Terms of Service | GoLegally

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the GoLegally platform, including the website at golegally.com, our products (Accounting Engine, FormEngine, Compliance Desk), APIs, and all related services provided by Vadavision Limited (Company number 16579017), operating as "GoLegally" ("we", "us").

By accessing or using GoLegally, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our services.

1. Services

GoLegally provides expert-led legal and compliance services for businesses, including:

Company formation and registration
Tax registration and compliance filings
Intellectual property filings
Annual filings and statutory returns
Accounting, invoicing, and financial reporting (via Accounting Engine API)
Form management and document collection (via FormEngine API)

2. Accounts

To use certain features, you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information.

Organizations on GoLegally are multi-tenant. Each organization has its own data, users, and billing. You may belong to multiple organizations.

3. Accuracy of Information

You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of information you provide for government filings. GoLegally processes filings based on the information you submit. We verify documents for format and completeness, but we are not responsible for the accuracy of the underlying information.

Important: Government filing fees and professional fees are clearly disclosed before you confirm any service. GoLegally does not charge hidden fees.

4. API & Platform Usage

API Access

Our products (Accounting Engine, FormEngine, Compliance Desk) expose REST APIs. API access is governed by your subscription plan. You agree to:

Keep your API keys and secret keys confidential
Not exceed published rate limits
Not use the API to build a competing product
Not share API keys with unauthorized third parties

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Use GoLegally for any unlawful purpose
Submit false or fraudulent filings
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems
Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to extract data (except via our published APIs)
Interfere with or disrupt the platform's operation

5. Pricing & Payments

Service fees are displayed at the time of order. All prices are in GBP and include VAT where it applies, unless stated otherwise. Government fees are passed through at cost. We do not mark them up.

For API products, billing is based on your selected plan. Overages, if any, are billed at the end of the billing cycle at published overage rates.

6. Refunds & Cancellations

Before filing: If we have not yet submitted your filing to the government, you may cancel for a full refund of our service fee. Government fees already paid are non-refundable.

After filing: Once a filing is submitted to the government, service fees are non-refundable. If a filing is rejected due to our error, we will re-file at no additional cost.

Your rights as a consumer: If you are buying as a consumer (not for your business), the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 give you the right to cancel within 14 days of ordering, without giving a reason. If you ask us to start work within those 14 days, you will pay for the work done up to the point you cancel, and once a service is fully performed the right to cancel ends. Government fees already paid on your behalf cannot be recovered. To cancel, email legal@golegally.com with your order number. Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights.

7. Intellectual Property

GoLegally and its products, logos, content, and software are owned by Vadavision Limited and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from our platform without prior written consent.

Your data remains yours. We do not claim ownership of data you submit. We use it only to provide and improve our services, as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit.

Subject to that, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, GoLegally shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the platform, or for loss of profit, revenue or data where you use the platform for your business. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

GoLegally is a technology platform, not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. For complex legal matters, we recommend consulting a qualified legal professional.

9. Indemnification

If you use GoLegally for your business, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless GoLegally, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from your use of the platform, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party. This does not apply to consumers.

10. Service Availability

We strive for 99.9% uptime but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may perform maintenance with reasonable notice. Government portal availability is outside our control. Filing timelines depend on Companies House, HMRC, and other government systems being operational.

11. Termination

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for violation of these Terms, non-payment, or fraudulent activity. Upon termination, your data will be retained for the legally required period and then deleted. You may request a data export before closure.

12. Governing Law

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of them, are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring a claim in the courts there.

13. Changes to Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice on the platform at least 30 days before they take effect. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
