Terms of Service
1. Acceptance
These Terms of Service govern your use of level-field.com and the services offered by Level-Field. By submitting materials through this site, you agree to these Terms.
2. Services
Level-Field offers three services.
Dismantle. Verification of a filing prepared by another party. The deliverable is a report identifying citation, quotation, and proposition deficiencies in the filing.
Build. Drafting of a responsive filing on verified authority. Available only to licensed attorneys. The supervising attorney of record retains sole responsibility for review, revision, signature, and filing.
Arm. Delivery of verified legal research materials organized for use in your own matter. Available only to laypersons.
3. Eligibility
The Attorney intake is available only to attorneys licensed to practice law in the jurisdiction of the matter. You represent that you are such an attorney and that the bar number you provide is current and in good standing. Level-Field may verify bar status.
The Layperson intake is available to individuals not represented by counsel in the matter to which the submission relates.
You must be at least 18 years of age to use this site.
4. Submission and Quote
Within 24 hours of receiving your submission, Level-Field will reply with a price and a timeline for the deliverable you have requested. The quote is binding on Level-Field for 72 hours from delivery unless extended in writing.
5. Engagement and Payment
An engagement begins when you accept the quote in writing and pay any amount required at acceptance. Payment terms are stated in the quote. Quoted prices are exclusive of any taxes, which are your responsibility.
6. Turnaround
Following your acceptance, Level-Field will deliver within:
- 48 hours for standard deliverables; or
- 72 hours if the submitted materials exceed 20 pages or the deliverable will exceed 15 pages.
If Level-Field misses these windows for any reason other than force majeure, you may cancel the engagement and receive a full refund of any amounts paid. Level-Field is not liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, internet outages, third-party data source failures, and government action.
7. No Attorney-Client Relationship
No attorney-client relationship is formed between you and Level-Field, or between you and any Level-Field staff member, at any stage of your interaction with this site or the services. The submission of materials, the receipt of a quote, the acceptance of an engagement, the delivery of any work product, and any subsequent communication do not create an attorney-client relationship.
8. Not a Substitute for Legal Advice
Level-Field is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. Level-Field's deliverables are not legal advice. The Dismantle and Arm deliverables are organized legal information. The Build deliverable is work product prepared for adoption by the supervising attorney of record, who retains sole responsibility for review, revision, signature, and filing.
If you require legal representation or legal advice, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
9. Your Materials and Authority
You represent and warrant that:
- You have all rights, permissions, and authority necessary to submit the materials you upload, including any privileged or confidential materials of your clients;
- Your submission does not violate any court order, protective order, sealing order, or other legal obligation; and
- The information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
Level-Field is not responsible for verifying your authority to share the materials you submit.
10. Deliverables and Intellectual Property
Upon payment in full, you own the deliverable and may use, modify, file, or discard it at your discretion. Level-Field retains all rights in its verification architecture, methodology, templates, and research databases.
11. Confidentiality
Level-Field treats all materials you submit as confidential. Level-Field will not disclose your materials to any third party other than:
- Service providers under confidentiality obligations equivalent to these Terms; or
- As required by law, court order, or subpoena, with notice to you where legally permissible.
Confidentiality survives termination of these Terms.
You acknowledge that Level-Field's verification process may involve analysis of your materials by automated systems and Level-Field personnel. Such internal handling does not constitute disclosure.
All uploaded materials are stored in encrypted, access-restricted cloud infrastructure with access limited to Level-Field personnel performing the engagement. Files are deleted ninety days after delivery of the work product.
12. Permitted Use
You agree not to use Level-Field:
- To submit materials you are not legally permitted to share;
- To submit materials sealed under court order without redaction in compliance with that order;
- To submit materials in furtherance of fraud, harassment, or any unlawful purpose;
- To resell, rebrand, or repackage Level-Field deliverables as your own work product, except that Build deliverables may be adopted by the supervising attorney of record;
- To circumvent or test the security of this site or Level-Field's systems.
13. Disclaimer of Warranties
Level-Field's services are provided "as is" and "as available." Level-Field disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Level-Field warrants only that verified citations, quotations, and propositions in its deliverables accurately reflect the underlying authorities as they exist at the time of the deliverable's production. Legal authorities may change after delivery. Level-Field is not responsible for changes in the law occurring after a deliverable is produced.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Level-Field's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services is limited to the amount you paid for the deliverable that gave rise to the claim.
Level-Field is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or loss of business opportunity.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Level-Field and its officers, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, damage, or expense arising from (i) your breach of these Terms, (ii) your use of any deliverable, or (iii) the materials you submit.
16. Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement at any time by written notice. If you terminate after Level-Field has begun work, you will be charged for work performed up to the time of termination, as determined by Level-Field in good faith.
Level-Field may decline any submission for any reason or no reason.
17. Dispute Resolution
Level-Field reserves the exclusive right to elect the forum. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services may be resolved through: (a) final binding arbitration administered by the Dubai International Arbitration Centre under its rules, with seat in the DIFC, English language proceedings, and a single arbitrator; or (b) litigation in the DIFC Courts. You irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of the DIFC Courts and waive any objection to venue. The DIFC Courts Small Claims Tribunal is available where claims qualify.
18. Class Action Waiver
Subject to applicable law, disputes between you and Level-Field must be resolved individually. You may not bring or participate in any class, consolidated, or representative action against Level-Field. If a court determines this waiver is void or that a dispute may proceed on a class basis, the dispute must be brought exclusively in the DIFC Courts and the arbitration provisions of these Terms become null.
19. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) law, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
20. Assignment
You may not assign your rights or delegate your obligations under these Terms without Level-Field's prior written consent. Level-Field may assign these Terms without consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
21. Modifications to These Terms
Level-Field may modify these Terms at any time by posting the updated Terms at level-field.com. The Terms in effect at the time of your submission govern that engagement.
22. Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. These Terms, together with any quote you accept, constitute the entire agreement between you and Level-Field with respect to the services.
