Terms and Conditions

Last updated :

  1. AGREEMENT TO TERMS

By accessing or using the Drift platform ("Service"), you agree to be
bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not
use the Service. These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you
("User," "you") and Drift Solutions UG (haftungsbeschränkt) ("Drift,"
"we," "us," or "our"). They do not affect any mandatory statutory rights
you may have under the laws of your country of residence, including
applicable EU consumer protection law.

  1. WHAT DRIFT IS — AND IS NOT

Drift is a matching platform. We help individuals and businesses find and
connect with independent, third-party lawyers ("Legal Providers"). Our
role is limited to matching: we introduce you to a Legal Provider based on
general information you give us.

Drift is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not
practise law. We do not provide the immigration or legal service itself,
and we are not an administrative or service partner of the Legal Provider
in the delivery of legal work. No attorney-client relationship is ever
formed between you and Drift.

Drift operates in compliance with the German Rechtsdienstleistungsgesetz
(RDG). We provide a platform and matching service only, not a legal
service as defined under the RDG.

  1. THE LEGAL SERVICE IS PROVIDED BY THE LAWYER, NOT BY DRIFT

Any legal service you receive is provided under a separate agreement
concluded directly between you and the Legal Provider. Drift is not a
party to that agreement.

  • The Legal Provider is solely responsible for the advice, representation,
    services, fees, and outcomes of your matter.

  • The full attorney-client relationship — including attorney-client
    privilege and professional confidentiality — exists solely between you
    and the Legal Provider.

  • All case data, documents, and case files are held and controlled
    directly by the Legal Provider. Drift does not receive, store, access,
    or retain your case data at any point.

  • Any engagement, retainer, or contract for legal services is entered into
    directly with the Legal Provider, on their terms.

  1. FREE FOR USERS — HOW DRIFT IS PAID

Use of the Drift platform is free for users. We do not charge you to use
the Service or to be matched with a Legal Provider.

Drift is paid by the Legal Providers, who pay us a platform fee for being
part of the network and for matches. This fee is a matter between Drift
and the Legal Provider and does not add any cost to you.

  1. LAWYER FEES ARE SET BY THE LAWYER

The fees for any legal service are set entirely and independently by the
Legal Provider. Drift does not set, control, or influence these fees.

Where Drift displays or communicates a Legal Provider's fees, we do so
only to relay information provided by the Legal Provider. Such information
is indicative only and is not an offer by Drift. The binding fees, scope,
and terms of any legal service are agreed directly between you and the
Legal Provider.

  1. NO ENDORSEMENT; YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Drift does not endorse, guarantee, or warrant the quality, competence,
    or conduct of any Legal Provider.

  • Drift has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the
    advice, services, or outcomes provided by any Legal Provider.

  • You are responsible for independently verifying the credentials and
    suitability of any Legal Provider before engaging them.

  1. NOT LEGAL ADVICE

All content, resources, and communications provided through the Service —
including any free pre-check — are for general information only and do not
constitute legal advice. Any pre-check is based on publicly available
sources and general information. You should not act, or refrain from
acting, based on information provided by Drift without first seeking
qualified legal counsel.

  1. ELIGIBILITY

You must be at least 18 years of age and legally capable of entering into
a binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent
and warrant that you meet these requirements.

  1. USER ACCOUNTS

  • You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.

  • You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information.

  • You are solely responsible for all activity under your account.

  • Notify us immediately at hello@driftlegal.ai if you suspect unauthorised
    access to your account.

  1. USER CONDUCT

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable
    law.

  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information.

  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service.

  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service.

  • Use the Service to harass, threaten, or harm others.

  1. OUR RIGHTS

We reserve the right, at any time and at our discretion, to modify,
suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it), to change the
Legal Providers available on the platform, and to refuse, suspend, or
terminate access for any User or Legal Provider who breaches these Terms
or applicable law, or where there is good cause (wichtiger Grund). Where
reasonably practicable we will give reasonable prior notice; in cases of
serious misconduct, immediate action is permitted.

  1. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All content, trademarks, logos, and materials on the Service are owned by
or licensed to Drift and protected by applicable intellectual property
laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works
without our express written permission.

  1. DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY (GDPR)

Drift processes personal data in accordance with the EU General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable national data protection laws,
including the German Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG). As explained in
section 3, case data is held directly by the Legal Provider, who is a
separate controller for it.

Our Privacy Policy, available at /privacy, sets out in full how we
collect, process, store, and share your personal data, including the
lawful bases and retention periods. The Privacy Policy forms part of these
Terms and is incorporated by reference. For data protection enquiries,
contact hello@driftlegal.ai.

  1. DISCLAIMERS

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided on an
"as is" and "as available" basis. Drift makes no warranties, express or
implied, regarding the availability, accuracy, or fitness of the Service
for a particular purpose, and gives no warranty as to any Legal Provider
or the outcome of any legal matter.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits Drift's liability for death or
personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent
misrepresentation, or for any other matter where exclusion of liability is
prohibited by mandatory applicable law (including § 309 No. 7 BGB).

  1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law — and subject to the
mandatory provisions of German law including §§ 307–309 BGB — Drift's
liability is limited as follows:

  • Drift is fully liable for damages caused by intent (Vorsatz) or gross
    negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit), and for injury to life, body, or
    health.

  • For damages caused by simple negligence (einfache Fahrlässigkeit), Drift
    is liable only where a material contractual obligation (wesentliche
    Vertragspflicht / Kardinalpflicht) has been breached, and only up to the
    amount of foreseeable, typical damages at the time the contract was
    concluded.

  • Drift is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from
    simple negligence, except where a material contractual obligation has
    been breached.

  • Drift is not liable for the acts, omissions, advice, or services of any
    Legal Provider, who acts independently.

This limitation does not affect any mandatory statutory liability (e.g.,
under the German Product Liability Act, Produkthaftungsgesetz).

  1. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Drift and its
affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against
any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees) arising out of your intentional or negligent
violation of these Terms or of any third-party rights. This clause does
not apply to the extent the claim arises from Drift's own fault.

  1. TERM AND TERMINATION

By Drift: We may suspend or terminate your access for good cause (wichtiger
Grund), including material violation of these Terms, fraudulent activity,
or conduct harmful to others. Where reasonably practicable we will give
reasonable prior notice; serious misconduct permits immediate termination.

By you: You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time
by contacting hello@driftlegal.ai. As the Service is free to users,
closing your account carries no charge.

  1. ONLINE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ODR) — EU CONSUMERS

The European Commission provides an Online Dispute Resolution platform at
https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Our contact email for ODR purposes is
hello@driftlegal.ai. Drift is not obliged, and does not voluntarily commit,
to participate in proceedings before a consumer arbitration board
(Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle) unless required by law, but is willing to
seek an informal, good-faith resolution first.

  1. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany (Berlin). For consumers
residing in the EU, this choice of law does not deprive you of the
protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of
habitual residence (Rome I Regulation, Art. 6). For disputes with
consumers residing in Germany, the courts of the consumer's place of
residence have jurisdiction (§ 29c ZPO; Brussels I Recast, Art. 18). For
disputes with business users (Unternehmer), the courts of Berlin have
exclusive jurisdiction.

  1. CHANGES TO TERMS

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify registered
users of material changes by email or prominent in-app notice at least 30
days before they take effect. Continued use after changes take effect
constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you may close your account
before the changes take effect. Consumer rights under applicable law are
not affected by any change to these Terms.

  1. SEVERABILITY

If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable — including under
§§ 307–309 BGB — it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to
make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The
remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

  1. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies
expressly incorporated, constitute the entire agreement between you and
Drift with respect to the Service.
