Terms of use

Who provides the service

Avokata is developed and provided by Mindaugas Kiznis, trading as Kiznis Studio, an individual, reachable at hello@avokata.com. No company has been registered yet, so there is no company code, VAT number or registered office to publish. When a company is registered, these terms will name it. Avokata is not an advocate (advokatas) or a law firm and provides no advocate’s services.

Who may use Avokata

Avokata is for professionals aged 18 or over who use it in their work. It is not intended for use by or on behalf of a court or other judicial authority in deciding cases.

At verified sign-in, review these terms and the linked roles and AI-use guide, then tick the acknowledgement yourself. Your AI assistant cannot accept for you. We record the version, document binding, language and time. The privacy notice explains how we use your data; it is a notice, not a request for blanket data-processing consent. The acceptable use policy and the roles guide form part of these terms.

You, your AI agent and Avokata

You set the task, provide relevant facts and instructions, and review the result. Your AI agent chooses tools, interprets their responses and drafts the answer; its behaviour depends on the model, app, context, memory, skills and your guidance. Avokata supplies research tools and source material, maintains its own service and datasets, discloses known limits and investigates and corrects its own faults.

AI can make mistakes. Before relying on important conclusions, check the authoritative sources, applicable date and edition, citations and actual facts. No result does not establish that no relevant law exists. Avokata gives your agent source material it can inspect and cite; it does not guarantee that the agent will use it correctly or that the material is complete. Liability is set out in the section Responsibility and liability.

No legal advice

Avokata is a research tool for Lithuanian legal acts and court practice. It is not legal advice, not a substitute for reading the primary sources, and not an official position of any court or register. You remain responsible for your professional judgement and for verification.

Acceptable use

You must follow the acceptable use policy. In short: use Avokata for good-faith professional research through the published tools; do not bypass quotas, scrape the corpus at scale, search for people, attack the service, or present its output as an official court position.

Beta and availability

Avokata is in beta. Features, coverage and limits may change. We aim to keep the service available but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, or a published service level, during the beta.

Fees

Free during the beta: nothing is charged and no payment obligation arises from using the service.

Intellectual property

We and our licensors keep the rights in Avokata, its documentation and marks. Statute and ruling texts in the corpus are public records; we claim no ownership of them. You keep the rights in content you enter (matter profiles, workflows). We may use aggregated, non-identifying usage metadata to run and improve the service.

Warranty

To the fullest extent the law allows, Avokata is provided as is and as available, without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement. Nothing here excludes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Responsibility and liability

Avokata is a free beta, offered to try. You use it at your own risk and decide yourself whether and how to rely on its results.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any damage arising from using Avokata or from being unable to use it, including indirect damage, lost profit, lost data and the consequences of decisions taken on its results. Where liability cannot be excluded but may be limited, our total liability to you is limited to EUR 100.

These limits do not apply where the law does not allow them: damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, injury to health, loss of life, non-pecuniary damage, other liability set by mandatory law (Civil Code of the Republic of Lithuania, Article 6.252), and rights that consumers cannot waive (Article 6.228⁴). We do not control a separate AI provider’s reasoning, tool choices or conversation handling.

Matter profiles and client data

During the beta, do not put your clients’ personal data into matter profiles or workflows; describe the facts without names. We do not yet offer a data processing agreement (DPA).

Shared workflows

If you agree to share a workflow, you give us a free, non-exclusive licence to adapt it and publish a de-identified version. We never name you.

Changes to these terms

We announce changes on this page and in the inbox in your account before they take effect. Material changes apply to you only after you accept them again at sign-in.

Transfer to a company

We plan to register a company to provide Avokata. We may transfer these terms and our role as data controller to it. We will announce this in advance on this page and in the inbox in your account; if you do not agree, you can delete your account.

Termination

You may stop using Avokata at any time and delete your account through the service or by writing to privacy@avokata.com. We may suspend or end access if you materially breach these terms or the acceptable use policy, after notice where reasonable.

Governing law and courts

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Lithuania, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protection in your country requires otherwise. The courts of Vilnius, Lithuania, have exclusive jurisdiction where the law permits.
