Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Commercial Awareness web application (the "Platform"), operated by Kode Legal Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales ("we", "us", "our").

By creating an account or using the Platform, you confirm that you accept these Terms and agree to comply with them. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Your continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We recommend that you save or print a copy of these Terms for your records.

We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation, for example if we decide to sell the business. We will notify you in writing if this happens and will ensure the transfer does not affect your rights under these Terms.

The Platform is a preparation tool for educational purposes only. Content on the Platform does not constitute legal, financial, tax, or investment advice. While we aim for accuracy, the legal and commercial landscape changes rapidly and content may be outdated or simplified. Kode Legal Ltd is not a law firm and the use of the Platform does not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and Kode Legal Ltd. You use the information provided at your own risk.

Nothing on the Platform constitutes an investment recommendation or financial promotion as defined under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA). Any discussion of market trends, transactions, or financial instruments is provided solely for educational context.

You should obtain professional or specialist advice before taking or refraining from any action based on content on the Platform.

The Platform provides structured learning materials, scenario-based quizzes, and flashcards designed to help users develop commercial awareness in the context of UK commercial law careers. Content is organised into topic packs covering areas such as mergers and acquisitions, private equity, banking and finance, capital markets, and current affairs.

The Platform also offers features on certain subscription tiers that allow users to upload documents and receive AI-generated summaries, quizzes, and flashcards based on those documents.

Although we make reasonable efforts to keep content on the Platform accurate and up to date, we make no representations, warranties, or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content is accurate, complete, or current.

To use the Platform, you must create an account by providing a valid email address and password.

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must not share your account with any other person or allow any third party to access the Platform using your credentials.

If you know or suspect that anyone other than you has access to your account, you must notify us immediately at info@kode-legal.com.

We reserve the right to disable any account at any time if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms.

Use of the Platform is strictly for individual, non-commercial, educational use. Use by or on behalf of any commercial entity, law firm, educational institution, or any other organisation is prohibited without a separate commercial licence agreement from Kode Legal Ltd.

You may not use a single account to provide access to multiple individuals, project or display Platform content to groups, or incorporate Platform content into any training programme, course, or resource without our prior written consent.

The Platform offers a free tier with access to a limited number of topic packs, and paid subscription tiers that provide access to additional content and features including document uploads with AI-generated learning materials. Details of current plans and pricing are displayed on the Platform.

Payments are processed securely through a third-party payment provider. By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorise us to charge the applicable fee to your chosen payment method on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on the plan you select).

We reserve the right to change our prices at any time. If you do not agree to a new price, you may cancel your subscription before the new price applies.

If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid in full before the change takes effect.

If we are unable to collect any payment you owe us, we may charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per year above the Bank of England base rate. This interest accrues daily from the due date until the date of actual payment.

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the Platform. Upon cancellation, you will continue to have access to your paid plan until the end of your current billing period.

If you are on a monthly plan, cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing month. If you are on an annual plan, cancellation will take effect at the end of the current 12-month period. Annual plan pricing is discounted to reflect your commitment to a longer subscription period and no partial refunds will be issued.

By subscribing to a paid plan, you request immediate access to the digital content and acknowledge that your 14-day right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 will be lost once you begin accessing the content.

Your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 are not affected. Under this Act, digital content must be as described, fit for purpose, and of satisfactory quality. If the digital content we supply is faulty, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement, or refund. If the fault cannot be fixed within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, you may be entitled to some or all of your money back.
