JusFund Terms of Use

JusFund is operated by LexQuity Ltd, a company incorporated in England and Wales under company number 17288154 with its registered office at Flat 205, 5 Barking Wharf Square, Barking, England, IG11 7HZ ("LexQuity", "we", "us"). Questions about these terms go to info@jusfund.tech.

JusFund is a technology platform. It reads the record of an arbitration claim that a fund seeker uploads, produces a written assessment of that record using artificial intelligence and code, and, only when the fund seeker chooses, presents the claim to verified professional funders in stages, under confidentiality controls the fund seeker operates.

JusFund does not fund claims and never provides capital. Funding, where it happens, comes from independent professional funders who make their own decisions and contract directly with the fund seeker. LexQuity is not a party to any funding agreement unless it signs one.

JusFund does not give legal, financial, investment, tax or insurance advice. It is not a law firm, a funder, a broker, an investment adviser, an arbitral institution, a tribunal, an escrow agent, a bank or a payment institution, and it does not hold or move money. Nothing on the platform is a recommendation that any claim should be funded, that any funder should fund it, or that any offer should be accepted.

"Fund seeker" means a party to an arbitration, or a person authorised to act for that party, who uses the platform to obtain an assessment or to seek funding. "Funder" means a professional or institutional provider of capital admitted to the Deal Desk after verification. "Record" means the documents and information a fund seeker uploads or enters for a case. "Assessment" or "report" means the written output the platform produces from a record, including any band, percentage range, reasoning, risk register and information request. "Anonymised summary" means the party-neutral description of a case shown to funders before any confidentiality agreement. "Deal Desk" means the area of the platform where funders see anonymised summaries and request access. "Standard NDA" means the confidentiality agreement the platform offers for acceptance between a fund seeker and a funder.

You must be at least 18 and able to enter binding contracts. If you use the platform for an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind it, and "you" includes that organisation. The platform is intended for professional and commercial users. It is not offered to retail investors, and the Deal Desk is not a public offering of any investment.

Access to the Deal Desk is at our discretion and depends on verification of the funder and its firm. We may suspend or withdraw access where verification fails, information proves inaccurate, these terms are breached, or a regulatory or integrity concern arises.

Keep your credentials confidential and tell us at once if you suspect unauthorised use. You are responsible for activity under your account unless it results from our failure to maintain reasonable security. We may require a second step at sign-in, such as a code sent to a mobile number you verify with us or an authenticator app, and identity verification or verification of a firm before certain features open. Keep that number and device secure and tell us if either changes hands. Where you sign in through Google or Microsoft, their terms govern that account and ours govern the platform.

You confirm that you are entitled to upload every document and every piece of information you provide, and that doing so does not breach a confidentiality undertaking, a privilege, a tribunal or court order, an arbitration rule, an employment duty, data protection law or any other restriction. Where a consent, waiver or order is needed before disclosure, obtaining it is your responsibility, not ours. The platform's confidentiality controls reduce disclosure. They do not create a privilege, a waiver, an exemption or a safe harbour, and they do not replace your own judgement about what you may disclose.

You confirm that the information you provide is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge, and that you will not upload fabricated, misleading or unlawfully obtained material.

The assessment is generated by artificial intelligence from your record and from public sources the platform gathers, with the arithmetic computed in versioned code and the result reviewed by a second AI model from a different provider. It is research output to support your own decisions. It is not legal advice, it is not a prediction of what a tribunal will decide, and it is not a statistically calibrated forecast. Any band and percentage range describe the documentary strength of the record as submitted, on the platform's published framework, at a point in time. A percentage is always shown with its range and confidence level and must not be quoted without them.

The assessment can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. It depends on what you upload. It may decline to score a record that does not support a responsible assessment, and it will list the information that would change the result. Adding material produces a new version. Every version is kept. You remain responsible for your own legal advice and for every decision you take about your claim, and you agree not to present the assessment to anyone as a prediction, a valuation or an endorsement by LexQuity.

Nothing about your case reaches a funder until you list it. On listing, funders see the anonymised summary and the band with its range. Party names, the full report and the record open only to a funder you approve, and only once that funder and you have accepted the Standard NDA or an NDA you both upload. You may revoke a funder's access at any time. Revocation stops future access. It cannot recall what a funder has already read, which the NDA governs.

Anonymisation cannot be guaranteed. Information that is public elsewhere may allow a reader to infer the identity of a case from an anonymised summary. You are responsible for reviewing what the platform proposes to show before you list it.

If you are a funder, you confirm that you are a professional or institutional provider of capital, that the information you give in verification is accurate, and that you will tell us of material changes. You will use information obtained through the platform only to evaluate funding for the case it concerns. You will not attempt to identify the parties to an anonymised summary, combine it with other information to do so, contact the counterparty, the tribunal, opposing counsel, witnesses or experts on the strength of it, or use it for any other matter, client or investment. Verification means only that our process produced a given status at a given time. It is not a statement about a funder's solvency, reputation or suitability.

Any funding agreement is between the fund seeker and the funder. Each side is responsible for its own diligence and its own legal advice, including on the return structure, control, termination, adverse costs, settlement, disclosure duties, conflicts, security, tax and enforceability. The law on third-party funding differs materially between countries and between seats. The availability of the platform in a place does not mean that a given funding structure is lawful or enforceable there.

Introductions. A funder is introduced to a case when the platform records its request for access, and a fund seeker is introduced to that funder when the request is approved. The platform exists to make introductions that would not otherwise happen, and its fees depend on them.

Non-circumvention. For 24 months after an introduction, neither the fund seeker nor the funder will conclude, arrange or take part in any funding, purchase, assignment or monetisation of the case, of any claim arising from the same dispute, or of any award or settlement in it, with the other or with anyone acting for or with the other, except through the platform or with our prior written consent. Speaking, meeting and conducting diligence are not restricted. Each of you will tell us in writing within 14 days of concluding such an arrangement, whether or not through the platform, and will confirm on request, once a year, whether any such arrangement exists. Fund seekers and funders each accept a one-page undertaking to this effect before listing a case or requesting access, and that undertaking forms part of these terms.

What happens on a breach. You agree that a breach of this section causes LexQuity a loss that is hard to measure, and that an introduction fee equal to 2% of the total funding commitment, or the fee for that service published on the platform at the time of the introduction if higher, is a genuine pre-estimate of that loss and becomes payable on demand. We may also end the access of both accounts permanently, remove every listing and request connected with them, recover the reasonable costs of establishing and pursuing the breach, and seek an injunction or other relief without having to show that damages would be an inadequate remedy. These consequences are in addition to any claim between the fund seeker and the funder.

Standard NDA. The Standard Mutual NDA between a fund seeker and a funder records the introduction and gives LexQuity the right to enforce this section against both of them under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

The first analysis of a case is free. Where a fee applies to a service, it is shown to you and agreed before it applies. An introduction fee under section 10 is payable in the circumstances that section describes, whether or not a fee for the service was otherwise in force. We do not take a share of any award, settlement or recovery unless a written agreement between you and LexQuity expressly provides for it. We may change our prices for future services on notice. A change does not alter a fee already agreed.

You keep ownership of your record and of the substance of your case. You grant LexQuity a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, process, analyse, transmit and display your content to the extent needed to provide the platform, produce the assessment, keep the service secure, and, where you list a case, show what you have chosen to show to the funders you approve. That licence ends when the content is deleted, subject to retention we are required to keep under section 16.

The platform, its software, its assessment framework, prompts, code, designs, data structures, marks and documentation belong to LexQuity or its licensors. You may not copy, scrape, reverse engineer, extract, mirror or commercially exploit them, and you may not use the platform or its outputs to train or improve a machine-learning model.

You will not use the platform for anything unlawful, including fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, bribery or the concealment of proceeds of crime. You will not impersonate anyone, misstate your role or authority, interfere with security or access controls, upload malicious code, or use automated means to access the platform beyond what it offers. We may screen users against sanctions and other lists, may use third-party providers to do so, and may refuse, suspend or end access where the law requires it or where we reasonably identify a compliance concern.

To produce an assessment, the platform sends the text of your record, and queries derived from it, to third-party AI model providers, document-reading services, search services and public registries under contracts that prohibit those providers from using your content to train their models and that limit retention to what the service needs. The Privacy Notice names them and where they operate. Providers, locations and controls change over time and the Privacy Notice is kept current. Our AI Ethics Policy explains what the AI is allowed to do and what it is not.

Uploaded documents are treated as untrusted input. Instructions contained inside a document are not treated as instructions to the platform.

We process personal data as set out in the Privacy Notice. Where you upload documents containing personal data about other people, you confirm that you have a lawful basis to do so and, where required, that those people have been told. For that personal data you are a controller and we act as your processor, and the Privacy Notice sets out the terms on which we process it for you.

We keep records of platform activity, including uploads, assessment versions, listings, access requests, NDA acceptances, decisions and administrative actions, to provide the service, to evidence what happened, and to meet our legal duties. When you delete a case or close your account, we delete the content on the schedule in the Privacy Notice, except records we must keep for legal, regulatory, audit or security reasons or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. When a funder account is deleted, the funder's profile, mandate and watchlist are deleted, and the record of which NDAs it accepted, which cases it was given access to and which reports it viewed is kept for six years, because the fund seekers concerned are entitled to rely on it.

We apply technical and organisational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the material, including encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, logging of access to confidential material, and monitoring. No online service can be made completely secure, and you accept that risk cannot be reduced to nothing. Keep your own systems and credentials secure.

We may change, suspend or withdraw any feature for security, legal, technical or commercial reasons. The platform may be unavailable during maintenance or because of events outside our control. We may amend these terms. We will give notice of material changes on the platform or by email, and a revised version applies from its stated date. Where the law requires your affirmative acceptance of a change, we will ask for it.

To the fullest extent the law allows, the platform and every assessment are provided as they are and as available. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted or error-free, that any assessment will be accurate or complete, that any case will attract interest or funding, that any funder will perform, that any funding agreement will be enforceable, or that any claim will succeed.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any liability the law does not allow a business to exclude.

Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect, consequential, special or exemplary loss, for loss of profit, opportunity, funding, recovery, business or goodwill, or for any loss arising from a decision to commence, defend, settle, fund or abandon a claim, or from any agreement between a fund seeker and a funder. Subject to that, our total liability arising out of or in connection with the platform in any twelve-month period is limited to the greater of £25,000 and the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions or limitations. Where that is so, they apply to the fullest extent permitted.

To the extent the law allows, you will compensate LexQuity and its officers, employees and contractors for losses, liabilities and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these terms, from an unlawful disclosure by you, from a breach of a third party's rights caused by your content, or from your fraud or wilful misconduct. This does not apply to loss caused by our own breach, negligence or misconduct.

We may suspend or end your access where reasonably necessary to protect the platform, another user, confidential material, marketplace integrity or legal compliance, and we will tell you why unless the law prevents it. A breach of section 10 or section 13 results in the permanent removal of the account and of every account we reasonably consider connected with it. You may close your account at any time. Sections 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 21 and 24 survive termination.

You accept these terms, the Standard NDA and any other platform document electronically. We record the version and cryptographic hash of the text accepted, the accepting account, the time and the network address. That record is intended to be an electronic signature and evidence of agreement under the laws that recognise electronic signatures, including the Electronic Communications Act 2000 in the United Kingdom, Regulation (EU) 910/2014 in the European Union, the ESIGN Act and UETA in the United States, Federal Decree-Law No. 46 of 2021 in the United Arab Emirates and the Electronic Transactions Act 2010 in Singapore. Notices to you go to the email address on your account. Notices to us go to info@jusfund.tech.

These terms and any non-contractual obligation connected with them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with them, including their existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the LCIA Rules, seated in London, before a sole arbitrator, in English, on an individual basis. Either of us may seek urgent interim or protective relief from a competent court, and nothing in this section removes rights that mandatory law gives you in your country of residence, including the right of a consumer to bring proceedings there. Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate, LexQuity may bring proceedings in the courts of England and Wales to recover sums due under section 10 or section 11 or to enforce section 10, and you submit to the jurisdiction of those courts for that purpose.

United Kingdom: LexQuity is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, and nothing on the platform is a financial promotion or an invitation to engage in investment activity. United States: the platform does not offer securities, is not a broker-dealer or investment adviser, and its content is not directed at retail investors. European Union: the platform is provided from the United Kingdom and complies with the rules that apply to a provider established there. Singapore: LexQuity does not conduct regulated activities under the Securities and Futures Act and is not licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. United Arab Emirates: LexQuity is not licensed by the Securities and Commodities Authority, the Dubai Financial Services Authority or the ADGM Financial Services Regulatory Authority, and the platform is not a financial promotion in the UAE. Wherever you are, the platform's availability does not mean that a particular activity through it is lawful for you, and you are responsible for the laws that apply to you.

If any part of these terms is unenforceable it is modified to the minimum extent needed, and the rest stands. A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these terms without our written consent. These terms, with the documents they incorporate, are the whole agreement between you and LexQuity about the platform and replace earlier website terms on the same subject. Where a specific written agreement between you and LexQuity conflicts with these terms, that agreement prevails.

In short: JusFund reads and assesses your record, and shows your case to funders only when you say so. It does not fund claims, does not advise, and does not decide. The decisions stay with you and with the funder.
