Disclaimer

1. General legal information and tools — not legal advice

Juge.ca provides general legal information, educational content, automation tools, and case-management and organization solutions. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, legal representation or professional opinions.

No content or service offered on the platform replaces the judgment, advice or services of a lawyer, notary or other qualified professional.

2. Artificial intelligence and automated systems

Juge.ca uses artificial intelligence, machine learning and automated systems to assist users in organizing information, analyzing documents, preparing procedures, managing matters and navigating legal processes. Like any technology, these systems may produce errors, omissions, inaccuracies, or incomplete or outdated information.

It is the user's sole responsibility to verify, validate and confirm the accuracy, completeness and relevance of any information, recommendation, procedure, analysis, document or response generated by the platform before relying on it or making a decision.

3. References to third parties — no endorsement

Any reference to courts, government agencies, professional orders, firms, lawyers, notaries, bailiffs, experts or other third parties is provided for information only and does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, partnership, sponsorship or affiliation, unless expressly stated otherwise.

4. Affiliated partners and providers

Only organizations, professionals and service providers expressly identified as "Official Partner", "Verified Partner", "Sponsor", "Authorized Provider" or any equivalent designation are affiliated with Juge.ca. The rights, privileges, benefits, obligations and responsibilities associated with such affiliations are governed exclusively by the written agreements entered into between the parties concerned.

5. Reporting errors and feedback

Users are encouraged to report any error, inaccuracy, omission, technical failure or security concern. To allow effective analysis, reports should include as much information as possible, including a detailed description of the situation, the relevant circumstances, supporting documents and, where possible, screenshots.

Submitted feedback may be reviewed by authorized personnel, automated systems or artificial-intelligence agents for support, quality-assurance, compliance, security and continuous-improvement purposes.

6. Access to justice

Juge.ca is an initiative focused on improving access to justice. Every comment, suggestion or report contributes directly to improving the quality, reliability, effectiveness and accuracy of the services offered.

7. Legal professionals — control and responsibility

When used by lawyers, notaries or other legal professionals, any output, analysis, recommendation or assistance generated by the platform remains subject to the review, judgment and approval of the responsible professional.

The lawyer or notary retains at all times full discretion, professional authority, strategic control and sole responsibility for the advice given, opinions issued, communications with clients and decisions made within their professional mandate.

8. Professional protections

Juge.ca's systems, subsystems, automation tools, software agents and artificial-intelligence agents do not replace professional judgment, legal advice, legal representation, professional secrecy, solicitor-client (attorney-client) privilege, or work-product protections.
