Terms & Conditions.

LegalWork is a local-first desktop application published by Eigenwelt Labs, operated by Poensgen Technology UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Berlin, Germany (“Eigenwelt”, “we”, “us”). These Terms govern the official LegalWork builds we distribute (the “App”). By installing or using the App, you agree to them.

The hosted Eigenwelt Plus service has separate Terms & Conditions.

What LegalWork is

LegalWork is free software for legal document review, drafting, recordings, transcription, and related work. It runs on your computer. You may run local models, connect a model provider with your own API key, or use an optional free Eigenwelt model.

Local data and model choices

Documents, prompts, drafts, recordings, and work product remain on your device unless you choose a feature that sends them elsewhere. If you connect a third-party model, selected content is sent to that provider under your agreement with it. You are responsible for choosing providers appropriate for confidentiality, privilege, data protection, and professional duties. Local-model inference does not leave your device.

Free Eigenwelt models

Free models are offered through a separate evaluation gateway without an account. The free gateway is not zero data retention: prompts, responses, model, and usage details may be logged. Do not use it with personal, privileged, client, or matter data. The App displays a notice when a free model is active.

The free service is subject to per-device, per-IP, rate, and global limits. Available models, limits, and the free service may change or be withdrawn at any time.

Optional usage analytics

The App can send anonymous, content-free product analytics to PostHog's EU endpoint. You can disable this during setup or later under Settings → Privacy → Share anonymous usage data.

• Analytics may include event names, duration, App version, platform, and model ID.
• Analytics never includes prompts, messages, files, recordings, or work product.

See the LegalWork Privacy Notice for details.

License and output

LegalWork source code is available under the project LICENSE. These Terms govern official builds and do not limit open-source rights. To the extent permitted by law, you retain your rights in your inputs and own generated output. AI output may not be unique.

Acceptable use and professional responsibility

You must use the App lawfully and in line with applicable confidentiality, privilege, supervision, ethical, and data-protection duties. You are responsible for the data you process and must not use the App to violate law or another person's rights.

LegalWork assists with legal work but does not provide legal advice. AI output can be incorrect, incomplete, or outdated. A qualified professional must review and verify output, citations, and work product before relying on or sharing it.

Availability, warranty, and liability

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that output will be accurate or fit for a particular matter.

Nothing limits liability for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, an expressly assumed guarantee, or liability that cannot be limited by law. For slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation and only for foreseeable damage typical of this agreement. Otherwise, liability is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

Changes, law, and contact

We may update these Terms prospectively and will change the date above. These Terms are governed by German law. The courts of Berlin have jurisdiction to the extent permitted by law.
