Terms & Conditions
Please read and accept before using LegalBill. Full End User Licence Agreement: support@canaanai.co.za
  • Licence — LegalBill is licensed, not sold. Your once-off fee buys a perpetual licence to use the software within your tier’s user limits, under the End User Licence Agreement.
  • No sharing — you may not resell, share your licence key, copy the software beyond one backup, or reverse engineer it.
  • Your data stays yours — your practice data is stored on your own devices and in your own cloud database. Canaan AI cannot see it and cannot recover it: you are responsible for backups and for your database account credentials.
  • Not professional advice — LegalBill is a billing and record-keeping tool. Verify tariffs, VAT, tax figures and trust records against current law, SARS requirements and Legal Practice Council rules before relying on them.
  • Updates & support — software updates are included for your entitlement period; support is by email at support@canaanai.co.za on South African business days.
  • Try before you buy — a free 7-day trial lets you evaluate LegalBill fully before purchasing. The software is provided “as is”, and Canaan AI’s total liability is limited to the licence fee paid. Your statutory rights are not affected.
  • Privacy — Canaan AI holds only your purchase, licence and support details; see the Privacy Policy & POPIA Notice.
  • Law — these terms are governed by the law of the Republic of South Africa.
