Terms of Service

Last updated: 28 March 2026

Welcome to Denning. By using our mobile application, you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully.

1. About Denning

Denning is a legal aid platform that helps citizens understand their rights, use Ask Denning, track supported court cases, discover advocates, estimate legal fees, and access legal information. Advocate services, document services, court workflows, and live court sync may be limited to pilots or supported regions.

2. AI Legal Assistant

Denning includes an AI-powered assistant that provides general legal guidance based on Indian law. This assistant:

• Provides general information about legal processes, rights, and procedures
• Does not constitute legal advice from a licensed advocate
• May not reflect the most recent legal changes or amendments
• Should not be relied upon as the sole basis for legal decisions

For matters requiring legal representation, we recommend consulting a qualified advocate through our platform or independently.

3. Advocate Services

Denning facilitates connections between clients and advocates. We do not:

• Endorse, guarantee, or vouch for any advocate listed on the platform
• Guarantee the outcome of any legal matter
• Act as a party to any advocate-client relationship
• Set or control advocate fees (fee information is provided for reference only)

Clients are responsible for verifying advocate credentials and making their own decisions about legal representation.

When using Denning, you agree to:

• Provide accurate information during registration and profile setup

The Denning app, its design, code, and content (excluding user-generated content) are owned by us. Legal texts, statutes, and court judgments included in the knowledge base are public domain materials.
