The integrity of the Business Legal Rating system depends on the accuracy of the information users provide. You have an ongoing obligation to ensure that:

• All information submitted in assessments is accurate, complete, and current to the best of your knowledge;
• You promptly correct any material inaccuracies you discover after submission by contacting us;
• You do not submit assessments based on hypothetical or aspirational information rather than actual practices.

We reserve the right to investigate and remove ratings that we have reasonable grounds to believe were obtained through inaccurate or fraudulent submissions.

Legal ratings are provided for informational purposes only. When sharing your rating with third parties, you must:

• Present the rating in its full context, including the rating date and the disclaimer that it does not constitute legal advice;
• Not represent the rating as a guarantee of legal compliance or as an endorsement by any regulatory authority;
• Not use the rating in any way that could mislead investors, clients, or other stakeholders;
• Acknowledge that ratings reflect a point-in-time assessment and may become outdated as legal circumstances change.

We reserve the right to investigate any suspected violation of this AUP. If we determine that a violation has occurred, we may take any of the following actions at our sole discretion:

• Issue a warning;
• Suspend or permanently terminate your account;
• Remove or invalidate a rating obtained through prohibited conduct;
• Report the conduct to relevant law enforcement or regulatory authorities;
• Pursue legal action for damages or injunctive relief.

We will cooperate fully with law enforcement authorities in connection with any investigation of unlawful use of the platform.

If you become aware of any use of the platform that violates this AUP, please report it to us immediately at[email protected]. Include as much detail as possible, including the nature of the violation, the account involved (if known), and any supporting evidence.

We take all reports seriously and will investigate promptly. We will protect the confidentiality of reporters to the extent reasonably practicable.

We may update this AUP from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the platform and by email. Continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised AUP.
