Licence agreement

1. Definitions

• Bureau — the Kremlin House of Justice, chamber reference: Moscow Chamber of Advocates. Contacts: telephone and email published on the site.
• User — a client, a Bureau officer, or another person to whom the Bureau has opened cabinet access.
• Cabinet — the personal account on kremlinpravo.ru and related internal sections.
• Application — the Kremlin House of Justice program for Windows distributed by the Bureau.
• Mandate — the legal-services agreement between the Bureau and the client.

2. Subject

The Bureau grants the User a non-exclusive right to use the Cabinet and the Application to the extent needed to perform the Mandate or for a Bureau officer’s official work. The right does not include sublicensing and does not transfer copyright in the software or design.

The Cabinet and the Application are provided as part of organising legal assistance, not as a mass-market software product. Fees, tariff composition and the term of access are set by the Mandate and by the terms visible to the User in the cabinet.

3. Intellectual property

The site, Cabinet, Application, texts, design and databases are the Bureau’s intellectual property or are used under a lawful title. The User may not circumvent protection, decompile the program except where the law expressly allows it, remove copyright notices, or copy the cabinet as a third-party service.

4. Use of the cabinet and the application

Cabinet access opens after registration or an invitation from the Bureau. The Application is installed on the User’s device; the Bureau may supply updates.

The Bureau seeks to keep the cabinet available. Planned work is generally done at night Moscow time. Outages of the User’s network, Internet failures and User misconduct are not counted as Bureau downtime.

The User may not disrupt the cabinet, attempt to obtain another person’s access, post unlawful information, or share credentials.

Matter documents may be hidden from the client until a Bureau officer publishes them — a draft-protection measure, not a refusal to inform under the Mandate.

5. Fees

The cost of legal assistance, retainers, hourly work, mixed plans and combinations of tariffs are fixed in the Mandate and in the cabinet. Amounts on the Russian interface are shown in roubles; on the English interface — in US dollars as a cabinet indication. Settlements under a Russian Mandate are in roubles unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

Card checkout on public site pages may be limited; a payment through the cabinet does not replace the Mandate.

6. Support

Questions about the cabinet and the Application are accepted at info@kremlinpravo.ru and through the concierge line. The Bureau replies on business days. Support does not replace legal advice on the merits and does not include training in third-party software.

7. Personal data and privilege

By accepting these terms the User confirms having read the Privacy Policy. Personal data and information covered by attorney–client privilege are processed to perform the Mandate and to operate the cabinet.

The User is responsible for keeping the password. The Bureau is not liable for access obtained because the password was given to a third person.

8. Liability

The Cabinet and the Application are provided “as is” within the Bureau’s reasonable efforts. The Bureau does not guarantee the outcome of a case. Defects are remedied in a period that cannot be fixed in advance where they depend on courts, mail, the network or the User’s devices.

The Bureau does not control content the User uploads and is not liable for loss from inability to use the cabinet except where the law so provides.

9. Force majeure

The parties are released for the duration of force majeure. If it lasts more than 60 days, either party may stop using the cabinet by giving at least 15 days’ written notice, without prejudice to Mandate duties that the law does not allow to terminate by such notice.

10. Change and termination

The Bureau may change these terms by publishing a new version on this page. Material changes affecting personal data are communicated as required by the Privacy Policy and by law.

When access ends, the Bureau will, on written request, deliver the client’s materials in an agreed format within a reasonable time, after which working copies are destroyed except for mandatory legal retention.

Disputes are governed by the law of the Russian Federation.

11. Contacts
