The Matching Services

Allegro operates the Website which has been established to facilitate introductions between Customers and Legal Consultants for the provision of a wide range of legal services.

Allegro offers you the right to use a platform that enables Members to publish, offer, search for, and engage Services. Customers will be able to generate legal request summaries using the Website’s AI chatbot and search the Website to find potential Legal Consultants. The Website algorithms will help identify Legal Consultants who may be able to meet the Customer's requirements.

To use the Matching Services, you will be required to accept this Agreement when first using the Website, and an agreement will be formed between you and us for the provision of the Matching Services at that point. You will need to enter into a Customer Contract with any Customers who wish to instruct you to provide you with Services. See below for more information.

You may review the information you receive from the Customers, and such Customers may decide whether to engage you to provide the Services that the Customer requires. It will be your sole responsibility to engage with the Customer to establish whether you can meet their requirements prior to you entering into a Customer Contract.

If a Customer does engage you to provide the Services, they will become a customer of you and you will enter into a Customer Contract with them. To clarify, the Services are provided to the Customer by you, and not by Allegro. Allegro is not a party to any Customer Contract and under no circumstances will any such contract create an employment or any other service relationship between Allegro and any Legal Consultant. Allegro is not acting as an agent for any Member.

Allegro does not perform the Services and does not employ individuals to perform the Services. By connecting Customers and Legal Consultants seeking to procure or provide the Services, Allegro operates as an online marketplace that connects Customers with Legal Consultants who wish to provide the Services. Such Services will be supplied pursuant to a Customer Contract which will be agreed and entered into between a Customer and a Legal Consultant without any involvement of Allegro.

While we work hard to ensure our Members have great experiences using Allegro, we do not and cannot control the conduct or performance of Members and do not guarantee: (i) the existence, quality, safety, suitability, or legality of any Member Content or Services; or (ii) the truth or accuracy of any Member Content provided by Members.

The Matching Services will be provided by Allegro using reasonable care and skill. In the case of Allegro’s performance of the Matching Services, unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement, all warranties, conditions and other terms implied by law (whether by statute, common law or otherwise) are excluded from this Agreement.

Allegro does not make any guarantees that you will be successful in being engaged by a Customer for Services, and our role is only to give you the opportunity to engage with potential Customers.

You may be subject to a review process before you can register for and during your use of the Website.

To use the Matching Services you must register for an Account with a username and password. You are responsible for safeguarding and maintaining the confidentiality of your username and password, and agree not to share them with anyone. You are responsible for any use of our Matching Services with your username and password and, if you suspect or become aware of any unauthorised use of your Account or any unauthorised access to your password you must notify it immediately to us. You further agree not to use the Account or log in with the username and password of another Legal Consultant, without that Legal Consultant’s specific consent.

To register for an Account to use the Matching Services, you must complete a profile, which you consent to be shown to Customers. You agree to provide accurate and complete information on your profile and to keep that information current. You agree not to provide any false or misleading information about your identity or location, your business, the beneficial owner(s) of your business, your skills, or the services your business provides. You agree to correct any information that is or becomes false or misleading. We may suspend or terminate the Account, or access to the Matching Services, of anyone who provides false, inaccurate, or incomplete information. You may only create one Account per business that you operate. We may remove any duplicate Accounts that are controlled by you for materially the same Matching Services.

If you create an Account as an employee or agent on behalf of a company, you represent and warrant that you are authorised to enter into binding contracts, on behalf of yourself and the company. More than one person can create an Account as an employee or agent on behalf of the same company.

You agree not to request or allow another person to create an Account for you, your use, or your benefit, except that authorised employees or agents may create an Account on behalf of your business. By granting other Users permissions under your Account you represent that:

the User is authorised to act on your behalf, and
you are fully responsible and liable for what the User does and does not do, including with respect to offering Services to Customers and entering into Customer Contracts and this Agreement.

If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential. You must not disclose it to any third party. We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our reasonable opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement. If you know or suspect that anyone other than you knows your username or password, you must promptly notify us.

If any User granted permissions under your Account violates this Agreement, it may affect your ability to use the Matching Services. When an Account is closed, Allegro may close any related Accounts as well.

If you are in breach of our terms, or misuse the Website in any way, we may suspend or terminate your Account.

The Legal Consultant’s obligations

You will provide Services under your own name or business name, and not under Allegro’s name, using your own tools and supplies to perform your Services.

You represent and warrant that:

you have the unrestricted right to work in the jurisdiction in which you will be performing Services,
if the Services are performed in a jurisdiction that requires you to have a business license or business tax registration, you have the required business license or business tax registration,
you are responsible for identifying and obtaining any required licenses, permits, or registrations before offering Services and undertaking Services,
you have any and all insurance required to operate your business, or that a prudent operator of a business in your industry would have,
you will honour your commitments to Customers made on the Website and in a Customer Contract, including by responding to invitations promptly, performing the Services as agreed with a Customer, and providing timely, high-quality services to Customers, and
you will only offer and provide Services for which you have the necessary skills and expertise, and provide those Services in accordance with all applicable laws.

You warrant to Allegro that the Services that you provide to Customers:

will be performed by you and anyone acting on your behalf with due care and diligence,
will be performed by you and anyone acting on your behalf with integrity and to such high standard of quality as it is reasonable for the Customer to expect in all the circumstances, and
will comply at all times with all laws, guidance and regulations that apply to your provision of the Services to Customers (including those relating to data privacy, applicable regulation of Legal Consultants in your jurisdiction, and health and safety).

You will at all times:

cooperate with Allegro in all matters relating to the Matching Services,
provide, in a timely manner, such information as Allegro may reasonably require, and ensure that it is accurate and complete in all material respects,
comply with this Agreement,
comply with all policies and requirements as specified on the Website, as updated by Allegro from time to time,
comply with any vetting requirements that Allegro may impose on you from time to time, and
ensure that you make it clear to Customers that any Services to be provided are provided to them by you and not by Allegro.

You are free to maintain any clientele outside of the Website without any restrictions from Allegro and are free to offer and provide your services elsewhere, including through competing platforms. Allegro does not set Legal Consultants’ hours or terms of work. You are free to accept or reject Customers and their requests, and you will not be penalised for rejecting Customers or their requests. However, if you enter into a Customer Contract facilitated by the Website, you are expected to fulfil your contractual obligations.

You have to set your own rates for Services performed under a Customer Contract facilitated by the Website. You acknowledge and confirm that you are responsible for exercising your own business judgment in entering into Customer Contracts and that, depending on how you exercise such business judgment, there is a chance for individual profit or loss.

Fees and payment

The Matching Services will be provided to Customers at no cost.

Allegro will charge the Legal Consultant a fee amounting to 20% of the gross fees due from a Customer to you in accordance with a Customer Contract (as such Customer Contract may be amended or replaced from time to time) (the “Fee”) in return for the use of Website and obtaining Customers via the Website.

By way of examples only:

If the Customer Contract is for a one-off fixed fee of £1,000 plus VAT, the Fee due to Allegro will be £200 plus VAT.
If the Customer Contract is for an interim role for 6 months paying £20,000 plus VAT a month, the Fee due to Allegro will be £4,000 plus VAT per month for the 6 month period.

We will invoice you for the applicable Fees as appropriate based on whether the corresponding fees you are to receive from the Customer are one-off or on a monthly basis, and whether they are in advance or in arrears. You will pay us the Fee promptly, and in any event within 5 business days, following payment of the corresponding fees from the Customer. All Fees are exclusive of VAT and payable in pounds sterling.

You will strictly comply with all relevant regulation and law in relation to the Fee.

General provisions

Allegro may make changes to this Agreement from time to time. You should check these terms and conditions whenever you return to our Website to see whether any changes have been made, as these will be binding on you. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of the Agreement, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised terms by your continued use of the Website after the date such revised terms are posted.

We may transfer this Agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under this Agreement to another organisation.

You need our consent to transfer any rights you have under this Agreement to someone else. No assignments are valid without our prior consent, which may be requested via email to ally@allegro.law. Any other attempted transfer or assignment will be null and void.

This Agreement does not grant any rights to anyone else. Its provisions are between you and us and cannot be enforced by any third party.

The parties acknowledge and agree that each of them is an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall render either party (nor any staff of a party) an employee of the other.

To the extent any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, in whole or in part under applicable law, its illegality, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions, which will continue in effect. Each of the paragraphs of this Agreement operates separately.

Even if we delay in enforcing any provision of this Agreement, we can still enforce it later. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.

The courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to determine any dispute arising out of or in connection with them (including in relation to any non-contractual obligations).

For contractual purposes, you agree to this electronic means of communication and you acknowledge that all contracts, notices, information and other communications that we provide to you electronically comply with any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. This condition does not affect your statutory rights.
