Last updated: April 2026

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using LegalHub (legalhub.au), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use the service. These terms form a binding agreement between you and the operator of LegalHub.

2. Description of service

LegalHub provides:

• Legal information search — a tool that searches publicly available Australian court judgments and presents results relevant to your query.
• Community experience sharing — a platform where registered users may share their personal experiences with legal processes and learn from the experiences of others.

The service is operated by a sole trader in Queensland, Australia.

3. Not legal advice

LegalHub does not provide legal advice. All information presented on this site, including search results, case summaries, and community contributions, is general information only. It is not tailored to your individual circumstances.

No solicitor-client or adviser-client relationship is created between you and LegalHub, its operator, or any contributor. Community experiences represent personal opinions and are not verified legal guidance.

You must seek independent legal advice from a qualified legal practitioner before making any decisions or taking any action based on information obtained through this service.

• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account. Each person may hold only one account.

8. Content moderation

LegalHub reserves the right to review, edit, quarantine, or remove any user-generated content at its sole discretion, including content that:

• Violates these terms or applicable law.
• Is flagged by other users or automated moderation systems.

We will review all reports within 7 days. Content identified as subject to a suppression order or as potentially defamatory will be removed or quarantined pending resolution, in accordance with the Defamation Act 2005 (Qld) s 31A.

9. Credit system

LegalHub operates a credit system to reward community contributions. Credits are subject to the following conditions:

• Credits have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for money.
• Credits are non-transferable between accounts.
• Credits may be used only within the LegalHub platform for the purposes designated by the service.
• LegalHub reserves the right to modify the credit system, including credit values and earning mechanisms, with reasonable notice. Changes apply prospectively and do not affect credits already earned.
• Credits may be forfeited if your account is terminated for breach of these terms.

10. Limitation of liability

Australian Consumer Law notice: Certain consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) cannot be excluded.

Where liability cannot be excluded, the total liability of LegalHub is limited to the amount paid by you (if any) for the service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting support@legalhub.au. Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases immediately. Content you have contributed may remain on the platform under the licence granted in Section 5, unless you request its removal.

13. Changes to terms

We may modify these Terms of Use from time to time. Changes will be published on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will provide at least 14 days' notice via the website and, where you have registered an account, by email. Your continued use of the service after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, it will be severed from these terms.

16. Entire agreement
