Terms of Service
Last updated: September 16, 2026
1. Who we are
Klarlaw (klarlaw.de) is operated by Oscar Rojas, Alt-Mariendorf 50, 12107 Berlin, Germany (see the Imprint). Klarlaw is not a law firm and provides no legal advice or legal services within the meaning of the German Legal Services Act (RDG). These terms govern the relationship between Klarlaw and people seeking a lawyer ("you").
2. What Klarlaw does
We forward your verified request to independent, admitted German lawyers (Rechtsanwälte) who work in English. If a lawyer takes your case, they contact you for a first consultation of typically 15–30 minutes, which is free of charge for you. We use automated tools (including AI) to summarize and organize requests for the lawyers — see the Privacy Policy.
We cannot guarantee that a lawyer takes your case or that any particular outcome is achieved. If no lawyer reacts within roughly 24 hours, we tell you and offer to try again. Information on this website is general information, not legal advice; deadlines mentioned are illustrative.
2a. Emails we send you
While we're working on your request we email you about its progress. We may email you once to ask how the service went. You can object at any time, at no cost — just reply or use the link in the email.
Anything beyond that — tips on other legal problems, or offers from our partners — we only send if you opt in, and you can turn it off again from the platform or from any such email.
3. What it costs
Klarlaw is free of charge for people seeking a lawyer, including the first consultation. Any legal work beyond the first consultation is agreed directly between you and the lawyer, at the lawyer's own rates, quoted to you before paid work begins. Klarlaw is not a party to that engagement and receives no share of the lawyer's fees.
Klarlaw finances itself on the lawyer side: participating lawyers may pay flat platform fees and fees for optional add-on services. These fees are independent of individual cases, are never a share of legal fees, and never affect what you pay or which lawyer is right for your case.
4. Your relationship with the lawyer
The mandate, the legal advice, and attorney-client privilege exist exclusively between you and the lawyer. The lawyers are independent professionals, not employees or agents of Klarlaw. We are not responsible for the content, quality, or outcome of their legal services.
5. Your obligations
Use Klarlaw only for your own genuine legal matter, provide accurate contact information, and don't submit unlawful, abusive, or third-party content. We may decline or remove requests that violate these terms or that we cannot responsibly forward.
6. Liability
Klarlaw is liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body, or health. For slight negligence we are liable only for breaches of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfilment makes proper performance possible in the first place and on whose fulfilment you may regularly rely), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this kind of free service. Liability under mandatory statutory provisions remains unaffected.
7. Availability
We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation of a free service. Deadlines in your legal matter remain your responsibility until a lawyer has taken your case.
8. Ending things, and your data
You can stop using Klarlaw at any time and request deletion of your data as described in the Privacy Policy.
9. Final provisions
German law applies; if you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence remain unaffected. We are not willing or obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We may update these terms for the future; the current version is always published here.
