By using our Services and browsing the Ture Website you agree to comply with and be bound by the following Terms of Use. If you do not agree to and accept these Terms of Use, you should not use or browse the Ture Website.
Ture is an online marketplace for Legal Providers. We provide an online venue to introduce legal service providers to the New Zealand public (our Members) and to allow Legal Providers to advertise Legal Services within the Website.
Ture does not participate in the provision of Legal Services advertised on the Website or any subsequent transactions between a Member and Legal Providers that are introduced via the Website. We do not provide any services listed on our Website and do not offer them for sale, nor do we act as an agent for either party. We merely provide a venue to advertise and connect the parties together through our Quote system.
While Ture does not pre-screen all Members, Legal Providers, or monitor our entire Website, if we become aware of any misuse of our Services, we can take appropriate action. This could be by issuing a warning, removing content, disabling an account, banning a Member and/or Legal Provider, or contacting the relevant authority.
Examples of this may be where a Quote does not comply with New Zealand law or infringes intellectual property rights or is misleading or offensive. We may also limit activities on our Website based on Legal Providers off-Website conduct, such as criminal convictions, insolvency, or any other conduct that puts our community or systems at risk.
You agree that we may disclose your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy that can be accessed at any time in the footer of the Website. This will include your name and contact details as well as any transactional records, Website interactions or other relevant information, to the relevant authorities, parties and/or intellectual property rights holders.
Legal Providers are responsible for preparing the Quote details and following up when a Member accepts a Quote. We do not get involved in any communications between you and Members outside of the Services and we do not participate in any part of any legal service transactions between a Member and a Legal Provider.
Member details are hosted by us in good faith but are entered by Members without verification by us. You are responsible for making your own enquiries as to Member identity that are connected through the Service in accordance with the Anti Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 or any other such applicable legislation.
We provide no guarantee, and accept no responsibility, for the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by Members or Legal Providers. You are responsible for:
To enable you to use and enjoy our Services, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use our Website and Services in accordance with our Terms of Use.
You may not create derivative works, adapt, reproduce, copy, store, distribute and/or publish from any part of the Website and/or commercialise and/or on-sell any information obtained from the Website and/or our Services, without our prior written permission.
Ture retains its entire intellectual property rights including the software and source code used to provide the Website and Services.
The Services and all content on our Website including but not limited to design, copy, search results, images, graphics, structure, layouts and the underlying software code are protected by copyright and trademarks and are subject to the intellectual property rights of Zig Limited and its licensors. Our logos, together with our trademarks, may not be copied or reproduced without our prior written consent. All rights are reserved, except for the limited licensed rights expressly granted in these Terms of Use and any other terms on our Website.
Fees will only be charged as outlined in the Pricing Schedule that can be accessed at any time from the Lawyer Login page on the Website.
Our current fees are explained in the Pricing Schedule from the Lawyer Login page on the Website. You will be able to review any fees before you choose to register as a Legal Provider. You agree to our Global Terms when you register. Fees must be paid when they are due. By using our Services, you agree to pay our fees in the manner and timeframe outlined in these Terms of Use, the Fee Schedule and as the Website intends and requires.
The Fee Schedule is updated from time to time. We will advise you of any changes via the email address you provide on your account.
The Website requires Legal Providers to pay fees for connections that are charged to their pre-loaded credit card when a Member selects to be connected to that Legal Provider via the Website, which can occur multiple times. This may be by the Member selecting Quotes for different pieces of legal work and/or other listed fees updated from time to time (see the Fee Schedule for pricing).
For example, where a Member has accepted a Quote from a Legal Provider listed on the site, we provide the Legal Provider with Member details by email notification. The credit card pre-loaded by you at the time of account set up (required to activate Quotes live) will then be charged the connection fee listed on the Fee Schedule.
Another example is where a Member who has already accepted a Quote from a Legal Provider chooses to accept another Quote listed on the site from the same Legal Provider, then, a connection fee will be charged for the new connection.
As noted at 1 above, Ture is an online advertising and connecting lead service for Legal Providers. This means that connecting fees are non-refundable once the connection is made regardless of whether or not you or the Member have been in contact after we have provided you with each other’s details of the accepted Quote or, whether a legal service transaction is progressed and/or completed. Regardless of any other clause in these Terms of Use, once we have provided you with Member details you are responsible for contacting the Member, completing the transaction and delivering the Services you advertise in the Quote. You also have the opportunity to turn the connection into your loyal client but We are not responsible for that.
We may change our fees. Our website will be updated when any fee change is made and is effective from such time. If we introduce a new Service, the fees for that Service are effective at the time the new Service is launched. The Pricing Schedule is available to check our current fees at any time from the Lawyer Login page on the Website.
Our fees are exclusive of GST; this means GST will be charged on top of our Fees.
Invoices will be issued at the time of the transaction and will be sent to the email address you have provided in your account settings.
Where a pre-loaded credit card payment is declined for any reason, an additional fee will be invoiced (per the Pricing Schedule – Overdue Payment Fee) to the Legal Provider for additional administration costs and the account will be suspended until the payment is made. If the credit card payment is declined the website will try again 24 hours later. In total it will attempt to recieve payment 3 times over 3 days.
Where a payment is outstanding for more than 30 days the Legal Provider may be removed and banned from the site at our sole discretion. This kind of event is a breach of these Terms of Use and is not how the Fees are intended or required to be paid as a standard matter of course by the Website. In such an event, we reserve the right to remove and/or ban the Legal Provider from our Website and Services and take any legal action available to us at any time, regardless of anything else stated in these Terms of Use.
We strive to improve our Website and Services. Improvements may involve changing features and the like or, we may replace, suspend, or cease any Service altogether. We may also add new Services. We will notify you, usually by email, of any scheduled change to Services.

We will not be involved in any Star Rating assessment that a Member gives to any Legal Provider. You agree not to contact us if you do not agree with a Star Rating that a Member has given you. The nature of feedback is that it is subjective and provided it is genuine to the Member we will not interfere with their honest opinion.

However, if you have a dispute with our Service, then let us talk and try to resolve it informally.

If this is the case, then, in the first instance, you agree to genuinely engage in Mediation in good faith and at the shared cost of the parties before any further legal action is taken. This does not include disputes with outstanding Fees.

Our Website instructions govern how and what Legal Providers can Quote and how our Members can use Ture. You agree to follow the how-to instructions of the Website.
A Quote is a legally binding offer. When a Legal Provider lists a Quote on Ture, they should do so with the intention of selling their Services as advertised through the Website for the price advertised. A Legal Provider’s Quote to a Member can list what is and what is not included in the price. The intention is to be transparent with our Members so that they may feel confident about what they are getting upfront and at what cost. Legal Providers can also list a per hour rate for any work not included in the Quote relating to the Legal Services in the Quote.
Legal Providers must provide Quotes to our Members in New Zealand dollars and include GST in the price.
Star Rating is our Feedback function that allows Members to rate their experience with Legal Providers on the Website. Feedback is important to us and we hope it is important to you too. The feedback our Members provide to Legal Providers through Star Rating is valuable information for other Members and Legal Providers to consider.
In the main, we will not be involved in any Star Rating assessment that a Member gives to any Legal Provider. The nature of feedback is that it is subjective and provided it is genuine to the Member we will not interfere with their honest opinion.
In the rare instance that we change or remove Member feedback about a Legal Provider, it would be at our absolute discretion and would require compelling evidence. Any decision regarding a Star Rating is at our full and final discretion.
Any feedback should relate to the specific transaction and not any other transaction. Legal Providers work hard to earn great feedback and Members rely on the feedback. You agree to provide an honest rating to a Legal Provider and not use the rating system to do anything dishonest or unfair.
As a Member, you agree to try to resolve any disputes you have with Legal Providers directly with them and not to include us. Please remember that we are not a party to any transaction between you and a Legal Provider. Our obligation ends when we have connected a Member with a Legal Provider, selected through our Website.
We will not provide any additional information about a Member or Legal Provider to another party without their express consent or unless we are required by New Zealand law.
The intention of Ture’s free Services to our Members is to connect you with Legal Providers and to provide free information about the law. IIf you have a dispute with our Services, then let us talk and try to resolve it informally. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, either party can look to resolve a dispute or seek any remedy available through any legal method available. If this is the case, then, in the first instance, you agree to genuinely engage in Mediation in good faith and at the shared cost of the parties before any further legal action is taken.
We will use the contact details you have provided to us to contact you about a dispute.
