1. Not a Law Firm; Not Legal Advice
Diwalex is an AI-powered research assistant. It is not a law firm, a legal services provider, or a legal information service operated by licensed attorneys. The content generated by Diwalex — including answers, summaries, citations, and any other output — does not constitute legal advice, legal representation, or the practice of law under any Philippine or other jurisdiction's statute or regulation.
You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of anything you read or receive from Diwalex without first seeking independent advice from a licensed Philippine attorney who is qualified to advise on your specific situation.
2. No Attorney–Client or Fiduciary Relationship
No attorney–client relationship, solicitor–client relationship, or any other professional or fiduciary relationship is created between you and Diwalex, its operators, its developers, or any person associated with Diwalex by your use of this website or the application. Communications through Diwalex are not privileged and should not be treated as confidential legal communications.
3. Accuracy and Completeness of Answers
AI-generated answers are best-effort outputs that may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. The corpus of Philippine legal materials searched by Diwalex is curated and may not include the most recent legislative amendments, executive orders, or Supreme Court decisions. Philippine law evolves constantly through legislation, regulation, and jurisprudence; an answer that was accurate at the time the corpus was last updated may no longer reflect current law.
Always verify information against primary legal sources — the Official Gazette, the Supreme Court eLibrary, the Official Journals of relevant agencies, or the original text of statutes and decisions — before relying on any output from Diwalex. For matters with legal consequences, consult a licensed Philippine attorney.
4. Citations Are Research Aids, Not Warranties
Diwalex provides citations and references to assist you in locating primary legal sources. These citations are research pointers generated by an AI system and should be independently verified. Diwalex does not warrant that:
- Every cited statute, decision, or rule says precisely what the answer implies;
- All applicable sources have been identified and cited;
- The cited materials are the most current, authoritative, or binding version.
Retrieve and read the cited source directly before relying on it. If a citation cannot be verified, treat the underlying answer with additional caution.
5. Confidence Indicators Are Model Signals, Not Legal Certainty
Diwalex displays confidence indicators — Grounded, Inferred, and Speculative — alongside AI-generated answers. These labels reflect the AI model's internal assessment of how well the answer is supported by the retrieved source material. They are product signals designed to help you calibrate your reliance on an answer; they are not legal opinions and do not constitute a warranty, certification, or guarantee of accuracy.
- Grounded — the answer is directly supported by retrieved legal sources.
- Inferred — the answer involves reasoning across sources; moderate reliance risk.
- Speculative — the answer has limited or no direct source support; verify carefully.
Even a "Grounded" answer should be verified against the cited primary source before being used in any legal matter.
6. User-Uploaded Materials
You may upload your own reference documents (DOCX and PDF) to supplement the Diwalex corpus. You bear sole responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, and provenance of materials you upload. Answers that draw on your uploaded documents depend entirely on the quality and currency of those materials. Diwalex does not verify the authenticity or legal validity of user-uploaded content, and outputs that rely on such content inherit all limitations of the underlying documents.
Uploading a document does not create a confidential or privileged relationship with Diwalex. Do not upload documents that you are not authorised to share or that are subject to confidentiality obligations you cannot waive.
