Technical Assistant's Technical Responsibility Term — Court Expert Examinations

Version 2026-11-09-v1

1. Purpose

1.1. This Term governs the use of LawAgent's Court Expert Examinations module by the professional acting as a technical assistant appointed by one of the parties ("Technical Assistant").

1.2. Anyone who also acts as a court-appointed expert accepts, for that role, the Expert's Technical Responsibility Term. Each term applies only to the role it refers to.

1.3. This Term is part of the LawAgent Terms of Service and does not replace the Lawyer's Professional Responsibility Term, which remains required for any act reserved to the legal profession.

2. Nature of the tool

2.1. LawAgent organizes the case file, records questions, diligences, deadlines and versions, and may propose supporting text. LawAgent does not perform examinations, inspections or conclusive expert calculations, nor does it issue technical opinions.

2.2. All content proposed by the tool is a working draft. The technical conclusion belongs exclusively to the Technical Assistant who signs the technical opinion.

2.3. The text proposed by the tool and the conversation with the artificial intelligence use the material in the case file and do not consult external research sources.

3. Technical qualification

3.1. Use of the technical functions requires a registered qualification (enrollment with a professional council, or proof of training and experience) that has been checked by the organization's administrator or by the LawAgent team, limited to the authorized sub-areas and to the recorded validity. No one checks their own qualification.

3.2. Technical qualification does not confer legal capacity, and enrollment with the Brazilian Bar (OAB) does not confer technical qualification.

3.3. The Technical Assistant's technical functions are available only after this Term is accepted. When LawAgent publishes a version that requires renewed acceptance, it will state the deadline for accepting it: until that date, the previously accepted version remains valid; after it, the Technical Assistant's technical functions are suspended until the new version is accepted. The deadline may coincide with publication, in which case the suspension is immediate.

4. Declarations of the Technical Assistant

By accepting this Term, the Technical Assistant declares that:

a) the qualification information is true, belongs to them and is current;

b) they will immediately inform the organization's administrator of any suspension, cancellation or restriction of their professional registration;

c) they act as a technical assistant trusted by the party that appointed them, not subject to impediment or grounds for bias (art. 466, § 1, of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure), and will present their technical opinion within the procedural deadlines, including the one in art. 477, § 1;

d) they will not record as performed or attended any examination, inspection or diligence they did not perform or attend;

e) their account is personal and non-transferable, and they will not allow anyone else to use the technical functions on their behalf.

5. Review and responsibility

5.1. The Technical Assistant reads and fully reviews each version before approving it. Approval applies to that exact version and its attachments; any change requires a new review.

5.2. The technical opinion is authored by, and is the responsibility of, the Technical Assistant who signs it.

5.3. The technical opinion is signed by the Technical Assistant; it is filed by them or by the party's lawyer. Both take place outside LawAgent, and whoever signs or files records the corresponding evidence in the system.

6. Fees

6.1. The Technical Assistant's remuneration is agreed between them and the party that appointed them, which is responsible for advancing it (art. 95 of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure; in the Labor Courts, Precedent 341 of the Superior Labor Court). LawAgent is not a party to that agreement.

6.2. LawAgent may record the Technical Assistant's fees in the examination's financial control, only to organize the case file; the record does not replace the contract or the proof of payment.

6.3. LawAgent does not charge, receive, withhold, intermediate or pass on technical assistant fees and does not share in them. Use of LawAgent is paid for under the Terms of Service and the Pricing and Credits Policy, regardless of the amount of the fees or the outcome of the examination.

7. Personal data and confidentiality

7.1. The case file may contain sensitive personal data (art. 11 of Law No. 13,709/2018). The Technical Assistant processes such data only for the appointment, confirms the sensitive categories detected and does not take them outside the case file beyond what is necessary.

7.2. The Technical Assistant accesses only the files of the examinations in which they participate.

7.3. The data of each examination follows the retention and deletion policy described in the LawAgent manual: the period runs from the closing of the examination, deletion is notified in advance to the participants, and a preservation obligation suspends it.

8. Records

8.1. Acceptance, the version of this Term, qualifications, reviews and the signing and filing milestones are recorded in an immutable trail.

8.2. These records serve the organization's internal audit, proof of technical review and compliance with requests from competent authorities.

9. Term

9.1. This Term is effective upon acceptance and remains valid for as long as the Technical Assistant uses the technical functions of the Court Expert Examinations module, subject to clause 10.

10. Versions, governing law and venue

10.1. LawAgent may publish new versions of this Term.

10.2. When the change affects its content, the Technical Assistant will be asked to accept the new version, within the period described in clause 3.3, in order to keep using the technical functions.

10.3. The governing law and venue set out in the LawAgent Terms of Service apply to this Term.
