These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Practice Suite, operated by Profession Sector Holdings (ABN 45835398204) trading as The Profession ("we", "us", "our"), accessible at practice.theprofession.au.
By creating an account, subscribing to Practice Suite, or using any part of the platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Practice Suite.
These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy, available at practice.theprofession.au/privacy.
1. About Practice Suite
Practice Suite is a case preparation and legal analytical tool designed for use by Australian legal practitioners. It provides tools for matter preparation, case mapping, draft orders, trial preparation, and submissions drafting.
Practice Suite does not provide legal advice. The outputs generated by Practice Suite — including AI-assisted drafts, suggested propositions, comparative analyses, and evaluation summaries — are tools to assist your professional judgment. They do not constitute legal advice and must not be relied on as such. You are responsible for all professional decisions made in connection with your use of Practice Suite.
2. Eligibility and acceptable use
Practice Suite is intended for use by:
— Australian legal practitioners who are admitted to practice and hold a current practising certificate; or
— employees or contractors of an Australian legal practice, acting under the supervision of an admitted practitioner.
By subscribing to Practice Suite, you represent and warrant that you fall within one of the above categories.
You must not use Practice Suite:
— for any unlawful purpose or in contravention of any applicable law or regulation;
— in breach of your professional obligations, including obligations of confidentiality, duties to the court, and any implied undertakings attaching to documents produced in court proceedings;
— to upload or process information you are not authorised to handle in the manner contemplated by the platform;
— to attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the platform or its infrastructure;
— to transmit any malicious code, spam, or harmful content;
— for any purpose other than genuine legal practice preparation.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of Practice Suite — including the upload of documents, the processing of client information, and the use of AI-assisted features — complies with your professional obligations under the Legal Profession Uniform Law, applicable court rules, and any other applicable regulatory framework.
3. Subscriptions and billing
Practice Suite is offered on a subscription basis. Two subscription tiers are available: Practice Suite Core and Practice Suite Full Suite. Current pricing is displayed at practice.theprofession.au/#pricing and is inclusive of GST.
Subscriptions are billed monthly. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date.
Payment is processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge your nominated payment method for the applicable subscription fee on each billing date.
If a payment fails, your subscription may be suspended until the outstanding amount is resolved. We will notify you by email if a payment fails.
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not offer refunds for partial periods.
We reserve the right to change subscription pricing on not less than 30 days written notice by email to your registered address. If you do not wish to continue at the new price, you may cancel your subscription before the new pricing takes effect. Continued use of Practice Suite after the new pricing takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
4. Free trial and promotional codes
We do not currently offer a free trial period. Subscriptions commence on payment of the first billing period.
From time to time we may offer promotional codes providing a discount on subscription fees. Promotional codes are subject to any specific terms communicated at the time of issue, are not transferable, cannot be exchanged for cash, and may be withdrawn at any time.

12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email to your registered address not less than 14 days before the changes take effect. The effective date at the top of these Terms will be updated whenever changes are made.
Your continued use of Practice Suite after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept the updated Terms, you may cancel your subscription before the effective date of the changes.
13. Dispute resolution
If a dispute arises between you and us in connection with these Terms or your use of Practice Suite, the party raising the dispute must first give written notice to the other party identifying the dispute in reasonable detail.
Following receipt of that notice, the parties must attempt to resolve the dispute by good faith negotiation for a period of not less than 14 days. If the dispute cannot be resolved by negotiation, either party may refer the dispute to mediation administered by the Resolution Institute or a mediator agreed between the parties before commencing any court proceedings.
Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or declaratory relief from a court where necessary to protect that party's rights.
14. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia. Each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and any courts of appeal from those courts for the resolution of any dispute arising under or in connection with these Terms.
