Legal Disclaimer

1. General information, not legal or tax advice

Content published on the Platform — including articles, guides, checklists, country and tax overviews, fee estimates, timelines, and document templates — is general information prepared for a broad audience. It does not take account of your individual circumstances and does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, banking, or investment advice, and it should not be relied upon as such.

Professional advice is provided only within a confirmed Engagement and in relation to the specific matter described in it. No lawyer-client or advisor-client relationship is created by browsing the Platform, using its automated tools, downloading materials, or sending an enquiry, and no duty of care arises from general content alone.

2. Automated outputs are preliminary

Recommendations, name-screening results, tax-status indications, risk assessments, generated Power of Attorney drafts, and similar automated outputs are produced by rules-based software to help structure your matter. They are preliminary working materials: they may be incomplete or inapplicable to your facts and are subject to review by an authorised Trustlex professional before any reliance is placed on them. They do not amount to a decision made solely by automated means.

A generated Power of Attorney or corporate document is a draft until it has been reviewed, adapted where necessary, signed, notarised, and — where required — apostilled or legalised, translated, and accepted by the receiving Authority.

3. Authority and third-party decisions

Company registration, company-name approval, tax-status grants (including Small Business, Virtual Zone, and International Company status), VAT treatment, bank and payment-provider onboarding, licences, and processing times are determined solely by the competent Georgian Authorities, banks, and other third parties under their own rules and discretion. Trustlex prepares and presents matters professionally but does not control and cannot guarantee any such decision or its timing.

4. Law and practice change; figures are indicative

Georgian legislation, Revenue Service and Public Registry practice, notarial and apostille requirements, official fees, and bank onboarding policies change from time to time, and published content may not reflect the position at the moment you read it. Figures such as tax rates, thresholds, and timelines are indicative of current general practice and are not guarantees. Before acting, confirm the current position within an Engagement with us or with a qualified Georgian lawyer, tax advisor, or the competent Authority.

5. No forward-looking assurance

Nothing on the Platform is a promise or projection of any particular outcome, saving, approval, or timeline. Any examples, case illustrations, or sample figures are for illustration only and do not represent what will happen in your matter.

6. Foreign law

The Platform addresses Georgian procedures only. How a Georgian company, its income, or its ownership is treated in your country of residence or citizenship — including tax residency, controlled-foreign-company rules, permanent-establishment questions, and reporting obligations — is a matter of foreign law on which Trustlex does not advise. Obtain advice from advisors qualified in the relevant jurisdiction.

7. Third-party content and services

Where the Platform references or links to third-party services (such as messaging apps, banks, or government portals), Trustlex does not control and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, or practices, and inclusion of a link is not an endorsement.

8. Intellectual property

Platform content, templates, and know-how are owned by Trustlex or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property law. They are made available for your own matter and may not be copied, resold, republished, or systematically extracted except as permitted in the Terms of Service.

9. Liability and precedence

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Trustlex accepts no liability for loss arising from reliance on general Platform content or preliminary automated outputs outside a confirmed Engagement. Liability within an Engagement is governed by the Terms of Service. If this Disclaimer conflicts with the Terms of Service or written engagement terms, the engagement terms prevail, followed by the Terms of Service, then this Disclaimer.

This Disclaimer is reviewed periodically with Georgian-qualified counsel and may be updated as services, legislation, and Authority practice evolve. The English text is the governing version; translations are provided for convenience only.
