1. Who we are. Ask Theodorous is provided by Christodoulos Ltd, trading as Theodorous, a company registered in England and Wales (12589800), authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA 809508). Registered office: Barbon Buildings, 14 Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4QH. These terms apply to Ask Theodorous at theodorous.uk/ask and ask.theodorous.uk, including the Library, voice input and the installed app. By using it you agree to them; if you do not agree, do not use it.
2. What it is. Ask Theodorous is an automated information tool. It uses artificial intelligence to produce general information about the criminal law of England and Wales from our guides, legislation and official guidance. Answers are produced by software, not written or checked by a solicitor at the time you ask.
3. Not legal advice. Answers are general information only. They are not legal advice, do not take account of your circumstances, and must not be relied on as a substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer. Do not make any decision about a police interview, a plea, a court case or any other legal matter based on an answer.
4. No solicitor and client relationship. Using Ask Theodorous does not make you a client of Theodorous and does not create a solicitor and client relationship or any duty of care to you. We only act for you once we have agreed to do so and confirmed our terms of business in writing.
5. Accuracy. We work to keep the sources current, but answers may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date or wrong for your situation, and the law changes. Citations show where information comes from; check the source and take advice. We do not warrant that answers are accurate, complete or current, or that the service will be available or free of errors.
6. Emergencies and custody. Ask Theodorous is not an emergency service. If anyone is in danger, call 999. If you or someone you know is under arrest or due to be interviewed, ask for a solicitor or call Theodorous on 0843 636 7687 rather than relying on an answer.
7. What you must not type. Do not enter names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, case references or details of what happened in your own or anyone else's case. Some personal details are blocked automatically. Anything you type is not confidential or privileged communication with a solicitor.
8. Acceptable use. You must not use Ask Theodorous: to plan, commit or conceal a crime or to interfere with evidence or witnesses; to harass, threaten or defame anyone; to send automated or bulk requests, scrape it, overload it, or try to bypass its safeguards or obtain its instructions; or to copy its answers or Library into another product or AI system. We may block, limit or withdraw access at any time without notice.
9. Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Theodorous accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, Ask Theodorous or any answer, including loss arising from decisions made in reliance on it. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
10. Intellectual property. The Library, answers, design and software belong to Theodorous or its licensors. You may read and share answers for personal, non-commercial purposes with a link back. Crown copyright material is reproduced under the Open Government Licence.
11. Privacy. How we handle data from Ask Theodorous is explained in our privacy notice.
12. Changes. We may change or withdraw Ask Theodorous or these terms at any time. The version on this page when you use the service applies.
13. Law. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
14. Contact and complaints. [email protected] or 0843 636 7687. Our complaints procedure applies to clients of the firm.
