About LawDepot
LawDepot is an online legal document service operated by Sequiter Inc., which is based in Alberta, Canada, with offices in the United States and the United Kingdom. Its own history dates the idea to 2001. The UK site, lawdepot.co.uk, offers business, property and personal documents built from guided questionnaires.
For websites there are two relevant documents: Website Terms and Conditions and a Website Privacy Policy. The terms cover intellectual property, account responsibilities, third party links, indemnity and governing law. The privacy policy asks about your site type, what data you collect automatically and directly, sharing, retention, security, user rights, children's data and Do Not Track, and it includes a cookie section.

Things to know

- Free trial: The trial gives access to all documents for one week and then renews at £33 per month. You can cancel online at any time.
- Governing law: The website terms leave the governing jurisdiction for you to fill in, so check it reflects where your business is based.
