Terms of Use
Last updated: 1 November 2026
These terms govern your use of ocoai.in (“ocoai”), a study and practice tool for Philippine law. By using ocoai, with or without an account, you agree to them.
1. Not legal advice
ocoai is a research, study and drafting aid. It does not give legal advice, does not create a lawyer–client relationship, and is not a substitute for a member of the Philippine Bar exercising independent professional judgment. Always check answers, citations, computed deadlines and drafts against the official text and the facts of your matter before you rely on them or file anything.
2. Sources and accuracy
ocoai answers from the official texts it holds (for example the 1987 Constitution, the Civil Code, the Revised Penal Code, the 2019 Amendments to the Rules of Civil Procedure and the 2019 Revised Rules on Evidence). Some texts may be older versions or may not reflect later amendments; ocoai marks these where it knows. ocoai does not invent case names or G.R. numbers and removes citations it cannot verify, but it can still make mistakes.
3. Bar review
ocoai is not affiliated with the Supreme Court of the Philippines or the Office of the Bar Confidant. Scores, pass-probability estimates and marking are study guides only and do not predict official results.
4. Deadlines and dockets
Deadline calculations apply the general rules (including Section 1, Rule 22 of the Rules of Court on weekends and holidays) to the dates you enter. Holiday lists may change by proclamation and courts may suspend work. You remain responsible for every filing date. ocoai does not read court systems or scrape court websites.
5. Your account and content
Keep your login private. You own what you write and upload; you give us permission to store and process it only to provide the service. Do not upload content you have no right to use, and do not use ocoai to harass anyone, to break the law, or to attempt to overload or reverse-engineer the service.
6. Plans and payment
Prices are shown in Philippine pesos (PHP). Paid checkout is not open yet; until it opens, nothing is charged. When it opens, the price, renewal terms and any refund rules will be shown before you pay.
7. Availability
We work to keep ocoai available but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Features and daily limits may change.
8. Liability
To the extent allowed by Philippine law, ocoai is provided “as is” and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss caused by relying on an output without checking it.
9. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information under the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines.
