1. General Provisions

1.1. LegisNation (legisnation.eu) is a database application monitoring the page of draft legislation published for public consultation on kormany.hu, the page of pending bills on parlament.hu, and the Magyar Közlöny and Hivatalos Értesítő (magyarkozlony.hu).

1.2. The LegisNation program detects when

a) a new draft published for public consultation appears on kormany.hu,

b) a new bill appears among the pending bills on the website of the Hungarian National Assembly, or is removed from that list,

c) the data of a pending bill change,

d) a new non-independent parliamentary document is submitted in connection with a pending bill,

e) the data of an independent parliamentary document change,

f) a new issue of the Magyar Közlöny is published,

g) a new issue of the Hivatalos Értesítő is published,

h) a keyword / phrase specified by the subscriber appears in the text of a newly published draft submitted for public consultation,

i) a keyword / phrase specified by the subscriber appears in the text of a newly published bill on the pending bills page of parlament.hu,

j) a keyword / phrase specified by the subscriber appears in the text of a newly published non-independent parliamentary document on the pending bills page of parlament.hu,

k) a keyword / phrase specified by the subscriber appears in the text of a newly published issue of the Magyar Közlöny,

l) a keyword / phrase specified by the subscriber appears in the text of a newly published issue of the Hivatalos Értesítő.

1.3. LegisNation automatically sends an email notification to its subscribers if it detects a new item or change under point 1.2. In relation to bills, the Magyar Közlöny and the Hivatalos Értesítő, LegisNation also automatically prepares, with the assistance of OpenAI, an AI summary and – on the basis of the company or organisation description written by subscribers and their keywords – an AI assessment that attempts to indicate whether a given legal material is relevant to the subscriber, slightly or partly relevant, or not relevant. The service provider accepts no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of text generated by AI. Reading AI-generated text does not replace a complete and, where necessary, thorough review of the legal material. Subscribers receive the AI summary and AI assessment by email if they have completed the description of their company or organisation.

2. Search and Report Generation

In addition to its automated services, LegisNation also allows manual processing of drafts published for public consultation, bills, the Magyar Közlöny and the Hivatalos Értesítő. In this context, LegisNation provides free-text search in the text of bills and related non-independent parliamentary documents and allows reports to be generated on the basis of keywords and phrases found in the text of drafts published for public consultation, the Magyar Közlöny and the Hivatalos Értesítő. The generated report can be copied as plain text or downloaded in Excel format if the program offers that option.

3. Registration and Subscription

3.1. In the case of a subscription, the LegisNation service is provided to the subscriber by Dr. Tamás Gáll, sole proprietor (registration number: 57866253, tax number: 59820123-1-42, registered office: 1162 Budapest, Attila utca 81/2.; hereinafter: the service provider).

3.2. After entering the data, the user may – before initiating the subscription – review the data provided and may amend them by going back.

3.3. The user may initiate the subscription after reading and accepting these General Terms and Conditions.

3.4. The service provider reviews and checks the data of the initiated subscription (in particular in the company register and the MÁK register) and, if the data are genuine, informs the subscriber by email sent from info [kk] legisnation [pp] eu that the subscription agreement has been concluded and at the same time sends the invoice containing the subscription fee. If the service provider has doubts about the data received (in particular about the identity of the subscriber), it may request the person initiating the subscription to provide a further statement, or it may refrain from concluding the subscription agreement. In that case, the person initiating the subscription may not assert any claim against the service provider.

3.5. The shortest subscription period is 1 year. The subscriber is required to pay the full subscription fee (for at least one year) even if the subscriber does not use or make use of all services.

3.6. As soon as the subscription fee is credited to the service provider's account, the service provider activates the subscription and informs the subscriber by email. The subscription period begins on the following day and expires on the date corresponding to the subscribed duration.

3.7. The service provider is entitled to announce discounts and promotions under which (in particular in connection with a coupon code) it may provide the subscription at a price lower than the price shown on the website. Subscribers may not assert any claim (fee reduction, extension of the subscription period) against the service provider by referring to a lower-priced subscription.

3.8. The service provider is entitled to offer a free trial month during which the subscriber may try LegisNation services free of charge.

3.9. A company / organisation / person is entitled to one free trial month. The service provider reserves the right to monitor the taking-up and use of the free trial month and, without giving reasons, to prohibit, restrict or terminate it; in such cases, the person using the free trial month may not assert any claim against the service provider. Further information concerning the free trial month (including any restrictions) is set out on the subscription page.

4. Use, Operation and Development of the System

4.1. It is for the subscriber to decide how many words are monitored out of the maximum quantity available to the subscriber.

4.2. The subscriber may delete or modify the monitored words at any time and may also modify the notification email addresses. The subscriber may provide only email addresses belonging to the subscriber's own company / organisation and therefore may not set up a notification for a person who is not in an employment relationship, another legal relationship aimed at the performance of work, or an agency relationship with the subscriber. The service provider may request the subscriber to prove such a legal relationship if it cannot be established beyond doubt from the email address set that the address belongs to the subscriber.

4.3. The service provider reserves the right to develop the LegisNation program. The service provider states that it will endeavour to carry out development in a manner that does not affect the service provided. If the service nevertheless becomes unavailable due to development, the service provider will, where possible, inform subscribers in advance; in that case the subscription period will be extended by the number of days of the interruption. The subscriber may not assert any other claim (fee reduction, damages) against the service provider because of the interruption. If the interruption lasts continuously for more than 30 days (regardless of the reason), the subscriber may decide to terminate the agreement, in which case the service provider will refund the part of the subscription fee proportionate to the remaining subscription period, without paying default interest, and the subscriber may not assert any claim against the service provider on any other legal basis.

4.4. The service provider states that it regularly maintains its server and updates it in accordance with the latest security requirements, which may occasionally require restarting the server. Any short interruption of service within a day due to necessary and/or security maintenance on the LegisNation server does not constitute suspension of the service.

4.5. In the personal menu, the subscriber may view the text of the last 50 informational emails sent to the subscriber and their dispatch time for the preceding 15 days. For the purposes of the subscription agreement, dispatch constitutes contractual performance.

4.6. LegisNation provides monitoring of the appearance of new items. Accordingly, in the case of drafts published for public consultation, LegisNation services apply to the drafts on kormany.hu (search, monitoring, report generation); in the case of bills, to pending bills on parlament.hu (search, monitoring); and in the case of the Magyar Közlöny and the Hivatalos Értesítő, at least to issues of the Magyar Közlöny and the Hivatalos Értesítő published during the previous 90 days (search, monitoring, report generation). The service provider is not required to display the titles and other data of legislation published more than 90 days earlier.

4.7. The subscriber must notify the service provider if the subscriber experiences any irregularity or unexpected operation in connection with the LegisNation service.

4.8. In the absence of an individual agreement with the service provider, the subscriber may not resell LegisNation services and may not, even free of charge, provide to a third party the notifications sent to the subscriber in the course of the service.

4.9. For subscribers (e.g. professional chambers) that use LegisNation services (also) in connection with the activities of third parties, the service provider may develop individual service terms and an individual quotation, primarily depending on the number of such third parties. The individual agreement may include the possibility of reselling the service or providing data to third parties free of charge.

5. Operation of LegisNation and Informational Emails

5.1. The subscriber acknowledges that notifications sent by email by the LegisNation system are for information only and that the service provider accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the accuracy of their contents; therefore no claim may be made against the service provider in connection with, or on the basis of, the contents of an email notification. The service provider sends the emails generated in its system but accepts no responsibility as to whether they actually arrive at the subscriber's email address, because the service provider has no control over the settings of the subscriber's mail server and email client. The service provider has made all technical settings in order to prevent the emails it sends from being classified as spam.

5.2. The subscriber acknowledges that the operation of the LegisNation program also depends on the availability of external data sources (kormany.hu, parlament.hu, magyarkozlony.hu). Accordingly, if the program cannot access these websites or the data stored on them (HTML and PDF), or cannot process them with complete success, the LegisNation program will naturally be unable to generate or send the notification emails. Where possible, the service provider subsequently processes documents that were not automatically processed by the program so that notifications can be sent to the subscriber through the LegisNation program.

5.3. The subscriber acknowledges that the monitoring service is based on the automated processing of large quantities of text. The text to be processed (HTML, PDF) may contain character sequences (including line breaks and spaces) that may be inserted into a monitored word or phrase, as a result of which the program does not report a match for the given word or phrase. The text to be processed may also contain character sequences that are readable to the human eye in their original form but, during text recognition (especially in the case of printed texts subsequently read back using OCR), appear as characters that cannot be interpreted by the human eye, in which case the program likewise cannot report a match for the word or phrase concerned. The text to be processed may include text or formulas recorded as images, in respect of which no monitoring service is performed. The text to be processed may contain tables whose text is not processed by the program in the order visible in the table, as a result of which the program may fail to report a match for a given word or phrase.

5.4. The service provider states that, following the service provider's processing of the publication of a new draft submitted for public consultation, a new bill, an issue of the Magyar Közlöny or an issue of the Hivatalos Értesítő, the program will, where possible, send the informational email(s) to the subscriber on the basis of the subscriber's monitoring settings within a few working hours, but no later than within 3 working days. The subscriber acknowledges that documents and materials appearing in a format that may differ from the usual format, or appearing in large quantities and requiring processing, may require manual intervention, in which case the service provider will, where possible, send the informational email(s) through the program within 5 working days.

5.5. If the notification email does not reach the subscriber within the period specified in point 5.4 and none of the cases in point 5.3 applies, the service provider may compensate the subscriber by extending the subscription period free of charge or by otherwise expanding the service. In the case described in this point, the subscriber may not assert any claim against the service provider in addition to the free extension of the subscription period.

6. Data Processing and Data Protection

6.1. Under the subscription, the parties treat the data supplied to each other – including, in addition to personal, company and organisational data, the data provided in the monitoring settings – as confidential and as business secrets, and may disclose such data to a third party only if the other party has given prior written consent or if disclosure is ordered by law or a court decision.

6.2. The parties process personal data supplied to each other and coming to their knowledge in connection with the performance of the subscription agreement in accordance with Hungarian Act CXII of 2011 on Informational Self-Determination and Freedom of Information and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data, on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (GDPR), and on the basis of the subscription agreement. The subscriber is entitled to all rights provided by the GDPR in relation to the processing of the subscriber's data.

6.3. The service provider processes the following data: the data provided by the subscriber at the time of subscription and the data provided in connection with the services under points 1 and 2, for the purpose of enabling the service provider to perform in accordance with the agreement. The service provider may also view the text of emails sent from its system to the subscriber.

6.4. The service provider's data processing covers the following period: in the case of a free trial month, the data provided by the user are stored for 5 years for the purpose of checking eligibility for a free trial month. In the case of a subscription, the data are processed during the subscription period and are then irreversibly deleted.

6.5. The service provider uses Google Analytics to measure website statistics. The service provider uses Google Analytics' own cookies and the cookies required for language settings.

6.6. For the purpose of preparing individual AI assessments tailored to the subscriber's company / organisation, the service provider stores the company or organisation description provided by subscribers in its own database and may view it. The service provider treats company or organisation descriptions as confidential business secrets. For the purpose of preparing the AI assessment, the service provider transfers the company or organisation description and the keywords specified by the subscriber to OpenAI. The company or organisation description may be freely modified at any time. AI assessments based on a newly completed or modified description are not prepared retroactively, but only in relation to legal materials published in the future.

7. Miscellaneous Provisions and Termination of the Agreement

7.1. The parties will endeavour to resolve out of court any disputed issue that may arise in connection with the subscription agreement.

7.2. For legal disputes arising from the subscription agreement, the parties stipulate the exclusive jurisdiction of the Budai Központi Kerületi Bíróság (Central District Court of Buda).

7.3. In connection with performance of the subscription agreement, the parties accept as legally effective statements sent from the email address referred to in point 3.5 and from the email address supplied by the subscriber at registration (or subsequently changed, if applicable).

7.4. The service provider is required to provide the LegisNation service throughout the entire subscription period. An exception applies where the service is affected by a technical circumstance or force majeure event that makes the service unavailable for a period exceeding 30 days. In that event, the service provider refunds to the subscriber the subscription fee proportionate to the remaining subscription period, and the subscriber may not assert any further claim against the subscriber beyond that.

7.6. It is for the subscriber to decide to what extent the subscriber uses the LegisNation service during the subscription period. If the subscriber does not wish to use the service, or wishes to use it only partly, the subscription fee (or the proportionate part thereof) may not be reclaimed in that case either.

7.7. Before the subscription period expires, the subscriber may notify the service provider by email if the subscriber wishes to continue using the LegisNation service after the expiry of the subscription period.

7.8. If the subscriber does not wish to use the LegisNation service after the expiry of the subscription period, the subscriber's agreement terminates on the last day of the subscription period.

7.9. If the service provider intends to discontinue the LegisNation service, it will, where possible, inform subscribers in advance. If the service provider discontinues the LegisNation service, it is required to refund subscribers the subscription fee proportionate to the period from the date of discontinuation to the end of the relevant subscription period, and subscribers may not assert any further claim against the service provider beyond that.

7.10. The service provider is entitled to amend these General Terms and Conditions unilaterally. If an amendment to the General Terms and Conditions contains an expansion of the service, the service provider may inform the subscriber thereof at any time; otherwise subscribers must be informed of the amendment at least 30 days before it enters into force, unless the reason for the amendment is a technical obstacle affecting a particular (part of the) service.

These General Terms and Conditions are effective from 31 August 2026.
