3.1 Disclaimer of Warranties

While we strive to provide high-quality legal services, we make no warranties or guarantees about specific outcomes. Legal matters involve uncertainties, and results depend on many factors beyond our control including court decisions, opposing parties' actions, and applicable law.

3.2 Website Content Disclaimer

Our website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy but do not warrant that website content is error-free, complete, or current. Website content is for general information only and does not constitute legal advice.

3.3 Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation. Subject to this, our total liability to you for any claim arising from our services is limited to the fees you have paid us for the specific matter giving rise to the claim, or as otherwise specified in our engagement letter.

3.4 Consequential Damages

We will not be liable for any indirect, consequential, or special damages including loss of profits, business opportunities, or reputation, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

We are not liable for any failure to perform our obligations due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, government actions, pandemics, strikes, or failures of third-party service providers.

5.1 Fee Arrangements

Our fees and payment terms will be set out in our engagement letter. All fees are subject to VAT where applicable. We reserve the right to review and adjust our fees annually or as circumstances change, though changes will not affect existing engagements without your agreement.

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Any invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

7.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or our right to enforce it in the future. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative.
