Website Terms & Conditions

This website is operated by Shah & Co Lawyers Pty Ltd trading as Shah & Co Lawyers (ABN 35 697 645 757) (“Shah & Co Lawyers”, “we”, “our” or “us”).

These Website Terms and Conditions apply to your access to and use of this website. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use this website.

The material published on this website is provided for general information only.

It does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a qualified solicitor who has considered your particular circumstances.

The law and legal procedures may change over time. Although we take reasonable care when preparing website content, we do not guarantee that all information is complete, accurate, current or suitable for your circumstances.

You should obtain specific legal advice before acting, or deciding not to act, on information contained on this website.

Accessing this website, reading its content or contacting us through the website does not, by itself, create a solicitor-client relationship between you and Shah & Co Lawyers.

We do not agree to act for you unless and until:

• we have completed any necessary conflict and identification checks;
• we have confirmed that we are able to accept your instructions; and
• the terms of our engagement have been agreed or otherwise confirmed by us.

Until that occurs, you should not assume that we act for you or that we are protecting your interests or any applicable time limit.

Information submitted through the website or an online enquiry form may be reviewed to determine whether we can assist you.

You should not submit highly sensitive, confidential or urgent information through the website before we have confirmed that we are able to act for you.

Although we handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable professional obligations, information sent before a solicitor-client relationship is established may not attract legal professional privilege.

Submitting information to us does not prevent us from acting for another person in the same or a related matter unless we have accepted your instructions or are otherwise professionally prevented from doing so.

If your matter is urgent or subject to a court date or limitation period, you should contact us directly by telephone and seek immediate legal advice.

Any descriptions of our services, experience, previous matters, case examples, testimonials or outcomes are provided for general information only.

Every legal matter is different. Past results do not guarantee or predict the outcome of another matter.

Any statements concerning possible results are subject to the facts, evidence, applicable law, court or tribunal processes, the conduct of other parties and other circumstances beyond our control.

Unless otherwise stated, all content on this website, including text, graphics, branding, logos, photographs, videos, documents, page layouts and website design, is owned by or licensed to Shah & Co Lawyers and is protected by intellectual property laws.

You may view, download or print reasonable extracts from the website for your personal and non-commercial use.

You must not, without our prior written consent:

• reproduce, republish, modify, adapt or distribute website content;
• use website content for commercial purposes;
• remove copyright, trade mark or ownership notices;
• represent that our content is your own;
• frame, mirror or systematically extract content from this website; or
• use our name, logo or branding in a way that suggests an association, endorsement or relationship that does not exist.

You must use this website only for lawful purposes.

You must not:

• interfere with the operation, security or availability of the website;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its systems or information;
• introduce viruses, malicious code or other harmful material;
• use automated tools to scrape, copy or extract website content without permission;
• submit false, misleading, defamatory, offensive or unlawful material;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity;
• use the website to infringe another person’s rights; or
• use information obtained from the website for unlawful, fraudulent or unsolicited marketing purposes.

We may restrict or block access to the website where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached.

This website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

Those links are provided for convenience and general information only. A link does not mean that Shah & Co Lawyers endorses, approves or accepts responsibility for the third party or its content, products, services, security or privacy practices.

We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for any loss arising from their use. You should review the applicable terms and privacy policies before using a third-party website.

We may update, change, suspend or withdraw any part of the website without notice.

We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors or harmful components.

You are responsible for taking reasonable precautions to protect your devices, systems and information when using the internet.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Shah & Co Lawyers and its directors, employees, contractors and agents are not liable for any loss, damage, cost or expense arising from:

• reliance on general information published on this website;
• the website being inaccurate, incomplete, unavailable or out of date;
• your use of, or inability to use, the website;
• access to a third-party website through a link on this website; or
• unauthorised access to, or interference with, the website.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right, guarantee, remedy or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified, including under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or other applicable legislation.

Where our liability may lawfully be limited, it is limited to the extent permitted by law.

We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy legislation.

Our Privacy Policy forms part of these Website Terms and Conditions and is available on this website.

We may amend these Website Terms and Conditions from time to time.

The updated terms will take effect when published on this website. The date of the most recent update will appear at the beginning of the terms.

Your continued use of the website after updated terms are published constitutes acceptance of those updated terms.

If any part of these terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that part will be read down or removed to the extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue to apply.

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.

You submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the courts entitled to hear appeals from them.
