TERMS OF USE OF THE ARSLEGEM.COM WEBSITE

Last updated: 9 April 2025

GENERAL PROVISIONS

This Terms of Use document (“Terms”) governs your access to and use of the arslegem.com website (the “Site”), operated by ArsLegem LLC and/or ARSLEGEM LAW FIRM (hereinafter referred to as “ArsLegem”, “we”, or “us”). By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the Site.

The Site provides general information about ArsLegem and may include news updates or publications on legal topics related to our practice. It does not require user registration, and we do not provide interactive features such as user blogs, comment sections, newsletters, or online feedback forms. The Site is not intended to serve as a mass media outlet or as advertising directed to any specific jurisdiction.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version of the Terms is indicated by the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after any changes will constitute your acceptance of the revised Terms.

NO LEGAL ADVICE OR ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

All content on this Site is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice on any subject matter. Although the Site may discuss legal issues or recent developments, publications on this Site are not a substitute for professional legal counsel tailored to your specific circumstances. Do not act or refrain from acting based on the information on this Site without seeking advice from a qualified lawyer.

Your use of the Site or communication with us through the Site (for example, via email) does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and ArsLegem. Nothing on the Site should be taken as an offer to represent you or as creating such a relationship. If you are not an existing client of ArsLegem, do not send us any confidential information until we have agreed to represent you through a written engagement agreement.

In some jurisdictions, the content of this Site may be considered attorney advertising. Please note: PRIOR RESULTS DO NOT GUARANTEE A SIMILAR OUTCOME. ArsLegem makes no assurances that the outcomes of matters described on the Site will be achievable in any other case.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE

ArsLegem respects the confidentiality of client communications and adheres to the rules on attorney-client privilege as required by law. However, until you become our client (for instance, by signing a legal services agreement with us), any information or correspondence you provide to us, including via this Site or email, will not be treated as confidential or protected by attorney-client privilege. Unsolicited information that you send to ArsLegem before establishing an attorney-client relationship may be disclosed or used for our own purposes, and sending such information will not prevent ArsLegem from representing a different client in the same or related matter.

If you wish to discuss the possibility of legal representation, we will take appropriate steps to ensure confidentiality once an attorney-client relationship is established. Please contact us directly to arrange a consultation rather than sending detailed confidential information through the website.
