These Website Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the CleverMinds Legal Centre website.
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the website.
1. About This Website
This website is operated by CleverMinds Legal Centre (“CleverMinds”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
The website provides general information about our firm, our legal services and related legal topics and may allow users to contact us, request appointments or access online services.
2. General Information Only
Unless expressly stated otherwise, information provided on this website is general information only.
It does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for legal advice relating to your particular circumstances.
Laws and legal requirements can change, and their application depends on the particular facts and circumstances of each matter.
You should obtain appropriate professional legal advice before acting or refraining from acting based on information contained on this website.
3. No Solicitor-Client Relationship
Accessing this website, reading information on it, submitting an enquiry or contacting us through the website does not, by itself, create a solicitor-client relationship between you and Clever Minds Legal Centre.
A solicitor-client relationship will generally only arise after we have agreed to act for you and any required engagement and client onboarding procedures have been completed.
We reserve the right to decline to act in any matter, including where a conflict of interest exists.
4. Information You Provide
You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide through the website is accurate and complete.
You should not provide confidential or highly sensitive information through a general website enquiry form unless requested to do so.
Information submitted through the website will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable professional obligations.
5. Appointments and Online Enquiries
Submitting an appointment request does not guarantee that an appointment has been accepted.
An appointment is confirmed only when we provide confirmation.
Similarly, submitting an enquiry does not mean that we have agreed to act for you or that we are responsible for meeting any legal deadline relating to your matter.
If your matter involves an urgent deadline, limitation period, court date or other time-sensitive requirement, you should obtain legal assistance promptly and should not rely solely on an online enquiry.
6. Legal Documents and Online Services
Where our website provides access to document preparation or other online legal services, additional terms, fees and conditions may apply.
Any document generated or supplied through our services should be used only for the person and circumstances for which it was prepared.
You should ensure that you understand the legal effect of a document before signing or relying upon it.
7. Fees
Information about fees displayed on the website is general information unless expressly stated otherwise.
The fees applicable to a particular legal matter or service will be communicated to you as required and may be governed by a costs agreement, disclosure document, engagement letter or other agreement between you and Clever Minds Legal Centre.
Third-party costs, government fees, searches, duties, filing fees, registration fees and other disbursements may be additional unless expressly stated otherwise.
