Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of our online platform and the information we provide about our legal services. By accessing or using this service, you agree to comply with these terms. If you do not agree, you should not use our site.
1. About Our Service
Knowles & Khan Lex is a law firm providing legal advice and representation in areas including corporate law, property law, and family law. Our site is intended to provide general information about our services and to facilitate client contact. It does not replace formal legal advice.
2. No Solicitor-Client Relationship
Use of our site, including sending an enquiry, does not by itself create a solicitor-client relationship. A professional relationship arises only when we have confirmed acceptance of a matter and agreed the scope of our engagement in writing or through another formal arrangement.
3. Use of Information
Information on our site is provided for general guidance only. Although we aim to keep content accurate and current, legal information may change and may not reflect the latest developments. You should not rely on website content as a substitute for obtaining advice tailored to your circumstances.
4. Client Responsibilities
When you contact us or instruct us, you agree to:
- Provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information.
- Respond promptly to reasonable requests for documents or instructions.
- Use our site lawfully and in a manner that does not interfere with its operation.
- Review and follow any engagement terms, fee arrangements, or procedural requirements we provide.
5. Legal Advice and Representation
Any legal advice we provide is based on the facts and documents supplied to us and the law applicable at the time. Outcomes in legal matters can never be guaranteed. Any representation we provide will be subject to the applicable retainer, professional obligations, and the scope of the work agreed with you.
6. Fees and Payments
Fees for our legal services will be communicated in advance where possible and may depend on the nature, complexity, urgency, and duration of the matter. Any disbursements, court fees, expert fees, or other third-party costs will be your responsibility unless we agree otherwise in writing.
7. Appointments and Cancellations
If you arrange a consultation or appointment, you should attend on time and provide any requested information in advance. We may reschedule or cancel appointments where necessary. Where you need to cancel or rearrange, please give us reasonable notice.
8. Confidentiality
We treat client information with appropriate confidentiality in line with our professional obligations and applicable law. However, confidential treatment cannot be guaranteed for information sent to us before a formal engagement has been established, or for information you disclose publicly or to third parties.
9. Intellectual Property
All text, branding, layout, and other materials on our site are owned by or licensed to Knowles & Khan Lex unless stated otherwise. You may view the content for personal and non-commercial use only. You must not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or exploit the content without our prior written consent.
10. Acceptable Use
You must not use our site in any way that is unlawful, harmful, abusive, or disruptive. In particular, you must not attempt to access systems without authorisation, introduce malicious software, scrape content in breach of applicable law, or submit false or misleading enquiries.
11. Third-Party Links
Our site may contain links to third-party websites or resources. These are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of third-party material, and inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Knowles & Khan Lex will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of our site or reliance on its content, except where liability cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
13. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or restrict access to our site where necessary for maintenance, security, legal compliance, or operational reasons. We may also refuse or end a matter or engagement in accordance with our professional duties and any applicable retainer terms.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or operational needs. The revised version will apply from the time it is published on our site unless stated otherwise.
15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising in connection with them, or with your use of our site, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
