We are solicitors regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority, SRA number 5453740.
1.2 In addition to the terms below any terms of engagement we send to you will also apply to form the contract between us. In addition some clients instruct us on:-
(a) a conditional fee agreement basis – then our conditional fee agreement will apply and/or
(b) a pre-litigation contingency fee agreement then our contingency fee agreement – pre issue of proceedings will apply
If either or both of these apply those terms apply in addition to the terms and conditions of this agreement.
1.3 When you contact us on the website it will be clear at the point where you purchase our services whether this is a chargeable service/digital download or on the basis set out at paragraph 1.2(a) or (b) above. It will also be clear when you are committed to pay on the site.
- No Cancellation Rights
2.1 If you are buying services from us on line and you are dealing as a consumer rather than purchasing for a business, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 may apply.
2.2 Due to the nature of our services you acknowledge that if you buy a digital download or take any services they will start immediately. As the services will have been supplied/performed instantly or soon thereafter there is no right to cancel and by taking the service you expressly confirm you accept the services will start immediately and are not cancellable. This does not affect your statutory rights in relation to any quality of service issues.
- Solicitor/Client Retainer
3.1 If the services we shall provide to you shall form a solicitor/client relationship we will need to undertake a conflict check before we can take on the engagement. If we find there is a conflict or we otherwise cannot take you on as a client we will let you know and will refund any money you have paid via the website. In all cases we reserve to reject any order for services from you. In addition as stated above in paragraph 1 you may be required to accept our additional terms mentioned in paragraph 1 above. If so you agree to sign such terms or indicate your acceptance of them. Which terms apply to you will be made clear on the website.
3.2 In addition we are required to undertake an identity check for all new clients where a solicitor/client relationship is created. You will be asked for passport or driving licence and a recent utility bill with home address either certified by a local solicitor or uploaded to us for an on line credit check. Again any supply of services by us is subject to such ID check being satisfactory.
- Fees
4.1 You pay us the fees set out clearly on the website. All fees are shown including any value added tax. Fees on the website are current at the date of purchase. If you enter into a conditional fee agreement or pre-litigation contingency agreement (see paragraph 1 above) this will be made clear on the site and the fee arrangements are as set out in those agreements which will prevail if there is any conflict with these terms.
4.2 In performance of your instructions there are sometimes monies solicitors must lay out on your behalf. Such monies are called disbursements e.g: court issue fees. You will be required to pay the disbursement outlay on request and we will be entitled to suspend performance of your instructions pending you placing us cleared funds to pay disbursements.
