Website Policies and Terms of Use
These policies govern website use and initial communication with the firm. They complement the Privacy Policy and do not reduce any protection under the Saudi Code of Law Practice, professional conduct rules or applicable Saudi law.
1. Terms of Use
By using the website, you acknowledge these terms and accept them to the extent permitted by law. If you do not accept them, stop using the website.
Content is general information, not legal advice on specific facts and not a substitute for advice based on complete facts and documents. Laws, regulations, decisions and practice may change after publication.
- Use the website only for lawful purposes. Do not disrupt or test its security without authorisation, impersonate others, or upload harmful or infringing content.
- The brand, identity, text and designs belong to the firm or are used under licence and may not be commercially reused without written permission.
- External links are provided for convenience and do not endorse or guarantee third-party content or availability.
- These terms are governed by Saudi law and disputes are subject to the competent courts of the Kingdom unless a valid alternative agreement applies.
- If the language versions conflict, the Arabic version prevails to the extent permitted by law.
2. Professional Disclaimer
A lawyer-client relationship is not created by visiting the website or sending a form, email or message. It begins only after the firm accepts the engagement in writing, completes identity, authority, conflict and professional checks, and agrees the scope and fees.
The firm does not guarantee the outcome of any dispute, transaction or authority decision. Outcomes depend on facts, evidence, law, procedure and competent authorities. Website communications do not suspend any limitation, objection, appeal or statutory deadline.
- Do not use the website for emergencies or imminent deadlines; contact the firm directly and obtain confirmation of receipt and acceptance.
- Do not send original documents, trade secrets, sensitive data or potentially adverse information until the firm confirms in writing that it can receive them.
- Any limitation or exclusion applies only to the extent permitted by law and does not exclude liability that cannot lawfully or professionally be excluded.
3. Communication & Consent Policy
By selecting the consent box and submitting an enquiry, the submitter agrees that the firm may contact them about the enquiry by telephone, email, WhatsApp or the selected channel, and may process the submitted data for that purpose under the Privacy Policy.
The submitter confirms that the data is accurate and current and relates to them, or that they are legally authorised to provide it and request contact for the relevant person. They are responsible for updates and notifying the firm of errors, without reducing the firm’s legal responsibilities.
- Consent to enquiry communications is not consent to marketing. Marketing communications will require a separate lawful basis and consent where applicable.
- Contact consent may be withdrawn at any time by email, without affecting prior lawful processing or processing based on another legal basis.
- General email and messaging channels may not be suitable for highly sensitive information; the firm will identify a suitable secure channel if a matter is accepted.
- The firm may decline an enquiry without confirming any legal position or undertaking to represent the submitter.
4. Electronic Communications
The user agrees to electronic means for requested enquiries and informal notices, while retaining the right to withdraw consent in accordance with law. An email or message does not sign a services agreement unless the agreed and legal requirements for contracting and electronic signature are met.
- Users must secure their devices and accounts and ensure contact details are correct.
- No urgent instruction, document or engagement is treated as received unless expressly confirmed by the firm.
5. Cookie Policy
The current website is limited to technologies necessary for operation and security, without marketing cookies or behavioural tracking. If non-essential tools are added, a clear choice mechanism and updated notice will be provided before use wherever consent is required.
6. Updates and approval
Policies may be updated when law, firm services or technical infrastructure changes. The update applies from the stated publication date, with fresh notice or consent where legally required. These policies are reviewed periodically against the firm’s operational procedures and hosting arrangements, because compliance depends on practice and technical contracts as well as published text.
