TERMS OF USE
Effective Date: April 13, 2026
1. Introduction
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at [www.zamaniadvocates.ca] and any related subdomains, pages, or services (collectively, the "Website"), operated by Zamani Advocates ("Zamani Advocates," "the Firm," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Website.
2. No Solicitor-Client Relationship
Your use of the Website does not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and Zamani Advocates or any of its lawyers, agents, or staff. A solicitor-client relationship is formed only after: (a) the Firm has completed a conflict check and accepted you as a client in writing; and (b) you have entered into a written retainer agreement with the Firm. Unless and until both of the above conditions are satisfied, no solicitor-client relationship exists, and no duty of loyalty, confidentiality, or representation arises.
3. Information Is Not Legal Advice
The content on this Website is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice and must not be relied upon as such. Legal outcomes depend on the specific facts, applicable law, and jurisdiction of each matter. You should consult a qualified lawyer for advice tailored to your particular circumstances before acting or refraining from acting on any information found on this Website. Zamani Advocates makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, that the information on this Website is current, complete, or accurate, or that it reflects the most recent state of the law.
4. No Confidential or Privileged Communications
Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or privileged information to Zamani Advocates through this Website, by email, or by any other unsecured electronic means unless and until a solicitor-client relationship has been established in writing. Any information you submit to the Firm before a solicitor-client relationship is established (including through any contact form, email address, or telephone number listed on the Website) will not be treated as confidential or privileged and may not prevent the Firm from representing a party adverse to you in a related matter.
5. No Guarantees of Outcome
Past results are not indicative of future outcomes. Any testimonials, case summaries, or descriptions of prior matters on this Website reflect the facts of those specific matters only and do not constitute a warranty, guarantee, or prediction regarding the outcome of any future legal matter. Every case is decided on its own facts and applicable law.
6. Jurisdiction of Practice
Lawyers at Zamani Advocates are licensed to practise law in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Nothing on this Website is intended to constitute a solicitation for legal services in any jurisdiction in which any lawyer of the Firm is not authorized to practise. The Website is not directed at, and is not intended for, persons located in jurisdictions where its contents would be contrary to applicable law or regulation.
7. Intellectual Property
All content on the Website — including text, graphics, logos, the Zamani Advocates trademark and logo, images, and the overall design — is the property of Zamani Advocates or its licensors and is protected by Canadian and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
