Website Terms of Use and Disclaimer

---

 By accessing, browsing, or using this website, you acknowledge and agree that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Use and Disclaimer of Liability.

If you do not agree with these terms, you should not access or use this website.

The firm may amend or update these Terms of Use at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the website after any changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

 The content on this website is provided for general informational purposes only.

Although the firm attempts to ensure that the information on this website is accurate and up to date, legal information may become outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate as a result of changes in legislation, regulations, court decisions, administrative policies, or factual circumstances.

Nothing on this website should be relied upon as a substitute for legal advice from a lawyer who has reviewed the specific facts and circumstances of your matter.

We provide legal services for all types of intellectual property, including trademarks, copyrights, and patents. Our team can help you protect your valuable intellectual property assets.

The materials on this website do not constitute legal advice, legal opinions, or professional advice of any kind.

You should not act, refrain from acting, or make any legal, business, financial, immigration, family, real estate, litigation, or other decision based solely on information obtained from this website.

You should consult with a qualified lawyer regarding your specific legal issue before taking or refraining from any action.

Your access to or use of this website does not create a solicitor-client relationship, lawyer-client relationship, advisory relationship, fiduciary relationship, or any other professional relationship between you and the firm or any of its lawyers, staff, agents, or representatives.

A solicitor-client relationship is created only when:

1. the firm has completed any required conflict-of-interest checks; 
2. the firm has agreed in writing to act for you; 
3. you have signed a written retainer agreement or engagement letter, where required; and 
4. any required retainer funds or other onboarding requirements have been satisfied. 

Submitting information through this website, sending an email, completing a contact form, calling the firm, or leaving a voicemail does not, by itself, create a solicitor-client relationship.

The firm has no obligation to respond to any communication submitted through this website or by email.

Unless and until the firm has formally agreed in writing to act for you, the firm is not responsible for taking any steps to protect your rights, preserve limitation periods, file documents, respond to court deadlines, or provide legal advice.

You remain solely responsible for any deadlines, limitation periods, procedural timelines, filing requirements, or other time-sensitive obligations that may apply to your matter.

You should not send confidential, privileged, sensitive, or time-sensitive information to the firm through this website, by contact form, or by unsolicited email unless and until the firm has agreed in writing to act for you.

Any unsolicited information you send to the firm before a solicitor-client relationship is established may not be treated as confidential or privileged.

The firm may already act for another party whose interests are adverse to yours. Sending information to the firm does not prevent the firm from acting for an existing or future client in a matter involving you, unless the firm has formally agreed otherwise in writing.

Email and internet communications may not be secure, confidential, or free from interception, delay, misdirection, corruption, viruses, malware, or technical errors.

The firm does not guarantee the security, confidentiality, or reliability of communications sent through this website, by email, or by other electronic means.

If you choose to communicate with the firm electronically, you do so at your own risk.

 This website and all content, materials, information, publications, blog posts, articles, resources, links, downloads, and other materials are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

The firm makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees, whether express or implied, regarding:

1. the accuracy, completeness, currency, or reliability of the website content; 
2. the availability, uninterrupted operation, or error-free operation of the website; 
3. the correction of any defects or errors; 
4. the absence of viruses, malware, or harmful components; 
5. the suitability of the content for any particular purpose; or 
6. the applicability of the content to your specific circumstances or jurisdiction.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the firm, its lawyers, employees, agents, contractors, consultants, representatives, affiliates, successors, and assigns shall not be liable for any loss, claim, damage, cost, expense, or liability arising from or connected with your access to, use of, or reliance upon this website or its content.

This includes, without limitation, liability for:

1. direct damages; 
2. indirect damages; 
3. incidental damages; 
4. consequential damages; 
5. special damages; 
6. punitive or exemplary damages; 
7. loss of profits; 
8. loss of business opportunity; 
9. business interruption; 
10. loss of data; 
11. computer, software, or system damage; 
12. viruses, malware, or cyber-security incidents; 
13. reliance on outdated or incomplete information; 
14. missed deadlines or limitation periods; or 
15. any decision made or action taken based on website content. 

Your use of this website is entirely at your own risk.

This website may contain links to third-party websites or resources.

Such links are provided for convenience only. The firm does not control, endorse, approve, verify, or accept responsibility for any third-party website, content, service, product, advertisement, policy, or practice.

This website is not intended to provide legal advice in jurisdictions where the firm or its lawyers are not licensed or authorized to practice law.

The lawyers of the firm are licensed and regulated by the applicable law society or legal regulatory authority in the jurisdiction where they practice.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as an offer to provide legal services in any jurisdiction where doing so would be contrary to applicable law or professional regulation.

Any discussion of past cases, representative matters, client results, testimonials, publications, or legal issues on this website is provided for general information only.

Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

Every legal matter depends on its own facts, evidence, applicable law, procedural history, and the discretion of courts, tribunals, administrative bodies, opposing parties, or other decision-makers.

You may not use this website:

1. for any unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, abusive, harassing, or harmful purpose;

The firm’s collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information may be governed by a separate Privacy Policy.

By using this website or voluntarily providing personal information to the firm, you acknowledge that your information may be collected, used, and disclosed in accordance with the firm’s Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws.

However, submitting personal information through this website does not create a solicitor-client relationship.

Any contact form, consultation request form, online booking tool, chat function, or similar website feature is provided for convenience only.

Submitting a form or booking a consultation does not guarantee that the firm will accept your matter, provide legal advice, or represent you.

The firm may decline to act for you for any reason, including conflicts of interest, capacity, jurisdiction, limitation issues, or the nature of the matter.

This website should not be used for emergencies or urgent legal matters.

If your matter involves an imminent deadline, court date, limitation period, arrest, detention, removal, eviction, closing date, injunction, or other urgent issue, you should immediately seek legal advice from a qualified lawyer or contact the appropriate court, tribunal, authority, or emergency service.

 If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed from the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect. 

These Terms of Use, your access to and use of this website, and any dispute arising from or relating to this website shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

You agree that any dispute arising from or relating to this website shall be brought exclusively before the courts of Ontario, unless otherwise required by law
