You shall not conduct, facilitate, authorise or permit any text or data mining or web scraping in relation to our site or any services provided via, or in relation to, our site. This includes using (or permitting, authorising or attempting the use of):

‍

Any “robot”, “bot”, “spider”, “scraper” or other automated device, program, tool, algorithm, code, process or methodology to access, obtain, copy, monitor or republish any portion of the site or community channels or any data, content, information or services accessed via the same.
Any automated analytical technique aimed at analysing text and data in digital form to generate information which includes but is not limited to patterns, trends and correlations.

‍

This clause shall not apply insofar as (but only to the extent that) we are unable to exclude or limit text or data mining or web scraping activity by contract under the laws which are applicable to us.

‍

By continuing to access, view or make use of this site or community channels and any related content and services, you hereby warrant and represent to us that you are located in a Permitted Territory. If you are not located in a Permitted Territory, you must immediately discontinue use of this Website and our community channels and any related content and services.

‍

Do not rely on information on this site or community channels

‍

The content on our site and community channels is provided for general information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely.

‍

You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of the content on our site or community channels.

‍

Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on our site, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on our site is accurate, complete or up to date.

Neither we nor any third parties provide any warranty or guarantee as to the accuracy, timeliness, performance, completeness or suitability of the information and materials found or offered on our site for any particular purpose.

You acknowledge that such information and materials may contain inaccuracies or errors and we expressly exclude liability for any such inaccuracies or errors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

‍

No legal, tax, accounting or financial advice

‍

We are neither a law firm nor a regulated entity.

‍

We are not a law firm and aren’t regulated as such. Law firms in England and Wales are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (“SRA”) and it’s important that you understand that we are not regulated or authorised by the SRA. This means we can’t provide services that are “reserved” to solicitors (or in some cases other authorised, regulated persons like barristers or licensed conveyancers), such as conducting litigation, conveyancing, probate activities, notarising or the administration of oaths. Our site and related services only relate to non-contentious commercial matters and we don’t carry out any of the activities that can only be provided by regulated solicitors and law firms.

‍

There are certain key differences in the regulatory protections that are available to you when you deal with a non-SRA regulated entity and it’s important that you understand that:

‍

you won’t be able to complain to the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority or Legal Ombudsman in respect of the services provided to you by our site;
you won’t be able to apply for a grant to be made out of the Solicitors’ Compensation Fund managed by the Law Society;
we aren’t required to take out compulsory professional indemnity insurance and aren’t subject to the SRA Minimum Terms and Conditions of Professional Indemnity Insurance; and
our services aren’t covered by legal professional privilege, meaning that any communications between you and us could be produced as evidence in court proceedings if ordered by a court or other authority.

‍

We don’t provide legal, tax, accounting or financial advice.

‍

As you navigate through our site you will be guided by our pool of resources, articles and ‘hints’ that help you throughout your legal journey. They are not intended to amount to legal, tax, accounting or financial advice on which you should rely. If at any point you are still uncertain about your selection, you should obtain professional or specialist advice from independent legal, tax, accounting or financial advisors before taking or refraining from any action on the basis of those resources, articles or hints.

‍

We are not responsible for websites we link to

‍

Where our site contains links to other sites and resources provided by third parties, these links are provided for your information only. Such links should not be interpreted as approval by us of those linked websites or information you may obtain from them.

‍

We have no control over the contents of those sites or resources.

‍

User-generated content is not approved by us

‍

This website may include information and materials uploaded by other users of the site, including to social media pages, video-sharing sites, bulletin boards and chat rooms. This information and these materials have not been verified or approved by us. The views expressed by other users on our site do not represent our views or values.
