Website Disclaimer.

1. General information only

This website is published by Aprim Legal Pty Ltd ACN 697 610 325 (Aprim Legal, we, us or our).

The website, service descriptions, preparation checklists, guides, articles and other material are general information only. They do not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice about the facts, documents, law and deadlines applying to a particular matter.

2. No solicitor-client relationship

Viewing this website, downloading material, sending an email or submitting an enquiry does not create a solicitor-client relationship, retainer or duty to act.

Aprim Legal acts only after it has confirmed in writing that it can accept the matter, completed any required conflict and identity checks, agreed the scope of work and issued the required engagement and costs documents.

Until that occurs, do not assume that we act for you or that we are protecting any deadline.

3. Confidentiality, conflicts and privilege

Information sent before engagement may be relevant to professional confidentiality and conflict obligations, but sending information does not guarantee that a solicitor-client relationship or legal professional privilege has arisen.

Do not send original documents, extensive files, highly sensitive information or confidential information about another person unless requested. Provide only the information reasonably necessary for an initial enquiry.

4. Accuracy, completeness and currency

We take reasonable care when preparing website material, but laws, procedures, forms, court practices and regulatory requirements change. Material may not be complete, current or suitable for every jurisdiction or circumstance.

References to Victoria, New South Wales or Australian law are general. Legal advice may depend on the applicable state, territory, federal law, court, tribunal, contractual jurisdiction and the date on which events occurred.

5. Urgent matters and deadlines

The website and email are not continuously monitored. Do not rely on an online enquiry to protect a limitation period, court date, appeal period, filing date, settlement date, bail obligation, notice deadline or any other urgent right.

If a matter is urgent, state the exact deadline prominently and seek immediate assistance. In an emergency involving immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency service.

6. No guarantee of outcome

Every legal matter depends on its facts, evidence, law, procedure, the conduct of other parties and the exercise of judicial or administrative discretion. Nothing on this website guarantees a result, timeframe, cost outcome or recovery.

7. Third-party websites and services

This website may refer or link to third-party websites, maps, platforms or services for convenience. Aprim Legal does not control and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices or accuracy. A link does not amount to endorsement.

8. Email security, fraud and payment instructions

Email and online communications may be intercepted, delayed, altered or affected by malware. Verify unexpected instructions, changes to payment details and requests for funds using contact details already known and independently verified.

Do not transfer money, including trust money, solely in reliance on an email that changes bank-account details. Aprim Legal is not responsible for loss caused by acting on fraudulent communications where reasonable verification has not occurred.

9. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Aprim Legal excludes liability arising from reliance on website material, inability to access the website, transmission errors, third-party content or use of the website for a purpose for which it was not intended.

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes, restricts or modifies a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

10. Copyright and permitted use

Unless otherwise stated, Aprim Legal owns or licenses the copyright and other intellectual property in this website. Material may be viewed and printed for personal, non-commercial use. It must not be reproduced, adapted, republished or commercially used without prior written permission.

11. Applicable law

This website is intended for users in Australia. Its use is subject to applicable Australian law. The law governing any legal engagement will be addressed in the relevant engagement documents and may depend on the matter and jurisdiction.
