II. TAXACADEMI.COM SERVES AS A PLATFORM FOR INTERACTION
Taxacademi functions as an online portal designed to facilitate communication between legal professionals and potential users seeking legal services. Acting as a virtual venue, Taxacademi enables the exchange of information between providers and consumers of legal services, with the ultimate aim of fostering a professional relationship. It's important to note that Taxacademi does not guarantee the successful identification of an advocate, lawyer, or attorney through this platform. Furthermore, Taxacademi remains neutral and refrains from expressing any opinion on whether a lawyer-client relationship has been established.
To create an optimal space for lawyers and clients, Taxacademi intentionally refrains from getting involved in the agreements between legal professionals and clients, as well as the actual representation of clients. Consequently, we cannot assure the completion of agreements or vouch for the integrity of either party involved. The responsibility for assessing the integrity, honesty, and trustworthiness of all individuals with whom the user interacts on this service lies solely with the user and not with Taxacademi.
(a) Disclaimer of Lawyer-Client Relationship:
Taxacademi does not serve as a representative of lawyers; rather, it facilitates communication between lawyers and potential clients. Sending electronic communications to Taxacademi alone does not establish a lawyer-client relationship between the user and Taxacademi, and such a relationship is expressly denied.
(b) Taxacademi does not endorse any User:
Taxacademi is dedicated to assisting individuals in need of legal representation in connecting with lawyers that best suit their requirements. It is not intended as a platform for advertising or solicitation, and the website's contents should not be construed as legal advice. While Taxacademi may suggest subscribing lawyers if they align with a user's needs, it does not engage in promotion otherwise. The transmission, receipt, or use of Taxacademi does not create a lawyer-client relationship. Users are encouraged to independently review lawyer profiles and make informed choices, and no action or refraining from action should be based solely on the website's content.
(c) Specifically, Taxacademi does not facilitate solicitation:
Taxacademi ensures that information about clients is concealed from lawyers until direct or online communication is established. As a result, lawyers are not permitted to access private information about potential clients.
(d) Disclaimer: Taxacademi Does Not Provide Legal Advice
Taxacademi's 'Common Needs' feature generates basic documents using only user-supplied content. The information in the 'FAQs' section is not considered legal advice; it consists of commonly asked questions about various documents such as Will making, Lease Agreement drafting, Cheque Dishonour notices, Money recovery notices, Power of Attorney to collect rent, and other documents that may be added periodically. Users are strongly advised to consult with lawyers for specialized guidance on any of these documents.
(e) 'Common Needs' - Prohibition on Resale of Forms
Taxacademi grants users a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the "Common Needs" feature for personal use or, if applicable, for use on behalf of a client as an attorney or professional. Unless otherwise specified, users acknowledge and agree that they have no right to modify, edit, copy, reproduce, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, alter, enhance, or exploit any of the Forms in any way, except for filling out the Forms for authorized use.
By purchasing a document from Taxacademi, users agree that the document may only be used for personal or business purposes or for use in connection with a client, and may not be sold or redistributed without the express written consent of Taxacademi. Unauthorized resale or distribution constitutes a violation of Taxacademi's exclusive copyright and is subject to prosecution.
(f) Disclaimer of Representations by Users
Taxacademi explicitly disclaims any representation, guarantee, or warranty (express or implied) regarding the legal ability, competence, or quality of representation provided by any lawyers or law firms listed on this site or any affiliates thereof.
It is important to note that Taxacademi, its subsidiaries, or employees are not advocates, and the platform is not a law firm providing legal advice. Nothing on the website, blog, or in communications sent to users should be construed as legal advice. The content on these platforms serves the purpose of spreading information and awareness, and it should not be considered a substitute for the advice or services of an advocate or legal professional.
Wherever necessary to meet your requirements, we will facilitate the connection with an appropriate professional, such as lawyers, chartered accountants, or company secretaries. Please note that these professionals are not our representatives, agents, or employees. Our site and services serve as one source of information among many available to you. It is advisable to consider multiple sources to make an informed decision.
Engaging any of these professionals is a significant decision, and you must carefully make it based on your judgment. By agreeing to use our website's services, you grant us permission to make this selection on your behalf. If you disagree with these terms or prefer not to have us choose a professional for your request, kindly refrain from using our services.
While we strive to maintain accurate, current, and up-to-date content and documents, changes in laws and regulations may result in some information on the site becoming outdated. Please be aware that legal requirements can be location-specific and may vary.
Our sites and services are not intended to establish an advocate-client relationship, and your use of them does not create such a relationship between you and us.
