Terms of Use
Please read these terms before using the website. They cover general website use and do not replace any separate engagement terms or service-specific conditions.
01
Using this website
These terms apply to your access to and use of the Olney-Fraser website and its general online content. By using the website, you agree to use it lawfully and in a way that does not interfere with its operation or other visitors' use. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access, disrupt or damage the website, introduce malicious code, misuse forms or services, or use the website in a way that infringes another person's rights or violates applicable law.
02
Information, not legal advice
Website content is provided for general information only. Laws and procedures vary between jurisdictions and change over time. Content may not be complete, current, or applicable to your circumstances. It is not legal advice, and you should obtain advice from a qualified lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction before acting or deciding not to act.
Using this website, sending us a message, viewing a partnership document, or using Ask our AI does not create a lawyer-client relationship with Olney-Fraser, a member firm, or any lawyer. A lawyer-client relationship arises only if a lawyer or firm separately agrees to act for you, normally under a written engagement. Do not send confidential or privileged information until that relationship and a secure means of communication have been confirmed.
03
Ask our AI
Ask our AI provides AI-generated information and drafting assistance, not legal advice or a substitute for professional judgment. AI can produce incorrect, incomplete, or out-of-date answers, including inaccurate legal references. Verify anything important with a qualified lawyer before relying on it.
Ask our AI sends messages and relevant conversation context to OpenAI models through Vercel AI Gateway to generate a response. Do not submit confidential, privileged, or sensitive information. See the AI disclaimers and Privacy Policy for information about this service.
04
Intellectual property and site material
Unless otherwise stated, the website's text, design, branding, and other materials are owned by or used with permission by Olney-Fraser or the relevant rights holder. You may view and print reasonable extracts for personal, non-commercial reference, provided you keep any notices intact. You may not reproduce, distribute, adapt, commercially exploit, or represent site material as your own without prior permission, except where applicable law permits.
The website may refer to or link to third-party services and content. Those references do not mean that Olney-Fraser endorses or controls the third party. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and policies.
05
Availability and responsibility
We aim to keep the website useful and available, but do not promise uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that every item of content will remain available. We may change, suspend, or remove website content or functionality.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Olney-Fraser disclaims warranties and liability arising from use of, or inability to use, this general website and its content. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or any rights that applicable consumer or other mandatory laws preserve.
06
Changes and contact
We may revise these terms as the website or services change. The current version is the version published on this page. Terms for a legal engagement, a specific service, or a particular member firm may be set out separately and will apply to that engagement or service where relevant.
Questions about these terms may be sent through the Contact Us page. These terms are subject to applicable law; they do not select a governing law or court for a legal engagement or override mandatory rights in your jurisdiction.
