Please read these terms of use (“Terms of Use”) carefully before using the www.anahawlaw.ca website, its social media channels and related platforms (the “Platforms”) operated by Czarina Maroelle Pacaide dba Anahaw Law (“I”, “me”, “my”, “myself”).
CONDITIONS OF USE
I will provide the Platforms to visitors and users of the Platforms (“you”, “users”). Every time you visit the Platforms or use its services, you accept the following conditions. Please read these carefully.
Privacy Policy
Before you continue using the Platforms, I advise you to read my Privacy Policy about my user data collection. It will help you better understand my practices.
Age Requirement
To access the Platforms, you must be over 19 years old and have the power and authority to accept these Terms of Use.
No Client-Lawyer Relationship Formed
Your use of the Platforms, including applying to work with me, does not make you my client. I have to do a lot before you and I can officially work together, including conflict checks as required by my ethical obligations to make sure I can work with you without going against the interests of a present or past client. I also need to check if there is a fit between your needs and my skills and experience.
You become a client of Anahaw Law when you and I sign a separate engagement agreement.
No Professional Advice
All of the information on the Platforms, including but not limited to the digital content delivered via email, blog, podcasts, live and pre-recorded events, on social media, through webinars and other content, whether available for purchase or not (collectively, the “Platform Content”), are resources for your general information only.
The Platform Content is not a substitute for actually discussing your situation with a legal, tax, or other professional. For instance, for every word I publish, I probably have ten times that much material I do not post because I do not want to put the Internet to sleep with legalese. The Platform Content does not get into the numerous subtle nuances that might arise from any given set of facts. Plus, the law is always changing. I cannot guarantee that what I publish will be accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free by the time you come across it. You should not act–or refrain from acting–on the basis of the Platform Content without first consulting primary, more accurate, complete or timely sources of information, including but not limited to licensed legal counsel in the relevant jurisdiction.
If you need legal advice, start a conversation. I do not know if I will be able to help, but I am happy to share with you resources that may help move you forward.
Modifications to the Platforms
I may modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any part of the Platforms for any reason and without notice. I may not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, interruption, suspension or discontinuance of the Platforms.
Service Descriptions
While I try to be as clear as possible in explaining my services, please do not accept the description as entirely accurate, current, or error-free. From time to time, I may correct errors in pricing and descriptions. I may discontinue a service at any time. All prices are subject to applicable taxes.
Use of Testimonials
The Platforms may reference testimonials, reviews, case studies or other feedback from others about my services. Although these testimonials are truthful statements, because each case is based on unique facts and circumstances, the results obtained by these users and clients are not a guarantee of the types of results you can achieve by following the information in the Platforms or use of my services.
Copyright
The Platform Content is either my property or that of its content creators as cited and is protected by international copyright laws. The entire compilation of the content found on the Platforms is my exclusive property, with copyright authorship for this compilation by me. You may not remove any copyright notice from any Platform Content.
Comments
You may post content on the Platforms or send me creative ideas, suggestions, proposals, plans, feedback, or other materials via email, regular mail, direct messages or phone calls (collectively, “Comments”), as long as such Comments are not obscene, illegal, defamatory, threatening, infringing of intellectual property rights, invasive of privacy or injurious in any other way to third parties. Comments must be free of software viruses, political campaigns, and commercial solicitation (ie: please, no spam). You are solely responsible for the Comments you make and their accuracy.
When you post or send Comments, you grant me non-exclusive, royalty-free and irrevocable right to use, reproduce, publish, and modify your Comments throughout the world in any media.
I may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit, respond to, or remove Comments.
License
I grant you a limited license to access and use the Platforms and Platform Content for your personal or internal business use only. You are not allowed to:
- download, modify, edit, copy, reproduce, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, alter, sell, enhance or in any way exploit any of the Platform Content in any manner, except for modifications in filling out the products for your authorized use;
- include Platform Content in or with any product or service that you create or distribute;
- establish, without my express written permission: (i) a hyperlink, including a deep link, to any page or location on the Platforms; or (ii) a frame containing any portion of the Platforms, on any other website or text document with hyperlink capabilities;
- direct any other person to do any of the above.
Third Party Links
I provide links to other websites or resources which are not maintained by or related to me. Links to such websites or resources are provided for your convenience and informational use only; they do not constitute my endorsement or approval of any of the products, services or opinions of the referenced corporation, organization or individual. I am not responsible for the accuracy, legality or content of the external site or for that of subsequent links. Please contact that external site for answers to questions regarding its content.
In the same vein, I am not responsible for the content or practice of external websites that may be linking to the Platforms, and I make no representation or warranty regarding such third parties, their websites, their content, or their goods and services.
No Warranties / Limitation on Liabilities
I do not warrant that the quality of the Platforms or Platform Content will meet your expectations or that any errors in the Platform Content will be corrected. You are using the Platforms and Platform Content “as is” and “as available”, without any representation, warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement
You expressly agree that your use of, or inability to use, the Platforms is at your sole risk. I do not guarantee, represent or warrant that your use of the Platforms will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free.
To the extent permitted by law, I may not be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages (including loss of data, revenue, profits, or business opportunities, or personal injury or death), whether arising in contract, warranty, tort, product liability, or otherwise, and even if I’ve been advised of the possibility of damages in advance. My liability to you or any third parties under any circumstance is limited to $100.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless myself, my subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms of Use or the documents they incorporate by reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third-party. Your indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms of Use and your use of the Platforms and Services.
Governing Law
The Terms of Use is governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada.
Dispute Resolution
If a dispute arises under these Terms of Use, you and I agree to first try to resolve the dispute with the help of a mutually agreed-upon mediator in British Columbia, Canada. Any costs and fees associated with the mediation, other than lawyer fees, will be shared equally by the both of us. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty calendar days after it is referred to the mediator, it will be settled exclusively by submitting to binding arbitration in British Columbia, Canada. A party electing arbitration must initiate proceedings by filing an arbitration demand with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) Canada. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction to do so. Costs of arbitration, including lawyer fees, will be allocated by the arbitrator.
If any court action is necessary to enforce these Terms of Use, the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable lawyer fees, costs, and expenses in addition to any other relief to which the party may be entitled.
Severability
If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of the Terms of Use is held by an arbitrator to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the rest of the Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated.
Waiver
The failure of myself to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Updates and Changes
I may change these Terms of Use from time to time. If I make changes, I will notify you by revising the date at the top of this Terms of Use, and in some cases, I may provide you with additional notice (such as sending you an email notification). I encourage you to review the Terms of Use whenever you interact with the Platforms to stay informed. Your continued use of the Platforms and Platform Content after the revised Terms of Use has become effective indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to the current version of the Terms of Use.
