Terms & Conditions

1. About These Terms

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the ASA Solicitors website.

By using our website, you agree to these Terms of Use.

If you do not agree to these terms, you should not use the website.

2. About Us

This website is operated by:

ASA Solicitors

Bradford
BD1 2QY

Telephone: 01274 900 400
Email: info@asa-solicitors.co.uk

ASA Solicitors is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

SRA ID: 8007612

3. No Legal Advice

The content of this website is provided for general information purposes only.

Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice or should be treated as a substitute for legal advice relating to your individual circumstances.

Legal rights, obligations, procedures and time limits can depend upon the particular circumstances of a matter and may change.

You should obtain appropriate legal advice before taking, or refraining from taking, action based upon information contained on this website.

4. No Solicitor-Client Relationship

Your use of this website does not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and ASA Solicitors.

Submitting an online form, sending us an email, telephoning us or otherwise contacting us does not mean that we have agreed to act for you.

We will only act once we have expressly confirmed that we have accepted your instructions and any relevant client onboarding, conflict, identification, due diligence and engagement requirements have been completed.

Until then, you should not assume that we are protecting your interests or any applicable time limits.

5. Conflicts of Interest

Before accepting instructions, we may be required to undertake a conflict-of-interest check.

You should therefore avoid sending extensive confidential or sensitive information to us before we have confirmed that we are able to consider or accept your instructions.

Receipt of unsolicited information does not automatically create a duty to act for you.

6. Accuracy of Website Information

We take reasonable care to ensure that information published on this website is accurate when published.

However:

• legislation may change;
• case law may develop;
• regulatory requirements may be amended;
• information may become outdated; and
• the application of law will depend upon individual circumstances.

We therefore do not guarantee that all information on the website will remain complete, accurate or current at all times.

7. Availability of the Website

We aim to keep our website available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

We may:

• suspend access;
• withdraw pages or services;
• amend content;
• carry out maintenance; or
• change the website without notice.

We are not responsible for circumstances outside our reasonable control affecting website availability.

8. Permitted Use

You may use our website for lawful personal or business purposes associated with obtaining information about ASA Solicitors and our legal services.

You must not:

• use the website unlawfully or fraudulently;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, server or systems;
• knowingly introduce malware, viruses or other harmful material;
• interfere with the operation or security of the website;
• use automated systems to extract substantial amounts of website content without permission;
• impersonate another person; or
• use the website in a manner that infringes another person’s rights.

9. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, ASA Solicitors owns or is licensed to use the intellectual property rights in the content appearing on this website, including text, branding, graphics, layouts and other materials.

You may view and print reasonable extracts for your own lawful, non-commercial use.

You may not, without prior written permission:

• reproduce substantial parts of the website;
• commercially exploit our content;
• modify or republish our content as your own;
• remove copyright or proprietary notices; or
• use our name, branding or trade marks in a misleading manner.

10. Links to Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties.

Links are provided for information or convenience and do not necessarily constitute endorsement of the third party or its content.

We do not control third-party websites and accept no responsibility for their content, security, availability or privacy practices.

Users should review the terms and privacy information applying to third-party websites.

11. Links to Our Website

You may link to publicly accessible pages on our website provided that the link:

• is lawful and fair;
• does not damage or exploit our reputation;
• does not falsely suggest an association, approval or endorsement;
• does not display our website in a misleading context; and
• is not placed on a website containing unlawful or seriously inappropriate content.

We reserve the right to require a link to be removed.

12. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes or restricts liability where it would be unlawful to do so.

Subject to that qualification, ASA Solicitors will not be responsible for loss arising solely from reliance upon general information published on this website where individual legal advice has not been obtained.

Nothing in these Terms of Use affects any obligations or liability arising under an actual solicitor-client retainer between ASA Solicitors and a client.

Any such relationship will be governed by the applicable engagement documentation and professional obligations.

13. Cybersecurity and Email Fraud

Electronic communications can be subject to interception, fraud and cybercrime.

You should be particularly cautious about communications requesting payments or advising of changes to bank details.

You should independently verify any request to transfer funds using a trusted telephone number before making payment.

ASA Solicitors will not ordinarily notify you of a change to our bank details solely by email.

If you receive a suspicious communication purporting to be from ASA Solicitors, please contact us immediately using independently verified contact details.

14. Privacy and Cookies

Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Data Protection & Privacy Policy.

Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Cookie Policy.

15. Governing Law

These Terms of Use and any non-contractual dispute arising from use of this website are governed by the law of England and Wales.

Subject to any mandatory rights that apply to you, the courts of England and Wales shall have jurisdiction in relation to disputes arising from these Terms of Use or use of this website.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may amend these Terms of Use from time to time.

The version published on the website at the relevant time will apply to your use of the website.
