Website terms of use
The information on this website is general information. It is not advice on any particular matter and should not be treated as a substitute for an agreed review of the relevant facts and documents.
Visiting the website, submitting a form, telephoning, emailing or sending documents does not create a retainer. Talk Legal acts only after accepting a defined instruction in writing.
You must not misuse the website, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious material, submit information unlawfully or infringe another person's rights.
Website content belongs to Talk Legal Limited or its licensors. It may be printed or saved for personal reference but must not be republished or exploited commercially without permission.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability which cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that qualification, Talk Legal does not accept responsibility for action taken or not taken solely in reliance on general website content.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights which apply.
