Understanding Our Terms of Service: What You Need to Know
At Erik Perez Law Firm, we value transparency and believe that our clients should always be informed about the services they receive. Our Terms of Service outline the legal agreements between you (our client) and our firm, setting clear expectations for both parties. Whether you are a new client or a returning one, understanding these terms is essential to ensure a smooth and professional relationship.
We will break down the most important aspects of our Terms of Service, so you can fully understand what to expect when working with us.
What Are Terms of Service?
Terms of Service (ToS) are the rules and guidelines that define the relationship between a service provider—in this case, Erik Perez Law Firm—and the client. These terms cover everything from how we provide our services to the responsibilities and obligations of both parties.
Our ToS are designed to ensure that we deliver the highest quality legal services while maintaining clear and fair expectations. By agreeing to our Terms, you confirm your understanding of how we operate, the fees associated with our services, and your rights as our client.
Key Elements of Our Terms of Service
Scope of Legal Services: Our Terms of Service clarify the specific legal services we provide, which include but are not limited to, business formation, contract drafting, dispute resolution, and corporate governance. We will always ensure that the services you request align with the scope outlined in the agreement.
Client Responsibilities: As a client, you have a responsibility to provide accurate information and cooperate with our legal team throughout the process. Clear communication helps us serve you better and ensures your business is legally protected. Any delays or incomplete information may affect the timeline or outcome of your case.
Confidentiality and Privacy: Your privacy is essential to us. We are committed to maintaining strict confidentiality and safeguarding all personal and business information shared with us. Our ToS outline the measures we take to protect your data and ensure that sensitive information remains secure.
Fees and Payment Terms: Our Terms include a clear breakdown of our fees and payment structure. This transparency ensures that there are no surprises and that you understand how and when payments are due for our services. Whether we charge hourly rates or flat fees, the Terms will explain the costs upfront.
Dispute Resolution: While we aim to resolve any issues amicably, our Terms include procedures for dispute resolution in case conflicts arise. This may involve mediation or arbitration, depending on the nature of the dispute. We strive to handle disputes efficiently and without the need for lengthy court proceedings.
Limitation of Liability: Our Terms may also include limitations of liability to protect both parties. These provisions help define the scope of our responsibilities and the potential risks involved in providing legal services.
Termination of Services: If either party needs to terminate the relationship, our Terms outline the conditions under which the agreement can be ended. You may terminate our services at any time, but we encourage you to communicate your intentions clearly. Any outstanding fees or commitments will need to be settled upon termination.
