These terms apply to the use of the website of the Law Office of Israel Arama. Browsing the site, reading its content and contacting the firm through it constitute agreement to the terms set out here. If you do not agree to any of them, please do not use the site.
1. The purpose of the site and the information on it
The site presents the firm's practice areas and provides general information on legal subjects. The material is written for an initial orientation only.
The information on this site is not legal advice and is not a substitute for advice on your own case. Every matter turns on its precise facts and on the law applying to it at the relevant time. Do not rely on the site's content to make a decision or take a step without obtaining advice that addresses your circumstances.
2. No lawyer and client relationship
Browsing the site, reading its content, completing a contact form or sending a message does not create a lawyer and client relationship between you and the firm. Such a relationship arises only after a conflict of interest check, the firm's express agreement to take the matter on, and the signing of an engagement agreement.
Do not send confidential or sensitive material through the site before an engagement has been put in place. A message sent beforehand is not protected by lawyer and client privilege.
3. Urgent enquiries and deadlines
Legal proceedings carry deadlines fixed by law, and some of them are short. An enquiry through the site does not guarantee a reply within any particular time and does not stop any deadline from running. For an urgent matter, please telephone the firm directly.
4. Intellectual property
Rights in the content of this site, including the texts, the guides, the design, the marks and the logo, belong to the firm or to those who licensed their use to it. The content may not be copied, reproduced, published or used commercially without prior written permission.
A short passage may be quoted for study, research, criticism or review, subject to attribution and to the Copyright Law.
5. Links to external sites
The site may link to sites operated by others, including authority websites and official directories. Such links are provided for your convenience. The firm has no control over the content of those sites, their availability or their privacy practices, and is not responsible for them.
Details shown on the site about courts, police stations or enforcement bodies are provided for initial orientation. Please verify them against the official sources before relying on them.
6. Liability
The firm makes an effort to keep the content accurate and current, but the law changes and case law develops. Particular content may not reflect the legal position as it stands at the time of reading.
The firm will not be liable for loss caused by reliance on the site's content without individual advice, nor for loss arising from a technical fault, from the site ceasing to operate, or from the act of a third party.
7. Privacy and cookies
The use of information collected on the site is governed by the firm's privacy policy and cookie policy, which form an integral part of these terms.
8. Prohibited use
The site may not be used for any unlawful purpose or in a way that harms it or other users. This includes:
- Attempting to penetrate the site's systems, disrupt its operation or circumvent security measures
- Automated harvesting of content or of contact details from the site
- Sending offensive or misleading content, or content infringing another's rights, through the contact forms
- Presenting content from the site in a way that creates a false impression as to its source
9. Changes to these terms
The firm may update these terms from time to time, including following a change in the law or in the site's services. The binding version is the one published on this page at the time of use. It is worth reviewing it occasionally.
10. Governing law
These terms and the use of the site are governed by Israeli law alone. Jurisdiction over any matter concerning them lies with the competent courts in Israel.
