Terms of Use

The content on our websites is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended to be legal advice, professional advice, or a substitute for legal advice based on your specific circumstances.

Legal information may change over time. Immigration law, real estate law, government procedures, forms, policies, processing practices and professional requirements may change without notice. Although we aim to provide accurate and current information, we do not guarantee that website content is complete, current, accurate or suitable for your particular situation.

You should not rely on website content as legal advice. If you need advice about your specific matter, you should book a consultation or speak directly with a qualified legal professional.

Your use of our websites does not create a lawyer-client relationship with MBLAW Professional Corporation, any lawyer, or any member of our team.

A lawyer-client relationship is created only when MBLAW has agreed to act for you and the required engagement steps have been completed. These steps may include a conflict check, identity verification, confirmation of the scope of work, a signed retainer agreement, and payment of required fees.

Submitting a website form, sending an email, booking a consultation, making an inquiry, calling our office, using a client portal, or providing documents to us does not by itself mean that MBLAW has accepted your matter or agreed to represent you.

Until a lawyer-client relationship has been formally established, you should not treat any communication from MBLAW as confirmation that we act for you.

The information available on our websites may discuss legal topics, procedures, programs, services, examples or general issues. This information is not legal advice.

Legal advice depends on the specific facts of a person’s situation. The same general rule may apply differently depending on immigration history, family circumstances, status in Canada, financial evidence, real estate documents, deadlines, prior applications, government correspondence, contractual terms, or other case-specific facts.

You should not make decisions, submit applications, sign documents, waive rights, ignore deadlines, or take legal action based only on information found on our websites.

MBLAW does not guarantee any specific result, timeline, approval, decision, transaction outcome, immigration outcome, real estate outcome, or legal result.

Any examples, descriptions, past matters, general scenarios, articles, service pages or educational materials on our websites are provided for general understanding only. They do not guarantee that the same approach, result or timeline will apply to your matter.

Government authorities, courts, tribunals, registries, lenders, title insurers, other parties and third-party institutions may make independent decisions that are outside MBLAW’s control.

Our websites may allow you to submit inquiries, request contact, book consultations, send information, or provide details about a potential legal matter.

You are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate, complete and truthful. We may rely on the information you provide when responding to your inquiry, assessing whether we can assist you, conducting conflict checks, preparing for a consultation, or managing a legal matter.

Please do not send urgent, highly sensitive or confidential information through a general website form unless we have specifically asked you to do so. If your matter is urgent, you should contact our office directly by telephone and seek legal advice without delay.

Submitting information through a website form does not mean that MBLAW has agreed to act for you or that any deadline is being monitored by our office.

MBLAW is not responsible for monitoring or protecting any limitation period, filing deadline, response deadline, closing date, immigration deadline, appeal deadline, court deadline, tribunal deadline, regulatory deadline, or other time-sensitive obligation unless and until we have formally agreed to act for you in writing.

We are not required to review, assess, store, return, or respond to unsolicited documents or information submitted through our websites unless we have agreed to do so.

Our websites, general email addresses, contact forms, client portal tools and social media accounts may not be used to formally serve legal documents, notices, claims, applications, complaints, court materials, tribunal materials, regulatory materials, or other formal documents unless MBLAW has expressly agreed in writing to accept service by that method.

Any document sent to MBLAW without our express written agreement to accept service by that method may not be treated as properly served, received, reviewed, or accepted by MBLAW.

MBLAW takes confidentiality seriously. However, communications sent through general website forms, public internet channels, social media platforms or unencrypted email may not be secure.

Unless a lawyer-client relationship has been formally established, sending information to MBLAW does not automatically make the communication solicitor-client privileged. Confidentiality and solicitor-client privilege may depend on the circumstances, the nature of the communication, and whether MBLAW has agreed to provide legal services.

Client portal messages, website forms and email communications should not be used for emergencies or urgent deadlines unless MBLAW has specifically instructed you to use that method for your file.

If you need to send sensitive documents or confidential information, please use the communication method provided by MBLAW for your file or contact our office for instructions.

You may access and use our website content for your own personal, non-commercial informational purposes.

You may print or download a reasonable copy of website content for personal reference, provided that you do not modify the content, remove any copyright or ownership notices, or use the content in a misleading way.

You may not copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, distribute, sell, license, adapt, scrape, extract, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit any website content without our prior written permission.

All content on our websites, including text, design, layout, graphics, images, logos, icons, documents, forms, videos, downloadable materials, service descriptions and other website materials, is owned by MBLAW Professional Corporation or used with permission, unless otherwise stated.

Our website content is protected by copyright, trademark and other applicable intellectual property laws. No rights are granted to you except the limited right to access and use the websites in accordance with these Terms of Use.

The names, logos, branding and visual elements associated with MBLAW may not be used without our prior written permission.

Our websites may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, tools, resources, social media pages, government websites, booking tools, payment processors, maps, videos or other external services.

These links are provided for convenience only. MBLAW does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, privacy practices, security, policies or services.

A link to a third-party website does not mean that MBLAW endorses that website, its content, its services, or its privacy practices.

If you access a third-party website or service, you do so at your own risk and subject to that third party’s own terms and policies.

We aim to keep our websites available and functional, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free or secure access.

Website access may be interrupted, delayed or unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, cyber incidents, hosting interruptions, third-party service issues, internet failures or circumstances beyond our control.

You are responsible for using appropriate security measures on your own devices, systems and internet connections. This includes using updated software, secure passwords, antivirus protection and reasonable caution when accessing websites or sending information online.

MBLAW does not guarantee that our websites, servers, downloads, emails or third-party tools will be free from viruses, malware or other harmful components.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, MBLAW Professional Corporation, its lawyers, employees, contractors, agents and service providers will not be liable for any loss, damage, claim, cost or expense arising from or related to:

• your use of or inability to use our websites;
• your reliance on website content;
• errors, omissions or outdated information on the websites;
• interruption, delay or unavailability of the websites;
• third-party websites, tools, platforms or services;
• unauthorized access, technical issues, viruses, malware or harmful code;
• information submitted through general website forms or insecure communication channels;
• any action taken or not taken based on website content.

Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is not permitted by law.

Nothing in these Terms of Use is intended to limit any duties, rights or obligations that cannot be limited under applicable law or the professional rules governing lawyers in Ontario.

Your use of our websites may involve the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. Please review our Privacy Policy for information about how MBLAW collects, uses, discloses, protects, retains and manages personal information.

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws applicable to MBLAW in Ontario and Canada. If you access our websites from outside Canada, you are responsible for complying with local laws that may apply to your access or use of the websites.

We do not represent that our websites, services, content or legal information are appropriate or available for use in every jurisdiction.

These Terms of Use are published in English. If you access these Terms of Use from a Russian-language page, the English version remains the official version.

If a translated version is made available for convenience, the English version will govern in the event of any inconsistency, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time without prior notice. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.

Your continued use of our websites after changes are posted means that you accept the updated Terms of Use.

We encourage you to review these Terms of Use periodically.

These Terms of Use and your use of our websites are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable laws of Canada.

Any dispute relating to these Terms of Use or your use of our websites will be subject to the courts and tribunals with jurisdiction in Ontario, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use does not mean that we waive the right to enforce that provision in the future.

These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy and Legal Disclaimer, form the agreement between you and MBLAW regarding your use of our websites.
