1. Acceptance of these terms
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of gnarena.com (the “website”), operated by Gnarena Law in Calgary, Alberta. By using the website, you agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the website. We may revise these terms from time to time by posting an updated version here.
2. Educational information only
The website provides general educational and informational content. It is not legal, financial, tax, investment, or other professional advice and should not be treated as a substitute for advice about your particular circumstances. Law and its interpretation change, and information may not be current, complete, or applicable outside the context described. You should obtain advice from a qualified professional before acting or refraining from acting.
3. No lawyer-client relationship
Viewing the website, using a contact method, or sending information to us does not create a lawyer-client relationship, retainer, fiduciary relationship, or duty of representation. A lawyer-client relationship arises only after the firm confirms that it can act, completes required conflict and identity procedures, and enters into an express written engagement with you. Until then, do not send confidential, privileged, or time-sensitive information.
4. No promise or guarantee
Descriptions of services and illustrative feedback are not promises, predictions, or guarantees. Every legal matter depends on its own facts, evidence, law, participants, and circumstances. Prior experiences do not determine future results.
5. Permitted use
You may view and print reasonable excerpts from this website for your personal, non-commercial information. You agree not to:
- use the website in violation of law or another person’s rights;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website or related systems;
- introduce malicious code, interfere with operation, scrape content at scale, or circumvent security measures;
- misrepresent an affiliation with the firm; or
- copy, publish, modify, sell, or commercially exploit website content without written permission.
6. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise indicated, the website’s original text, arrangement, design, and other content are owned by or licensed to Gnarena Law and are protected by Canadian intellectual property laws. “gnarena.com” and associated presentation may not be used in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation without our prior written consent. Rights not expressly granted are reserved.
7. Third-party links and platforms
The website may link to third-party websites or social platforms for convenience. We do not control or endorse their content, availability, security, or privacy practices. Accessing an external service is at your discretion and subject to that service’s terms. A link to or from this website does not itself establish a relationship or endorsement.
8. Website availability and security
We work to maintain a useful and secure website but do not promise uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure access. We may change, suspend, remove, or restrict any part of the website without notice. You are responsible for maintaining reasonable security for your devices and communications.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without representations or warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or collateral, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, currency, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, non-infringement, or availability. Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Gnarena Law and its personnel will not be liable for loss or damage arising from or connected with use of, inability to use, or reliance on this website or linked resources, including indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or economic loss. This limitation does not apply where liability cannot legally be limited. You remain responsible for decisions made on the basis of general website information.
11. Privacy and electronic communications
Our Privacy Policy explains our handling of personal information. Internet and email communications may not be secure. A contact-form acknowledgement confirms only that the form was processed in your browser; it does not confirm acceptance of a matter, receipt by a lawyer, or agreement to meet a deadline.
12. Governing law
These terms and any dispute concerning the website are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any mandatory legal right to another forum, the courts located in Calgary, Alberta will have exclusive jurisdiction. If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be severed or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue.
