These terms explain the basis on which you may use this website. By accessing or using this website, you agree to comply with these terms.

These terms apply to use of our website only. They do not constitute a contract for legal services and do not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and Cooke Painter Ltd.

If you instruct Cooke Painter Ltd to provide legal services, the terms governing our relationship with you will be set out separately in our client care letter and terms of engagement.

1. Information on this website

The information published on this website is provided for general information purposes only. It is not intended to constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.

The law can change and the application of the law will depend on the particular circumstances of each case. Information on this website may therefore not reflect the law applicable to your circumstances at the time you read it.

You should obtain specific legal advice before taking or refraining from taking any action in reliance on information published on this website.

While we take reasonable care to ensure that the information on this website is accurate and up to date, we do not guarantee that all information is complete, accurate or current.

2. Online quotes and estimates

Where our website provides an online quote or estimate for legal services, the quote is based on the information and assumptions entered or selected by you.

An online quote does not, by itself, constitute an agreement for us to act for you, nor does it create a solicitor-client relationship.

The scope of work, fees, disbursements, assumptions and any circumstances in which additional fees may become payable will be confirmed before we commence work, in accordance with our client care and terms of engagement.

Where the circumstances of a matter differ from the information or assumptions on which an online quote was based, the cost of the legal work may differ from the amount initially indicated.

3. No solicitor-client relationship

Your use of this website, submission of an enquiry, use of our online quote tool or communication with us through the website does not, by itself, create a solicitor-client relationship.

We will only act for you once we have confirmed that we are able to accept your instructions and have completed our required client onboarding and compliance procedures.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as an offer to provide legal services or as acceptance of an instruction.

4. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the content of this website, including text, graphics, logos, images and other materials, belongs to Cooke Painter Ltd or is used by Cooke Painter Ltd with permission.

You may view and print reasonable extracts from this website for your own personal and non-commercial use.

You must not reproduce, modify, distribute, republish or commercially exploit material from this website without our prior written permission, except where permitted by law.

5. Links to other websites

This website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. These links are provided for convenience and information only.

We do not control or endorse third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices.

You should review the terms and privacy policies applicable to any third-party website that you visit.

6. Website availability and security

We aim to keep this website available and secure, but we do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted or free from errors.

We take reasonable steps to protect the website and its content, but we cannot guarantee that the website or any material available through it will be free from viruses or other harmful components.

You should maintain appropriate security and virus protection on your own devices.

7. User submissions

If the website allows you to submit information, documents, comments or other material, you must ensure that anything you submit is lawful, accurate and does not infringe the rights of another person.

You must not use the website to submit material that is defamatory, obscene, fraudulent, misleading, unlawful or otherwise harmful, or that could compromise the security or operation of our systems.

Nothing submitted through the website will be treated as confidential unless we have expressly agreed otherwise or are otherwise under a legal or professional duty of confidentiality.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cooke Painter Ltd shall not be liable for loss or damage arising solely from your use of, or reliance upon, information contained on this website where such loss or damage results from circumstances that could not reasonably have been foreseen or avoided by us.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent

misrepresentation, or any other liability which applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit.

These website terms do not limit or exclude any rights or remedies you may have under applicable consumer or other legislation.

Where you have formally instructed Cooke Painter Ltd to provide legal services, any limitation of liability applicable to those legal services will be governed by the terms of our client care letter and terms of engagement, subject always to applicable law and the requirements of our professional regulator.

9. Changes to this website and these terms

We may update the content of this website and these terms from time to time.

Any changes will be published on this page and will apply to your future use of the website from the date they are published.

Changes to the terms governing an existing legal engagement will not be made solely by publishing revised website terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.

The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction in relation to these terms, subject to any mandatory rights or protections available to you under applicable law.

11. Regulatory information
