4. Description of Services

Adv. Nitin Thakare may provide legal professional services based on the nature of a client’s requirements and subject to acceptance of the matter.

Services may include, where professionally appropriate:

• Legal consultations and discussions.

• Legal notices and replies.
• Assistance relating to legal proceedings.
• Representation before courts, tribunals, authorities, or other legally permissible forums.
• Documentation and procedural assistance.
• Case-related communication and updates.
• Other professional legal services agreed with a client.

The availability of any particular service depends upon professional capacity, conflict checks, jurisdiction, subject matter, applicable law, and the advocate’s professional obligations.

Website content is intended for general informational purposes. It does not constitute legal advice for a specific situation unless a formal professional engagement has been established.

5. Eligibility

The Website is generally available to individuals who are legally capable of using online services.

Where a person submits information on behalf of another individual, company, organisation, minor, or other entity, that person represents that they have appropriate authority to provide such information.

Persons under the applicable age of majority should use the Website only with appropriate involvement or consent of a parent or lawful guardian where required by law.

Adv. Nitin Thakare reserves the right to decline an enquiry or professional engagement where acceptance would conflict with professional duties, applicable law, existing client interests, jurisdictional restrictions, or other legitimate considerations.

6. Account Registration

Certain digital facilities may require the submission of basic information such as name, mobile number, email address, or other contact information.

You agree to provide information that is accurate, current, and not misleading.

You must not impersonate another person, submit false information, use another person’s telephone number without authority, or provide documents or information that you know to be fraudulent or unlawfully obtained.

Where login credentials are provided, you are responsible for maintaining their confidentiality and for activity conducted through your account.

Adv. Nitin Thakare may suspend or restrict access where information appears fraudulent, unlawful, abusive, or inconsistent with these Terms.

7. User Responsibilities

Users agree to use the Website and communication channels responsibly and lawfully.

You must not:

• Submit knowingly false or misleading information.
• Upload malicious software or harmful files.
• Attempt unauthorised access to the Website or its systems.
• Interfere with Website security or operation.
• Use automated systems to abuse communication facilities.
• Send spam or unsolicited bulk communications.
• Misuse WhatsApp, RCS, telephone, email, or other communication channels.
• Submit another person’s confidential information without lawful authority.

Users are responsible for ensuring that documents and factual information supplied to Adv. Nitin Thakare are accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge.

8. Payment & Billing Terms

Professional fees, consultation charges, drafting charges, appearance fees, filing expenses, government fees, court fees, administrative expenses, and other applicable charges will be communicated separately where relevant.

Fees may depend on the nature, complexity, urgency, duration, jurisdiction, documentation requirements, and professional work involved in a matter.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, payment of a fee does not constitute a guarantee of success or a particular legal outcome.

Where an engagement letter, fee agreement, invoice, receipt, or written professional arrangement specifies different payment conditions, that document will govern the applicable financial terms to the extent of any inconsistency.

Clients are responsible for timely payment of agreed professional fees and authorised expenses.

No fee arrangement shall be interpreted as a promise that a case will be won or that a particular authority or court will issue a desired decision.

9. Subscription Renewal & Termination

Adv. Nitin Thakare is primarily engaged in professional legal services rather than subscription-based software services. However, where a recurring digital communication, consultation, membership, document-support, or other subscription-type arrangement is expressly offered, its renewal, fees, duration, and cancellation terms will be communicated before or at the time of enrollment.

A recurring arrangement may be terminated by either party in accordance with the applicable engagement terms.

Termination of a digital communication arrangement does not automatically terminate professional duties relating to an existing legal matter.

Where a professional engagement is terminated, applicable professional rules, court procedures, client interests, pending deadlines, and obligations relating to client documents and funds will continue to apply.

10. Use of WhatsApp Official API & RCS

Adv. Nitin Thakare may use WhatsApp Business communication infrastructure and/or RCS-enabled business messaging to communicate with individuals who have provided their contact details or otherwise legitimately initiated communication.

Such channels may be used for:

• Appointment-related communication.
• Enquiry acknowledgements.
• Case or matter-related updates where appropriate.
• Document-related communication.
• Service information.
• Important administrative notifications.
• Requests for information or confirmation.
• Other communications permitted under applicable law and platform policies.

WhatsApp and RCS are third-party communication technologies. Their availability, delivery, functionality, security features, and operating rules may be affected by Meta, Google, telecom operators, messaging providers, device manufacturers, network operators, or other third parties.

Adv. Nitin Thakare does not control third-party platform policies, outages, delivery failures, account restrictions, spam classifications, network interruptions, or technical changes.

Users should not send highly sensitive or urgent legal information through a messaging platform unless specifically instructed or authorised to do so.

For urgent legal deadlines, court matters, or matters requiring formal service, users should use the appropriate legally recognised communication method.

11. Message Delivery & Compliance Policy

All WhatsApp and RCS communications should comply with applicable law, platform policies, telecom requirements, and professional standards.

Messages may be sent only where there is a lawful and appropriate basis for communication.

Adv. Nitin Thakare will seek to avoid unsolicited, deceptive, misleading, abusive, or excessive messaging.

Where appropriate, users may be provided with an option to stop receiving non-essential communications.

Users can request discontinuation of communications by contacting Adv. Nitin Thakare at 9823091591 or Vandanathakare@gmail.com, subject to legally necessary or service-critical communications.

Message delivery is not guaranteed. A message may be delayed, blocked, filtered, rejected, or otherwise unavailable due to circumstances beyond reasonable control.

No WhatsApp or RCS message should be treated as proof of legal service, formal court communication, statutory notice, or receipt of a legal document unless the applicable law expressly recognises the particular method for that purpose.

12. Intellectual Property Rights

Unless otherwise stated, the Website’s original text, structure, design, branding, graphics, logos, documents, and other materials are owned by or lawfully used by Adv. Nitin Thakare.

Users may access the Website for legitimate personal or professional informational purposes.

No material may be reproduced, republished, commercially exploited, modified, distributed, or copied without appropriate permission, except where permitted by law.

Third-party trademarks, names, logos, and platform references remain the property of their respective owners.

Nothing in these Terms grants users ownership of any intellectual property belonging to Adv. Nitin Thakare or third parties.

13. Confidentiality

Legal professional confidentiality is an important part of the relationship between an advocate and client.

However, submitting information through a website contact form, WhatsApp, RCS, email, social media, or another public or third-party communication platform does not by itself establish an advocate-client relationship.

Users should avoid unnecessarily submitting confidential, privileged, financial, identity, medical, or other sensitive information through public forms or channels until appropriate communication arrangements have been established.

Once a professional engagement is established, confidentiality will be maintained subject to applicable professional rules and law.

Confidentiality may be subject to legally recognised exceptions, including circumstances where disclosure is required or permitted by law, court order, regulatory requirement, or professional obligation.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Website and its general informational content are provided on an “as available” basis.

Adv. Nitin Thakare does not warrant that:

• The Website will always be available or uninterrupted.
• Every page will remain current.
• All information will be suitable for every legal situation.
• Third-party communication platforms will always function.
• Messages will always be delivered.
• A legal matter will have a particular outcome.
• A court, tribunal, authority, opposing party, or other decision-maker will act in a particular manner.

Legal outcomes depend on facts, evidence, applicable law, procedural circumstances, judicial discretion, opposing parties, government authorities, and numerous other factors.

No statement on this Website should be interpreted as a guarantee of success.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Adv. Nitin Thakare will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or unforeseeable losses arising solely from access to or inability to access the Website or third-party communication platforms.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable Indian law.

Users remain responsible for maintaining copies of documents and information submitted through online channels where appropriate.

No liability limitation shall be interpreted as limiting professional obligations that cannot legally or ethically be limited.

16. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, a user agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Adv. Nitin Thakare from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising from the user’s:

• Unlawful use of the Website.
• Misrepresentation of facts or identity.
• Unauthorised submission of another person’s information.
• Violation of these Terms.
• Misuse of communication platforms.
• Infringement of third-party rights.
• Submission of malicious or unlawful material.

This provision will not apply to the extent a claim results from fraud, wilful misconduct, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

17. Governing Law (India)

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws applicable in India.

Subject to applicable law, courts and competent authorities having jurisdiction over Nashik, Maharashtra may have jurisdiction over disputes arising from the Website or these Terms.

Nothing in this clause limits mandatory jurisdictional rules applicable to a specific legal proceeding or professional matter.

Professional conduct and disciplinary matters involving an advocate shall remain subject to applicable rules, authorities, and jurisdiction governing the legal profession.
