Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Shield Law Firm (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “the Firm”). By accessing our website (shelawfirm.in) or engaging our legal services, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services.

1. Legal services & no-refund policy

Shield Law Firm provides legal advice, representation, and related services. All fees paid for consultation, documentation, representation, or any other legal service are non-refundable once the service has been rendered or work has commenced. This includes but is not limited to:

• Initial consultation fees.
• Retainers and advance fees.
• Court filing fees and process serving charges (once incurred).
• Any payment made after engagement of the Firm.

We do not guarantee any specific outcome in any legal matter. No refund will be issued because a client is dissatisfied with a court order, settlement, or advice given, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

2. No attorney–client relationship without engagement

Browsing our website, filling out a contact form, or having a preliminary telephone conversation does not create an attorney–client relationship. A formal engagement letter signed by both parties is required for the Firm to represent you.

3. Use of website

All content on this website (text, images, logos, journal posts) is the intellectual property of Shield Law Firm. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute any content without written permission. Unauthorised use may result in legal action.

4. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Indian law, Shield Law Firm shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the website or from our legal services, except in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct. In no event shall our total liability exceed the fees paid by you to us in the six months preceding the claim.

5. Payment terms

All fees must be paid in advance unless otherwise agreed in writing. We accept bank transfers, UPI, and other digital modes. Any dishonoured cheque or failed transaction will attract additional charges as per law.

6. Confidentiality

We are bound by professional ethics to maintain client confidentiality. However, no method of communication over the internet (email, WhatsApp, contact forms) is entirely secure. By communicating with us electronically, you accept this risk.

7. Third-party links

Our website may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.

8. Governing law & dispute resolution

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of India. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.

Disputes (other than those seeking injunctive relief) shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith mediation. If mediation fails, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The arbitration shall be conducted in Ghaziabad in English.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance.
