Website Terms & Disclaimer

1. General information only

The content of this website, including articles and practice-area descriptions, is general information about New Zealand law and OneLegal's services. It is not legal advice and should not be relied on as such. Law and practice change, and the information may not reflect the most recent developments or apply to your circumstances. Obtain advice on your own situation before acting.

2. No lawyer-client relationship

Sending an enquiry through this website, by email or by phone does not mean OneLegal has accepted an engagement. Do not assume OneLegal acts for you unless we have confirmed in writing that we have accepted the engagement. Until that confirmation, you remain responsible for protecting your position and meeting any applicable deadlines.

3. Confidential information

Do not send confidential, privileged or sensitive documents through the website forms. Provide only the information requested so we can assess whether we can act. If OneLegal does not accept the engagement, we may retain limited identifying information for conflict-check purposes and will otherwise handle the information you provide in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

4. Urgent matters

If a court date, settlement date, notice period or other deadline is imminent, call us on 09 918 9191 rather than relying on a form or email.

5. Articles and dates

Where an article displays an author, publication date or review date, that information indicates the article's recorded authorship or review status at that time. Articles are not updated for every change in the law and may become out of date.

6. Third-party links and content

Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for their content.

7. Intellectual property

Content on this website is owned by One Legal Limited or used under licence. You may view and print it for personal, non-commercial use. Reproduction or distribution requires our written permission.

8. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, One Legal Limited excludes liability for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, this website or its content. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability, right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

9. Regulatory

One Legal Limited is an incorporated law firm in New Zealand. Lawyers providing legal services through the firm are subject to the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006 and the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act (Lawyers: Conduct and Client Care) Rules 2008. Where OneLegal accepts an engagement, the client is provided with the information required under those Rules, including information concerning fees, professional indemnity arrangements, the Lawyers' Fidelity Fund and the firm's complaints process.

These terms are governed by New Zealand law.
