2. Use of This Website
This website is provided for general information purposes. You are permitted to access and use it for your personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:
- Use any automated means to access, scrape, or index any part of the website.
- Transmit any material that is unlawful, harmful, offensive, or otherwise objectionable.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site or its underlying systems.
- Reproduce, distribute, or republish content from this website without our prior written permission.
We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to any part of this website at any time and without notice.
3. Website Content Is Not Legal Advice
Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice, and nothing on it creates or implies a solicitor-client relationship between Familis and any person. The information provided is general in nature and may not apply to your particular circumstances.
You should not act on the basis of any information on this website without first seeking qualified legal advice from a practitioner who understands your specific situation. If you would like to discuss your circumstances with us, please use the contact details provided.
4. Our Services
The terms on which we provide family law advisory services — including the scope of the engagement, responsibilities, and the basis of our relationship — are set out in the engagement letter issued to you at the commencement of an instruction. These website terms of use do not form part of that engagement letter and do not affect it.
We accept instructions only after completing necessary conflict-of-interest checks and upon receipt of a signed engagement letter. An enquiry made through this website, or a preliminary consultation, does not by itself constitute an engagement.
5. Fees and Payment
Our fees for specific services are as indicated on this website and confirmed in the engagement letter. Fees are quoted in Malaysian Ringgit and are subject to applicable taxes where required by law.
Payment terms, invoicing arrangements, and provisions relating to disbursements are described in the engagement letter. We reserve the right to pause work if agreed payments are not received in accordance with agreed terms.
6. Confidentiality
We treat all information disclosed to us in the course of an engagement as confidential. Our confidentiality obligations extend to the fact of the engagement itself, the subject matter of instructions, and all materials prepared in the course of our work.
Confidentiality obligations do not apply where disclosure is required by applicable law, court order, or the rules of a regulatory body to which we are subject, or where you have given your prior written consent to a specific disclosure.
7. Intellectual Property
All content on this website — including text, design, layout, and images — is the property of Familis or is used with permission. It is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Documents prepared for you in the course of an engagement are provided for your personal use in connection with that engagement. They may not be reproduced, adapted, or relied upon by third parties without our written agreement.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Familis excludes liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on information contained on this website. This exclusion does not apply to liability arising from our advisory services, which is addressed separately in the engagement letter.
We do not warrant that this website will be available at all times, that it will be free from error, or that it is free from viruses or other harmful components. We are not liable for any interruption to or unavailability of the website.
9. Links to Third-Party Websites
This website may contain links to third-party websites for convenience. We do not endorse, control, or accept responsibility for the content of any third-party site. Accessing linked sites is at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of those sites.
10. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Malaysia. Any dispute arising in connection with these terms or the use of this website shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Malaysia.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. Continued use of this website after any such update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
