Terms of use

Not yet a client

Contacting Advocacy Forever Network, submitting the enquiry form, or receiving a callback does not, on its own, create a client relationship or a solicitor-client relationship. Information provided through this website is general in nature and does not constitute legal advice. A formal client relationship, where applicable, begins only once we confirm this to you in writing, following our triage process.

The nature of our service

Advocacy Forever Network is a Community Interest Company. Our case advisors provide information, signposting, and structured casework support. Our advisors are legally trained, and some are qualified solicitors. We provide non-reserved legal assistance up until the point your case requires reserved legal work. If we can't resolve your issue before it reaches the litigation stage, we'll refer you to our panel of and or network of solicitors who can take on the litigation work, and we'll continue to support you every step of the way.

Referrals and fees

Where we refer your matter to a panel solicitor, this will be explained to you in advance, including any costs.

Exclusion of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws we, on behalf of our employees and volunteers, exclude liability for any losses and expenses of whatever nature and howsoever arising including, without limitation, any direct, indirect, special, punitive, or consequential damages, loss of use, loss of data, loss caused by a virus, loss of income or profit, loss of or damage to property, claims of third parties, or other losses of any kind or character, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages or losses, arising out of or in connection with the use of this website or any website with which it is linked. You assume total responsibility for establishing such procedures for data back-up and virus checking as you consider necessary. Price and availability of information, materials, products and/or services is subject to change without notice.

Indemnity and release

You agree to indemnify, release and hold us harmless, as well as our officers, directors, agents, representatives and employees, from any claim, liability, loss, expense or demand, including legal fees, related to your violation of these Terms of Use or your access or use of this website or any of the information, materials, products or services available through this website.

We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify, edit, delete, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, this website (or any portion thereof) and/or the information, materials, products and/or services available through this website (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, editing, deletion, suspension or discontinuance of this website.

Entire understanding

These Terms of Use contain the entire understanding between you and us with respect to this website, and no representation, statement or inducement, oral or written, not contained herein shall bind any party to this agreement. Should any part of these terms for any reason be declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion, and such remaining portion shall remain in full force and effect as if the invalid portion of these terms had been eliminated. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision.
