These Website Terms govern access to and use of this website and its public content. By using the website, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the website. These Terms do not replace a proposal, engagement letter, fee arrangement, confidentiality agreement, or other written agreement for professional services.

The website is operated by Leonard Corporate Solutions Pvt. Ltd. References to "Leonard", "we", "us", or "our" mean the website operator. References to "you" mean the person accessing the website and, where applicable, the organization on whose behalf that person acts.

Website content is general information. It is not legal, tax, financial, technical, or other professional advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice based on the facts of a specific matter.

Laws, procedures, official fees, forms, deadlines, treaty participation, registry practices, and interpretations can change and can vary by jurisdiction. Content may not reflect the most recent change. You remain responsible for obtaining advice, verifying deadlines and requirements, and making decisions appropriate to your circumstances.

Visiting the website, downloading content, calling, sending an email, using WhatsApp, or submitting an enquiry does not by itself create a lawyer-client, consultant-client, fiduciary, or other professional relationship.

A professional relationship begins only when Leonard has completed any required conflict, identity, eligibility, scope, and risk checks and has expressly accepted an engagement in writing. We may decline an enquiry or engagement and are not required to provide a reason where law or professional obligations do not require one.

Do not send privileged, highly sensitive, or time-critical information through the public website or other unsolicited channels. Information sent before an engagement is accepted may not be privileged and may not prevent us from acting for another person, subject to applicable law and professional obligations. If information must be shared for an initial assessment, provide only what is reasonably necessary and wait for instructions before sending documents or sensitive details.

The availability, provider, scope, staffing, jurisdiction, timing, assumptions, dependencies, fees, expenses, taxes, payment terms, confidentiality obligations, and deliverables for professional services are determined separately in writing.

If these Website Terms conflict with a signed engagement document concerning professional services, the engagement document controls for those services. An engagement for one matter does not automatically extend to another matter, affiliate, person, jurisdiction, filing, renewal, monitoring activity, appeal, dispute, or deadline.

Leonard maintains professional indemnity insurance. The existence of insurance does not expand the scope of an engagement, create a guarantee, or alter any lawful limitation or allocation of responsibility agreed in writing.

Where professional services are provided by advocates, those individuals are enrolled with the relevant State Bar Council and remain subject to the Advocates Act, 1961, applicable Bar Council of India Rules, and relevant State Bar Council requirements. References to professionals who appear or are qualified to practise before particular courts describe the status or experience of those individuals; they do not imply endorsement by, affiliation with, or special influence over any court, tribunal, registry, government body, or regulator.

The professionals responsible for a matter, their role, the services included, and any use of external advocates, consultants, or associates are identified or governed through the applicable engagement documentation.

Descriptions of experience, processes, options, timelines, examples, testimonials, or previous matters do not guarantee a result. Outcomes depend on facts, evidence, applicable law, authorities, courts, registries, counterparties, third-party providers, deadlines, instructions, and other circumstances beyond our control. Estimates and timelines are indicative unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

You may use the website for lawful, personal, internal-business, and informational purposes. You must not:

• Use the website to violate law, another person's rights, or a contractual or professional obligation.
• Attempt unauthorized access, probe security, bypass controls, introduce malware, overload infrastructure, or interfere with operation.
• Scrape, harvest, index, copy, monitor, or extract website content or personal data at scale without written permission, except as allowed by law.
• Misrepresent identity, authority, affiliation, instructions, or the origin of information.
• Use website content to train, develop, or benchmark a commercial model or competing content service without written permission.
• Remove notices, impersonate Leonard, frame the website misleadingly, or imply endorsement or government affiliation.
• Submit unlawful, defamatory, infringing, fraudulent, abusive, or malicious material.

Unless stated otherwise, the website's design, layout, text, graphics, original images, videos, software, databases, and other content are owned by or licensed to Leonard and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view and make a reasonable internal copy of public content for personal evaluation or internal business reference, provided notices remain intact. No other license is granted. Reproduction, adaptation, publication, distribution, public display, commercial use, or creation of derivative material requires prior written permission unless permitted by law. Third-party marks and materials remain the property of their respective owners.

You represent that information submitted through the website is accurate to the best of your knowledge, that you are authorized to provide it, and that doing so does not violate another person's rights or law. You grant us permission to use submitted information as reasonably necessary to review and respond to the enquiry, operate and secure our systems, comply with law, and administer any later engagement, subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable obligations.

The website may use or link to third-party platforms, maps, databases, registries, social networks, messaging services, review platforms, or other resources. They are provided for convenience or functionality. We do not control their availability, security, content, terms, or privacy practices and do not endorse all content found through them. Use of a third-party service is subject to that party's terms and policies.

We may change, correct, suspend, withdraw, restrict, or discontinue any part of the website without notice. We do not promise uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or continuously available access. We may block access where reasonably necessary for security, maintenance, legal compliance, investigation, misuse prevention, or protection of rights.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its public content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, merchantability, availability, or suitability. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Leonard and its directors, personnel, contractors, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential loss arising from website use, inability to use the website, reliance on public content, third-party services, data loss, business interruption, lost opportunity, or security events outside our reasonable control.

These website limitations do not determine liability under a separately signed engagement and do not exclude liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability arising from fraud or wilful misconduct where exclusion is prohibited.

To the extent permitted by law, you are responsible for loss, liability, or reasonable cost arising from your unlawful use of the website, material you submit without authority, infringement of another person's rights, or material breach of these Terms. We will take reasonable steps to mitigate recoverable loss and will not seek recovery where prohibited by law.

Our Privacy Policy explains how personal data is handled in connection with the website and enquiries. By submitting information, you acknowledge that Policy.

These Website Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to any mandatory law and any different written dispute provision governing a formal engagement, courts of competent jurisdiction in Mumbai, Maharashtra will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Website Terms or use of the website.

If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign rights under these Terms without written consent; we may assign them as part of a lawful restructuring or transfer of the website or business.

These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement concerning public website use, but do not replace written terms for professional services. Headings aid readability and do not change meaning.

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the website, law, services, providers, or risk controls. The revised version will be posted with an updated date. Continued use after an update means the revised Website Terms apply from the stated effective date, subject to applicable law.
