Terms of Service

Last updated: January 2025

These Terms of Service govern your use of the PV Lawyers website and our provision of legal services. By using our website or engaging our services, you agree to these terms.

1. About PV Lawyers

PV Lawyers is an Australian legal practice specialising in immigration law. We are registered with the Legal Practice Number (LPN) 5511308 and operate under ABN 49 147 274 628.

2. Website Use

General Information Only

The information provided on this website is general in nature and is not intended to constitute legal advice. The content is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

No Solicitor-Client Relationship

Your use of this website does not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and PV Lawyers. A solicitor-client relationship is only established when we have agreed to act for you in writing, typically through a costs agreement or letter of engagement.

Accuracy of Information

While we endeavour to keep the information on this website accurate and up-to-date, immigration law is subject to frequent change. We do not warrant that the information on this website is current, complete, or accurate at any given time.

3. Legal Services

Engagement

Our provision of legal services is governed by a separate costs agreement and letter of engagement that will be provided to you before we commence work on your matter. These documents will set out the scope of our services, our fees, and your rights and obligations.

Professional Obligations

As Australian legal practitioners, we are bound by professional conduct rules and ethical obligations. We are required to act in your best interests, maintain confidentiality, and avoid conflicts of interest.

No Guarantee of Outcome

We cannot and do not guarantee the outcome of any visa application, appeal, or other immigration matter. The decision on visa applications rests with the Department of Home Affairs, and appeal outcomes are determined by the relevant tribunal or court. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

4. Enquiries and Communications

When you submit an enquiry through our website or contact us by other means, you consent to us contacting you to discuss your matter. Information provided in enquiries is treated confidentially, but please be aware that email and online communications may not be completely secure.

We aim to respond to enquiries within a reasonable timeframe. However, submitting an enquiry does not create a solicitor-client relationship or obligate us to provide legal advice or accept your matter.

5. Intellectual Property

All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, and images, is the property of PV Lawyers or our licensors and is protected by Australian and international intellectual property laws.

You may view and download content for personal, non-commercial use only. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or republish any content without our prior written consent.

6. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including government websites such as the Department of Home Affairs. These links are provided for convenience only. We do not endorse or accept responsibility for the content or practices of third-party websites.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PV Lawyers excludes all liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of this website or reliance on any information contained on it.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Australian Consumer Law or other applicable laws.

8. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PV Lawyers, its employees, and agents from any claims, losses, or damages arising from your breach of these terms or your use of this website.

9. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales for any disputes arising from these terms or your use of this website.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. The current version will always be available on our website. Your continued use of the website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

11. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
