1. General and Acceptance of the Terms
The website elyashivlaw.co.il (the "Website") is operated by Adv. Or Elyashiv (the "Firm"). Browsing the Website and using its services constitute your acceptance of these Terms of Use and of the Website's Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of them. If you do not agree to these terms, please refrain from using the Website.
2. The Website and Its Services
The Website is intended to present general information about the Firm and its practice areas, to publish professional content and articles, and to enable you to contact the Firm. In addition, the Website may from time to time include interactive tools — including questionnaires and preliminary assessment tools — that provide a preliminary informational deliverable based on the data you have entered. The Website also enables the purchase of the Firm's services, after the Firm has sent the client a personal offer and a dedicated purchase link, as detailed in section 5 below.
3. No Legal Advice and No Attorney-Client Relationship
The content on the Website — including articles, guides and the deliverables of the questionnaires and interactive tools on the Website — is general information only, and does not constitute legal advice or a substitute for legal advice that takes into account the full circumstances of a specific case.
Using the Website, filling in a questionnaire, sending an inquiry or receiving any deliverable from the Website does not create an attorney-client relationship between the user and the Firm, and does not give rise to any duty of representation or handling. An engagement with the Firm will be formed only after a conflict-of-interest check and upon written approval of engagement terms, including electronic approval as detailed in section 5 below.
The Firm keeps confidential all information provided to it through the Website, in accordance with the Privacy Policy. The duties of privilege and professional confidentiality that apply to lawyers — including with respect to inquiries from prospective clients — apply in accordance with the provisions of law and to the extent set out therein, and nothing in this section derogates from them.
4. Questionnaires, Interactive Tools and Their Deliverables
The questionnaires and interactive tools on the Website produce a preliminary and indicative assessment only, based solely on the answers you entered, as you entered them, and without any independent review or verification of the data. Accordingly:
- The result is not a binding legal determination of your legal position or of your obligations under law (including, for example, the classification of the business or the security level that applies to it);
- Incorrect, partial or outdated answers will lead to a result that does not reflect your actual situation;
- The result should not be relied upon as a basis for taking, or refraining from, any action without individual legal advice;
- To the extent that the deliverable refers to a possible scope of service, this is preliminary information only, which does not bind the Firm, and any engagement is subject to section 3 above.
You undertake to provide correct, accurate and up-to-date information in the forms and questionnaires on the Website, and not to provide information about another person without lawful authorization.
5. Purchase of Services on the Website
This section applies to the online purchase, on the Website, of legal services from the Firm (the "Service"). A purchase on the Website is possible only after the Firm has sent the client, by email, a personal offer and a dedicated purchase link. Each Service is also subject to the terms of engagement for the provision of that Service, which are presented to the client and approved by the client before payment, including their annexes (the "Engagement Terms"). The personal offer and the Engagement Terms set out the nature of the Service, its scope, the timelines and the manner of delivery. A copy of the approved Engagement Terms is sent to the client by email. In the event of any conflict between this section and the Engagement Terms, the Engagement Terms prevail.
5.1 Who May Purchase a Service
- The Service is intended for businesses only (companies, corporations, partnerships, non-profit associations (amutot) and sole proprietors), and is purchased for the purposes of the business. It is not intended for purchase for personal, household or family use.
- A Service may be purchased only by a person who is at least 18 years old, has legal capacity, and is authorized to bind the business on whose behalf they approve the Engagement Terms.
- By approving the Engagement Terms, the approving person declares that they are authorized to undertake obligations on behalf of the business, as set out in the Engagement Terms, and that the Service is purchased for the purposes of the business and not for personal, household or family use.
- The Service is provided under Israeli law. Advice under foreign law is not part of the Service, unless the personal offer expressly provides otherwise.
5.2 Purchase and Payment
- The Service is purchased on the basis of a personal offer that the Firm sends to the client by email, containing a dedicated link to the purchase page on the Website. On that page the client selects a track (if the offer includes more than one track), fills in the invoice details and approves the Engagement Terms.
- The amount payable for the Service is the amount stated in the personal offer sent to the client by email, for the selected track, plus VAT as required by law.
- Payment is made on a secure payment page of the payment processor. Payment method details are provided to the payment processor only; they do not reach the Firm and are not stored by it. A tax invoice/receipt is issued against the payment.
- Approving the Engagement Terms and making the payment constitute the client's request to engage the Firm. After the payment, the Firm checks whether there is a conflict of interest or any other impediment to taking on the matter. The engagement takes effect, the provision of the Service begins and an attorney-client relationship is formed only when the Firm sends the client an email notice approving the engagement (the "Approval Notice").
5.3 Cancellation and Refunds
- Before payment: you may stop at any stage. As long as no payment has been made, no charge is made.
- From payment until the Approval Notice is sent: the client may cancel their request at any time and will receive the full amount paid. The Approval Notice is usually sent within one business day of payment.
- If the Firm does not approve the engagement (for example, due to a conflict of interest), it will notify the client by email and refund the full amount paid.
- After the Approval Notice is sent, the Service has already begun and the amount paid is not refunded. This applies even if the client chooses not to provide the information required for the provision of the Service, not to use the deliverables of the Service, or to terminate the engagement.
- If the Firm terminates the engagement after it has begun, for reasons permitted to it under the law and the rules of professional ethics, it will refund to the client the amount paid for the part of the Service that was not provided.
How to submit a cancellation request: by written notice sent by email to office@elyashivlaw.co.il, stating the name of the business and the offer number.
Refunds: a refund will be made to the payment method used for the payment, within 10 business days.
The cancellation provisions of the Consumer Protection Law do not apply: the Service is sold to businesses only and for business purposes, and therefore the purchaser is not a "consumer" as defined in the Consumer Protection Law, 5741-1981. The provisions of that Law and of the regulations enacted under it regarding the cancellation of a distance sale, including section 14C of the Law and the Consumer Protection Regulations (Cancellation of Transaction), 5771-2010, do not apply to the purchase of the Service. The cancellation and refund rights that apply to the Service are those set out in this section and in the Engagement Terms.
The full terms of cancellation, termination of the engagement and refunds are set out in the Engagement Terms.
5.4 Delivery of the Service
The Service is provided online and involves no physical shipment. The stages of delivery are:
- After payment, a payment confirmation and a tax invoice/receipt are sent to the client by email.
- After the conflict-of-interest check, the Approval Notice is sent, containing instructions for the next steps, including the way in which the client provides the Firm with the information required for the provision of the Service.
- The delivery date of the deliverables of the Service is set in the personal offer and in the Engagement Terms. If the Firm contacts the client with clarification questions, the count of days is suspended from the time of that contact until a complete answer is received.
- The deliverables of the Service are delivered by email or via a secure link.
- To the extent that the Service includes calls with Adv. Or Elyashiv, by video or by phone, they are coordinated in advance at a time convenient for both parties.
The scope of the Service, the full timelines and the option to request corrections are set out in the personal offer and in the Engagement Terms.
5.5 The Firm's Responsibility for the Service
- The Firm is responsible for the Service it provides in accordance with the law and the rules of professional ethics that apply to lawyers. Nothing in these terms or in the Engagement Terms derogates from the Firm's professional liability for the Service ordered from it and provided by it.
- Every document the Firm delivers as part of the Service is personally reviewed by Adv. Or Elyashiv before it is delivered. An error by the Firm in a document will be corrected by the Firm, as set out in the Engagement Terms.
- The scope of the Service — that is, what is included in it and what is not — is defined in the personal offer and in the Engagement Terms. A service not listed in them is not part of the engagement.
- The Service is provided on the basis of the information provided by the client, in the ways set out in the Engagement Terms, and on the basis of that information only. The Service does not include an independent review of the accuracy of the information provided, unless the personal offer expressly provides otherwise. A deliverable prepared on the basis of incorrect, partial or outdated information may not suit the business.
- The deliverables of the Service are tailored to the situation of the business as described to the Firm and to the law as it stands on the date of delivery. Implementing the deliverables in the business is the client's responsibility.
