Terms of Use and Privacy Policy

Article 1 – Subject Matter

These Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) govern access to and use of the Website, including all information, texts, graphics, photographs, forms and other content made available on it (the “Content”).

In addition to these Terms of Use, please also review the Privacy Policy (Part II of this document) and the separate Cookie Policy available on the Website.

Article 2 – Nature of the Website Content

THESE TERMS OF USE AND THE CONTENT OF THE WEBSITE GOVERN SOLELY YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE. THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE AND DO NOT CREATE AN ADVISOR-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. The information on the Website (including descriptions of our practice areas in crypto regulation, fintech, deep tech, startup and venture capital advisory) is of a general nature and provided for informational purposes only.

Before Lemur Legal takes on any specific legal matter on your behalf, an appropriate engagement agreement will be entered into with you, setting out the scope of services and the parties’ respective rights and obligations. Until such an agreement is signed, no contractual or other legal relationship arises between you and Lemur Legal that would obligate Lemur Legal to provide services on your behalf.

Article 3 – Restrictions on Use

Lemur Legal grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the Website for personal, non-commercial purposes, in accordance with these Terms of Use and applicable law.

You agree not to use the Website for any purpose that is unlawful, inconsistent with these Terms of Use, or manifestly contrary to the purpose and activity of Lemur Legal. In particular, it is prohibited to: (i) use automated tools, bots or similar software to gather data on other users’ use of the Website or to determine their identity; (ii) place a disproportionate or excessive burden on the Website or related infrastructure; (iii) disrupt or attempt to disrupt the proper operation of the Website; (iv) attempt to circumvent any access-restriction measures applied to the Website.

Lemur Legal reserves the right to investigate reported violations of these Terms of Use and to take appropriate action, which may include notifying competent law-enforcement authorities or regulators.

Article 4 – Enquiries and User-Submitted Content

The Website allows you to submit enquiries, questions and requests for legal opinions (e.g. via the contact form or the form for ordering a legal opinion for a utility token or meme coin). All content you submit to Lemur Legal (“User Content”) is submitted at your own responsibility.

By submitting an enquiry, you confirm that the information provided is accurate and complete. Lemur Legal is not liable for any damage arising from your reliance on any response provided prior to the conclusion of an engagement agreement, as such pre-engagement communication does not constitute legal advice.

User Content is treated as confidential and used solely for the purposes described in the Privacy Policy (Part II).

Article 5 – Intellectual Property Rights

The Website and its Content, including the Lemur Legal name and trademark, logo, texts, graphics, photographs and other elements, are the intellectual property of Lemur Legal or its authors and are protected under applicable copyright and industrial property law. Use of the Content without the prior express written consent of Lemur Legal is prohibited, except to the extent expressly permitted by these Terms of Use or mandatory law.

Third parties may reference the Lemur Legal name solely in connection with services actually rendered to them by Lemur Legal, and within the bounds of good business practice. Any other use of the Lemur Legal trademark, name or logo requires the Company’s prior written consent. Any use that could create the impression that Lemur Legal sponsors, endorses, or is otherwise affiliated with your products, services or activities, where this is not the case, is prohibited.

Article 6 – Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

Lemur Legal endeavours to ensure the accuracy and currency of the content on the Website but does not warrant its complete accuracy, completeness or currency. The Website Content is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Lemur Legal is not liable for any indirect or consequential damages (including loss of profit, data or goodwill) arising from access to the Website, the inability to use it, or reliance on its content, except in cases of intent or gross negligence on the part of Lemur Legal, or where liability cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory provisions of Slovenian law.

This Article does not affect Lemur Legal’s liability arising from any specific engagement agreement concluded with you.

Article 7 – Suspension of Access

Lemur Legal reserves the right, at any time, to deny or restrict, in whole or in part, access to the Website to any individual it reasonably believes: (i) has breached these Terms of Use, (ii) creates a legal or security risk for Lemur Legal, or (iii) is acting in a manner manifestly contrary to the purpose of the Website. Lemur Legal will endeavour to notify the affected person of such a decision by e-mail, where possible.

Article 8 – Third-Party Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites. Such websites are not under the control of Lemur Legal, and Lemur Legal accepts no responsibility for their content, privacy practices or policies. The presence of a link does not imply any endorsement, approval, or affiliation of Lemur Legal with such website.
