1. Scope and Acceptance
These Terms govern access to and use of the website of Stoychev, Dr Valkov & Co, including its legal materials, team and service information, contact form, document attachment facility and links to external resources. By using the website, you confirm that you will use it lawfully and in good faith.
2. Information Only
The content is general information. It is not individual legal or tax advice, a legal opinion, procedural strategy or a recommendation to take or refrain from a particular action. Legal assessment depends on the facts, evidence, applicable law, deadlines and current judicial and administrative practice.
3. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Visiting the website, making a telephone call, sending an email or submitting the contact form does not itself create an attorney-client relationship or constitute acceptance of an engagement. An engagement begins only after the necessary checks, the firm's express confirmation and agreement on the scope and terms of the legal assistance.
4. Conflicts of Interest
Before accepting an engagement, the firm may conduct conflict and professional-clearance checks. You may be asked for the names of parties and related persons and a general description of the matter. Receipt of that information does not mean that an engagement has been accepted.
5. Initial Communications and Confidentiality
The firm treats received information with professional care and in accordance with applicable confidentiality rules. Electronic communications and public networks cannot, however, be guaranteed as absolutely secure. Do not send originals, classified information, banking secrets or other particularly sensitive material before an appropriate channel and the engagement have been confirmed.
6. Documents and Attachments
The attachment facility is intended for preliminary information. Sending a file does not confirm its receipt, validity, authenticity or completeness and does not create an obligation to review it within a particular period. The sender is responsible for having the right to provide the document and the information it contains.
7. Deadlines and Urgent Action
The website and contact form are not channels for urgent procedural action. Sending a message does not suspend or interrupt any statutory, contractual, administrative or court deadline. Matters involving an imminent hearing, appeal, limitation period, interim measure or detention require immediate direct contact and express confirmation that the case has been accepted.
8. Scope, Fees and Costs
The scope of work, responsible lawyers, communications, fees, expenses and termination arrangements are agreed separately for each engagement. Website information is not a fee quotation. Court, notarial, translation, expert, travel, correspondent and other third-party costs may be payable separately.
9. No Guarantee of Outcome
Legal services are provided with professional care and independent judgment. No description of experience, publication or previous result constitutes a promise or guarantee regarding a future outcome.
10. Identification and Legal Compliance
For certain engagements, the firm may be required to establish a client's identity, beneficial ownership, source of funds and purpose of the relationship and to request supporting documents. Failure to provide required information may prevent the firm from accepting or continuing the engagement.
11. Other Professionals and Jurisdictions
International or specialist matters may require local lawyers, notaries, tax advisers, translators, experts or other professionals. Their appointment and terms are agreed with the client. General information about foreign law does not replace advice from a qualified professional in the relevant jurisdiction.
12. Intellectual Property and Permitted Use
Original texts, analyses, structure, graphics and branding are protected by applicable law. Reasonable quotation with clear attribution is permitted. Systematic copying, republication, automated extraction or commercial presentation as one's own requires prior permission unless applicable law provides otherwise.
13. Acceptable Use and Security
The website must not be used for unlawful purposes, unauthorised access, disruption, malware distribution, mass automated submissions, impersonation or unauthorised collection of personal data.
14. External Services
The website may contain third-party links or embedded content, including mapping services. They are provided for convenience and are governed by their own terms and policies. The firm does not control their availability, security or data processing.
15. Liability
Reasonable efforts are made to maintain the website and its information, but uninterrupted operation, absence of technical errors and complete currency cannot be guaranteed. To the extent permitted by law, the firm is not responsible for decisions based solely on general website content or for deadlines where no engagement has been expressly accepted.
16. Governing Law, Amendments and Contact
Bulgarian law applies to use of the website. These Terms may be updated when services, technologies or legal requirements change. Questions may be sent to [email protected].
