Website Terms & Conditions

1. About these terms

This website is operated by Kharel Law Group Pty Ltd (Kharel Law Group, we, us or our), the corporate entity behind legal and community-facing brands including Emigrate Lawyers, eFamily Lawyers, Kharel Lawyers and Nepali Lawyer Australia.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

2. General information—not legal advice

Website content is provided for general information and education only. It is not legal advice, migration advice or a substitute for advice about your particular circumstances. Laws, policies, procedures and time limits can change, and information may not remain complete or current.

You should obtain advice from an appropriately qualified professional before acting or refraining from acting in reliance on website content. Nothing on this website guarantees any legal, migration, commercial or other outcome.

3. No lawyer–client relationship

Accessing this website, making an enquiry, booking a consultation or sending information does not by itself create a lawyer–client relationship or require us to act. A retainer begins only when we have completed necessary checks, agreed in writing to act and any applicable costs agreement or engagement terms have been accepted.

Do not send urgent or highly confidential material until you have received confirmation that the relevant legal practice can consider it. Receipt of information does not prevent us from acting for another person, subject always to our professional and legal obligations.

If a costs agreement, engagement letter or other client terms apply, those documents prevail over these website terms to the extent of any inconsistency.

4. Accuracy and availability

We take reasonable care in preparing website content but do not warrant that it is complete, accurate, current, suitable for a particular purpose or continuously available. We may change, remove or suspend content or functionality without notice.

To the extent permitted by law, we exclude warranties, representations and liability arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on this website. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

5. Links and third-party services

This website may link to government agencies, courts, tribunals, professional bodies, social platforms, service providers and other third-party websites. Links are provided for convenience and do not amount to endorsement. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security or privacy practices.

6. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, website content—including text, branding, graphics, layouts, photographs and downloadable materials—is owned by or licensed to Kharel Law Group and is protected by intellectual property laws.

You may view, print or download reasonable extracts for personal, non-commercial use, provided you do not alter the content or remove attribution. You must not reproduce, publish, adapt, distribute, commercially exploit or use our branding without prior written permission, except as permitted by law.

You must not use this website to:

• break any law or infringe another person’s rights;
• introduce malicious code, interfere with security or disrupt the website;
• attempt unauthorised access to systems, data or accounts;
• scrape, harvest or use automated tools in a way that imposes an unreasonable burden;
• misrepresent your identity or relationship with Kharel Law Group; or
• send unsolicited commercial electronic messages to addresses published on the website.

8. Communications, scams and fraud

Publication of an email address or telephone number is for legitimate professional communication and does not constitute consent to unsolicited marketing.

Criminals may impersonate legal practices or their personnel. Confirm unexpected requests for money, sensitive information or changed bank details using a trusted telephone number. We are not responsible for communications that do not originate from our authorised systems or personnel.

9. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information obtained through this website and our services.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Subject to any law that cannot be excluded, the courts of Victoria and courts entitled to hear appeals from them have non-exclusive jurisdiction over disputes concerning these terms or use of the website.

11. Changes and severability

We may update these terms from time to time by publishing a revised version on this page. If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be read down or severed to the extent necessary without affecting the remaining provisions.
