Terms

These terms govern your use of the Whitakr website at whitakr.com.au and describe the nature of our service. By using this site you accept these terms.

1. Our service

Whitakr provides merits-assessment services to law firms. We are not the instructing firm’s lawyers, we do not provide legal advice, and we do not act for claimants. We perform the merits workup and form a considered view; the instructing firm retains conduct of the matter and full discretion over what happens next.

2. No retainer created by this site

Using this site, making an enquiry, or submitting a case does not create a retainer, engagement or any obligation on either party. Any engagement is established only under a separate written agreement between Whitakr and the instructing firm.

3. Submitting materials

If you submit materials to us, you confirm that you are a legal practitioner or firm acting on a matter, and that you have the authority and any necessary consents to share those materials with us. Please do not submit material you are not entitled to share.

4. Confidentiality and privacy

We handle materials you provide in confidence and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

5. Intellectual property

The content, design and branding of this site are owned by Whitakr or its licensors and may not be reproduced without our permission.

6. No legal advice; information only

Information on this site is general in nature, is provided “as is”, and is not legal advice. You should not rely on it as a substitute for advice tailored to a particular matter.

7. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Whitakr excludes liability for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, this website. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or guarantees that cannot lawfully be excluded, including under the Australian Consumer Law.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.

9. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version will always appear on this page.

10. Contact
