Refund Policy: Fees paid prior to commencement are non-refundable once work has begun. If we are unable to continue an engagement through our own fault, a pro-rata refund of unused fees will be issued.

7. Disclaimers

Our services constitute legal advisory support, not legal representation before courts unless expressly agreed. Legal outcomes depend on factors outside our control. We make no representation about specific results. Information on our website is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. You should seek specific legal advice for your circumstances.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted under Vietnamese law, our aggregate liability for any claim arising from a service engagement is limited to the total fees paid for that engagement. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or special damages, loss of business opportunity, or loss of profit. This limitation does not apply to liability for fraud or gross negligence.

We maintain strict professional confidentiality over all client information and engagement materials, consistent with Vietnamese legal professional obligations. We will not disclose client information to third parties except as required by law or with your explicit written consent.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement by providing 14 days' written notice. Upon termination, you are responsible for fees corresponding to work completed to the termination date. We reserve the right to terminate immediately if: you provide materially false information, fail to pay invoices, or ask us to act contrary to our professional obligations. Termination of an engagement does not affect confidentiality obligations, which survive indefinitely.

11. Dispute Resolution

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updated terms will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. For ongoing engagements, material changes will be communicated in writing. Continued use of our services following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
