Website terms

1. Who operates this website

This website is operated by Wals Corporate Law B.V., trading as walslaw, a private limited liability company incorporated under Dutch law with its registered office at Walborg 2-A, 1082 AM Amsterdam, the Netherlands, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 95724508, VAT number NL867261754B01. The advocaten of Wals Corporate Law B.V. are registered with the Dutch Bar Association (Nederlandse orde van advocaten) and are subject to the professional rules and rules of conduct that apply to advocaten.

By accessing or using this website, visitors accept these terms. We ask visitors who do not accept them not to use the website.

2. No legal advice and no lawyer-client relationship

The content of this website is general information about Dutch corporate and M&A law and about our practice. It is not legal advice, it is not a substitute for legal advice, and it does not take account of individual circumstances. Visitors should not act, or refrain from acting, solely on the basis of the content of this website without obtaining advice on their own situation.

Using this website, sending us an email, or submitting a contact form does not create a lawyer-client relationship. We only act for a client once we have completed our conflict and client identification checks and confirmed an engagement in writing. Until then, we ask prospective clients not to send us confidential information. We cannot guarantee that it will be treated as confidential, and receiving it may prevent us from acting for them or for an existing client.

3. Accuracy and currency

We take care over the content of this website, but the law changes and pages are not updated continuously. We do not warrant that the information on this website is complete, accurate or current, and we accept no obligation to update it. Statutory references, deadlines and thresholds mentioned on this website should be verified against the current legislation before being relied on.

4. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Wals Corporate Law B.V. excludes liability for any loss or damage arising from or in connection with the use of, or reliance on, this website or its content, including any loss arising from the website being unavailable, containing errors, or containing material transmitted by third parties. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Dutch law, including liability for intent or deliberate recklessness.

Our liability in respect of services we provide to clients is governed by our general terms and conditions and by the engagement letter for the relevant matter, not by these website terms.

5. Links to other websites

This website may contain links to websites operated by others. Those links are provided for information only. We do not control those websites, we do not endorse their content, and we accept no liability for them or for any loss arising from their use.

6. Intellectual property

All content on this website, including text, layout, graphics, logos and the walslaw name, is protected by copyright, database rights and other intellectual property rights belonging to Wals Corporate Law B.V. or its licensors. Visitors may view, download and print pages for their own information and internal business use. They may not reproduce, republish, distribute or otherwise exploit any part of this website commercially without our prior written permission. Quoting a short extract with a clear attribution and a link to the source page is permitted.

7. Personal data and cookies

Our processing of personal data through this website, and our use of cookies, are described in our privacy and cookie statement. It should be read alongside these terms.

8. Availability

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of this website at any time without notice, and we do not warrant that the website will be available without interruption or free from errors, viruses or other harmful components.

9. Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms from time to time. The version published on this website at the time of use is the version that applies.

10. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by Dutch law. Disputes will be submitted exclusively to the competent court in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, without prejudice to any mandatory rule conferring jurisdiction elsewhere.
