About this site
This site is operated by Geoffrey Caesar, a solicitor regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). Contact: geoffrey@caesar.co.uk. Regulatory information about my practice is set out on the Regulatory page of this site.
These terms apply to the site, not to legal services
These terms cover only your use of caesar.co.uk. They do not govern any legal services I provide. Where I am instructed to act, the contract for those services is set out in a separate engagement letter and accompanying terms of business, which are provided and agreed at the point of engagement. Nothing on this site, and nothing in these terms, creates a solicitor-client relationship.
Information on the site is not legal advice
The content on this site is published for general information and commentary only. It is not legal advice and must not be relied on as such. Legal questions are fact-specific, the law changes, and what is published here may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong for your circumstances. If you have a legal issue, take advice on your facts from a solicitor or other appropriately qualified adviser before acting.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from any reliance placed on the content of this site by you or anyone else.

The site may contain links to third-party websites. Those links are provided for convenience only. I do not control the content of those sites, do not endorse them, and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

Limitation of liability
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes my liability for: death or personal injury caused by negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded as a matter of English law.
Subject to the paragraph above, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:
- I accept no liability for any loss or damage, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, this site, or any reliance placed on its content;

Privacy and cookies
My use of personal data collected through the site (including newsletter subscriptions and any contact you make through the site) is governed by my privacy policy, which is published separately on this site.

Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter (including non-contractual disputes or claims), are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
General
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest of the terms remain in force. A failure or delay by me in enforcing any term is not a waiver of my right to enforce it later. These terms are between you and me; no third party has any right to enforce them under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
