2. Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using this website you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should not use this website.
3. No Legal Advice
The content of this website is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal or professional advice, nor an offer to provide legal services. The information presented may not reflect the most current legal developments, may not apply to your particular circumstances, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for independent, qualified legal advice.
You should always seek the advice of a qualified legal professional in relation to any specific legal matter before taking, or refraining from, any action.
4. No Attorney–Client Relationship
Use of this website — including browsing its content, or sending us an enquiry by email using an address published on it — does not create an attorney–client (advocate–client) relationship between you and the Firm.
An attorney–client relationship is established only upon execution of a formal written engagement agreement signed by both parties. Until such an agreement is in place, you should not send us any confidential, privileged or time-sensitive information through this website, by email, or otherwise, as no duty of confidentiality arises and we cannot guarantee its protection. Unsolicited information sent to us before an engagement is established will not be treated as confidential and will not preclude the Firm from acting for another party.
5. Intellectual Property
All content on this website — including text, graphics, logos, images, layout and design elements — is the property of C. Topouzis & Associates or its licensors and is protected by Cyprus and international copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. The Firm’s name, logo and branding are protected, and no right or licence to use them is granted by your use of this website.
You may:
- view and print pages for your personal, non-commercial use; and
- share reasonable extracts with colleagues or clients, provided you acknowledge the source and include a reference to this disclaimer.
All other use, reproduction, modification, republication or distribution of the content requires our prior written consent.
6. Accuracy and No Warranties
While we take reasonable care to ensure that the information on this website is accurate and up to date, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability or currency of any content.
The content may be amended, updated or removed at any time without prior notice, and may not reflect the current state of the law. The website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, and we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, the Firm, its partners, associates, employees and agents shall not be liable for any loss or damage (whether direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise) arising from or in connection with:

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
This clause concerns liability arising from use of the website only. The Firm’s responsibility in respect of legal services actually provided to a client is governed exclusively by the terms of the relevant written engagement agreement.
