Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the Attorneys 4 All (A4A) website. By using the website, you agree to comply with these terms. If you do not agree, you should not use the website.
About Attorneys 4 All
A4A is a Sierra Leone-based non-governmental organisation providing free legal services, legal information, advocacy, community outreach and related access-to-justice support.
General Information — Not Legal Advice
Information published on this website is provided for general information and public legal education. It does not constitute legal advice for your individual circumstances and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer.
No Automatic Lawyer-Client Relationship
Reading website content, contacting A4A or submitting information through a website form does not automatically create a lawyer-client relationship. Legal representation begins only after A4A formally accepts a matter and confirms the representation.
Eligibility for Legal Assistance
A4A's services are intended principally for people who cannot afford private legal representation and for vulnerable groups. Eligibility and acceptance may depend on financial need, vulnerability, the nature of the legal issue, geographic considerations, available resources, conflicts of interest, public policy and other relevant factors. A4A may accept or decline a request for assistance.
Website Submissions
Users should provide accurate and truthful information. A general website form should not be used to submit unnecessary sensitive evidence, full case files or confidential documents unless A4A specifically requests them through an approved process.
User Responsibilities
Users must not misuse the website, upload malicious or unlawful content, attempt to interfere with website operation or security, impersonate another person or organisation, or use the website in a way that violates applicable law.
Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, website content including text, logos, graphics, documents, publications, images, videos and website design is owned by or licensed to A4A and may be protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Materials may be viewed or downloaded for personal, educational or other permitted non-commercial purposes. Reproduction, sale, modification, republication or distribution may require prior written permission.
Donations
If A4A provides donation facilities through the website, donations are voluntary and will be used to support organisational programmes and operations in accordance with applicable requirements. Specific payment, refund and accountability terms should be displayed with any live donation facility.
Third-Party Services and Links
The website may contain links to external websites or services. A4A does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, availability, services, privacy practices or security. Use of third-party services is at the user's own risk and subject to the third party's terms.
Website Availability and Accuracy
A4A aims to keep website information useful and current but does not guarantee uninterrupted availability or that every item will be error-free or suitable for every purpose. Legal information may become outdated as laws, procedures and institutions change.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, A4A and its officers, staff, volunteers, partners and affiliates are not responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising solely from use of, inability to use, or reliance on general website information. Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Suspension or Restriction
A4A may restrict or suspend access to website services where necessary for security, unlawful conduct, misuse, operational requirements or violation of these terms.
Email Communications
A4A emails and attachments may contain confidential information intended only for the recipient. A person who receives an A4A email in error should notify the sender and delete it. Email transmission cannot be guaranteed to be secure, error-free or free of interference, and formal agreements are binding on A4A only when properly authorised.
Changes to These Terms
A4A may revise these Terms of Use from time to time. Updated terms will be published on the website and take effect from the date stated in the approved version.
