1. Acceptance and website operator

These terms apply to your use of https://www.theblackoaklegal.com. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website. The website is operated by Black Oak Legal, a Nigerian legal practice based in Ibadan, Oyo State.

2. General information, not legal advice

Website content is general information. It is not legal, tax, investment or other professional advice and may not reflect the latest law or your full facts. You should obtain advice before acting or refraining from action.

3. No lawyer-client relationship

Viewing the website, sending an enquiry, downloading a resource or receiving a preliminary response does not create a lawyer-client relationship. A relationship begins only after conflict checks, scope and fees are agreed, and Black Oak Legal confirms engagement in writing.

4. Enquiries and confidentiality

Do not send highly sensitive, privileged or time-critical information until the firm confirms that it can consider the instruction and provides an appropriate channel. An unsolicited message does not prevent the firm from acting for another person, subject to professional obligations and applicable law.

5. Permitted and prohibited use

You may access the website for lawful personal and business information purposes. You must not interfere with security; introduce malicious code; scrape or harvest personal data; misrepresent affiliation; reproduce substantial content without permission; use the website unlawfully; or attempt unauthorised access.

6. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, Black Oak Legal owns or lawfully uses the website design, text, graphics, resources and branding. You may share links and quote short extracts with clear attribution for non-commercial purposes. Other reproduction, adaptation, distribution or commercial use requires prior written permission or a lawful exception.

7. Third-party links and services

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience or source reference. We do not control third-party content, availability, security or privacy and do not endorse it merely by linking.

8. Website availability and changes

We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the website without notice. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, compatibility, error-free content or that every item is current.

9. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Black Oak Legal is not liable for loss arising solely from reliance on general website content, website unavailability, malicious third-party activity or an external site. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limits duties arising under a written legal engagement.

10. Privacy and cookies

Personal data is handled as described in our Privacy Notice. Cookies and similar technologies are addressed in the Cookie Notice.

11. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any dispute is subject to the jurisdiction of the appropriate Nigerian courts, subject to any mandatory law. Questions may be sent to info@theblackoaklegal.com.
