Acceptance of the Terms of Use

These terms & conditions of use are entered into by and between you (“You” or “Your”) and West PLC (“West”, “We”, or “Us”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, "Terms of Use"), govern Your access to and use of any content, functionality, and services offered on or through the website located at http://www.WestPLC.com (our “Website”).

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before You start to use the Website. By using the Website, You accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference. If You do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, You must not access or use the Website.

This Website is offered and available to users who are 18 years of age or older, and reside in the United States or any of its territories or possessions. By using this Website, You represent and warrant that You are of legal age to form a binding contract with West and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If You do not meet all of these requirements, You must not access or use the Website.

The information is made available on this Website is for general informational purposes only. It is not intended to constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. It should not be considered to be a substitute for advice from legal counsel with which You have an actual attorney-client relationship. The information may not apply to Your specific situation or in Your specific jurisdiction. Although we may update certain information on the Website, some of the information may be incomplete or superseded. You should not act or refrain from acting or rely on any information on the Website without seeking the advice of a licensed attorney with knowledge of Your situation and licensed in Your jurisdiction.

You agree that Your access to the Website, or the information contained therein, or Your transmission of electronic mail to addresses on the Website, does not create an attorney-client relationship between You and West. If You are not a current client of West and You communicate with us through the Website, Your communication may not be treated as privileged or confidential. West has a policy of entering into attorney-client relationships with its clients only in accordance with certain procedures which include executing an engagement letter and addressing any and all potential or actual professional responsibility conflicts as required by the applicable rules of professional conduct.

Please consult the attorney biographies on this site to determine the particular jurisdictions in which individual West attorneys are licensed to practice. If the rules of professional conduct in Your jurisdiction require us to designate a principal office and/or a single attorney responsible for the Website, West designates its office in Florida as its principal office and designates Brad West as the person responsible for the Website. Each West attorney is licensed to practice only in those jurisdictions set forth in that attorney’s biography on the Website. Except as expressly stated, each West attorney is not certified (including as a specialist) by any professional or government authority. The listing of West attorneys in particular practice groups is not intended to be a representation of any professional or governmental certification in that practice group.

(Required Tax Disclosure – Circular 230): Any tax information presented on the Website is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax considerations. Internal Revenue Service regulations generally provide that, for the purpose of avoiding United States federal tax penalties, a taxpayer may rely only on formal written opinions meeting specific regulatory requirements. The information presented on the Website does not meet those requirements. Accordingly, such information is not intended or written to be used, and a taxpayer cannot use it, for the purpose of avoiding United States federal or other tax penalties or for the purpose of promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any tax-related matters.

The Website is not intended to be an advertisement or solicitation, but may be deemed an advertisement in certain jurisdictions. Through the Website, West does not seek to be retained by anyone in a state where the Website may fail to comply with all laws and ethical rules of that state. Before making Your choice of attorney, You should give this matter careful thought. The selection of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon written information about our qualifications and experience. West has endeavored to comply with all known legal and ethical requirements in compiling the Website. West does not desire to represent clients based upon their review of any portions of the Website that do not comply with legal or ethical requirements.
