These terms govern your use of seekila.ca (the “Website”). The Website is operated in association with FFlegal.ca. Legal services are provided through the Office of Fatima Farooq, Barrister & Solicitor, Ontario (the “Office”).
Using the Website, creating an account or uploading documents does not create a lawyer-client relationship. That relationship begins only when the Office accepts your matter and you sign a written retainer. The retainer, not these terms, governs the legal services.
Content on the Website, including articles and the “Understand Your Agreement” tool, is general information for Ontario. It is not legal advice and does not assess your own agreement or whether it is enforceable.
You must give accurate information and keep your login confidential. You must not upload unlawful or harmful content or use the Website to obtain information about another person's matter.
Fees are shown before payment and are plus HST. Where a fee is quoted, no additional amount is charged without your authorisation. Payments are processed by a third-party payment provider; the Website does not store your card details.
The Website is provided as is. To the extent permitted by law, the Office is not liable for loss arising from use of the Website's general information or from interruptions in service. Nothing limits liability that cannot be limited by law or the Rules of Professional Conduct.
These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there.
The Office collects personal information you provide: name, contact details, address, language, the agreement and supporting documents, financial information, government photo ID, payment records and communications. It collects this to assess your matter, check conflicts and verify identity, provide legal services, bill you, and meet legal and professional obligations.
Information is shared only with service providers needed to run the service, such as payment processing, electronic signature, scheduling, email delivery, hosting and document storage, under appropriate safeguards. It is not sold and is not used to train external AI models. Information may be disclosed where you authorise it or where law or professional rules require or permit it.
Client files are kept for the period required by the Law Society of Ontario's rules and applicable law, then securely destroyed. Some service providers may store or process data outside Canada. [DATA RESIDENCY TO BE CONFIRMED BEFORE LAUNCH.] You may request access to, or correction of, your personal information, or withdraw consent where permitted, by contacting info@fflegal.ca or +1 343 884 9428. Complaints may be directed to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
The Website uses essential cookies for login and security. Email and electronic communications can carry security risks. Confidential documents are shared through the secure portal, not ordinary email attachments, unless you agree otherwise.
The information on this Website is for general informational purposes and is not legal advice. Viewing the Website or contacting the Office does not create a lawyer-client relationship. Independent legal advice does not guarantee that an agreement is enforceable or that any outcome will result. The lawyer decides independently whether to give ILA and whether to issue a Certificate of Independent Legal Advice. Directory listings are for information only; listed providers are not vetted or endorsed by seekILA or the Office.
