Payment Terms - Legal Advisory Sessions

All payments made are for a fixed-fee legal advisory session provided by Code & Clause Legal.

The session includes structured legal guidance based on the information you provide, professional legal input on contracts, compliance, fundraising, expansion, and related matters, and verbal advisory with high-level directional recommendations where applicable.

This session does not include document drafting, detailed written legal opinions, or ongoing legal representation unless expressly agreed in writing.

This advisory session constitutes a limited-scope engagement. No ongoing legal retainer or professional engagement is created beyond this session unless a separate written agreement is entered into.

Full payment is required in advance to confirm your session. No booking is confirmed until payment has been successfully received.

All fees are displayed in the client's local currency where supported. Clients are responsible for any applicable taxes, bank charges, currency conversion fees, or foreign exchange fees arising in their jurisdiction.

After payment, you will be redirected to schedule your session. It is your responsibility to select a suitable time. If you do not schedule within a reasonable period, you may contact us for assistance.

Each advisory session is limited to the allocated time slot. Sessions will begin and end at the scheduled time. Late arrival will not extend the session duration. Additional time requires a separate booking and payment.

You may reschedule your session if notice is given at least 24 hours in advance. Rescheduling requests made with less than 24 hours' notice may not be accommodated.

Failure to attend a scheduled session without prior notice will be treated as a no-show. No-shows are non-refundable and are not eligible for rescheduling.

All payments are final and non-refundable, except where Code & Clause Legal is unable to deliver the session or where a scheduling conflict arises on our end and cannot be reasonably resolved.

Refunds are not provided for change of mind, failure to attend, or lack of preparedness for the session.

The advisory session is based on the information you provide and applicable legal frameworks at the time of the session. It does not constitute ongoing legal representation, a comprehensive legal audit, or a substitute for full legal engagement.

Further work will require a separate engagement and fee.

You acknowledge that all advice is based on the information you provide. You are responsible for how you interpret, implement, or rely on the advice.

Code & Clause Legal is not responsible for outcomes resulting from incomplete, inaccurate, or evolving information.

You agree to provide accurate and complete information, attend the session on time, and use the session for lawful purposes only.

All information shared during the session will be treated as confidential, subject to applicable legal and professional obligations.

Sessions are not recorded unless expressly agreed. Clients may not record sessions using any tool without prior written consent from Code & Clause Legal.

No written deliverables, summaries, or follow-up materials are included unless separately agreed.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Code & Clause Legal's total liability arising from this advisory session is limited to the amount paid for the session.

We shall not be liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of revenue, funding, or business opportunity, business interruption, or reputational impact.

Code & Clause Legal reserves the right to decline an engagement, cancel, or terminate a session where a conflict of interest exists, the request is unlawful or inappropriate, or the engagement falls outside our professional or regulatory scope.

Payments are processed via Paystack. Clients are charged in their local currency where supported, including Nigerian Naira (NGN), United States Dollar (USD), British Pound (GBP), or Euro (EUR). Where a local currency is not supported, USD will apply as the default billing currency.

Clients are responsible for any applicable bank charges, foreign exchange or currency conversion fees, and charges imposed by their financial institution.

Code & Clause Legal is not responsible for payment gateway errors, transaction failures, or delays caused by payment processors or financial institutions outside our control.

Any dispute arising from these terms shall first be referred to good faith negotiation. Where unresolved within 14 days, the matter shall be referred to mediation under Nigerian law before any formal proceedings are commenced.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

By making payment, you confirm that you have read and understood these terms and agreed to be bound by them.
