3. Purpose of the website
The website is exclusively for informational and institutional purposes, intended to provide information about the firm, its team, practice areas, informational content, contacts, and other elements related to its professional activities.
The information provided on this website is of a general nature and does not dispense with the analysis of each specific case. No content on the website should be interpreted as legal advice, a legal opinion, a contractual offer, a guarantee of results, or a legal position applicable to a specific situation.
4. No lawyer-client relationship created by mere use of the website
The use of this website, simple navigation of its pages, sending messages via forms, sending emails, or any contact request made through this channel, does not in itself establish a lawyer-client relationship.
The eventual acceptance of a legal matter will always depend on prior analysis, verification of the absence of conflicts of interest, assessment of the nature of the request, and express acceptance of sponsorship or the provision of services by the firm.
Unless expressly indicated otherwise, the user should not assume that information transmitted through open channels on the website is automatically covered by an existing contractual framework for forensic sponsorship or legal consulting.
5. Information sent by the user
The user undertakes to provide true, complete and up-to-date information whenever they use forms, send contact requests or establish any communication through the website.
The spontaneous sending of information, documents or descriptions of concrete situations should be done with caution and only to the extent necessary for an initial contact. Whenever possible, it is recommended that excessive, sensitive or confidential data not be sent before express guidance from the office has been received.
The user is solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and suitability of the elements they submit via the website or the contacts provided therein.

It is also prohibited to introduce viruses, malicious scripts, harmful code, or any mechanisms likely to interfere with the website's operation, as well as attempting to access restricted areas, circumventing security measures, collecting data automatically without authorisation, or using the website's content for unauthorised purposes.
7. Intellectual and industrial property
All content made available on this website, including, but not limited to, texts, articles, descriptions, images, photographs, illustrations, graphics, visual elements, logos, distinctive signs, trademarks, design, structure, organisation, software and other materials, is protected by the applicable legislation concerning intellectual property, industrial property and any other relevant law.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, such content belongs to Armandino Lopes Advogados or are used with the authorisation of their respective owners.
The use of the website does not grant the user any licence, assignment or transmission of rights over the content made available on it, beyond the limited right of consultation and strictly personal, informational, and non-commercial use.
8. Limited use of content
Users may view and, where technically possible, temporarily download content from the website solely for personal, internal, informational, and non-commercial use, provided that they fully respect the rights of the respective owner and do not alter, suppress, or remove any notices of authorship, origin, reservation of rights, or other legal indications.

9. Third-party content
The website may include references, mentions, citations, trademarks, images, links or other content belonging to third parties. The presence of these elements does not signify any transfer of rights to the user nor does it constitute, unless expressly indicated, any association, sponsorship, partnership or authorisation of use beyond mere consultation within the context of the website.
10. Disclaimer regarding content
The office aims to ensure that the information provided on the website is correct, accurate, and up-to-date. Nevertheless, it does not guarantee that all content is permanently complete, exact, updated, or free from errors, inaccuracies, or omissions.
The information on the website does not substitute for individualised legal analysis of concrete situations and should not, on its own, serve as the exclusive basis for making personal, business, asset-related, procedural, or any other type of decisions.
The user acknowledges that the use of the website's content is at their own risk.
11. Technical disclaimer
The firm does not guarantee that the website will be permanently available, uninterrupted, error-free, free from technical faults, viruses, malware or other potentially harmful elements, although it endeavours to adopt reasonable protective and security measures.
To the extent legally permissible, the firm shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages, losses, data loss, business interruption, system failures or other damages resulting from the use, inability to use or reliance placed upon the content and functionalities of the website.

Whenever required by applicable legislation, the use of non-necessary cookies will depend on prior user consent, provided through the preference management mechanism available on the website.
16. Communications Security
Although the office endeavours to use adequate means of protection, no data transmission over the Internet can be considered entirely inviolable or absolutely secure.
For this reason, the user must refrain from sending, via generic forms or electronic channels not specifically indicated for this purpose, excessively sensitive information or documentation whose transmission requires enhanced security mechanisms, unless this has been previously requested or validated by the office.
17. Suspension, alteration, and removal of content
The firm reserves the right to, at any time and without prior notice, amend, update, restrict, suspend or remove content, features, areas of the website or access conditions, whenever it deems convenient for technical, operational, legal, strategic or maintenance reasons.
