Terms and Conditions

What do these Terms and Conditions regulate?

These Terms and Conditions regulate the relationship between Legal Army, S.L. (”L-A” or”we”) and the customer who contracts the services of L-A (”customer” or”you”) by accepting a proposal for services and fees (”Proposal”).

We ask that you please take a few minutes to read our Terms and Conditions carefully. If you have any questions or concerns about these Terms and Conditions, you can write to us at hi@legalarmy.net.

What are L-A's identification and contact details?
‍L-A is a legal services company located at Calle Princesa, 31, 5th Floor, Gate 1-A, 28008 Madrid. Our NIF is B88103700 and our contact email is hi@legalarmy.net.

What is the scope of our services?

The scope of the services we will provide to you will be as agreed in the Proposal. By prior agreement, this scope may be modified during the course of the provision of services.

We like to give completely personalized advice, so keep in mind that the advice we provide is aimed exclusively at you as a client, as agreed in the Proposal, and cannot be used by third parties, or by other companies or individuals in the same group if it has not been indicated in this way in the Proposal.

L-A advises exclusively in Spanish law, and only when otherwise stipulated in the Proposal, will we provide advice on other jurisdictions. If this legal advice on foreign regulations has not been established in the Proposal, it will be the subject of an independent fee proposal.

If you want us to work in Catalan, English, French, Portuguese or Italian, we can do it without problems, but it must be specified in the Proposal. If we do a work in Spanish and, subsequently, you need to translate it into one of the previous languages without this having been expressly agreed in the proposal, we will provide you with a separate budget for this translation.

We are in Madrid, but we love to travel and have clients in other cities. Therefore, if you decide to hire us and it is necessary for us to travel to your city, it is likely that we will need to bill the essential expenses to cover the trip there, always with the transparency that characterizes us.

What will the team of lawyers that manage your project and provide you with legal advice be like?

To provide the services included in the Proposal, a team of lawyers with extensive experience and the necessary knowledge in the required subject matter will be formed. We select the best legal talent with a holistic view of law and business, to provide highly specialized and personalized services, thus ensuring excellence in results.

All our lawyers and collaborators will always act in accordance with our values of excellence, transparency, agility, and the use of new technologies to provide you with the services we have agreed upon in the best possible way.

What collaboration are we going to require on your part?

In order to successfully provide you with our services, we need your collaboration.

For this reason, our team may ask you to provide them with the necessary information and validations to be able to complete the order within the expected deadlines and in accordance with our values of quality and excellence.

In the case of closed projects:
(a) If there are repeated delays or a long delay in the agreed work schedule for reasons attributable to the customer (for example, if you do not provide us with the necessary information and validations), we can immediately finish the project and bill our entire fee.
(b) You will have fifteen (15) calendar days from the date you received each deliverable to review it and request corrections from us within the scope defined in the Proposal.

What opinion do we have about confidentiality and what will our communications with our customers be like?

The strict maintenance of the confidentiality of all information received on any matter you entrust to us is one of our most important values.

At the beginning of the provision of services, we will agree on how to communicate with you and with the interlocutors you have designated to ensure that we establish agile and effective communication channels.
‍
In addition, we would like to use the logo and other distinctive signs of your company in presentations to clients, on our website and on our corporate social networks, as well as to publicize our collaboration by preparing a success story for commercial, reputational, doctrinal or academic purposes. We are committed to respecting our duty of confidentiality at all times. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you authorize us to carry out the above uses. If you are not satisfied with this authorization, you can let us know by sending us an email.

What are the economic conditions of our services?

The prices of our services are detailed in the Proposal.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, the prices indicated in the Proposal do not include VAT.

Our invoices must be paid within thirty (30) days from their date of issue.

The prices of our recurring or equal services will be updated after each year of service in accordance with the IPC in order to ensure that our fees are fair and in line with the market.

Under what circumstances can services be terminated or stopped?

At L-A, we reserve the right to waive a client's representation or advice at any time, especially if our independence is compromised. If this happens, we undertake to carry out the necessary acts to avoid the client's defenselessness. This will not prevent L-A from carrying out the necessary actions to preserve the right to claim and/or settle the fees derived from the services provided up to that time.

You should know that we can stop the work you would have commissioned us or end the provision of services if our minutes or bills are not satisfied within the established deadline. The paralysis or termination of services may extend to any of the matters that you as a customer, your subsidiaries, subsidiaries or associated companies have entrusted to us.

The stoppage, if any, will cease when you settle the outstanding amounts. Failure to pay invoices issued within the agreed deadline will result in interest accruing in accordance with the provisions of Law 3/2004, of December 29, which establishes measures to combat late payment in commercial transactions.

If you want to contract a recurring service with us, we ask that, in the unlikely event that you want to cancel it, you notify us at least one month before its effective end.

How do we guarantee our independence and how do we act in the face of conflicts of interest?

L-A will provide you with its services with absolute independence. To ensure this independence, we will not be required to follow client guidelines or guidelines that may affect our professional criteria.

In addition, L-A is committed to avoiding situations that could generate a conflict of interest. Before accepting an order, we will check that there is no conflict of interest. If we detect the existence of a conflict of interest, we will act in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Ethics of Spanish Lawyers and the General Statute of Spanish Lawyers.

How far does our professional responsibility go?

The liability to our clients, both of L-A and of the members of our team who participate in your project or who provide you with legal advice, in all respects, will be limited, as a whole, to the fees actually charged by L-A for carrying out the work provided for in the corresponding Proposal.

What is our role in auditing and preventing money laundering?

L-A may assist in client audits upon the express written request of the client or the auditing firm designated by the client. In this case, we will provide the information that is required for the preparation of said audit, the client accepting that this action does not involve any violation of the duty of confidentiality that we have assumed.
‍
Because of our profession, both L-A and the lawyers who form the company, may be required to provide the competent authorities with information regarding our clients in certain cases contemplated in the regulations for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing.

How do we handle your personal data?

Legal Army will treat your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

‍

Which law and jurisdiction applies to both of us?

The relationship between L-A and customers will be governed by what is established in the Proposal and in these Terms and Conditions. In the event of a discrepancy, the content of the Proposal will prevail over what is contained in these Terms and Conditions. If any of the conditions contained in all these documents are declared null and void, it will not affect the full and valid application of the remaining conditions.

‍

Additionally, the relationship between L-A and its customers will be governed by Spanish regulations.

‍

L-A and the client acknowledge, by reading and signing these Terms and Conditions (or the Proposal to which these Terms and Conditions are incorporated), that they renounce their own or any other jurisdiction that may apply to them by law, and that they agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts and Tribunals of the city of Madrid to resolve any actions and claims that may arise from the interpretation or execution of the Proposal, the Terms and Conditions or any other aspect related to the provision of professional services by part of L-A to the customer.

‍

Non-Hiring of employees clause

The Client undertakes not to hire, directly or indirectly, employees of the other company during the term of this contract and for two (2) years after its termination, for whatever reason. This prohibition includes any action aimed at hiring an employee of the other Party, whether through third parties or by any other means.

‍

Exceptions are cases where the employee spontaneously applies for public offers of employment without prior contact or inducement by the Contracting Party.

‍

Failure to comply with this clause shall oblige the Party in breach to pay the other Party a penalty equal to two (2) times the gross annual salary of the employee hired.
