The Website provides general information about our services. It does not constitute legal advice. A formal legal relationship is established only upon execution of a written Engagement Letter.
We reserve the right to decline any instruction without providing reasons, in accordance with our professional obligations under the Legal Profession Act 1976.
4. Your Responsibilities
When using this Website, you agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information in any enquiry or instruction
- Not use the Website for any unlawful purpose or in any way that violates applicable Malaysian law
- Not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Website or its systems
- Not upload or transmit any malicious code, false information, or content that infringes the rights of others
- Notify us promptly of any change in information relevant to your matter
In the course of a legal instruction, you agree to cooperate with us fully, provide documents and information promptly when requested, and not knowingly provide false or misleading information.
5. Intellectual Property
All content on this Website — including text, design elements, layout, and branding — is the property of Waris Amanah or its licensors and is protected under applicable Malaysian intellectual property law.
You may view and print pages from this Website for personal, non-commercial reference. You may not reproduce, distribute, or publish any content without our prior written permission.
Legal documents prepared by us in the course of a client matter remain our intellectual property until fees are settled in full, at which point copyright in those documents transfers to the client for the specific purpose of that matter.
6. Fees and Payment
Fees for our services are stated in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) and confirmed in writing in the Engagement Letter before any work commences. Indicated prices on this Website are starting figures and may vary depending on the complexity of a specific matter.
Payment is due in accordance with the schedule set out in the Engagement Letter. We accept payment by bank transfer to our client account. We do not accept cash payments. Invoices are issued at the stages agreed in the Engagement Letter.
Where a matter does not proceed to conclusion through no fault of Waris Amanah, fees for work completed to that point are due and payable. Refunds are not available for completed work.
7. Legal Service Terms
Scope: The scope of each instruction is defined in the Engagement Letter. Work outside that scope requires a separate written agreement.
Timelines: Estimated timelines are provided as guidance only. Many factors affecting the duration of an estate matter — including court processing times, third-party responses, and the complexity of family circumstances — are outside our control.
Confidentiality: We maintain strict confidentiality over all client matter information, subject only to our professional obligations under the Bar Council's rules and applicable Malaysian law.
Changes to scope: If during a matter it becomes apparent that additional work beyond the agreed scope is required, we will advise you in writing and obtain your agreement before proceeding.
Termination by client: You may terminate an instruction at any time by written notice. Fees for work completed to the date of termination remain payable.
Termination by Waris Amanah: We may cease to act for you in circumstances permitted by our professional rules, including where there is a conflict of interest, where you have provided materially misleading information, or where fees remain outstanding beyond the agreed terms.
8. Disclaimers
The information on this Website is provided for general reference only and does not constitute legal advice. It is not a substitute for a formal legal consultation and should not be relied upon as such.
While we take care to keep Website content current, we make no representation that it is accurate, complete, or up to date. Laws change, and the specific circumstances of your matter may differ materially from general information.
We do not warrant any particular outcome in any legal matter. The result of estate administration or inheritance proceedings depends on many factors, including the facts of the specific matter and the decisions of courts and other third parties.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by Malaysian law, Waris Amanah's liability to you arising out of or in connection with any legal instruction is limited to the fees paid for the specific matter in which the alleged liability arises.
We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, or special loss, including loss of opportunity, loss arising from delays caused by third parties, or loss resulting from your reliance on general Website content rather than specific legal advice.
Nothing in these Terms excludes our liability for fraud, for professional negligence resulting in direct financial loss, or for any matter that cannot be excluded under Malaysian law.
We carry professional indemnity insurance as required by the Malaysian Bar.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Waris Amanah, its practising solicitors and staff from any claim, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of this Website, your breach of these Terms, or your provision of false or misleading information in connection with a legal matter.
11. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of Malaysia. The courts of Malaysia have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any dispute arising from these Terms or from a legal instruction by Waris Amanah.
If you have a complaint about our services, we encourage you to raise it with us directly in the first instance at [email protected]. We are committed to addressing complaints promptly and fairly. If a complaint cannot be resolved between us, you may refer it to the Malaysian Bar's Disciplinary Board.
12. General Provisions
Entire agreement: For website use, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Waris Amanah. For legal services, these Terms together with the written Engagement Letter form the entire agreement.
Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
Waiver: Our failure to enforce any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right.
Assignment: You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in the context of a firm restructure or merger.
Notices: Formal notices to us should be sent in writing to our Kuala Lumpur office address or to [email protected].
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. For changes that materially affect ongoing legal instructions, we will notify clients directly. Continued use of the Website after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
