is subject to the following Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree
with these Terms and Conditions, please do not access or use this
website. These terms may be changed any time without notice. Your use of
the website constitutes your agreement to be bound by these terms.
The
materials provided on this site are for information purposes only. These
materials constitute general information relating to areas of law
familiar to my firm. They do NOT constitute legal advice or other
professional advice and you may not rely on the contents of this website
as such.
The contents of the website do not necessarily represent the opinions of
Karima Karmali. If you require legal advice, you should retain competent
legal counsel to advise you. If you would like to retain me, please
contact me and I will be pleased to discuss whether my firm can assist
you. A solicitor-client relationship will arise between you and my firm
only if I specifically agree to act for you. Until I specifically agree
to act for you on a matter, you should not provide me with any
confidential information or material.
Confidentiality of Communications
Unsolicited information and material may not be treated as confidential
and will not be protected by any solicitor-client privilege. Accessing
or using this website does not create a solicitor-client relationship.
Although the use of the web site may facilitate access to or
communications with members of my law office by e-mail or voicemail,
receipt of any such communications or transmissions by any member of my
law office does not create a solicitor-client relationship, unless I
agree to represent you.
Although I have made reasonable efforts to ensure that the materials
contained on this site are accurate, it does not warrant or guarantee:
the accuracy, currency or completeness of the materials; that the site
will be available without interruption, error or omission; that defects
will be corrected; or that the website and the server(s) that make it
available are free from viruses or harmful components. The website and
the materials provided on the website are provided “as is” and “as
available” without representations, warranties or conditions of any
kind, either expressed or implied.
I
will have no liability for any damage arising from the misuse of any
information provided on this website. The information provided on the
website is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Doing
so without seeking the advice of legal counsel constitutes a misuse of
the information.

The website of Karima Karmali has been designed to be a resource for
information on matters that might be of interest to current or potential
clients. As a result, there are links throughout the website to third
party sites. These links are provided for convenience only, and do not

Disclosure of Personal Information
Generally, I will not disclose your personal information to third
parties without your consent unless permitted or required by applicable
laws or court orders. The following are some examples where I may
disclose your personal information: such disclosure is necessary to
collect fees or disbursements; we contract with a third party to provide
us with certain services such as translation or we engage expert
witnesses on your behalf.
It
is important that the information that we have on file be accurate and
up-to-date. If, during the course of the retainer, any of your
information changes, please inform us so that we can make any necessary
changes. We may also ask you from time to time whether your personal
information is up-to-date.
Karima Karmali uses various safeguards to ensure that your personal
information is protected against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized
access, disclosure, copying or alteration. These include: security of
our physical premises; our professional obligations; security software
and firewalls to prevent unauthorized computer access or "hacking"; and
internal passwords that restrict access to our electronic files.
