Last revised 1 January 2026

This User Agreement (the "Agreement") governs access to the website https://vlolawfirm.com/ (the "Website"), whose operator is VLO Law Firm, acting through OsOO “Legal Tech”, registered in the Kyrgyz Republic (registration No. 210837-3301-ООО, TIN 02410202210318, OKPO 31680715), and the use of materials published on the Website.
By using the Website in any manner — browsing pages, submitting the enquiry form, sending a message, or otherwise interacting with the Website — the Visitor confirms that they have read, accepted in full and undertake to comply with this Agreement. If the Visitor does not agree with this Agreement in whole or in part, the Visitor should refrain from using the Website.
1. Purpose of the Website
The Website is an informational resource of the Firm. It contains information about the Firm’s cross-border practices, regions, representative matters, publications and an enquiry form for prospective clients.
The Website is an informational platform and does not itself conclude an engagement letter through a click-through interface. Engagement letters are entered into separately following preliminary discussion between the Firm and the prospective client.
2. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Use of the Website, including the submission of an enquiry through the contact form, does not create an attorney-client (or lawyer-client) relationship between the Visitor and the Firm or any of its lawyers.
An attorney-client relationship arises only after: (a) the Firm has completed a conflict-of-interest check; (b) the parties have agreed the scope of the engagement; and (c) an engagement letter has been signed by both parties or the Firm has otherwise confirmed acceptance of the engagement in writing.
Until an engagement letter has been concluded, any correspondence between the Visitor and the Firm — including via the enquiry form, e-mail or other channels — is preliminary in nature. Such correspondence is not protected by the regime of attorney-client privilege or legal professional privilege and does not constitute privileged communication.
Visitors are advised not to transmit confidential or commercially sensitive information through the enquiry form before an engagement letter has been concluded and a confidentiality regime has been established.
3. Materials Do Not Constitute Legal Advice
All materials published on the Website, including without limitation articles in the "Insights" section, practice descriptions, descriptions of representative matters, presentations and other informational content (together, the "Materials"), are provided for informational and educational purposes only.
The Materials do not constitute legal advice in relation to the specific factual circumstances of any Visitor and should not be relied upon as such. Each particular situation requires an independent assessment by qualified counsel taking into account all relevant facts.
The Firm makes reasonable efforts to ensure that the Materials are accurate and up-to-date as of their publication date. However, legislation, regulatory practice and case law evolve, and the Firm does not warrant that the Materials remain accurate or applicable after their publication date.
4. Intellectual Property
The Website as a whole, as well as all Materials, design, graphic elements, text, photographs, fonts, source code, databases and other intellectual property and means of individualisation (including the designation "VLO Law Firm"), are owned by the Firm or used by the Firm on lawful grounds. All rights reserved.
Visitors are permitted to: (a) browse the Website and Materials for personal non-commercial purposes; and (b) reproduce limited extracts of the Materials for the purposes of fair quotation, provided that the source is clearly cited and an active hyperlink to the relevant page of the Website is included.
Without the prior written consent of the Firm, Visitors may not: (a) reproduce, copy, distribute or publicly display the Materials or any other elements of the Website for commercial purposes; (b) use the designation "VLO Law Firm" or any other means of individualisation of the Firm; (c) create derivative works based on the Materials; (d) use the Website or Materials for training artificial intelligence models, machine learning systems or any other automated systems; or (e) carry out automated data collection from the Website (scraping, crawling), save for the activities of search engines within the limits set by the robots.txt file.
5. Use of the Website
When using the Website, the Visitor undertakes:
• not to take any action aimed at impairing the operation of the Website, its components or server infrastructure;
• not to attempt unauthorised access to restricted areas of the Website, user accounts or technical data;
• not to use the Website to distribute malicious software, spam, phishing materials or any other unlawful content;
• not to submit through the enquiry form or other interactive elements any deliberately false, offensive or unlawful information, nor information concerning third parties without the necessary legal grounds;
• to comply with applicable law.
6. Enquiry Form
The Website contains an enquiry form ("Make an enquiry") through which preliminary enquiries may be submitted. The submission of an enquiry constitutes a request to the Firm to assess the possibility of providing legal services. Receipt of an enquiry by the Firm does not constitute automatic acceptance of the matter and does not give rise to any obligation of the Firm to render services.
The Firm decides whether to accept or decline an enquiry at its sole discretion, taking into account the results of conflict-of-interest checks, practice fit, capacity and other circumstances.
Personal data submitted through the enquiry form is processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy (published at https://vlolawfirm.com/privacy).

7. Cookies and Web Analytics
The Website uses cookies and may use web analytics. Detailed information about cookies and ways to manage them is provided in the Cookies Policy: https://vlolawfirm.com/cookies.
8. Third-Party Links
The Website may contain links to websites and resources operated by third parties (legal directories, professional associations, press publications, partner services and other external resources). Such links are provided solely for the Visitor’s convenience and do not imply endorsement by the Firm of the content of those resources.
The Firm does not control third-party resources and bears no responsibility for their availability, accuracy, the currency of their content, their data-processing policies or any other aspect of their operation. The use of third-party resources is undertaken at the Visitor’s own risk and is governed by the terms and policies of those resources.
9. Representative Matters and Practice Descriptions
Descriptions of representative matters are published in summary form and, where necessary, in anonymised form. The identities of clients, the jurisdictions of counterparties, specific recovery figures and other confidential details are disclosed only with the relevant client’s consent.
Descriptions of past matters do not guarantee a similar result in the future, since each matter is assessed individually.
10. Jurisdictional Statements
The Firm coordinates cross-border mandates and, where a matter is governed by foreign law or requires local admission in a specific jurisdiction, works with qualified local counsel in the relevant jurisdiction.
Use of the Website does not constitute the provision of legal services by the Firm in the Visitor’s country of residence.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Firm shall not be liable to any Visitor for direct or indirect damages, loss of profits, reputational harm or other losses arising out of: (a) the use of, or inability to use, the Website; (b) reliance on the Materials when making any decisions; (c) technical malfunctions, unavailability of the Website, or loss or distortion of data in transit; or (d) the acts or omissions of third parties, including telecommunications operators, hosting providers and analytics service providers.
The Website is provided on an "as is" basis. The Firm makes no express or implied warranty of uninterrupted operation of the Website, of its fitness for a particular purpose of the Visitor, or of the absence of errors.
12. Amendments to this Agreement
The Firm may amend this Agreement unilaterally. The current version is always available at https://vlolawfirm.com/terms. The date of the latest revision is shown at the top of this document. Continued use of the Website following publication of an updated version of this Agreement constitutes the Visitor’s acceptance of that version.
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
This Agreement, and any relationship between the Firm and the Visitor arising in connection with the use of the Website, are governed by applicable law.
Any disputes arising in connection with the use of the Website shall be resolved through negotiation. Failing pre-trial settlement, disputes shall be referred to a competent court determined in accordance with applicable law, unless mandatory provisions of applicable law require otherwise.
14. Miscellaneous
If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. Any invalid provision shall be replaced by a provision that most closely reflects the original intent and complies with applicable law.
Any failure by the Firm to enforce any provision of this Agreement in the event of its breach by a Visitor shall not constitute a waiver of the Firm’s rights in respect of that breach or any future breach.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Firm and the Visitor in respect of the use of the Website and supersedes any prior arrangements concerning the same subject matter.
