1. About These Terms
These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the sukhothinz website at sukhothinz.biz and the engagement of any legal services provided by sukhothinz, a legal practice registered in Bangkok, Thailand. By using this website or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these terms.
Please read these terms carefully. If you have any questions, write to us at [email protected] before proceeding.
2. Our Services
sukhothinz provides pension legal advisory services in Thailand, specifically:
- Pension Eligibility Verification
- Pension Increase Application
- Estate-Connected Pension Claims
Each service is described in full on our website. The scope of any engagement, including the fixed fee applicable, will be confirmed in writing before any chargeable work begins. These terms apply to all services unless a separate written engagement letter specifies otherwise.
3. Use of This Website
3.1 Permitted Use
You may use this website for informational purposes, to learn about our services, and to submit an enquiry through the contact form. You may not use this website for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could damage, disable, or impair its operation.
3.2 Accuracy of Information
We take care to keep the information on this website accurate and current. However, the content is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. Nothing on this website creates a legal advisory relationship between you and sukhothinz. A formal engagement must be agreed in writing before any legal advisory relationship is established.
3.3 Third-Party Links
This website may contain links to external websites. We do not endorse or take responsibility for the content of external sites. Links are provided for convenience only.
4. Engaging Our Services
4.1 Initial Enquiry
Submitting a contact form enquiry or calling our office does not create a legal advisory relationship. An engagement begins only when both parties have agreed in writing to the scope, fee, and terms of the specific service to be provided.
4.2 Fees and Payment
Fees for each service are stated on our website and will be confirmed in writing before work begins. Fees are fixed and inclusive of all work within the stated service scope. Any work falling outside the agreed scope requires a separate written agreement. All fees are stated in Thai Baht (THB) and are payable as set out in the written engagement agreement.
4.3 Scope of Legal Services
Our services are limited to the specific pension legal matters described on this website and in the written engagement agreement. We do not provide general legal advice, tax advice, financial planning advice, or advice on matters outside the scope of our stated services. Where a matter requires expertise outside our scope, we will advise you accordingly.
4.4 Client Responsibilities
To enable us to carry out our work, you agree to provide accurate and complete information, supply documents requested in a timely manner, inform us promptly of any changes to your circumstances that may affect the matter, and respond to our written communications within a reasonable period.
5. Confidentiality
All information shared with us in connection with an engagement is treated as strictly confidential and subject to legal professional privilege where applicable. We will not disclose client information to third parties except where required by law, by court order, or where specifically instructed by you in writing (for example, to share information with an estate administrator or pension authority in the course of your matter).
6. Intellectual Property
All text, layout, and design elements on this website are the property of sukhothinz or its licensors. You may not copy, reproduce, or redistribute any part of this website's content without our written permission, except where permitted by applicable law.
The written documents produced in the course of an engagement — including eligibility notes, application drafts, and outcome reports — are provided to you for your personal use in connection with the matter for which they were produced.
7. Limitation of Liability
Our liability in connection with services provided under these terms is limited to direct losses caused by our negligence or breach of the engagement agreement. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of pension entitlement arising from decisions made independently by you, decisions made by the relevant pension authority, or delays within the pension authority's own review process.
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot be limited by law.
8. Termination of Engagement
Either party may terminate an engagement by giving written notice. Where you terminate an engagement that is in progress, you will be liable for fees in respect of work already completed or committed at the date of termination, as set out in the engagement agreement. Where we terminate an engagement, we will provide written notice and a summary of the work completed to that point.
9. Complaints
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of our service, please write to us at [email protected]. We will acknowledge your complaint within five working days and aim to respond substantively within twenty working days. If a complaint cannot be resolved directly, you may seek recourse through the Lawyers Council of Thailand.
10. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Thailand. Any disputes arising in connection with these terms or with services provided by sukhothinz shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Bangkok, Thailand.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The updated date at the top of this document indicates when the current version was last revised. For ongoing engagements, changes to terms will be communicated in writing and will not apply retroactively without your agreement.
