2. Acceptance of Terms
By using this website or by instructing the firm to provide services, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, you should not use this website or instruct the firm. These terms form a binding agreement under Singapore law. You must be at least 18 years of age to engage the firm's services.
3. Nature of This Website
This website provides general information about nilamlawxra and its services. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice. The information provided is for general informational purposes only and does not create a solicitor-client relationship. A solicitor-client relationship is formed only upon the execution of written engagement terms between you and the firm.
4. The Services
The firm offers three services:
- Pavilion Sitting — an initial consultation at SGD 170, including a written summary, with no obligation of further engagement.
- Steady Course in Divorce Matters — full representation in divorce and ancillary proceedings at SGD 460 (subject to written engagement terms).
- Considered Mediation — representation and advice in custody and maintenance mediation at SGD 320 (subject to written engagement terms).
Fees shown are the initial scope fees. Additional fees may apply where matters develop beyond the initial scope, and will always be agreed in writing before additional work is undertaken.
5. Engagement Process
No chargeable work will commence until the client has received and agreed to written engagement terms. The Pavilion Sitting requires confirmation of the booking and payment of the sitting fee. Representation services require the signing of a separate engagement letter that sets out the scope, fees, and terms of the engagement in full.

The firm accepts payment by bank transfer and selected electronic payment methods. All fees are quoted in Singapore Dollars (SGD) and are inclusive of GST where applicable. The firm's GST registration status is set out in the engagement letter.
9. Refund Policy
Where a Pavilion Sitting is cancelled by the client with less than 24 hours' notice, the sitting fee is non-refundable. Where a sitting is cancelled with more than 24 hours' notice, the fee will be refunded in full. For representation and mediation services, the refund policy is set out in the engagement letter. In all cases, work already performed is chargeable.

Information disclosed in the course of a sitting or engagement will not be shared with any third party without the client's written consent, except where required by law or by professional regulatory obligations.

11. Disclaimer — No Guarantee of Outcome
The firm does not make any representation as to the outcome of legal proceedings or negotiations.

Nothing in our communications should be read as such a commitment.
12. Limitation of Liability

The firm shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, or incidental loss arising from the provision of, or failure to provide, legal services, except where such liability arises from the firm's professional negligence and cannot be excluded by law.
13. Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement by written notice to the other. The firm may also terminate an engagement where continuation would breach its professional obligations. Upon termination, all fees for work completed to that point are payable. The client's file will be held for seven years following the conclusion of the matter and may be collected on request.
