9. Advocate Listings and Source of Profile Information

Advocate profiles and listings on VakeelSahab.in are primarily based on information supplied by the respective advocates or persons claiming/maintaining the relevant profile.

The Platform may perform limited identity, contact, enrolment or document-related checks where applicable. However, the existence of a profile, a “verified” indication or any other platform label must not be treated as a guarantee, certification, recommendation or endorsement of an advocate’s professional competence, conduct, experience, fees, suitability or likely result in any legal matter.

10. User Responsibility Before Selecting or Paying an Advocate

Before engaging, appointing, consulting or making any payment to an advocate found through VakeelSahab.in, every user is strongly advised to conduct his/her own independent due diligence and satisfy himself/herself about the advocate.

This may include independently verifying:

• Identity of the advocate.
• Bar Council enrolment and current professional status.
• Experience, practice area and professional credentials.
• Office/contact details.
• Scope of engagement and professional fee terms.
• Mode, recipient and purpose of any proposed payment.
• Any other fact the user considers material before engagement.

Users should make any payment or professional engagement only after being personally satisfied with the advocate and the proposed engagement.

11. No Responsibility for Advocate-Client Engagement, Fees or Outcome

Any consultation, appointment, professional engagement, fee arrangement, payment, legal advice, representation or advocate-client relationship is directly between the user and the concerned advocate.

VakeelSahab.in is not a party to such professional relationship unless expressly stated otherwise for a specific service. The Platform does not control the advocate’s professional judgment, conduct, fee structure, availability or performance.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, VakeelSahab.in shall not be responsible for any dispute, deficiency in professional service, alleged misconduct, fee/payment dispute, loss, claim, representation, missed deadline, advice, act, omission or outcome arising from an advocate-client engagement initiated through or after viewing information on the Platform.

12. No Guarantee of Legal Result

No listing, profile, search result, rating, verification mark, communication or information available on VakeelSahab.in guarantees any legal result, court outcome, settlement, bail, compensation, recovery, acquittal, decree, order or success in any legal proceeding.

13. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to maintain useful and updated information. However, advocate information may change over time and may not always remain current. Users should independently confirm all material information before acting upon it.

14. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, misuse, loss or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

15. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse and enforce applicable policies.

Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, users may request access, correction, updating or deletion of personal information held by the Platform.

Requests may be sent to advocateamardeepoffice@gmail.com.
