Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern access to and use of the Torii website and the information it contains. By using this site, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

These terms relate to this website and to the process of making an enquiry. The terms that govern any formal legal engagement between Torii and a client are set out separately in a client engagement letter, which will be provided before any matter opens.

1. Use of this website

• Permitted use

  This website is provided for general information about Torii and its services, and to allow visitors to make enquiries. You may access and read these pages for personal, non-commercial purposes.

• Prohibited uses

  You must not use this website to transmit unlawful, defamatory or harmful content; to attempt unauthorised access to any systems; to interfere with the operation of the site; or to scrape or reproduce content in bulk without written permission.

• No legal advice

  The content on this website is for general orientation only. It does not constitute legal advice, and reading it does not create a solicitor-client or legal adviser-client relationship between you and Torii.

• Fair usage

  Automated access, crawling in excess of normal indexing activity, or repeated bulk requests that place disproportionate load on the server are not permitted.

2. Enquiries and access

• Accuracy of information provided

  When making an enquiry through the contact form, you agree to provide accurate information. Providing deliberately false information may affect our ability to respond or assist.

• No obligation to respond

  Submitting an enquiry does not oblige Torii to accept your matter or to respond within any particular timeframe, although we aim to reply within two working days.

• Conflict of interest checks

  Before accepting any matter, we carry out a conflict-of-interest check. We will inform you promptly if we are unable to assist for this reason.

3. Service availability and modifications

• Availability

  We make reasonable efforts to keep this website available, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance, updates or circumstances beyond our control may cause temporary interruptions.

• Geographic scope

  Our legal services are centred on matters arising in Japan. Visitors from other jurisdictions are welcome to read the site and make enquiries, but we may not be in a position to assist with matters outside our practice area.

• Changes to this site and its terms

  We may update the content of this website and these terms at any time. The date shown at the top of this page reflects when the terms were last revised. Continued use of the site after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

4. Intellectual property

• Ownership

  All text, design and other content on this website is owned by or licensed to Torii. You may not reproduce, distribute or publish any part of it without our prior written consent.

• Trademarks

  The Torii name and any associated marks are proprietary. Nothing on this site grants any right to use them without our written agreement.

• User content

  By submitting a message through the contact form, you grant us permission to process and use its contents for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. We do not claim ownership of your message content.
