Terms & Conditions
The rules governing use of the AfroLegal website, support requests, volunteer clinics, support contributions, and community content.
Last updated: 10 March 2026
1. Acceptance of these terms
By accessing this website, submitting a form, making a support contribution through an external payment link, applying to volunteer, or otherwise engaging with AfroLegal, you agree to these Terms & Conditions unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.
2. Service boundary
AfroLegal provides legal administrative support, document preparation, case organisation, signposting, and coordination of community access to volunteer legal clinics.
AfroLegal is not a law firm, is not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and does not provide legal advice or legal representation. Nothing on this website creates a solicitor-client relationship.
3. No guarantee of outcomes
Legal, administrative, immigration, employment, housing, education, benefits, and ombudsman outcomes depend on facts, deadlines, evidence, third-party institutions, and applicable law. We cannot guarantee any result, appointment availability, decision reversal, settlement, or tribunal outcome.
4. User responsibilities
- Provide information that is accurate and not misleading to the best of your knowledge.
- Only submit material you have the right or authority to share.
- Remove or redact information that is unnecessary for the task where possible.
- Keep copies of your own records and do not rely on the website as your only storage location.
- Take responsibility for filing deadlines, final submissions, and decisions about legal representation.
5. Support requests and volunteer clinics
Submitting a form does not guarantee that AfroLegal will accept or progress a matter. Clinic capacity is limited, and some issues require regulated legal advice or formal representation beyond our scope.
Volunteer clinics are goodwill-based community sessions. They do not create an ongoing retainer, and Afro Legal may change, postpone, or decline appointments where capacity, fit, safeguarding, or risk require it.
6. Support contributions and third-party payments
Support contributions are currently processed by Payhip. When you leave this site to complete a support transaction, the third-party provider's own terms, refund rules, and privacy policy will apply to the payment process.
AfroLegal is not responsible for outages, payment failures, account issues, or policy changes imposed by third-party payment providers.
7. Editorial submissions and story use
If you submit a story, testimony, or editorial lead, you confirm that you have the right to share that material. AfroLegal may decline, edit, anonymise, or remove content at its discretion.
We will not publish identifying details from a support matter as a Justice Journal story without an appropriate editorial basis, which may include anonymisation and consent.
8. Intellectual property
All website design, copy, branding, logos, graphics, and original editorial material on this site belong to AfroLegal or its licensors unless otherwise stated. You may not copy, republish, or commercially exploit site content without permission, except where sharing tools on the site clearly allow it.
9. Prohibited use
- Use the site unlawfully, abusively, or in a way that disrupts operations or harms others.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to systems, accounts, or data.
- Submit malware, spam, fraudulent claims, or defamatory content.
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent authority to act on someone else's behalf.
10. Third-party content and links
The website may link to external resources, legal information, support organisations, payment pages, or tools. Those services operate under their own terms and policies, and AfroLegal is not responsible for their content, security, or availability.
11. Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AfroLegal is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of data, missed deadlines, or decisions made by third parties. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
12. Suspension, changes, and governing law
We may update, suspend, or withdraw website features, clinic access, or submission routes where necessary for operational, legal, security, or safeguarding reasons.
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute relating to the website will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
