Terms & Conditions
These Terms govern access to and use of the Vecchiet Law website and related intake tools, including the Case Review and consultation request pathways. They establish clear institutional boundaries prior to engagement, preserve confidentiality, and maintain professional standards across jurisdictions.
Submitting a Case Review, requesting a consultation, sending correspondence, uploading documentation, or receiving automated confirmation messages does not create an attorney–client relationship. Representation begins only after conflict clearance, execution of a written engagement agreement, explicit written acceptance, and compliance with agreed fee terms.
01 — Institutional Identity and Legal Character
Vecchiet Law (“Firm,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a professional legal services provider engaged in matters including, but not limited to financial fraud recovery, cybercrime litigation, digital asset tracing and enforcement, cross-border asset recovery, and regulatory escalation and compliance coordination.
The Website located at vecchietlaw.com (“Website”) is an informational and client-intake platform only. Nothing on this Website constitutes a formal offer of legal representation.
02 — Electronic Agreement and Consent to Digital Communications
By accessing, browsing, submitting information through, or otherwise interacting with this Website, you acknowledge review of these Terms, agree to be bound by them, consent to electronic communication, and agree that digital submission constitutes acknowledgment under applicable electronic commerce laws.
You waive any requirement of physical signature for purposes of Website access.
03 — Informational Nature of Content
All materials provided on this Website are informational in nature, educational in scope, not legal advice, and not a substitute for individualized counsel. No reliance should be placed on Website content without formal engagement.
04 — No Attorney–Client Relationship
No attorney–client relationship is formed through Case Review submission, consultation request, email correspondence, upload of documentation, or automated confirmation messages. An attorney–client relationship arises only upon: (1) conflict clearance; (2) execution of a written engagement agreement; (3) explicit written acceptance of representation; and (4) compliance with agreed fee terms.
Until that time, no fiduciary obligation exists.
05 — Professional Responsibility and Ethical Compliance
The Firm operates subject to applicable professional conduct rules. Nothing herein shall be interpreted as waiving ethical duties, limiting mandatory professional obligations, or circumventing regulatory compliance requirements. Representation may be subject to jurisdictional licensing limitations.
06 — Cross-Border and Jurisdictional Risk Disclosure
Users acknowledge that international fraud matters involve multi-jurisdictional complexity, regulatory variability, inconsistent enforcement tools, sovereign limitations, and political and economic risk. The Firm does not warrant enforceability of claims in any specific country.
Certain jurisdictions may refuse cooperation, decline regulatory escalation, restrict asset freezing, require local counsel, or impose procedural limitations.
07 — Blockchain and Digital Asset Risk Advisory
In matters involving cryptocurrencies or digital assets: transactions are generally irreversible; wallet identities may be pseudonymous; exchanges may operate outside regulated frameworks; asset freezing depends on cooperation; smart contract mechanics may limit reversibility; and volatility may materially affect value.
Blockchain forensic tracing identifies flows but does not guarantee recovery. The Firm disclaims responsibility for inherent technological or market risk.
08 — Regulatory Escalation Disclaimer
Escalation to regulatory authorities does not guarantee investigation initiation, enforcement action, asset freezing, restitution, or prosecution. Regulators exercise independent discretion.
09 — Third-Party Contractors and Forensic Specialists
The Firm may, at its discretion, collaborate with forensic analysts, blockchain tracing specialists, financial investigators, local counsel, and regulatory consultants. Such third parties operate independently.
The Firm does not assume liability for independent contractor acts beyond reasonable supervision obligations required by law.
10 — No Guarantee of Outcome
Fraud recovery outcomes depend on variables including asset liquidity, timing of reporting, solvency of counterparties, cooperation of exchanges and banks, jurisdictional enforceability, and evidentiary sufficiency. No representation is made regarding recovery percentage, timeframe, success probability, or regulatory outcome.
Past results do not predict future performance.
11 — Professional Judgment and Strategy Autonomy
Upon formal engagement, the Firm retains exclusive discretion regarding litigation strategy, negotiation tactics, regulatory pathways, evidentiary submissions, and settlement approaches (subject to client consent where required by law). Clients may not direct unlawful, unethical, or imprudent actions.
12 — Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Sanctions Compliance
The Firm reserves the right to conduct identity verification, request source-of-funds documentation, refuse engagement if compliance concerns arise, and terminate representation where required by law.
The Firm complies with applicable AML statutes and economic sanctions regimes, including OFAC and equivalent regulatory frameworks where applicable. Representation may be declined where sanctions restrictions apply.
13 — Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Firm disclaims liability for indirect damages, consequential losses, lost profits, lost opportunity, third-party actions, exchange insolvency, and regulatory refusal.
Aggregate liability, if any, shall not exceed amounts paid under applicable engagement agreements unless prohibited by law. Nothing herein limits liability where legally non-waivable.
14 — Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Disputes arising solely from Website use may be resolved through binding arbitration where enforceable. Users waive participation in class or collective proceedings. Engagement agreements may supersede this clause.
15 — Force Majeure
The Firm shall not be liable for delays or inability to perform resulting from government action, sanctions, exchange collapse, systemic banking failure, cyberattacks, natural disasters, blockchain protocol changes, war, or geopolitical instability.
16 — Intellectual Property and Proprietary Methodology
All Website materials, including strategic process descriptions, structured recovery models, visual identity, documentation templates, and branding assets, are proprietary and protected by intellectual property law. Unauthorized use is prohibited.
17 — Data Governance and Electronic Records
By submitting information, users consent to electronic processing, secure storage, cloud-based retention where applicable, and electronic transmission. Records may be retained consistent with professional and regulatory obligations.
18 — Indemnification
Users agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Firm from claims arising from false representations, fraudulent submissions, misuse of services, or unlawful conduct.
19 — Severability and Modification
If any provision is unenforceable, remaining provisions remain effective. The Firm may modify these Terms at any time. Continued Website use constitutes acceptance of modifications.
20 — Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Firm principally operates, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes shall be resolved consistent with governing legal standards and applicable engagement agreements.
