GENERAL DISCLAIMER
This Website is intended solely to convey general information about Western Maine Law LLC. The content of the Website is not intended to constitute, and should not be relied upon as, legal advice. This Website may be considered an advertisement for Western Maine Law LLC in certain jurisdictions. The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Before you decide, ask us to send you written information about and/or discuss with you our qualifications and experience.
This Website may contain errors or omissions, for which we disclaim any liability. Western Maine Law LLC further does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any other Website which the user may access through this Website.
For your protection, if you contact us through this Website, please do not send us any confidential information unless you have received written permission, in advance, to do so from a Western Maine Law LLC attorney. The confidentiality of any communication between you and Western Maine Law LLC may not be protected until an attorney-client relationship is formally established. Neither your use of this site nor your transmission of electronic mail to Western Maine Law LLC or anyone working for it will create an attorney-client relationship. The formation of an attorney-client relationship requires satisfaction of multiple factors such as resolution of possible conflicts of interest, an appropriate fee arrangement, and mutual agreement on the terms of the engagement. In the absence of such a relationship, materials you send to us may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege, and third parties may be able to force Western Maine Law LLC to reveal the information you send to us.
Western Maine Law LLC does not seek to practice law in any state, territory or foreign country where it is not authorized to do so, and this Website should not be interpreted as an offer to do so. The listing of an area of practice by Western Maine Law LLC and/or an attorney on this Website does not indicate any certification, expertise, specialization, or special authority therein.
PRIVACY POLICY
Western Maine Law LLC respects the privacy of visitors to our Website. In general, you can visit our Website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Although we do not do so currently, we may track the Internet addresses of the domains from which people visit us and analyze these data for trends and statistics, but the individual users would remain anonymous.
We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically and will post any changes to the Website so that you are always informed about what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it. Additionally, this Privacy Policy may be supplemented or amended from time to time by other “privacy notices” posted on the Site or specific web pages within the site. These privacy notices describe in more detail the information we collect on particular pages or areas of the Site. By continuing to use the Site after having an opportunity to review this Privacy Policy, you have accepted these terms and consented to our collection, use and sharing of the information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site.
The information we collect depends on how you use the Site. We collect personal information (e.g., name, address, telephone number, e-mail address) that you knowingly provide when you use this Site. Most of the information we collect from you at the Site does not personally identify you to us, although it may be unique or consist of or contain information that you consider personal. For example, we may collect information that is sent to us automatically by your Web browser. This information typically would include your IP address, the identity of your Internet Service Provider, the name and version of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit.
Generally, we do not link the information provided by your browser to information that identifies you by name. You should know, however, that when you access this Site by clicking on a link in an electronic communication you receive from us, your browser tells us that someone has clicked on a particular link in that particular electronic communication. We may use this information to improve our marketing efforts. In addition, we may review our server logs — which contain visitors’ IP addresses — for security and fraud prevention purposes. If criminal activity is suspected, we may share our server logs and the personal information we have collected through this Site with the appropriate investigative authorities who could use that information to trace and identify individuals.
We may use the information we collect through this Site for a variety of purposes, including: providing the information and services you request; personalizing your experience when you use this Site; personalizing our communications with you; contacting you with other information and/or services that we believe will be of interest to you (unless you have chosen not to receive these communications); contacting you with information and notices related to your use of this Site; making sure our mailing lists are accurate, current and do not contain multiple entries for the same individual; improving the content, functionality and usability of this Site; improving our marketing and promotional efforts; and for security and fraud-prevention purposes.
We may share your information with our trusted third party service providers to help us manage and operate the Site, such as performing statistical analysis, sending you e-mail, postal mail or text messages, providing customer support and performing other important services. Although these partners may not be affiliated with us, they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are not authorized to discuss, disclose or make any use of your personal information except as necessary to provide such services.
Periodically, we may contact you about seminars and other events sponsored by Western Maine Law LLC. Some of these events may be co-sponsored with other organizations. In these cases, we may share your personal information with a co-sponsor to deliver information about the event.
We and our third party service providers may disclose specific individual information if we or they reasonably believe that it is necessary to: (i) investigate any suspected misuse of the Site; (ii) comply with applicable federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations or orders; (iii) to protect or defend the rights, property and interests of Western Maine Law LLC, our clients, or the interests of our third party service providers; or (iv) under exigent circumstances, to protect the personal safety of users of the Site or the public.
Your information will be held by us for so long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, for the settlement of any potential disputes which may be raised or otherwise in accordance with legal requirements.
Your information may be transferred to another law firm in connection with a sale, reorganization or merger.
We take care to provide a level of security appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we collect and maintain. Although we use measures to help protect your information against unauthorized access, use or disclosure, we cannot guarantee the security of information provided over the Internet or stored in our databases. Your transmissions are, therefore, at your own risk.
