These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Xalvoro website at xalvoro.cfd and the general terms applicable to architecture & space planning services provided by Xalvoro Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH ("Xalvoro", "we", "our", "us"). By accessing our website or engaging our services, you agree to these Terms.
Xalvoro Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH is a limited liability partnership registered in Berlin am Main, Germany. Our partners are members of the Berlin Bar Association (Rechtsanwaltskammer Berlin am Main) and regulated under the German Federal Lawyers' Act (BRAO).
The content on this website is provided for general information purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is created by your use of this website or submission of an enquiry form. Specific legal advice requires a formal engagement agreement.
You may not reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit any content from this website without our prior written consent. Interactive features including the consultation wizard and contact form are provided for enquiry purposes only.
Legal advisory services are provided exclusively under a written engagement letter or retainer agreement that specifies scope, fees, and terms. The engagement letter takes precedence over these general Terms in the event of any conflict.
We reserve the right to decline engagements after conflicts of interest checks, capacity assessments, or other professional considerations. Declining an engagement does not require us to provide reasons.
Our fees are based on the engagement model agreed in your engagement letter: fixed fees for defined scopes, hourly rates for advisory work, or success-based structures for certain transaction types. Standard hourly rates range from €250 to €650 depending on seniority.
Invoices are payable within 14 days of issue unless otherwise agreed. Late payments incur interest at 9 percentage points above the ECB base rate pursuant to Section 228 BGB. We may suspend services for overdue accounts exceeding 30 days.
All client communications are protected by confidentiality and professional secrecy obligations under Section 43a BRAO. We maintain strict confidentiality protocols including encrypted communications, access-controlled document management, and confidentiality agreements with all team members.
Work product created during engagements (memoranda, contracts, opinions) is licensed to the client upon full payment. Xalvoro retains ownership of proprietary methodologies, templates, and know-how. Our firm name, logo, and website content remain our intellectual property.
Our liability for legal services is limited to the extent permitted by professional conduct rules and our professional indemnity insurance coverage. We maintain professional indemnity insurance with coverage of €5 million per claim. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages except where prohibited by mandatory law.
Website content is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted website access or error-free interactive features.
Neither party shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from circumstances beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, government actions, cyberattacks, or infrastructure failures.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The courts of Berlin am Main shall have exclusive jurisdiction for disputes arising from these Terms, subject to mandatory consumer protection provisions where applicable.
We may update these Terms periodically. Material changes will be communicated to active clients. Continued use of our website after changes constitutes acceptance of updated Terms.
