Communication channels may only be used to send and receive material appropriate to the service.

Information and Retention

You authorise the firm to use your information to provide legal services. Information may be retained and disclosed where required by law or reasonably necessary in good faith to comply with legal or government requests, enforce the terms, respond to claims of rights infringement, or protect the rights, property and safety of the firm, users and others.

Prohibited Use

Under the existing wording, using the platform for matters the firm considers irrelevant, unlawful or frivolous is prohibited, as is using it for matters in which you are currently or will in future be a legal representative. This clause remains part of the legal review draft.

Consultation Booking

Consultations last 30 minutes. During office hours, the fee is BHD 30 per half hour, at our office or via Zoom. Appointments begin every half hour from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Sunday to Thursday, Bahrain time. The last appointment starts at 3:30 p.m. and ends at 4 p.m.

Outside office hours, including Friday and Saturday, the fee per half hour is BHD 60, via Zoom only. The client specifies the requested time and time zone. Prices are the same for clients within and outside Bahrain. The total is calculated according to duration and displayed before payment. No prior approval from the firm is required, and the booking is confirmed after successful payment.

Cancellation Before Work Begins

The client may cancel a consultation and request a full refund within 24 hours of completing payment, provided the consultation has not begun. After 24 hours from payment, the fee is non-refundable if the client cancels. This does not apply if the firm cancels or cannot provide the consultation and does not prejudice any rights provided by law. Cancellation or rescheduling requests should be sent to info@alyaalzeera.com. Alternative appointments are subject to availability.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Bahrain.
