2.3. The Law Firm provides consultations solely in legal issues arising from the law of the jurisdiction where the Law Firm is registered, and the laws enacted by the European Union. The Law Firm may offer opinions on matters related to the laws of other jurisdictions; however, these shall not be considered as legal advice, and the Law Firm will not assume liability for the accuracy of such opinions.
2.4. Upon completing any Assignment (for the sake of clarity: the task agreed to be undertaken by the Law Firm, as defined in the Special Terms), the Law Firm will not update or amend any information, opinions, or documents provided to or prepared for the Client due to changes in legal acts, development of case law, or changes in circumstances.
2.5. For the purposes of carrying out the Assignment, the Client authorizes the Law Firm and it’s Attorneys to represent the Client using the broadest possible powers under applicable laws (including, but not limited to: represent the Client in courts, in state and local institutions and in relations with any natural and legal persons; and conducting negotiations on behalf of the Client).

2.7. With the Client’s consent, the Law Firm may engage external consultants, including foreign law firms and other WIDEN law firms, if their services are necessary to complete the Client’s Assignment.

The Client remains solely liable for the instructions given to the external consultants as well as for the payment of their fees and other compensation to the external consultants.
2.8. Legal services on behalf of the Law Firm are provided by the members of the Bar Association (e.g. attorneys, assistant attorneys) (Attorneys) of the jurisdiction where the Law Firm is registered (Local Bar Association).

2.9. If an Attorney or any employee of the Law Firm is appointed as a trustee in bankruptcy, trustee in inheritance, restructuring / reorganisation adviser, liquidator, or arbiter, the Attorney or employee shall not be considered to be acting as an attorney fulfilling an assignment for the Client, the Agreement shall not apply to activities of the Attorney or employee in such capacities and the Law Firm shall not be liable for any actions taken by the Attorney or employee in such capacities.

3.1. The Client shall abide by all the terms set out in the General Terms and Special Terms.
3.2. The Client shall provide the Law Firm with all relevant information and documents related to the Assignment and shall inform the Law Firm about any changed circumstances.

3.3. The Client undertakes not to take any action that may lead to a breach of any sanctions (including national sanctions, sanctions of the European Union, sanctions of any North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Member States or other international sanctions) affecting significant financial and capital market interests, and to take preventive measures to avoid any breach or intentional or unintentional circumvention of such sanctions.

4. FEES

4.1. The Client pays the Law Firm for legal services provided based on the provisions set out in the Special Terms or as agreed between the Client and the Law Firm via email.
4.2.

Such email agreements shall be binding on both parties without the need for an amendment to the Special Terms.
4.3. Should a third party join the Client’s obligation to pay the fees for the legal services, the terms set out in the General Terms related to the payment for the legal services shall apply. Upon a third party’s joining of the Client’s obligation to pay the fees, the third party shall not obtain the Client’s rights under the Agreement.
4.4. The Law Firm tracks the time spent on performance of the Assignment in a time-tracking system. The minimum time tracking unit will not exceed 15 minutes.
4.5. The Law Firm has the right to change agreed hourly fee rates unilaterally upon notice to the Client at least 30 calendar days in advance. If the Client does not accept the new hourly fee rates, the Client may terminate the Agreement by notice to the Law Firm within 20 calendar days from the date of notice. If termination does not occur, the new rates will apply.
4.6. If the Client requests legal services with urgency or requiring work outside regular business hours (Monday to Friday, 09:00 – 18:00), on weekends, or public holidays, the Law Firm may apply an urgency surcharge of 1.5 times the standard hourly rate for evening work and 2 times the standard hourly rate for weekends or public holidays. The surcharge applies only if the Client explicitly requests expedited handling and is informed in advance where possible.
4.7. Fee estimates provided by the Law Firm are always indicative and based on information available to the Law Firm at the time the estimate is given. Fee estimates are binding, if the Law Firm has indicated that the estimate is binding in e-mail and if there are no changes in the scope of the Assignment since making the binding fee estimate.
4.8. The Law Firm has the right to require advance payments for services and expenses upon the entry into the Agreement and throughout the validity of the Agreement.
4.9. In certain cases, a success fee may be agreed upon between the Law Firm and the Client via emails or in the Special Terms. Success fee is payable if the specific outcome agreed via emails or in the Special Terms (as applicable) is achieved and is additional to any hourly or fixed fees incurred. The terms of success fee arrangement, including the success criteria and fee calculation, will be detailed in the email correspondence or in the Special Terms (as applicable) and will form a binding agreement between the parties.
4.10. The Client may, provided that there is an agreement to this effect in (at least) a form reproducible in writing, pay deposits to the Law Firm’s deposit account. The deposit is a sum of money transferred by the Client to a separate, non-interest bearing bank account of the Law Firm, which remains the property of the Client. The Law Firm has the right to use it to pay any invoice not paid by the Client on time. Upon the termination of the Agreement, the Law Firm will return the remaining deposit balance to the Client. The Law Firm is not obligated to pay interest to the Client on the funds held in the deposit or to compensate the Client with any interest that the financial institution may have paid to the Law Firm for holding the deposit. The Law Firm warns the Client that, in the event of the Law Firm’s bankruptcy, the funds in the Law Firm’s deposit account may be considered part of the Law Firm’s bankruptcy estate.

5. EXPENSES AND INVOICING

5.1. The Law Firm may take such action as it considers necessary or advisable in order to carry out the Assignment, and may incur reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in performing the Assignment (including, but not limited to, costs associated with travel, translations, notary fees, stamp duties, courier services, obtaining information from databases). The Client agrees to pay for those out-of-pocket expenses in addition to fees. It is assumed that fee estimates (indicative or binding) do not include out-of-pocket expenses.
5.2. If hourly rates are agreed and if not agreed upon otherwise, the Law Firm charges the Client for the time its personnel spend administrative work directly related to the Assignment and commuting to the Client or to any third person or institution while performing services, telephone calls related to the Client’s matters, including calls with the Client, other advisors of the Client or opposing counsel.
5.3. The Law Firm invoices on a monthly basis, unless agreed or practical otherwise. The term for payment of an invoice is 7 calendar days. If the Client has not raised reasonable objections about the invoice within 5 calendar days, the Client is deemed to have accepted the invoice and any claims related thereto are deemed to have expired.
5.4. Value added tax is added to fees in the cases and at the rate set by the law.
5.5. If the Client is required to deduct or withhold any taxes or other sums (such as bank charges) from any amount payable under an invoice of the Law Firm, the Client will pay and bear such taxes or other amounts, and ensure that the Law Firm receives the full amount of the invoice as if no such deduction or withholding was required.
5.6. If payment of an invoice is delayed, the Law Firm may suspend the provision of legal services and charge interest at the rate of 0.05% on the overdue amount for each day of delay until full payment by the Client of amounts overdue.
5.7. The Client will reimburse to the Law Firm any and all expenses incurred by the Law Firm in relation to the collection of any amounts overdue.

6. CONFLICT OF INTEREST

6.1. Before accepting any Assignment, the Law Firm conducts an internal conflict-of-interest verification procedure in order to ascertain that the Law Firm is free to accept the Assignment under Local Bar Association requirements.
6.2. Notwithstanding the verification procedure, circumstances may arise that prevent the Law Firm from acting for the Client in an ongoing or future matter. In these situations, the rules of professional conduct of the Local Bar Association regulating conflicts of interest apply, and the Law Firm may terminate the Agreement without indicating the specific reason or source of the conflict of interest.
6.3. The Agreement does not create mutual exclusivity. The Client may use the services of other law firms. The Law Firm may provide legal assistance to other persons and execute assignments which do not contradict with Client’s interest in an active Assignment, including provision of services to persons operating in the same industry as the Client, or persons with interests potentially adverse to the interests of the Client. The Law Firm may, from time to time – including during the duration of the Agreement or while carrying out the Client’s Assignment and afterwards – offer legal advice on matters not related to the Client, and may also represent or defend other clients whose interests might not align or may conflict with those of the Client.
6.4. Conflict-of-interest obligations and verifications by the Law Firm are presumed to be on an Attorney level and not on a whole Law Firm level.

7. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION AND ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS

7.1. The Client agrees to exchange communication electronically. The Client is aware of the risks deriving from electronic communication: messages may get delayed or lost, confidential and personal information may be intentionally or unintentionally modified or stolen or disclosed to third parties. The Law Firm is not liable for risks related to electronic communication. The Law Firm is not obligated to encrypt its email messages.
7.2. Measures taken to protect electronic communication and to ensure its confidentiality and preservation by the Law Firm may, in certain cases, block e-mail communication from the Client. The Client will follow up on important e-mail messages by phone or request the Law Firm to confirm the receipt of an e-mail.
7.3. The Law Firm is not liable for any non-fulfilment of obligations caused by cyber-attacks, malware or any intrusion to or interference with the IT systems or communication channels of the Law Firm.
7.4. After the completion of the Assignment or the termination of the Agreement, the Law Firm shall return all original documents in its possession in relation to the Assignment. The Law Firm need not store or make available any documents or information related to a completed Assignment.

8. KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER, ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND VAT INFORMATION

8.1. Under the regulations on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing and non-proliferation and application of financial sanctions (the AML Rules), in certain situations, the Law Firm must identify the Client, persons acting on the Client’s behalf, ultimate beneficiaries of the Client, and possibly other persons related to the Client. The Law Firm may also request information on the origin of the Client’s assets or other circumstances to better know the Client. The Law Firm may be obliged to and has the right to decline or suspend an Assignment and report to the authorities and comply with their lawful instructions if the Client fails to provide the required information, if a transaction is suspicious, or if there is a suspicion of terrorist financing, money laundering or circumvention or violation of sanctions.
8.2. Although the Law Firm is professionally and legally obliged to avoid disclosing information concerning its clients and legal services provided to them, applicable law may require the Law Firm to inform the authorities of transactions involving the use of cash in excess of the defined thresholds, or if it becomes known to the Law Firm or the Law Firm has reason to suspect that any given transaction carried out in the Client’s name may be in violation of AML Rules. If it appears to be necessary for the Law Firm to give notice of issues relating to money laundering or sanctions at any time while representing or advising the Client, the Law Firm may not be permitted to inform the Client about the notification or the reasons for it.
8.3. In certain cases defined by the law, the Law Firm may have to provide information to the Tax, Revenue and Customs authorities on the VAT registration number of the Client and the value of services purchased by the Client. Additionally, in certain cases, the authorities and trustees in bankruptcy may require submission of invoices issued by the Law Firm and annexes thereto.
8.4. The Law Firm may also make information available to outsourced service providers if the Law Firm has outsourced certain activities related to AML Rules and to commercial banks and other providers of financial services to enable them to perform their statutory obligations related to the enforcement of AML Rules.
8.5. If the Client has submitted information to the Law Firm regarding its beneficial owner, punishments or violations, the Client undertakes to notify the Law Firm of relevant changes within 3 calendar days in case of an active customer relationship or otherwise before assigning an additional assignment to the Law Firm.
8.6. The Law Firm has the right to suspend or terminate the provision of legal services and the Agreement if any information that does not correspond to the risk appetite of the Law Firm in the field of prevention of money laundering or sanctions concerning the activities or transactions of the Client or persons related to it becomes evident. The Client understands and accepts that, in such circumstances, the suspension or termination of the provision of legal services and/or the Agreement does not constitute a violation of the Agreement. In the event of termination of the Agreement or suspension of legal services, the Client shall not be entitled to claim any loss or damage from the Law Firm arising from of the suspension of legal services or termination of the Agreement. The Client shall remain obliged to pay any fees to the Law Firm in accordance with the Agreement for the Services provided to the Client prior to the termination of the Agreement or suspension of legal services.

9. PERSONAL DATA, PRIVACY AND SHARING DATA WITH OTHER WIDEN OFFICES

9.1. The Law Firm processes the data of the Client and the persons directly related to the Client (e.g. employees, representatives, and counterparties) when providing legal services in accordance with applicable legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) and applicable national data protection laws.
9.2. The Client confirms that it has a legal basis for transferring personal data to the Law Firm and, where required, data subjects are informed about the Law Firm’s Privacy Policy (the Privaatsustingimused) accessible at https://widen.legal/privacy-policy/. The Privacy Policy explains how the Law Firm collects and uses information when processing personal data as a data controller while providing legal services.
9.3. The Client must inform the Law Firm of any particular processing measures it requires in respect of personal data transferred to the Law Firm before the entry into the Agreement or promptly upon any later requirements if such requirements emerge after the entry into the Agreement.
9.4. For the purpose of fulfilment of the Client’s Assignment, the Law Firm may process personal data as a data controller or, exceptionally, as a data processor.
9.5. With utmost care of confidentiality and subject to the protection of attorney-client privilege by all relevant WIDEN law firms, the Law Firm may — but is not obligated to — share the Client’s business and personal data, as well as conflict-of-interest information and assignment-related information, with other WIDEN law firms (i.e., the WIDEN offices in other jurisdictions as listed in the contacts section of the Law Firm’s website) for the purposes of conflict-of-interest checks, compliance with AML Rules, and the potential or ongoing provision of services. Such sharing does not impose any conflict-of-interest obligations on those other offices, nor does it grant the Client any other rights or privileges with respect to those other WIDEN law firms, unless specifically agreed in a written or reproducible format.

10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

10.1. Copyright and other intellectual property rights in all work product generated by the Law Firm throughout the fulfilment of the Assignment belong to the Law Firm. However, the Client may use such work products of the Law Firm for the purposes of the Assignment for which the Client has received the product.
10.2. The Client may not make any work product generated by the Law Firm publicly available, unless agreed otherwise via email or unless the right to publicise the product arises from the content of the product (e.g. when the Law Firm is assigned to create the public terms of use for the Client).

11. CONFIDENTIALITY

11.1. Subject to the law and exclusions set out in the Special Terms and/or General Terms, the Law Firm will keep confidential all Client information that becomes known to the Law Firm while providing legal services in line with the rules of professional conduct.
11.2. Unless agreed otherwise in the Special Terms, the Law Firm may disclose to third parties the fact that the Client is a client of the Law Firm and the general nature of finished assignments. Additional information on legal services provided to the Client may be disclosed by the Law Firm without the Client’s consent if and to the extent such information has entered the public domain before the disclosure by the Law Firm. The Law Firm may use the Client’s trademark or logo when sharing allowed information as prescribed above in this section.
11.3. In matters involving publicly listed companies, the Law Firm shall comply with applicable securities laws, apply the Law Firm’s internal policy relating to insider information, and maintain a register of insiders.
11.4. If necessary for the provision of legal services, or if the obligation derives from the law, the Law Firm may disclose to third persons (including notaries, translators, banks and state authorities) confidential information and documents regarding the Client without separate consent from the Client. If the Client instructs the Law Firm to use the services of other service providers for the provision of legal services or if the Client agrees to the use of other service providers suggested by the Law Firm, the Law Firm may, unless clearly agreed otherwise, disclose to them such confidential information and materials as the Law Firm considers necessary for the performance of the Assignment.
11.5. The Law Firm is also entitled to disclose information entrusted to it by the Client and/or relating to legal services provided to the Client in the course of professional investigation either in disciplinary or ethics procedures, when the review or investigation is conducted under the rules of the Local Bar Association.
11.6. The Client understands and accepts that such measures, being mandatory obligations of the Law Firm or necessary to maintain a relationship with its contractual partners (particularly commercial banks, accounting service providers, professional software such as a CRM, PSA, etc.), do not constitute a breach of confidentiality.
11.7. The Law Firm has the right, but not the obligation, to retain copies of the Client’s materials indefinitely after the completion of the Assignment. If the Client wishes for the Law Firm to destroy the copies of the Client’s materials in the Law Firm’s possession after the completion of the Assignment, the Client is obliged to inform the Law Firm of this in a way that is reproducible in writing within 6 months of the Assignment’s completion.
11.8. The Law Firm is entitled disclose the contents of the Agreement where and to the extent necessary to prove that a client-attorney relationship exists between the Client and the Law Firm and for the purposes of carrying out its obligations and/or exercising its rights under this Agreement (incl. collection of unpaid fees or expenses).

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

12.1. The Law Firm’s liability to the Client is limited to direct damage caused to the Client through the provision of legal services up to triple the amount of fees paid or payable for the Assignment. The Law Firm is not liable for the loss of profit or non-proprietary damage. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Client has been advised in the same matter by an advisor other than the Law Firm, the liability of the Law Firm is always limited to its pro rata share of the total damage.
12.2. The liability of the Law Firm to the Client will be reduced by insurance indemnities or compensation for damage received by the Client under an insurance policy or any other agreement, unless contrary to the Client’s agreement with the insurer or third party or if the Client’s rights against the insurer or third party are thereby restricted.
12.3. The Client shall indemnify the Law Firm for any claim by any third party against the Law Firm if the Law Firm incurs liability towards that third party as a result of providing services to the Client. The Law Firm is not liable for damage caused by advice or documents provided to the Client if used for any purpose other than that which they were originally prepared for.
12.4. The Law Firm is liable only to the Client and is not liable for damage that may be caused to any third person.
12.5. The Law Firm shall have no liability for services provided by other law firms (including other WIDEN offices) or external professionals irrespective of whether they are engaged at the initiative of the Law Firm or the Client, provided that the Client has been informed about engagement of such other professionals. The Client agrees that the Law Firm engages other professionals on the basis of agreements concluded with them separately and does not bind such professionals to these General Terms. If other WIDEN offices are engaged, their services will also be subject to these General Terms.
12.6. The liability of the Attorneys or other persons engaged by the Law Firm in the provision of legal services is excluded to the maximum extent permitted by the law.
12.7. Under any circumstances, the aggregate liability of the Law Firm, its directors, attorneys or other employees in respect of all losses suffered or incurred by the Client under or in connection with this Agreement shall be limited to the Law Firm’s insurance cover.

13. TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT

13.1. The Client may terminate the Agreement at any time by notifying the Law Firm in writing or via e-mail.
13.2. The Law Firm may terminate the Agreement for any reason by serving a notice in writing or via e-mail 14 calendar days prior or, for a valid reason, with immediate effect. A valid reason for termination by the Law Firm includes the emergence of a conflict of interest, the Client’s material breach of this Agreement, the Client’s expression of lost of trust in the Law Firm or a specific Attorney, the Client’s failure to pay fees, costs or advance payments of the Law Firm in a timely manner, the Client’s refusal to cooperate with the Law Firm or to follow the Law Firm’s advice on a material issue, the Client’s non-responsiveness to reasonable request of instructions by an Attorney or any fact or circumstance that would render the Law Firm’s continuity of representation unlawful or unethical, including where the Law Firm identifies an activity or facts with characteristics that refer to the use of criminal proceeds or terrorist financing or violation of sanctions or the commission of related offences or an attempt to do so or with regard to which the Law Firm suspects or knows that it constitutes money laundering or terrorist financing or violation of sanctions or the commission of related offences.
13.3. Upon the termination of the Agreement, the Client will pay to the Law Firm any outstanding fees for legal services provided as well as the expenses incurred before and up to the termination of the Agreement.
13.4. Upon entering into a new agreement for legal services, previous agreements for legal services between the Client and the Law Firm will be considered as terminated on the date of concluding the newest agreement for legal services. For the sake of clarity, the latter will not apply to project-based agreements which will continue to apply to the corresponding projects.
13.5. Should the Client not have provided any new assignments, the Agreement shall be considered automatically terminated in 6 months from the conclusion of the latest assignment. Should the Client re-engage with the Law Firm and provide a new assignment, the Agreement shall be renewed in accordance with the latest hourly fees and the then-current General Terms published on the Law Firm’s website.

14. GOVERNING LAW

14.1. The Agreement is exclusively governed by the law of the jurisdiction where the Law Firm is registered.

15. CLAIMS

15.1. If the Client has a complaint or claim regarding activities by the Attorney or another person engaged by the Law Firm in performing an Assignment, it must be delivered to the Law Firm in writing. Any claim for damages must be filed against the Law Firm no later than 12 months from the date the respective legal service was provided. After 12 months, the right of the Client to file a claim will expire.
15.2. If the Client’s claim against the Law Firm is based on a claim by a third party (including public authorities) against the Client, the Law Firm may respond to and settle the claim with the third party on behalf of the Client, provided that the Law Firm indemnifies the Client for any direct damage related to it. If the Client settles a claim, compromises or otherwise takes action relating to the claim without the Law Firm’s consent, the Law Firm has no liability for the claim. If the Client is compensated by the Law Firm or by the insurers of the Law Firm in respect of a claim, the Client assigns the right of recourse against third parties to the Law Firm or, if requested by the Law Firm, to its insurers.

16. DISPUTES

16.1. Unless otherwise agreed upon in the Special Terms, all disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, shall be resolved exclusively by the court of the specific jurisdiction where the Law Firm that the Client claims has committed an alleged omission, is registered.

Mandatory legal provisions may require an alternative dispute resolution procedure, which the Parties must adhere to. The law of the country where the Law Firm is registered, as indicated in the Special Terms, shall apply to the Agreement and any claims arising out of or related to the provision of the Agreement and the provision of legal services. Should the Client have engaged with multiple WIDEN Law Firms of different jurisdictions, the law applicable to the specific Law Firm in the corresponding jurisdiction shall apply.

17. NOTICES

17.1.
