Email Advice Terms and Conditions

Email Advice Terms and Conditions

Consumer Genie will provide you with a tailor-made answer to your consumer query.

You can chose from the following:

1.  Summary Advice.  This is based on your providing a short question or summary of facts in no more than 250 words, and we will provide an answer in no more than 500 words.  The cost of this service is £9.50.

2.  Detailed Advice.  This is based on your providing to us a summary of your consumer query in no more than 1200 words, and we will provide the answer in no more than 1200 words.  The cost of this service is £17.50.

To obtain Email Advice you must complete an Application Form which asks you about what goods or services you have paid for, how and when, and for a summary of the legal issue.

We aim to respond to your email as soon as possible but you should allow up to 7 working days for us to deal with your query.  All replies will be from a qualified lawyer.

We will not have access to previous emails and therefore if you use either service on more than one occasion you will still need to give a summary of the facts and details of any action taken by you so far.

Attachments will not be accepted.

When can Consumer Genie Help?

Our lawyers can advise you if you have purchased goods or services for your personal use from a business in England and Wales (or overseas using a credit card registered in the UK).

When Consumer Genie Cannot Help

Our lawyers will not be able to advise you in relation to:

1.  Any issue that does not relate to a consumer purchase or sale;

3.  Where you have purchased goods overseas and have not used a credit card;

4.  In respect of Timeshare Agreements;

5.  In respect of any solicitor’s negligence or personal injury claims;

6.  Where a conflict of interest exists.  It would be rare for a conflict of interest to arise however, if this is the case we will explain this to you at the time (but we will not necessarily give you full details if it means breaching privacy or personal information of another user);

7.  We cannot advise in respect of goods and services that form part of a statutory obligation (for example, Council Tax or tax);

8.  In respect  of matters falling outside of England and Wales;

9.  In relation to any aspect of criminal law.

What Consumer Genie can do for me

Consumer Genie will provide you with advice and/or practical guidance on how the law relates to your personal issue, and what steps you may be able to take to seek redress.  How much information we will be able to give you will depend on what level of advice you seek from us.

What Consumer Genie Cannot do for me

• We will not contact another party on your behalf;
• We will not assist you if  believe that there is no legal case to answer;
• We are not able to review any previous advice given by us.

If you need more proactive assistance i.e. writing of letters, drafting documents etc, please contact us at www.lezemoresolicitors.co.uk

Complaints

We aim to provide you with tailored information for your use in trying to resolve your dispute.  If you are unhappy with any aspect of our advice then please contact us and will provide you with a copy of our complaints procedure.  As our lawyers are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, if you are unhappy with our response then you may take the matter to the Legal Services Ombudsman.

Payment

Payment for the service is made via paypal.  You do not need to have a paypal account, and payment can be made via debit or credit card.  If payment is not received by us within 15 minutes of your appointment time then the appointment will be declined.
