Terms of Use

Conditions for Using the Dovetail Law Review Platform

This page explains the rules that apply when you browse attorney profiles, read client ratings, or submit your own review. By accessing the site, you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of the platform.

1. Purpose of the Service

Dovetail Law operates as an independent review platform. We publish verified client feedback and structured ratings for legal professionals in South Africa. The content is intended to help consumers compare attorneys based on communication quality, fee transparency, case handling, and overall satisfaction. We do not provide legal advice, and nothing on this site should be treated as a substitute for professional consultation.

2. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to verify that submitted reviews relate to a completed legal matter and that the attorney named is correctly identified. However, we do not independently investigate the factual claims made in individual reviews. Ratings and narrative summaries reflect the personal experience of the client who submitted them. We encourage readers to consider multiple reviews and to consult directly with an attorney before making a decision.

3. User Responsibilities

When submitting a review, you confirm that you have been a client of the attorney or law firm you are rating, and that the matter has concluded. You agree to provide honest, factual feedback and to avoid defamatory language, hearsay, or disclosure of confidential information. You are solely responsible for the content you post. We reserve the right to remove any review that violates these standards or that appears fraudulent or misleading.

4. Intellectual Property

The design, layout, text, and original content on this site are owned by Dovetail Law or its licensors. You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, distribute, or modify substantial portions of the site without prior written consent. Reviews submitted by users remain the property of the respective authors, but by posting you grant us a non-exclusive license to display and distribute the content on this platform.

5. Limitation of Liability

The information on this site is provided on an "as is" basis. We do not guarantee that attorney profiles are complete, current, or free from errors. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dovetail Law shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on reviews, ratings, or other content published here. Your decision to engage a legal professional is made at your own discretion and risk.

6. Termination of Access

We may suspend or terminate access to the platform for users who breach these terms, submit fraudulent reviews, or attempt to manipulate ratings. If you believe a review is inaccurate or unfair, you may contact us to request a review of the content. We will assess each request on its merits and may remove or edit content that clearly violates our guidelines.

7. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in the service or legal requirements. The current version will always be available on this page, and the effective date will be noted at the top. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If you have questions about this document, contact us at info@dovetaillawyers.com.
