Website terms of use
The short rules for using this site: what the information here is, and what it is not; what you may do with the guides, calculators and sample texts; and who is responsible for what.
Looking for how to write terms of use for your own business website? That is not this page. See the guide website terms and conditions.
1. Who runs the site
The site meiri.co is run by Yaron Meiri, Adv. & CPA, an independent law office, 2 HaSdera HaAkademit St., Kiryat Ono. Telephone +972-50-431-3155, email meiri.yaron@gmail.com. Using the site requires no registration and involves no payment.
2. General information, not legal advice
- The guides, explanations and answers on the site are general information. They are not legal advice and do not replace a review of your own case.
- Law and case law change, so pay attention to the update date shown in each guide. Pages marked “archived article” are not updated.
- Reading the site, sending a form, a WhatsApp message or a first call do not create an attorney-client relationship. Such a relationship arises only under a written agreement.
- Do not send documents or confidential details before the first call. Documents are provided after a conversation, through a channel we agree on. Remember that legal deadlines keep running: if a deadline is close, say so in your first message.
3. Calculators and self-checks
- The calculators and self-checks on the site give an estimate only. It is calculated from the data you entered and the general rules known when the tool was last updated.
- The estimate does not take every circumstance into account, such as a collective agreement, an extension order, a personal contract, new case law or updated amounts and rates.
- Do not file a claim, sign or waive a right on the strength of the result alone. Check it first against your documents and, if needed, with a lawyer.
- The data you enter in a calculator stays in your browser. It is not sent to the firm unless you choose to send it yourself, for example on WhatsApp.
4. Sample texts and templates
- Sample texts on the site, such as demand letters, letters to a business or contract clauses, are for your personal use in your own matter.
- A sample text is a starting point. It has to be adapted to the facts, documents and deadlines of your case, and checked to make sure it fits before you send it.
- The sample texts may not be distributed, sold or republished, or used to provide services to others, without the firm’s written permission.
5. Responsibility
The firm tries to keep the information on the site accurate and up to date, and gives its sources and the date it was checked. Still, the information is general and not tailored to your case, so do not rely on it as a substitute for personal advice. Nothing in these terms exempts the firm from any liability it has under the law, or takes away any right or remedy you have under the law.
The site links to other sites, such as statutory texts, decisions and publications of authorities and the media. Their content is the responsibility of whoever publishes it.
6. Copyright
- The texts, guides, tables, calculators and design of the site are protected by the firm’s copyright.
- You may read, print and save a copy for personal use, and share a link to any page.
- You may quote short passages with attribution and a link to the page, to the extent of fair use under section 19 of the Copyright Law, 5768-2007.
- Copying a guide, or a substantial part of it, to another site or publication is not allowed without written permission.
- There is no copyright in statutes, regulations and judicial decisions (section 6 of the Copyright Law). Where the site quotes them, the binding text is the official text.
- The name, logo and photograph of Yaron Meiri, Adv. & CPA are not for use by others.
7. Use of the site
Do not use the site in a way that harms it or other users: attempting to break into systems, running harmful code, sending forms automatically or sending abusive content. Automated reading of the site is allowed under the rules in the file robots.txt.
8. Privacy and accessibility
What happens to the information you provide, and who holds it, is explained in the privacy policy. The accessibility arrangements of the site and the office are set out in the accessibility statement.
9. Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated. The date at the top of the page shows when they were last updated. A change applies from the day it is published, and not to anything done before it.
10. Governing law and jurisdiction
Israeli law applies to the use of the site. A dispute about the site will be heard by the competent court in Israel under the law.
