2. Nature of Latin Counsel
Latin Counsel is an international legal media and publishing platform providing news, interviews, analysis, rankings, reports, directories, newsletters, advertising, sponsored content and other editorial and commercial products.
Latin Counsel is not a law firm, financial adviser, tax adviser, investment adviser, broker, fiduciary or provider of individual professional advice.

3. Business and professional use
The services are primarily intended for lawyers, law firms, companies, professional advisers, institutions and professional or business users.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, anyone purchasing services or submitting Content on behalf of an organisation represents that they have authority to bind that organisation.

4. Definitions

Subscriber means any person or organisation accessing a subscription or subscription-based product.
Client includes Advertisers, Subscribers and any person or organisation purchasing, ordering or using Latin Counsel services.

Order means any booking, accepted proposal, contract, written instruction, email confirmation, online order or invoice relating to Latin Counsel services.

5. Scope and contractual priority
All Orders and services are subject to these Terms.
Terms included by a Client in any purchase order, vendor portal, form, email or other document that conflict with these Terms shall not bind Latin Counsel unless expressly accepted by Latin Counsel in writing.
In the event of conflict, the following order of precedence applies:
a specific agreement signed by Latin Counsel;
an expressly accepted Order or proposal;
these Terms & Conditions.

6. Electronic contracting
Contracts, Orders, acceptances and consents may be entered into electronically.
Where permitted by law, placing an order, electronically accepting a proposal, selecting an acceptance box, providing affirmative email confirmation, making payment or using a service after being presented with these Terms may constitute electronic acceptance.
Nothing in this provision overrides mandatory requirements applicable to a particular transaction.

7. Acceptance of Orders
No Order is binding upon Latin Counsel until accepted in writing, confirmed by email, invoiced, paid or performance has commenced.
Latin Counsel may accept or reject Orders at its discretion and may request information, documentation, materials, compliance confirmations or payment details before performing services.

8. Prices, invoices and payments
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, invoices must be paid in full within 30 days of the invoice date.
Prices may be quoted in USD, EUR, GBP or other currencies.
Clients are responsible for banking fees, currency conversion charges, payment processor charges and other costs associated with their chosen payment method.

9. Taxes and withholding
Prices exclude taxes, duties, withholding taxes or other governmental charges that are legally the responsibility of the Client unless expressly stated otherwise.
Where a Client is legally required to withhold an amount that reduces the payment received by Latin Counsel, the Client shall, where legally permissible and unless otherwise agreed, increase the payment so that Latin Counsel receives the full net invoiced amount.

10. Non-payment and collection
Latin Counsel may suspend services, access, publications or campaigns where invoices are overdue.
To the extent permitted by law, Clients shall be responsible for reasonable debt recovery expenses, including administrative expenses, banking fees and reasonable legal fees.

11. Chargebacks
Clients must contact Latin Counsel in good faith before initiating a chargeback or payment reversal.
Where a chargeback lacks a valid basis, Latin Counsel may suspend services and recover the outstanding amount and reasonable expenses arising from the dispute.

12. Subscriptions
Subscriptions are for the named Subscriber or subscribing organisation only and may not be resold, transferred, sublicensed or externally shared without authorisation.
Subscription benefits are those specified in the applicable package.

13. Renewals
Purchasing a subscription does not create a right to renew on identical terms.
Latin Counsel may modify prices, products, benefits, formats and conditions for subsequent subscription periods.
There is no automatic renewal unless expressly stated and accepted.

14. Cancellations and refunds
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, cancellation must be notified within seven days of the relevant Order.
Once work has commenced, access has been provided, publication or advertising space reserved, Content prepared, a report delivered or the service otherwise commenced, Latin Counsel may charge the full agreed amount.
Except where required by law or expressly agreed in writing, payments are non-refundable after that point.

15. Editorial independence
Latin Counsel maintains editorial independence.
Advertising, subscriptions, sponsorship, participation in reports, commercial relationships or payments to Latin Counsel do not guarantee:

• editorial coverage;
• publication of news;
• favourable treatment;
• inclusion or position in rankings;
• awards or recognition;
• recommendations;
• referrals;
• endorsements; or
• any particular editorial outcome.
• Editorial and commercial decision-making may be managed independently.

16. Editorial discretion
Subject to applicable law, Latin Counsel retains editorial discretion concerning:
story selection; angle; headline; length; wording; structure; translation; editing; updating; categorisation; imagery; publication date; placement; distribution; promotion; archiving; correction; suspension and removal.
Submission of information or payment for a service does not give the submitting party editorial control over Latin Counsel unless expressly agreed in writing.
Nothing in these Terms constitutes a waiver of any editorial, journalistic, freedom of speech or freedom of the press protections available to Latin Counsel under the Constitution and laws of the United States or other applicable law.

17. Sources and editorial information
Latin Counsel may prepare Content using sources including:

• press releases;
• information provided by law firms and companies;
• interviews and statements;
• official documents;
• judicial decisions;
• public records;
• websites;
• third-party publications;
• databases;
• governmental bodies;
• publicly available information; and
• Latin Counsel’s own editorial research.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, reliance on a source does not mean that Latin Counsel independently guarantees every representation made by that source.

18. Third-party submissions
Any person submitting Content represents that, to the best of their knowledge, the Content is accurate, lawful and suitable for publication.
The submitting party is responsible for clearly communicating any relevant restriction, embargo, correction, rights issue or circumstance affecting publication.
Latin Counsel has no contractual obligation to discover information withheld or omitted by the submitting party.

19. No right of prior approval
Unless expressly agreed in writing, no interviewee, Client, Advertiser, source, law firm, company or subject of an article has any right to:

• approve the final publication;
• approve the headline;
• control translations;
• require particular imagery;
• determine placement;
• approve editorial amendments; or
• prevent publication.

Voluntary submission of a statement, response or interview constitutes authorisation for publication and editing in accordance with these Terms.

20. Embargoes, off-the-record information and editorial confidentiality
An embargo, confidentiality condition, "off the record", "background", "not for publication" restriction or similar limitation is binding upon Latin Counsel only where expressly accepted in writing by Latin Counsel before the relevant information is supplied.
A unilateral confidentiality legend in an email, document or press release does not by itself create a contractual confidentiality obligation on Latin Counsel.
Privileged, attorney-client protected, confidential or commercially sensitive information should not be submitted unless its treatment has first been expressly agreed.

21. Quotes, statements and interviews
Anyone providing a quote, interview, comment or statement confirms that they are authorised to provide it and that it may be published.
Latin Counsel may edit material for length, grammar, clarity, house style, formatting or translation while seeking not to materially alter its intended meaning.

22. Corrections
Correction requests should be submitted to info@latincounsel.com, clearly identifying the publication and alleged error.
Latin Counsel may investigate and correct material factual errors where it considers appropriate.
Corrections may be implemented through amendment, updating, an editor’s note, clarification or another mechanism considered appropriate.

23. Updates and removal of published material
The fact that a publication is no longer recent, has become unfavourable, relates to a person whose employment has changed or is no longer commercially desirable to its subject does not require Latin Counsel to delete it.
Latin Counsel may retain published material for journalistic, historical, documentary and archival purposes.

24. Requests for response
Latin Counsel may, where editorially appropriate, seek or publish a response from a person or organisation concerned by a story.
These Terms do not create an automatic contractual right to a response, any particular length of response or publication of a response in full, except where mandatory law provides otherwise.

25. Legal takedown requests
Anyone alleging that published Content infringes legal rights should contact info@latincounsel.com with sufficient information to:

• identify the Content;
• identify the claimant;
• describe the right allegedly infringed;
• explain the factual and legal basis for the request; and
• provide reasonably available supporting documentation.

Latin Counsel may investigate, seek further information, reject, accept in whole or part, correct, restrict access to or remove the relevant Content.
Submission of a complaint does not constitute an admission of liability and does not guarantee removal.

26. Official records and proceedings
Latin Counsel may report on judicial, administrative, regulatory, legislative and other matters of public interest using lawfully available records and sources.
Nothing in these Terms limits any defence, privilege or protection available under applicable law in respect of reports concerning official proceedings or records.

27. Copyright, quotation and fair use
Nothing in these Terms restricts rights available to Latin Counsel under United States copyright law, including fair use under 17 U.S.C. §107, or equivalent exceptions recognised under other applicable laws.
Whether a particular use constitutes fair use depends on the circumstances of that use.

28. Third-party Content and Section 230
Latin Counsel may host, transmit, display, edit, moderate, select or distribute information supplied by third parties.
To the fullest extent recognised by applicable law, nothing in these Terms waives protections that may be available to Latin Counsel in respect of information provided by third parties, including, where applicable, protections under 47 U.S.C. §230.
This provision does not purport to extend those protections beyond their statutory scope or to matters excluded from them by law.

29. Advertising and sponsored content
Latin Counsel may publish advertising, sponsored content, partner content, sponsored profiles, banners, sponsored interviews and other commercial material.
Latin Counsel may use labels including Advertising, Advertisement, Sponsored, Sponsored Content, Partner Content or other identifiers it considers appropriate to distinguish commercial material from editorial Content.
Advertisers may not require Latin Counsel to remove an advertising or sponsorship disclosure that Latin Counsel considers legally, regulatorily or editorially appropriate.

30. Advertising standards
Advertisers warrant that advertising material:

• is truthful and not misleading;
• can be substantiated where it contains objective claims;
• complies with applicable professional rules;
• contains no unlawful claims;
• does not violate third-party rights;
• properly identifies relevant commercial relationships where required; and
• complies with applicable advertising and marketing laws.

Latin Counsel may refuse or amend advertising that it believes may be misleading or create legal, regulatory or reputational risk.

31. Endorsements and testimonials
The appearance of a person, law firm, company, product or service in Latin Counsel does not constitute an endorsement by Latin Counsel unless expressly stated.
Advertisers are responsible for ensuring that endorsements, testimonials, reviews, quotations and commercial claims they provide are genuine, authorised and not misleading.

32. Press releases
Latin Counsel may publish, summarise, translate, rewrite or use information contained in press releases.
Publication of a press release or material derived from it does not mean that Latin Counsel independently confirms every representation made by its issuer.

33. Rankings, reports and directories
Rankings, reports, directories, surveys and analysis are editorial and informational products.
Latin Counsel may determine and modify, in its editorial discretion:

• methodology;
• criteria;
• categories;
• jurisdictions;
• eligibility;
• weightings;
• sources;
• timetable;
• format; and
• presentation.

Participation does not guarantee inclusion or any particular result.

34. Information supplied for rankings
Participants represent that information submitted for rankings, reports and surveys may be used for the relevant editorial and research purposes.
Latin Counsel may compare submissions with other sources and is not required to accept any participant’s statement as accurate.

35. No ranking guarantee
Rankings reflect criteria, information and editorial judgment applied at a particular time.
They are not certifications of quality, guarantees of professional performance or advice regarding the engagement of any lawyer, law firm or other service provider.

36. Photographs, logos and materials
Any party supplying photographs, images, logos, graphics, videos or other materials represents that it has the rights and permissions necessary to allow publication.
Latin Counsel has no obligation to independently verify the chain of title for every material supplied to it.

37. Licence to submitted Content
By submitting Content for publication or use by Latin Counsel, the submitting party grants Latin Counsel, to the extent necessary for the relevant purposes, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable licence to:
edit, reproduce, translate, publish, display, distribute, archive, adapt, promote and communicate that Content through the website, newsletters, reports, directories, social media, marketing and other Latin Counsel channels.
The submitting party represents that it has authority to grant this licence.

38. Latin Counsel intellectual property
Unless otherwise indicated, Latin Counsel or its licensors own the applicable rights in its:
brand; website; software; databases; design; structure; selection and organisation of Content; original articles; rankings; reports; newsletters; methodologies; directories; graphics; formats and other materials.
Public availability of Content does not constitute a waiver of those rights.

39. Permitted use
Users may view and use publicly available Content for lawful personal or internal professional purposes.
Nothing grants a right to systematically reproduce, distribute, commercialise or exploit Latin Counsel Content.

40. Scraping, crawling and automated extraction
Unless authorised in writing by Latin Counsel, users may not employ robots, crawlers, spiders, scrapers, scripts, harvesting, text and data mining or other automated technologies to systematically extract, download, index or collect Latin Counsel Content or data.
Circumvention of technical restrictions, access controls, rate limits or other mechanisms protecting the website or its databases is also prohibited.

41. Artificial intelligence
Unless authorised in writing, Latin Counsel Content may not be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, improve or develop artificial intelligence systems, machine learning systems, large language models, search engines, data products or competing services.
This restriction applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and does not restrict rights or exceptions that cannot lawfully be excluded.

42. Unauthorised access
Users must not attempt to obtain unauthorised access to Latin Counsel systems, accounts, servers, databases, code, restricted areas or infrastructure.
Deliberate service interference, malware deployment, credential stuffing, password extraction, circumvention of security controls and similar conduct are prohibited.

43. Copyright complaints and DMCA
Latin Counsel respects intellectual property rights.
Notices alleging copyright infringement should sufficiently identify:

• the copyrighted work;
• the allegedly infringing material;
• its location on Latin Counsel;
• the complaining party’s contact details;
• a good-faith statement concerning lack of authorisation;
• a statement concerning the accuracy of the notice and authority to act; and
• a physical or electronic signature where required.
• DMCA notices should be sent to Latin Counsel’s designated agent:

Latin Counsel may remove or disable access to material in accordance with applicable law and process counter-notifications where appropriate.

44. Repeat infringers
Where the DMCA applies, Latin Counsel may suspend or terminate accounts or access of users who repeatedly infringe copyright in appropriate circumstances.

45. Legal and professional information
Latin Counsel Content is provided solely for general informational, journalistic, editorial and professional purposes.
It does not constitute legal, tax, financial, regulatory, investment or other professional advice.
Laws change and may vary materially between jurisdictions.
Users should obtain independent professional advice before making decisions based on matters described in Latin Counsel.

46. No attorney-client relationship
Accessing Latin Counsel, submitting an enquiry, reading an article or interacting with an author, lawyer or law firm mentioned in a publication does not create an attorney-client relationship with Latin Counsel.
Nor does it create a fiduciary, agency or professional advisory relationship.

47. Accuracy and currency
Latin Counsel seeks to publish useful and high-quality information but does not warrant that all Content is:
complete; accurate; error-free; current; permanently available; or suitable for a particular purpose.
Laws, individuals, appointments, transactions, investigations, litigation and other circumstances described may change after publication.

48. External links and services
Latin Counsel may contain links, embeds or references to third-party websites and services.
Latin Counsel does not control or warrant their Content, security, accuracy, availability, privacy policies or business practices.

Latin Counsel may suspend credentials it reasonably believes have been compromised or used without authorisation.

50. Newsletters and communications
Latin Counsel may send newsletters, publications, alerts, commercial communications, information concerning reports, rankings, events, products and advertising opportunities in accordance with applicable law.
Recipients may unsubscribe from commercial communications using the mechanisms provided.
Marketing opt-out does not prevent necessary transactional, contractual, administrative, security, billing or service communications.

51. Data protection
Personal data is processed in accordance with Latin Counsel’s Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.
Any party providing third-party personal data to Latin Counsel represents that it may lawfully do so and has satisfied applicable notification, authorisation, consent or lawful-basis requirements.

Clients, Advertisers, Subscribers and contributors must comply with applicable laws concerning:
economic sanctions; export controls; anti-corruption; anti-bribery; anti-money-laundering requirements where applicable; advertising; intellectual property; privacy and professional conduct.
Latin Counsel may refuse or suspend relationships that it considers legally problematic.

53. Right to refuse relationships for risk reasons

54. Service availability
Latin Counsel does not warrant uninterrupted operation of its website, newsletters, payment systems, databases, archives or digital services.
Maintenance, errors, cyber incidents, hosting failures and third-party service failures may occur.

• breach of advertising or professional rules;
• misuse of Latin Counsel;

65. Governing law
These Terms and contractual relationships governed by them shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, together with applicable United States federal law.
