Has anybody used netlawman.ie before?
It's all templates for contracts,they charge for them.they also say they have solicitors in Ireland that will look over your contract and make it water tight for a fee.

It's a low fee in comparison to legal fee terms.

I just want to know has anybody used this service before and is it legit.

I would be very careful. They are UK-based and not only will there will be differences in law, but potentially unappreciated gaps / overlaps.

Cheers victor.
The site says the use/have irish solicitors.I'm not so sure now though.

I emailed them a few questions last night. The site says expect a reply in 24 hours. I was up early for work this morning (4a.m.) checked my email and bingo, a reply.

Not an automatic reply either,a detailed one of which template to work from. The time of the reply set off a little alarm bell.

Templates are only good for template law.

From experience I have learned there is no such thing.

Best of luck with it. I suspect they have rather large disclaimers

Indeed they do -

11.3 We make no representation or warranty that any Service or Licensed Product will be:

11.3.1 useful to you;

11.3.2 of satisfactory quality;

11.3.3 fit for a particular purpose;

11.3.4 available or accessible, without interruption, or without error.

11.4 Except in the case of death or personal injury, our total liability under this agreement, however it arises, shall not exceed the sum of €1,000. This applies whether your case is based on contract, tort or any other basis in law.

11.5 We shall not be liable to you for any loss or expense which is:

11.5.1 indirect or consequential loss; or

11.5.2 economic loss or other loss of turnover, profits, business or goodwill even if such loss was reasonably foreseeable or we knew you might incur it.

11.6 If you become aware of any breach of any term of this agreement by any person, please tell us by email to support@NetLawman.ie. We welcome your input but do not guarantee to agree with your judgement.

11.7 Some Services or Licensed Products you might buy on Our Website are provided by solicitors or barristers in practice. Those Services may be subject to the rules and regulations of the professional bodies of which those providers are members. You have the benefit of their professional indemnity insurance and of other professional safeguards.

11.8 The fact of your buying Services from a practising solicitor or barrister does not of itself indicate that the service is suitable for your use. Advice is inevitably limited by the scope of your instructions and the time available for the drawing of advice. If you require a full service, it may be necessary to re-instruct your lawyer for further help.

11.9 From time to time, we make arrangements for Net Lawman documents and/or services to be available through co-operation with a third party. You may therefore find that you are transferred to Our Website in order to obtain fulfilment of the obligations of that third party. That introduction does not affect your obligations or ours in connection with the provision of a Service by us.

11.10 Services provided by Net Lawman are provided "without liability". We make no representation and give no warranty with respect to any of the Services. We do not suggest any document or Service is suitable for your particular use. We are not and do not pretend to be a firm of solicitors. But we are members of the Association of Publishers of Online Legal Documents.

11.11 Documents are provided as template versions for you to edit and change to suit your circumstances.

11.12 Documents may include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors.

11.13 Advice given and documents drawn specially for you are appropriate only to the facts and circumstances you have told us about. If you do not give us full instructions, it is possible that our advice may also be incomplete.

11.14 We are not responsible for any action you decide to take as a result of using a Service or buying a Licensed Product.

11.15 The Net Lawman Service does not extend to our handling of your "case", nor will we generally contact any third party on your behalf without a special arrangement. Accordingly, we are under no obligation to undertake any work for you beyond what has been specifically agreed.

11.16 Our Website contains links to other Internet web sites. We have neither power nor control over any such web site. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable in any way for the content of any such linked web site, nor for any loss or damage arising from your use of any such web site.

11.17 Advice given and documents produced by Net Lawman are valid only within the jurisdiction of Republic of Ireland.

Wow.

The disclaimer is totally inconsistent with their assertion that their documents are legally binding.

Personally, I'd be wary of bargain bin template documents from any source.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I have decided to steer clear. Amazing how the ts&cs are so contradictory.amazing.
Excellent work everybody.thanks very very much.

Just write your own T&Cs, keep them simple and be aware of selling directives and consumer law. You'll only need to test them if something 'goes legal' and if it does the best bet is just to cave at that point. If you're dealing with large sums of money then use a solicitor.
