Last Updated: August 22, 2026
1. Acceptance of These Terms
Welcome to The Virtual Law PH.
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of thevirtuallawph.com (the “Website”), operated by The Virtual Law PH through Atty. Jonathan Lualhati Pacuribot (“The Virtual Law PH,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).
By accessing or using this Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by applicable laws and regulations.
If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Website.
These Terms govern your use of the Website only. They do not constitute an engagement agreement for legal services.
2. Purpose of the Website
The Website is intended to provide general information about The Virtual Law PH, its legal practice areas, consultation process, and related legal information.
The Website may also provide information intended to help visitors understand legal issues and determine whether to seek professional legal assistance.
Information provided through the Website is not intended to replace individualized legal advice based on the particular facts and circumstances of a legal matter.
3. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Your access to or use of this Website, including sending an inquiry, requesting a consultation, or communicating through the Website, does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.
An attorney-client relationship is established only through the appropriate engagement process and, where applicable, execution of an engagement agreement.
Until an attorney-client relationship has been established, you should not assume that information you provide through the Website or through an initial inquiry is protected in the same manner as information provided within an established attorney-client relationship, except to the extent confidentiality or other legal protections independently apply.
4. Consultations
The Website may allow visitors to request or schedule a legal consultation.
A consultation is intended to provide an opportunity to discuss a legal concern and consider possible legal options.
A consultation does not automatically constitute an engagement for continuing legal representation.
Any legal representation or other legal service beyond the consultation will be subject to the applicable terms of engagement, scope of services, fees, and other conditions agreed upon between the lawyer and client.
5. Accuracy and Changes to Website Information
We make reasonable efforts to provide information that is accurate and useful.
However, laws, regulations, jurisprudence, procedures, and legal circumstances may change over time.
Accordingly, information appearing on the Website may not always reflect the most recent legal developments or may not apply to a particular person’s circumstances.
We may update, modify, remove, or replace Website content at any time without prior notice.
6. User Responsibilities
When using the Website, you agree to:

10. Website Availability and Security
We endeavor to maintain the Website’s availability and security but do not guarantee that the Website will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or free from security vulnerabilities.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate security measures on the device and internet connection you use to access the Website.
11. No Guarantee of Legal Outcome
Nothing on the Website should be understood as a promise, guarantee, or representation concerning the outcome of any legal matter.
Legal outcomes depend on the facts and circumstances of each matter, applicable law, evidence, procedure, and decisions of courts, tribunals, government agencies, or other authorities.
Past experience or information concerning previous matters should not be understood as a guarantee of a particular result in another matter.
12. Limitation of Website Use
To the extent permitted by applicable law, The Virtual Law PH shall not be responsible for losses arising solely from reliance on general information published on the Website without obtaining appropriate professional advice concerning the specific circumstances involved.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit any responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under Philippine law.
13. No Waiver
If we do not immediately enforce any provision of these Terms, that does not mean that we waive our right to enforce that provision later.
Any waiver must be made in a manner permitted by applicable law.
14. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be interpreted or modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its intended purpose, where legally permissible.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update or modify these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the Website, our services, applicable laws, regulations, or other circumstances.
When changes are made, the updated Terms will be posted on this page and the “Last Updated” date will be revised.
Your continued use of the Website after updated Terms are posted constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
16. Governing Law
These Terms shall be interpreted and governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without prejudice to applicable mandatory provisions of law.
Any dispute concerning these Terms shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts or tribunals in accordance with applicable Philippine law.
