3. Service Description

Delima Firm provides specialist legal advisory services in mergers and acquisitions, including:

• Due diligence and pre-transaction advisory for acquirers and investors
• Transaction documentation drafting and negotiation support
• Post-merger integration legal support and restructuring advisory

Services are available to clients in Malaysia and, where applicable, to parties engaged in cross-border transactions with a Malaysian nexus. The Firm reserves the right to decline or discontinue instructions at its professional discretion.

4. Client Engagement

A formal client-lawyer relationship is established only upon:

• Completion of the Firm's client onboarding process, including Know Your Client (KYC) verification
• Issuance and acceptance of an Engagement Letter setting out the scope of work, fees, and terms
• Receipt of any required initial payment or retainer

Use of this website, submission of an enquiry form, or informal communication does not create a solicitor-client relationship. No legal advice should be relied upon until a formal engagement has been confirmed in writing.

5. User Responsibilities

When using this website or engaging our Services, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and current information as reasonably requested
• Cooperate promptly with reasonable requests for documentation or information
• Not use this website for any unlawful, misleading, or improper purpose
• Not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website or its systems
• Not transmit harmful, disruptive, or offensive content through any communication channel
• Maintain the confidentiality of any access credentials issued by the Firm
• Comply with all applicable Malaysian laws in connection with your use of the website and Services

6. Intellectual Property

All content published on this website — including text, design elements, templates, and firm branding — is the intellectual property of Delima Firm and is protected under Malaysian copyright law and applicable intellectual property statutes.

Clients are granted a limited, non-transferable licence to use legal work product delivered by the Firm solely for the purpose for which it was produced and in connection with the relevant transaction. This licence does not extend to reproduction, resale, or adaptation of Firm-authored content for other purposes without prior written consent.

Any documents, data, or materials provided to the Firm by a Client remain the property of that Client. The Firm is granted a licence to use such materials solely for the purpose of delivering the agreed Services.

7. Payment Terms

Fees for Services are as set out in the applicable Engagement Letter. General payment terms include:

• Fees are quoted in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) unless otherwise agreed
• Invoices are due within 14 days of issuance unless alternative terms are set out in the Engagement Letter
• The Firm may require a retainer or initial payment before commencing work
• Out-of-pocket disbursements (filing fees, search fees, courier costs) will be billed at cost
• Late payment may result in suspension of Services at the Firm's discretion

Refunds: Fees for work completed or materially commenced are not refundable. Where a matter is terminated before completion, fees will be assessed proportionately based on work performed. Disbursements already incurred will be charged regardless of instruction status.

8. Confidentiality

Delima Firm maintains strict confidentiality regarding all client information and transaction details as required by professional obligations and the Legal Profession Act 1976. This duty survives the conclusion of any engagement.

Clients are similarly requested to maintain the confidentiality of any proprietary legal analysis, internal methodologies, or work product delivered by the Firm that has not been expressly released for external circulation.

9. Disclaimers

The Firm makes no representation that the website will be available without interruption, error-free, or free from technical issues. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue any aspect of the website without notice.

Legal outcomes cannot be assured. The Firm's advice represents professional opinion based on available information at the time of instruction; it does not represent a commitment to any specific outcome in a transaction or dispute.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by Malaysian law, the Firm's aggregate liability arising from or related to the provision of Services — whether in contract, tort, or otherwise — shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client for the specific matter giving rise to the claim during the preceding 12-month period.

The Firm shall not be liable for:

• Indirect, consequential, or special losses not reasonably foreseeable at the time of engagement
• Loss of profit, goodwill, or business opportunity
• Losses arising from reliance on website content without formal engagement
• Third-party actions outside the Firm's reasonable control

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable Malaysian law.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement by providing written notice. The Firm may terminate an engagement with immediate effect in the event of:

• Non-payment of fees beyond agreed terms
• Material breach of these Terms or the Engagement Letter by the Client
• Circumstances that require withdrawal under professional conduct rules
• The Client providing materially false or misleading information

Upon termination, the Client remains liable for all fees and disbursements incurred to the date of termination. Provisions relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, and limitation of liability survive termination.

12. Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Malaysia. In the event of a dispute:

1. Informal resolution: The parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution by raising the issue in writing within 30 days of the dispute arising.
2. Mediation: If informal resolution is unsuccessful, either party may refer the matter to mediation under the Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC) rules.
3. Jurisdiction: Disputes that cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

13. General Provisions

• Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the applicable Engagement Letter, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter and supersede any prior representations or discussions.
• Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
• Waiver: Failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other right.
• Assignment: You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without prior written consent from the Firm.
• Notices: Formal notices under these Terms should be submitted in writing to [email protected].

14. Changes to Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Continued use of this website or ongoing engagement with the Firm following any change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. For significant changes affecting active client engagements, we will endeavour to provide advance notice.
