Terms & Conditions
Last Updated: 7 June 2025 | Effective Date: 7 June 2025
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of this website and your engagement with the legal advisory services provided by Rattanathorn. Please read them before contacting us or using our services. By engaging our services, you agree to these terms.
1. Definitions
- "We / Us / Our" refers to Rattanathorn, a legal advisory practice registered and operating in Bangkok, Thailand.
- "You / Client" refers to any individual who contacts us, engages our services, or uses this website.
- "Services" refers to the pension legal advisory services described on this website: Pension Eligibility Review, Survivor & Dependant Benefit Claims, and Documentation & Records Preparation.
- "Engagement" refers to the agreement formed when a client confirms they wish to proceed with one of our services and we accept the matter.
- "Website" refers to the site accessible at rattanathorn.live.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By using this website or engaging our services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, have the legal capacity to enter into agreements under Thai law, and agree to be bound by these terms. If you are acting on behalf of another person (for example, an elderly relative), you confirm that you are authorised to do so.
3. Service Description
Rattanathorn provides legal advisory services related to pension matters under Thailand's Social Security framework. Our services are available to individuals and families based primarily in Thailand. We operate from Bangkok and serve clients in person and remotely. Full service descriptions are available on our Solutions page.
The information on this website is for general guidance only and does not constitute legal advice specific to your situation until a formal engagement has been agreed.
4. User Responsibilities
When using our website or engaging our services, you agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information about your situation
- Notify us promptly of any changes to your circumstances that may affect your matter
- Not use this website for any unlawful purpose
- Not submit false or misleading information through our contact forms
- Not reproduce or distribute content from this website without our written consent
5. Intellectual Property
All content on this website — including text, layout, and graphics — is the property of Rattanathorn or its licensors. You may view and print content for personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, or republish website content without our prior written permission. Written summaries and advice documents we prepare for you as part of an engagement are for your personal use in connection with your pension matter.
6. Payment Terms
Our service fees are stated in Thai Baht (THB) and are communicated to you before any work begins. Payment is due upon commencement of each service, unless otherwise agreed in writing. We accept bank transfer and cash payments at our office. Receipts are provided for all payments.
If a matter is more complex than initially assessed, we will discuss any additional scope and associated cost with you before proceeding. You are under no obligation to authorise additional work.
Refunds: If we are unable to begin work on your matter after payment has been received, we will refund the full amount. Once substantive work has commenced, refunds are considered on a case-by-case basis and reflect work completed to date.
7. Service-Specific Terms
Each service has defined scope as described on our Solutions page. You agree that:
- Timelines depend in part on third-party responses (e.g., Social Security Office) which we cannot control
- We will keep you informed of any delays and their likely cause
- Scope changes are agreed in writing before additional work begins
- You are responsible for the accuracy of documents and records you provide to us
8. Disclaimers
Legal matters involve uncertainty, and outcomes depend on many factors outside our control. While we bring relevant expertise and work diligently on every matter, we cannot promise a particular result. Our services are provided on the basis of reasonable professional care and skill, not as a warranty of any outcome.
Website content is provided in good faith for general information. It may not reflect the most current regulatory changes and should not be relied upon as specific legal advice without formal engagement.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by Thai law, our total liability to you in connection with any service shall not exceed the fee paid for that service. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of this website or our services. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud or gross negligence.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify Rattanathorn against any claims, losses, or costs arising from your breach of these terms, the provision of false or misleading information, or your use of this website in an unlawful manner.
11. Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement at any time by written notice. If you terminate mid-engagement, payment is due for work completed to the date of termination. We reserve the right to withdraw from a matter if we receive incomplete or materially incorrect information, or if continuing would conflict with our professional obligations. Sections relating to payment, liability, and dispute resolution survive termination.
12. Dispute Resolution
These terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand. In the event of a dispute, we encourage you to contact us first so we can seek to resolve the matter informally. If that is not possible, disputes shall be referred to the courts of Bangkok, Thailand.
13. General Provisions
- Entire Agreement: These terms, together with any written engagement letter, constitute the entire agreement between us.
- Severability: If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect.
- Waiver: Failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of that right.
- Assignment: You may not transfer your rights under these terms without our written consent.
- Notices: Formal notices should be sent to our address or email below.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms periodically. Changes take effect when posted on this page. Continued use of this website or our services after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We will notify active clients of material changes by email.
