Services are provided primarily in English. Thai-language versions of documents are available where specified. Services are generally available to clients based in or connected to Thailand, though initial consultations may be conducted remotely. Specific availability may vary by service type.

• Cooperate reasonably with requests for documentation or further information

5. Intellectual Property

All content on the Karuna website — including text, layout, and graphics — is the intellectual property of Karuna unless otherwise stated. You may not reproduce, distribute, or use this content for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent.

Documents and agreements prepared for you as part of a service engagement are provided for your personal use and may not be resold or used as templates for third parties.

6. Payment Terms

All fees are quoted in Thai Baht (THB) and are payable in advance of work commencing unless otherwise agreed in writing. Current service fees are as follows:

• Prenuptial and Marital Agreement: from ฿5,800 THB per engagement
• Spousal Maintenance Guidance: from ฿1,850 THB per engagement
• Child Custody and Support Arrangements: from ฿3,400 THB per engagement

Fees are fixed for the defined scope of each service. Where the scope changes materially, any additional fee will be agreed with the client before additional work proceeds.

Refunds: Fees paid for services not yet commenced may be refunded upon request. Fees for work that has already been carried out are not refundable, except where Karuna has failed to deliver the agreed service.

7. Service Delivery Terms

• We will confirm the scope of each engagement in a service summary provided at or before commencement
• Timelines are indicative and may vary depending on the complexity of the matter and the responsiveness of all parties involved
• Changes to the agreed scope should be requested in writing and will be subject to a revised fee estimate
• We will maintain confidentiality in respect of all information shared with us in the course of an engagement
• We will provide advice to the best of our professional ability and in accordance with Thai law as it stands at the time of the engagement

8. Disclaimers

Information on our website is provided for general guidance only and does not constitute legal advice. Legal outcomes depend on individual circumstances, and no specific result can be assured in any legal matter.

Engaging Karuna does not create a solicitor-client relationship in jurisdictions outside Thailand. Clients are responsible for verifying that advice received from us is appropriate for any jurisdiction other than Thailand.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Thai law, Karuna's liability in connection with any service is limited to the fees paid by the client for that service engagement.

We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, or incidental loss arising from the use of our services or website, including loss arising from reliance on general website content rather than formal engagement.

We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, including court delays, actions of third parties, or circumstances constituting force majeure.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Karuna harmless from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your use of our website, or the provision of inaccurate or misleading information in connection with a service engagement.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate a service engagement by giving written notice. Upon termination, fees for work already carried out are payable. Karuna may also terminate an engagement where a conflict of interest arises, where the client has provided materially inaccurate information, or where continued engagement is no longer appropriate for professional or ethical reasons.

Sections relating to confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability survive termination of any engagement.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand. The courts of Bangkok shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes that cannot be resolved through informal means.

In the first instance, disputes should be raised directly with us at [email protected]. We will endeavour to resolve any concern promptly and in good faith.

13. General Provisions

• Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with any service engagement letter, constitute the entire agreement between the parties.
• Severability: If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect.
• Waiver: A failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce it in future.
• Assignment: You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign our obligations with prior notice.
• Notices: Formal notices should be sent by email to [email protected].

14. Changes to These Terms
