Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing the JONES DAY website or contacting us through WhatsApp, Signal, Crisp chat, or any other channel, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use our services.

2. Nature of Our Services

JONES DAY provides fraud recovery consulting, blockchain forensic analysis, scam intelligence, and legal coordination support for victims of cryptocurrency fraud, romance scams, investment fraud, and other online financial crimes. We are a consulting and investigative practice, not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice. Any legal information we share is for general informational purposes only; you should consult a qualified attorney for legal decisions specific to your case.

3. No Guarantee of Recovery

While we apply advanced forensic techniques, blockchain tracing tools, and coordinated legal strategies, recovery outcomes depend on factors beyond our control, including exchange cooperation, the jurisdiction of the scammer, the anonymity of blockchain transactions, and the timeliness of reporting. JONES DAY does not guarantee the recovery of any funds, assets, or information. No statement on our website, in our communications, or during consultations constitutes a guarantee of any particular result.

4. Confidentiality

All information you share with us will be treated as confidential to the extent permitted by law. However, to pursue recovery we may need to disclose certain information to cryptocurrency exchanges, financial institutions, law enforcement agencies, or legal authorities. By engaging our services, you consent to such limited disclosure as necessary to advance your case.

5. Fees and Payment

We operate on a contingency or hourly fee structure depending on the nature and complexity of each case. Specific fee arrangements will be outlined in a separate engagement agreement. Initial consultations are provided free of charge. All fees are disclosed before any work begins, and no payment is required until you agree to the terms of engagement.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, JONES DAY and its employees, partners, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of our services or website. Our total liability shall not exceed the fees paid by you, if any, for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, icons, and case materials, is the property of JONES DAY and may not be reproduced, distributed, or modified without prior written consent. You may share links to our site for personal, non-commercial purposes.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party sites or services, including WhatsApp, Signal, and Crisp. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of those third-party services.

9. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of our services shall be resolved in the courts of New York County, New York.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of our services after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
