ABVIG PRIVACY STATEMENT AND POLICES DISCLAIMER

​

ONLINE PAYMENT DISCLAIMER

For the convenience of our clients, ABVIG accepts all major credit cards for payment of invoices. To offer this service, we have partnered with Authorize.net, a credit card processing provider designed specifically for ABVIG. 

Authorize.net uses strict security protocols to ensure that your credit card transactions are secure. We do not store or see your credit card information.

This online payment service is offered for the convenience of our existing clients only. 

Submitting a payment to our office without prior authorization does not create a client relationship, and any payment which cannot be matched with an existing client application will be rejected.

Email is an inherently vulnerable form of communication. When information is transmitted by email, it is broken into packets of data that flow between servers over the internet.

While ABVIG will make commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the security and confidentiality of information transmitted by email; you waive your expectation of confidentiality on all information transmitted between you, ABVIG and any person or entity delivering services for or on behalf of ABVIG.

This site does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and us, even if you contact us by phone or e-mail. You may hire us only once you and I agree, typically in writing.  Any information you provide until then may not be protected under the attorney-client privilege, meaning you should be cautious not to disclose confidential information.
