Act). These GTC are to be considered and treated as general contract terms as referred to in Section 6:77 of Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code (hereinafter: Civil Code).
Establishment of the Engagement By utilizing the legal services, Clients establish an attorney-client relationship with Dr. Beatrix Bóné, Attorney. The Attorney provides legal services in all cases in exchange for the payment of a legal fee. Based on the facts presented, the Attorney performs the task with legal proficiency, primarily taking into account the Client's representations of the facts.
In matters requiring document drafting, legal countersignature, and legal representation in real estate registry procedures, the engagement is initiated through contract formation via telephone or e-mail, provided that the engagement is formalized in writing prior to the countersignature. If the client requires other legal services (e.g., additional legal advice), the engagement is established once the Attorney confirms it electronically.
The Attorney identifies Clients as necessary, in accordance with the Act on the Prevention and Combating of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (AML Act), the Att. Act, and the internal regulations of the Hungarian Bar Association.
The Attorney excludes liability for confirmation if the confirmation does not reach the Client because the Client provided an incorrect e-mail address, or cannot receive messages due to the storage capacity of the account being full, or if the Attorney's message is classified as spam due to storage settings.
Electronic Legal Services Attorney engagements performed by the Attorney that do not require document drafting, in particular, but not limited to, legal advice (hereinafter collectively: Electronic Legal Services), may also be concluded through electronic contracting. In this case, the legal service qualifies as an information society service under Section 2, point 11 of Act CVIII of 2001 on certain issues of electronic commerce services and information society services. The electronic contract is concluded electronically by the Client and the Attorney by filling out the electronic order form.
If, following the use of Electronic Legal Services, the Client provides a further engagement to the Attorney, that shall no longer qualify as an Electronic Legal Service.
Ordering Electronic Legal Services is possible through the following Online appointment booking system: booked4.us digital calendar. The digital calendar of Dr. Beatrix Bóné, Attorney-at-law, is available at the following URL: [dr. Bóné Beatrix ügyvéd - Időpontfoglalás]

Legal services requiring personal appearance are provided at the Attorney's office at a pre-arranged time.
If the performance of the legal activity includes the countersignature of a document (e.g., a sale and purchase agreement) where a contracting party (seller, usufructuary seller) has not engaged the drafting attorney for the specific matter, the drafting attorney is obliged to inform this party in writing before the signing of the document that the countersignature does not create an engagement relationship with the drafting attorney. If the contracting party acts with legal representation, this notification may be omitted.

If a transaction requiring document drafting and countersignature fails before the signing of the contract, the Attorney is entitled to a fee in proportion to the services already performed instead of the agreed engagement fee.
