Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. Not legal or professional advice

This site provides general, educational information about the Companies Act, 2017 and related notifications issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). It is not legal, tax, or professional advice, and using it does not create an advocate–client, accountant–client, or any other professional relationship between you and the operators of this site, HH & Co, Chartered Accountants, or iecnet sksss, Chartered Accountants. Always verify any information here against the original Gazette notification or SECP publication, and consult a qualified professional before making decisions that affect your company's compliance position.

3. Accuracy and currency of content

The statute text on this site is reproduced from the Companies Act, 2017 as published by SECP, amended up to 16 February 2024. Commentary, plain-language explanations, checklists, and the SECP-update timelines shown alongside each section are prepared independently by our team and reflect our best understanding at the time of writing. Not every section has been fully reviewed and enriched, and SECP frequently issues new circulars, S.R.O.s, and notifications — we make no warranty that this site reflects every change or that any given page is complete or up to date. Where a "Last verified" date appears on a section, it indicates only when that page was last checked, not that no further changes have occurred since.

4. External links

This site links to SECP's official website and may link to other government, regulatory, or professional websites. We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for the content, accuracy, or availability of any external site, and a link does not imply any affiliation with or approval of that site's operator. You access external links at your own risk and subject to that site's own terms.

5. Intellectual property

The text of the Companies Act, 2017 and official SECP notifications reproduced on this site are government publications. The organisation, commentary, summaries, checklists, and other original content we have added around that statutory text belong to the operators of this site. You may view and reference this material for your own professional or business use; you may not republish, redistribute, or commercially exploit our original commentary without permission.

6. No warranty

This site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, HH & Co, Chartered Accountants, iecnet sksss, Chartered Accountants, and their respective partners, employees, and the AI team involved in building this site shall not be liable for any loss or damage of any kind arising from your use of, or reliance on, this website or its content, including any decision made or action taken on the basis of information found here.

8. Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms of Use at any time. Continued use of the site after a change is posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The "Last updated" date above will change whenever we do.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
