DISCLAIMER: NO LEGAL SERVICES PROVIDED

Company has recognized that the general public can greatly benefit from enhanced access to legal resources and information, and has created the Website to fulfil this purpose. However useful this access to such resources and information may be, such access does not take the place of legal representation when necessary or appropriate. Accordingly, all users need to be aware of the following and all use of the Website and Company services is undertaken by you with such understanding and acknowledgement:

  • The Website cannot and does not provide legal advice. Company is not a law firm and does not engage in the practice of law, and our employees do not act as your lawyer or provide legal advice or representation. The Company Services are merely self-help services that you may use in your sole discretion. Company does not provide any kind of legal advice, explanation, opinion, or recommendation to you about possible legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms or strategies. You are and will be representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake through use of the Company Services.
  • Advertisements on the Website for lawyers or information provided by lawyers do not establish an attorney-client relationship between you and such lawyers or between you and the Website.
  • Although information you submit is subject to our Privacy Policy, it is not protected by any attorney-client privilege and, other than as set forth in the Privacy Policy, you have no expectation of privacy or confidentiality of communications occurring through the Company Services.
  • All resources and information on or accessible through the Website are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be a substitute for professional legal advice.
  • The Website makes reasonable efforts to maintain the currency and accuracy of all information presented. However, we cannot guaranty such currency or accuracy, both because laws change and also because we are not always able to verify the accuracy of all information provided to or developed by the Website. Furthermore, you should be aware that the law can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and courts can give varying interpretations depending upon the situation to which the law is applied. Accordingly, before taking any actions based upon such information, please confer with appropriate legal or other professional counsel. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL COMPANY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY RELIANCE ON INFORMATION CONTAINED ON OR OBTAINED THROUGH THE WEBSITE. SUCH RELIANCE SHALL BE SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
  • The hiring of an attorney is a critical decision and should not be predicated solely on comments, recommendations, advertisements, or other materials contained on the Website or any other website. Company does not select, approve, or otherwise endorse any particular attorney, law firm, or provider of legal services on the Website. Any and all such recommendations are from third parties and are inherently subjective in nature, could be inaccurate or incomplete, and are difficult or impossible to verify. Therefore, Company expressly disclaims any representation or warranty that such materials are correct or reliable.
  • If you are an attorney participating in any aspect of the Website, including but not limited to the Company Services, you acknowledge that the Rules or Codes of Professional Conduct ("Rules") of the jurisdictions in which your are licensed apply to all aspects of your participation and that you will abide by such Rules.
