NO LEGAL ADVICE

We provide general information and templates that may be used to address commonly encountered legal issues. At no time do we review your answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice, opinions or recommendations about your legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms, or strategies, or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation. We are not a law firm and may not perform services performed by an attorney. The Company, its services, and its forms or templates are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney. We strongly advise that you seek review of a licensed attorney of any template documentation acquired through this website.

Because the law changes rapidly, we cannot guarantee that all of the information or any of the templates generated and offered on this website is completely current. The law is different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and may be subject to interpretation by the courts of each such jurisdiction. The law is generally context-dependent, and no general information or template can fit every circumstance.

REFERRAL TO ATTORNEY

When you use our Services, you will have the opportunity to initiate contact with an attorney (an "Attorney") for limited consultations, as defined by the engagement agreement that will be provided to you. Attorneys are neither employees nor agents of the Company. Any communications with Attorneys are not necessary to utilize our services. However, if you choose to communicate with a Attorney, please note the following:

• When you contact a Participating Attorney, he or she may provide you with an initial consultation, legal review of your forms or documents, or answers to your legal questions. Please note that any such interaction is intended to be a starting point for dealing with a legal matter or addressing basic legal questions and any attorney-client relationship formed during the course of that interaction is strictly between you and the Attorney only. The relationship between you and us is separate and apart to any relationship established between you and an Attorney.

• When you contact an Attorney, he or she may ask you for some information regarding you and your legal affairs in order to properly address your questions. While our Privacy Policy governs our interactions and information you share with us, any information that you share with that Attorney is outside the scope of our Privacy Policy and is governed by your attorney-client relationship with the Attorney.

• Any attorney-client relationship formed during the course of that interaction may, at your option, either (i) end when the interaction with the Attorney ends, or (ii) continue if you wish to engage the Attorney for further legal services.

• If you wish to create an attorney-client relationship with an Attorney that extends beyond your use of our Services, that relationship will be on whatever terms you establish with the Attorney in question. We do not set, control or influence any legal services provided by the Attorney.

• Attorneys may be paid by us for Services performed on your behalf, however, we do not receive any share of legal fees collected by any attorneys in our network. We are merely a conduit for the relationship as a value-add for our users. We will not influence or interfere in any way with any Attorney’s independent professional judgment. Attorneys reserve the right to refuse to perform legal services on your behalf in their sole discretion.

We do not endorse or recommend any attorney, including any of the Attorneys to whom we may refer you. We make no representation or warranty as to the qualifications or competency of any Attorney or as to the accuracy or completeness of any Attorney's work.

WE SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR ANY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RENDERED BY ANY ATTORNEY YOU ENCOUNTER ON OR THROUGH OUR WEBSITE, AND ANY USE OR RELIANCE ON SUCH PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
