These Terms of Use were last updated on November 9th, 2017.

 

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE LICENSEDLAWYER.ORG WEBSITE. BY USING LICENSEDLAWYER.ORG AS A VISITOR YOU AGREE THAT SUCH USE CONSTITUTES YOUR ASSENT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SITE. 

LICENSEDLAWYER and its services are owned and operated by EUCLID TECHNOLOGY (referred to hereafter as “We,” “Us” or “Our”). PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS provide listings of their respective attorneys in LICENSEDLAWYER.ORG under a subscription agreement with EUCLID TECHNOLOGY.

1. Description of Services.  Our goal is to assist consumers in searching, finding and connecting with participating lawyers that are licensed in the state in which they provide services. LICENSEDLAWYER is an interactive, computerized, attorney directory. LICENSEDLAWYER offers an online means for lawyers and potential clients to exchange professional qualifications and contact information. You understand that PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY do not endorse any of the lawyers or law firms (collectively referred to hereafter as a “Law Firm”) listed on the site. It is your decision alone whether or not to work with any Law Firm listed on the Site. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY do not receive any portion of any Law Firm's fees for legal services paid by clients and any arrangements subsequently made by you. Your engagement of any Law Firm is strictly between you and such Law Firm and does not involve PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY in any way.

2. Legal Notices. The LICENSEDLAWYER.ORG website (the “site” or “service” or “services”) is provided by PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY. Please carefully review the following basic rules that govern your use of the site. Please note that your use of the site constitutes your unconditional agreement to follow and be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to them, do not use the website, provide any materials to the site or download any materials from it. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice to you, the user. Your use of the site following any such change constitutes your unconditional agreement to follow and be bound by these Terms as changed. For this reason, we encourage you to review these Terms of Use whenever you use this site. These Terms of Use apply to the use of the LICENSEDLAWYER.ORG site and the services offered at the site and do not extend to any linked third party sites. In this Agreement, “we”, “us” and “LICENSEDLAWYER.ORG” means PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY and “you” and “your” means the person using the service, your administrators, executors, successors and permitted assigns, as well as the organization or company on whose behalf you may be acting when you access this site. If you are using the site or services on behalf of a business or organization, your assent to these terms constitutes a binding legal agreement that that business or organization for which you’re acting as a representative accepts these terms. Any such business or organization will hold harmless and indemnify PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY and their employees, directors, officers, shareholders, affiliated companies, agents and representatives, vendors and suppliers from and against any liability, damage, loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or relating to its and your use of the site and services or in violation of these Terms of Use. You understand and agree that we will treat your use of the site and services offered thereon as acceptance of these terms.

3. Establishment of Attorney-Client Relationship. LICENSEDLAWYER.ORG does not provide legal services. The site and its services are simply a directory of lawyers for potential clients seeking legal representation. All of the materials and information on the site are provided for informational purposes only, and may not reflect current legal developments or variances in the law of different jurisdictions. The site does not provide legal advice (although a Law Firm may provide legal advice to you in the event you engage such Law Firm to serve as your legal counsel), and nothing on the site should be construed as legal advice or used as a substitute for legal advice. The materials and information on the site do not necessarily reflect the opinions of PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS or EUCLID TECHNOLOGY. The information on the site is not guaranteed by PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS or EUCLID TECHNOLOGY to be correct, complete, up-to-date, reliable or error-free. The use of the site and services offered at the site does not constitute or create an attorney-client relationship between PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY and any third party or between you and the attorney of any of the Law Firms, their partners, employees, agents or affiliates, or any other attorney associated with the Site. Additionally, the mere receipt of an email from or a "post" on the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship. As between you and a Law Firm, no attorney-client relationship will be established until you and the Law Firm you are engaging have formally accepted the engagement and mutually agree to representation. You understand and agree that the Law Firm you engage to represent you is solely responsible for providing its services to you. You understand and agree that PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY and their employees, directors, officers, shareholders, affiliated companies, agents, vendors or suppliers, or service providers shall not be liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way connected with your use or misuse of the site or its services (including claims against third parties based on malpractice). You understand and agree that any claim arising out of your relationship with a Law Firm advertised on the site shall be brought solely against such Law Firm. YOU SHOULD NOT ACT OR RELY ON THE BASIS OF ANY INFORMATION ON THE SITE WITHOUT SEEKING AND RETAINING THE ADVICE OF A LAW FIRM.

4. Attorney-Client Privilege and Conflicts.

a. Because LICENSEDLAWYER.ORG does not provide legal services and because the site is simply an interactive, computerized attorney directory, your use of the site and its services do not confer the benefits that are part of a typical attorney-client relationship. Accordingly, you should refrain from submitting any confidential information in any post or transmission through the site or its services. The site does not assume responsibility for the protection of confidential information, and it is possible that the dissemination of otherwise confidential information may occur through your use of the site and its services. If information that would otherwise be subject to a legal privilege is posted or transmitted on the site, no assurance can be given that the Site will maintain the privilege. The maintenance of confidentiality or legal privilege of any information posted or transmitted on the site by you, including information transmitted or posted to any Law Firm, is your sole responsibility.

 

b. It is the sole responsibility of the Law Firm to investigate whether there is a conflict of interest such that the Law Firm cannot represent you. The site does not perform a check for legal conflicts of interest or other conflicts that may exist on your part in connection with the engagement of a Law Firm. Determining whether a legal conflict exists is the sole responsibility of such Law Firm. You understand and agree that PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY and their employees, directors, officers, shareholders, affiliated companies, agents, vendors or suppliers, or service providers shall not be liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way arising from any Law Firm’s failure to investigate potential conflicts of interest arising from your use of the site and its services.

You may not upload or transmit any material that infringes or misappropriates any person's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or rights of privacy or publicity or disclose via the site any information the disclosure of which would constitute a violation of a confidentiality obligation or fiduciary duty on your part.

All other trademarks, registered trademarks, product names and company names or logos mentioned on the site and its services are the property of their respective owners. Our reference to any product vendors or service providers, products, services, processes or other information, whether by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier or otherwise, does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship or recommendation thereof.

8. User Submissions. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY do not want to receive confidential or proprietary information from you through the site. By posting, submitting or transmitting any material, information, communication or content (“content”) directly to LICENSEDLAWYER’S site, you (a) agree that such content will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary, (b) agree that PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY will be under no obligation of any kind with respect to such content, and (c) grant to PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY a perpetual, worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully sublicensable and irrevocable license to reproduce, make derivative works from, use, disclose, and distribute the content to others without limitation. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY have no obligation to add authorship attribution of your content. You understand and agree to waive and forego asserting any moral rights you may have in the content. By submitting content to LICENSEDLAWYER, you represent and warrant that you have authority to provide such content to LICENSEDLAWYER, PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY and grant the rights to the content described above, and that doing so does not and will not constitute the infringement or misappropriation of the trade secrets or other confidential information of you or any third party. For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the foregoing and except for content that originates from LICENSEDLAWYER, PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY we do not claim ownership of any content that is transmitted, stored, or processed in your account. You retain all ownership of, control of, and responsibility for content you generate and post.

9. User Representations. By using the site and its services, you represent and warrant to PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY that you are:

a. of legal age and able to form a binding contract with PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY, and

b. not a direct competitor of EUCLID TECHNOLOGY.

IF YOU CANNOT TRUTHFULLY MAKE ALL OF THE ABOVE REPRESENTATIONS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE SITE.

10. User Obligations. You agree that you will:

a. abide by LICENSEDLAWYER’S Terms of Use as may be amended from time to time;

 

b. provide accurate, current and complete information about you as may be prompted by any registration forms on the site (“Registration Data”);

11. Disclosures Regarding Attorney Listings. 

a. THE SITE MAY CONTAIN ADVERTISING MATERIAL OR LAWYER ADVERTISEMENTS. Some jurisdictions may consider the Site to be a form of advertising for legal services and as such may require specific disclosures. Please read the following carefully:

 

b. The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements. Anyone considering a lawyer should independently investigate the lawyer's credentials and ability, and not rely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. Hiring a lawyer is an important process that should not be based solely upon advertisements.

c. LICENSEDLAWYER does not operate as a lawyer-advertising cooperative, lawyer referral service, prepaid legal insurance provider, or similar organization the business or activities of which include the referral of customers, members, or beneficiaries to lawyers for the performance of fee-generating legal services or the payment for or provision of legal services to the customers, members, or beneficiaries in matters for which they do not bear ultimate responsibility.

d. Before you decide to hire any of the Law Firms, ask them to send you free written information about their qualifications and experience. Additional information about the lawyers or Law Firms may also be obtained by contacting the Bar Association in the State in which such lawyers or Law Firms are licensed.

e. No representation is made that the quality of the legal or other services to be performed by the Law Firms is greater than the quality of legal or other services performed by other lawyers. Memberships and offices in legal fraternities and legal societies, technical and professional licenses, and memberships in scientific, technical and professional associations and societies of law or fields of practice do not mean that a lawyer is a specialist, expert, authority or is certified in a particular field of law, nor do such memberships or licenses mean that such a lawyer is more expert or competent than any other lawyer.

f. A description or indication of limitation of practice does not mean that any agency or board has certified such lawyer as a specialist, expert or authority in an indicated field of law practice, nor does it mean that such lawyer is more expert or competent than any other lawyer. We urge all potential clients to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered. The fact that certain attorneys or firms concentrate their practices in the defense of bankruptcy cases (or any other field) is not meant to imply that they have gained any specific type of certification in these areas. Indeed, many states do not recognize certifications of specialties in the practice of law and explicitly state that any such certificate, award or recognition is not a requirement to practice law in those states.

12. Indemnity. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY, their employees, directors, officers, shareholders, affiliated companies, agents, vendors or suppliers from and against any and all claims, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or related to your use or misuse of the site and the services provided on the site, including, without limitation, your violation of these Terms of Use, your infringement or that of any other subscriber or user of your account, of any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity.

13. Limitation of Access and Removal of Access. 

a. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY make commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and provide access to its site and services and will endeavor to provide you with advance warning of restrictions to access due to routine website maintenance. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY, at their sole discretion, however, reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify, suspend, discontinue or terminate the site or services or portions thereof with or without notice. You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, discontinuation or termination of the site or services. You further agree that PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY, their employees, directors, officers, shareholders, affiliated companies, agents and representatives, vendors and suppliers will not be liable to you for the deletion or failure to store any of your content, information, or communications on the site.

 

b. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY are not responsible for screening or reviewing content submitted to the site or services. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY may temporarily or permanently remove any content on the site or services at any time where PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY, in their sole discretion believe the content is in violation of these Terms of Service or where PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY are acting in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. You are advised not to use the site or services as the exclusive storage repository for your information, or communications. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY recommend that you separately store all information and communications submitted to the site and services on other secure servers or with reputable third-party hosting services.

14. Termination. These Terms of Use are effective until terminated by either party. If you no longer agree to be bound by these Terms, you must cease use of this site and the services. If you’re dissatisfied with this site, its content, the services offered on the site or any of these terms, conditions, and policies, your sole legal remedy is to discontinue using this site. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to and use of this site, or parts of this site, or your user name without notice, if we believe, in our sole discretion, that such use is (i) in violation of any applicable law; (ii) is harmful to our interests or the interests, including intellectual property or other rights, of another person or entity; or (iii) where PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY have reason to believe that you are in violation of these Terms of Use. Termination for any reason shall not terminate any of your warranties or any of your indemnification and other obligations under these Terms of Use, except as specifically provided in these Terms. In the event of Termination of this Agreement by PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY, you are prohibited from accessing the site and its services using the identity or Registration Data of any other person.

15. Links to Third Party Sites and Materials. 

a. This site may contain links or allow you to make use of Add-Ons that connect to sites owned or operated by independent third parties. These links are provided for your convenience and reference only. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY Terms of Use and Privacy Policy do not apply to these sites. We do not control such sites and, therefore, we are not responsible for any content posted on these sites or the activities of these third parties. The fact that PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY offer such links should not be construed in any way as an endorsement, authorization, or sponsorship of that site, its content or the companies or products referenced therein, and PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY reserve the right to note its lack of affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement of these third-party sites on this site. If you decide to access any of the third party sites linked to this site, you do this entirely at your own risk. Because some sites employ automated search results or otherwise link you to sites containing information that may be deemed inappropriate or offensive, PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY cannot be held responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in third party sites, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY, their employees, directors, officers, shareholders, affiliated companies, agents and representatives, vendors and suppliers with respect to such sites.

Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, members or third-party advertisers found on or through the site, including the quality or appropriateness of the goods or services and the payment for and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such advertiser. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY cannot be held responsible for your interactions with any third parties, and you agree that PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY, their employees, directors, officers, shareholders, affiliated companies, agents and representatives, vendors and suppliers shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such advertisers on the site.

16. Assignment and Delegation. This Agreement is not assignable or transferable by you without PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY prior written consent. Any purported transfer without PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY written authorization shall be void. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY may assign their rights and/or delegate its duties under this Agreement in whole or in part without your consent. Upon assignment or delegation, PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY shall cease to be a party hereto and shall have no further rights or duties with respect to you under this Agreement to the extent its rights and obligations have been so assigned or delegated. The assignee or delegate shall assume the rights and duties transferred by PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created between PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY and you as a result of this Agreement.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties.  You expressly understand and agree that the site and services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the full extent permissible by applicable law. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATION and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement of intellectual property.

This disclaimer constitutes an essential part of this agreement.  

You understand and agree that any data, content, or software downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of the site, services, or application programming interfaces or any third party product accessing the site and services is at your own discretion and risk and that you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system(s) or loss of data or business interruption that results from the download of data, content, or services.

Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference, contain the entire agreement (the “Agreement”) between PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS and EUCLID TECHNOLOGY and you with respect to your use of this site and the services offered on the site. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

20. General. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS is based in the United States. PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATIONS makes no claims that the data or content on its site or its services are appropriate or may be downloaded outside of the United States. Access to the site and services may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access the site from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction. These Terms are governed in all respects by the laws of the State of the PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATION, excluding that state’s conflicts of laws provisions. Any action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the site or services must be brought in the state or federal courts of the state of the PARTICIPATING BAR ASSOCIATION, and you consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts. Any cause of action you may have with respect to your use of the sites or services must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to these Terms, and you expressly waive all rights of application or appeal, if any, to non-U.S. courts in connection with any question of law. A party may give notice to the other party only in writing at that party's principal place of business, attention of that party's principal legal officer, or at such other address or by such other method as the party shall specify in writing. Notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery or facsimile with proof of receipt of transmission, or, if sent by certified mail with postage prepaid, 5 business days after the date of mailing, or, if sent by international overnight courier with postage prepaid, 7 business days after the date of mailing.

Section headings are for reference purposes only and do not define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section.
