    You agree that LegalContracts does not provide legal advice. If you receive any communication from LegalContracts, its agents, its employees or any other associated entity, which is Legal Advice, you agree that it is NOT a communication authorized by LegalContracts and you agree to immediately delete and disregard it.

    Except as expressly provided in these Terms, you agree to accept full responsibility for determining the value of and for any use you make of LegalContracts Material, and for obtaining any needed assistance from a properly licensed attorney to assess the value of and appropriate uses for any LegalContracts Material.

    For the purposes of these Terms, Legal Advice is defined to include the following:

    • any legal related communication, work or service which, under the governing law of your jurisdiction, is only allowed to be performed by or under the supervision of a properly licensed attorney;
    • advice related to your specific legal or fact situation;
    • advice on which legal document or documents you need or are best for your situation;
    • advice applying the law or drawing any legal conclusions;
    • determining the legal consequences that will or could result from how you have created your legal document;
    • whether you have included inappropriate, conflicting, or ambiguous information in your legal documents;
    • whether you have omitted any necessary provisions or details from your legal documents; and
    • whether you require any additional legal documents or legal procedures.

  4. Use of LegalContracts Material

    A. Generally
    You agree not to use any LegalContracts Material for any purpose which is against any law in your jurisdiction or for any purpose which would not give full effect to the Terms even if that purpose is otherwise allowed under the Terms of this agreement.

    You may view the Site using a web browser for evaluation purposes as a potential customer or supplier.

    Final Contract is defined as the finished legal document created through the use of a LegalContracts product such as a licensed automated contract.

    B. Single Use License and Divorce Package

    1. use the Final Contract for a single transaction,
    2. make one electronic backup copy of the Final Contract for your personal use,
    3. make necessary mechanical copies (e.g. photocopies or scans) of the Final Contract for your personal records and as required for completion of the specific transaction for which the Final Contract is intended.

    3. make necessary mechanical copies (e.g. photocopies or scans) of the Final Contracts for your personal records and as required for completion of the specific transactions for which the Final Contracts are intended.

    D. Subscription
    A subscription gives you the rights of a multiple use license for the products identified on the order page. You may end the subscription in the manner specified on the order page, your account area or the help documentation. LegalContracts retains the right to cancel the subscription at any time, in which case you will only be charged for the time in which the subscription was in effect. LegalContracts retains the right to increase the price of the subscription not more than 25% in any year; in this case, LegalContracts must give you reasonable notice and you will have the right to terminate the subscription if you do not accept the price increase.

    E. Peace of Mind Review
    A Peace of Mind Review is where our staff reviews your answers to ensure that they are complete and consistent with each other as well as check your spelling and grammar. The details for requesting your review are provided in a message through our Ticket Center after you first purchase your review.

    F. Site License
    A Site License is equivalent to a Multiple Use License for all of the products identified on the order page.

  5. Restrictions
    To the maximum extent allowable under applicable law, except as explicitly identified in these terms, you agree not to publish, re-publish, lend, license, give away, look at the software source code, modify the software source code, post to an Internet web site, or use in an automated system any LegalContracts Material, nor will you allow or assist a third party to do so. The EULA document may be distributed on the internet without time limit by licensed LegalContracts customers as part of a materially non-legal package adding significant value.

    The rights granted under these Terms are granted to you only.

    If you are an organization, a License or service purchase allows one individual within your organization to exercise the rights granted by these Terms.

  11. Guarantees and Refunds
    All guarantees are subject to any limitations specified in any LegalContracts Material. Guarantees are only available to customers who paid on the product before the guarantee is claimed. For a guarantee to apply to a product, it must be explicitly promoted in LegalContracts Material for that product at the time of payment. Guarantees only apply to LegalContracts mistakes, not to customer mistakes.

    A. Quality Guarantee
    Our maximum liability for any Quality Guarantees specified on the Site is $100 in the currency of the product.

    The following additional restrictions apply to the Quality Guarantee:

    1. The mistake is in the wording of the legal document and not other text on the Site;
    2. The customer was the first person to mention that mistake.

    We are only required to pay a customer for one mistake no matter how many mistakes they may bring to our attention.

    B. $50,000 Legal Fee Guarantee
    The $50,000 Legal Fee Guarantee is only available to customers who purchase an Incorporation Package promoting this guarantee. We will reimburse the customer up to $50,000, in the currency of the incorporated company's jurisdiction, for legal fees in the event that the corporate veil is pierced on a corporation that was incorporated by LegalContracts. A corporate veil refers to the personal liability protection a corporation provides its shareholders.

    C. $10,000 Legal Guarantee
    Subject to any limitations specified in any LegalContracts Material, we will cover any damage a customer suffers in a legal judgement, as a result of a LegalContracts mistake, to a maximum of $10,000 in the currency of the product.

    LegalContracts will honor any other guarantees and refund commitments specified in LegalContracts Material to a maximum of $500 in the currency of the product. No additional guarantees are applicable.

  15. Severability
    The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms or the Site’s Disclaimer will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of these Terms or the Site’s Disclaimer and such invalid provision will be deemed to be severable.
