Use of this website, including the purchase of any of our legal or non-legal services offered thereby (our “Services”) shall be governed by the following Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookie Policy (the “Agreements”). Please read these Agreements carefully. By continuing to use this website and/or by purchasing any legal or non-legal services from us, you agree to be subject to the Agreements, including these Terms of Use.

These Terms of Use do not alter or supersede any other written agreement you may have with us except to the extent that such an agreement refers to the current Terms of Use.

Purpose

Personal Information and Privacy

By creating a user account on the Site or otherwise using the Site or our Services, you are providing us with your personal information. This personal information can include information you intentionally provide to us, such as your name, address, email address, phone number, or payment information, and can also include information automatically collected by the Site, such as your web browser and operating system information, location information, and a record of pages within the Site that you access. Your use of the Site and our collection and use of this personal information is subject to our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to carefully review our Privacy Policy, as it is designed to inform you about how and why we collect and use your data, what data we collect, and what your rights are to control your data.

Electronic Communications

By creating an account on the Site, contacting us via email, or otherwise providing your email address to us, you consent to receive emails or other electronic communications and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically, via email and on the Site, satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. With regard to communications containing announcements, advertisements, or solicitations, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time and opt-out of such communications. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for a better understanding of your rights and how to opt-out of such communications.

Your Account

If you use this site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password, whether or not undertaken by you. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your account to any other person or entity. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for third party access to your account that results from theft or misappropriation of your account credentials or any computer or other device through which your account has or can be accessed. We and our associates reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel service, terminate accounts, or remove or edit content published to the Site.

We do not knowingly collect, by any means, personal information from persons under the age of thirteen (13) years. If you are under eighteen (18) years, you may use the Site only with permission of your parent or guardian.

Cancellation Policy

You may request a cancellation of your subscriptions or of purchased Services at any time by submitting a written request to L4SB via email to [email protected] or postal mail to our office address listed in our contact information below. For monthly or yearly subscriptions, your cancellations MUST be received at least 2 business days prior to their scheduled renewal date. Refunds after the subscription renewal order has processed are not refundable. Refunds for Services and pro-rated refunds for subscriptions terminated prior to their expiration may be available, subject to our Refund Policy.

Refund Policy

You may request a refund for any unused portion of a subscription service or for any unfulfilled legal or non-legal Services you purchase. L4SB may, in its sole and absolute discretion, either approve or deny your request for a refund based on such considerations as, for example and without limitation, whether L4SB has completed or made substantial progress in providing the Services. L4SB will generally approve refund requests for any Services before they are performed. In the event that L4SB approves your request for a refund, your refund may be reduced by any costs, fees, or expenses incurred by L4SB pursuant to or in fulfillment of your order.

Client Cooperation

Our ability to provide legal and non-legal Services depends in large part on our clients’ full and timely cooperation. If L4SB, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that you are failing or unwilling to provide cooperation, L4SB may withdraw, terminate, or cancel the Services at any time, with or without notice. Cooperation may include, without limitation:

  • Responding to emails, phone calls, and other communications from L4SB
  • Providing documentation as may be requested by L4SB
  • Providing complete and honest facts about your matter as may be requested by L4SB
  • Paying any and all amounts due to L4SB in a timely manner
  • Signing any legal documents as many be requested by L4SB or required for completion of the Services you order

Representations of L4SB

Here at Law 4 Small Business, we strive to always provide our clients with a positive experience. If you purchase legal or non-legal Services from us, we agree to:

  • Always communicate promptly with you
  • Provide timely and relevant updates and information on the status of your order
  • Not expense any additional fees not previously agreed upon without your express written consent
  • Keep and maintain your records in a safe, private, and confidential manner

Additionally, if you purchase legal Services from us, we agree to:

  • Maintain attorney-client confidentiality and uphold attorney-client privilege in all instances permitted by law

Authorization by Client

By purchasing legal or non-legal Services from us, you authorize us to act on your behalf to perform the Services purchased. This authorization may be revoked at any time, and you may be entitled to a refund of any amounts paid based on our Cancellation and Refund policies.

Limited Conflicts Waiver

As a law firm, L4SB is bound by the Rules of Professional Conduct in any state in which we provide legal services to check for conflicts of interest that may hinder or preclude our representation of you as a client. These conflicts of interest and our obligations regarding them apply only to the performance of legal services and do not extend to non-legal services. Some conflicts of interest may prevent us from performing the Services you order, while others may simply require a waiver on your part. To the maximum extent allowable by the law and by any applicable Rules of Professional Conduct, you hereby acknowledge the possibility of conflicts of interest arising based on our performance of legal Services for you and on your behalf, and you agree to waive any such conflicts of interest to the maximum permissible extent. You also agree to immediately notify L4SB if you identify and past, present, or potential future conflicts of interest which may impact our performance of legal Services. If L4SB identifies a conflict of interest which cannot be waived or which might otherwise prevent our performance of legal Services to you, we will terminate your order and refund any money already paid for those Services.

Billing Policy

By purchasing legal or non-legal Services from us, you agree to pay L4SB any fees incurred or approved by you which are not pre-paid during the online purchase process within ten (10) days of receiving an invoice from L4SB. Any amounts not paid within that timeframe may be, in L4SB’s sole and absolute discretion, subject to a late fee in the amount of $100 per month or ten percent (10%) of the unpaid balance due per month, whichever is greater.

Chargeback Policy

By purchasing legal or non-legal Services from us, you agree to communicate with L4SB in a timely manner about any charges, fees, or other amounts invoiced to you which you believe are in error. You further agree not to seek a chargeback on any credit card payments already made to L4SB. In the event that you initiate a chargeback, you agree that L4SB may, in its sole and absolute discretion, initiate a chargeback fee of $100 in addition to any amounts incurred by L4SB in collecting the amounts charged back.

Delays by third parties

Both the legal and non-legal services L4SB provides often require submissions to, communications with, or feedback from third parties, including, for example and without limitation, Secretaries of State in those states in which you might request the formation of a corporation or Limited Liability Company. L4SB cannot guarantee processing timeframes or turnaround times for third parties. By purchasing legal or non-legal Services from us, you agree that L4SB shall not be responsible for any delays in providing the Services that are the result of delays by or from third parties.

The Site contains blog posts and knowledge base articles to which users of the Site may post responses or replies that are visible to and accessible by the general public (collectively the “Blog”). You agree to use the Blog only to post questions or comments that are proper and related to the particular Blog post or article.

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, or employment relationship exists between you and L4SB as a result of this agreement or use of the Site, but agree that an agency relationship shall exist for purposes of performing the Services you order and that an attorney-client relationship may be established through the procurement of legal Services. L4SB’s performance of the Services is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in these Terms of Use is in derogation of L4SB’s right and obligation to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Site or information provided to or gathered by L4SB with respect to such use. If any part of these Terms of Use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Terms of Use shall continue in effect.

Unless otherwise specified, these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookie Policy comprise the entire agreement between you and L4SB with respect to your use of the Site, and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or representations, whether electronic, oral, or written, between you and L4SB with respect to your use of the Site. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
