TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Updated July 15, 2019

These terms, including any schedules and supplemental terms (collectively, these “Terms and conditions” or “TC”) apply to our websites or platforms on which we display or post a direct link to this TC. If there is any conflict between this TC and any supplemental terms to a site or platform, the supplemental terms will control. This TC does not apply to those sites and platforms that do not display or link to this TC, or that have their own terms of use.

By using our website, you are a “user” and you accept and agree to this TC as a legal contract between you and us. We may post changes to these TC at any time, and any such changes will be applicable to all subsequent access to or use of our platform. If you do not accept and agree to all provisions of these TC, now or in the future, you may reject these TC by immediately terminating all access and use of our platform, in which case any continuing access or use of our platform is unauthorized.

You are also required to comply with, and to ensure compliance with, all laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to your activities on our sites and platform.

Unless expressly permitted by supplemental terms, our website is intended for general audiences 18 years of age and older, and access or use by anyone younger is not authorized.

These TC grant you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive license to access our sites and platform and use our platform, in whole or in part, including but not limited to our intellectual property therein, solely in compliance with these TC.

If you qualify for our Law Firm to represent you, we will take steps to represent you through the sending of an electronic Agreement to Represent (contract), emails, text messages, phone calls, fax, and/or postal mail intending to explain our legal services. We are not your attorneys unless and until you execute our Agreement to Represent. 

If you do not qualify for our Law Firm to represent you, we will likewise notify you through similar means. In the event our Law Firm decides not to represent you, we suggest you seek a second opinion, as law firms have varying criteria for representation. Just because our Law Firm declines to represent you does not necessarily mean you do not have a viable case. In addition, there are Statutes of Limitation which limit the time in which you may file a lawsuit. As such, we encourage you to seek a second opinion immediately. We cannot advise you on when the Statute of Limitations in your matter may expire.

It is possible that after you sign our Agreement to Represent, further information will be gathered which may subsequently disqualify you from having our Law Firm (and our associated co-counsel) represent you. This may occur for various reasons, including but not limited to our acquisition of your medical records. Should, subsequent to your execution of our Agreement to Represent, we and/or our co-counsel determine that we cannot represent you, we will so notify you, usually by certified mail. Again, in such an event, we urge you to seek a second opinion in a timely manner as the Statute of Limitations may still apply.

Moderation

We have the right, but not the obligation, to regulate content (which includes but is not limited to postings, text, code, images, video, binary files, ads, accounts, account information, flags, emails, messages and any other user communications (“content”)) posted to, stored on or transmitted via our site or platform by any user (or any other third party in any manner); to regulate conduct (including but not limited to any authorized or unauthorized access to or use of our sites and platform) by any user (or any other third party in any manner); and to enforce this TC, for any reason and in any manner or by any means that we, in our sole discretion, deem necessary or appropriate (including but not limited to automated and manual screening, blocking, filtering, exclusion from index pages, exclusion from search results, requiring the use of an application programming interface (API), requiring the use of a bulk posting interface, authorization, verification, and the deletion and/or termination of content, accounts and/or all or any use or access). We may, in our sole discretion and without notice, start, stop or modify any regulation or enforcement measures at any time. Our action or inaction to regulate content or conduct or to enforce against any potential violation of this TC by any user (or any other third party) does not waive our right to implement or not implement regulation or enforcement measures with respect to any subsequent or similar content, conduct or potential TC violation.

You also understand and agree that any action or inaction by us or any of our attorneys, directors, officers, stockholders, employees, consultants, agents or representatives (collectively, “our representatives” and individually “our representative”) to prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential TC violation is undertaken voluntarily and in good faith, and you expressly agree that neither we nor any of our representatives will be liable to you or anyone else for any action or inaction to prevent, restrict, redress, or regulate content, or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential violation of these TC.

Although our representatives may moderate content on our sites and platforms at our discretion, our representatives have no authority to make binding commitments, promises or representations to anyone that they or anyone else on behalf of us will “take care” of any alleged problem or complaint, or that they or anyone else on behalf of us will otherwise stop, cure or prevent any problem, content, conduct or purported TC violation from occurring or recurring. Accordingly, you further agree that any representation (written or verbal) by our representative (or by anyone else acting on behalf of us or by anyone purportedly acting on behalf of us) that we (including but not limited to our representative, anyone else acting on behalf of us, or anyone purportedly acting on behalf of us) would or would not prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content (including, without limitation, screen, block, moderate, review, remove, terminate, delete, edit or otherwise stop, cure or exclude any content), or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential or purported TC violation is superseded by this provision and is nonbinding and unenforceable. Specifically, you agree that we, our representatives and anyone else authorized to act on behalf of us will in no circumstance be liable as a result of any representation that we, our representatives or anyone else on behalf of us would or would not restrict or redress any content, conduct or potential or purported TC violation. For the purpose of clarity, the opinions, statements, comments, posts and other communications expressed on our sites and platform are solely those of the poster and not ours, or our employees, officers, directors, shareholders, subsidiaries, parent companies, attorneys or other agents. We do not guarantee the accuracy or reliability or the information provided by any poster, administrator, or moderator. Administrators and moderators are not our agents and their opinions, comments and posts are their own. This paragraph may not be modified, waived or released except by a written agreement, dated and signed by our Managing Partner and dated and signed by the individual or entity to whom the modification, waiver or release is granted.

We also have the right in our sole discretion to limit, modify, interrupt, suspend or discontinue all or any portions of our sites or platform at any time without notice. We and our representatives will not be liable for any such limitations, modifications, interruptions, suspensions or discontinuance, or any purported losses, harm or damages arising from or related thereto.

We have sole and absolute discretion to authorize or deny any exception or exceptions to the terms in this section regarding Postings and Accounts.

Postings

Users may not circumvent any technological measure implemented by us to restrict the manner in which content may be posted on our sites and platform or to regulate the manner in which content (including but not limited to email) may be transmitted to other users. This prohibition includes, without limitation, a ban on the use of multiple email addresses (created via an email address generator or otherwise); the use of multiple IP addresses (via proxy servers, modem toggling, or otherwise); CAPTCHA circumvention, automation or outsourcing; multiple and/or fraudulent service accounts, including phone-verified accounts; URL shortening, obfuscation or redirection; use of multiple phone lines or phone forwarding for verification; and content obfuscation via HTML techniques, printing text on images, inserting random text or content “spinning.”

It is expressly prohibited to post content to our sites and platform using any automated means. Users must post all content personally and manually through all steps of the posting process. It is also expressly prohibited for any user to develop, offer, market, sell, distribute or provide an automated means to perform any step of the posting process (in whole or in part). Any user who develops, offers, markets, sells, distributes or provides an automated means to perform any step of the posting process (in whole or in part) will be responsible and liable to us for each instance of access to our sites and services (by any user or other third party) using that automated means.

Affiliate marketing by users is expressly prohibited on our sites and services. Users may not post content or communicate with any user for purposes of affiliate marketing or in connection with any affiliate marketing system, scheme or program in any manner or under any circumstance.

Accounts

For each use of our platform, a user may create, maintain and use no more than one account to post content only on his/her or its own behalf. A user must create his/her or its account personally and manually and may not create accounts by any automated means. Without limitation, this includes the obligation that the user personally and manually solves any CAPTCHA challenge in the account creation process. A user may not create or use additional accounts or any account of another and must not permit, enable, induce or encourage others to create accounts for him/her or it.

The purchase and sale of accounts and the creation of accounts for others is expressly prohibited. The circumvention of any technological restriction or security measure in the account creation process, posting process or otherwise for posting content in violation of these TC also is expressly prohibited.

  • Any access to or use of our sites and platform to design, develop, test, update, operate, modify, maintain, support, market, advertise, distribute or otherwise make available any program, application or service (including, without limitation, any device, technology, product, computer program, mobile device application, website, or mechanical or personal service) that enables or provides access to, use of, operation of or interoperation with our sites and platform (including, without limitation, to access content, post content, cross-post content, re-post content, respond or reply to content, verify content, transmit content, create accounts, verify accounts, use accounts, circumvent and/or automate technological security measures or restrictions, or flag content) is prohibited.
