Terms of Service

Applicable Terms

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS (THE “TERMS”) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEB SITE. The following terms and conditions form a legal agreement between you and Legal Support Services LLC (“LSS”, “We”, or the “Company”).

These Terms and our Privacy Policy (located at {URL}) govern your access to and use of LSS. By using this site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree to these terms then use of this site is unauthorized, please do not use this site.

Please note that these Terms contain provisions that govern the resolution of claims between LSS and you, including an arbitration agreement, class action waiver, and jury trial waiver that affect your rights. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and there is less discovery and appellate review than in court. Please see the Dispute Resolution section below for complete details.

Service

LSS acts as a portal to facilitate introductions between consumers and legal services providers, including law firms (“Providers”) to offer services to consumers who have opted into being contacted through LSS to receive authorized contact from a Provider.

Our Service is free for you to use. We may receive fees from Providers that participate in the Service. The Service rendered by LSS is only available to the residents of the United States, and offers and services provided by Providers may not be available in all states.

You may not accept these Terms or use this Service if you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with LSS. You must not access LSS or accept these Terms if you are a person who is either barred or otherwise legally prohibited from receiving or using the Service under the laws of the state in which you reside or from which you access or use LSS.

Terms Specific to Providers

LSS operates through various Providers and may receive compensation from the Providers. Actual availability and pricing of the Providers’ services are determined by the Providers after you complete an application over the phone. The accuracy of your information, the information further obtained by the Providers and your answers to additional questions on the website, email or on the phone may impact the pricing and availability of the products and services.

We are providing you with an interface to connect you to a number of potential Providers. We will pass the information we collect to third parties in order to provide our Services.

NEITHER PARTY OWES THE OTHER ANY DUTIES, FIDUCIARY OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY RELEASES THE OTHER FROM ALL MANNER OF ACTIONS, WHETHER PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE, ACTUAL OR CONTINGENT, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO SUCH DUTIES, EXCEPT AS EXPLICITLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

Disclaimers

OTHER THAN AS EXPLICITLY STATED IN THESE TERMS OR ADDITIONAL TERMS NEITHER LSS NOR ITS PROVIDERS MAKE ANY SPECIFIC PROMISES ABOUT THE SERVICE. FOR EXAMPLE, WE DON’T MAKE ANY COMMITMENTS ABOUT THE CONTENT WITHIN THE SERVICE, THE SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS OF THE SERVICE, OR THEIR RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, OR ABILITY TO MEET YOUR NEEDS. WE PROVIDE THE SERVICE “AS IS”. SOME JURISDICTIONS PROVIDE FOR CERTAIN WARRANTIES, LIKE THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE EXCLUDE ALL WARRANTIES.

Liability of Our Services

WHEN PERMITTED BY LAW, LSS AND LSS’S PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, OR DATA, FINANCIAL LOSSES, PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF LSS, AND ITS SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS, FOR ANY CLAIMS UNDER THESE TERMS, INCLUDING FOR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US TO USE THE SERVICES (OR, IF WE CHOOSE, TO SUPPLYING YOU WITH THE SERVICES AGAIN).

IN ALL CASES, LSS, AND ITS PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT IS NOT REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.

Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND LSS ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO: (1) THESE TERMS AND THEIR INTERPRETATION OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF, AND THE RELATIONSHIPS WHICH RESULT FROM THESE TERMS; OR (2) YOUR USE OF THIS WEBSITE WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION AND NOT IN COURT OR BY JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST LSS INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS

These Terms are governed by the substantive laws of the State of South Carolina, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The place of arbitration will be Charleston, Charleston County, State of South Carolina. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, shall be settled by arbitration. The arbitrator shall have the power to rule on its own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence or validity of the arbitration agreement.

If any provision is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term. Except as expressly provided elsewhere on our Sites, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and LSS with respect to your use of our Sites.

The foregoing arbitration provisions will be construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement specifying any particular state or national law as the governing law. This section will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
