Terms of Use - Van Oorschot Law Group

PLEASE REVIEW THESE TERMS OF USE BEFORE USING THE WEBSITE.

1. This is a legal agreement between You and Van Oorschot Law Group, PC (“VOLG”). By using the Internet site located at https://mvolaw.com (the “Site”) or any services provided in connection with the Site (the “Service”), You agree to abide by these Terms of Use, as they may be amended by VOLG from time to time in its sole discretion.

By using the Website, You represent and warrant that You have read and understood, and agree to be bound by, the Agreement and VOLG’s Privacy Policy. By using the Website, You further represent and warrant that You are 18 years old or older, and that You are otherwise legally qualified to enter into contracts under applicable law. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT, OR DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY IT OR THE PRIVACY POLICY, OR ARE NOT LEGALLY QUALIFIED TO ENTER INTO CONTRACTS, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE WEBSITE.

2. PRIVACY POLICY. VOLG respects Your privacy and permits You to control the treatment of Your personal information. A complete statement of VOLG’s current privacy policy can be found by clicking here. VOLG’s privacy policy is expressly incorporated into this Agreement by this reference.

3. INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. THE WEBSITE DOES NOT CONTAIN OR CONSTITUTE, AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS, LEGAL ADVICE OR OPINION.

4. NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP: YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE DOES NOT CREATE AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND VOLG. SIMILARLY, THE TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION TO AND FROM VOLG BY MEANS OF THE WEBSITE IS NOT AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT COMMUNICATION. If You would like VOLG to represent You, You should complete our online contact submission form. If the matter in connection with which You seek representation involves other parties, be sure to list each and every one of them on the online case submission form. If VOLG agrees to represent You, it will inform You by email or telephone, and will provide an engagement agreement setting forth the basis of the representation. Unless and until You have executed and returned that engagement agreement, and VOLG has confirmed its receipt, no attorney-client relationship exists.

Unless an attorney-client relationship exists between You and VOLG, You shall not represent to any third party, either directly or by implication, that You are represented by VOLG, or that VOLG is in any way involved in Your matter. Without limiting the foregoing, unless an attorney-client relationship exists between You and VOLG, You shall not copy VOLG, or any attorney or employee of VOLG, on any emails or letters in a manner that could reasonably be interpreted by any third party to mean that You are represented by VOLG.

BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT A CLIENT OF VOLG, INFORMATION PROVIDED BY YOU TO VOLG MAY NOT BE PROTECTED BY THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE.

5. COMPLIANCE WITH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS. When accessing the Site or using the Service, You agree to obey the law and to respect the intellectual property rights of others. Your use of the Service and the Site is at all times governed by and subject to laws regarding copyright ownership and use of intellectual property. You agree not to upload, download, display, perform, transmit, or otherwise distribute any information or content (collectively, “Content”) in violation of any third party’s copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights.

6. NO LICENSE. Strategy.Guidance.Teamwork.^® is a registered trademark (®) of the Van Oorschot Law Group, PC. Nothing contained on the Site should be understood as granting You a license to use any of the trademarks, service marks, or logos owned by VOLG or by any third party.

7. NO WARRANTIES. VOLG is making the site available “As Is” without warranty of any kind. You assume the risk of any and all damage or loss from use of, or inability to use, the Site. To the maximum extent permitted by law, VOLG expressly disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, regarding the site, including but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. VOLG does not warrant that the Site or the service will meet You requirements or that the operation of the Site or service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

8. LIMITED LIABILITY. Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to the negligence of VOLG, its agents or service providers, shall VOLG, its agents or service providers be liable for any consequential, direct, incidental, indirect, punitive, or special damages that result from (a) the use of, (b) the inability to use, or (c) errors or omissions in the contents and functions of, the Site, even if VOLG or any of its agents or service providers has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to You. In no event shall the total liability of VOLG, its agents, or service providers to You for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract of tort, including but not limited to, negligence or otherwise) exceed $100.00.
