Terms of Service

Last Updated: December 4, 2023

By accessing or using any website or service made available by Bootstrap Legal, you acknowledge that you (i) have read and agree to be bound by these terms of service (the “Terms”) and (ii) agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including US state and federal securities laws and regulations and export and re-export control laws and regulations.

It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. If at any time you find these Terms unacceptable or if you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use this Site or access the Services, as defined below. We may revise these Terms at any time without notice to you.

YOU AGREE THAT BY USING THE SERVICES YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE AND YOU ARE LEGALLY ABLE TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT.

These Terms require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limit the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute.

The following definitions shall apply in these terms of service:

  • “Site” refers, together and collectively,  to the domains and subdomains of our website at www.bootstraplegal.com.
  • “Services” refers to the Content, products, or services offered on or through the Site.
  • “Bootstrap Legal”, “we”, “us” and “our” refers to LawLab LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and our affiliates (including officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents and representatives).
  • “You”, “your” and “users” refer to each customer, visitor or user of any Services generally, including Consultant users and Client Users.
  • “Consultant User” refers to each registered consultant user in the legal field who may communicate with and provide contract or consulting work to Client Users via the Bootstrap Legal Site.
  • “Client Users” refers to registered users who contract with Consultant Users for additional work.

If you access or use the Services on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, then (a) “you” and “your” also refers to that entity, (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and (c) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf.

Our Services are not legal advice and there is no attorney-client relationship between you and us.

Bootstrap Legal provides an online legal portal to give users a general understanding of the law; provide automated software Services to prepare legal documents; and provide users easy tools to collaborate, execute documents, and pay for Services. Bootstrap Legal Services may also include a review of your answers for completeness, spelling, and for internal consistency of names, addresses and the like. At no time do we review your answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice, opinions or recommendations about your legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms, or strategies, or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation.

Qualified attorneys are invited to license automated legal practice management tools and advertise on our site. Each attorney or law firm within our network is an independent law firm authorized or regulated by the State Bar or government agency in which it in licensed, and that shares the aim of upholding high ethical standards while offering exceptional legal expertise and access with an uncompromising commitment to client needs.

Bootstrap Legal is not a law firm and does not provide any legal advice, legal opinions, recommendations, referrals, or counseling. Our Services are not substitutes for the advice of an attorney and if you need legal advice for your specific matter, or if your matter is too complex to be addressed by our tools, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area. At no time is an attorney-client relationship or any other special relationship created between you and Bootstrap Legal or any employee or other person associated with Bootstrap Legal, and any information you provide us is not protected by attorney-client privilege or as work product. You are and will be representing yourself in any matter you undertake using the Services.

We provide online Services and educational materials to assist you with the preparation, execution and storage of your own legal documents and related information. The documents, videos, and other materials available through the Services, including any descriptions, information and other help resources (collectively, the “Educational Materials”) are for informational purposes only; they are not legal advice and are not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. We do not review the Educational Materials or any information you input for accuracy or legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation, although certain Services you purchase may include a limited-scope review by a third-party attorney, if applicable. You understand that our providing of the Services to you is neither legal advice nor the practice of law, and that the Educational Materials are not customized to your particular needs.

We strive to keep legal documents accurate, current and up-to-date. However, because the law changes rapidly, we cannot guarantee that all of the information on the Site or Services is completely current. The law is different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may be subject to interpretation by different courts. The law is a personal matter, and no general information or legal tool like the kind Bootstrap Legal provides can fit every circumstance. Furthermore, the legal information contained on the Site and Services is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date.

From time to time, Bootstrap Legal may perform certain attorney access services and introduce Client Users to attorneys through various methods, including but not limited to (i) legal plans, (ii) third-party attorney directory listings, and (iii) third-party limited scope agreements. At no time is an attorney-client relationship fostered or created with Bootstrap Legal through the performance of any such services. You are free to choose a licensed attorney to represent you by not using the Site.

You must ensure security and integrity of your account

When you open an account to use or access certain Services or provide us with information in connection with a purchase or transaction, you must provide accurate, complete and current information. You will also be asked to provide a username and password. You are entirely responsible for the maintaining the confidentiality of your password. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account. You must keep your account password secure and you may not use a third party’s account at any time. You agree to notify Bootstrap Legal immediately of any unauthorized use of your account, username or password. Bootstrap Legal shall not be liable for any losses you incur as a result of someone else’s use of your account. You may be held liable for any losses incurred by Bootstrap Legal, our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents and representatives due to someone else’s use of your account or password.

In connection with the use of certain Bootstrap Legal products or Services, you may be asked to provide personal information in a questionnaire, application, form or similar document or service. This information will be protected pursuant to our Privacy Policy. In addition, you grant Bootstrap Legal a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, and fully sub-licensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, publish and translate this personal information solely for the purpose of enabling your use of the applicable service.

You may not use the Services or access the Site if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the Site or through the Services are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located in the United States.

These Terms are assignable only by Bootstrap Legal

Legal actions and proceedings are governed under New York law and heard in New York courts.

You expressly agree that your rights and obligations, this terms of service and any disputes shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding its choice of law rules The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any claim or dispute between you and Bootstrap Legal that arises in whole or in part from the Services shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in New York County, New York, unless submitted to arbitration as set forth in the following paragraph.

Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.

Bootstrap Legal does not anticipate having any disagreements with you, the User, regarding usage of this Site or the Services. But if any concerns about these matters arise, please notify us immediately by contacting our Customer Care team at support@bootstraplegal.com. We would endeavor to resolve any disagreements in a fair and amicable manner. If it is not possible to resolve the disputes ourselves, then we each agree to resolve those disputes or claims between you and Bootstrap Legal of any nature whatsoever, including but not limited to those relating to use of the Site or the quality or appropriateness of Services offered by the Bootstrap Legal, shall be resolved by binding arbitration before Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), rather than in a court of general jurisdiction. Bootstrap Legal chooses arbitration because it is usually less expensive and quicker than litigation and will allow us to resolve our disputes privately.

The arbitration shall be conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”). Subject to the preceding provisions agreed to by the parties contained herein, the arbitrator must decide all disputes in accordance with the chosen association’s rules and in accordance with New York law, and shall have power and obligation to decide all matters submitted, including arbitrability and legal questions raised by pleading or summary judgment motions. In the event that any dispute or claim is determined not subject to arbitration by the arbitrator, all parties agree that their respective rights and obligations shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding its choice of law rules. Furthermore, in the event that any dispute or claim is determined not subject to arbitration by the arbitrator, all parties agree that any and all legal action or proceedings shall be instituted in a state or federal court in New York, and in New York County.
