  1. The Services

     

    1. The Site offers information on potential violations of law that may have affected your legal rights. Our Services are designed to help connect individuals who may have been harmed by widespread or systemic legal violations across various areas of law with qualified legal professionals for potential legal evaluation and representation. Our Services provide users with a simple web-based and telephonic intake platform enabling them to view general information about potential Legal Actions (as defined below) or other representative litigation, and to participate in a brief telephonic or digital survey (“Survey”) to help assess their eligibility for participation in the such legal matters. For purposes of these Terms, a “Legal Action” includes any legal proceeding, arbitration, or lawsuit pursued on behalf of a group or aggregation of similarly situated individuals (a “Class”), including class actions, collective actions, mass arbitrations, and mass tort litigation.

    2. To use the Services and participate in the Survey to determine your Class eligibility, you must enter your details into the open fields presented on the Site (“Registration”).

    3. If you meet our preliminary qualifications for potential inclusion in a Class, we may contact you via the contact details you provided during your Registration.  

    4. No attorney-client relationship is formed unless and until you enter into a signed engagement agreement with the Firm or any affiliated co-counsel.

    5. PLEASE NOTE: The Firm integrates and collaborates with third party service providers and other Subcontractors (as defined below), including  third-party litigation consultants and client intake vendors, in order to provide its Services. These service providers and Subcontractors may use technology platforms to assist with client intake and engagement, including analyzing Survey response data into usable Class insights and Class eligibility and compatibility determinations. Your use of the Services indicates your consent for the use of such Subcontractor services by the Firm, as further detailed in Section (f) below and in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

    6. No Guarantees: we cannot guarantee your qualification for inclusion in a Class. Your participation in the screening process is made at your own choice. 

    7. Not a Legal Advice or Attorney-Client Relationship: The Site provides information about potential lawsuits and settlements, and related legal topics. This content is for  information purposes only and does NOT constitute legal advice, nor should it be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney based on your individual circumstances. Submission of information through the Site or the Services or participation in any survey or intake process does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm or any affiliated law firm. Such a relationship is only formed through a formal engagement agreement signed by both you and an attorney. Although we endeavor to keep the information on the Site current and accurate, you should consult a licensed attorney of your choice if you require legal advice or representation specific to your situation. 

    8. You acknowledge and agree that, in delivering the Services to you, the Firm may integrate and collaborate with trusted third-party service providers and other subcontractors (“Subcontractors”), including call centers, litigation consultants, technology vendors, and other professional service providers. These Subcontractors may assist with client intake and engagement processes, including by administering surveys, analyzing user responses, providing support communications, and helping the Firm assess Class eligibility and compatibility for potential legal matters. The Firm remains solely responsible for the Services provided to you, and any services performed by Subcontractors are carried out on behalf of and under the direction of the Firm. By using the Services, you expressly consent to the involvement of such Subcontractors for the purposes described herein and as further detailed in our Privacy Policy.
