Legal Sites and Services

Legal Sites and Services: 

Conneqt, LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “our,” “us,” or “we”) provides you with the ability to confidently grow your network and increase revenue, by providing access to referral partners nationwide through our mobile and other applications, and website, that are governed, as applicable, by our terms of use (our “TOU”). Certain terms used in this document have the meanings set forth in our TOU. These supplemental terms (the “Supplemental Terms of Use” or this “Supplemental TOU”) apply to our site, application, and services related to the legal industry and are incorporated into our TOU. If there is any conflict between this Supplemental TOU and our TOU, this Supplemental TOU will control. This Supplemental TOU does not apply to those sites and services that do not display or link to this Supplemental TOU, or that have their own supplemental terms of use. By using our site, application, and services, you are a “user” and you accept and agree to our TOU and this Supplemental TOU as a legal contract between you and us. It is your responsibility to review this Supplemental TOU and our TOU. If at any time you find the TOU or Supplemental TOU unacceptable or if you do not agree, please do not use our site, application, and services. We may revise this Supplemental TOU at any time and without notice to you.

Generally

Our site, application, and services provide access to independent attorneys, self-help services, including general information related to the law, and lawyers designed to help users safely cope with their own legal needs. Our site, application, and services also provide services to lawyers and other legal professionals.

We are not lawyers or a law firm and we do not provide legal, business or tax advice. None of our representatives are lawyers and they also do not provide legal, business or tax advice. The accuracy, completeness, adequacy or currency of the content is not warranted or guaranteed. Our site, application, and services are not substitutes for the advices or services of an attorney. We recommend you consult a lawyer or other appropriate professional if you want legal, business or tax advice.

We strive to keep our content and documents accurate, current and up-to date. However, because the law changes rapidly, we cannot guarantee that all of the information on the site and 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 we provide 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. Therefore, if you need legal advice for your specific problem, or if your specific problem is too complex to be addressed by our tools, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area. Our site, application, and services are not intended to create any attorney-client relationship, and your use of our site, application, and services does not and will not in any circumstance create an attorney-client relationship between you and us. We are not a lawyer referral service and the sites and services and other resources and information are for personal use only.

Lawyer Services for Users

Our site, application, and services offer you several ways to identify and locate an attorney (or other legal services), including advertisements for lawyers, a searchable directory of lawyers and law firms, or our lawyer service provides information on lawyers and law firms willing to contact you with your permission (collectively, “lawyer services”). The inclusion of lawyers and law firms in the lawyer services requires only a payment by such lawyers or law firms and we make no recommendation as to any such lawyers or law firms. The decision to retain an attorney is an important one, and one that you must make carefully based on your own judgment and evaluation of that attorney. If you are using the lawyer services you should read the following terms and conditions below. If you disagree with these terms and conditions, please do not use the lawyer services.

At no time is an attorney-client relationship fostered or created with us through the performance of any such lawyer services.

Our site, application, and services are only one source of information among the many sources that are available to you. You may wish to consider multiple sources in order to make an informed attorney selection decision.

You understand any attorney listings or directories are provided by third parties and may contain inaccurate, incomplete or outdated information. You must independently verify the accuracy of any information you obtain from our site, application, and services.

We will never refer you to a specific attorney or service. You are solely responsible for making a selection of an attorney or other service and determining whether the information you obtain through your use of our sites is suitable for your purposes. Any agreements regarding legal services or fees must be done outside the scope of our sites and are strictly between the user and the third party and do not involve us in any way. We do not receive any portion of any attorney’s or law firm’s fees. We are not involved in or responsible for any transactions that might occur, and we do not guarantee that such transactions will occur.

The release and security of any sensitive or confidential information transmitted by you to any attorney or service is your sole responsibility.

We do not recommend or endorse any particular attorney or legal service and make no representation, guarantee or warranty (express or implied) as to the legal ability, competence, quality, or reliability of any legal services provided by any of these lawyer services. Prior to inclusion in our listings, we confirm a lawyer’s status with the applicable State Bar; however, we do not perform ongoing reviews of a lawyer’s status and we do not and have not investigated or vetted the qualifications, experience or other matters related to the lawyers, law firms or any legal services. You must independently verify the qualifications of any such legal professionals and services.

The selection of a participating lawyer or law firm as part of the lawyer services is the result of a neutral process that involves no evaluative judgment on our part and when a lawyer or law firm is included, it does not mean that lawyer or law firm is the “best” or “right” lawyer or service for your needs or that the lawyer or law firm is otherwise preferred over other lawyers or law firms. Further, the selection of a participating lawyer of law firm as a part of the lawyer services is not based on an analysis of your potential legal problem.

We cannot perform a check for conflicts of interest between you and an attorney provided by a lawyer service.

Conneqt does not continuously review the standing of any attorney subscriber with any regulatory authority. When considering employing any attorney or law firm, Users should check the attorney’s standing with the state bar. When considering employing a non-attorney legal service service provider, Users should check with the agency that certified the provider or the applicable regulatory body.

Conneqt makes every effort to verify that attorneys who subscribe to the Service are licensed and in good standing in at least one state within the United States at the time of registration. However, Conneqt is unable to track, verify, or monitor the standing of each attorney using the Service. Therefore, Conneqt makes no representation regarding the status, standing or ability of any attorney or law firm that submits bids, or is listed through this website or application. 

When using lawyer services, you may be required to provide some personal information such as name, address, email address, or telephone number. If provided, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, reproduce modify, publish and translate personal information solely for the purpose of enabling your use of the lawyers services. We have no control and make no representations as to the use of personal information provided to third-party lawyer services advertising on our sites. For information on these privacy practices, contact the lawyer service for their terms of use and privacy policies.

The term “experience” or “experienced” as used on the site and services is not intended to be a comparison to any other attorney’s services or qualifications.

If you use lawyer services, you agree that: IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LAWYER SERVICES OR FOR ANY ADVICE, INFORMATION OR SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY ANY ATTORNEY WITH WHOM YOU MAY MAKE CONTACT THROUGH OUR SITE, APPLICATION, AND SERVICES. TO THE EXTENT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS PROHIBITED, OUR SOLE OBLIGATION TO YOU FOR DAMAGES WILL BE LIMITED TO $100.00.

You also should be aware that certain states and jurisdictions have special rules relating to legal services. You should contact your state or local jurisdiction for more information.  While not intending to be exhaustive, please note the following additional state-specific attorney advertising disclosures if you live in the following states:

Rule 4-7.10(a)(10) requires that all lawyer referral services (as defined in the Florida Rules) must affirmatively state in all advertisements that it is a lawyer referral service.
