THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT AND MATERIALS THEREON ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, JDS LAW OFFICE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

JDS Law Office does not warrant that: (i) the Site will be available, uninterrupted, or error-free; (ii) defects will be corrected; (iii) the Site or the server that makes it available are free of viruses or other harmful components; or (iv) the information on the Site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or suitable for any particular purpose.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, JDS LAW OFFICE AND ITS ATTORNEYS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, or for any liability that cannot be excluded by applicable law.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless JDS Law Office and its attorneys, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (i) your use of or access to the Site; (ii) your violation of these Terms; (iii) your violation of any third-party right; or (iv) any content you submit through the Site.

Where payment for legal services is made through the Site or otherwise by credit card or debit card, a 2.99% card processing fee will be applied to the total amount of each transaction. This fee is assessed by our third-party payment processor and is non-refundable. By submitting a credit card or debit card payment, you authorize the applicable charge including the processing fee.

Clients who wish to avoid the card processing fee may remit payment via check, ACH/wire transfer, or such other payment methods as the Firm may make available. All fees and payment obligations are governed by the terms of any applicable engagement agreement between you and JDS Law Office.

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by JDS Law Office. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. We do not endorse any third-party websites or services.

JDS Law Office is licensed to practice law in specific jurisdictions. The information on this Site is not intended to solicit clients or represent that the Firm is authorized to practice law in any jurisdiction where it is not licensed. You are responsible for complying with all local laws and regulations applicable to your use of the Site.

The Site is operated from the United States. We make no representations that the Site or its content is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Individuals who access the Site from outside the United States do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within thirty (30) days, the parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by a mutually agreed-upon arbitration service, in accordance with its applicable rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

YOU AND JDS LAW OFFICE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and JDS Law Office agree otherwise, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.

JDS Law Office reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms.
