Terms of Use

Introduction

Welcome! You have reached a website and/or its subdomains (the “Site”) owned and operated by Scott Law Team LLC and/or its affiliates, related entities, divisions, subsidiaries, or parent companies (“SLT,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). Please read these terms carefully.

By accessing or viewing the Site, or by taking part in or using any products, goods, events, interactive features, or other services offered on the Site by SLT (together, the “Services”), you agree to these Terms of Use (the “Terms”). These Terms form a contract between you and SLT. If you are using the Site or Services on behalf of a company or organization, that company or organization also agrees to these Terms.

Important: These Terms include an Arbitration Provision, as well as a Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action.

We may sometimes change these Terms by adding, modifying, or removing certain parts. If we make any changes, we will post them here. Your continued use of the Site or Services after such changes means you accept the updated Terms. The revised Terms will take effect as soon as they are posted on the Site or become available through the Services.

SLT also has the right to change and improve the Services at any time. This may involve adding, changing, or removing features and functions of the Site or Services, or updating how our Services are offered. In addition, SLT can suspend or end the Services for any reason and at any time.

Account Creation and Your Responsibilities

To access and use the Site or Services, we may require you to register for a user account (“Account”). When creating an Account, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information during Account registration
  • Keep your Account information accurate, current, and complete
  • Be at least 18 years old to create an Account

You are responsible for protecting your Account. This means:

  • Keeping your password and other Account credentials confidential
  • Restricting access to your computer and other devices, to the extent they provide access to your Account
  • Taking responsibility for all activities that happen under your Account, username, and password

Because you are responsible for all Account activity, we strongly recommend not sharing your Account credentials with anyone.

SLT reserves the right to terminate your password, Account (in whole or in part), or your access to the Site or Services at any time, for any reason or no reason, at our sole discretion. SLT will not be responsible to you or any third party for terminating your access to the Services.

If your account is terminated:

  • You must immediately stop using the Site or Services
  • You must stop using any information you obtained from the Site or Services
  • You must destroy all copies of:
    • Your Account password
    • Other Account information
    • Any information obtained from the Site or Services

How You Can Use Your Account and Services and What’s Not Allowed of Account and Services

Account Features and Access: When you register for an Account, you can create a profile that shows your professional experience and abilities. Through your profile, you can display your contact information, allowing other users to reach you, and you can connect with other registered users. We also make certain parts of our Site and Services available to people who haven’t registered for an Account.

Information in Profiles and Records: As part of our profiles and Services, we maintain records that may include personal information (which we call “Records”). These Records can be created and listed by either SLT or by users, and both SLT and users have the ability to revise or update them. Because these Records can be changed at any time, SLT cannot guarantee the accuracy of any Record at any specific moment, and if you choose to rely on these Records, you do so at your own risk. You are only permitted to use these Records in connection with legitimate professional work. You may not use these Records to send mass mailings, unsolicited materials, or spam to any of the individuals or businesses listed. These prohibited actions may violate both laws and these Terms, which could result in legal consequences.

SLT’s Rights and Your Responsibilities: SLT maintains the right to refuse service, cancel service orders, terminate Accounts, or remove or edit content, and we can make these decisions based solely on our own judgment. You agree, represent, and warrant that all information you provide when using the Site or Services will be true, current, complete, and accurate. You also represent that your Account will only be used for lawful purposes – this means you cannot use your Account or the Services to commit or further fraudulent acts, or for any actions that could result in civil and/or criminal liability. You must notify us immediately if you discover any unauthorized access to or use of your Account.

Technical Rules and Security: You may only access the Site or Services through commercially available web browsers. You are not permitted to upload material onto the Site that you should know or do know infringes on the intellectual property rights of others. Additionally, you may not upload material that places unnecessary load that could affect the performance of the Site or SLT’s systems and equipment. The Site and Services must not be used in any way that could block access to, impair, damage, or otherwise disable SLT or any of our servers. You are prohibited from attempting to gain unauthorized access to the Site, Services, or to any other user’s accounts, computer systems, or networks through password mining, keystroke logging, hacking, deepfaking, or any other means. You will not upload any files that contain viruses, Trojan horses, malware, spyware, worms, corrupted files, or any other material or software that may damage the operation of another computer or other device. Remember that any and all materials uploaded are subject to applicable federal, state, and international laws.

If you have questions about sending sensitive information safely, please contact our office by phone for guidance at 561-653-0008.

How We Handle Your Submissions: Unless we specifically request it, SLT does not want to receive confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information through our Site or contact email.

Disclaimers

YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. SLT MAKES NO REPRESENTATION AS TO THE COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY OR CURRENCY OF ANY INFORMATION ON THIS SITE. THE CONTENT AND INFORMATION FOUND ON THIS SITE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY FOR THE PRODUCTS, INFORMATION OR SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SITE AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXPECTATIONS OF PRIVACY OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. SLT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT OUR EMAILS, THIS SITE OR THE SERVER THAT MAKES IT AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Limitation of Liabilities

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: IN NO EVENT WILL SLT (OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SUBSIDIARIES, RELATED ENTITIES, JOINT VENTURES AND EMPLOYEES) BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE, SERVICES, OR CONTENT INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF REVENUE, PROFITS, OR DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND EVEN IF SLT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL SLT AGGREGATE LIABILITY (OR THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SUBSIDIARIES, RELATED ENTITIES, JOINT VENTURES AND EMPLOYEES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF USE, THE SITE, OR THE SERVICES (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED $100. UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LAW, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE MUST BEGIN WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Release

If you have a dispute with one or more users of the Site or the Services, you release SLT (and its officers, directors, affiliates, agents, contractors, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from actions, claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any such dispute.

For California users and to the extent applicable, you acknowledge that you have been advised of and are aware that California Civil Code Section 1542 provides in pertinent part as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

You, being aware of said code section and such similar laws, hereby expressly waive any rights you may have thereunder, as well as under any other statutes or common law principles of similar effect.

SLT takes intellectual property rights seriously, and we expect our users to do the same. We follow the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), which you can find at:

http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf.

Under this law, we will quickly respond to proper notices about copyright infringement by:

  • Investigating the situation
  • Removing infringing content when necessary
  • Blocking access for users who repeatedly violate copyrights

If Someone Has Copied Your Work: If you believe someone has copied your work in a way that violates your copyright or other intellectual property rights, you can file a formal complaint. This is called a “DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement” (“Notice”). Here’s how to properly submit your Notice – you must include all of the following information:

Describing the Copyrighted Work: Tell us exactly what was copied. If multiple works were involved, you can provide a list of examples of the copyrighted materials that you believe were infringed.

Identifying the Infringing Content: Explain where on our Site you found the infringing material and describe it so we can locate it.

Your Contact Information: Provide your:

  • Mailing address
  • Telephone number
  • Email address (if you have one)

Required Statements: You must include these two statements exactly as written:

“I hereby state that I have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., fair use).”

“I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed.”

Your Signature and Identity Include:

  • Your full legal name
  • Your electronic or physical signature

Where to Send Your Notice: Send your completed Notice to our Designated Copyright Agent:
ADD NAME on behalf of Scott Law Team, LLC ADD ADDRESS Phone Number (561)653-0008 ADD Terms@scottlawteam.com

Important Warning About False Claims: While we take all copyright notices seriously, you should be careful about filing a complaint if you’re not sure your rights have been violated. You could be legally responsible for damages (including paying for lawyers and court costs) if you make false claims about copyright infringement. If you’re not sure whether someone’s use of your copyrighted material is illegal (for example, it might be “fair use”), you might want to talk to a lawyer first.

Termination

SLT reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to restrict, suspend, or terminate these Terms of Use and your access to all or any part of the Site or the Content or Services, at any time and for any reason without prior notice or liability. You may terminate these Terms of Use by discontinuing your use of the Services and access to the Site. SLT also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cease providing the Services and this Site at any time.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms shall be determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction or by any other legally constituted body having jurisdiction to make such determination, then solely as to that jurisdiction, such provision shall be limited or eliminated to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to comply with applicable law, and as so modified these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

Notice of Arbitration Provision (Agreement to Arbitrate) and Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Notice of Arbitration Provision and Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action

Any and all disputes relating to or arising from the Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, including, without limitation, disputes regarding the validity of this arbitration clause, shall be BINDING ARBITRATION administered JAMS pursuant to their rules and regulations.

What is Arbitration? Arbitration is a private way to resolve disputes that’s generally more streamlined than going to court. Instead of a judge or jury, a neutral third party (called an arbitrator) will make decisions about your case. Both you and SLT have the right to fair treatment throughout the entire process, including any hearings. The arbitrator has broad powers – they can decide all issues related to the dispute, including whether the dispute should be arbitrated, and can grant any solution that a court could provide. When arbitrators make decisions, these decisions can be enforced in court and are very difficult to overturn – courts will only reverse them in rare circumstances.

Our Agreement to Arbitrate: To the fullest extent allowed by law, both you and SLT agree that any and all disputes about our Terms of Use or Privacy Policy must be resolved through arbitration.

This includes any questions about whether the dispute can be arbitrated.

Here’s what you need to know about the arbitration process:

  • It will be subject to the rules of JAMS, which can be found here: https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/
  • It will take place in Palm Beach County, Florida
  • Florida state law will govern the arbitration
  • Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof
  • Unless otherwise provided by law, each side will pay their own costs and expenses
  • We’ll split the arbitrator’s fees and administrative costs equally

By agreeing to this, you are permanently giving up your right to:

  • File a lawsuit in court about these disputes (unless otherwise provided by law and/or includes a claim precluded from mandatory arbitration)
  • Have a jury trial
  • Participate in a class action lawsuit

Special Rights for Consumers: If you qualify as a consumer under JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards, you can request to have the arbitration hearing in your local area.

Important Rules About Class Actions and Group Proceedings: Any dispute resolution process, whether in arbitration or court, must be conducted only on an individual basis.

This means:

  • Neither you nor SLT can participate in a class action
  • Neither party can act as a representative for a group
  • No dispute proceedings can be combined without written permission from everyone involved in all affected proceedings

Understanding Your Rights: You should carefully review these terms and the arbitration agreement. You have the right to consult with a lawyer about what these provisions mean for you. If there’s any conflict between the arbitration organization’s rules and the rules in our Terms, our Terms will be the ones that apply.

General

These Terms of Use will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without reference to its choice of laws rules. Subject to the Agreement to Arbitrate, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any action under these Terms of Use will be in the state and federal courts of Palm Beach County, Florida. You hereby accept the personal jurisdiction of such courts. You may not assign any rights granted to you or delegate any of your duties hereunder and any attempt to do so is void and of no effect. SLT may assign its rights and delegate its duties under these Terms in their entirety in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of all, or substantially all, of its assets relating to these Terms of Use. Nothing in these Terms constitutes a partnership or joint venture between you and SLT. SLT does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to this Site or the Services, and operation of the Site or Services may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of its control. SLT’s failure to enforce any provisions of these Terms or act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to enforce any of these provisions or act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. These Terms of Use, together with any other applicable contracts or click-through agreements you may have entered into regarding out Site or our Services, set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and SLT with respect to the use of the Site and the Services, superseding any prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic). Sections 4 (Proprietary Policy); 8 (Information You Sent to SLT); 10 (Indemnification); 11 (Disclaimers); 12 (Limitation of Liabilities); 13 (Release); 16 (Severability); 17 (Notice of Arbitration Provision and Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action); and 18 (General) survive any termination or expiration of these Terms. Additionally, any provision that was, by its nature, intended to survive termination of these Terms will so survive. If these Terms are translated into any other languages, in whole or in part, then, in the event of any conflict, the English language version of these Terms shall control.
