These terms govern your use of the ProbateRisk website and platform. By using them, you agree to these terms.
What ProbateRisk is, and is not
ProbateRisk is a technology platform. It is not a law firm, it does not provide legal advice, and no attorney client relationship is created between you and ProbateRisk by using the platform. When you complete an interview branded for a law firm, your professional relationship is with that firm and its attorneys, on the terms that firm establishes with you, and completing an interview does not by itself create an engagement with any firm.
Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least eighteen years old to use the platform. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your sign in codes to yourself. You are responsible for activity under your account.
The interview and draft documents
The interview gathers information used to prepare draft estate planning documents and related materials for review by attorneys at the firm you work with. Drafts are exactly that, drafts. They are not legal advice from ProbateRisk, they are not complete until an attorney has reviewed them with you, and you should not sign, rely on, or act on any draft without that review and your attorney's guidance on execution.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use the platform for any unlawful purpose, not to submit information about others without authority to do so, not to probe, scrape, reverse engineer, or interfere with the platform or its security, and not to use the platform to build a competing product.
Law firm agreements
Law firms use ProbateRisk under separate written agreements. If you are using the platform on behalf of a firm, those agreements control over these terms wherever they differ.
Intellectual property
The platform, this website, and the ProbateRisk document architecture and masters are owned by ProbateRisk or its licensors and are protected by law. We grant you a limited, personal, nonexclusive right to use the platform for its intended purpose. If you send us feedback, we may use it without obligation to you.
Third party services
The platform works alongside third party services, such as scheduling and practice management tools. Those services have their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.
Disclaimers
The platform is provided as is and as available. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, and we do not warrant any particular legal, tax, or financial outcome.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ProbateRisk will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, and our total liability for any claim relating to the platform will not exceed the amounts you paid to ProbateRisk in the twelve months before the claim arose, or one hundred dollars if you have paid nothing. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
Termination
You may stop using the platform at any time. We may suspend or end access for conduct that violates these terms or threatens the platform or its users.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflicts principles, and any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Massachusetts.
Changes
We may update these terms, and the updated version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept them.
