Legal Document Preparers provides the Site to give visitors a general understanding of the law governing our conduct and to provide some automated software solutions to connect visitors with us. Clients need not visit the Site or download or even use Legal Document Preparers software. The Site includes general information and general purpose products only. The Legal Document Preparers Services may also include a review of your pro se or pro per documents for completeness, spelling, and for internal consistency of names, addresses and the like. At no time do we review your documents for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice, opinions or recommendations about your legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms, or strategies, or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation.

Legal Document Preparers, its Services, and its forms or templates are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney.

Legal Document Preparers strives to keep its information accurate, current and up-to-date. However, because the law and health guidelines changes rapidly, Legal Document Preparers cannot guarantee that all of the information on the Site or Applications 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 like the kind Legal Document Preparers provides via the Site can fit every circumstance. Furthermore, the legal information contained on the Site and Applications is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. Therefore, for the purposes of compliance with applicable state laws, any information provided to you directly in one-on-one correspondence controls. Regardless of any statutory requirement of specific language to give notice in a particular state, we are not attorneys authorized to practice law in any state and we are prohibited from providing legal advice or legal representation to any person. If you need legal advice for your specific problem, or if your specific problem is too complex to be addressed by a document preparation service, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.

From time to time, Legal Document Preparers may introduce our visitors to attorneys through various methods, including but not limited to (i) direct referrals and (ii) third party attorney directory listings. At no time is an attorney-client relationship fostered or created with Legal Document Preparers through the performance of any such acts.

This Site and Applications are not intended to create any attorney-client relationship, and your use of Legal Document Preparers does not and will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Legal Document Preparers. Instead, you are and will be representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake through Legal Document Preparers’s document preparation service.

6. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.

Summary:

Most client concerns can be resolved quickly and to the client’s satisfaction by calling 1-888-208-0409 or writing us. In the unlikely event that the Legal Document Preparers is unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if Legal Document Preparers has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or in small claims court rather than in a court of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than a court does, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. While in some instances, upfront costs to file an arbitration claim may exceed similar costs to bring a case in court, for any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $10,000, Legal Document Preparers will pay half of the filing fee for consumer-initiated arbitration. The arbitrator shall apply the same limitations period that would apply in court.

You may speak with independent counsel before using this Site or completing any purchase.

Arbitration Agreement:

(a) Legal Document Preparers and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us before a single arbitrator. The types of disputes and claims we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted. It applies, without limitation, to:

claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory;
claims that arose before these or any prior Terms (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to “Legal Document Preparers,” “you,” and “us” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, employers, business partners, shareholders, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms or any prior agreements between us. Beneficiaries include, but are not limited to, those named in an estate planning document.

This arbitration agreement does not preclude your bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Legal Document Preparers are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send, by U.S. certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party. A Notice to Legal Document Preparers should be sent to our registered agent, addressed to: Notice of Dispute, General Counsel, Legal Document Preparers, LLC, 401 Ryland Street, Suite 200A, Reno, NV 89502 (the “Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If Legal Document Preparers and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Legal Document Preparers may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Legal Document Preparers or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Legal Document Preparers is entitled.

You may download or copy a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association (“the AAA”) website at https://www.adr.org.

(c) After Legal Document Preparers receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for one-half of your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000. (Currently, the filing fee for consumer-initiated arbitrations is $200, but this is subject to change by the arbitration provider. If you are unable to pay this fee, Legal Document Preparers will not pay it.) The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association, as modified by these Terms, for all claims under $10,000, and the applicable rules as determined by the AAA for all claims of or above $10,000, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of the arbitration provision and the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of paragraph (f) are for the court to decide. Unless Legal Document Preparers and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your contact address. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If you choose to proceed either in person or by telephone, we may choose to respond only by telephone or submission. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules will determine whether you have a right to a hearing. The parties agree that in any arbitration of a dispute or claim, neither party will rely for preclusive effect on any award or finding of fact or conclusion of law made in any other arbitration of any dispute or claim to which Legal Document Preparers was a party. Except as otherwise provided for herein, Legal Document Preparers will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Legal Document Preparers for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek relief valued at more than $10,000 (including attorney’s fees and expenses), the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules.

(d) For claims under $10,000, if, after finding in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim, the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Legal Document Preparers’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then Legal Document Preparers will:

pay you either the amount of the award or $250 (“the alternative payment”), whichever is greater; and
pay your attorney, if any, the amount of attorney’s fees, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs), that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration (the “attorney’s payment”).

If Legal Document Preparers did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, you and your attorney will be entitled to receive the alternative payment and the attorney’s fees, respectively, if the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney’s fees at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. In assessing whether an award that includes attorney’s fees or expenses is greater than the value of Legal Document Preparers’s last written settlement offer, the arbitrator shall include in his or her calculations only the value of any attorney’s fees or expenses you reasonably incurred in connection with the arbitration proceeding before Legal Document Preparers’s settlement offer.

(e) The right to attorney’s fees and expenses discussed in paragraph (d) supplements any right to attorney’s fees and expenses you may have under applicable law. Thus, if you would be entitled to a larger amount under applicable law, this provision does not preclude the arbitrator from awarding you that amount. However, you may not recover duplicative awards of attorney fees or costs.

(f) The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. YOU AND LEGAL DOCUMENT PREPARERS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR IN THE CAPACITY OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Further, unless both you and Legal Document Preparers agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other clients. Neither you nor we may seek non-individualized relief that would affect other clients. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

(g) If the amount in dispute exceeds $10,000 or either party seeks any form of injunctive relief, either party may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by AAA by a written notice of appeal within thirty (30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award. An award of injunctive relief shall be stayed during any such appeal. The members of the three-arbitrator panel will be selected according to AAA rules. The three-arbitrator panel will issue its decision within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of the appealing party’s notice of appeal. The decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding, subject to any right of judicial review that exists under the FAA.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision in the applicable Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to any notice address, website link or telephone number provided herein), that change will not apply to any dispute of which we had written notice on the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this arbitration provision, any such termination will not be effective until at least thirty (30) days after written notice of such termination is provided to you, and shall not be effective as to disputes which arose prior to the date of termination.
