WEBSITE TERMS OF USE AND LEGAL DISCLAIMER

Last Updated: [July 30, 2026]

Welcome to the website of [LAW FIRM NAME] (“Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Website Terms of Use and

Legal Disclaimer (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of [WEBSITE URL], including its pages, articles, forms,

downloads, communications, and other content or features collectively referred to as the “Website.”

By accessing or using this Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If

you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Website.

General Information Only

The information presented on this Website is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

Nothing on this Website constitutes legal advice, a legal opinion, a recommendation regarding a particular legal

matter, or a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney who has reviewed the specific facts and circumstances of

your situation.

Laws, regulations, court decisions, industry rules, university policies, athletic-association requirements, and other

legal authorities may change over time. Information on this Website may not reflect the most recent legal

developments and may not apply to your specific circumstances or jurisdiction.

You should not act, delay action, or make a legal or business decision based solely on information found on this

Website.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

Accessing this Website, reading its content, downloading materials, submitting a contact form, sending an email,

leaving a voicemail, or otherwise communicating with the Firm does not create an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is established only after:

The Firm has reviewed the proposed matter;

The Firm has completed any necessary conflict-of-interest review;

The Firm has expressly agreed to accept the representation; and

The Firm and the client have entered into a written engagement agreement.

The Firm has no obligation to represent you merely because you contacted the Firm or submitted information

through the Website.

Do Not Submit Confidential or Time-Sensitive Information

You should not submit confidential, sensitive, proprietary, or time-sensitive information through the Website unless

an attorney with the Firm has specifically requested that information and confirmed an appropriate method for

transmitting it.

Although the Firm takes reasonable steps to protect communications, internet transmissions and Website forms

may not be completely secure. Information submitted before an attorney-client relationship is established may not

receive the same protections as communications made during an established attorney-client relationship.

Submitting information does not prevent the Firm from representing another person or entity whose interests may

be adverse to yours, subject to the Firm’s obligations under applicable law and professional-conduct rules.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to eliminate or limit any obligation the Firm may have under rules governing

communications with prospective clients.

Deadlines and Urgent Matters

Do not use the Website, email, or an online contact form for emergencies or matters involving an immediate

deadline.

Legal claims and other matters may be subject to statutes of limitation, contractual deadlines, notice requirements,

filing deadlines, administrative deadlines, or other time restrictions. Contacting the Firm does not pause, extend,

satisfy, or preserve any deadline.

You are responsible for taking timely action to protect your rights unless and until the Firm has expressly agreed in

writing to represent you.

If you are experiencing an emergency, contact the appropriate emergency service or governmental authority.

5. Practice-Area Information

The Website may include information relating to the Firm’s practice areas, including Corporate and Business Law,

Personal Injury Law, and Name, Image, and Likeness Law.

Corporate and Business Law

Information concerning business formation, contracts, transactions, governance, compliance, employment matters,

intellectual property, business disputes, or other commercial topics is general in nature.

Website content does not constitute individualized legal, financial, accounting, investment, securities, or tax advice.

Business owners and organizations should consult the appropriate legal, accounting, financial, and tax

professionals before taking action.

Personal Injury Law

Information concerning accidents, injuries, insurance claims, damages, settlements, litigation, or similar matters is

not a prediction or evaluation of any individual claim.

The value and outcome of a personal injury matter depend on its specific facts, available evidence, applicable

insurance coverage, legal defenses, jurisdiction, damages, and other circumstances.

Contacting the Firm does not preserve a personal injury claim or satisfy any applicable notice or filing deadline.

Name, Image, and Likeness Law

Information concerning name, image, and likeness rights—commonly referred to as “NIL”—is provided for general

informational purposes.

NIL matters may involve contracts, sponsorships, endorsements, licensing, intellectual property, business entities,

taxes, university policies, conference rules, athletic-association requirements, agent or representative regulations,

and state or federal law.

NIL rules and policies may change and may differ depending on the athlete, institution, athletic association,

competition level, location, and proposed activity. Student-athletes, parents, guardians, businesses, collectives,

schools, and other interested parties should obtain advice specific to the proposed agreement or activity before

signing a contract or accepting compensation.

6. No Guarantee of Results

The Firm does not guarantee or promise any particular legal result, recovery, settlement, business outcome,

contract term, eligibility determination, or other result.

Any descriptions of prior matters, representative experience, testimonials, reviews, case outcomes, settlements,

verdicts, or client results are provided for informational purposes only. Past results do not guarantee or predict a

similar outcome in any future matter.

Every legal matter is different, and the outcome of any matter depends upon its unique facts, applicable law,

available evidence, involved parties, decision-makers, and other circumstances beyond the Firm’s control.

7. Attorney Advertising

This Website may constitute attorney advertising under the laws and professional-conduct rules of Texas or other

jurisdictions.

The Firm does not seek to represent any person or entity in a jurisdiction where the Website or the Firm’s activities

would violate applicable laws or professional-conduct rules.

Attorney responsible for Website content: [ATTORNEY’S FULL NAME]

Primary practice location: [CITY, TEXAS]

Unless expressly stated otherwise, no attorney identified on this Website is certified by the Texas Board of Legal

Specialization. A description of a practice area does not mean that an attorney is certified as a specialist in that

area.

8. Attorney Licensing and Jurisdictional Limitations

The attorneys associated with the Firm are licensed only in the jurisdictions identified in their individual biographies

or other Website disclosures.

An attorney’s inclusion on the Website does not mean that the attorney is authorized to practice law in every state,

court, or jurisdiction. The Firm may associate with or refer matters to other attorneys when appropriate and when

permitted by applicable law and professional-conduct rules.

Website access from a particular location does not establish that the Firm practices or offers legal services in that

location.

9. Fees and Engagement Terms

Nothing on this Website creates a binding fee agreement or establishes the terms under which the Firm will provide

legal services.

Attorney fees, costs, expenses, billing arrangements, contingent fees, retainers, and the scope of representation

will be addressed in a separate written engagement agreement if the Firm accepts a matter.

Any discussion of fees on the Website is general and may be subject to additional terms, qualifications, costs, and

expenses.

10. Accuracy and Availability of Website Content

The Firm makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate and useful information. However, the Firm does not warrant

that Website content is complete, current, accurate, error-free, or applicable to a particular situation.

The Firm may update, revise, remove, or discontinue Website content or features at any time without notice. The

Firm has no obligation to update previously published content.

The Website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, technical problems, cybersecurity

incidents, service interruptions, or circumstances beyond the Firm’s control.

11. Permitted Use

You may use the Website only for lawful, personal, and informational purposes.

You may not:

 Use the Website in violation of any applicable law or regulation;

 Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its servers, accounts, systems, or networks;

 Introduce viruses, malicious code, automated scripts, or harmful technology;

 Scrape, harvest, copy, or collect information from the Website through automated means without written

permission;

 Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity;

 Interfere with the Website’s security, operation, or availability;

 Use the Website to transmit threatening, unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, or infringing material;

 Use Website content to create the false impression that the Firm represents, endorses, or is affiliated with

you; or

 Use Website content for commercial purposes without the Firm’s prior written permission.

The Firm may restrict or terminate access to the Website for conduct that violates these Terms.

12. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, the Website and its content—including text, logos, graphics, photographs, videos,

icons, page layouts, downloads, and other materials—are owned by or licensed to the Firm and are protected by

applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws.

You may view, download, or print a reasonable number of Website pages for personal, noncommercial,

informational use, provided that you do not remove any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices.

No Website content may be copied, reproduced, republished, modified, distributed, sold, displayed, transmitted, or

used to create derivative works without prior written permission from the Firm or the applicable rights holder.

The Firm’s name, logos, and other brand elements may not be used without prior written consent.

13. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, services, articles, applications, payment processors, social-

media platforms, or other resources.

These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only. The Firm does not control, endorse,

guarantee, or assume responsibility for third-party content, security practices, availability, products, services, or

privacy policies.

Your use of a third-party website or service is governed by that third party’s terms and policies. You access third-

party resources at your own risk.

14. Privacy and Electronic Communications

Information collected through the Website will be handled as described in the Firm’s Privacy Policy, which is

incorporated into these Terms by reference.

By voluntarily providing your contact information, you authorize the Firm to respond to your inquiry using the

contact methods you provided. Submission of a contact form does not enroll you in recurring marketing

communications unless you separately consent to receive them.

Email, text messages, website forms, and other electronic communications may not be secure. Do not send highly

sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, medical records, confidential

business documents, or unredacted contracts, unless the Firm has instructed you to use an approved secure

method.

15. Website Submissions

You represent that information you submit through the Website is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that

you have the legal right to provide it.

You should not submit documents or information belonging to another person or organization unless you are

authorized to do so.

The Firm may use information submitted through the Website to:

 Review and respond to your inquiry;

 Conduct a conflict-of-interest check;

 Determine whether the Firm can consider the matter;

 Communicate with you;

 Protect the Firm’s legal and security interests; and

 Operate the Website as described in the Privacy Policy.

The Firm is not required to retain unsolicited documents or information.

16. Minors

The Website is intended for general audiences and is not designed for unsupervised use by young children.

Because personal injury and NIL matters may involve minors, a parent, legal guardian, or other authorized adult

should participate in communications with the Firm when appropriate.

Submitting information regarding a minor does not create an attorney-client relationship with the minor, parent,

guardian, or any other person.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”

AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

THE FIRM DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, SECURITY, AND

AVAILABILITY.

THE FIRM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE,

FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECT WILL BE CORRECTED.

Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of certain warranties, so portions of this section may not apply to

you.

18. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE FIRM, ITS ATTORNEYS, EMPLOYEES,

CONTRACTORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,

INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR

RELATED TO:

 Your access to or use of the Website;

 Your inability to access or use the Website;

 Your reliance on Website content;

 Errors, omissions, interruptions, or security incidents;

 Third-party websites or services; or

 Information transmitted through the Website.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory asserted and even if the Firm has been advised of the

possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

19. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Firm and its attorneys, employees,

contractors, and service providers from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses—including reasonable

attorneys’ fees—arising from your unlawful use of the Website, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement

of another person’s rights.

20. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and your use of the Website will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to

conflict-of-law principles.

To the extent permitted by law, any dispute arising from or relating to the Website or these Terms shall be brought

in the state or federal courts located in [COUNTY NAME] County, Texas, and you consent to the personal

jurisdiction of those courts.

This section does not govern a separate attorney-client engagement agreement, which may contain different

governing-law or dispute-resolution provisions.

21. Changes to These Terms

The Firm may revise these Terms periodically. Revised Terms will be posted on this page with an updated “Last

Updated” date.

Your continued use of the Website after revised Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of those revisions.

You should review this page periodically.

22. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to

the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

23. No Waiver

The Firm’s failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive its right to enforce that provision or any

other provision later.

24. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Firm’s Privacy Policy and any other policies expressly incorporated by reference,

constitute the entire agreement between you and the Firm concerning your use of the Website.

These Terms do not replace or modify an engagement agreement between the Firm and an existing client.
