Welcome to Law Guide USA. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of lawguideusa.com (the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Legal Information, Not Legal Advice
The articles, guides, and other content on the Site are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. They are not legal advice and should not be relied on as a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney about your specific situation.
- Laws differ from state to state and change over time. Information that is accurate in one state, or on the date it was published, may not apply to you.
- Legal outcomes depend on the specific facts of each case. General guides cannot account for your circumstances.
- Deadlines such as statutes of limitations can be strict. If you have a legal problem, contact a licensed attorney in your state promptly.
2. No Attorney–Client Relationship
Law Guide USA is a legal information publisher, not a law firm, and does not provide legal services. Reading the Site, subscribing to our newsletter, leaving a comment, or contacting us does not create an attorney–client relationship. Do not send us confidential information about a legal matter; it will not be protected by attorney–client privilege.
3. Accuracy of Information
We work to keep our guides accurate and up to date, but we make no guarantee that every article is complete, current, or error-free. Articles show their publication date, and the law may have changed since then. If you notice an error, please let us know.
4. Using the Site
You may read, share links to, and print articles for your personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to:
- Copy, republish, sell, or distribute our content in bulk without our written permission.
- Use automated tools to scrape or harvest content or data from the Site.
- Interfere with the Site’s security or operation, or attempt to access areas you are not authorized to access.
- Use the Site for any unlawful, misleading, or harmful purpose.
5. Intellectual Property
The Site and its content, including text, graphics, logos, and design, are owned by Law Guide USA or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Photographs may be used under license from their owners. “Law Guide USA” and our logo may not be used without permission.
6. Comments and Submissions
If you post a comment or send us a submission, you are responsible for what you submit. By posting, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, edit for length or clarity, and remove your comment. You agree not to post content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, infringing, spam, or that discloses confidential information about yourself or others. We may moderate or delete any comment at our discretion.
7. Newsletter
If you subscribe to The Weekly Legal Brief, you agree to receive periodic emails from us. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email. Our handling of your email address is described in our Privacy Policy.
8. Third-Party Links
The Site may link to third-party websites, such as government resources, courts, or other publishers. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. A link does not mean we endorse the website or its owner.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors or viruses.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Law Guide USA and its owners, writers, and contributors will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Site or its content, including any decision you make or action you take based on information found on the Site. Some states do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Law Guide USA and its owners and contributors from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your misuse of the Site, your comments or submissions, or your violation of these Terms.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the Site’s owner is located, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect.
