These Terms of Use require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limit the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute.
brendenmacy.com provides an online legal portal to give visitors a general understanding of the law and to provide an opportunity to individuals who choose to prepare legal documents from templates, or consult with an attorney. The Site includes general information on commonly encountered legal issues. At no time do we review your answers 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. The Site and its forms or templates are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney.
We strive to keep our legal documents accurate, current and up-to-date. However, because the law changes rapidly, we cannot guarantee that all of the information on the Site or Documents 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 or legal tool like the kind the Site provides can fit every circumstance. Furthermore, the legal information contained on the Site and Documents is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. Therefore, if you need legal advice for your specific problem, or if your specific problem is too complex to be addressed by our tools, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.
From time to time, we may perform certain attorney access services and introduce our visitors to attorneys through various methods, including but not limited to (i) legal plans, (ii) third party attorney directory listings, and (iii) third party limited scope agreements. At no time is an attorney-client relationship fostered or created with us through the performance of any such services.
This Site and Documents are not intended to create any attorney-client relationship, and your use of the Site alone does not and will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and us. Instead, you are and will be representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake through the Documents.
