Terms of Service and Legal Notices

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE AND LEGAL NOTICES (“Agreement”) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE. The website or landing page from which you accessed these Terms, and any other website or landing page owned, operated, or controlled by Poulin | Willey Trial Lawyers that links to these Terms (collectively, the “Site”), is owned or managed by Poulin | Willey Trial Lawyers (“PW,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Any use of the Site is subject to this Agreement and our Privacy Policy. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, you should not use the Site. We may modify, add, or remove terms or conditions of this Agreement by posting changes to the Site. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes.

No Attorney-Client Relationship or Obligation Arises from Use of the Site

The law differs in every jurisdiction. You should not rely on information on this Site as a substitute for advice from an attorney who is licensed or otherwise authorized to practice in the applicable jurisdiction, has been fully informed of the relevant facts, and has undertaken to represent you. You should not act or refrain from acting based solely on information found on this Site.

Viewing the Site, communicating with PW by email, telephone, text message, chat, web form, or other means, or submitting information through the Site does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship exists only after PW and the prospective client expressly agree to representation in writing, including execution of any required engagement agreement. PW may decline any matter in its discretion. Until an attorney-client relationship is established, you remain responsible for protecting your rights and complying with all applicable deadlines, including statutes of limitation and statutes of repose.

Site Provided As-Is

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PW DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND ERROR-FREE OPERATION. PW DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SITE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE UNINTERRUPTED, BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

Confidentiality Is Not Guaranteed

Information sent to PW through ordinary Internet communications may not be secure. Although PW respects the privacy of persons who contact the firm and will use reasonable measures to protect information in accordance with applicable law and our Privacy Policy, communications made before an attorney-client relationship is established should not be assumed to be privileged or confidential. Do not send information you consider highly sensitive unless and until PW instructs you to do so through an appropriate channel.

Submission of Potential Case Information; Referrals and Associated Counsel

By submitting information to PW, you authorize PW to review the information for purposes of evaluating a potential legal matter. You also agree that PW may, when appropriate and consistent with applicable law and professional obligations, provide your contact information and information concerning your potential claim to other lawyers or law firms with whom PW may consult, associate, co-counsel, or refer matters, so that those lawyers may evaluate whether they are interested in discussing your potential claim with you. This authorization does not include permission to share your mobile number, messaging opt-in data, or messaging consent information with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

Neither PW nor any other lawyer or law firm is obligated to accept your matter, contact you, or provide legal advice merely because information was submitted. PW makes no representation or guarantee concerning the merits, value, outcome, or recoverability of any potential claim. Unless PW and you agree in writing to create an attorney-client relationship, none exists. You should seek other counsel as necessary to protect against applicable deadlines.

Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into this Agreement and also governs use of the Site. Questions concerning privacy may be directed to info@poulinwilley.com.

Text, SMS/MMS, and RCS Communications

When you provide your mobile number and opt in to receive SMS/MMS or RCS messages from PW, you consent to receive messages related to your inquiry or legal matter, which may include case-evaluation confirmations, intake follow-ups, appointment reminders, case-status communications, document requests, and responses to messages you send. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of retaining PW or using the Site. Message frequency varies based on your inquiry or case activity. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time or HELP for help. You may also contact PW at 800-777-7777.

PW does not sell or share your mobile number, messaging opt-in data, or consent information with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Messaging-originator opt-in data and consent may be provided to service providers only as necessary to deliver or support the messaging service or as otherwise permitted by law.

Participation in the Site and Restrictions on Use

PW grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site in accordance with this Agreement, for lawful personal and non-commercial purposes, and to print discrete Site information for such purposes provided that all copyright and proprietary notices are retained. PW may modify, suspend, restrict, or terminate operation of or access to the Site or any feature at any time.

You agree to use the Site in good faith. You may not:

submit information that is false, misleading, unlawful, or that you do not have a right to disclose;
misidentify yourself, impersonate another person or entity, or misrepresent an affiliation;
threaten, abuse, harass, defame, exploit, or invade the rights or privacy of another person or entity;
infringe or misappropriate intellectual-property, publicity, privacy, contractual, fiduciary, or other rights;
collect or store personal data concerning other users without authorization;
use the Site for data mining, scraping, automated extraction, or commercial exploitation beyond ordinary personal use without PW’s prior written consent;
introduce a virus, worm, malicious code, denial-of-service mechanism, or other technology intended or likely to disrupt, overload, damage, or impair the Site;
forge headers, manipulate identifiers, circumvent access controls, gain unauthorized access, or attempt to compromise any account, system, feature, or network;
adapt, alter, reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile the Site or PW technology except to the limited extent such restriction is prohibited by law;
frame, mirror, reproduce, sell, resell, or commercially exploit the Site or PW intellectual property without prior written consent;
use the Site for unlawful, fraudulent, malicious, abusive, obscene, hateful, or otherwise prohibited purposes; or
violate any applicable local, state, federal, national, or international law or regulation.

PW may prohibit access, use, communications, or content that PW reasonably determines violates this Agreement, harms the Site or its users, or threatens PW, its clients, partners, licensors, or other persons. Unauthorized use terminates the license granted by this Agreement.

Liquidated Damages for Intentional Site Disruption

If you intentionally use a computer worm, virus, malicious code, denial-of-service mechanism, or similar device or conduct for the purpose of disrupting, overloading, damaging, or materially impairing the Site, the resulting harm may be difficult to quantify. To the extent enforceable under applicable law, you agree that PW may recover liquidated damages of $5,000 for each day the Site is materially damaged or impaired as a result of such intentional conduct until the Site is reasonably restored. The parties intend this amount as a reasonable estimate of difficult-to-measure harm and not as a penalty. This provision does not limit PW’s right to seek injunctive relief or compensation for separate injuries not reasonably encompassed by the liquidated amount.

Submissions

If you submit information through the Site, you agree to provide information that is true, accurate, current, and complete to the best of your knowledge. You are responsible for content you upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise submit.

Except for personal information governed by our Privacy Policy, information intentionally submitted for publication or public display on the Site may be treated as non-confidential. To the extent you submit content for publication, testimonials, comments, photographs, or other materials with authorization for PW to use them, you grant PW a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, publish, transmit, and distribute that content for the authorized purpose, subject to applicable law and professional-responsibility rules. This paragraph does not grant PW ownership of confidential case materials merely because they are submitted for case evaluation.

Intellectual Property Rights

The Site and its content, including text, graphics, logos, photographs, video, design, software, trademarks, service marks, and other materials, are owned by PW or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited license expressly granted in this Agreement, no license or right is granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. No Site materials may be copied, reproduced, republished, distributed, modified, or commercially exploited without permission except as allowed by law.

Information Is Not Medical Advice

Information on the Site concerning injuries, medical conditions, treatments, pharmaceuticals, devices, recalls, or health-related topics is provided for general informational purposes only and is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek appropriate medical care and consult a qualified health professional regarding medical questions. Never disregard or delay professional medical advice because of information on this Site. Information concerning recalls or other health matters may change and may not be current.

Site Content; Results; No Guarantee

PW may change, remove, correct, or add Site content without notice. Site materials may contain technical, factual, typographical, or other errors. Past results, verdicts, settlements, testimonials, endorsements, case descriptions, or other examples do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any future matter. Every legal matter is different and depends on its facts, law, jurisdiction, evidence, parties, counsel, and other circumstances.

International Use

The Site is controlled and administered from the United States and is intended primarily for use in the United States. PW makes no representation that the Site or its content is appropriate, lawful, or available for use outside the United States.

Third-Party Websites

The Site may link to third-party websites or services for convenience. A link does not necessarily mean that PW sponsors, endorses, controls, or is affiliated with the third party. PW is not responsible for third-party content, availability, privacy practices, security, or terms. Use of third-party sites is at your own risk, and you should review their applicable terms and privacy policies.

Relationship Among Lawyers; Geographic Scope of Practice

PW provides legal services only in jurisdictions where its attorneys are licensed, admitted, or otherwise authorized to practice. Depending on the nature and location of a matter, PW may consult with, associate, co-counsel with, or refer a matter to other lawyers or law firms that are appropriately licensed or otherwise authorized in the applicable jurisdiction. Any such arrangement will be handled in accordance with applicable law and rules of professional conduct, including any client disclosure or consent requirements.

An initial consultation may be provided without charge. If PW agrees to represent you, the terms of representation will be stated in a written engagement agreement. Where other attorneys or firms participate in a representation, the engagement agreement or other appropriate communication will address their role as required by applicable law.

Contingency Fees and Costs

Unless a different arrangement is requested by you and agreed to by PW in writing, matters accepted by PW are generally handled on a contingency-fee basis. Under that arrangement, you pay no attorney fee or case costs unless a recovery is obtained on your behalf, subject to the specific terms of your written engagement agreement and applicable law. If there is a recovery, attorney fees are calculated as the percentage or other amount stated in the engagement agreement, and case costs are handled as described in that agreement. If there is no recovery, you will not be responsible for case costs unless you expressly agreed otherwise before the cost was incurred. Association or participation of other lawyers or law firms does not by itself increase the total fee charged to you, although the governing engagement agreement controls.

Inquiries and Call Recording

Inquiries made through the Site may be responded to by PW or, where appropriate and permitted, referred or directed to other attorneys or law firms. PW may decline to respond to or accept any inquiry. Telephone calls made to or from PW may be recorded or monitored for recordkeeping, training, quality assurance, compliance, and service-improvement purposes, subject to applicable law.

State Laws Vary

The laws, procedural rules, statutes of limitation, statutes of repose, damages rules, and ethical requirements applicable to legal matters differ by jurisdiction. General information on the Site may not apply to your state or circumstances. A verdict or settlement obtained in another matter does not establish what will happen in your matter. Because deadlines can bar otherwise valid claims, persons with potential legal claims should consult qualified counsel promptly.

Legal and Ethical Requirements

PW intends for the Site to comply with applicable legal and professional-responsibility requirements. PW does not seek to represent any person based on Site communications in a jurisdiction where doing so would violate applicable law or ethical rules. Any designation of a principal office, attorney responsible for advertising, or other jurisdiction-specific information required by applicable law may appear in the Site’s principal disclaimer, footer, attorney-advertising notice, or other location incorporated into the Site.

Honors, Accolades, Recognition, Testimonials, and Endorsements

To the extent any honor, award, accolade, rating, testimonial, endorsement, membership, badge, or recognition displayed on the Site constitutes attorney advertising, it is not intended to guarantee results, imply certification or specialization where none exists, or represent that PW or any attorney can achieve a particular result. Terms such as “best,” “top,” “leading,” “super,” or similar language used in the name of a third-party award or list refer to the terminology used by that third party and do not independently represent superior ability. Users are encouraged to review the criteria of the organization granting any recognition.

Testimonials and endorsements reflect the experiences or opinions of the persons providing them and do not guarantee that another client will obtain the same or similar result. Photographs, video, reenactments, dramatizations, stock imagery, or actors may be used for illustrative or advertising purposes where permitted by law. Unless expressly identified otherwise, a person depicted in stock imagery is not necessarily a PW client, attorney, employee, or participant in an actual event.

Disclosures Regarding Attorney Advertising

Some jurisdictions may consider this Site attorney advertising. The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are important decisions and should not be based solely on advertisements, self-proclaimed expertise, past results, testimonials, or endorsements. Anyone considering a lawyer should independently evaluate the lawyer’s qualifications and ability. No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed by PW is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers, except to the extent a jurisdiction permits such a statement and it is objectively substantiated.

Free Background Information

Before deciding to hire PW, you may request information about the qualifications and experience of the lawyers who may handle your matter by contacting PW at 800-777-7777 or info@poulinwilley.com. Additional information about lawyers may also be available from the licensing authority or bar association in the jurisdiction in which the lawyer is admitted.

Website Comment Policy

Where the Site permits comments or other public submissions, PW may moderate, pre-approve, edit, refuse, or delete content in its discretion, including spam; defamatory, threatening, profane, discriminatory, unlawful, infringing, misleading, or offensive material; personal attacks; confidential information; or material unrelated to the discussion. A posted comment is not necessarily approved or endorsed by PW. PW assumes no responsibility for user-posted content. This policy may be changed at any time.

Governing Law; Binding Individual Arbitration

These Terms of Use and Legal Notices are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to choice-of-law principles, except to the extent federal law or another jurisdiction’s non-waivable law applies.

Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or superseded by a written attorney-client engagement agreement, any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and PW arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, this Agreement, communications initiated through the Site, or services obtained as a result of the Site shall be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration before a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under the applicable AAA rules. The seat of arbitration shall be Charleston County, South Carolina, unless the AAA or arbitrator determines that another location or remote proceeding is required by applicable rules, law, or undue hardship.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND PW WAIVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE SUCH A DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION. The arbitrator shall not have authority to decide claims on a class, collective, or representative basis. Threshold questions concerning the existence, scope, validity, or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including arbitrability, shall be decided by the arbitrator except where applicable law requires a court to decide the issue.

The parties will share arbitration expenses as required by the applicable AAA rules and law. If you demonstrate that arbitration costs would impose an undue hardship, PW will advance or bear such amounts as required by applicable law or AAA rules, subject to any lawful reallocation by the arbitrator. Nothing in this provision prevents either party from seeking temporary or emergency injunctive relief where permitted by law.

IMPORTANT: If you become a PW client and execute a written engagement agreement containing provisions concerning dispute resolution, governing law, venue, fees, costs, or other terms of representation, that written engagement agreement controls the attorney-client relationship to the extent it conflicts with these website Terms.

Disclaimer of Warranties

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SITE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL CONTENT AND SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS-IS AND AS-AVAILABLE BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. PW DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, ERROR-FREE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THAT INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE SITE WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT.

Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through use of the Site is accessed at your discretion and risk. No oral or written information obtained from PW or through the Site creates a warranty not expressly stated in this Agreement.

Electronic Communications; Website Submissions and Legal Deadlines

PW does not guarantee that any communication, inquiry, form submission, email, text message, document upload, voicemail, or other information transmitted through or in connection with the Site will be received, reviewed, or responded to within any particular period of time. Technical failures, transmission errors, service interruptions, spam filtering, incorrect contact information, or other circumstances may delay or prevent receipt or response.

Submitting information to PW through the Site, by email, text message, telephone, or any other means does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not constitute PW’s acceptance of your matter. You should not rely upon any communication with PW to protect, preserve, or extend your legal rights unless and until PW has expressly agreed in writing to represent you.

NO COMMUNICATION WITH OR SUBMISSION TO PW TOLLS, EXTENDS, SATISFIES, OR OTHERWISE AFFECTS ANY STATUTE OF LIMITATION, STATUTE OF REPOSE, NOTICE REQUIREMENT, FILING DEADLINE, PRESERVATION REQUIREMENT, OR OTHER LEGAL DEADLINE. You remain solely responsible for protecting your legal rights and complying with all applicable deadlines unless and until PW expressly accepts representation in writing. If you believe a legal deadline may be approaching, you should promptly consult qualified legal counsel.

Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PW and its attorneys, employees, agents, affiliates, service providers, licensors, and representatives from and against third-party claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of or relating to: (i) your unlawful, fraudulent, malicious, or unauthorized use of the Site; (ii) your material violation of this Agreement; (iii) content or information you submit, post, transmit, or otherwise make available through the Site that infringes, misappropriates, or violates the rights of another person or entity; or (iv) your intentional misuse of the Site or interference with its operation.

This indemnification provision does not require you to indemnify PW for PW’s own professional negligence, legal malpractice, willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot lawfully be shifted to you. Nothing in this provision modifies the duties PW may owe to a client under an applicable written attorney-client engagement agreement or applicable law.

Survival

Termination, suspension, restriction, or discontinuation of your access to or use of the Site does not affect provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive. Without limitation, provisions concerning intellectual property, restrictions on use, submissions and licenses, liquidated damages, disclaimers of warranties, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law, arbitration and dispute resolution, contractual limitation periods, and any accrued rights or obligations shall survive termination or cessation of your use of the Site to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If you become a PW client, termination or cessation of your use of the Site does not terminate the attorney-client relationship. The creation, scope, duration, and termination of any attorney-client relationship are governed by the applicable written engagement agreement, applicable law, and rules of professional conduct.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PW AND ITS ATTORNEYS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, LICENSORS, AND REPRESENTATIVES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE; LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR USE; UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA; THIRD-PARTY STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT; OR OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT A MONETARY LIMIT IS PERMITTED AND APPLICABLE, PW’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING SOLELY FROM USE OF THE SITE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT, IF ANY, PAID BY YOU TO PW FOR THE SPECIFIC SITE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

These exclusions and limitations apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law and do not limit duties or liabilities that cannot lawfully be waived or limited.

Entire Agreement; Relationship to Engagement Agreement

These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy and other legal notices expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement between you and PW concerning use of the Site and supersede prior understandings concerning Site use. They do not supersede, restrict, amend, or replace a written attorney-client engagement agreement. If you become a client, the executed engagement agreement governs the attorney-client relationship and controls in the event of a conflict concerning representation, fees, costs, responsibilities, dispute resolution, or other terms of legal services.

PW’s failure to enforce a provision of this Agreement does not waive that provision. If a provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions remain in effect. Any waiver by PW must be in writing.

Contractual Limitation Period

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT WHERE A DIFFERENT PERIOD IS REQUIRED BY NON-WAIVABLE LAW OR PROVIDED IN A CONTROLLING WRITTEN ATTORNEY-CLIENT ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO USE OF THE SITE OR THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES OR IT WILL BE BARRED.

Attorney Ethics Notice

Attorneys who participate in any aspect of the Site remain responsible for complying with applicable rules of professional conduct, including rules concerning advertising, solicitation, confidentiality, conflicts, unauthorized practice of law, and misrepresentations. PW does not assume responsibility for another attorney’s independent compliance obligations.

Nature of Investigations and Allegations

The Site may discuss companies, institutions, products, individuals, or other entities that are being investigated, have been sued, are subject to recalls, or have been accused of misconduct. An investigation, lawsuit, allegation, complaint, recall, or similar event does not by itself establish that any person or entity committed an illegal, negligent, wrongful, or improper act. Allegations remain allegations unless established through an appropriate legal process or otherwise admitted.

California Privacy Requests

To the extent a California privacy law applies to PW and provides you with a right to make a request concerning your personal information, you may submit that request to info@poulinwilley.com. PW will process applicable requests in accordance with governing law and its Privacy Policy.
