Terms & Conditions

Terms and Conditions

Scrivnr, LLC is not a law firm, meaning we do not act as your attorney, and we, and the legal information we provide, are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney. While we strive to provide helpful legal document forms and tools, the documents generated by the Services (defined below) are only intended to be self-help for either you to use independently or in combination with your professional services providers, or in connection with the delivery of professional services, as the case may be, and are not the result of any legal review or analysis by Scrivnr. No legal tool can be designed to work for every user or every circumstance, and you understand that you must determine for yourself, whether the Services offered are right for you. Scrivnr does not review your information or the documents you generate for legal accuracy or sufficiency, does not provide opinions about your selection of forms, and does not apply the law to the facts of your particular circumstances. Our Site content, Services, and the forms provided should not be construed as legal advice. NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP IS FORMED BY THE USE OF OUR SERVICES OR BY COMMUNICATING WITH OUR TEAM. If you need legal advice for your specific circumstances, you should consult with a licensed attorney in your area.

If you decide to engage with us, you will have a contract sent to review and sign. The terms of our engagement you decide to use will be in the contract. Additional contracts will be needed if you choose to engage the support of legal or other professionals.

The below terms and conditions relate to the use of this website and any related Services (defined below).

Terms and Conditions

Agreement between User and Scrivnr, LLC.

Welcome to Scrivnr. The Scrivnr website (the "Site") is an internet based platform comprised of various webpages operated by Scrivnr, LLC ("Scrivnr"). Scrivnr is offered to you, the “User”, conditioned on your acceptance without modification of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein (the "Terms"). Your use of Scrivnr constitutes your agreement to all such Terms. Throughout these Terms, when we refer to ‘you’ or ‘User,’ we are referring to persons who accept these Terms and gain access to our Site and Services. Please read these terms carefully and keep a copy of them for your reference.

Scrivnr Services

The intended use of this Site is for informational and educational purposes, serving as a gateway to the services we provide, including the generation and provision of various legal document forms, access to a professional services directory, and the provision of capital for users to cover expenses such as attorney retainers, court fees, or other start-up costs incurred in connection with probate (together, the “Services”).

Some of the Services require Users to provide additional personal information or data, authorize or consent to interconnection with systems and/or services owned by third parties. In the event that you do not provide such consent and/or the necessary information, Scrivnr, may not be able to provide such Services to you. Likewise, some Services may be limited by the conditions and/or policies of the third parties. Whenever the Services involve interconnection with systems and/or services owned or provided by third parties, and/or the terms and conditions and/or policies of such third party may be applicable to the Services or to you, Scrivnr will prior inform you in a sufficient manner.

Legal Document Forms

Scrivnr offers an array of legal document forms for your convenience as part of our Services. While we make every reasonable effort to ensure the information on our Site and Services, including in these forms, is current, the legal information provided is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete, or up-to-date. The law changes rapidly, varies by jurisdiction, and can be interpreted differently by various courts and government and administrative bodies. Therefore, the forms provided may not fit every circumstance.

Please note that the date of the last update is indicated on each form or in its accompanying information[U1] . These legal document forms are not intended to, and do not, constitute legal advice, nor do they create an attorney-client relationship. They are merely tools that you may choose to use independently or in combination with professional services.

Scrivnr does not review your information or the documents you generate for legal accuracy or sufficiency, and we do not apply the law to the facts of your circumstances. If you need legal advice tailored to your specific problem, or if your problem is too complex to be addressed by our tools, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area. Using our Services does not replace the advice or expertise of a licensed attorney.

The Scrivnr Site and Services provide access to various legal document forms for your convenience. SCRIVNR, SCRIVNR'S AFFILIATES, AND ALL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE MEMBERS, STOCKHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS, REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, "SCRIVNR PARTIES") EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE SCRIVNR PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE FORMS WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THEY WILL BE UP-TO-DATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, OR ERROR-FREE. WE DISCLAIM ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS, INJURY, CLAIM, LIABILITY, OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO (A) ANY ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE FORMS, (B) THE UNAVAILABILITY OF THE FORMS, (C) YOUR USE OF THE FORMS OR THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THEIR USE. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO THE PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES BY NORTH CAROLINA CONSUMERS.

Privacy
Your use of Scrivnr is subject to Scrivnr's Privacy Policy. Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs the Site and informs Users of our data collection practices.

Electronic Communications

Visiting Scrivnr or sending emails to Scrivnr constitutes electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically, via email and on the Site, satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Links to Third-Party Sites/Third-Party Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites ("Linked Sites"). The Linked Sites are not under the direct control of Scrivnr, and Scrivnr is not responsible for the contents of any Linked Site, including without limitation any link contained in a Linked Site, or any changes or updates to a Linked Site. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by Scrivnr of the linekd site or any association with its operators.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain Services made available via the Site are delivered through third-party sites or applications. In these instances, Scrivnr may maintain a level of control and oversight over the information provided through these Linked Sites. By using any product, service, or functionality originating from the Scrivnr domain, you acknowledge that such third parties’ policies and terms may be applicable to you, and that we may disclose some data to them as described in our Privacy Policy.

We cannot guarantee that these Linked Sites will function as intended. If you do not want information about you to be shared in this manner, do not use this feature. Please note that the use of third-party sites comes with certain risks, for which Scrivnr cannot be held liable. This includes, but is not limited to, the use, performance, delay, or inability to use the third-party site, the provision of or failure to provide services through the third-party site, or for any information, software, products, services, and related graphics obtained through the third-party site. For a more detailed explanation of our limitations of liability, please refer to our Liability Disclaimer section.

No Unlawful or Prohibited Use/Intellectual Property

You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use Scrivnr strictly in accordance with these Terms. As a condition of your use of the Site, you warrant to Scrivnr that you will not use the Site for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms. You may not use the Site in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Site or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of the Site. You may not obtain or attempt to obtain any materials or information through any means not intentionally made available or provided for through the Site.

All content included as part of the Site or our Services, such as text, graphics, logos, images, as well as the compilation thereof, and any software used on the Site, is the property of Scrivnr or its suppliers and protected by copyright and other laws that protect intellectual property and proprietary rights. You agree to observe and abide by all copyright and other proprietary notices, legends or other restrictions contained in any such content and will not make any changes thereto.

You will not modify, publish, transmit, reverse engineer, participate in the transfer or sale, create derivative works, or in any way exploit any of the content, in whole or in part, found on the Site or through our Services. Scrivnr content is not for resale. Your use of the Site or our Services does not entitle you to make any unauthorized use of any protected content, and in particular you will not delete or alter any proprietary rights or attribution notices in any content. You will use protected content solely for your personal use, and will make no other use of the content without the express written permission of Scrivnr and the copyright owner. You agree that you do not acquire any ownership rights in any protected content.

We do not grant you any licenses, express or implied, to the intellectual property of Scrivnr or our licensors except as expressly authorized by these Terms.

External Attorneys

Users may decide to engage with third-party attorneys of their choosing from a directory listing of legal professionals (the “Directory Listing”). At no time is an attorney-client relationship fostered or created with Scrivnr through the performance of any such services. Neither the Site nor Services are not intended to create any attorney-client relationship with Scrivnr, and your use of Scrivnr does not and will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Scrivnr. Instead, you are and will be representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake through Scrivnr’s legal document service, either independently or in combination with a licensed attorney, such as an External Attorney (as defined below). If you engage an External Attorney to provide legal advice, you will enter into a separate engagement that creates an attorney-client relationship between you and that attorney.

Those professionals listed in our Directory Listing are independent attorneys (“External Attorneys”) and are neither employees, agents, nor representatives of Scrivnr. Such External Attorneys are third-parties who carry their own malpractice insurance. When you contact an External Attorney of your own choosing, any initial interactions and any attorney-client relationship formed during the course of that interaction is strictly between you and the External Attorney and expressly EXCLUDES Scrivnr.

When you contact an External Attorney, you and the External Attorney control both the duration and scope of the interaction. Any attorney-client relationship formed during the course of that interaction may either end when the interaction with the External Attorney ends, or continue if you and the External Attorney agree to continue the engagement for further legal services.

If you wish to create an attorney-client relationship with an External Attorney that extends beyond your use of our Site or Services, that relationship will be on whatever terms you establish with the attorney in question. Those terms do NOT involve Scrivnr and, we do not set, control or influence them. For example, the External Attorney may ask you to sign a formal representation agreement regarding the scope of work they will perform, the cost of their legal services, and the handling of any out-of-pocket expenses they may incur.

Scrivnr does not receive any share of legal fees collected by any attorneys in the Directory Listing. In all cases, Scrivnr will not influence or interfere in any way with any attorney's independent professional judgment. External Attorneys reserve the right to refuse to perform legal services on your behalf in their sole discretion.

Scrivnr does not endorse or recommend any External Attorneys. You should carefully evaluate the experience and qualifications of any External Attorney before hiring them as your lawyer. Scrivnr makes no representation or warranty as to the qualifications or competency of any External Attorney or as to the accuracy or completeness of any External Attorney's work.

SCRIVNR SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR ANY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RENDERED BY ANY EXTERNAL ATTORNEY YOU ENCOUNTER ON OR THROUGH OUR SERVICES, AND ANY USE OR RELIANCE ON SUCH PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

International Users

The Services are controlled, operated and administered by Scrivnr from our offices within the USA. If you access the Services from a location outside the USA, you are responsible for compliance with all local laws. You agree that you will not use the Scrivnr content accessed through Scrivnr in any country or in any manner prohibited by any applicable laws, restrictions or regulations.

Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Scrivnr, its officers, directors, employees, agents and third parties, for any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) relating to or arising out of your use of or inability to use the Site or services, any User postings made by you, your violation of any terms of this Agreement or your violation of any rights of a third party, or your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. Scrivnr reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Scrivnr in asserting any available defenses.

In the event the parties are not able to resolve any dispute between them arising out of or concerning these Terms and Conditions, or any provisions hereof, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise at law or in equity for damages or any other relief, then such dispute shall be resolved only by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association, or a similar arbitration service selected by the parties, in a location mutually agreed upon by the parties. The arbitrator's award shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction. The parties agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims in regards to these Terms and Conditions or any disputes arising as a result of these Terms and Conditions, whether directly or indirectly, including Tort claims that are a result of these Terms and Conditions. The parties agree that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The entire dispute, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision, shall be determined by the Arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver

Any arbitration under these Terms and Conditions will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class/representative/collective actions are not permitted.
