1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
By accessing or using the website of Noss & Russell, LLP ("Firm," "we," "us," or "our") located at nossrussell.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. These Terms of Use incorporate by reference the Firm's Disclaimer and Privacy Policy.
2. ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least 18 years of age and able to enter into a binding contract under applicable law to use the Site. If you use the Site on behalf of another person or entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that person or entity to these Terms of Use.
3. NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP
Your use of the Site, including reading its content, subscribing to the newsletter, or submitting an inquiry, does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm. An attorney-client relationship is established only through a written engagement agreement signed by both you and the Firm following a conflicts check and acceptance of representation by the Firm. Do not send confidential, privileged, or sensitive information until such an agreement is in place.
4. NO CONFIDENTIALITY OF SUBMISSIONS
Communications you send to the Firm through the Site, by email, by text message, or by other electronic means before an attorney-client relationship has been established in writing are unsolicited and unilateral. The Firm has not agreed to receive, evaluate, or maintain in confidence any information you transmit through these channels, and the security of these channels cannot be guaranteed. Until a written engagement agreement is signed, do not transmit confidential, privileged, or sensitive information.
Nothing in this provision is intended to waive any protection that may apply to communications with prospective clients under California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.18 or other applicable law.
