Legal.io Terms of Service

Last updated: October 23rd, 2021

Legal.io is a platform infrastructure service to make it easy to orchestrate networks of legal professionals and channel their expertise to clients who need their help. In participating in the use of the Platform Services, you may be the operator of a platform, or you may be authorised by such an operator to access their platform -- to receive legal services, provide legal services, or manage the provision of legal services. We have also developed additional services that you can use with the Platform Services, such as Legal.io Transaction Services (allowing you to accept payments, offer proposals, and publish service and expertise information through various channels). Also review our Privacy Policy, which governs how information about you is used.

Below is a quick description of the sections in this Agreement, but there are important details in the whole document, so you should read it.

Registering for Legal.io

In participating in the use of the Platform Services, you must register for an account. You provide us with basic information about you and your organization; we will seek to verify your information (we may work with third parties to do so) and approve your account unless deemed risky (by us or our payment processors). You give us permission to do all this and to periodically update the information or we otherwise must decline to offer services to you.

Legal.io Platform Services

We provide you with a software platform and a service to receive and refer legal needs and to engage and manage a network of professionals to serve those needs; we will respect and protect your privacy, data and personal information. You run your platform, your business, your practice, access legal help, service your prospective and current clients, protect your clients' data, and observe all laws, rules, and regulations. Legal.io may offer other services to you that may be subject to additional or different terms.

Platform Governance Framework

These terms of service govern rights and obligations between you and Legal.io. In addition, each platform operator, in authorizing access to their platform(s), provides for platform governance rules, which govern rights and obligations between the platform operator and managers, providers and recipients of services offered and delivered through their platform. These platform governance rules may include specific admission requirements for access and participation in any given platform community, such as acceptance of certain referral arrangements, fees, service standards, and engagement protocols.

Legal.io Transaction Services

As a provider or a platform operator, you may publish service information, design and offer proposals and accept payments, subject to our payment services terms. Funds from your transactions (minus fees) are paid to you at a schedule communicated to you once your Legal.io Transaction Services Account is approved. Initial payouts for your card and electronic cheque transactions are typically sent to your bank within 14 days. A certain amount of your funds may be subject to an additional hold period (e.g. Reserve Account) with terms determined by your perceived risk and transaction history. You are responsible for refunds, returns, and liable for customer disputes (chargebacks).

Termination and Other Legal Terms

We can terminate this agreement at any time. You can also terminate anytime. Termination is effective immediately. Termination does not alter your liability for fees, processed payments or related chargebacks. This section also includes all the other legal terms (e.g. IP, indemnification, warranties, assignment, etc.).

Section B: Legal.io Platform Services

1. Our Role

1.1 For Platform Operators. We provide the Platform Services for law firms and legal service organizations to operate a platform to receive, manage and refer legal needs, so that legal service providers can focus on delivering better client experiences, and legal service recipients can access and engage timely, high-quality, cost-effective expertise (a "Platform"). Platforms can be used for client-centric collaboration, expertise-discovery, and referral between organizations, managers, legal professionals, and Participants seeking legal help.

1.2 For Participants Seeking Legal Help. For Participants seeking legal help, the Platform Services offer simple ways to efficiently, securely and effectively connect to relevant legal expertise, and to share access to relevant personal data with their express consent and authorization ("Authorization").

1.3 For Participants Offering Legal Help. For Participants offering legal help, the Platform Services offers powerful ways to present your knowledge, experience and expertise, and to connect this to relevant help seekers, via membership of different Platforms.

1.4 Transaction Services. For Platform Operators, Providers and Recipients seeking to enter arrangements for the provision of legal services and products, we offer the Transaction Services described in Section D, below.

1.5 Interoperability Standards. As a platform infrastructure service provider, we also focus on gathering and maintaining essential business, legal and technical interoperability requirements necessary to ensure expected outcomes by all parties while encouraging wide latitude for individually agreed interactions and practices within the context of separate Platforms. We do not assume any liability for the content, products or services offered or purchased using the Platform Services. You will be required to register an account to use the Platform Services (see Registering an Account).

2. Your Roles

2.1 Participants

2.1.1 General Terms and Specific Terms. These General Terms apply to all Participants. Specific Terms relevant to each Participant role are described in Sections 2.2 to 2.5 below. You may conduct more than one Participant role under this Platform Services framework. In order to be a Participant, you must agree to this Agreement.

2.1.2 Adopting Roles. A Participant may adopt the role of Platform Operator, Manager, Recipient, Provider, Third Party Service, and any or all of these.

2.1.3 Verification. We make efforts to verify Participants, which may include using a third-party identity verification service. However, identification on the Internet is difficult. For these reasons, Legal.io cannot and does not represent, warrant or guarantee the truthfulness or accuracy of the credentials or identities of, and provided by, Participants. We encourage all Participants to research any other Participant before accepting any type of professional advice. Recipients may always request a written legal engagement agreement specifying the terms, scope, limitations, and conditions of the representation. Platform Operators representing trusted institutions may choose to represent the accuracy of credentials and identities of Participants on their Platform, and may require and manage certain standard legal engagement agreements to be offered as part of their own Platform Governance Rules (see Section C: Platform Governance Framework).

2.1.4 Connecting to a Platform. The Platform Services allow Platform Operators to help you administer your Account as it relates to their Platform(s) and provide platform governance frameworks and additional services directly to you or your customers. To permit Platform Operators to connect to your Account, you must apply to Platforms, and accept any supplemental Platform Governance Rules, before a Platform Operator will grant access to their Platform. By connecting your Account to a Platform you are authorizing us to permit the relevant Platform Operators to (a) access your Account as it relates to their Platform(s), (b) create charges and customers in your Account, and (c) deduct amounts (for example, fees and charges) from the amount that would otherwise be payable to you from transactions occurring in connection with the Platform Services ("Platform Fees"). Any Platform Fees will be separately agreed upon by you and the Platform Operator, and will be in addition to our fees, if any.

2.2 Platform Operators and Managers

2.2.1 Platform Operator Participants. You are a "Platform Operator" Participant if you have registered in accordance with Section A of this Agreement, and you have executed an Order (as defined below) to operate a Platform. Subject to the terms of the Order, as a Platform Operator, Legal.io grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable license, without the right to sublicense, to electronically access and use the Platform Services solely to operate a Platform for your Authorized Participants (as defined below) to (a) submit, receive and refer legal needs, (b) engage and manage a network of professionals to serve those needs, and/or (c) conduct and track transactions, using the Platform Services in a manner consistent with this Agreement and the documentation available to you on our Site or Application. This license includes use of the APIs, documentation, images, support pages, and any updates thereto provided to you by Legal.io. Where updates are subject to new or additional terms, we will update this Agreement or provide notice to you. We may terminate this license at any time if you use the Platform Services or Content, except as permitted by this Agreement.

2.2.2 Authorized Participants. Platform Services to operate a Platform are provided solely to the Platform Operator Participant stated in the Order. As a Platform Operator, you authorize additional Participants onto your Platform to receive and use Platform Services ("Authorized Participants") as Providers, Recipients and Managers, who have been supplied Participant identification and passwords by you (or by us at your request). Authorized Participants may include but are not limited to your employees, consultants, contractors, and agents, or your Affiliates.

2.2.3 Definition. An "Order" is a purchase order (incorporating the terms of this Agreement) executed between Legal.io and a Participant for Platform Services to support the operation of one or more Platforms by such Participant and its Authorized Participants.

2.2.4 Definition. "Affiliate" means any other entity which the first entity directly or indirectly Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with. "Control", for purposes of this definition, means direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 50% of the voting interests of the owned or controlled entity.

2.2.5 Ownership of Data. Subject to provisions in this Agreement relating to Content including rights granted to us to provide the Platform Services, Platform Operators retain all rights, title and interest in and to all Operator Data, and we shall not access the Operator Data except to respond to Platform Service related-, or technical-issues, or at your request. You acknowledge that each Authorized Participant, by using the Platform Services will become a separate party to this Agreement.

2.2.6 Definition. "Operator Data" means Content representing personally identifiable data uploaded by Platform Operators to the Platform they are operating that would typically be provided in the normal planning, execution and analysis of legal service delivery programs, as well as all information generated by a Platform Operator's Authorized Participants during use of the Platform.

2.2.7 Collection of Data. As a Platform Operator, you assume responsibility for all activities that occur in your Platform and for Authorized Participants' compliance with this Agreement. You shall comply with all local, state, federal or foreign law, treaty, regulation or convention applicable to you in connection with the use of the Platform, including without restriction, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (U.S.A.), the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) (Canada), the EU Data Protection Directive and other laws applicable to you related to privacy, publicity, data protection, electronic communications and anti-spamming laws. You are responsible for the collection, legality protection and use of Operator Data that is stored or used in connection with your Platform. Upon written request by a Platform Operator made within 30 days after the effective date of termination, we will provide you with temporary access to the Platform so that you can retrieve Operator Data. After such 30-day period, we shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any Operator Data.

2.2.8 Platform Governance Rules. As a Platform Operator, you have the option to establish custom platform governance rules applicable to Participants in your Platform(s) in order to manage the admission of, and the exchange of information and services between, your Authorized Participants and in relation to other matters to facilitate your business purposes as contemplated by this Agreement. You agree to comply with, and to ensure the compliance of your Authorized Participants with, this Agreement and the requirements set out in Section C of this Agreement (Platform Governance Framework).

2.2.9 Use Guidelines. As a Platform Operator, you shall use your Platform for your business purposes as contemplated by this Agreement, and in accordance with Section C of this Agreement (Platform Governance Framework), and shall not: (i) willfully tamper with the security of the systems comprising the Platform Services or tamper with other Platform Operator accounts of Legal.io, (ii) access data through the Platform Services not intended for you, (iii) log into a server or account as part of the Platform Services that you are not authorized to access, (iv) attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of any part of the Platform Services or to breach the security or authentication measures without proper authorization; (v) willfully render any part of the Platform Services unusable; (vi) lease, distribute, license, sell or otherwise commercially exploit the Platform Services or make the Platform available to a third party other than as contemplated in this Agreement; or (vii) use your Platform for timesharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise for the benefit of a third party; (viii) provide to third parties any evaluation version of the Platform Services without our prior written consent.

2.2.10 Manager Participants. You are a "Manager" Participant if you have registered in accordance with Section A of this Agreement as a Recipient or a Provider, and you have been given 'administrator' or 'manager' rights over a Platform, by the Platform Operator or by an existing Manager of such Platform.

2.2.11 Delegated Authority. As a Manager, you may be the Platform Operator, or you may have been delegated authority by such Platform Operator to manage their Platform, including: (i) helping Recipients to understand options and offering them assistance with navigation and guidance towards resources and expertise on their Platform; and (ii) inviting Providers to join their Platform and assessing their applications to join against the admission criteria laid out in their Platform Governance Rules.

2.2.12 Manager Dashboard. As a Manager, your Platform Services include access to a manager's dashboard to allow you to more easily manage and track the flow of Requests, Introductions, Proposals and other outcomes relevant to the Platform you are managing.

2.2.13 Manager as Provider. Subject to Platform Governance Rules, as a Manager, you may also refer Requests to yourself, as a Provider, in order to offer assistance directly to the Recipient in your role as a Provider.

2.3 Recipients

2.3.1 Recipient Participants. You are a "Recipient" Participant if you have registered in accordance with Section A of this Agreement, and you: a) submit a help request to solicit Providers for useful information and/or legal services (a "Request"); or b) give another Participant permission to submit a Request.

2.3.2 No Attorney-Client Relationship with Legal.io. As a Recipient, your Platform Services include access to a recipient's dashboard to allow you to more easily manage and track the flow of Requests, Introductions (as defined below), Proposals (as defined below) and other outcomes relevant to your legal needs, including as relating to each Platform you are a member of. Legal.io is not a law firm, and our employees are not acting as your attorney. Legal.io does not give legal advice nor do we offer legal services. By using the Platform Services, no attorney-client relationship will be created between you and Legal.io. The Platform Services and Content are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. Any communications via the Platform Services may not be held confidential (See attorney-client relationship).

2.3.3 Discuss Confidential Information only with your Lawyer. You may be offered services, products, and promotions provided by or be presented links to websites operated by Providers or Platform Operators that utilize, integrate, or provide services related to the Platform Services. If you decide to use these services, you will be responsible for reviewing and understanding the terms and conditions (including Platform Governance Rules) associated with these services. You agree that we are not responsible for the performance of any such services provided by Providers or Platform Operators. As a Recipient, information you enter into a Platform as a Request will be available for Providers to view, subject to the applicable Platform Governance Rules. As a Recipient, your contact information will remain private from Providers until you grant Authorization. Subject to applicable Platform Governance Rules, you may grant Authorization for Providers to view your personal data before or after the Request is entered. Providers may offer their services to you in response to your Request. You should not submit confidential information to any Platform. By choosing to do so, Recipients acknowledge that there is no duty on any Provider to keep that information confidential or forego representation adverse to a Recipient's interests. We take every reasonable effort to ensure the privacy of Requests and other personal messages on the Platform Services, but cannot guarantee confidentiality. Recipients should only discuss confidential information directly with a lawyer who has determined he or she has no conflict of interest and assures the Recipient's confidentiality.

2.3.4 Content is not Legal Advice. You acknowledge that information included by a Provider in response to a Request is not a substitute for an in-person or telephone consultation with a lawyer licensed to practice in your jurisdiction about your specific legal issue, and you acknowledge that any Content made available through the Platform Services is not legal advice, does not create an attorney-client relationship (unless expressly stated otherwise) and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. Because the law changes rapidly, we cannot guarantee that all the information made available through the Platform Services is completely current. The law is different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and is also subject to interpretation by different courts. If your specific problem is too complex to be addressed by information available through the Platform Services, consult a licensed attorney in your area.

2.3.5 Links to Other Resources. Links to other resources and businesses on the Internet may be made available through the Platform Services. Those links are provided as citations and aids to help you identify and locate other Internet resources that may be of interest, and are not intended to state or imply that Legal.io sponsors, is affiliated or associated with, or is legally authorized to use any trade name, registered trademark, logo, legal or official seal, or copyrighted symbol that may be reflected in the links.

2.3.6 Formally Engaging Legal Help. You acknowledge that your use of the Platform Services alone does not create an attorney-client relationship. No attorney-client relationship can be formed until a consultation takes place with the Provider. If the Provider determines there is a conflict of interest, that Provider will be unable to represent you. Any Provider may also decline to provide representation for any other reason. Attorney-client privilege is a set of rules governing lawyers designed to encourage full and frank communication between a client and his or her lawyer. It applies to communications with a lawyer where a client is seeking legal advice. By using the Platform Services to find and connect to a lawyer, you are agreeing that communications over the Platform Services will not be protected by this privilege. Platforms accessed through the Platform Services help to connect you with lawyers so you can have private, confidential consultations -- attorney-client privilege may apply to these consultations. To be sure that attorney-client privilege applies, you should sign a formal engagement agreement with a lawyer. You may form an attorney-client relationship with Providers through use of the Platform Services. You may negotiate any Proposals sent by Providers prior to such engagement. For communications requiring confidentiality, you should conduct these outside the Platform Services, such as via telephone, secure video-conference, or in-person. Upon acceptance of a Proposal, the scope of the work which a Provider is engaged to work on is strictly limited to the matter agreed upon during the negotiations. We do not provide legal services to Participants on our own behalf, and we have no obligations to any Participant in connection with attorney-client privilege.

2.3.7 Not a Lawyer Referral Service. Legal.io is not a lawyer referral service. We provide Platform Services for other organizations. We do not endorse or approve any Platform Operators and Providers using the Platform Services. You retain control around your choice of Provider. Before hiring a lawyer, always carefully consider the lawyer's knowledge and experience and obtain an engagement letter detailing the terms and conditions of the representation, including all fees, expenses and other obligations. Platform Operators may choose to require and recommend standard engagement letters for Providers offering services through their Platforms, in accordance with Section C (Platform Governance Framework).

2.3.8 No Responsibility for Other Participants. Reviews, price quotes, proposals, profiles or any other Content obtained through the Platform Services do not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of any future legal matter. We assume no responsibility or liability for the actions or omissions of any Operator, Manager, Provider or other Participant, nor for any Participant's compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations, nor for the content, products or services offered or purchased on or through the Platform Services. Unless expressly stated otherwise by a Participant, any use or reliance on any such content, products or services is solely at your own risk.

2.4 Provider

2.4.1 Provider Participants. You are a "Provider" Participant if you have registered in accordance with Section A of this Agreement as a provider of legal information or services. Providers may be one or more of several categories of providers of legal services and information (including limited contracting or consulting work) to Participants.

2.4.2 Provider Dashboard. As a Provider, your Platform Services include access to a provider's dashboard to allow you to more easily manage and track the flow of Requests, Introductions, Proposals and other outcomes relevant to your business, including as relating to each Platform you are a member of.

2.4.3 Introductions. As a Provider, you may offer and be asked to offer your help with a Request. Subject to applicable Platform Governance Rules, you may: (i) have access to view list(s) of open Requests on one or more Platforms that you may have been admitted to, and you may offer help with any such Requests; or (ii) have been asked to offer your help with a specific Request. If a Recipient has already granted Authorization with regard to a particular Request, a Provider may choose to connect with the Recipient in relation to such Request (an "Introduction"). If a Recipient has not already granted Authorization with regard to a particular Request, your offer of help will be treated as a request for Authorization and the Recipient may choose to connect with you for an Introduction. Following any Introductions, by accessing Transaction Services (see Section D) you may offer further helpful information, consultations and service proposals in response to such Requests in accordance with applicable Platform Governance Rules.

2.4.4 Professional Rules of Conduct. You may receive referrals through the Platform Services, including from another Provider, or from a Manager who has been appointed by a Platform Operator. To the extent you are separately bound by professional rules of conduct in the jurisdiction(s) you operate in, you understand and agree to receive and act on such referrals, and to otherwise use the Platform Services, only in a manner aligned with your independent obligations under such professional rules of conduct.

2.5 Third Party Service

You are a "Third Party Service" Participant if you operate and provide Third Party Services approved for use with the Platform Services and in accordance with this Agreement. Only Third Party Services that have been approved by us and have contractually assented to a Third Party Service Agreement and this Agreement are eligible to be Participants on the Platform Services. Only an approved Third Party Service Participant is eligible to receive the tokens necessary to use a grant of Authorization by a Participant or otherwise to use an approved scope and grant for access of any kind to data or other resources within or through the Platform Services.

3. Participant Conduct

3.1 Compliance with Applicable Laws. As a condition of use, you promise not to use the Platform Services for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by this Agreement, nor to infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of any third party, nor any other purpose not reasonably intended by us. You promise to use the Platform Services in compliance with all local, state, federal, and international laws, rules, and regulations.

3.2 Investigating Complaints and Examples of Violations. Legal.io reserves the right to investigate complaints or reported violations of this Agreement and to take any action deemed appropriate including but not limited to reporting any suspected unlawful activity to law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties and disclosing any information necessary or appropriate to such persons or entities relating to Participant profiles, e-mail addresses, usage history, posted materials, IP addresses, and traffic information. By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree not to use the Platform Services:

1. To impersonate, abuse, harass, threaten or intimidate any person;
2. To post or transmit, or cause to be posted or transmitted, any Content that is libellous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, offensive, profane, discriminatory, or otherwise victimizes or intimidates an individual or group on the basis of religion, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, age, or disability, or that infringes any copyright or other right of any person;
3. To post or transmit, or cause to be posted or transmitted, any communication or solicitation designed or intended to obtain password, account, or private information from any Participant;
4. To create or transmit unwanted 'spam' to any person or any URL;

6. To create multiple accounts for the purpose of voting for or against Content;
7. To post or transmit Content that infringes on any proprietary right of any party, including patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, or other rights;
8. To artificially inflate or alter vote or view counts, comments, or any other Platform Services or for the purpose of giving or receiving money or other compensation in exchange for votes, or for participating in any other organized effort that in any way artificially alters the results of Platform Services.

3.3 Scraping, Spiders and Unauthorized Copies. You agree not to scrape (including crawlers, browser plugins and add-ons, and any other technology or manual work), decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, rent, lease, loan, sell, sublicense, or create derivative works from the Platform Services except to the extent explicitly permitted in this Agreement. You may not use any network monitoring or discovery software to extract information about usage, individual identities, or Participants. With the exception of accessing RSS feeds or documented API's, you will not use any robot, spider, scraper or other manual or automated process to monitor or copy the Platform Services without our express written permission. You may not copy, modify, reproduce, republish, distribute, display, or transmit for commercial, nonprofit or public purposes all or any portion of the Platform Services or Content, except to the extent explicitly permitted above. You may not use or otherwise export or re-export the Platform Services, Content or any portion thereof in violation of the export control laws and regulations of the United States of America.

3.4 Unreasonable Infrastructure Loads. You agree that you will not: (i) take any action that imposes, or may impose in our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (ii) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Platform Services; or (iii) bypass any measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Platform Services.

3.5 Reporting Abuse. To report a suspected abuse of the Platform Services or a breach of this Agreement (other than relating to copyright infringement which is addressed in the "Copyright Complaints" section below) please send written notice to us by email: help@legal.io

3.6. Your Responsibility for Your Interactions. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Participants. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Participants.

4. Your Data Security Obligations

You are fully responsible for the security of data on your site, or available through your use of the Platform Services, or otherwise in your possession. You agree to comply with all applicable state and federal laws and rules in connection with your collection, security and dissemination of any personal, financial, or transaction information ("Participant Data") on your site, or available through your use of the Platform Services. While we help to make compliance easier, you are solely responsible for compliance with any laws, regulations, or rules applicable to your business.

5. Security and Fraud Controls

We are responsible for protecting the security of Participant Data in our possession and will maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical procedures to protect all the personal information regarding you and your customers that is stored in our servers from unauthorized access and accidental loss or modification. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use such personal information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide this personal information regarding you and your customers at your own risk. We recommend you review our Privacy Policy, which will help you understand how we collect, use and safeguard the information you provide to us.

Section C: Platform Governance Framework

1. Platform Governance Requirements

This Section C sets forth the rules framework for participation in the Platform Services via Platforms run and operated by Platform Operators (the "Platform Governance Framework"). This Platform Governance Framework is intended to support an ecosystem of diverse Platforms operated using the Platform Services by providing a flexible framework of rights and obligations by and between Authorized Participants who are involved in the provision of, sale, distribution, licensing, or use of a legal related product or service.

1.1 Platform Operator Services Operator Participants will operate Platforms, authorize access to the Platform Services, and provide services related to the Platform Services to other Participants on their Platform ("Platform Operator Services"). Platform Operators will apply platform governance rules, which govern rights and obligations between the Platform Operator and their Authorized Participants on their Platform(s), including without limitation in relation to admission and eligibility requirements, platform fees and general expectations and operations for each Platform ("Platform Governance Rules"). Platform Governance Rules may set standards for Separate Commercial Arrangements formed through the Platform Operator Services, provided that such agreement does not conflict with this Platform Governance Framework. "Separate Commercial Agreement" means any contractual relationship between Participants by which they are involved in the provision of, sale, distribution, licensing, or use of a legal related product or service (e.g. an engagement agreement between a Provider and a Recipient).

1.2 Establishing and Amending Platform Governance Rules. Platform Operator, in authorizing access to their Platform(s), agrees to provide for Platform Governance Rules in compliance with this Platform Governance Framework. Platform Operators may use a set of the template terms and conditions provided by Legal.io as their Platform Governance Rules, or may set their own, subject to the approval of Legal.io. Platform Operators may amend Platform Governance Rules as part of any Order, or at any time thereafter with the written consent of Legal.io, subject to notice of such amendment to the Authorized Participants in accordance with Section B(9) of this Agreement.

1.3 Acceptance of Platform Governance Rules. By accessing the Platform Services via the Platform of a particular Platform Operator each Authorized Participant acknowledges and agrees:

• to the terms of this Agreement, in particular in relation to the role(s) they will conduct as defined in Section B(2) of this Agreement;
• to the terms of applicable Platform Governance Rules; and
• to use the Platform Services and Platform Operator Services solely to (a) seek legal help and submit legal needs, (b) respond to and serve those needs, and/or (c) conduct and track transactions, using the Platform Services in a manner consistent with this Agreement and the documentation available to you on our Site or Application.

1.4 Order of Precedence. With regard to any rights and obligations between a Platform Operator and their Authorized Participants, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and their Platform Governance Rules, their Platform Governance Rules shall govern in all respects. With regard to any rights and obligations between the Authorized Participants, in the event of a conflict between the Platform Governance and any Separate Commercial Agreement, the Separate Commercial Agreement shall govern in all respects. With regard to any rights and obligations between: 1) the Platform Operator and/or their Authorized Participants; and 2) Legal.io and/or other Participants in the Platform Services, in the event of a conflict between the Platform Governance Rules and the terms of this Agreement (including this Platform Governance Framework), this Agreement shall govern in all respects.

Section D: Transaction Services

1. Enrolling in Transaction Services

1.1 Transaction Services Account. The terms in this Section D apply to you if you initiate a purchase and/or sale of products or services through the Platform Services ("Transaction Services"), at which point your Account will be upgraded to include functionality for transactions (a "Transaction Services Account"). Your Platform Operator may require you to enroll in the Legal.io Transaction Services as a precondition of participation in their Platform.

1.2 Processing Payments. Except for our limited role in processing payments that you authorize or initiate, we are not involved in any underlying transaction between you and any other Participant enrolled in the Transaction Services. We are not a bank and do not offer banking services. We may use the services of one or more third parties to provide some or all of the Transaction Services and to process your transactions (each a "Processor"). We do not guarantee payment on behalf of any Participant. We are not a selling agent in connection with any sale or purchase by you of goods or services to any person. We have no control over the quality, fitness, safety, reliability, legality, or any other aspect of any good or service that you may purchase or sell using the Transaction Services or any Third Party Service that you may use to access the Transaction Services.

2.7 Resolving Claims.When you provide products or services using our Transaction Services, you will cooperate with us to resolve Claims or complaints submitted through our dispute programs. You will respond to our inquiries and deliver to us any information requested by us regarding any disputed sales transactions within 5 business days of our request. If the Claim is not caused by Card fraud for which we are responsible under this Agreement or our failure to make the applicable transaction information available as it was received by us, or if you fail to comply with the immediately preceding sentence, then you owe us the amount of the customer purchase (including without limitation the purchase price, all associated shipping and handling charges and all taxes) and all Card Network, bank or other payment processing, re-presentment and other fees associated with the original purchase and any Chargeback or refund.

You acknowledge and agree that the Provider and/or Platform Operator, not Legal.io, are solely responsible for honoring any confirmed Engagements. You acknowledge and agree that you, and not Legal.io, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any such engagement agreement between you and such other Participants, that Legal.io is not a party to such agreements, and that, with the exception of its payment obligations hereunder, Legal.io disclaims all liability arising from or related to any such agreements.

Upon your payment to Legal.io, your payment obligation to the Provider or Platform Operator for Charges is extinguished, and Legal.io is responsible for remitting the Charges less any Platform Fees and Administrative Fee in the manner described in this Agreement. You as a Recipient agree to pay Legal.io the Charges for any Engagements in connection with your Account if a Proposal is made through the Platform Services by the applicable Provider or Platform Operator.

4. Account Balances

If you are a permanent U.S. resident (which does not include holders of U.S. visas), a U.S. citizen, or a business entity authorized to do business and having a physical presence in the United States, you may hold monetary balances in your Account (your "Balance") subject to the terms of this Agreement. You are not required to maintain a Balance to use the Transaction Services. When you carry a Balance, you appoint us as your agent with respect to your Balance. Your Balance is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Prior to disbursing funds to you, we may combine your Balance with the funds of other users of the Platform Services (or of similar services we offer), or use them for other purposes permitted by applicable laws. You will not receive interest or any other earnings on your Balance. To the extent required by applicable laws, we will not use any funds held on your behalf for our corporate purposes, will not voluntarily make such funds available to our creditors in the event of bankruptcy or for any other purpose, and will not knowingly permit our creditors to attach your Balance.

5. Account Limits; Availability of Funds.

Your Account may be subject to certain limits, which may affect your ability to make or receive payments or to withdraw funds. Any limits may be modified at any time. These limits may be affected by several factors, including without limitation our assessment of the risk associated with your Account, the amount of pending or potential Chargebacks, the information you provide, our ability to verify your account information, and requirements of law. In addition to account limits, we may restrict transactions to or from your Account or limit access to funds in your Account in an amount and for a period of time we deem necessary to protect us or other users including without limitation if (a) we are subject to financial risk, (b) you have violated any term of this Agreement, (c) you have pending Chargebacks or we believe you may have Chargebacks, (d) any dispute exists involving your Account or transaction conducted in connection with your Account, (e) needed to protect the security of our systems, or (f) required by law or court order or if otherwise requested by law enforcement or any governmental entity.

6. Charges and Fees

6.1 Charges for Services. You understand that use of the Transaction Services may result in charges to you for the services or products you receive, including in relation to Platform Fees charged by Platform Operators, payment processing fees (see the Legal.io Payments Terms of Service and charges for services performed by another Participant ("Charges"). After you have received services or products obtained through your use of the Transaction Services, you agree that we may facilitate your payment of the applicable Charges, including to any relevant Participant(s). Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Participant. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by us, required by law, or required by the ethical rules governing the legal profession.

6.2 Charging Process. All Charges are due immediately on the date agreed to by Participants and payment will be facilitated using the preferred payment method designated in the Proposal or in your Account. In connection with Charges, you will be asked to provide customary billing information such as name, billing address, credit card information, and ACH payment details either to Legal.io or its Processors. You agree to pay Legal.io for any confirmed Charges made in connection with your Account in accordance with this Agreement. You hereby authorize the collection of such amounts by charging the credit card, ACH account, or other payment method provided on your Account, either directly by Legal.io or indirectly, via a Processor, or by one of the payment methods described on the Platform Services. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that we may, as the Participant's limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method on file in your Account, if available.

6.3 Administrative Fees. You acknowledge and agree to pay to Legal.io the Charges specified in any Order or Policies relating to fees for use of the Platform Services, including for administrative services and access to the Transaction Services (the "Administrative Fee"). The amount of the applicable Administrative Fee will be communicated to you in writing, but is subject to change on a prospective basis at the discretion of Legal.io. This Administrative Fee, if any, is separate and distinct from all Charges relating to legal fees which Participants may agree to through use of the Platform Services.

6.4 Independent Professional Judgment and Compliance with Professional Rules of Conduct. You agree and acknowledge that in providing the Platform Services in exchange for certain Administrative Fees, we are not in any way affecting or hindering any Provider Participant's independent professional judgement. In addition, the Platform Services are designed to help individuals and organizations deliver legal services more efficiently, and Participants are prohibited from using the Platform Services in any way that leads to an unreasonable increase in any Recipient's legal fees.

6.5 Appointment of Legal.io as Limited Payment Collection Agent for Participants. Each Participant hereby appoints Legal.io as their limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of accepting payments on your behalf from Participants that authorize payments directly to you or to third-party services through the Transaction Services for products or services performed or received. Each Participant agrees that payment made by another Participant through the Platform Services shall be considered the same as a payment made directly to the Participant, and the Participant will render services to the appropriate Participant in the agreed-upon manner as if that Participant has received the payment directly. Each Participant understands that as we accept payments from other Participants as the Participant's limited payment collection agent and that our obligation to pay you is subject to and conditional upon successful receipt of the associated payments from the other Participants, we do not guarantee payments to Participants for amounts that have not been successfully received by us from other Participants. In accepting appointment as the limited payment collection agent of a Participant, Legal.io assumes no liability for any acts or omissions of the Participants.

6.6 Payment Authorization Charges. In order to transact through the Transaction Services, you understand and agree that we, on behalf of Providers or Platform Operators, reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to (i) obtain a pre-authorization via your credit card for the Charges or (ii) charge your credit card a nominal amount, not to exceed one dollar ($1), or a similar sum in the currency in which you are transacting, to verify your credit card. Please note that we cannot control any fees that may be charged to a Participant by his or her bank related to our collection of the Charges, and Legal.io disclaims all liability in this regard.

6.7 Promotions. We retain the right to initiate special incentive pricing, membership, and other programs. These may be limited, at our sole discretion, to defined and limited Participants or non-Participants. Any promotional monies or credits placed into Accounts by Legal.io for use towards Platform Services remain the property of Legal.io (they never become the property of Participants and never become refundable to the Participant), and unless otherwise agreed, will be usable only for ninety (90) days.

6.8 Fee Avoidance. Any action by a Participant to avoid paying any Charges is considered fee avoidance and is strictly prohibited by Legal.io. This includes, for example, encouraging other Participants to take transactions off the Platform Services.

6.9 Suspicious activity. If Legal.io believes, in its sole discretion, that any funds earned through use of the Platform Service were earned under suspicious circumstances or that funds were derived from a suspect account, Legal.io retains the right to continue to investigate the situation until an adequate resolution has been reached, as determined by us, and which may require the involvement of certain third parties, including any applicable Card Network. Legal.io will make commercially reasonable efforts not to exceed a ninety-day (90) hold on your account as we and/or a third-party investigate.
