Date of Last Revision: October 1, 2021
Welcome to JurisQ.
JurisQ’s products and services are provided by Alpha Marketing of NY Corp.. These
terms and conditions of use (“Terms”) govern your use of JurisQ’s websites, mobile
applications, products, and services (collectively, the “Services”, so please read them
carefully.
By accessing this website or using the Services, you are agreeing to the Terms and
JurisQ’s Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, please contact us.
1. Using our services
You may use our Services only if you can form a binding contract with JurisQ. No use of
the Services is permitted by those under the age of majority in their state of residence. In
no event is use of the Services permitted by those under the age of 13. If you are using
the Services on behalf of any entity, then you are agreeing to the Terms on behalf of that
entity.
Using our Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our
Services or the content you access. Except in the context of browsing or accessing our
Services in accordance with these Terms, you may not use content from our Services
unless you obtain permission from its owner or are otherwise permitted by law. These
Terms do not grant you the right to use any branding or logos used in our Services. Do
not remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with our Services.
Do not use our Services on any mobile device in a way that distracts you and prevents
you from obeying traffic or safety laws.
We may release and make available beta products, services, and features (collectively,
“Beta Services”) for a limited period of time (the “Beta Test”). Beta Services have not
been completely tested, are not ready for commercial release, and may contain bugs,
errors, defects, and deficiencies. We reserve the right to withdraw the Beta Services
during the Beta Test. We do not guarantee that the Beta Services will be made
commercially available or that any commercially available version of the Beta Services
will contain the same functionality as the version made available during the Beta Test.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, JurisQ AND ITS AFFILIATES,
SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THE BETA SERVICES.
2. Information on the services
Our Services display both JurisQ-created content and content that is not created or
developed by JurisQ (the “Legal Information”). We may review third party-content to
determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies, and we may remove or refuse to
display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. But we do not
routinely screen third-party content that is published via our Services. This includes the
Legal Information that lawyers post on JurisQ, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy,
adequacy or quality of any such Legal Information, or the qualifications of those posting
it.
3. No formation of an attorney-client relationship
The Legal Information found on JurisQ is intended for general informational purposes
only and should be used only as a starting point for addressing your legal issues. The
Legal Information is not the provision of legal services, and accessing such information,
or corresponding with or asking questions to a lawyer via the Services, or otherwise using
the Services, does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and JurisQ, or
you and any lawyer. It is not a substitute for an in-person or telephonic consultation with
a lawyer licensed to practice in your jurisdiction about your specific legal issue, and you
should not rely on such Legal Information. You understand that questions and answers or
other postings to the Services are not confidential and are not subject to attorney-client
privilege.
4. Interactions between lawyers and consumers
JurisQ is a platform where lawyers unaffiliated with JurisQ can offer information and
interact with consumers. Any attorney-client relationship formed as a result of
interactions between a lawyer and consumer on JurisQ is between the consumer and the
lawyer—not between JurisQ and the consumer. JurisQ cannot be held responsible for the
quality or accuracy of any information or legal services provided by lawyers that
consumers found via JurisQ. JurisQ is not a lawyer referral service.
6. Premium services for lawyers
JurisQ offers optional subscription services for lawyers, including, ( the “Premium
Services”). By selecting a Premium Service you agree to pay JurisQ the subscription or
usage fees (the “Subscription Fees”) indicated for that service. You further agree to
provide JurisQ with a valid payment method, which JurisQ will store and from which
JurisQ will automatically charge Subscription Fees as they become due. Subscription
Fees will be charged on the day your Premium Service goes into effect and will cover the
use of that service for the period indicated. Thereafter, you agree that monthly payments
will continue to be charged to your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel
your Premium Service. The amount of the monthly recurring charge will be the then-
current Subscription Fee applicable to the Premium Service you selected. You
acknowledge that the amount of the recurring charge may increase if the applicable
Subscription Fee increases. JurisQ will collect and remit sales tax where required by state
laws, based on the Premium Services and your primary office location.
Premium Services, must be cancelled prior to the applicable renewal date in order to
avoid billing of the next month’s Subscription Fee. All cancellations or reductions of
advertising services must be received in writing by email (info@JurisQ.com) or by
U.S. mail (Juris Q, 132 Norfolk Street, Brooklyn, NY 11235 ATTN: Cancellations).
Subscription Fees for Premium Services are not prorated or refundable. In no event will a
cancellation or reduction in service relieve you of your obligation to pay the Subscription
Fees that are due for the period prior to the effective date of cancellation or reduction in
service.
If your payment method fails or your account is past due, JurisQ reserves the right to
either suspend or terminate your Premium Services. Any such suspension or termination
will result in the cancellation of any promotional programs applicable to your Premium
Services. You agree to submit any disputes regarding any charge to your account in
writing to JurisQ within sixty (60) days of such charge, otherwise such dispute will be
waived and such charge will be final and not subject to challenge.
Premium Services may include the publication of advertising or website content you
provide to us (the “Premium Services Content”). You retain all rights in, and are solely
responsible for, the Premium Services Content posted on JurisQ or websites supported by
JurisQ. You give JurisQ, our affiliates, providers of third party services, and
subcontractors a non-exclusive, fully-paid, perpetual, royalty-free, transferable,
revocable, worldwide license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display,
reproduce, and distribute the Premium Services Content (in whole or in part) in
providing the Services.
7. Legal advertising and communications
It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information or
advertisements they post or place on the JurisQ website (including without limitation any
Legal Information), and any communications they may have with prospective clients
through the Services, fully complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional
conduct, including those concerning the unauthorized practice of law and those regulating
the form, manner or content of communications with clients, advertising, or other
matters.
8. Copyright

9. Software
Some of our Services allow you to download client software (“Software”) which may
update automatically; you agree that these Terms will apply to such upgrades. So long as
you comply with these Terms, we give you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable,
revocable license to use the Software, solely to access the Services. To the extent any
component of the Software may be offered under an open source license, we will make
that license available to you and the provisions of that license may expressly override

doing so.
10. Disclaimers and acknowledgements regarding use of legal information

regarding lawyers and legal services, there are some things that we cannot guarantee.

THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, BE LIABLE FOR
ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF

SERVICES TO WHICH SUCH CLAIM RELATES IN THE 12 MONTH PERIOD
PRECEDING THE FILING OF SUCH CLAIM. IN THE INTEREST OF CLARITY,
THIS LIMITATION ALSO APPLIES TO PREMIUM SERVICES.
12. User posted content and other interactive services or areas
JurisQ includes interactive areas in which you may post content and information,
including peer endorsements and user reviews, questions and answers, comments, photos,
and other materials (the “User Content”). You retain all rights in, and are solely
responsible for, the User Content you post to JurisQ. You are also solely responsible for
your use of such interactive features, and use them at your own risk. By using any
interactive feature, you agree to comply with the JurisQ Community Guidelines. We
reserve the right to remove or modify User Content for any reason, including User
Content that we believe violates these Terms or our policies.
When you post User Content to JurisQ, you give JurisQ and its affiliates a nonexclusive,
royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce,
modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and
display such User Content throughout the world in any media. To the extent such content
is attached to a profile on the JurisQ platform, the foregoing license includes a right to
reproduce your profile, and any name, likeness or photograph contained in such profile. If
you submit feedback or suggestions about our Services, we may use your feedback or
suggestions without obligation to you.
13. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless JurisQ, its corporate affiliates,
independent contractors, service providers and consultants, and each of their respective
directors, employees and agents, from and against any claims, damages, costs, liabilities
and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’s fees) arising out of or
related to any User Content you post, store or otherwise transmit on or through the
Services or your use of or inability to use the Services, including without limitation any
actual or threatened suit, demand or claim arising out of or relating to the User Content,
your conduct, your violation of these Terms or your violation of the rights of any third
party.
14. Modifications
JurisQ may revise these Terms from time to time, on a prospective basis, and we will
always post the most up-to-date version on our website. If we determine, in our sole
discretion, that a modification to these Terms materially affects your rights, we will
notify you (by, for example, sending a message to your account email). By using or
continuing to use or access the Services after any revisions have come into effect, you
agree to be bound by the revised Terms.
15. Mandatory Arbitration and Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
We hope we never have a dispute, but if we do, you and we agree to try for 60 days to
resolve it informally. You may send us the details of your concern
to legal@JurisQ.com. However, if JurisQ is not able to informally resolve your
complaint, you and JurisQ agree to individual binding arbitration under JAMS
Alternative Dispute resolution (“JAMS”) and the Federal Arbitration Act
(“FAA”), and not to sue in court in front of a judge or jury. The arbitration will be
conducted under the JAMS Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes and the arbitrator’s decision will be final
except for a limited right of review under the FAA. The following applies to any
arbitration proceedings between you and JurisQ:
Before moving an unresolved informal dispute into arbitration, you must first send us a
Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and the specific
relief sought. This notice may be sent via email or U.S. mail to: legal@JurisQ.com or 132
Norfolk Street, Brooklyn, NY 11235.
Any arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with JAMS within
ONE (1) YEAR from when it first could be filed. Otherwise, it is permanently barred. If
applicable law prohibits a one-year limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must
be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.
Whenever feasible, the arbitration will be held telephonically unless the arbitrator finds
good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. You may choose the location of any in-
person hearing from either your county of residence; or, if you are a business, the county
of your principal place of business; or, JurisQ’s principal place of business in Kings
County, NY.
The enforcement of the arbitrator’s award will be controlled by and conducted in
conformity with the FAA. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court holding
jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding our agreement to arbitrate disputes as provided above, the
following EXCEPTIONS will apply to the resolution of disputes between us:
Small Claims Court. If the claim qualifies, either you or JurisQ may bring an action in
small claims court in Kings County, NY. Any small claims court action must be filed
within one year from when it first could be filed. Otherwise, the claim is permanently
barred.
Injunctive relief. JurisQ may bring a lawsuit against you in any court of competent
jurisdiction solely for injunctive relief to stop any unauthorized use or abuse of the
Services, or any intellectual property infringement. In these instances, JurisQ may
seek injunctive relief without first engaging in the informal dispute resolution or
arbitration process, as described above in these Terms of Use.
Disputes not Covered by Arbitration. In the event that arbitration is found to be
inapplicable or unenforceable for any reason, or if you exercise the option to opt-out of
arbitration as provided below, the claim at issue will be brought under judicial
proceedings in federal or state courts in Kings County, NY, and you and JurisQ consent
to personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue in such courts.
Option to Opt Out of Arbitration. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If
you do so, neither you nor JurisQ can require the other to participate in an arbitration
proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you
first became subject to the arbitration provision in these Terms. To opt out you must send
us a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration, along with your name,
residence or business address, and the email address associated with your account
to: Info@JurisQ.com.
NO CLASS ACTIONS: You may only bring individual claims. Under no
circumstances are you allowed to bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a
class. Class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions,
and any other proceedings where someone acts in a representative capacity are not
allowed. Any combining of individual proceedings must have the consent of all
parties.
16. Applicable law
The laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflict of law provisions, will apply to
any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services.
17. Termination
Notwithstanding any of these Terms, JurisQ reserves the right, without notice and in its
sole discretion, to terminate your license to use the Services, and to block or prevent your
access to and use of the Services. JurisQ reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for
any reason at any time. In the event of termination of access to the Services for any
reason, you have no right to obtain a copy of any data or communications you stored or
effected via the Services, or any other data.
18. Entire agreement
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and JurisQ with respect to the
subject matter of these Terms, and supersede and replace any prior version of the Terms.
These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights.
19. Waiver, severability, and assignment
JurisQ’s failure to enforce a provision of these Terms is not a waiver of its right to do so
later. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions of
the Terms will remain in full effect and an enforceable Term or Terms will be substituted
reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights under
these Terms, and any attempt to do so will be void. JurisQ may assign its rights to any of
its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with
the Services.
