  • Actions or omissions of third parties (courts, opposing parties, process servers)

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability for certain damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.

Arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding. You waive the right to a jury trial or to participate in class actions.

Venue: Any litigation not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

If you dispute a charge with your credit card company without first contacting us:

  • Your account will be suspended pending chargeback resolution
  • We will provide evidence of services rendered to your card issuer
  • Frivolous or fraudulent chargebacks may result in account termination and collection efforts
  • Chargeback fees may be passed on to you if reversed in our favor

Please contact us first at support@lawzuit.com before filing a chargeback. We are committed to resolving billing disputes fairly.

  • Violation of these Terms
  • Fraudulent or illegal activity
  • Non-payment of fees
  • Abuse of the Service or other users

Upon termination, your right to use the Service immediately ceases. Provisions that by their nature should survive (payment obligations, warranties, indemnification, limitation of liability) will continue after termination.

14. CHANGES TO TERMS

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to our website. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Material changes will be highlighted on this page for 30 days. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

15. MISCELLANEOUS

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Lawzuit.

Severability: If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision does not waive our right to enforce it later.

Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them without restriction.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries: These Terms do not create rights for any third parties.
