Lawyered Terms of Use

Version 1.0 — Last Revised: July 3, 2026

The website located at trylawyered.com, together with any related mobile applications, features, tools, and services offered by us (collectively, the “Platform”), is owned and operated by Lawyered, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Lawyered,” “Company,” “us,” “our,” or “we”). Certain features of the Platform may be subject to additional guidelines, rules, or agreements posted on the Platform, which are incorporated by reference into these Terms.

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Platform. By accessing or using the Platform, or by clicking “I agree” (or a similar button or checkbox) when that option is presented to you, you agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent, and you confirm that you have the authority to do so. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Platform.

1. The Lawyered Platform; Important Disclaimers

1.1 What Lawyered Does. Lawyered operates a technology platform and online marketplace that connects individuals and businesses seeking legal services (“Clients”) with independent, licensed attorneys (“Attorneys”), and that provides participating Attorneys with tools for marketing, client communication, and billing. Clients and Attorneys are collectively referred to as “users.”

1.2 Lawyered Is Not a Law Firm. LAWYERED DOES NOT PRACTICE LAW, DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE OR LEGAL REPRESENTATION, AND IS NOT A LAW FIRM OR A LAWYER REFERRAL SERVICE. No content on the Platform, including practice-area descriptions, articles, FAQs, intake questionnaires, matching results, or automated suggestions, constitutes legal advice. Content on the Platform is provided for general informational purposes only and may not reflect current legal developments or the law of your jurisdiction. You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of any content on the Platform without seeking advice from a licensed attorney.

1.3 No Attorney-Client Relationship with Lawyered. Your use of the Platform does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Lawyered. Any attorney-client relationship that may arise from your use of the Platform is solely between you and the Attorney you engage, and is formed only when you and that Attorney agree to the engagement in accordance with applicable professional rules (typically through a signed engagement or retainer agreement). Lawyered is not a party to any such relationship or to any agreement between a Client and an Attorney.

1.4 No Endorsement, Recommendation, or Guarantee of Attorneys. The Platform allows Clients to identify Attorneys based on criteria the Client provides, such as location, practice area, language, and pricing preferences. Matching results, profile placement, and other Platform features are administrative and informational tools only. They are not, and should not be interpreted as, an endorsement, recommendation, referral, or certification of any Attorney, or a statement about any Attorney’s qualifications, competence, or character. You are solely responsible for evaluating and selecting any Attorney, and we encourage you to conduct your own due diligence, including confirming an Attorney’s license status with the relevant state bar or court system, before engaging any Attorney.

1.5 Attorney Information and Verification. Attorneys supply the information in their own profiles, including licensure, practice areas, experience, languages, and pricing information. While Lawyered may take steps to confirm an Attorney’s bar admission at registration, Lawyered does not continuously monitor Attorneys’ license status, disciplinary history, malpractice coverage, or the accuracy of Attorney profiles, and Lawyered makes no representation or warranty regarding any Attorney or any information supplied by an Attorney.

1.6 Confidentiality and Privilege. Communications you send through the Platform to an Attorney with whom you have not yet formed an attorney-client relationship may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege or treated as confidential, and the Attorney you contact is not required to, and may choose not to, accept you as a client. Do not send sensitive or confidential information about your legal matter through the Platform until you and an Attorney have agreed to an engagement and the Attorney has instructed you on how to communicate. Lawyered has access to certain information transmitted through the Platform as described in our Privacy Policy, and Lawyered is not bound by the attorney-client privilege.

1.7 No Guarantee of Outcome. Lawyered does not guarantee that you will find an Attorney through the Platform, that any Attorney will accept your matter, or that any particular result will be achieved in any legal matter. Prior results described on the Platform, including in Attorney profiles or reviews, do not guarantee a similar outcome.

1.8 Attorneys Are Independent. Attorneys who participate on the Platform are independent professionals. They are not employees, agents, partners, or joint venturers of Lawyered, and Lawyered does not supervise, direct, or control the legal services they provide. Each Attorney is solely responsible for the legal services the Attorney provides and for compliance with the rules of professional conduct applicable to the Attorney.

1.9 Legal Fees Are Between You and Your Attorney. Lawyered does not set, negotiate, or collect legal fees, and does not receive any portion of any legal fee. All fee arrangements for legal services are solely between the Client and the Attorney. Any billing or payment tools that Lawyered may make available are administrative conveniences only, and their use does not make Lawyered a party to, or guarantor of, any fee arrangement.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

2.1 Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Platform. The Platform is intended for users located in the United States. The Platform currently facilitates connections with Attorneys practicing in the States of New York and New Jersey. You may register for an account from other states, but Attorney availability for matters outside New York and New Jersey may be limited or unavailable, and nothing on the Platform is an offer to provide, or to arrange, legal services in any jurisdiction where doing so would be unlawful.

2.2 Creating an Account. Some features of the Platform require you to register for an account. When you register, you agree to provide accurate and complete information and to keep that information current. You can delete your account at any time by following the instructions on the Platform or by contacting us at support@trylawyered.com. We may suspend or terminate your account as described in Section 13.

2.3 Client Accounts. Registration and use of the Platform’s core Client features are currently free of charge for Clients. We may introduce optional paid features for Clients in the future; any fees will be disclosed to you before you incur them.

2.4 Attorney Accounts. Attorney accounts are subject to the additional terms in Section 3 and to the subscription fees described there.

2.5 Account Security. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. If you believe your account has been accessed without your authorization, please notify us immediately at support@trylawyered.com. We are not liable for any losses resulting from your failure to keep your credentials secure.

3. Additional Terms for Attorney Users

The following additional terms apply to each Attorney who registers for, accesses, or uses the Platform.

3.1 Professional Representations. By registering as an Attorney, you represent and warrant, on a continuing basis, that: (i) you are duly licensed and in good standing to practice law in each jurisdiction identified in your profile; (ii) you are not currently suspended or disbarred in any jurisdiction, and you will promptly notify us of any suspension, disbarment, resignation with charges pending, or public discipline; (iii) all information in your profile is accurate, current, and not misleading; and (iv) your use of the Platform, including the content of your profile and your communications with Clients, complies with all rules of professional conduct applicable to you, including rules governing attorney advertising, solicitation, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and fee arrangements.

3.2 Attorney Advertising Rules. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your profile and any other content you submit comply with the attorney advertising rules of each jurisdiction in which you are admitted or in which your content may be viewed, including any required disclaimers, labeling (such as “Attorney Advertising”), record-retention, or filing obligations. Lawyered does not review Attorney content for compliance with professional rules.

3.3 Subscription Fees. Attorneys pay a flat, periodic subscription fee for access to the Platform, at the rates and on the terms disclosed at the time of purchase. Subscription fees are charged for access to the Platform’s marketing, communication, and billing tools. Subscription fees are not referral fees, are not contingent on whether any Client engages you, and are not calculated by reference to any legal fee you earn. Lawyered does not receive any portion of any legal fee.

3.4 Billing; Renewal; Cancellation. Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until canceled. You may cancel at any time through your account settings or by contacting support@trylawyered.com; cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period, and, except where required by law, fees already paid are non-refundable. We may change subscription pricing on notice to you; price changes take effect at your next renewal. You are responsible for any applicable taxes. Payments are processed by third-party payment processors, and your payment information is handled as described in our Privacy Policy and the processor’s terms.

3.5 Professional Responsibility. As between you and Lawyered, you are solely responsible for: (i) deciding whether to accept any Client or matter; (ii) running conflicts checks; (iii) entering into engagement or retainer agreements directly with Clients; (iv) the competence, diligence, and quality of the legal services you provide; (v) safeguarding client confidences and complying with privilege obligations, including exercising your own professional judgment about what information may appropriately be transmitted through the Platform; and (vi) maintaining any professional liability insurance required by applicable law or advisable for your practice.

3.6 Client Information. Information that Clients submit through the Platform, including intake responses, is provided by Clients and is not verified by Lawyered. You agree to use Client information solely to evaluate and communicate about the prospective engagement and to provide legal services if engaged, and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

4. Access to the Platform

4.1 License. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform for your own personal or internal business purposes (and, for Attorneys, for the purpose of marketing your services, communicating with Clients, and using the tools provided to Attorneys).

4.2 Restrictions. You may not: (i) license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, or commercially exploit the Platform or any content on it, except as expressly permitted by these Terms; (ii) modify, create derivative works from, disassemble, reverse-compile, or reverse-engineer any part of the Platform; (iii) access the Platform in order to build a similar or competing product or service; or (iv) copy, reproduce, distribute, republish, download, display, post, or transmit any part of the Platform except as expressly permitted by these Terms. All copyright and proprietary notices on the Platform must be kept intact on any copies you are permitted to make.

4.3 Changes to the Platform. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Platform (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

4.4 No Support Obligation. We have no obligation to provide you with support or maintenance for the Platform.

4.5 Ownership. All intellectual property rights in the Platform and its content (excluding User Content, as defined below), including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets, belong to Lawyered or its suppliers. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you, except for the limited access rights in Section 4.1. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

4.6 Feedback. If you share feedback or suggestions about the Platform with us, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free license to use that feedback freely, in any manner and for any purpose, without attribution. Please do not submit any feedback that you consider proprietary or confidential.

5. User Content

5.1 Definition and Responsibility. “User Content” means content and information that users submit to or through the Platform, including Attorney profiles, Client intake responses, messages, reviews, ratings, comments, and other materials. You are solely responsible for your User Content, and you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit it and that it is accurate, lawful, and not misleading. User Content reflects the views of the user who submitted it; Lawyered does not endorse and is not responsible for any User Content.

5.2 License to Lawyered. You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant Lawyered a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute that User Content as necessary to operate, provide, improve, and promote the Platform, consistent with our Privacy Policy. This license does not grant any third party the right to use your User Content to develop, train, fine-tune, or otherwise improve any machine learning or artificial intelligence model, except as expressly permitted in a separate written agreement with Lawyered.

5.3 Reviews. If review features are available, reviews must reflect the reviewer’s genuine, first-hand experience and must not be false, misleading, defamatory, or submitted in exchange for compensation. Attorneys may not submit reviews of themselves, solicit reviews in violation of applicable professional rules, or retaliate against any user for a review. Reviews are opinions of the users who submit them and should not be relied upon as a substitute for your own evaluation.

5.4 Moderation and Removal. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor, screen, edit, or remove User Content at any time and for any reason, including User Content that we believe violates these Terms, applicable law, or professional rules. We are not responsible for any failure or delay in posting or removing User Content.

5.5 Public Areas. Do not post confidential information, information about your legal matter, or personal information of others in any public or semi-public area of the Platform, such as reviews or profile comments. Information posted in public areas may be viewed, collected, and used by others, and we are not responsible for any such use.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Platform in any unlawful, infringing, tortious, or harmful manner, or in any way that interferes with the operation, use, or enjoyment of the Platform. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree not to: (i) provide or offer to provide legal services through the Platform unless you are an Attorney duly licensed in the relevant jurisdiction, or otherwise engage in or facilitate the unauthorized practice of law; (ii) impersonate any person, misrepresent your identity, credentials, or affiliation, or register for an Attorney account if you are not a licensed attorney; (iii) submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information, including in intake questionnaires, profiles, or reviews; (iv) harvest, scrape, or collect information about other users, or access the Platform by automated means (including bots, crawlers, or autonomous agents) without our prior written consent; (v) use the Platform to send spam or unsolicited communications, or to solicit users for products or services unrelated to the purposes of the Platform; (vi) circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features of the Platform, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network; (vii) upload viruses or other malicious code; (viii) harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against any user or Lawyered representative; or (ix) use the Platform in violation of any applicable law, regulation, court rule, or rule of professional conduct.

7. Privacy

Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is available at trylawyered.com/privacy and is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The Privacy Policy describes the types of personal information we collect from you or your device, how we use that information, and the circumstances under which we may share it, including how Client intake information is shared with Attorneys the Client chooses to contact.

7.1 Processing of Personal Information. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understand our Privacy Policy and that Lawyered will process your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Policy. If there is a conflict between these Terms and the Privacy Policy with respect to the collection, use, or processing of your personal information, the Privacy Policy will control.

7.2 Cookies and Tracking Technologies. The Platform may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Platform. For details on what technologies the Platform uses, what information they collect, and how you can manage your preferences, please see the Cookies section of our Privacy Policy.

8. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lawyered and its members, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and reasonable costs or attorneys’ fees arising out of (i) your use of the Platform, (ii) your User Content, (iii) your violation of these Terms, (iv) your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or rule of professional conduct, or (v) for Attorneys, any legal services you provide or fail to provide to any Client. We may assume control of the defense of any such claim at your expense, and you agree to cooperate with our defense. You agree not to settle any such claim without our prior written consent. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you promptly of any claim we become aware of.

9. Third-Party Services and Other Users

9.1 Third-Party Services. The Platform may include links to or integrations with third-party websites or services, including payment processors and communication tools (collectively, “Third-Party Services”). We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for any Third-Party Services. You use all Third-Party Services at your own risk, and you acknowledge and agree that the applicable third party’s own terms and privacy practices will apply to such use.

9.2 Interactions Between Users. Your interactions with other users of the Platform, including all dealings between Clients and Attorneys and any engagement, representation, fee arrangement, or dispute between them, are solely between you and those users. Lawyered is not responsible for any loss or harm resulting from those interactions, including any act, error, or omission of any Attorney, and we reserve the right, but have no obligation, to become involved in disputes between users.

9.3 Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Lawyered and its members, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from all claims, demands, and damages of any kind arising out of or related to the Platform, other users (including any Attorney or Client), or Third-Party Services. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

10. Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LAWYERED AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, LAWYERED MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING ANY ATTORNEY, ANY CLIENT, ANY USER CONTENT, THE ACCURACY OF ANY PROFILE OR MATCHING RESULT, THE AVAILABILITY OR WILLINGNESS OF ANY ATTORNEY TO ACCEPT ANY MATTER, OR THE QUALITY OR OUTCOME OF ANY LEGAL SERVICES. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR HARMFUL CODE. WHERE APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES WARRANTIES, THEY ARE LIMITED TO 90 DAYS FROM YOUR FIRST USE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) LAWYERED AND ITS SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY LEGAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY, OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF, ANY ATTORNEY; AND (B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS IS CAPPED AT THE GREATER OF (i) $50 USD AND (ii) THE AMOUNT PAID TO LAWYERED BY YOU UNDER THESE TERMS IN THE SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS DOES NOT INCREASE THIS CAP. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

12. Nothing in These Terms Limits Non-Waivable Rights

Nothing in these Terms, including the release, disclaimers, and limitations of liability above, is intended to limit or waive, and shall not be construed to limit or waive, any right or remedy that cannot be limited or waived under applicable law, including any clearly established legal right of a consumer under the law of the consumer’s state of residence. To the extent any provision of these Terms is prohibited as applied to you by the law of your state, that provision does not apply to you to the extent of the prohibition.

13. Term and Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Platform. We may suspend or terminate your access (including suspending access to or deleting your account) at any time and for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms, submitted false credentials, or engaged in conduct inconsistent with applicable professional rules. We are not liable to you for any such termination. For Attorneys, termination or suspension does not entitle you to a refund of prepaid subscription fees except where required by law. Termination of your account does not affect any attorney-client relationship formed between a Client and an Attorney, which remains governed by the parties’ engagement agreement and applicable professional rules. Upon termination, Sections 1, 3.5, 4.2, 4.5, 4.6, 5, and 8 through 17 will survive.

14. State-Specific Legal Notices

15. General

15.1 Changes to Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we may notify you by email (at the address on file) or by a prominent notice on the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform after notice of changes means you accept the updated Terms.

15.2 Governing Law and Venue. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Platform will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. For any claim or dispute not subject to the arbitration provisions in Section 16, you and Lawyered irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights (including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets); and (b) either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for claims within that court’s jurisdictional limits.

15.3 Export. You agree not to export, re-export, or transfer any technical data or products acquired from the Platform in violation of U.S. export control laws or applicable regulations in other countries.

15.4 Electronic Communications. By using the Platform, you consent to receiving communications from us electronically (by email or notices posted on the Platform). These electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement for written notice.

15.5 Accessibility. Lawyered is committed to making the Platform accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. We endeavor to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). If you experience any difficulty accessing or navigating the Platform, or if you have suggestions for improving accessibility, please contact us at support@trylawyered.com. We will make reasonable efforts to address accessibility concerns promptly.

15.6 Entire Agreement. These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies or guidelines referenced herein, and, for Attorneys, any separate subscription or ordering terms presented at purchase) are the entire agreement between you and Lawyered regarding your use of the Platform. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be valid, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. The word “including” means “including without limitation.” You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them freely. These Terms bind any permitted assignees.

15.7 Copyright and Trademarks. Copyright © 2026 Lawyered, LLC. All rights reserved. All trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the Platform are owned by Lawyered or third parties. You may not use any of them without prior written consent from the owner.

16. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to sue in court and your right to a jury trial.

16.1 Applicability. Except as described below, you and Lawyered agree to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the Platform, its services, or these Terms through binding individual arbitration, not in court. Exceptions include: (i) claims that qualify for small claims court, brought on an individual basis; and (ii) requests for equitable relief related to intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade secrets, or copyrights). This arbitration agreement applies to all claims, including those that arose before you agreed to these Terms. For clarity, this arbitration agreement governs disputes between you and Lawyered only; it does not govern disputes between a Client and an Attorney, which are subject to any agreement between those parties.

16.2 Try to Resolve First. Before starting arbitration, the parties agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. The party raising the dispute must send written notice (an “Informal Notice”) to the other party. Lawyered’s notice address is support@trylawyered.com; we will send any Informal Notice to you at the email address associated with your account. Within 45 days of receiving an Informal Notice, the parties will meet by phone or video in good faith to try to work things out. If the informal dispute resolution process does not resolve the dispute within 60 days, either party may start arbitration.

16.3 Arbitration Rules. Arbitrations will be administered by JAMS (www.jamsadr.com). Claims under $150,000 (excluding fees and interest) will use JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules; larger claims will use JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. Unless the parties agree otherwise, arbitration will be conducted in the county where you live. All arbitration materials and documents are confidential.

16.4 Arbitration Demand. The arbitration demand must include: (i) your contact information and account username (if applicable); (ii) a description of the claims and supporting facts; (iii) the relief you are seeking and a good-faith damages estimate; (iv) confirmation that you completed the informal resolution process; and (v) proof of any required filing fee payment.

16.5 Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator has authority to resolve all arbitrable disputes, including questions about the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement, except that courts (not arbitrators) will decide: (i) challenges to the class action waiver below; (ii) disputes about arbitration fees; (iii) whether a condition precedent to arbitration has been satisfied; and (iv) which version of this agreement applies. The arbitrator may award the same relief as a court, but on an individual basis only. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

16.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU AND LAWYERED WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY FOR ALL COVERED CLAIMS.

16.7 Waiver of Class Actions. ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER YOU NOR LAWYERED MAY BRING CLAIMS AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may only award relief on an individual basis. If a court finds this class action waiver unenforceable as to a specific claim, that claim may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York; all other claims remain subject to arbitration.

16.8 Attorneys’ Fees. Each party bears its own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitrator finds a claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.

16.9 Batch Arbitration. If 100 or more substantially similar arbitration demands are filed against Lawyered within a 30-day period by the same law firm or coordinated group, JAMS will batch them into groups of 100 and appoint one arbitrator per batch, with one set of fees per batch.

16.10 Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to support@trylawyered.com. Your notice must include your name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

16.11 Severability. If any part of this arbitration agreement is found invalid, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable; the rest of the agreement remains in effect.

17. Questions

If you have questions about these Terms, please contact us at support@trylawyered.com.
