Effective Date: May 1, 2024

WELCOME TO EVERYCONTRACTYOUNEED.COM! EveryContractYouNeed does not offer legal advice or representation and is not a law firm or a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney or law firm.

 

Every Contract You Need, LLC (“ECYN”, “we”, “our” or “us”) operates the website located at the URL [https://everycontractyouneed.com/] together with any other Site or applications branded as EveryContractYouNeed.com and/or ECYN (individually and collectively known as the “Site”). It is important to us that you, and our other visitors, have the best possible time while using the Site and that when you use this Site you are fully aware of your respective legal rights and obligations. For that reason, we have created these Terms of Service as the legally binding terms to govern your use of this Site. Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using the Site, because they affect your legal rights and obligations.

THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.

No Legal Advice; No Attorney-Client Relationship ECYN provides form agreements and template legal documents (collectively, “Template(s)”) for personal internal business use only. You understand and agree that ECYN is not a law firm or an attorney and ECYN may not and does not perform services performed by an attorney. Templates purchased from or otherwise provided by ECYN are not a substitute for the legal advice or services of an attorney. Without limiting the foregoing, ECYN may not reflect recent developments in the law, may not be complete, and may not be accurate in or applicable to your jurisdiction. Because ECYN is general in nature and may not pertain to your specific circumstances, you should not act or refrain from acting based on any ECYN Templates or information provided on the Site without first obtaining advice from professional counsel qualified in the applicable subject matter and jurisdiction. No attorney-client relationship or privilege is created between you and ECYN or its officers, members, employees, or agents. If, prior to your purchase, you believe that ECYN provided legal advice, opinions or recommendations about your legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms or strategies, you will not proceed with this purchase, and any purchase that you do make will be null and void.

Proprietary Online Services Any area of this Site that is accessed through any proprietary online service is subject to the rules, policies, and guidelines of such proprietary online service.

 

Law and Jurisdiction These Terms of Service and any dispute that may arise between you and ECYN shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).

 

DISPUTES ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND YOUR USE OF THE SITE SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED BELOW. BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION, YOU ARE HEREBY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO BRING DISPUTES TO A COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. WE ALSO BOTH AGREE THAT YOU OR WE MAY BRING SUIT IN COURT TO ENJOIN INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION YOU MAY HAVE WITH RESPECT TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES.

 

Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver In the event of any dispute between you and us regarding these Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, the Site and/or any products or services purchased from the Site, you and ECYN agree to first send the other party a notice of dispute, which is a written statement setting forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving the notice, the facts giving rise to the dispute and the relief requested. You must send any notice of dispute by e-mail to admin@everycontractyouneed.com. We will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you. You and ECYN will attempt to resolve any dispute through informal negotiation within 30 days from the date that the notice of dispute is sent. If we are unable to resolve a dispute by negotiation, you agree that disputes must be resolved through binding arbitration rather than by a court, provided that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms of Service. There is no judge or jury in arbitration and court review of an arbitration award is limited. It is important that you understand that the arbitrator’s decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to us at admin@everycontractyouneed.com with “Arbitration Request” in the subject line.

 

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

 

ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION. You agree to arbitrate with ECYN only in your individual capacity and not as a representative or member of a class or in any consolidated or representative proceeding. As such, your claims may not be joined with any other claims and there shall be no authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or brought by a purported class representative. No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration or proceeding. If the class action waiver is found illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration. For certain claims, like violations of these Terms of Service or breaches of intellectual property covenants, we reserve the right to seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. All arbitrations shall be initiated in Los Angeles County, Los Angles, California.

 

Investigations ECYN reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of these Terms of Service, including without limitation any violation arising from any submission, posting or e- mails you make or send to any Forum. ECYN may seek to gather information from the user who is suspected of violating these Terms of Service, and from any other user.

 

ECYN may suspend any users whose conduct or postings are under investigation and may remove such material from its servers as it deems appropriate and without notice. If ECYN believes, in its sole discretion, that a violation of these Terms of Service has occurred, it may edit or modify any submission, posting or e-mails, remove the material permanently, cancel postings, warn users, suspend users and passwords, terminate accounts, or take other corrective action it deems appropriate. ECYN will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing ECYN to disclose the identity of anyone posting any e-mails, or publishing or otherwise making available any materials that are believed to violate these Terms of Service.

 

BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS ALL MEMBERS OF ECYN FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY ANY MEMBER OF ECYN DURING OR AS A RESULT OF ITS INVESTIGATIONS AND/OR FROM ANY ACTIONS TAKEN AS A CONSEQUNCE OF INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER A MEMBER OF THE ECYN OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.
