Terms and Conditions

• Effective Date: January 01, 2026
• Contracting Entity: Legal Husk, a United States business entity doing business as LegalHusk
• Contact: [email protected]

These Terms and Conditions are a legally binding agreement between you and Legal Husk, a United States business entity doing business as LegalHusk ("LegalHusk," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern access to legalhusk.com, related applications, account portals, communications tools, payment features, and marketplace services collectively called the "Platform." LegalHusk's business location is the United States and its contact email is [email protected].

By selecting an acceptance box, creating an account, submitting or accepting an Order, listing Professional Services, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform. If you act for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind it.

Marketplace model. LegalHusk operates an online technology marketplace where Clients and independent Professionals meet, communicate, form direct engagements, and work toward the successful completion of Professional Services. LegalHusk facilitates marketplace access, administrative workflows, communications, records, support, and payment administration through third party providers. LegalHusk does not provide Professional Services, is not a law firm, does not employ or supervise Professionals, is not a party to Client and Professional engagements, and does not guarantee any legal, financial, commercial, or other result.

1. Definitions

1. "Client" means a person or organization that uses the Platform to seek or purchase Professional Services.
2. "Professional" means an independent lawyer, attorney, law firm, paralegal, legal technician, document assistant, consultant, or other legal service provider permitted to offer the relevant services in the applicable jurisdiction.
3. "Professional Services" means legal advice, representation, document preparation, legal research, litigation support, administrative legal support, or other services offered and performed by a Professional, not by LegalHusk.
4. "Platform Services" means the technology, account, search, profile, communication, administrative, support, review, and payment facilitation functions supplied by LegalHusk.
5. "Order" means the recorded transaction through which a Client and Professional agree on scope, deliverables, timing, price, milestones, and any permitted change.
6. "Engagement Agreement" means the separate agreement between a Client and a Professional governing Professional Services. It may include an engagement letter, fee agreement, scope statement, or other terms required by professional rules.
7. "Professional Fee" means the amount charged by a Professional for Professional Services.
8. "Platform Fee" means a fee charged by LegalHusk for Platform Services and displayed separately before an Order is confirmed.
9. "Payment Provider" means the regulated payment service provider identified at checkout or another regulated third party used to process, hold, route, refund, or pay transaction funds.
10. "User Content" means information, files, messages, profile content, reviews, and other material submitted through the Platform.

2. Eligibility and Account Authority

You must be at least eighteen years old, or the age of legal majority where you live if higher, and legally capable of entering a binding agreement. The Platform is not intended for children. LegalHusk may require identity, age, address, authority, tax, sanctions, payment, or credential verification.

An organization user must identify its authorized representative and remains responsible for account activity. You may not open an account for a person or entity without authority, transfer an account without approval, or allow another person to use your credentials. You must keep account information accurate and notify [email protected] promptly of unauthorized access.

3. Marketplace Role of LegalHusk

LegalHusk operates a technology marketplace. LegalHusk provides Platform Services that may allow Clients to discover Professionals, compare profiles, communicate, organize an Order, and make or receive payments through a Payment Provider.

LegalHusk is not a law firm. LegalHusk does not itself provide Professional Services, legal advice, legal representation, legal strategy, legal document drafting for a specific matter, court filing, advocacy, or legal opinions. LegalHusk does not act as attorney of record, co counsel, local counsel, supervising lawyer, employer, agent, partner, or fiduciary of a Client or Professional.

A Professional, and not LegalHusk, is solely responsible for accepting an engagement, conducting conflicts checks, determining competence and authority, setting the Professional Fee, defining scope, applying professional judgment, performing Professional Services, protecting client funds, meeting deadlines, and complying with all applicable professional rules.

No Platform statement changes this allocation of responsibility. If an employee or support representative appears to provide legal advice, the communication is unauthorized and must not be relied upon. Support may explain Platform functions and administrative processes only.

4. No Attorney Client Relationship With LegalHusk

Use of the Platform does not create an attorney client, fiduciary, or professional relationship between any User and LegalHusk. LegalHusk does not owe the duties that a lawyer owes a client merely because information is transmitted through the Platform.

The Platform process contemplates that an attorney client or other professional relationship will begin only between a Client and Professional after the Professional completes any required conflict review, affirmatively accepts the engagement, and the parties enter an Engagement Agreement. Applicable law and the parties' communications or conduct may nevertheless create duties, including duties to a prospective client, before a formal agreement is signed. Professionals must manage inquiries accordingly, and Clients should obtain written confirmation of acceptance. Viewing a profile, receiving search results, or receiving an automated acknowledgement does not by itself create a relationship.

5. Independent Professionals

Professionals are independent providers and are not employees, agents, franchisees, partners, or representatives of LegalHusk. No Professional may make promises for LegalHusk or present LegalHusk as a law firm. LegalHusk does not control a Professional's legal judgment, advice, work product, staffing, acceptance or withdrawal from a matter, or compliance with professional duties.

Each Professional is responsible for taxes, insurance, licenses, registrations, continuing education, trust accounting, recordkeeping, conflicts systems, supervision, and business expenses. Nothing in these Terms creates employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency.

6. Professional Eligibility and Verification

Before listing regulated services, a Professional must provide complete and current information concerning identity, business name, physical address, licensing jurisdiction, license or registration number, admission status, disciplinary history required by law, service jurisdictions, insurance status, and any supervisory arrangement.

LegalHusk may verify selected information against official records and may display the date and scope of verification. Verification is a Platform risk control, not an endorsement, guarantee of competence, continuous monitoring promise, or prediction of outcome. Clients should independently verify a Professional through the relevant regulator before engagement.

A Professional must immediately notify LegalHusk of suspension, restriction, discipline, investigation where disclosure is required, change of address, loss of insurance, loss of supervisory authority, or any event affecting eligibility. LegalHusk may request updated evidence and may restrict a profile while reviewing it.

7. Search, Matching, Ranking, and Sponsored Placement

Search and matching tools may consider information such as jurisdiction, practice area, language, availability, price range, completed Orders, responsiveness, review history, and Client selected filters. Search results are informational and do not constitute legal advice or an individualized endorsement that a Professional is suitable for a particular matter. LegalHusk may restrict matching functions where applicable referral or professional rules require it.

If LegalHusk offers paid placement, it will be clearly identified as sponsored or promoted. A Professional remains responsible for ensuring that profile statements, rankings, advertisements, and payments comply with professional advertising and referral rules. LegalHusk may restrict paid placement by jurisdiction or profession.

8. Selecting and Engaging a Professional

The Client chooses the Professional. Before engagement, the Client should consider the Professional's jurisdiction, experience, fee, scope, availability, disciplinary record, insurance, language, and ability to meet relevant deadlines.

The Professional must determine whether the matter is within the Professional's competence and authorization. Before substantive work begins, the Professional must perform required conflicts checks and provide an Engagement Agreement and disclosures required by applicable law or professional rules.

The Engagement Agreement is solely between the Client and Professional. It must identify the responsible Professional, scope, exclusions, fee basis, expense treatment, handling of advance fees, communication method, withdrawal rights, complaint channels, and any required consumer notice. LegalHusk is not a party to the Engagement Agreement and does not enforce any term that would violate law or professional duties.

9. Confidentiality, Conflicts, and Privilege

Before a Professional confirms that conflicts have been cleared, a Client should provide only the minimum information reasonably necessary to identify the parties and general nature of the matter. A Client should not assume that an initial message is privileged or that sending information prevents the Professional from acting for another person.

After an engagement begins, the Professional is responsible for legal confidentiality, privilege, work product, conflicts, secure communication, and file handling duties. LegalHusk will handle Platform data under its Privacy Notice and reasonable security controls, but LegalHusk does not guarantee that a communication is privileged merely because it passes through the Platform.

LegalHusk personnel and service providers may access communications and files only as reasonably necessary to operate and secure the Platform, provide requested support, investigate abuse, administer a payment dispute, or comply with law, subject to confidentiality and access controls described in the Privacy Notice.

10. Paralegals and Other Nonlawyer Providers

A paralegal or other nonlawyer may offer services only to the extent permitted in the jurisdiction connected with the matter. Unless independently authorized by applicable law, a nonlawyer may not give legal advice, select legal strategy, represent a Client, establish an attorney client relationship, or independently prepare legal documents for another person in a manner constituting the practice of law.

Where lawyer supervision is required, the profile and Order must identify the responsible supervising lawyer or law firm. That lawyer must accept responsibility, review the work to the extent required, protect confidentiality, and ensure compliance with professional rules. Clients may not use the Platform to obtain unauthorized legal services from a nonlawyer.

11. Client Responsibilities

A Client must:

1. provide truthful, complete, current, and lawfully obtained information;
2. identify the country, state, province, court, agency, and other jurisdiction connected with the matter;
3. disclose all known deadlines and independently monitor them until a Professional confirms responsibility in writing;
4. review the Professional's identity, authority, Engagement Agreement, scope, fees, and disclosures before proceeding;
5. have the legal right to upload, disclose, and instruct the use of all User Content;
6. cooperate with conflicts checks, identity checks, and lawful requests for information;
7. review deliverables promptly and communicate factual corrections; and
8. use Professional Services and deliverables only for lawful purposes.

The Client remains responsible for court filing, service, signatures, notarization, fees, appearances, and deadlines unless the Engagement Agreement expressly assigns a task to a Professional and the Professional confirms completion.

12. Professional Responsibilities

In addition to the Professional Agreement, each Professional must:

1. accept only work that the Professional is legally authorized and competent to perform;
2. conduct timely conflicts checks and decline or withdraw where required;
3. use independent professional judgment and reject instructions that are unlawful, fraudulent, frivolous, abusive, or inconsistent with professional duties;
4. state credentials, location, experience, insurance, pricing, availability, and limitations accurately;
5. provide required engagement, fee, privacy, consumer, and regulatory disclosures;
6. supervise staff and nonlawyer assistants as required;
7. protect confidential information and funds under applicable professional rules;
8. communicate material delays and avoid accepting work that cannot reasonably be completed on time;
9. maintain complete records of scope, changes, delivery, and earned fees; and
10. cooperate with lawful Platform verification and administrative dispute processes without compromising professional duties.

13. No Emergency or Deadline Reliance

The Platform is not an emergency service and should not be used where immediate legal protection, arrest response, safety intervention, injunction, filing, appeal, limitation period, or other urgent action is required. Contact an authorized local lawyer, court, emergency service, or relevant authority directly.

A message, quote request, Order request, automated notice, or payment does not mean that a Professional has accepted responsibility for a deadline. Responsibility begins only when the Professional expressly confirms it in the Engagement Agreement or a written Order update.

14. Orders, Scope, and Changes

Before an Order is confirmed, the Client and Professional must record the agreed scope, deliverables, exclusions, milestones, timing, Professional Fee, expenses, review period, and revision terms. Material changes must be recorded through the Platform and accepted by both parties.

LegalHusk may provide forms or workflow prompts, but the Professional remains responsible for deciding whether the recorded scope and fee arrangement satisfy professional rules. If the Order conflicts with the Engagement Agreement, mandatory law and professional duties apply first, followed by the Engagement Agreement for Professional Services, and then the Order record for commercial details that do not conflict.

15. Fees and Quotes

Professionals set their own Professional Fees and may offer fixed, hourly, milestone, subscription, contingent, or other fee arrangements only where lawful. Every quote must identify what is included, excluded, refundable, payable in advance, held in trust, earned on receipt where permitted, or subject to expenses.

LegalHusk does not set or approve the reasonableness of a Professional Fee. A displayed estimate is not final unless accepted in an Order. The Professional is solely responsible for fee reasonableness, required writings, trust treatment, billing records, refunds of unearned amounts, and contingent fee rules.

16. Platform Fees and Professional Ethics

LegalHusk may charge a Platform Fee that is separately disclosed before confirmation. Unless LegalHusk has completed a documented review establishing that another structure is permitted for the relevant profession and jurisdiction, LegalHusk will not calculate its compensation as a percentage or share of a lawyer's legal fee, condition its compensation on a particular legal outcome, or direct a lawyer's professional judgment.

LegalHusk may charge fixed technology, payment administration, subscription, verification, listing, or other Platform Fees where permitted. The person responsible for each Platform Fee and any taxes will be shown before the Order is confirmed. A Platform Fee does not purchase a recommendation or guarantee engagement.

No User may relabel a prohibited referral payment, fee share, or other regulated payment as a Platform Fee. LegalHusk may change, disable, or refuse a fee arrangement to comply with applicable law or professional rules.

17. Payment Facilitation; No Escrow

Payments are processed through the Payment Provider under its own terms and privacy notice. LegalHusk may transmit payment instructions and display transaction status, but LegalHusk is not a bank, money transmitter, trustee, lawyer trust account, or escrow agent unless a separate written agreement expressly identifies a properly licensed service and states otherwise.

Descriptions such as payment protection, pending, reserved, on hold, or scheduled for release do not create an escrow or fiduciary relationship. The Payment Provider may require identity, bank, tax, sanctions, fraud, or source of funds information and may reject, reverse, reserve, or delay a transaction under its rules or applicable law.

Where professional rules require advance legal fees or client property to be maintained in a trust or client account, the Professional is solely responsible for using a compliant payment and trust accounting structure. LegalHusk may prohibit an Order if the configured payment flow cannot comply.

18. Milestones, Review, and Release

An Order may provide for milestones. When a Professional marks a milestone complete, the Client will receive notice and the review period stated in the Order will begin. The Client should accept the milestone or identify a specific scope or delivery issue through the Platform before that period expires.

Subject to mandatory law, Payment Provider rules, chargebacks, and professional obligations concerning unearned fees, funds may be scheduled for release after Client acceptance or expiration of the stated review period. Automatic scheduling does not determine whether a legal fee is earned under professional rules, and the Professional remains responsible for returning any unearned amount.

LegalHusk may pause or instruct the Payment Provider to pause a scheduled release while an administrative dispute, fraud review, sanctions review, court order, or legal obligation is pending, to the extent the payment arrangement permits.

19. Cancellations, Refunds, and Consumer Withdrawal Rights

Refund eligibility depends on who charged the fee, whether work began, what work was completed, applicable professional rules, Payment Provider rules, and mandatory consumer law. No provision of these Terms makes an unearned legal fee nonrefundable or waives a consumer right that cannot lawfully be waived.

Before a Professional accepts an Order, a Client may cancel and receive a refund of amounts not already lawfully incurred, less any clearly disclosed and lawful payment charge. After acceptance, the Client and Professional must apply their Engagement Agreement and professional rules. LegalHusk may refund its own Platform Fee when required by law or under the Payment and Refund Policy.

If a Client has a statutory right to withdraw from a remote service contract, LegalHusk and the Professional will provide required notices. A Client who asks for performance during a withdrawal period may be required to give express consent and may owe a proportionate amount for services performed before withdrawal. Where permitted, the right may end after full performance if the Client gave the acknowledgements required by law. Schedule A contains a model cancellation form for eligible consumers.

20. Chargebacks and Payment Reversals

A Client should first use the Platform dispute process before initiating a chargeback, unless law or card rules provide otherwise. A fraudulent or knowingly false chargeback is prohibited. LegalHusk may provide the Payment Provider with Order records, communications, acceptance evidence, delivery information, and other lawful evidence needed to respond.

A Professional is responsible for reversals attributable to the Professional's services, conduct, breach, or failure to maintain required records, as stated in the Professional Agreement. LegalHusk may recover amounts owed, set them off against future payouts where lawful, or suspend payment access.

21. Administrative Disputes Between Clients and Professionals

A Client or Professional may contact [email protected] and identify the Order, disputed milestone, requested resolution, and supporting records. The other party may be given a reasonable opportunity to respond.

LegalHusk support may review objective Platform issues such as whether an Order was accepted, whether a deliverable was transmitted, whether the recorded scope or milestone was completed, whether a revision was requested within the review period, and whether a payment should remain paused under Platform rules.

LegalHusk support does not act as a court, arbitrator, bar association, malpractice tribunal, or legal expert. It will not determine whether legal advice was correct, whether a Professional committed malpractice, whether a pleading should prevail, or whether a Professional violated an ethical rule. LegalHusk may facilitate discussion, pause a payment, refund its Platform Fee, apply Platform account measures, or make another administrative decision permitted by the payment structure.

An administrative decision does not waive either party's rights under the Engagement Agreement, applicable law, insurance, court procedures, fee arbitration programs, or regulatory complaint processes. Nothing prevents a person from contacting a bar association, licensing body, consumer authority, data protection authority, law enforcement agency, or court.

22. Taxes, Currency, and Reporting

Displayed amounts may exclude taxes, bank charges, currency conversion, withholding, or reporting obligations. Each User is responsible for taxes arising from that User's activities, except taxes imposed on LegalHusk's own net income.

LegalHusk or the Payment Provider may collect tax identification, residency, business, and transaction information; withhold amounts; issue tax forms; or report transactions where required. Currency conversion rates and fees may be set by the Payment Provider or financial institutions and can change before settlement.

23. Reviews and Ratings

Reviews must reflect a genuine experience and must not be false, purchased, manipulated, defamatory, threatening, discriminatory, or disclose confidential information. No person may offer or accept compensation conditioned on a positive or negative sentiment. Any permitted incentive must be disclosed and may not depend on the review's content.

LegalHusk may label reviews linked to completed Orders as verified. It may moderate reviews under a published Review Policy for relevance, authenticity, privacy, confidentiality, illegality, abuse, or Platform integrity. LegalHusk will not require a consumer to surrender the right to express an honest opinion as a condition of using the Platform.

24. Acceptable Use

You may not use or assist another person to use the Platform to:

1. violate law, court orders, sanctions, professional rules, or another person's rights;
2. engage in unauthorized practice, fraud, deception, money laundering, bribery, trafficking, harassment, discrimination, or evasion of lawful process;
3. impersonate a person, misstate credentials, conceal discipline, fabricate evidence, falsify records, or submit information you know is materially false;
4. seek frivolous, abusive, retaliatory, or unlawful action against another person;
5. upload malware, scrape data, probe security, bypass access controls, overload systems, or use unauthorized automation;
6. collect or disclose personal, privileged, confidential, or protected information without authority;
7. manipulate rankings, reviews, referrals, payment status, or dispute evidence;
8. avoid a properly disclosed Platform Fee connected with an existing Order through deception, while recognizing that a Client remains free to end an engagement and choose counsel;
9. sell account access or transfer an Order without authorization; or
10. use Platform Content to build or train a competing service or artificial intelligence system without written permission.

25. Communications and Electronic Notices

You agree that account, transaction, verification, security, legal, and support communications may be provided electronically to the contact information in your account. You must keep that information current. Electronic records and signatures may be used to the extent permitted by law.

Marketing messages are separate from essential service communications. LegalHusk will request any consent required for marketing and will provide an unsubscribe method. Withdrawing marketing consent does not prevent essential account, security, transaction, or legal notices.

26. Privacy, Security, and Data Roles

The LegalHusk Privacy Notice explains how LegalHusk collects, uses, shares, retains, transfers, and protects personal data and how individuals may exercise privacy rights. It is incorporated into these Terms. Where required, LegalHusk will provide additional regional notices and obtain consent separately from acceptance of these Terms.

For Platform account, verification, marketplace, support, safety, analytics, and payment administration data, LegalHusk generally acts as an independent controller or business. A Professional generally acts as an independent controller or regulated custodian for personal data received to evaluate or perform Professional Services. A separate data processing agreement will govern any processing performed solely on documented instructions.

Users must apply appropriate safeguards and may not upload more sensitive information than reasonably necessary. LegalHusk uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical controls but cannot guarantee absolute security. Users must promptly report suspected unauthorized access to [email protected].

27. User Content and Case Files

As between a User and LegalHusk, the User retains ownership of User Content. The User grants LegalHusk a limited, nonexclusive, worldwide license to host, copy, transmit, display to authorized recipients, secure, back up, and otherwise process User Content only as reasonably necessary to operate the Platform, provide requested support, prevent abuse, process payments, and comply with law. This license ends when the relevant purpose and lawful retention period end.

LegalHusk will not use private case files to advertise services or train a general artificial intelligence model without separate, explicit consent. Public profile information and reviews may be displayed and reformatted for Platform operation and promotion, subject to the User's settings, applicable law, and the Review Policy. LegalHusk will not materially change the sentiment of a review and will make disclosures required for promotional use.

The Client and Professional must address ownership and permitted use of professional work product in the Engagement Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed or restricted by law, a Client who has paid amounts properly due may use the final deliverable for the matter for which it was prepared.

28. Platform Intellectual Property

The Platform, software, workflows, designs, logos, databases, and LegalHusk created content are owned by LegalHusk or its licensors. Subject to these Terms, LegalHusk grants each User a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the Platform for its intended purpose.

Except as permitted by law, a User may not copy, sell, license, reverse engineer, remove rights notices, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit Platform intellectual property. LegalHusk respects intellectual property rights and may remove content upon a valid notice.

29. Third Party Services

The Platform may interoperate with Payment Providers, identity services, cloud hosts, communications providers, analytics providers, regulators, or external websites. Their services are governed by their own terms and privacy notices. LegalHusk is not responsible for an independent third party's acts, availability, or content, except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

30. Content Moderation and Illegal Content Notices

LegalHusk may investigate and act on content or conduct that appears unlawful, unsafe, fraudulent, misleading, professionally improper, or contrary to these Terms. Measures may include limiting visibility, requesting information, removing content, restricting features, pausing transactions, suspending an account, or reporting conduct where permitted or required.

A person may report allegedly illegal content or conduct to [email protected] with enough information to identify the material, explain the legal concern, and provide contact details and a good faith statement. Where required by law, LegalHusk will provide reasons for moderation decisions and access to an internal complaint process.

31. Suspension, Termination, and Active Matters

A User may close an account subject to unresolved Orders, payment obligations, professional duties, legal holds, and retention requirements. LegalHusk may restrict or terminate access for breach, fraud, security risk, payment risk, sanctions, ineligibility, regulatory concern, harm to another User, or legal obligation.

When reasonable and lawful, LegalHusk will provide notice and an opportunity to respond. Immediate action may be taken where delay could create harm, unlawful practice, fraud, data risk, missed deadlines, or regulatory exposure.

Suspension does not eliminate a Professional's duties to existing clients. LegalHusk will use reasonable efforts to preserve lawful access to records and provide an orderly administrative transition, subject to security, privilege, payment, and legal restrictions. LegalHusk may retain records required for disputes, taxes, fraud prevention, professional obligations, or law.

32. Platform Availability and Changes

LegalHusk may maintain, update, test, restrict, or discontinue Platform features. It does not guarantee continuous, error free, or uninterrupted access. When reasonably practicable, LegalHusk will give notice of a material discontinuation that affects active Orders and will provide a reasonable method to retrieve relevant records.

LegalHusk is not responsible for delay caused by events outside its reasonable control, including natural disaster, war, civil disturbance, epidemic, labor disruption, government action, communications failure, widespread cloud failure, or cyberattack, but this does not remove accrued payment or consumer rights.

33. Disclaimers

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PLATFORM SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." LEGALHUSK DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON INFRINGEMENT. LEGALHUSK DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ACCURATE, OR SUITABLE FOR A PARTICULAR LEGAL MATTER.

LEGALHUSK DOES NOT WARRANT A PROFESSIONAL'S COMPETENCE, CONDUCT, ADVICE, WORK PRODUCT, AVAILABILITY, INSURANCE, OR RESULT. PROFILE VERIFICATION IS LIMITED TO THE INFORMATION AND DATE DISPLAYED. LEGAL OUTCOMES DEPEND ON FACTS, LAW, PROCEDURE, EVIDENCE, DECISION MAKERS, AND OTHER MATTERS OUTSIDE LEGALHUSK'S CONTROL.

THIS SECTION DOES NOT EXCLUDE WARRANTIES OR RIGHTS THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED, INCLUDING MANDATORY CONSUMER RIGHTS.

34. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, LegalHusk and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential loss, or loss of profits, business, opportunity, goodwill, or data, arising from Platform use, even if advised that such loss was possible.

LegalHusk is not liable for Professional Services, legal advice, representation, work product, professional negligence, conflicts, missed deadlines accepted by a Professional, misuse of client funds by a Professional, or a Professional's breach of an Engagement Agreement. Nothing in these Terms makes LegalHusk the provider or guarantor of Professional Services.

For claims arising from Platform Services, LegalHusk's aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of one hundred United States dollars or the Platform Fees paid by the claimant to LegalHusk during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

The exclusions and cap do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, or to LegalHusk's fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence where not excludable, death or personal injury caused by negligence where not excludable, or breach of obligations that applicable law prohibits LegalHusk from limiting. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions, so this section applies only to the maximum lawful extent.

35. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, a Professional and any User acting primarily for business purposes will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LegalHusk and its affiliates, officers, directors, and employees from third party claims, regulatory proceedings, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from that User's unlawful conduct, material breach, infringement, false credentials, Professional Services, professional negligence, unauthorized practice, tax failure, or misuse of another person's confidential information or funds.

A consumer is responsible only to the extent allowed by mandatory consumer law. No User must indemnify LegalHusk for loss caused by LegalHusk's own fraud, willful misconduct, or negligence to the extent such responsibility cannot lawfully be shifted.

36. Complaints, Regulators, and Cooperation

Platform complaints may be sent to [email protected]. Complaints about Professional Services should also be sent to the Professional using the contact information in the Engagement Agreement. LegalHusk may provide the identity, license information, insurer information where disclosed, and regulator link displayed on the Professional's profile.

Nothing in these Terms restricts a User from contacting a court, bar association, licensing authority, consumer protection body, data protection authority, insurer, law enforcement agency, or other competent regulator. Users must preserve evidence and cooperate with lawful requests, subject to privilege and confidentiality duties.

37. Disputes With LegalHusk

37.1 Scope

This section governs disputes between a User and LegalHusk concerning Platform Services. It does not govern a dispute solely between a Client and Professional concerning Professional Services, which is governed by their Engagement Agreement and applicable professional law.

37.2 Informal Resolution

Before filing a claim, the claimant must send a written notice to [email protected] identifying the claimant, account, relevant Order, facts, legal basis, requested relief, and contact information. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the matter for thirty days. This requirement does not prevent urgent interim relief in a court permitted by Section 38, a regulatory complaint, action needed to preserve a limitation period, or a proceeding in another forum that mandatory law makes nonwaivable.

37.3 Delaware Courts for Platform Disputes

If the informal process does not resolve a Platform dispute, the dispute may be filed only in the Delaware courts identified in Section 38, subject to the mandatory rights and regulatory exceptions stated in these Terms. Either party may request urgent interim relief from those courts where necessary to protect confidentiality, security, intellectual property, Platform integrity, or another right for which monetary relief is inadequate.

37.4 No Restriction on Regulatory or Professional Complaints

The informal process and Delaware forum do not prevent any person from filing in a court permitted by Section 38 or contacting a bar association, licensing authority, fee dispute program, consumer protection body, data protection authority, law enforcement agency, or other competent regulator. LegalHusk will not require a User to waive a nonwaivable complaint or reporting right.

37.5 Mandatory Consumer Rights

A consumer retains any right to use the law or courts of the consumer's habitual residence that applicable law makes mandatory and nonwaivable. This limited savings clause applies only to the extent required by that law and does not otherwise change the Delaware choice made in Section 38.

38. Governing Law and Exclusive Delaware Forum

These Terms and any dispute, controversy, or difference arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the Platform, Platform Services, or this Agreement are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.

Subject only to mandatory law that cannot lawfully be waived, any dispute, controversy, or difference which may arise between the parties out of, in relation to, or in connection with this Agreement is hereby irrevocably submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Delaware, United States of America, to the exclusion of any other courts, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions or the User's actual state or country of residence.

For this purpose, the courts of Delaware include the state courts of the State of Delaware and the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, as subject matter jurisdiction permits. Each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts and waives any objection based on inconvenient forum, except to the extent applicable law makes that waiver unenforceable.

Nothing in this choice of law or forum clause deprives a consumer, data subject, or other protected person of a right, remedy, forum, or protection that applicable law makes mandatory and nonwaivable. Nothing prevents a report or complaint to a court, bar association, licensing authority, consumer protection body, data protection authority, law enforcement agency, or other competent regulator.

No contractual limitation period shortens a period that applicable law makes nonwaivable. Otherwise, a claim must be commenced within the applicable statutory period.

39. International Use and Regional Requirements

The Platform may be accessible internationally, but access does not mean every service, profession, payment method, or fee model is available or lawful in every jurisdiction. LegalHusk may restrict countries, regions, professions, service categories, or transactions and may require a regional addendum.

Users must comply with applicable local law, United States export controls, sanctions, anti corruption, anti money laundering, tax, consumer, privacy, and professional rules. LegalHusk may conduct screening and refuse service where compliance cannot reasonably be established.

Where mandatory regional law conflicts with these Terms, that law controls to the minimum required extent. A translated version may be provided for convenience, but the English version controls unless applicable law requires otherwise.

40. Changes to These Terms

LegalHusk may change these Terms prospectively. For a material change, LegalHusk will provide reasonable advance notice through the Platform or account email, normally at least thirty days when practicable. An urgent change required for security, law, fraud prevention, or regulatory compliance may take effect sooner with notice as reasonably practicable.

An existing Order will remain subject to the version accepted when it was confirmed unless the parties agree otherwise or law requires a change. Continued use after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance only where permitted by law. LegalHusk may require renewed express acceptance.

41. Notices and Company Information

Legal notices to LegalHusk must be sent to:

1. Legal name: Legal Husk
2. Trading name: LegalHusk
3. Business location: United States
4. General support: [email protected]
5. Legal notices: [email protected]
6. Website: https://legalhusk.com

LegalHusk may send notice to the email, account inbox, or address associated with a User's account. Notice is effective when delivered or, for email, when sent unless the sender receives a failure notice, subject to mandatory law.

42. General Terms

42.1 Order of Precedence

If documents conflict, mandatory law applies first, followed by an applicable regional addendum, the Engagement Agreement for Professional Services, the specific Order, these Terms, and referenced Platform policies. An Engagement Agreement cannot impose duties on LegalHusk unless LegalHusk separately agrees in writing.

42.2 Assignment

A User may not assign these Terms or an account without LegalHusk's prior written consent, except where mandatory law permits. LegalHusk may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, reorganization, financing, sale of substantially all relevant assets, or transfer to an affiliate, with notice where required.

42.3 Severability

If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remaining provisions will continue. If applicable law does not allow modification, the invalid provision will be severed.

42.4 No Waiver

A failure or delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver. A waiver must be in writing and applies only to the specific circumstance stated.

42.5 Entire Agreement

These Terms, the Privacy Notice, applicable regional addenda, Platform policies, and accepted Order terms constitute the agreement between a User and LegalHusk concerning Platform Services and replace prior discussions on that subject. The Client and Professional remain parties to their separate Engagement Agreement.

42.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries

Except as expressly stated, these Terms do not create rights for a person who is not a party. This does not affect rights that applicable law gives to another person.

42.7 Interpretation and Survival

Headings are for convenience. The words including and such as are illustrative and not limiting. Provisions concerning fees, records, intellectual property, liability, indemnity, disputes, and any term that by nature should survive will remain effective after account closure.

42.8 Electronic Records and Signatures

Electronic records, acceptance controls, signatures, notices, and Order confirmations may be used and have the legal effect permitted by the Delaware Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and other applicable electronic transaction law. LegalHusk will retain the accepted document version, account identifier, date and time, displayed disclosures, and affirmative acceptance event reasonably necessary to evidence assent. This clause does not waive a notarization, special signature, paper delivery, or separate consent requirement that applicable law makes mandatory.
