Terms Of Use

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between Startlaw Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Startlaw Inc.," "we," "us," or "our"), and you (the "user" or "you"), governing your access to and use of the Start.Law platform, including the website, client portal, and related technology and operational services offered by Startlaw Inc. (collectively, the "Platform").

Scope of These Terms

These Terms govern your access to and use of the Platform only. They do not govern the provision of legal services or the attorney-client relationship. Legal services are provided by Startlaw PLLC, a New York professional service limited liability company ("Startlaw PLLC"), under a separate written Engagement Agreement between Startlaw PLLC and the client, which controls all matters relating to legal representation, including scope, fees, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, file management, and termination of representation. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Engagement Agreement, the Engagement Agreement controls with respect to legal services. Bookkeeping, tax, and accounting services, where applicable, are provided by Startlaw Inc. under a separate written Accounting Services Agreement, which controls all matters relating to those services. Startlaw PLLC and Startlaw Inc. are separate entities.

Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing or using the Platform, you are accepting these Terms and you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to do so. If you do not agree with all of the provisions of these Terms, do not access the Platform. You may not accept these Terms unless you are at least 18 years old.

Changes to These Terms

From time to time, Startlaw Inc. may modify these Terms. If such a modification is made, Startlaw Inc. will notify you by email or by posting the updated Terms on the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.

Privacy Policy

We respect your privacy. Please refer to our Privacy Policy, linked in the footer of our website (the "Site"), which explains how we collect, use, and disclose information that pertains to your privacy. When you access or use the Platform, you signify your agreement to the Privacy Policy.

Inaccuracies on the Site

Despite our best efforts, the Site may occasionally contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. While we strive to maintain accurate and up-to-date information on the Site, it is possible that a rule or procedural change may not yet be reflected on the Site. We shall not be liable for any failure to update the Site with any such changes.

Accessibility

We are committed to providing access to all individuals, with or without disabilities, seeking information on our Site. In evaluating and planning for accessibility, we will comply with the standards of the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA and the Web Accessibility Initiative Accessible Rich Internet Applications Suite (WAI-ARIA) 1.0 for web-based content. If, because of a disability, you are unable to access content on our Site, have questions about the accessibility of content or technology we use, or would like to report barriers to accessing any technology we use, please contact us at office@start.law.

Account Creation and Responsibilities

In order to use the Platform, you will need to register for an account with us ("your Account") and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the registration form. You represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; and (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use, of your Account or any other breach of security. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

Subscription and Billing

Start.Law offers three plans:

• Incorporation. A one-time service for $500, delivered by Startlaw PLLC under a single Engagement Agreement.
• Legal. A monthly subscription that includes ongoing legal services and bookkeeping.
• Legal + Accounting. A monthly subscription that includes ongoing legal services, bookkeeping, and tax and accounting services.

When you subscribe to the Legal or Legal + Accounting plan, you enter into two separate written agreements at the time of subscription: an Engagement Agreement with Startlaw PLLC, which governs all matters relating to legal services, and an Accounting Services Agreement with Startlaw Inc., which governs all matters relating to bookkeeping, tax, and accounting services. Each agreement is between you and the entity providing those services, and each entity is independently responsible for the services it provides.

Subscription fees are presented to you as a single monthly amount and are processed through our payment processor. The monthly fee is allocated between the two entities at the time of processing: the portion attributable to legal services is paid to Startlaw PLLC, and the portion attributable to bookkeeping, tax, and accounting services is paid to Startlaw Inc. Each entity issues its own invoice for the portion of the fee it receives. The allocation is reflected in your Engagement Agreement and your Accounting Services Agreement.

Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle, typically every thirty (30) days, until cancellation in accordance with these Terms. Subscriptions cannot be paused.

The terms of refund, termination, and dispute resolution applicable to legal services, including the refund of any unearned legal fees, are governed exclusively by your Engagement Agreement with Startlaw PLLC. The terms of refund, termination, and dispute resolution applicable to bookkeeping, tax, and accounting services are governed exclusively by your Accounting Services Agreement with Startlaw Inc. Nothing in these Terms limits, modifies, or supersedes the terms of those agreements.

Payment of subscription fees does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only upon execution of a written Engagement Agreement with Startlaw PLLC.

Payment Information

You are responsible for all fees associated with your use of the Platform. You are responsible for providing us with a valid means of payment. All information that you provide in connection with a purchase or transaction must be accurate, complete, and current. You must keep current payment information on file with us. You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred.

Payment Processor

We use a third-party payment processor (the "Payment Processor") to bill you through a payment account linked to your Account. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the Payment Processor, in addition to these Terms. Our current Payment Processor is Stripe, and your payments are processed by Stripe in accordance with Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We do not control and are not liable for the security or performance of the Payment Processor.

Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription by emailing us at office@start.law. Cancellation procedures and any refund of unearned fees applicable to legal services are governed by your Engagement Agreement. Cancellation procedures and any refund of unearned fees applicable to bookkeeping, tax, and accounting services are governed by your Accounting Services Agreement.

Third Party Sites, Ads and Ad Networks

We may provide you with links to third party websites ("Third-Party Sites") as well as content or items belonging to or originating from third parties (the "Third-Party Applications, Software, or Content"). These links are provided as a courtesy. We have no control over Third-Party Sites and Third-Party Applications, Software, or Content or the promotions, materials, information, goods, or services available on them. If you decide to leave the Site and access the Third-Party Sites or to use or install any Third-Party Applications, Software, or Content, you do so at your own risk and you should be aware that our terms and policies no longer govern. You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any site to which you navigate from the Site or relating to any applications you use or install from the Site.

You are permitted to link to our Site for noncommercial purposes, provided that you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation.

Copyright Policy

We respect the intellectual property of others and ask that users of our Platform do the same. In connection with our Site and in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), we have adopted and implemented a policy respecting copyright laws that provides for the removal of any infringing materials. If you believe that we are unlawfully infringing the copyright(s) in a work, and wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed, please provide the following information to us: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim to have been infringed; identification of the material on our Platform that you claim is infringing and that you request us to remove; sufficient information to permit us to locate such material; your address, telephone number, and email address; a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the objectionable material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or under the law; and a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are either the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner. Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any misrepresentation of material fact in a written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs, and attorneys' fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms limits, modifies, or supersedes the responsibilities of any lawyer or law firm to a client under applicable rules of professional conduct, and any limitation of liability with respect to legal services is governed exclusively by the Engagement Agreement and applicable law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for personal injury, fraud, or willful misconduct, or any other liability that may not lawfully be limited.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent to the greatest extent possible.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other documents incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Startlaw Inc. with respect to your use of the Platform and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, agreements, and proposals, whether oral or written, between you and Startlaw Inc. with respect to the Platform. The Engagement Agreement and the Accounting Services Agreement, where applicable, are independent agreements that govern legal services and accounting services, respectively, and are not superseded by these Terms.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Startlaw Inc. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section is void.

Survival

The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including the provisions on Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Severability, Entire Agreement, Assignment, Notices, Dispute Resolution, and any accrued payment obligations.

Dispute Resolution and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to these Terms, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its principles relating to conflicts of law. Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
