This is a legal agreement (“Agreement”) between you and Legal Fly, LLC, (“LegalFly”) an
Illinois corporation. By using this website (“www.legalfly.com”) or any Legal Fly applications
(“Applications”), including but not limited to mobile applications (“Mobile Application”), or
application plug-ins, you become a user (“User”) and agree to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement for as long as you continue to access this website (“Site”) and
LegalFly Applications. It is your responsibility to periodically review these terms prior to use,
including the Arbitration clause contained in section 4. Be advised that we may, at our own
discretion, change, modify, revise, add, or remove these terms of use (“Terms of Use” or
“Terms”) from time to time. User's use of the service after such Terms are posted will mean that
User accepts such Terms.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT USE THE
SITE OR THE SERVICES. YOU AGREE THAT BY USING THE SITE, ANY
APPLICATIONS, AND THE SERVICES YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE AND
YOU ARE LEGALLY ABLE TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT.
LegalFly is an online website and Mobile Application that matches users who are in need of a
quality attorney for a legal transaction or court appearance with attorneys who are looking for
clients for legal transactions and court appearances (“Services”). The Service is free for all
parties seeking legal services. At any time, LegalFly may, at its discretion, revise any Service
offered and cease to offer any Service at its own discretion. LegalFly will notify User of any
modifications to the Terms that will result in payment of additional fees. This Agreement, the
Terms, the Service and any modifications thereto may not be assigned or in any way transferred
without the prior written consent of LegalFly.
2. REPRESENTATIONS BY LAWYERS
LegalFly is not involved in the actual transaction between lawyers and Users and is not a referral
service. As a result, LegalFly has no control over the quality, safety, reliability or legality of the
services advertised, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of lawyers to provide services
or the ability of Users to purchase such services. We encourage Users to communicate directly
with lawyers or with third parties, such as the applicable Bar Association, to a degree sufficient
to establish the reliability of the lawyer. No lawyer will at any time represent that LegalFly
endorses a lawyer or his/her services. Users and lawyers should handle any disputes between
themselves. Because user identification on the Internet is difficult, LegalFly cannot and does not
confirm that each User is who they claim to be.
This Service is only available to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under
applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Service is not available to minors. A minor is
any individual under the age of eighteen (18). If you do not qualify, do not use the Service. Any
User of this Service represents that he or she accepts these Terms and intends to be personally
bound by the Terms or that he or she has been authorized to accept these Terms on behalf of a
company. If the User is not so authorized or does not intend to be personally bound, then User
should not use the Service. If User accepts these terms on behalf of an entity on whose behalf he
or she is authorized to act, User may use the Service only on behalf of such entity. If User
intends only to be personally bound, use of the Service is limited to User's personal use. Each
User represents that all information supplied by it is true and accurate. Without limitation, any
false or fraudulent legal service requests or responses to such requests are prohibited. LegalFly
may refuse its Service to anyone at any time or remove any User from the Service at any time, in
its sole discretion.
4. USER INFORMATION DISCLOSURE/PRIVACY
During registration, User will be asked to provide certain information. LegalFly may, at its own
discretion, disclose to third-parties certain aggregate information contained in such User's
registration application, but LegalFly will not disclose User's name, address, email address or
telephone number without User's express consent, except as required by law or as may be set
forth in LegalFly's Privacy Policy. Postings, and all other communication with LegalFly, are not
private. User grants LegalFly and its designees the unrestricted right to use, reproduce, modify,
translate, transmit and distribute any information or material User supplies or communicates to
the Service via such postings, in any medium now in existence or hereafter developed, for any
purpose, including commercial uses. Consult the LegalFly Privacy Policy for more details
regarding LegalFly's use and dissemination of registration and User information.
LegalFly specifically prohibits any use of the Service for unlawful purposes, and User agrees not
to use the Service for any unlawful purposes, or for posting any incomplete, false or inaccurate
information, or any obscene, indecent or offensive language or to place on the Service any
material that is false, defamatory, abusive, harassing or hateful. In addition, User agrees not to
alter, remove, or obscure any notices or markings from the Service, including all screen displays
and downloadable documentation, including without limitation, copyright, trademark, or
confidentiality notices, or ownership notices. User may not: (a) modify, translate, produce a
source listing, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Service or any portion thereof; (b)
create derivative versions of any part of the Service; (c) rent, transfer, distribute or grant any
rights in the Service in any form; or (d) use the Service for any purpose that LegalFly deems to
be inappropriate.
LegalFly may immediately issue a warning, temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or
terminate User's use of all or any portion of the Service if User breaches the Terms, or at any
time or for any reason, at the sole discretion of LegalFly.
7. ARBITRATION CLAUSE (read carefully)
Any dispute that arises from use of the LegalFly and its Services must first be resolved by
emailing our Customer Support at support@legalfly.com. In the unfortunate event that Customer
Support is unable to resolve your complaints, we each agree to resolve any disputes through
binding arbitration or in small claims court as opposed to resolving these disputes in a court of
general jurisdiction. Arbitrations are less formal and more cost effective means of dispute
resolution. By using LegalFly, we both agree to have the dispute heard by a neutral arbitrator
instead of a judge or jury, with limited discovery and limited review by courts. Any arbitration
under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are
not permitted. The same limitation rules shall apply to arbitration.
You and LegalFly agree that that any disputes arising out of or related to the Site, the Services,
this Agreement and/or any policies or practices of LegalFly (a “Dispute”) will be subject to
FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION.
You may speak with independent counsel before using this Site or completing any purchase.
Arbitration Agreement:
(a) LegalFly and you agree to participate in arbitration for all disputes not resolved by Customer
Support. The types of disputes we agree to arbitrate includes but is not limited to:
(i) claims arising out of any relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort,
(ii) claims that arising from any advertisement for LegalFly;
(iii) claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you
(iv) claims that may arise prior to the use of Services; and
(v) claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude your bringing issues to the attention of federal,
state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your
behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and LegalFly are each waiving the
right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms evidence a transaction or
website use in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the
interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision will survive
termination of these Terms.
8. LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES
The Website and application may contain links to Web sites operated by parties other than
LegalFly ("Third-Party"). LegalFly does not implicitly or explicitly endorse the products,
services or material on any Third-Party. LegalFly expressly disclaims all content, services and

purchased through the Service or any other representation, warranty or guaranty. LegalFly does a
background check of all lawyers to ascertain that they are admitted to practice in their particular
jurisdiction. Nonetheless, LegalFly does not warrant that lawyers are licensed or certified to
practice in any jurisdiction; nor does LegalFly make any warranty as to the results that may be
obtained from use of the Service or its content or as to the accuracy or reliability of any
information obtained through the use of the Service. The services are provided "as is" without
warranty of any kind. LegalFly, its licensors and suppliers expressly disclaim all warranties,
express or implied including but not limited to, the implied warranties of title, merchantability,
non-infringement, and fitness for a particular purpose. Neither LegalFly nor its licensors nor
suppliers warrant that the operation of the service will be uninterrupted, error free or without
breaches of security. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of limitation of implied
warranties, so in these jurisdictions the above limitations of exclusions may not apply to the user.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
User agrees that LegalFly will not be liable to User or any agent, representative or anyone acting
on behalf of the User for any damages arising out of the use of the Services. User agrees that all
incidental, consequential, unintended, indirect, or other damages will be the responsibility of

any attorney on LegalFly. User also agrees that LegalFly is not liable for any damages incurred
resulting from use of LegalFly including availability, quality, or accuracy of the Services, any
representations made by LegalFly or any third parties or attorneys. In applicable jurisdictions,
LegalFly’s aggregate liability arising out of these terms of the service shall be limited to one
hundred dollars ($100).
User understands and agrees that LegalFly does not endorse any attorney and no agency,
partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended
or created between User and LegalFly by the User’s use of the Services.
All notices should be sent to support@legalfly.com.
14. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNING LAWS
User agrees to comply with all U.S. and local laws, ordinances, statutes, or any other binding and
applicable law and assumes sole responsibility for compliance. The terms of this Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with the substantive laws of each state the User is located in
along with the law of the United States of America, without giving effect to the principles of
conflict or choice of law of such state. Each user consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue
of courts in Cook County, Illinois, U.S.A., in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of
this Service. The parties hereby waive any statute, law, or regulation that might provide an
alternative forum.
Any provision of the Terms found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any court having
competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will
not in any way be affected or impaired and will remain valid, legal, and enforceable provisions.
No waiver of any of the Terms shall be deemed a waiver of any other Terms.
The Terms constitute the entire agreement between User and LegalFly. No previous
communication, advertisement, or prior agreements take precedence over this agreement, unless
otherwise consented to by written agreement signed by both parties.
