Last Modified: May 2023
Acceptance of the Terms of Use
These terms are entered into between you and Sedhom Law Group, PLLC (“SLG” or “us”). The following terms and conditions, along with any document they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, the “Terms of Use”) govern your access to and use of https://www.bespokelawfirm.com/ (the “Website”), including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through the Website.
Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you use the Website. By using the Website, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you don’t want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Website.
This Website is offered and available to users who are at least 18 years old and reside in the United States or any of its territories or possessions. By using the Website, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with SLG and meet all of our other eligibility requirements. If you don’t, then you must not access or use the Website.
Changes to the Terms of Use
We may revise or update these Terms of Use in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them; they will apply to all access to and use of the Website after that time. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions of the Governing Law and Jurisdiction sections of these Terms of Use will not apply to disputes for which the parties have actual notice before the date the change is posted to the Website.
Your use of the Website after we post revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You should check this page from time to time so that you’re aware of any changes—remember, they are binding upon you from the moment we post them.
Accessing the Website; Account Security
We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Website and any service or material we provide on it; we may do so in our sole discretion and without notice. We will not be liable if, for any reason and at any time, any part of the Website is unavailable. In addition, we may restrict access to some parts of the Website to registered users.
You’re responsible for:
- making all arrangements necessary for you to access the Website; and
- ensuring that anyone who accesses the Website through your internet connection is aware of, and complies with, these Terms of Use.
You may need to provide certain registration details or other information to access the Website or some of its resources. All such information must be correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide to register with or use the Website is governed by our Privacy Policy. In addition, you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information, so long as our actions are consistent with the Privacy Policy.
If you choose or are provided with a user name, password, or any other information as part of our security procedures, then you must treat that information as confidential—do not disclose it to anyone else. Because your account is personal to you, and you agree not to provide anyone else with access to this Website using your user name, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your user name or password, or any other breach of security.
You should exit from your account at the end of each session. You should also exercise caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that other cannot view or record your personal information.
We have the right to disable any user name, password, or other identifier at any time if we believe you have violated any provision of these Terms of Use.
