LEGAL ADVISORS.

Legal Advisors are independent legal professionals who offer advisory services to potential Clients. They are not employees of “LEXLINKER.”

A. There is no attorney-client relationship through the use of the website. The use of the “LEXLINKER” site cannot form an attorney-client relationship with the Legal Advisors. The information published or made available on or through the website, including but not limited to, any responses to legal questions posted on the website, information in the “LEXLINKER” guides and documents, publicly posted information on the website, or information sent in an unsolicited message to a User, is not intended to be legal advice, is not confidential, and does not create an employment and/or attorney-client relationship. It is considered user-generated content.

B. Attorney-client relationship through the use of the “LEXLINKER” site. An attorney-client relationship can only be formed through the use of the website between Legal Advisors and clients. Clients may post service requests through the website. Legal Advisors may submit offers and negotiate the details of these services before acceptance. Upon acceptance, the scope of a Legal Advisor's representation is strictly limited to the matter agreed upon in the offer, unless the Client and the Legal Advisor subsequently formalize their agreement through a signed engagement letter or other written agreement, in which case the most recent written agreement would take precedence over a previously accepted proposal. An offer is not a substitute for in-person or telephone advice from an attorney licensed to practice in your jurisdiction on your specific legal issue, and you should not rely on the information contained in an offer as legal advice. “LEXLINKER” makes all reasonable efforts to ensure the privacy of offers and other personal messages on the website, but confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. Communications requiring confidentiality should take place off the “LEXLINKER” website, for example, by phone.

C. Responsibilities of the Legal Advisor. Legal Advisors are solely responsible for ensuring that any information, requests, or advertisements they post or place on the website, including among others user-generated content, and any communication they may have with potential Clients through “LEXLINKER,” fully comply with all applicable laws and professional conduct rules, including those relating to the unauthorized practice of law, and those regulating the form or content of communications with Clients, advertising, or other matters.

D. Payment to Legal Advisors.“LEXLINKER” is not a party to the contracts. Clients may contract with Legal Advisors through the posting and acceptance of services. Such contracts are solely between the Client and the Legal Advisor. “LEXLINKER” will not be a party to any service contract submitted through our website unless it is posted by an official of “LEXLINKER.” “LEXLINKER” facilitates these contracts by providing a platform for communication management and payment tools.

All legal fees are paid to the Legal Advisors; “LEXLINKER” does not provide legal services and does not charge for legal services. Payments made to Legal Advisors through the “LEXLINKER” billing platform are transferred directly to the Legal Advisor’s payment account, less any service and associated processing fees, (e.g., credit card fees).

Legal Advisors will receive payment through the website for all User transactions. As a Legal Advisor using “LEXLINKER,” you agree to process all retainers, invoices, and all amounts billed to any legal Client at all times, on the “LEXLINKER” platform. The Legal Advisor agrees to process such payments through the “LEXLINKER” platform, even if Clients ask them to undertake a task or matter different from the service request posted through “LEXLINKER.” If a Client does not wish or cannot make a payment through “LEXLINKER,” the Legal Advisor agrees to notify “LEXLINKER” of any new payment arrangement. Payment by a Client to a Legal Advisor made outside the service without prior notification to “LEXLINKER” constitutes a total waiver by both parties of any “LEXLINKER” payment guarantee or dispute protection, even to the extent that they may be related to previous payments made within the website.

E. Subscription to “LEXLINKER” membership. The User agrees to membership subscription fees in connection with their use of the “LEXLINKER” website.

F. Promotional Codes and Credits. “LEXLINKER” may, at its sole discretion, create promotional codes that may be redeemed for account credit or other features or benefits related to a Legal Advisor’s services, subject to the following terms and any additional terms that “LEXLINKER” establishes on a per-promotional code basis. Certain specific terms govern Legal Advisors and payment.

The use of promotional codes does not imply an attorney-client relationship. From time to time, clients may have access to discounts provided by “LEXLINKER” that partly use “LEXLINKER” funds to pay a portion of the legal fees paid by Clients to Legal Advisors. The use of such coupons does not imply any attorney-client relationship between “LEXLINKER” and Legal Advisors, where a coupon is used for any billing paid by a Client.

Promotional codes must be used by their intended audience for the intended purpose and legally.

Promotional codes may not be duplicated, sold, or transferred in any way, nor made available to the general public, (whether posted in a public forum or otherwise) unless expressly permitted by “LEXLINKER.” Promotional codes have no cash value and may expire or be deactivated by “LEXLINKER” at any time, for any reason, before their use. “LEXLINKER” reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or other features or benefits obtained through the use of promotional codes by the User, in the event that “LEXLINKER” determines or believes that the use or redemption of the promotional code was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable promotional code terms.

DISINTERMEDIATION POLICIES AND RATES

The parties acknowledge that “LEXLINKER” uses substantial labor and effort to connect the Client with the Legal Advisors of “LEXLINKER”. The Client declares and guarantees that they will not circumvent nor attempt to circumvent “LEXLINKER” or this agreement, nor in any way acquire legal services from a Legal Advisor who is a User of “LEXLINKER” outside the “LEXLINKER” platform without the prior written consent of “LEXLINKER”. In the event that the Client breaches their guarantee in this section, the Client will pay “LEXLINKER” a single fee equal to or greater than 1) 25% of the estimated annual compensation of the Client’s Legal Advisor, or 2) $70,000.00 National Currency Pesos. Upon payment of the fees mentioned above in this section, “LEXLINKER” will provide written consent for the Legal Advisor to provide their legal services to the Client outside the “LEXLINKER” platform.

TERMINATION

All duties, obligations, and legal, contractual, and ethical responsibilities survive the termination of the “LEXLINKER” relationship.

D. Some provisions survive termination. All provisions of this agreement that by their nature should survive termination will do so, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

PAYMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS

A. Payment process. Payment will be processed as specified in the proposal and/or invoice and will be agreed upon by the Client and the Legal Advisor. When a service (or a segment thereof, as previously agreed in writing by the Client and the Legal Advisor) is marked as completed by the Legal Advisor, “LEXLINKER” will inform the Client that the service (or a segment thereof as previously agreed in writing by the client and the Legal Advisor) is complete. The Client must pay the agreed amount or request changes. If the Client has not taken any action after 24 hours, “LEXLINKER” has the right to charge their credit card, bank account, or Paypal account for the full amount of the agreed fee or undisputed invoice, including applicable service or processing fees. The Client may submit disputes about payment to contacto@lexlinker.com as long as they comply with the conditions set out in the section on dispute resolution procedure for client and Legal Advisor.

By using the “LEXLINKER” site, the Client agrees to pay the Legal Advisor through “LEXLINKER” the amount agreed upon in the offer or undisputed invoice, and associated service and processing fees, unless they dispute the invoice by sending an email to contacto@lexlinker.com and adhering to the conditions established in the section on dispute resolution procedure for client and Legal Advisor. The Client is responsible for providing “LEXLINKER” with a valid means of payment.

The User authorizes “LEXLINKER” to charge them the amount owed to any Legal Advisor through the website, as well as any applicable service and processing fees. To avoid doubt, in the case that in a particular case a Legal Advisor only uses the website to invoice you for legal services that are not the subject of an offer, by registering your credit card or PayPal account on “LEXLINKER” or on our third-party payment processor, you acknowledge and accept that the established payment conditions will apply.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE

In the event that a Client has a good faith belief that the nature or quality of the legal services provided by the Legal Advisor in connection with the relevant work are not consistent with industry standards, or the provisions of the related offer or these terms and conditions or the amounts billed for the legal services provided by said Legal Advisor, are not consistent with such offer, they will be allowed to withhold the payment of any amount in dispute that is the subject of such matter, subject to the following terms and conditions:

A. Within 24 hours following the date of the related invoice, the client will provide written notice to “LEXLINKER” setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances that are the basis of the matter in dispute related to the services. The fact that the client does not send a service-related dispute notice within the client dispute notice period shall constitute the permanent waiver of said client to their right to dispute the withheld payment amounts, which amounts will be charged to the legal party’s credit card to the PayPal account or other approved payment methods in accordance with these terms of use.

B. In the event that the client submits a service-related dispute notice within the legal dispute notice period of the client and such request contains the information set forth as set forth in these terms and conditions, “LEXLINKER” will attempt in good faith to work on the Client and the Legal Advisor for a period of up to 15 calendar days from the date of the service-related dispute notification to resolve the service-related dispute matter. In the event that the service-related dispute matter is successfully resolved within the service-related dispute matter mediation period, each of the legal clients, the verified advisor user, and if applicable, “LEXLINKER” will take the agreed steps to execute the agreed resolution.

C. In the event that the service-related dispute matter remains unresolved at the end of the service-related dispute matter mediation period, no later than the 14th calendar day after the end of the service-related dispute matter mediation period, LEXLINKER will make a determination at its sole and absolute discretion and based on the information provided so far by the client and the verified Legal Advisor as to whether the nature and quality of the legal services provided in connection with the work that is the subject of the service-related matter were consistent with industry standards, the provisions of the related offer, and these terms and conditions. In the event that “LEXLINKER” decides the service-related dispute matter in favor of the verified Legal Advisor, the client will be obliged to make the payment of the withheld payment amounts to said advisor user within a period of seven calendar days following the date on which said client has been notified in writing of the decision of the service-related dispute matter by “LEXLINKER”. In the event that the client does not make the payment on time, “LEXLINKER” will remit the amounts of withheld payments to the verified advisor user, who will assign their refund rights of such amounts to “LEXLINKER”, who may at its sole discretion process the payment in accordance with these terms and conditions and choose to exercise its rights and remedies against the client.

D. In the event that “LEXLINKER” decides the service-related dispute matter in favor of the Client, the Client will no longer be obliged to make the payment of the withheld payment amounts to the verified Legal Advisor and will be deemed to have assigned all their rights with respect to the service-related dispute matter to “LEXLINKER”, in such case it will be deemed that the Legal Advisor has waived their rights to claim such amounts from the client and will have the right to initiate binding arbitration proceedings with respect to the withheld payment amounts against “LEXLINKER”, which are equivalent to the proceedings established in this section to provide “LEXLINKER” with written notification of exercise of such right within 10 calendar days following the date of the decision notification on service-related dispute matters. In the event that the verified Legal Advisor does not exercise their right to initiate an arbitration procedure during the service-related arbitration choice period, they will be deemed to have permanently waived their right to the payment of the withheld payment amounts.
