• Order Acceptance and Cancellation.

  You agree that any purchase of Services through the Website is subject to the posted version of these Conditions in effect at the time your order is placed. Upon providing a valid method or payment for a Service, you will be provided with access to that Service, whether that constitutes a document download, registration for a future online class or webinar, or other paid Service offered on the Website. Lexcela offers many educational and informational Services without charge to registered Website users. You may cancel any registration or request a refund for Services at any time by emailing us at info@lexcela.com, subject to the policy on refunds described below.

  When purchasing a prepared document on Lexcela, or registering or enrolling in any webinar or online class that may be offered through the Website, you agree that: (i) you are responsible for reading the full description of such Service, including all disclaimers or limitations, before making a commitment to buy it; and (ii) you intend to enter into a legally-binding contract to purchase the prepared document or right to participate in the webinar or online class when you submit the online registration form and/or complete the check-out payment process, as applicable.

• Cancellation and Refund Policy.

  Once you complete the check-out payment process, you may request a refund for any document prepared for you by the Lexcela website that does not meet your reasonable satisfaction. Documents for which refunds are requested may not be used, copied, posted online, or disseminated in any other way and remain subject to all copyrights and other rights owned by Lexcela. You may withdraw your enrollment in any separately-paid webinar or online class and receive a full refund if you contact us not less than 24 hours prior to the time the webinar or online class is scheduled to begin. Webinar and online class sizes may be limited, and cancellations less than 24 hours prior to the start time of the webinar or online class do not provide sufficient time for vacated seats to be filled. For this reason, no refunds will be given, nor make-up or substitute classes offered, for “no shows” or cancellations given less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled start time of the webinar or class. If you desire to move your registration from the class you purchased to a class offered at another time, you must cancel the original class in accordance with this paragraph and newly enroll in the alternate class.

  If we must cancel any scheduled webinar or online class, which may do for any reason or no reason in our sole discretion, we will give you as much advance notice as possible under the circumstances. We will promptly provide a full refund of the amount you paid for the cancelled webinar or online class.

• Disclaimer of Warranties.

  THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES ABROGATES SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, BUT YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

  ALL SERVICES PROVIDED ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE ARE FOR EDUCATIONAL OR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS. ALL WARRANTIES NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN ARE FULLY AND FINALLY DISCLAIMED, WHETHER SUCH WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY OPERATION OF LAW, USAGE OR CUSTOM OF TRADE. SERVICES ARE NOT WARRANTED AS TO QUALITY OR QUANTITY OF CONTENT. THE SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED TO, AND DO NOT, CONSTITUTE LEGAL SERVICES. NO LEGAL REPRESENTATION IS ESTABLISHED BETWEEN YOU AND LEXCELA BY YOUR ORDER, REGISTRATION FOR, OR PARTICIPATION IN ANY SERVICE. WHEN PROVIDED, QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSIONS, CHAT, EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE AND THE LIKE ARE NOT CONFIDENTIAL, AND ANY SUCH COMMUNICATIONS DO NOT ESTABLISH, QUALIFY FOR, NOR SUBJECT SUCH COMMUNICATIONS TO THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE. IF YOU INQUIRE ABOUT FORMAL LEGAL REPRESENTATION BY LEXCELA, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DECLINE TO REPRESENT ANYONE ON ANY MATTER FOR ANY REASON. LEGAL REPRESENTATION CAN ONLY BE ESTABLISHED THROUGH A FORMAL, WRITTEN ENGAGEMENT LETTER EXECUTED BETWEEN YOU AND LEXCELA.

  IN THE ABSENCE OF A WRITTEN ENGAGEMENT LETTER DULY-EXECUTED BY YOU AND LEXCELA, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY LEXCELA ARE NOT LEGAL SERVICES, LEXCELA IS A COMPLETELY SEPARATE SERVICE FROM ANY OTHER SERVICE THAT MAY BE OFFERED BY LEXCELA, AND YOU HAVE NOT USED, REGISTERED FOR, OR ENROLLED IN ANY SERVICE OFFERED ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN LEGAL ADVICE. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE (A) ANY AND ALL RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE TO RELY ON LEGAL INFORMATION THAT MAY BE PROVIDED IN, THROUGH, OR BY ANY OF THE SERVICES, (B) CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST LEXCELA REGARDING LEGAL REPRESENTATION, THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP, OR CONTINUED LEGAL REPRESENTATION, AND (C) ALL PRIVILEGES KNOWN OR UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF WAIVER, INCLUDING THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE AND EXPECTATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY, WHETHER PROVIDED UNDER LAW OR OTHERWISE. THE SERVICES OFFER NON-DISCRETIONAL DOCUMENT PREPARATION AND GENERAL EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL CONTENT ONLY. YOUR REGISTRATION WITH THE WEBSITE CONSTITUTES YOUR EXPRESS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP IS OR WILL BE FORMED BETWEEN YOU AND LEXCELA WHEN YOU USE, REGISTER FOR, OR PARTICIPATE IN A SERVICE. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO MAKE THE EXPRESS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH, DO NOT USE, REGISTER FOR, ENROLL OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY SERVICE. ALLEGATIONS THAT YOUR REGISTRATION TO THE WEBSITE, USE OF WEBSITE RESOURCES, OR PARTICIPATION IN A WEBINAR OR ONLINE CLASS FAILED TO ANSWER OR ADDRESS YOUR SPECIFIC LEGAL ISSUES WILL NOT BE GROUNDS FOR A REFUND, AND ANY SUCH FAILURE IS NOT A DEFECT.

  THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES APPLIES TO ALL USERS OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING AUTHORIZED USERS AND ANY USERS GAINING ACCESS TO THE SERVICES WITHOUT REGISTRATION, ENROLLMENT, OR OTHER RIGHT OR LICENSE.

  THIS SECTION ON DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES SETS OUT OUR ENTIRE OBLIGATION AND LIABILITY TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES AND YOUR USE OF LEXCELA.

THE INFORMATION AND MATERIALS OFFERED AS PART OF THE SERVICES ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE, INCLUDING THROUGH INTERACTIVE DOCUMENTS, CHAT, WEBINARS AND ONLINE CLASSES, DO NOT CONSTITUTE, AND ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR, LEGAL ADVICE.

  SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. ALL LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 5 ARE APPLICABLE TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
