LIMITED PURPOSE TOTALLEGAL IS NOT A LAW FIRM, AND THE EMPLOYEES OF TOTALLEGAL MAY NOT AND ARE NOT ACTING AS YOUR ATTORNEY. TOTALLEGAL DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY. YOU ARE PROHIBITED FROM USING, RELYING UPON OR CONSTRUING ANY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE WEBSITE AS LEGAL ADVICE. YOU MUST CONTACT AN ATTORNEY IN YOUR JURISDICTION IF YOU SEEK LEGAL ADVICE IN ANY FORM OR FOR ANY PURPOSE. TotalLegal provides a document self-preparation product for individuals who choose to prepare their own legal documents for use in various capacities including, but not limited to, estate planning. This website does not provide legal services and is not a document preparation service. TotalLegal is not a lawyer or law firm, and your use of TotalLegal does not create an attorney-client relationship or privilege. TotalLegal uses the responses and answers provided by the user in an online interview to automatically generate a set of forms. The documents the user prepares using TotalLegal are then shipped to the user with general instructions on the filing process. At no time do we review the answers and responses provided by the user in the online interview for legal sufficiency, nor do we draw legal conclusions, provide advice, or apply the law to the facts of the user's particular situation. Instead, you are and will be representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake relating to your use of TotalLegal. You are solely responsible for your own responses, selections and actions and for independently determining whether the documents and filing instructions provided by TotalLegal comply with the laws, regulations and rules of your applicable jurisdiction. TotalLegal may include legal information or general statements of the law for informational purposes only. Legal information by itself is often insufficient to resolve legal problems and may not apply to the user’s individual circumstances. The requirements for preparing a proper legal document vary depending on local, state and federal laws, regulations, and the court’s interpretation in the user’s jurisdiction. We cannot guarantee that all of the information provided by TotalLegal is completely current or correct. Because of changes in the law, variations between and within jurisdictions, and different interpretations of the law, you are urged to consult a licensed attorney in his or her state if you require legal advice or if you have any questions concerning the applicability of the TotalLegal product to your particular circumstances. 3.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES AND INCLUDES A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AS SET FORTH BELOW. Most user issues can be resolved informally by contacting TotalLegal customer service by e-mail at info@TotalLegal.com. However, if you have a dispute with TotalLegal, and you are unable to resolve the dispute informally, you and TotalLegal agree that upon demand by either you or TotalLegal, the dispute will be resolved through binding arbitration. A “dispute” is any unresolved disagreement between you and TotalLegal, regardless of when the claim arose, and includes claims based on contracts, torts, statutes, regulations, common law, and equitable claims. All statutes of limitation applicable to any dispute shall apply in any arbitration between you and TotalLegal. YOU AND LEGACY WRITER AGREE THAT YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE IN COURT. You and TotalLegal further agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and that neither you nor TotalLegal shall be entitled to join or consolidate claims by or against others in any arbitration, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or on behalf of the general public, or as a private attorney general. If this limitation is found to be unenforceable, it shall not be severable, and this entire arbitration provision shall be unenforceable. You and TotalLegal agree that the arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the party seeking relief, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. In the event of any inconsistency between this arbitration provision and any provision contained in any other applicable Guidelines, disclaimer or privacy policy relating to TotalLegal, this arbitration provision shall control. Each arbitration, including the selection of the arbitrator, will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) according to its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedure for Consumer-Related Disputes (together, the “AAA Rules”). The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. In the event of any inconsistency between the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision, this arbitration provision shall control. Either party may demand arbitration of a dispute at any time, regardless of whether a lawsuit or other proceeding has previously been commenced. Either party may demand arbitration by completing the form for Consumer-Related Disputes provided for that purpose, and following the instructions on the form. The form is available on the AAA’s website, www.adr.org, or by calling AAA Case Filing Services at 1-877-495-4185. You should attach a copy of this arbitration provision, which will remain available online. If you demand arbitration, you must send a copy of the form or other demand, by U.S. Certified Mail or other overnight, traceable courier, addressed to: TotalLegal, 12951 NE Bel-Red Road, Suite 180, Bellevue, Washington 98005. If TotalLegal demands arbitration, you will be sent a copy of the form or other demand, by U.S. Certified Mail or other overnight, traceable courier at the most current postal address that TotalLegal has for you in its records. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, each party will remain solely responsible for their own attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration. You and TotalLegal agree that: (1) the parties are participating in transactions affecting interstate commerce; (2) this arbitration provision and any resulting arbitration are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code); (3) the arbitrator shall decide any dispute regarding the interpretation, application, or enforceability of this arbitration provision; (4) neither party will disclose, to any third party, any information obtained from the other party in the arbitration proceeding, except as required by applicable law; and (5) neither party will be entitled to rely on any arbitration award, finding of fact, or conclusion of law issued in any other arbitration proceeding involving only one of the parties. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of any other contract between you and TotalLegal. 12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY BY USING THIS SITE, YOU AGREE, ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF, YOUR ESTATE, YOUR HEIRS AND ASSIGNS, TO RELEASE AND HOLD HARMLESS TOTALLEGAL, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SUBCONTRACTORS, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS FROM ALL LIABILITY RESULTING FROM, OR ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE TOTALLEGAL WEBSITE, ITS CONTENT OR THE TOTALLEGAL SERVICES. IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH SAYS: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR." UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL TOTALLEGAL, ITS AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTENT PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, AND DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY OR DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INCIDENTAL, DIRECT, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER DAMAGES, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES, EVEN IF TOTALLEGAL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Applicable law may not allow for the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you. Therefore, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COLLECTIVE LIABILITY OF TOTALLEGAL AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTENT PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, AND DIRECTORS TO ANY PARTY (REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO TOTALLEGAL FOR THE APPLICABLE MATERIALS OR SERVICES OUT OF WHICH LIABILITY AROSE. ANY LEGAL ACTION AGAINST TOTALLEGAL MUST BE BROUGHT IN KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM AROSE OR IT IS FOREVER BARRED. 13. INDEMNITY You agree to indemnify, defend and hold TotalLegal, its subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, content providers, service providers, employees, agents, officers, directors, and contractors (the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any claim or threatened claim, loss, damages, judgments, awards, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from (A) any breach of these Terms of Use by you, including any use of content other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use; (B) your use of TotalLegal, including any work or documents downloaded, transmitted or received by you; and (C) any libelous, slanderous, indecent or other statement concerning any person made or republished by you. 14.

WAIVER No failure on the part of TotalLegal to enforce any part of these Terms of Use and no action on the part of TotalLegal shall constitute a waiver of any of TotalLegal’s rights under these Terms of Use whether for past or future actions on the part of any person, provided, however, that only a specific, written waiver signed by an authorized representative of TotalLegal shall have the legal effect of a waiver. 19. SEVERABILITY If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed modified or limited only to the extent necessary to bring it within a legal requirement or will be severable from the Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the Terms of Use. 20.
