- Terms of Use governing the Site and general website activity
- Notices and disclosures, including the Privacy Notice, Legal Disclaimers Notice, Affiliate Disclosure Notice and Copyright Notice.

GPT-8.6 Recordings and Transcripts
Where permitted by law, calls and Chats may be recorded and stored and may be transcribed. We may provide notice when Recording or transcription is used. Continuing the call or Chat after notice constitutes consent where permitted. If you do not consent, do not use the recorded channel and request an alternative method where available.
GPT-8.7 Messaging via SMS and WhatsApp
If you provide a phone number or initiate messaging through SMS or WhatsApp, you authorize communications to that number or account regarding your inquiry, your matter or related administrative purposes. Message frequency may vary. Standard message and data rates may apply. You can opt out of SMS by replying STOP where that functionality is supported. WhatsApp communications may be governed by WhatsApp's own terms and settings.
GPT-8.8 Transactional vs marketing messages

If an AI Agent is used in Chat or other Site features, it may provide general information, summaries or suggested responses and it may be incomplete, inaccurate or inappropriate for your situation. AI Agent output is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as legal advice. An AI Agent is an automated program and is not a lawyer or employee of the firm. If you need legal advice, you must consult an attorney through an accepted engagement. If an AI Agent response appears to be legal advice, treat it as general information only and contact us for clarification.
GPT-9.6 Responsible AI use
We may use safeguards and human review processes to reduce risk, improve accuracy and protect confidentiality. However, no automated system is error-free and you should not rely on automated outputs for legal decisions.

GPT-10.1 Notices control
Our handling of Personal Information is described in the Privacy Notice and related Notices in the Policy Center.
GPT-10.2 Confidentiality boundaries before engagement
Before we accept representation, do not assume that communications through the Site create attorney-client privilege. Where Professional Obligations apply to Prospective Client communications, they apply as required by law and ethics rules.
GPT-10.3 Sensitive Information and PHI boundaries
Do not submit Sensitive Information or PHI through public website forms, Telecommunications Features or general website communications. Unless we accept representation and provide a designated secure method, you should assume public Site features and Third-Party Services used to operate them are not intended for PHI and may not be HIPAA-compliant or covered by a business associate agreement.
GPT-10.4 Security disclaimer
We use reasonable safeguards, but no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed secure. Security risks may arise from sender-side issues, Third-Party Services or other factors outside our control.
GPT-10.5 Health information and HIPAA stance
We are not your healthcare provider or health plan and the Site, public forms and Telecommunications Features are not intended for submitting PHI. If a matter requires handling health-related records under specific safeguards, we will address the method of transmission and handling through designated channels and, where applicable, written agreements.
GPT-11.0 Third-Party Services and Links
GPT-11.1 Third-Party Links
Third-Party Links are provided for convenience. We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, policies or practices.

The Site and Services may be unavailable from time to time due to maintenance, updates, Third-Party Services issues or other factors.

GPT-14.2 Enforcement
We may investigate suspected violations and may restrict, suspend or terminate access to the Site or Services to protect Users, systems, data or our rights.
GPT-15.0 Submissions, Feedback and Records
GPT-15.1 Submissions
You are responsible for Submissions you provide. You represent that you have the right to provide them and that they do not violate law or third-party rights.
GPT-15.2 Feedback
If you provide Feedback, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use it without obligation, subject to applicable law and confidentiality obligations.
GPT-15.3 Recordkeeping
We may retain records as required by law, Professional Obligations or our reasonable business practices. We do not promise indefinite retention or availability of any specific record through the Site or Services.
GPT-16.0 Disputes
Given the gravity, cost, disruption, litigative nature of people and misuse of our current justice system, We place a high priority on resolving conflicts from a Biblical perspective including, and not limited to, adhering to the directive in 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 wherein Paul the Apostle clearly states that Believers in Yeshua, the resurrected Son of God, should not take each other to public court over personal or professional disputes. As such, we have structured this section with three sections: Dispute Resolution Order, Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
Dispute Resolution Order
GPT-16.1 Negotiation Conference
Before initiating any formal process, the parties will participate in a good faith Negotiation Conference. Prior to or during this process, it will be critical to ascertain the religious beliefs and faith of the parties to comply with the divine order for dispute resolutions. Additionally, each party will ensure a decision-maker with authority to resolve the Dispute participates in the Negotiation Conference. The Negotiation Conference will occur within 10 Business Days after one party provides written notice of the Dispute to the other.
GPT-16.2 Mediation Session
If the Dispute is not resolved through a Negotiation Conference, either party may request a Mediation Session by written notice. The parties will select a mediator in good faith and participate within 30 days after the request unless the parties agree to a different schedule. Mediation will be confidential to the extent permitted by law and the parties will share mediator fees equally unless they agree otherwise.
GPT-16.3 Arbitration Hearing
If the Dispute is not resolved through Mediation, the Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except as provided in GPT-16.6. Unless the parties agree otherwise, arbitration will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration provider and conducted in Washington, DC or by remote video conference.
GPT-16.4 Settlement Conference
If the Dispute is not resolved through arbitration or before either party seeks court involvement related to an arbitration award (including confirmation, vacatur or enforcement), the parties will participate in a Settlement Conference within 30 days after a written request by either party. The Settlement Conference will be facilitated by a neutral third party selected in good faith by the parties and will be confidential to the extent permitted by law.
GPT-16.5 Class and representative actions waived
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Claims must be brought in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding.
GPT-16.6 Limited court involvement and exceptions
The parties intend to avoid litigation and courtroom activity. Court proceedings are limited to:
- an individual action in small claims court if eligible,
- injunctive or other equitable relief to address misuse of the Site or Services,
- interference with security, a Security Incident,
- infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights,
- fraud,
- theft,
- misappropriation or
- other willful misconduct
- Court proceedings required to support or enforce arbitration, including compelling arbitration, confirming an award or enforcing an award.
Nothing in the Policies restricts either party from reporting suspected criminal behavior to law enforcement or regulators.
GPT-16.7 Venue for court proceedings
To the extent a Claim is not subject to arbitration or for any court proceedings permitted under GPT-16.6, Venue will be the state or federal courts located in Washington, DC and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
GPT-16.8 Sub-Policy overrides
A Sub-Policy may modify the dispute resolution procedures, arbitration location, administrator, Venue or liability cap for a specific feature only if it does so expressly and clearly.
Disclaimer of Warranties
GPT-16.9 Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site, Services and Content are provided "as is" and "as available." We disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
Limitation of Liability
GPT-16.10 Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Operating Firm and the IP Owner will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill arising out of or relating to the Site, Services or Policies, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of the Operating Firm and the IP Owner for any Claim arising out of or relating to the Site, Services or Policies will not exceed $100, unless a Sub-Policy clearly states a different cap for a specific feature.
GPT-17.0 Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Operating Firm, the IP Owner and their officers, directors, employees and agents from and against claims, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of or relating to your violation of the Policies, your misuse of the Site, your misunderstanding of the Services or your Submissions.
GPT-18.0 Severability and Waiver
GPT-18.1 Severability
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
GPT-18.2 Waiver
Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
GPT-19.0 Assignment
We may assign the Policies in connection with a corporate reorganization, merger, acquisition or sale of assets. You may not assign your rights or obligations under contractual Sub-Policies without our written consent.

GPT-8.6 Recordings and Transcripts
Where permitted by law, calls and Chats may be recorded and stored and may be transcribed. We may provide notice when Recording or transcription is used.

Do not submit Sensitive Information or PHI through public website forms, Telecommunications Features or general website communications.

GPT-16.0 Disputes
Given the gravity, cost, disruption, litigative nature of people and misuse of our current justice system, We place a high priority on resolving conflicts from a Biblical perspective including, and not limited to, adhering to the directive in 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 wherein Paul the Apostle clearly states that Believers in Yeshua, the resurrected Son of God, should not take each other to public court over personal or professional disputes. As such, we have structured this section with three sections: Dispute Resolution Order, Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
Dispute Resolution Order
GPT-16.1 Negotiation Conference
Before initiating any formal process, the parties will participate in a good faith Negotiation Conference. Prior to or during this process, it will be critical to ascertain the religious beliefs and faith of the parties to comply with the divine order for dispute resolutions. Additionally, each party will ensure a decision-maker with authority to resolve the Dispute participates in the Negotiation Conference. The Negotiation Conference will occur within 10 Business Days after one party provides written notice of the Dispute to the other.
GPT-16.2 Mediation Session
If the Dispute is not resolved through a Negotiation Conference, either party may request a Mediation Session by written notice. The parties will select a mediator in good faith and participate within 30 days after the request unless the parties agree to a different schedule. Mediation will be confidential to the extent permitted by law and the parties will share mediator fees equally unless they agree otherwise.
GPT-16.3 Arbitration Hearing
If the Dispute is not resolved through Mediation, the Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except as provided in GPT-16.6. Unless the parties agree otherwise, arbitration will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration provider and conducted in Washington, DC or by remote video conference.
GPT-16.4 Settlement Conference
If the Dispute is not resolved through arbitration or before either party seeks court involvement related to an arbitration award (including confirmation, vacatur or enforcement), the parties will participate in a Settlement Conference within 30 days after a written request by either party. The Settlement Conference will be facilitated by a neutral third party selected in good faith by the parties and will be confidential to the extent permitted by law.
GPT-16.5 Class and representative actions waived
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Claims must be brought in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding.
GPT-16.6 Limited court involvement and exceptions
The parties intend to avoid litigation and courtroom activity. Court proceedings are limited to:
- an individual action in small claims court if eligible,
- injunctive or other equitable relief to address misuse of the Site or Services,
- interference with security, a Security Incident,
- infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights,
- fraud,
- theft,
- misappropriation or
- other willful misconduct
- Court proceedings required to support or enforce arbitration, including compelling arbitration, confirming an award or enforcing an award.
Nothing in the Policies restricts either party from reporting suspected criminal behavior to law enforcement or regulators.
GPT-16.7 Venue for court proceedings
To the extent a Claim is not subject to arbitration or for any court proceedings permitted under GPT-16.6, Venue will be the state or federal courts located in Washington, DC and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
GPT-16.8 Sub-Policy overrides
A Sub-Policy may modify the dispute resolution procedures, arbitration location, administrator, Venue or liability cap for a specific feature only if it does so expressly and clearly.
Disclaimer of Warranties
GPT-16.9 Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site, Services and Content are provided "as is" and "as available." We disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
Limitation of Liability
GPT-16.10 Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Operating Firm and the IP Owner will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill arising out of or relating to the Site, Services or Policies, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of the Operating Firm and the IP Owner for any Claim arising out of or relating to the Site, Services or Policies will not exceed $100, unless a Sub-Policy clearly states a different cap for a specific feature.
GPT-17.0 Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Operating Firm, the IP Owner and their officers, directors, employees and agents from and against claims, damages, liabilities, losses and expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of or relating to your violation of the Policies, your misuse of the Site, your misunderstanding of the Services or your Submissions.
GPT-18.0 Severability and Waiver
GPT-18.1 Severability
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
GPT-18.2 Waiver
Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
