DAMAGES GENIE TERMS OF — USE

Effective: August 28, 2018

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of our website, app, information contained on the Damages Genie website or app, or other services or materials (collectively, the “Services”) provided by Legal Genie, LLC (collectively “Damages Genie,” “we,” “us,” or words having a similar meaning). If you have agreed to or are otherwise bound by a License and Services Agreement with Damages Genie, then that License and Services Agreement shall take precedence over these Terms.

You agree to these Terms by using the Services, and you understand and agree that Damages Genie will treat your use of the Services as acceptance of these Terms from that point onwards. If you do not agree to the Terms, you are not authorized to use any Services. If you are an individual who is entering into these Terms on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the power to bind that entity, and you hereby agree on that entity’s behalf to be bound by these Terms, with the terms “you,” and “your” applying to you, that entity, and other users accessing the Services on behalf of that entity.

These Terms will remain in effect throughout your use of the Services. These Terms may be amended in Damages Genie’s sole and absolute discretion from time to time. The most current version of these Terms will be posted on the Damages Genie website and app. Your continued use of any Services after new and/or revised Terms are effective indicates that you have read, understood, and agreed to those Terms; if you do not want to agree to any changes made to these Terms, you must stop using the Services. Please check these Terms regularly to view our then-current Terms of Use.
