Ostendorf Law | Maryland Legal FormsExplanatory Paragraph.
By using the Ostendorf Law website (the "Site") or any Ostendorf Law applications or application plug-ins (the "Applications"), you agree to follow and be bound by these terms of use (the "Terms of Use") and agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including United States export and re-export control laws and regulations. In these Terms of Use, the words "you" and "your" refer to each customer, Site visitor, or Application user, "we", "us" and "our" refer to Law Office of Jason Ostendorf LLC d/b/a Ostendorf Law, and "Services" refers to all services provided by us.
It is your responsibility to review these Terms of Use periodically. If at any time you find these Terms of Use unacceptable or if you do not agree to these Terms of Use, please do not use this Site or any Applications. We may revise these Terms of Use at any time without notice to you. If you have any questions about these Terms of Use, please contact us at info@OstendorfLaw.com.
YOU AGREE THAT BY USING THE SITE, ANY APPLICATIONS, AND THE SERVICES YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE AND YOU ARE LEGALLY ABLE TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT.
These Terms waive your rights to attempt to resolve disputes via jury trials or class actions, and also limit the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute, as described in Paragraph 6 below.
Please also refer to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Ostendorf Law provides an online legal portal to give visitors a general understanding of the law and to provide an automated software solution to individuals who choose to prepare their own legal documents. Customer need not download or even license our software. We host the Site's software as a backend service for customers when they create their own documents. The Site includes general information on commonly encountered legal issues. At times, our Services also include an algorithmic review of your answers for completeness or internal consistency of names, addresses and the like. Algorithmic review means that this is a function of the code comprising our software, rather than any human review. At no time do we review your answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice, opinions or recommendations about your legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms, or strategies, or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation. Although Law Office of Jason Ostendorf LLC is a Maryland law firm, and although Jason Ostendorf, Esq. is licensed to practice law only in Maryland, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, the US Court of Appeals for the Courth Circuit, and the Supreme Court, Ostendorf Law does not hold itself out as a law firm and may not perform services performed by an attorney. Ostendorf Law, its Services, and its forms or templates are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney.
We strive to keep our legal documents accurate, current and up-to-date. However, because the law changes rapidly, we cannot guarantee that all of the information on the Site or Applications is completely current. The law is different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and may be subject to interpretation by different courts. The law is a personal matter, and no general information or legal tool like the kind we provide can fit every circumstance. Furthermore, the legal information contained on the Site and Applications is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. Therefore, if you need legal advice for your specific problem, or if your specific problem is too complex to be addressed by our tools, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.
At no time is an attorney-client relationship fostered or created with us through the performance of any Services. As made abundantly clear in the Disclaimer that appears at the bottom of every page above the footer, we are a separate division of a law firm, and the Services provided through this legal forms platform stand distinct from the legal services provided to our clients. The content presented here is for general informational purposes, similar to what one might find in a blog post, and does not involve in-depth consultations with an attorney. As such, engaging with this platform does not establish an attorney-client relationship. Using our service does not prevent an opposing party from doing the same. The Maryland Attorneys' Rules of Professional Conduct related to attorney-client relationships are not applicable to our Services.
This Site and Applications are not intended to create any attorney-client relationship, and your use of our Site does not and will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and us. Instead, you are and will be representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake through our legal forms Service.

5. Use of Our Legal Forms.
On our Site, through our Applications, and through certain partners, we offer self-help "fill in the blank" forms. If you buy a form from one of our partners, you will be directed to that partner's website and their terms of use will control. If you buy or download a form on our Site or Application, the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use control. You understand that your purchase, download, and/or use of a form document is neither legal advice nor the practice of law, and that each form, along with any applicable instructions or guidance, is not customized to your particular needs.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use our forms (the "Forms") for your own personal, internal business use, or if you are an attorney or professional, for your client.

6. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND OSTENDORF LAW MAY SEEK TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN EACH OTHER. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS PROVISION. IN ADDITION, YOU AND OSTENDORF LAW WAIVE AND ARE HEREBY PRECLUDED FROM FROM HAVING ANY JURY TRIAL.
No Representative Actions. You and Ostendorf Law agree that any dispute or claim between us, including those arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, is personal to you and Ostendorf Law and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. For the purposes of this Agreement, references to "Ostendorf Law," "you," and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, employers, business partners, shareholders, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms or any prior agreements between us. Beneficiaries include, but are not limited to, those named in an estate planning document.
No Jury Trials. Most concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by contacting us at info@OstendorfLaw.com. In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute you after attempting to do so informally), this Section 6 applies. You and Ostendorf Law agree to waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in court via a bench trial, meaning a proceeding before a judge. Disputes include, but are not limited to, (a) those arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, and (b) those related to advertising, privacy, data security, and the use of our website. This Agreement applies to all Disputes based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, Disputes arising before you accepted these or any prior Terms, Disputes that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class, and Disputes asserted against us by those you list as authorized contacts on your order.
Confidentiality. The litigation will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute. You and Ostendorf Law agree to cooperate to seek from the court protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and/or other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the litigation. You and Ostendorf Law agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, and/or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the litigation.
Additional Terms. If any portion of this Section 6 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 6; and (c) to the extent that any claims must proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims.
Forum Selection Clause You and Ostendorf Law agree that the state (and not federal) courts of the State of Maryland shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any litigation between us.
7. Additional Terms.
Some of our Services may be subject to additional posted guidelines, rules or terms of service ("Additional Terms") and your use of such Services will be conditioned on your agreement to the Additional Terms. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and the Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control for that Service, unless the Additional Terms expressly state that these Terms of Use will control.

At various locations on the Site or through Applications, we may permit visitors to post ratings, reviews, comments, questions, answers, and other content (the "User Content").

Rights and Responsibilities of Ostendorf Law. We are not the publisher or author of the User Content. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any content posted by you or any third party. Although we cannot make an absolute guarantee of system security, we have taken reasonable steps to maintain security, namely safeguards written into our software. If you have reason to believe system security has been breached, contact us by email for help. If our technical staff finds that files or processes belonging to a member pose a threat to the proper technical operation of the system or to the security of other members, we reserve the right to delete those files or to stop those processes. If our technical staff suspects a user email is being used by someone who is not authorized by the proper user, we may temporarily disable that user's access in order to preserve system security. In all such cases, we will contact the member as soon as feasible. Nothing in this provision shall be deemed to create a tort duty, contractual obligation, or other duty of care for us over and above any basic, rudimentary duty applicable to any ordinary website owner.
Rights and Responsibilities of Ostendorf Law Users or Other Posters of User Content. You are legally and ethically responsible for any User Content - writings, files, pictures or any other work - that you post or transmit using any Service that allows interaction or dissemination of information. In posting User Content, you agree that you will not submit any content:

In posting a work as User Content, you authorize other members who have access to that Service to make personal and customary use of the work, including creating links or reposting, but not otherwise to reproduce or disseminate it unless you give permission for such dissemination.
You grant Ostendorf Law a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable right and license to use, copy, modify, delete in its entirety, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, sell, distribute, and/or incorporate such content into any form, medium, or technology throughout the world without compensation to you. You have the right to remove any of your works from User Content at any time.
