IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE OF THE WEBSITE IMMEDIATELY.

1. Nature of the Service & No Legal Advice

catalog.lawyer is a technology platform and directory service. We are not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice, representation, or referrals. We are not a substitute for an attorney or law firm.

Using this Website, including our AI features or contacting an attorney through our forms, does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and catalog.lawyer.

2. User Content & Licensing

When you create a profile, upload photos, post questions, or submit any content (“User Content”) to the Website, you retain ownership of your intellectual property. However, you grant catalog.lawyer a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, reproduce, modify, display, and distribute your User Content in connection with the operation of the Website.

You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights to share the User Content (e.g., you have the rights to your profile photo).
• Your content does not violate the rights of any third party.

3. Attorney Directory & Listings

We provide a directory of independent attorneys, law firms, and government institutions based on public records and user submissions.

• No Endorsement: The inclusion of any attorney or firm on catalog.lawyer does not imply a recommendation or endorsement by us. We do not guarantee the quality, competency, or outcome of any legal services provided by these professionals.
• Verification: While we strive to keep our listings accurate, we cannot guarantee that every attorney’s status is current at the specific moment of your search. Users are responsible for verifying an attorney’s standing with their respective State Bar Association.
• Attorney Responsibilities: Attorneys listed on the Website are solely responsible for the accuracy of their profiles and for ensuring their listings comply with the advertising rules of their jurisdiction.

The place of the arbitration shall be Winnipeg, Manitoba. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement: These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and catalog.lawyer regarding the use of the Website.
