The Website is intended solely to provide advertising and informational content submitted by participating advertisers.

Attorney Billboard Directory is not:

• a lawyer referral service;
• a lawyer matching service;
• a legal advice service;
• a State Bar organization;
• a legal aid organization;
• an attorney ranking service;
• an attorney certification program; or
• an endorsement of any attorney or law firm.

The Website is an advertising platform only.

2. Eligibility

By using the Website, you represent that:

• you are at least eighteen (18) years of age;
• you have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement;
• you will use the Website only for lawful purposes; and

• Online Platforms Inc.;
• any employee, contractor, or representative of the Company; or
• any attorney or law firm appearing on the Website.

An attorney-client relationship exists only if you and an attorney independently agree to establish one.

Communicating with an attorney through information displayed on the Website does not automatically create an attorney-client relationship.

4. No Legal Advice

All information displayed on the Website is provided for general informational and advertising purposes only.

Nothing contained on the Website constitutes:

• legal advice;
• legal opinions;
• legal representation;
• legal recommendations;
• legal strategy;
• legal consultation; or
• legal services.

You should consult directly with a licensed attorney regarding your particular legal matter.

Do not rely upon information displayed on the Website as a substitute for obtaining independent legal advice.

5. Advertising Platform Only

Attorney Billboard Directory provides advertising space to attorneys and law firms.

The Company does not evaluate the legal merits of any attorney, law firm, legal service, or legal claim.

Participation in the directory does not imply that an attorney has been recommended, endorsed, approved, certified, investigated, or verified by Attorney Billboard Directory.

The appearance of an attorney within the directory simply indicates that the attorney or law firm participates in the advertising platform.

6. Independent Attorneys

Each attorney and law firm displayed within Attorney Billboard Directory operates independently.

Attorney Billboard Directory does not employ, supervise, direct, manage, or control any attorney or law firm listed on the Website.

Each attorney remains solely responsible for:

• legal services;
• legal advice;
• communications;
• consultations;
• fees;
• advertising;
• professional conduct;
• licensing;
• client relationships;
• legal representation;
• compliance with applicable laws; and
• compliance with applicable State Bar rules.

7. No Recommendations, Rankings, or Endorsements

Attorney Billboard Directory does not recommend, rank, rate, review, certify, evaluate, compare, endorse, or otherwise express an opinion regarding any attorney or law firm.

Nothing displayed on the Website should be interpreted as suggesting that one attorney is superior to another.

An attorney's appearance within the directory does not constitute:

• a recommendation;
• an endorsement;
• a certification;
• a rating;
• a ranking;
• a guarantee of experience;
• a guarantee of competence;
• a guarantee of availability; or
• a guarantee of legal results.

Visitors are solely responsible for evaluating and selecting legal counsel.

8. Search Results and Billboard Display

Attorney billboards may appear in different locations throughout the Website based upon:

• practice area;
• geographic location;
• language;
• visitor-selected filters;
• pagination;
• alphabetical sorting;
• shuffle functionality;
• search criteria;
• system functionality; and
• other Website features.

The order in which attorney billboards appear should never be interpreted as:

• a recommendation;
• a ranking;
• a certification;
• an endorsement;
• an evaluation;
• a quality score; or
• a preference by Attorney Billboard Directory.

The display of billboards is part of the browsing experience only.
