Framework Law
Terms of Use
About Framework Law
Framework Law Group PC is a boutique law firm. Our attorneys provide legal services for business registrations, intellectual property, contracts, and related transactional matters. Every engagement is governed by an engagement letter entered into before services begin, and our services are typically billed by flat fee, hourly, or through membership, as set out in that letter.
Separately, we offer online tools for convenience, including this website, the Framework Law Legal Checkup, the Framework Law Hub, and articles, videos, and other educational or supportive content. These Terms govern your use of those online tools. They do not govern our legal services, and the disclaimers below about general information, automated results, and the absence of an attorney-client relationship apply to the online tools, not to legal services we provide under an engagement letter.
Please read these Terms of Use carefully before accessing or using this website.
Framework Law Group PC, a California professional corporation (“Framework Law,” “us,” or “we”), owns and operates this website, the Framework Law Legal Checkup (the “Checkup”), and the Framework Law Hub client portal (the “Hub”), along with any related web services, products, or future offerings, including but not limited to Framework Law’s associated social media platforms.
By accessing, using, downloading, or viewing this website—or any related products or services (as defined below) (collectively, the “Site”)—you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions (“Terms of Use”). The Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy (https://frameworklaw.com/privacy) (collectively, the “Terms”), govern your use of the Site, any free materials and resources provided through the Site, and any other services or products we make available (collectively, the “Services”).
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between Framework Law and you, whether you are using the Site personally or on behalf of an entity (collectively, “you”).
BY ACCESSING OR USING ANY PART OF THE SITE OR SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, WHICH INCLUDE AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, A WAIVER OF CLASS-ACTION RIGHTS, AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.
If you do not agree to these Terms or to comply with all applicable laws, you must immediately stop accessing or using the Site and Services.
If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us at grant@frameworklaw.com.
If you access any Framework Law content via a third-party social media network (including, without limitation, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest), you also agree to comply with that network’s own terms and conditions.
About the Site: Not Legal Advice; No Attorney-Client Relationship
General Information Only. The Site, the Checkup, the Hub (including any summaries, notes, upcoming dates, and recommendations shown there), and our articles and other Content provide general information only. They are not legal advice and are not a substitute for advice from a lawyer about your specific situation. Please do not act, or decide not to act, based on this information without advice tailored to you.
No Attorney-Client Relationship. Using the Site, completing the Checkup, creating or using a Hub account, emailing us, or booking a call does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship forms only when you and Framework Law Group PC sign a written engagement letter or other written agreement for legal services, and only for the matters it covers. If you are an existing client, your use of the Hub does not expand the scope of your engagement.
Information You Share Before Engaging Us. Please do not send us information you consider highly sensitive, such as details of an active dispute, until we have confirmed in writing that we can represent you. Until we complete a conflict check and confirm an engagement, sharing information with us does not obligate us to represent you and, to the extent permitted by our professional rules, does not prevent us from representing another party.
Licensing. Framework Law’s legal services are provided by attorneys licensed in California. Information on the Site or in the Hub about the laws or requirements of other states, including state filing deadlines, is general information and not advice about the law of those states.
Automated and AI Results. The Checkup and the Hub use automated tools, including artificial intelligence, to review your website, read public records, and organize the information you provide. These results, including website findings, business details, entity and trademark information, and upcoming dates, may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, and are provided as-is. Information in the Hub that you or others enter is not verified by us unless we tell you otherwise. Please review and confirm everything, and check deadlines and filing requirements with the appropriate government office. You are responsible for decisions you make based on this information.
Quotes and Pricing. Any quote, estimate, or pricing provided on the Site, in the Hub, or by email or on a call is a good-faith estimate based on the information available at the time. It is not an offer, and it is subject to our attorney’s review and final confirmation in a signed engagement letter. Government filing fees and other third-party costs are additional unless stated otherwise. If the facts or the scope of work change, the price may change, and we will confirm any change with you before proceeding.
No Guarantee of Results. We do not guarantee any particular outcome, including the approval of any filing, application, or registration.
Attorney Advertising. Some Content on the Site may be considered attorney advertising in certain jurisdictions. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
The Legal Checkup and the Hub
Accounts. When you submit the Checkup, we create a Hub account tied to your email address. You can then update, change, or upload information in the Hub, and we may review what you submit to send you reminders, notes on potential gaps, and recommendations. Existing clients may also be invited to use the Hub. One account may manage more than one business, and you represent that you are authorized to act for each business you add. You sign in using links sent to your email, so please keep your email account secure.
Free Access and Future Features. The Checkup and basic Hub access are currently free. We may add, change, limit, or discontinue features at any time, and we may introduce paid features or memberships. Paid features will be offered under the terms shown at purchase or in a separate written agreement.
Your Content. You keep ownership of the information and documents you enter or upload to the Checkup or the Hub (“Your Content”). You grant Framework Law a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process, and display Your Content, including through our service providers and artificial intelligence tools, as needed to provide and improve the Checkup, the Hub, and our services, and as described in our Privacy Policy. We may also create and use de-identified or aggregated information that does not identify you or your business. You represent that you have the rights and any consents needed to share Your Content, including information about other people and agreements with third parties, and that sharing it does not violate any agreement or law.
Third-Party Tools and Public Records. Booking a call uses a third-party scheduling tool, and some Hub information may come from public sources such as state business registries and the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Those tools and sources are governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for their availability or accuracy.
Content on the Site
Intellectual Property Rights. You agree that the Site itself, including the Checkup and the Hub, as well as all content, photographs, sound or videos, media, images, graphics, webinars, training materials, templates, software, podcasts, services and/or other information and materials, and selection and arrangements thereof, is copyrighted work under the United States and other copyright laws, and is the property of or licensed by Framework Law, made available on the Site or transferred via a downloadable file or link by us or other third parties (collectively the “Content”).

Third-Party Services. Third parties may offer their services directly to you through the Site. In such case, you may be required to agree to the third party’s terms of service and/or privacy policy to use the service. Framework Law will not be liable in any way for the acts or omissions of such third party, the terms of service or privacy policy or its failure to adhere to its terms of services or privacy policy, or any loss, damages, liability or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that you may incur arising from or related to such third party’s services or products.

These Terms prohibit the infringement of the copyrights of others, and it is also our policy that we may remove, suspend, terminate access, or take other appropriate action against repeat offenders. We may also remove content that in our sole discretion appears to infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
How to File an Infringement Notification. If you have evidence, know, or have a good faith belief that content residing on or accessible through our Site infringes a copyright which you own or for which you are a designated agent, please send a notice of infringement by email to:

NOTHING IN THIS POLICY IS INTENDED TO EXPAND OR SUPPLEMENT THE LEGAL RIGHTS, PROCEDURES AND REMEDIES AUTHORIZED AND GRANTED UNDER THE DMCA. Please note that you may be liable for damages, including but not limited to costs and attorneys’ fees, under the DMCA if you knowingly materially misrepresent: (a) that material on the Site infringes upon your copyright; or (b) that material on the Site was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification. If a user is found to be an infringer of the copyright rights of others, Framework Law may terminate access to the user’s account.
Legal Services and Paid Features
Legal Services. Legal services are provided only under a signed engagement letter or other written agreement with Framework Law Group PC, which governs the scope, fees, and terms of that work. If these Terms conflict with an engagement letter, the engagement letter controls.
Paid Features. If we offer paid memberships or other paid features through the Site or the Hub (“Paid Features”), the price, billing frequency, and any renewal and cancellation terms will be shown before you purchase. You authorize us and our payment processor to charge your selected payment method for Paid Features you purchase. Prices do not include taxes or government filing fees unless stated otherwise.
Questions? If you have questions, please contact us at: Framework Law, grant@frameworklaw.com
Disputes
Subject to applicable law, you and Framework Law agree that any dispute that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to your use of or access to the Services or Site, any breach, enforcement, or termination of these Terms, or otherwise relating to Framework Law in any way will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section. This Section does not apply to disputes about legal services or fees under an engagement letter, which are governed by that engagement letter and applicable law, including California’s Mandatory Fee Arbitration Act where it applies.
Informal Resolution. If you have any dispute with us, you agree that before taking any formal action, you will contact us at grant@frameworklaw.com, provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your username, if your dispute relates to an account) and allow sixty (60) days to pass, during which we will attempt to reach an amicable resolution of any issue.
Arbitration. These Terms and each of its parts evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act applies in all cases and governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings. Any Covered Matters must be asserted individually in binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Terms and the AAA Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (including, without limitation, utilizing desk, phone or video conference proceedings where appropriate and permitted to mitigate costs of travel). The arbitrator shall not conduct any form of class or collective arbitration nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable or a particular claim is subject to arbitration. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Award. For matters where the relief sought is over $5,000, the arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Framework Law user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.
Exceptions. There are only two exceptions to this arbitration agreement:
First, if a party reasonably believes that the other party has in any manner infringed or threatened to infringe the intellectual property rights of the other party, the party who owns the intellectual property rights may seek injunctive or other appropriate interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Second, any claim of $500 or less may, at the option of the claiming party, be resolved in small claims court within the United States, if the claim and the parties are within the jurisdiction of the small claims court and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this agreement to arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $5,000 or less, at your request, Framework Law will reimburse you for all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration following the earlier of the arbitrator’s decision or settlement. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, Framework Law is relieved of its obligation to reimburse you for any fees associated with the arbitration.
Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to this agreement to arbitrate in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against Framework Law prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the agreement to arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and Framework Law. If you do not agree to these amended terms, you may close your account within thirty (30) days of the posting or notification and you will not be bound by the amended terms.
Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes. Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order or because you have chosen to file an eligible lawsuit in small claims court, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Framework Law must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Sacramento County, California. You and Framework Law agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Sacramento County, California for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
OPT-OUT. IF YOU ARE A NEW FRAMEWORK LAW USER, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE PROVISION ("OPT-OUT") BY EMAILING US AN OPT-OUT NOTICE TO grant@frameworklaw.com ("OPT-OUT NOTICE"): FRAMEWORK LAW. THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF SERVICE FOR THE FIRST TIME. IF YOU ARE NOT A NEW FRAMEWORK LAW USER, YOU HAVE UNTIL THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE POSTING OF THE NEW TERMS OF SERVICE TO SUBMIT AN ARBITRATION OPT-OUT NOTICE.
Procedure. In order to opt-out, you must email your name, address (including street address, city, state, and zip code), and email address(es) associated with your Account(s) to which the opt-out applies and an unaltered digital image of a valid driver’s license which matches the name on your account to: grant@frameworklaw.com. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the agreement to arbitrate. If you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, all other parts of the agreement and its Disputes Section will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this agreement to arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.
WAIVER. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A COURT TRIAL (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PROVIDED BELOW) OR TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING FILED AGAINST US AND/OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES.
Indemnification
You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Framework Law and all of our officers, directors, managers, members, employees, agents, information providers, affiliates, partners, and licensors (“Framework Law Party,” or collectively, the “Framework Law Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by any Framework Law Party arising from, related to, or in connection with (a) a violation of any provision of these Terms by you; or (b) arising from, related to, or connected with your violation of the rights of Framework Law or any other person or entity. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, control the disposition of any such claim at your sole cost and expense. You may not settle any such claim without our express written consent. This defense and indemnification obligation is intended to extend to the fullest extent permitted by law and will survive these Terms and your use of the Site.
Warranties & Disclaimers
Service Outages and Force Majeure. Unless you have greater rights in a separate signed agreement with us, we disclaim to the fullest extent permitted by law any service outages that are caused by our maintenance on the servers or the technology that underlies our Site, failures of our service providers (including telecommunications, hosting, and power providers), computer viruses, natural disasters or other destruction or damage of our facilities, acts of nature, war, civil disturbance, or any other cause beyond our reasonable control. Under no circumstances shall Framework Law or its licensor or service providers be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from an event beyond its reasonable control. This provision is not intended to disclaim liability that Framework Law may not disclaim under law.

THIS PROVISION IS NOT INTENDED TO DISCLAIM LIABILITY THAT FRAMEWORK LAW MAY NOT DISCLAIM UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS SERVICES AND MATERIALS. FRAMEWORK LAW DOES NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY THROUGH THE SITE OR ANY WEBSITE FEATURED OR LINKED TO THROUGH THE SITE, AND FRAMEWORK LAW WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.

THIS PROVISION IS NOT INTENDED TO EXCLUDE LIABILITY THAT FRAMEWORK LAW MAY NOT EXCLUDE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED. IN ANY EVENT, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS TO WHICH THE CLAIM RELATES OR, IF THE CLAIM DOES NOT RELATE TO A PAID SERVICE OR PRODUCT, $100.
