1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using ShieldForge, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you are prohibited from using this service.

2. No Attorney-Client Relationship

IMPORTANT: Use of ShieldForge does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and ShieldForge or any attorney using the platform. ShieldForge is a technology platform that facilitates estate planning and document generation.

Any attorney-client relationship must be established directly between you and a licensed attorney through separate engagement. Documents generated through ShieldForge should be reviewed by a qualified attorney before execution.

3. Not Legal Advice

ShieldForge provides general information and document templates. This is not legal advice. The information provided through ShieldForge should not be used as a substitute for professional legal advice from a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.

Estate planning, asset protection, and tax strategies are complex legal matters that require professional guidance. Always consult with a qualified attorney before making legal decisions.

4. State Bar Compliance

Attorneys using ShieldForge are responsible for ensuring their use of the platform complies with their state bar rules and regulations, including rules regarding advertising, client communication, and the unauthorized practice of law.

ShieldForge does not practice law and does not provide legal services. The platform is a tool for licensed attorneys to serve their clients more efficiently.

5. Document Accuracy

While ShieldForge uses AI to generate legal documents based on state-specific requirements, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any document for your specific situation. All documents must be reviewed and approved by a licensed attorney before use.

6. User Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate and complete information
  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
  • Complying with all applicable laws and regulations
  • Seeking professional legal advice before executing any documents
  • Ensuring documents are properly executed according to state law

7. Limitation of Liability

ShieldForge and its affiliates shall not be liable for any damages arising from your use of the platform, including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, and consequential damages. This includes damages resulting from errors in documents, tax consequences, or legal disputes.

8. Privacy and Data Security

Your use of ShieldForge is also governed by our Privacy Policy. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, but no system is completely secure. You acknowledge the inherent risks of transmitting sensitive information online.

9. Modifications to Service

ShieldForge reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the service at any time without notice. We may also modify these Terms of Service at any time, and your continued use constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
