Use.
 
A. General Practices.
 
You acknowledge that Contractor Counsel may establish general practices and limits concerning use of its Legal Plans, including without limitation, the maximum number of attorney consultations you may receive in a given period of time related to one or all subjects. A current list of practices is available at contractorcounsel.com.
 
B. Right to Change Practices.
 
You acknowledge that Contractor Counsel reserves the right to change these general practices and limits at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice.
 
C. Responsibility for Misuse.
 
You are responsible for all expenses incurred or other actions that may occur through your use of a Legal Plan. You must immediately alert us of any fraudulent, unauthorized, illegal, or suspicious use of a Legal Plan, or any other breach of security or unauthorized or illegal activity that you reasonably suspect.
 
Any Changes to This Agreement Must Be in Writing. You acknowledge that no change in this contract is valid until the change has been approved by an executive officer of Contractor Counsel and unless the approval is endorsed or attached to the contract.
 
Authority to Enter Agreement. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the legal authority to bind such entity to these terms, in which case the terms "you" or "your" shall refer to such entity. If you do not have such authority or if you do not agree with this Agreement, you may not sign up for or use any Legal Plan. If after your purchase we find that you do not have authority to bind the entity for which you ordered, you will be personally responsible for the obligations in this Agreement and the order you placed, including without limitation, the payment obligations. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from our reliance on any instruction, notice, document or communication, reasonably believed by us to be genuine and originating from an authorized representative of your company. If there is reasonable doubt about the authenticity of any such instruction, notice, document, or communication, we may, but are not obliged to, require additional authentication from you.
 
Payment.
 
A. Legal Plan Membership Fees.
 
You will be charged in accordance with the billing terms in effect at the time of your initial purchase, unless you are notified of a fee change in accordance with "Fee Adjustments" below. For any Legal Plan you purchase that is charged in full upon purchase, you agree that for each renewal term for such Legal Plan, the amount due for the next term will be due and immediately payable in full as of the first day of that renewed term. For each Legal Plan, your charge remains for each term no matter if you access the Site during that term. In other words, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE THE LEGAL PLAN BENEFITS OR SPEAK WITH AN ATTORNEY, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SUBSCRIPTION FEES UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR IT IS OTHERWISE TERMINATED. For more information regarding canceling your Legal Plan subscription, see the "Termination or Cancellation" section below.
 
B. Billing.
 
To allow payment for the initial term of a Legal Plan, valid credit card, bank draft, or other billing information is due at the time of purchase.
 
Your Legal Plan subscription will renew automatically at the end of the initial term (the "Billing Date") and at the end of each term thereafter unless and until you give notice of your intention to terminate your Legal Plan subscription pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If you do not give us notice of such intention, your credit card will be charged for the renewal term of your Legal Plan subscription on your Billing Date. If your purchase date is on the 29th through 31st day of any month, your Billing Date for renewals in months with fewer days will fall on the last day of the month. Contractor Counsel may adjust your Billing Date in subsequent renewal periods without notice. This will be reflected by a charge to your account on a pro-rated basis according to the number of days that have passed since the Billing Date of your latest renewal charge. Unless otherwise notified in advance by Contractor Counsel pursuant to this Agreement, the renewal charge will be equal to the original purchase price for the Legal Plan.
 
You agree to pay Contractor Counsel the fees associated with your Legal Plan subscription. Additional discounts may be available for members purchasing multiple months up front, as part of certain promotions, or where limited by law.
 
A schedule of fees for the Legal Plan subscriptions is set forth below:
 
Contractor Counsel Plan monthly subscription: $59.00
Contractor Counsel Plan yearly subscription: $659.00
 
C. Promotional Trial Memberships.
 
We sometimes offer certain customers various trial or other promotional memberships, which are subject to this Agreement except as otherwise stated in the promotional offers. AT THE COMPLETION OF A TRIAL MEMBERSHIP, UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO CANCEL BY CALLING (800) [xxx-xxxx] , YOUR LEGAL PLAN SUBSCRIPTION WILL RENEW AUTOMATICALLY AND YOUR CREDIT CARD OR BANK DRAFT WILL BE CHARGED TO BEGIN YOUR INITIAL TERM.
 
D. Attorney Fees.
 
Fees for attorney services provided pursuant to a Legal Plan subscription shall be paid directly to the Plan Attorneys. Plan Attorneys are not employees or agents of Contractor Counsel, and have no financial obligation to Contractor Counsel.
 
Termination or Cancellation.
 
A. By Contractor Counsel.
 
(i) If payment is not made on the Billing Date, as described in Section 7 above, you will have until thirty-one (31) days after your Billing Date to correct the credit card or bank draft information on file and post a payment to your account. If after the expiration of this 31-day grace period you have not made any payment on your Legal Plan subscription, your non-payment may result in suspension of service and subsequent termination of your Legal Plan subscription.
 
(ii) Your right to use a Legal Plan subscription is subject to any limits established by Contractor Counsel or by your credit card issuer. If payment cannot be charged to your credit card or your charge is returned for any reason, including through a chargeback, Contractor Counsel reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to suspend or terminate your access and account, thereby terminating this Agreement and all obligations of Contractor Counsel hereunder. If a charge made to your credit card is declined, Contractor Counsel may make up to five (5) attempts to bill that card over a thirty-one (31) day period.
 
(iii) If you wish to reactivate your account after such termination, there will be no setup or reactivation fees; provided, however, accounts terminated for non-payment will be reactivated only on receipt of the full amount past due and a written request to reinstate the account. When an expired account is reactivated, the new term begins on the date of reactivation.
 
B. By Subscriber.
 
(i) You will have the right to cancel your Legal Plan subscription by providing at least five (5) days' notice before the start of the next renewal period for such subscription. After such cancellation, your Legal Plan will remain active until the end of then-applicable period.
 
C. Services after Termination.
 
After termination of your Legal Plan subscription, either by you or by Contractor Counsel, you will not be able to access the corresponding Legal Plan offerings; provided, however, that any access rights to a Legal Plan granted you through a separate channel (e.g., through another Legal Plan subscription) will remain in full force and effect unless and until separately terminated or cancelled.
 
Dispute Resolution. The parties agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims. You have the right to file a complaint with your state's bar association concerning the conduct of an affiliated attorney under the Legal Plan.
 
Professional, Independent Attorney Judgment. Attorneys performing legal services for Legal Plan Members under the terms of this Agreement are not agents or employees of Contractor Counsel. Any attorney rendering legal services to Plan Members under a Legal Plan shall maintain the attorney-client relationship with the Plan Member, and is solely responsible to the Plan Member for all legal services provided. It is within the sole discretion of the attorney to determine whether claims or defenses pertaining to any matter under this Agreement present a frivolous or otherwise unmeritorious claim or defense. Participating attorneys reserve the right to make independent professional judgments regarding such presentations. Contractor Counsel will in no way influence or attempt to affect the rendering of professional services of the participating attorneys.
 
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Circular 230 Tax Advice Disclosure. To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS under Circular 230, we inform you that any U.S. federal tax advice contained in any communication from Contractor Counsel (including information provided by a Firm or an attorney offering a free consultation) is and was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (1) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code, or (2) promoting, marketing, or recommending to another party any matters addressed therein.
