We may modify these Terms at any time by posting the revised terms on our website. You can determine when these Terms were last revised by referring to the “last updated” legend at the top of this web page. Any modifications will be effective immediately upon such posting. Your use of or access to the site after such modifications are posted will signify your acceptance of the modifications and your agreement to be bound by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any modifications to these Terms shall not apply to any dispute between us arising prior to the date on which we post the revised terms that contain such modifications.
YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION, OR DISCONTINUANCE OF THE SITE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OR OF ANY SERVICE, CONTENT, FEATURE, OR PRODUCT OFFERED THROUGH THE SITE.
We make the information and materials available on the Site (the "Materials") for general informational purposes only.

Anyone accessing the Site should not act upon any Materials without first seeking legal counsel.
We are proud of the results we obtain for our clients, but you should know that past results afford no guarantee of future results and that every case is different and should be judged on its own merits.

In addition, unsolicited e-mails and information sent to us do not create an attorney-client relationship with the Startup Legal Group, and will not be considered confidential, and may be disclosed to others pursuant to our Privacy Policy. We accept clients only in accordance with certain formal procedures, including execution of a formal written engagement letter, and we will render legal advice only after completion of those procedures and engagement letter.
