Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Eleva Legal website and services (the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms.

1. Nature of Services — Not a Law Firm

Eleva Legal is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or legal representation. Eleva Legal is a legal information and attorney-referral service that helps connect individuals with independent, licensed attorneys. Using the Services does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Eleva Legal. Any attorney-client relationship is formed only between you and the attorney you separately retain.

2. No Legal Advice

Content on this website, including guides, FAQs, and other materials, is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney about your specific situation. Laws vary by jurisdiction and change over time.

3. Attorney Referrals

When we connect you with an attorney, you are responsible for evaluating that attorney's qualifications, fees, and fit for your matter. Eleva Legal does not guarantee any particular result, outcome, or quality of legal services. The attorneys we refer are independent professionals, not employees or agents of Eleva Legal.

4. Eligibility and Acceptable Use

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. You agree not to misuse the Services, including by:

• Submitting false, misleading, or fraudulent information
• Using the Services to harass, threaten, or harm any person
• Attempting to access non-public areas of the site or interfere with operations
• Using any automated means to scrape, copy, or collect content
• Violating any applicable law or regulation

5. SMS and Text Message Communications

By providing your mobile phone number and opting in, you expressly consent to receive recurring automated text messages from Eleva Legal at the number provided, including for service updates, account notifications, and (where separately consented) marketing communications.

• Frequency: Message frequency varies based on your interaction with the Services.

8. Disclaimers

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available." Eleva Legal makes no warranties, express or implied, about the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or suitability of any content or referral for any particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Eleva Legal disclaims all implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Eleva Legal and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, arising out of or related to your use of the Services or any attorney referral.
