Terms of Use

Last Updated:

This Terms of Use and Privacy and Cookie Policy has two parts. Part I (Terms of Use) sets out the terms and conditions that govern your access to and use of the website www.nextlegal.us and the content and features made available on it (the “Website”). Part II (Privacy and Cookie Policy) describes how Next Legal PLLC (“Next Legal,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and discloses information about you in connection with the Website. Throughout this document, “you” refers to the individual or entity visiting or using the Website. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to Part I and acknowledge that you have read Part II. If you do not agree to Part I, do not use the Website.

This document applies only to the Website. It does not govern any legal services provided by Next Legal. Next Legal provides legal services only under a written engagement letter signed by Next Legal and the client, and that engagement letter, together with our professional obligations, governs our relationship with the client and our handling of client information. If this document conflicts with an engagement letter, the engagement letter controls.

Do Not Send Confidential Information

Please do not send Next Legal confidential or sensitive information through the Website, by email, or otherwise until Next Legal has confirmed in writing that it represents you. Information you send before then may not be treated as confidential or privileged, and sending it does not prevent Next Legal from representing another party in the same or a related matter.

Attorney Advertising; Jurisdictions

The Website may be considered attorney advertising under the rules of certain jurisdictions. Any description of prior results on the Website does not guarantee a similar outcome, and every matter depends on its own facts. Next Legal’s attorneys are licensed to practice law only in the jurisdictions identified in their individual biographies. The Website is not intended to solicit clients in any jurisdiction where doing so would not comply with applicable law or rules of professional conduct. Next Legal does not advise on the law of any jurisdiction in which its attorneys are not licensed to practice, except as permitted by applicable law and rules of professional conduct, and references on the Website to the law or market practice of other countries, including in Latin America and Europe, are for general information only.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

Information about how Next Legal uses generative artificial intelligence tools in its practice is available in our Use of Artificial Intelligence statement. That statement is provided for general information only and does not form part of these Terms of Use.

Intellectual Property; Permitted Use

The Website and all content on it, including text, articles, graphics, logos, and design, are owned by or licensed to Next Legal and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Next Legal grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view and print content from the Website for your personal, noncommercial, informational use, provided that you keep all copyright and other proprietary notices intact. Except as permitted by that license, you agree not to copy, reproduce, republish, transmit, modify, create derivative works from, or distribute any of the information contained on the Website, absent the prior written approval of Next Legal.

Prohibited Uses

You agree not to: (a) use the Website for any unlawful purpose; (b) use any robot, spider, scraper, crawler, or other automated means to access, copy, or collect content or data from the Website, including for the purpose of training, fine-tuning, or otherwise developing any artificial intelligence or machine learning model, except for search engine indexing that complies with the Website’s robots.txt instructions; (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to, interfere with, or disrupt the Website or the systems on which it is hosted; (d) introduce any virus, malware, or other harmful code; or (e) frame or mirror the Website, or use Next Legal’s name or logos, without our prior written approval.

Disclaimer of Warranties

THE WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT ON IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. NEXT LEGAL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEXT LEGAL AND ITS MEMBERS, ATTORNEYS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE WEBSITE OR ANY CONTENT ON IT, OR YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY CONTENT ON IT, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF NEXT LEGAL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION DOES NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AND IT DOES NOT LIMIT ANY OBLIGATION THAT NEXT LEGAL OWES TO A CLIENT UNDER AN ENGAGEMENT LETTER OR APPLICABLE RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Next Legal and its members, attorneys, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to your breach of these Terms of Use or your misuse of the Website.

Governing Law; Venue; Jury Waiver

These Terms of Use, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the Website, are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any such dispute must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection based on venue or inconvenient forum. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any such dispute will be resolved on an individual basis, and you waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, or representative action. EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE. Nothing in this section limits Next Legal’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or the security of the Website. If you are a consumer residing outside the United States, this section does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. This section does not apply to any dispute between Next Legal and a client relating to legal services, which is governed by the applicable engagement letter.

Changes to These Terms of Use

We may revise these Terms of Use at any time by posting the revised version on the Website and updating the “Last Updated” date above. Revised terms apply to your use of the Website after they are posted, and your continued use of the Website after that means you accept the revised terms.

Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. These Terms of Use, together with Part II, are the entire agreement between you and Next Legal regarding the Website and supersede any prior agreement regarding the Website; they do not supersede or modify any engagement letter. This document may be made available in languages other than English for convenience only. If there is any conflict between the English version and a translation, the English version controls.
