Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at www.wellslegal.org (the “Site”) operated by W&A, PLLC (“W&A,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

These Terms apply to use of the Site only. They are not an engagement agreement for legal services. Legal representation, if any, is governed by a separate written engagement agreement and applicable Utah law and professional rules.

1. Firm Information

• Firm: W&A, PLLC
• Website: https://www.wellslegal.org
• Phone: (385) 534-5472
• Email: info@wellslegal.org
• Primary service area: State of Utah

2. Attorney Advertising Notice

This Site may constitute attorney advertising under the Utah Rules of Professional Conduct and related guidance of the Utah State Bar. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each matter is different, and results depend on the facts, law, and other variables. Nothing on this Site is a guarantee, warranty, or prediction of any particular result.

Testimonials and reviews, including those linked from or displayed on the Site, reflect the experience of the individuals who provided them and are not necessarily representative of all clients. We do not pay for favorable reviews.

3. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Disclosure

W&A, PLLC uses artificial intelligence tools throughout the firm’s work, including to assist with research, drafting, analysis, communication, and administrative tasks, as well as portions of content on this Site. AI is used as a support tool only. All material work product and Site content assisted by AI is reviewed by a licensed attorney of W&A, PLLC before it is relied upon or published. AI tools do not provide legal advice, do not create an attorney-client relationship, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for individualized legal counsel from a licensed Utah attorney. Client confidentiality and professional judgment remain the responsibility of the firm’s attorneys.

4. No Legal Advice; No Attorney-Client Relationship

Content on the Site—including articles, practice-area descriptions, FAQs, blog posts (if any), forms, and general statements about the law—is for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.

Your use of the Site, submission of a contact form, email, phone call, or booking of a consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship with W&A or any of its attorneys. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when we agree to represent you, typically through a written engagement agreement, and after we have confirmed that representation is appropriate (including conflict checks).

Do not send confidential or sensitive information about a legal matter through the Site until we have confirmed that we can represent you. Unsolicited information sent to us does not create an attorney-client relationship and may not be treated as privileged if no relationship is formed.

5. No Attorney-Client Privilege from Website Use Alone

Communications through the Site are not automatically protected by the attorney-client privilege. Privilege and confidentiality generally arise in the context of an attorney-client relationship and depend on the circumstances under Utah and federal law.

6. Eligibility and Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

• Use the Site in any way that violates applicable federal, state, or local law (including Utah law)
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, servers, or related systems
• Interfere with or disrupt the Site, including through malware, scraping that overloads systems, or bots
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information
• Use the Site to harass, abuse, or harm any person, or to solicit us for illegal purposes
• Copy, scrape, or republish Site content for commercial use without our prior written consent

We may suspend or terminate access to the Site at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms.

7. Consultations and Contact Forms

Free consultations, business calls, or similar offers described on the Site are subject to availability, conflicts checks, and our professional judgment. We may decline representation for any reason consistent with applicable ethics rules.

Scheduling tools (including third-party calendar links) and contact forms are provided for convenience. We do not guarantee response times, though we strive to respond promptly during normal business hours.

8. Fees and Engagement

Any discussion of fees, flat-fee options, free consultations, or similar pricing language on the Site is general information only and does not constitute a binding fee quote. Actual fees, scope of work, and payment terms are established only in a written engagement agreement (or other writing we provide) for a specific matter.

9. Intellectual Property

The Site and its content—including text, graphics, logos, images, layout, and compilation—are owned by W&A or its licensors and are protected by United States and Utah intellectual property laws. You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial use related to evaluating our services. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from Site content without our prior written permission, except as allowed by fair use or other applicable law.

10. Third-Party Links and Tools

The Site may link to third-party websites or tools (for example, online scheduling, Google reviews, or social media). We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, privacy practices, or availability. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

11. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information through the Site is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.

12. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components, or that content is complete, accurate, or up to date for your situation.

Laws change and facts vary. Information on the Site may become outdated. You should not act or refrain from acting based solely on Site content without seeking individualized legal advice from a licensed attorney.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, W&A, PLLC AND ITS ATTORNEYS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SITE OR RELIANCE ON SITE CONTENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Utah law, or liability arising from an attorney-client engagement governed by a separate agreement and professional standards.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless W&A, PLLC and its attorneys, members, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your misuse of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another person, to the extent permitted by law.

15. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict-of-law principles that would require application of another jurisdiction’s laws, except that professional responsibility obligations of attorneys remain governed by applicable ethics rules.

Subject to any mandatory law to the contrary, you agree that exclusive venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms shall be in the state or federal courts located in the State of Utah, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

16. Dispute Resolution Preference

Before filing a lawsuit related solely to use of the Site (and not related to a legal engagement), you agree to first contact us at info@wellslegal.org and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Site with a new “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, to the extent permitted by law.

18. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding use of the Site and supersede prior agreements regarding the Site. They do not supersede any written engagement agreement for legal services.
