OVERVIEW Welcome to the Law Office of Jonathan Gross. The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Law Office of Jonathan Gross.

The Law Office of Jonathan Gross operates this website, including all related information, content, features, tools, and services (the “Services”), in order to provide you, the visitor or prospective client, with professional legal information and a curated client experience. The Law Office of Jonathan Gross is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you.

The below terms and conditions, together with any policies referenced herein (these “Terms of Service” or “Terms”), describe your rights and responsibilities when you use the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights and cover areas such as warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.

By visiting, interacting with, or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, you should not use or access our Services.

SECTION 1 – ACCESS AND ACCOUNT By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you have parental or guardian consent if you are a minor.

You represent and warrant that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete, and that you have the right to provide such information.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials (if applicable) and for all activity that occurs under your account. You may not transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to any other person.

SECTION 2 – OUR SERVICES AND WEBSITE CONTENT We have made every effort to provide accurate and up-to-date legal information on our website.

We do not warrant that the content on the Services will meet your specific needs or expectations, or that it is complete, accurate, or current. Legal information can change rapidly, and you should consult with an attorney for advice regarding your specific situation.

All descriptions and content on the Services are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion.

SECTION 3 – CLIENT INQUIRIES AND ENGAGEMENT Submitting an inquiry or contact form on the Services does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we have expressly agreed to represent you in a specific matter and you have signed a formal engagement agreement.

We reserve the right to decline any potential client or matter for any reason. We may be unable to accommodate all inquiries due to conflicts of interest, capacity, or other professional considerations.

Any payments made through the Services (such as for retainers or legal fees) are subject to our billing policies and any applicable engagement agreement.

SECTION 4 – PRICES AND BILLING Any fees, rates, or payment amounts displayed on the Services are subject to change without notice. The amount charged will be the amount in effect at the time of payment or as agreed in a formal engagement letter.
