Terms of Service
Moritz Law, a Professional Corporation
Effective Date: June 15, 2026
Last Updated: June 15, 2026
IMPORTANT. These Terms contain a binding arbitration agreement and class-action waiver governing certain disputes (Section 16). Disputes arising out of legal services we provide (including malpractice, fee disputes, and breach of fiduciary duty) are not subject to that agreement and are governed by your engagement letter. Please read these Terms carefully.
Introduction and Acceptance
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you (“you”) and Moritz Law, a Professional Corporation (“Moritz Law”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), governing your access to and use of https://www.moritzlegal.com (the “Site”), our online intake forms, our client portal, and related online services (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy (https://www.moritzlegal.com/privacy), incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. You must be at least 18 and have legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
Engagement letter controls. If you are a client, you also have a written engagement letter. Where these Terms and your engagement letter address the same subject matter, your engagement letter controls with respect to your matter. These Terms continue to govern your use of the Site, the Platform, and the Services as a technology service.
2. The Platform and Our Technology Vendor
The Services run on a software platform (the “Platform”) licensed to Moritz Law by Parlai, Inc. (“Parlai”). Parlai operates the Platform on our behalf as our service provider and processor under written agreements with confidentiality and security commitments consistent with our professional-responsibility obligations. Your agreement is with Moritz Law; “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Moritz Law unless the context refers to Parlai’s role.
3. Legal Services and the Attorney–Client Relationship
3.1 Moritz Law is a law firm. The attorney responsible for the Services is available on request at legal@moritzlegal.com.
3.2 The Site is not legal advice. Site content (blog posts, FAQs, articles, summaries, and other public content) is general information only and does not constitute legal advice. Using the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship.
3.3 No relationship from inquiries alone. Submitting an intake form or communicating with us does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship. A relationship is established only when (i) we have completed a conflict check and confirmed in writing that we are willing to represent you, and (ii) a written engagement letter is signed by you and an authorized representative of Moritz Law. Until then, we are not your attorneys; do not send confidential information beyond what is needed to evaluate the engagement. We treat information submitted through intake consistent with the duties owed to prospective clients under applicable rules of professional conduct.
3.4 Jurisdictional scope. Moritz Law’s attorneys are admitted to practice in one or more U.S. jurisdictions. Where a matter requires advice on the law of another jurisdiction, we engage admitted local counsel there as our subcontractor. We do not hold ourselves out as authorized to practice where we are not admitted, and nothing in the Services should be construed as offering legal services in violation of any jurisdiction’s unauthorized-practice rules.
4. Eligibility and Accounts
4.1 Eligibility. To use the Services you must be at least 18, have legal capacity, and not be barred from receiving services from a U.S.-based provider under applicable law (including U.S. sanctions laws).
4.2 Client portal accounts. We may provision a client portal account for clients in connection with an active engagement and a signed engagement letter. You agree to: provide accurate registration information and keep it current; keep your credentials confidential; use multi-factor authentication when offered; promptly notify us of any unauthorized use; and be responsible for activity under your account, except to the extent caused by our breach. If you are a client, you agree we may use the Platform as the primary channel for client communications and document exchange, including privileged communications, operated by Parlai as our processor under obligations consistent with applicable rules of professional conduct and recognized guidance on cloud-based service providers.
Your Content
5.1 Definitions. “User Content” means information, materials, communications, documents, and files you submit through the Services, including intake submissions and portal messages and documents. “Client Matter Content” means User Content submitted by a client in connection with our representation; it is a subset of User Content and is also subject to the rules of professional conduct, the attorney-client privilege, and the work product doctrine.
5.2 Your representations. By submitting User Content, you represent that you have all rights and authority necessary to submit it and grant the licenses below; that it does not violate any law, infringe any third-party right, or breach any confidentiality duty; that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge; and that it contains no malicious code.
5.3 License to Moritz Law. Subject to our Privacy Policy and, if you are a client, your engagement letter, you grant Moritz Law and its service providers (including Parlai) a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, transmit, process, analyze, display, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, and otherwise use User Content to: operate, provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Services; perform legal services for clients (for Client Matter Content); evaluate prospective engagements and run conflict checks; comply with law and our professional-responsibility obligations; and develop, train, fine-tune, test, validate, and improve artificial-intelligence and machine-learning tools (“AI Tools”).
We will handle Client Matter Content consistent with our confidentiality, privilege, and professional-responsibility obligations, and will not use User Content in any manner intended to waive any applicable privilege or protection. Where User Content constitutes special category data under GDPR/UK GDPR Article 9, we use it for AI Tool development only with explicit consent (typically through your engagement letter) or as otherwise permitted under Article 9.
If you are a client, the use of Client Matter Content for the purposes in this Section 5.3 is governed by your engagement letter, which controls, including any right to opt out of AI training, fine-tuning, and third-party licensing.
5.4 Ownership. As between you and Moritz Law, you retain ownership of your User Content. The license in Section 5.3 does not transfer ownership.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to: violate any law or third-party right, or breach any confidentiality duty you owe; use the Services for fraud or to mislead; submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, obscene, infringing, or that promotes violence or discrimination; upload malicious code or attempt to disrupt, probe, or bypass the security of the Services; reverse-engineer the Platform except as applicable law permits; use automated means to harvest content (other than search-engine indexing of public Site content per our robots.txt); send spam; resell or commercially exploit the Services except as we agree in writing; or use the Services for the benefit of any person or country subject to U.S. sanctions or export controls. We may investigate suspected violations and suspend or terminate access. For clients, termination of representation is governed by the rules of professional conduct and your engagement letter.
7. Intake and Prospective Clients
Our public intake form lets prospective clients inquire about representation. No attorney-client relationship forms until we have cleared conflicts and you have signed an engagement letter (Section 3.3). Please provide only the information needed to evaluate the engagement, and avoid highly sensitive details until we confirm we can represent you. We treat intake information as confidential consistent with applicable rules of professional conduct and our Privacy Policy, and may use it to run conflict checks and evaluate the engagement. If we cannot represent you, we will tell you and handle your information consistent with our professional-responsibility obligations. Submitting an intake form does not pause or extend any statute of limitations or deadline; if your matter is time-sensitive, consult an attorney without delay.
8. Fees
Fees, costs, and billing for legal services are governed by your engagement letter. We do not separately charge for access to or use of the Site or Platform.
9. Intellectual Property
9.1 Site, Platform, and marks. The Site, the Platform, and all related software, designs, content, and materials (other than User Content) are owned by Moritz Law and/or Parlai (and our and their licensors) and protected by intellectual-property laws. “Moritz Law” and our logos are trademarks of Moritz Law, a Professional Corporation. Other trademarks belong to their respective owners.
9.2 Limited license to you. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site and (if applicable) your portal account for the permitted purposes. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.
9.3 Feedback. If you give us feedback about the Services, you grant Moritz Law and Parlai a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable license to use and exploit it for any lawful purpose without obligation to you.
9.4 Copyright (DMCA). To report content on the Site that infringes your copyright, send a notice to dmca@moritzlegal.com with: (a) your signature; (b) identification of the work; (c) identification of the infringing material and where to find it; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act for the owner. We may remove infringing material and terminate repeat infringers.
10. Privacy and Electronic Communications
Our handling of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy (https://www.moritzlegal.com/privacy). By using the Services, you consent to receive communications electronically and agree they satisfy any legal writing requirement, except where applicable law provides otherwise. You may withdraw consent by contacting us, though doing so may make it impractical to provide the Services.
11. Third-Party Services and Links
The Services may link to or rely on third-party services (such as payment processors, identity-verification, e-signature, AI-infrastructure, and analytics providers). Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Moritz Law is not responsible for them and does not endorse them by linking or integrating.
12. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
This Section 12 applies to your use of the Site, Platform, and Services as a technology offering. It does not apply to claims for legal malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, fee disputes, or other claims arising out of legal services under your engagement letter (governed by that letter and applicable law), or to any liability that cannot be disclaimed or limited under applicable law (including consumer-protection laws and rules of professional conduct). Fiduciary duties to clients are governed by the rules of professional conduct and the engagement letter, not this Section.
Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS OR YOUR ENGAGEMENT LETTER, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MORITZ LAW AND PARLAI DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
Excluded damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MORITZ LAW AND PARLAI WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, GOODWILL, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
Liability cap. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF MORITZ LAW AND PARLAI ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS YOU PAID FOR THE TECHNOLOGY SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
Consumers. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that does not allow certain exclusions or limitations, the above apply only to the extent permitted by law.
13. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without cause or notice, including for violation of these Terms. Termination of access does not, by itself, terminate an attorney-client relationship; termination of representation is governed by the rules of professional conduct and your engagement letter.
14. Indemnification
You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Moritz Law and Parlai (and our respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents) from any third-party claim, loss, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of: (a) your User Content; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of law; or (d) your violation of any third-party right. This does not apply to claims arising out of legal services we provide, which are governed by your engagement letter and applicable law. We may assume exclusive defense and control of any indemnified matter, and you will cooperate; you may not settle any such claim without our prior written consent.
15. Modifications
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services at any time. We may also update these Terms; when we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date and, for material changes, provide additional notice (for example, by email or a Site banner). Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. Material changes affecting an existing client engagement will be communicated separately and consistent with our professional-responsibility obligations.
16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
16.1 Scope. This Section applies to any dispute between you and Moritz Law arising out of your use of the Site, Platform, or Services as a technology offering (“Covered Disputes”). It does not apply to: any claim arising out of legal services under an engagement letter (including malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty or confidentiality, fee disputes, or professional-conduct violations); any claim that applicable law or professional rules require to follow a different procedure (such as mandatory fee arbitration with the applicable state bar); qualifying small-claims actions; and actions for injunctive relief to protect intellectual property or prevent irreparable harm. Excluded disputes are governed by your engagement letter (where applicable) and otherwise by Section 17.
16.2 Mediation then arbitration. Before arbitrating, the parties will attempt to resolve a Covered Dispute through JAMS mediation, initiated by written notice (to legal@moritzlegal.com if to Moritz Law). If not resolved within 60 days, either party may initiate binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its applicable rules, before a single arbitrator (not the mediator). The seat is San Francisco, California, and the language is English. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section.
16.3 Class-action waiver. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND MORITZ LAW EACH AGREE THAT COVERED DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to any claim or remedy, that claim or remedy will be severed and may proceed in court.
16.4 Costs. JAMS’ rules govern allocation of fees and costs, and we will pay administrative and arbitrator fees that JAMS’ consumer rules require us to pay. Each party otherwise bears its own attorneys’ fees, except where the arbitrator awards them under applicable law.
16.5 Opt-out. You may opt out of this Section by written notice to legal@moritzlegal.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, address, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
16.6 Severability. If any part of this Section (other than the class-action waiver) is unenforceable, it is severed and the rest remains in effect. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that does not permit pre-dispute arbitration of consumer claims, this Section applies only to the extent permitted by law.
17. Governing Law
These Terms, and any non-contractual obligations relating to them, are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and by U.S. federal law where applicable. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. If you are a consumer ordinarily resident in the EU, UK, EEA, Switzerland, Australia, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer-protection rights, nothing here deprives you of those protections. Disputes arising out of legal services are governed by the choice of law and forum in your engagement letter.
18. International Users
Moritz Law operates from the United States. Where you access the Services from outside the United States, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law. Some features may not be available in all jurisdictions. If you are a consumer in Australia, nothing in these Terms excludes rights under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.
19. Miscellaneous
These Terms (with our Privacy Policy and, for clients, your engagement letter) are the entire agreement regarding the Services and supersede prior understandings; your engagement letter controls any conflict on a matter it addresses. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect (except as stated in Section 16.6). You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to our continuing professional-responsibility obligations. Except for Parlai (Sections 12 and 14), these Terms create no third-party-beneficiary rights. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control. We may give notices to you by email, Site posting, or in-platform message; notices to us go to legal@moritzlegal.com and by mail to Moritz Law, a Professional Corporation, 455 Market St, Ste 1940, PMB 320349, San Francisco, California 94105-2448. Headings are for convenience; “including” is not limiting.
The following survive termination: Sections 5.3, 5.4, 9, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, and 19, and any provision that by its nature should survive.

16.5 Opt-out. You may opt out of this Section by written notice to legal@moritzlegal.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, address, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
16.6 Severability. If any part of this Section (other than the class-action waiver) is unenforceable, it is severed and the rest remains in effect. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that does not permit pre-dispute arbitration of consumer claims, this Section applies only to the extent permitted by law.
17. Governing Law
These Terms, and any non-contractual obligations relating to them, are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and by U.S. federal law where applicable. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. If you are a consumer ordinarily resident in the EU, UK, EEA, Switzerland, Australia, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer-protection rights, nothing here deprives you of those protections. Disputes arising out of legal services are governed by the choice of law and forum in your engagement letter.
18. International Users
Moritz Law operates from the United States. Where you access the Services from outside the United States, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law. Some features may not be available in all jurisdictions. If you are a consumer in Australia, nothing in these Terms excludes rights under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.
19. Miscellaneous
These Terms (with our Privacy Policy and, for clients, your engagement letter) are the entire agreement regarding the Services and supersede prior understandings; your engagement letter controls any conflict on a matter it addresses. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect (except as stated in Section 16.6). You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to our continuing professional-responsibility obligations. Except for Parlai (Sections 12 and 14), these Terms create no third-party-beneficiary rights. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control. We may give notices to you by email, Site posting, or in-platform message; notices to us go to legal@moritzlegal.com and by mail to Moritz Law, a Professional Corporation, 455 Market St, Ste 1940, PMB 320349, San Francisco, California 94105-2448. Headings are for convenience; “including” is not limiting.
The following survive termination: Sections 5.3, 5.4, 9, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, and 19, and any provision that by its nature should survive.
