Terms of Service

LegalFormsOS — Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-07-14. Version: 2026-07-14.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, A CLASS-ACTION WAIVER, A JURY-TRIAL WAIVER, AND LIMITATIONS ON OUR LIABILITY. BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT CREATE AN ACCOUNT AND DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.

1. WHO WE ARE AND WHAT THIS SERVICE IS. LegalFormsOS ("LegalFormsOS," "we," "us," or "our") provides document-automation software that helps a user assemble, populate, and manage self-prepared Florida family-law forms based on information the user enters. LegalFormsOS IS SOFTWARE ONLY. LegalFormsOS IS NOT a law firm, is NOT a lawyer, is NOT a licensed legal-document preparer service, and is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any court, clerk, government agency, or bar association. Using the Service does not create an attorney-client relationship, a fiduciary relationship, or any professional-services relationship of any kind. We do not review your documents for legal sufficiency, do not provide legal advice, and do not tell you which forms to file or how to conduct your matter.

2. NOT LEGAL ADVICE; NO PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP. Nothing produced by, displayed in, or generated through the Service is legal advice, tax advice, financial advice, or a substitute for the judgment of a licensed professional. Any readiness score, completeness indicator, checklist, validation result, "ready" signal, or similar output is a software convenience only — it is NEVER a representation, warranty, or guarantee that a document is correct, complete, current, compliant, or acceptable to any court or agency. You are solely responsible for deciding whether any document is appropriate for your situation and for having it reviewed by a licensed attorney if you wish.

3. ELIGIBILITY; YOUR REPRESENTATIONS. You represent and warrant that: (a) you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter this agreement; (b) you are either (i) a licensed attorney or licensed professional (such as a CPA) acting within the scope of your license, or (ii) an individual preparing your own documents for your own matter (pro se); (c) you are legally authorized to prepare and use the documents you generate and will not engage in the unauthorized practice of law; (d) all information you enter is accurate, truthful, and lawfully obtained; and (e) your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws, rules of professional conduct, and court rules. You — not LegalFormsOS — are responsible for compliance with any unauthorized-practice-of-law rules and any professional-responsibility obligations.

4. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR REVIEW AND FILING. You are solely and exclusively responsible for reviewing, verifying, correcting, signing, notarizing, filing, and serving every document, and for meeting every deadline, procedural rule, and local requirement. Before filing anything, you must independently confirm that each form is the current official version, that it is filled out correctly, and that it satisfies the requirements of the specific court and county. LegalFormsOS does not file documents for you and does not monitor your matter.

5. WHAT YOU PAY FOR IS WHAT YOU GET; NO GUARANTEE OF OUTCOME. The Service sells software functionality and document generation — nothing more. WHAT YOU PAY FOR IS THE GENERATION OF THE DOCUMENT YOU REQUEST, NOT ANY LEGAL RESULT, ACCEPTANCE, APPROVAL, OR OUTCOME. We do not guarantee that any document will be accepted by any clerk, judge, or court; that any filing will succeed; or that any particular legal or financial result will occur. A rejection, denial, dismissal, delay, deficiency notice, or any other adverse outcome from any court, clerk, agency, or third party is NOT a defect in the Service and is NOT a basis for any refund, credit, or claim against us. See the Refund Policy.

6. PAYMENTS, CREDITS, AND REFUNDS. Fees are charged per output/document and/or by subscription and/or through a prepaid credit wallet, as shown at the time of purchase. Credits purchased with real money ("Paid Credits") are distinct from credits granted as a bonus, promotion, courtesy, or free allotment ("Bonus Credits"), which have NO cash value and are NEVER refundable. Except where a non-waivable law requires otherwise, all sales are final and refunds are governed exclusively by the Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. In short: rejected filings are never refundable; only the unused portion of Paid Credits may be eligible for a refund, and only subject to a 20% reprogramming/administration fee; Bonus and free credits are never refundable.

7. DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND EVERYTHING PROVIDED THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE FORMS ARE CURRENT, ACCURATE, COMPLETE, ERROR-FREE, OR ACCEPTABLE TO ANY COURT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any defect will be corrected. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LEGALFORMSOS AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY, OR FOR ANY LEGAL OUTCOME, MISSED DEADLINE, REJECTED FILING, OR ADVERSE RULING, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID US IN REAL CURRENCY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). These limitations apply regardless of the theory of liability and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (such as liability for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct).

9. INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LegalFormsOS and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) any document you generate, file, sign, notarize, serve, or rely upon; (c) your violation of these Terms or any law or professional rule; (d) any information you enter; or (e) any dispute between you and any court, agency, client, or third party.

10. ASSUMPTION OF RISK. You knowingly and voluntarily assume all risk arising from your use of self-prepared legal documents, including the risk that a document is rejected, insufficient, untimely, or produces an unfavorable result. You acknowledge that legal outcomes depend on many factors outside our control and that you have had the opportunity to consult a licensed attorney.

11. BINDING ARBITRATION; CLASS-ACTION WAIVER; JURY-TRIAL WAIVER. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. Except for the limited matters below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved exclusively by FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its applicable rules, and NOT in court. YOU AND LEGALFORMSOS EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity. The arbitrator, not any court, decides issues of the interpretation and enforceability of this arbitration agreement, except that a court of competent jurisdiction decides the enforceability of the class-action waiver. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court, and the rest of this section still applies. Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

30-DAY RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@legalformsos.com within 30 days after you first accept these Terms, stating your name, account email, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

12. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; TIME LIMIT TO BRING CLAIMS. These Terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, for arbitration, by the Federal Arbitration Act. For any matter not subject to arbitration, the exclusive venue is the state and federal courts located in Florida, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER IT ARISES, OR IT IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

13. ACCEPTABLE USE. You will not: reverse-engineer, scrape, resell, or misuse the Service; upload unlawful, infringing, or malicious content; attempt to access another user's account or data; use the Service to engage in the unauthorized practice of law; or use the Service in any way that violates law, court rules, or professional-conduct rules. We may suspend or terminate any account that violates these Terms, with or without notice.

14. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The Service, its software, design, and content (excluding the official government forms and your own data) are owned by LegalFormsOS and protected by law. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. You retain ownership of the data you enter; you grant us a limited license to process it solely to provide the Service.

15. ACCOUNT TERMINATION AND DATA DELETION. You may delete your account at any time. Upon deletion, your account is retained in a recoverable state for thirty (30) days and then permanently and irreversibly purged, as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate your access for any violation of these Terms or as required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including payment, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, arbitration, and governing law) survive.

16. CHANGES TO THE SERVICE AND TO THESE TERMS. We may modify or discontinue the Service or these Terms at any time. If we make a material change to these Terms, we will update the version and last-updated date and may require you to re-accept them. Your continued use after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

17. GENERAL. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions stay in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them freely. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, are the entire agreement between you and LegalFormsOS and supersede all prior understandings. We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
