that we offer, provides general information and resources,

and allows you to contact us.

The words “KLC,” "Kroll Law,"“we,” “ us,” or “our” refer to Kroll Law

Corporation which operates as a corporation in California.  

All references to “ website” includes KLC websites that post

a link to this Terms of Use (“Terms”), including this website

that are operated for KLC by service providers under

agreement with the KLC.

These Terms of Use govern your use of our website,

including, without limitation, both mobile and online versions

of our website. By using any one of them, you accept, and

consent to the collection and use of your data in accordance

with, our Privacy Policy. By using our website, you further

agree that we may change, alter, or modify the settings or

configurations on your Device (defined in Paragraph 5(C)

below) in order to allow for or optimize your use of the

websites.

We reserve the right to terminate or limit your access to the

websites for any violation of these Terms, or for any other

reason, at our sole discretion.

1.  Disclaimer

Use of the Websites does not create an Attorney-Client

Relationship. No attorney-client relationship between you

and the KLC is or may be created by your access to or use

of the websites or any information contained on them.  The

website is designed for general information, only.  The

information presented on our website is not meant to be

legal advice nor does the use of this site create an attorney-

client relationship. The only way to become our client is

through a written agreement signed by both you and the

KLC.  

Any information you submit to us by phone, through the

website or by email will not be considered confidential and

may be subject to applicable disclosure and reporting

requirements, as required by law. If you are considering

asking us to represent you, please call us or otherwise

contact us through our website so that we can determine

whether we are willing or able to undertake your

representation in the matter. In addition to a phone number

to contact us, the website includes a submission form

through which you can request that we contact you about

our potentially representing you.

Contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Information on our website is meant only for residents of

California.  We do not seek to represent any person based

solely on that person’s visit to our web site.  Our attorneys

are licensed to practice in California.  We represent personal

injury clients, insurance bad faith clients and class

action clients throughout the state of California.   

(B) If You have not entered into a Written Agreement,

signed by both you and the KLC, for us to represent

you, do not Submit Confidential or Sensitive

Information. If you submit information to us by email or

otherwise through a website in connection with a matter for

which we do not presently represent you, you acknowledge

that it will not be considered to be confidential and consent

to our sharing it with other attorneys and law firms to

determine whether we will agree to represent you. We

cannot represent you until we know that doing so will not

create a conflict-of-interest. Accordingly, please do not send

us any information about any matter that may involve you or

the matter until you and the KLC enter into a written

agreement, signed by both you and KLC, stating that we

agree to represent you. You recognize that any information

that you submit and our review of your information will not

preclude any lawyer at KLC from representing a party

directly adverse to you, in any matter where that information

is relevant, even if that information is highly confidential and

could be used against you and even if it is transmitted in a

good faith effort to retain us. We reserve the right to decline

any representation.

(C) You Should Not Rely on the Information Contained

on the Website. The information provided on the website is

general in nature and does not apply to any particular

factual, legal, medical, financial, insurance, or other

situation. As such, you should not rely on any information on

our website. You should consult an attorney for legal advice

regarding your individual situation and should seek other

professional advice (for example, but not by way of

limitation, medical, health care, insurance, financial, tax

advice) as you determine appropriate.

Any opinions expressed may not reflect the opinions of KLC

or any individual attorney. Although we strive to keep the

content on the websites relevant and useful, laws are often

changing, and we cannot guarantee that all of the content is

complete, accurate or current.

sounds, music, audio, videos, information, content,

ratings, reviews, data, questions, suggestions,

interest that you have in your User-Generated Content

and you remain ultimately responsible for it.

ii Non-Confidentiality of Your User-Generated Content. You

obligation of any kind to you or any third party with

respect to your User-Generated Content.

iii License to KLC of Your User-Generated Content. You

hereby grant to KLC, the non-exclusive, unrestricted,

unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable,

perpetual, and cost-free right and license to use, copy,

record, distribute, reproduce, disclose, sell, re-sell,

sublicense (through multiple levels), display, publicly

perform, transmit, publish, broadcast, translate, make

derivative works of, and otherwise use and exploit in

any manner whatsoever, all or any portion of your User-

Generated Content (and derivative works thereof), for

any purpose whatsoever in all formats, on or through

any means or medium now known or hereafter

developed, and with any technology or devices now

known or hereafter developed, and to advertise,

market, and promote the same. Without limitation, the

granted rights include the right to: (a) configure, host,

Content, without any obligation or remuneration to you.

Except as prohibited by law, you hereby waive, and you

agree to waive, any moral rights (including attribution

and integrity) that you may have in any User-Generated

Content, even if it is altered or changed in a manner not

agreeable to you. To the extent not waivable, you

irrevocably agree not to exercise such rights (if any) in

a manner that interferes with any exercise of the

granted rights. You understand that you will not receive

any fees, sums, consideration, or remuneration for any

of the rights granted in this Section 4(A)(iii).

iv The KLC’s Exclusive Right to Manage our Websites.

KLC may, but will not have any obligation to, review,

monitor, display, post, store, maintain, accept, or

otherwise make use of, any of your User-Generated

Content, and KLC may, in its sole discretion, reject,

delete, move, re-format, remove or refuse to post or

otherwise make use of User-Generated Content without

notice or any liability to you or any third party in

Content venues in an appropriate manner. Without

limitation, we may do so to address content that comes

to our attention that we believe is offensive, obscene,

lewd, lascivious, violent, harassing, threatening,

abusive, illegal or otherwise objectionable or

inappropriate, or to enforce the rights of third parties or

these Terms, including without limitation, the content

restrictions set forth below in the Community Rules

(defined in Section 4 (B)). Such User-Generated

Content submitted by you or others need not be

maintained on the websites by us for any period of time

and you will not have the right, once submitted, to

access, archive, maintain, or otherwise use such User-

Generated Content on the websites or elsewhere.

v Representations and Warranties Related to Your User-

Generated Content. Each time you submit any User-

Generated Content, you represent and warrant that you

are at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction in

which you reside and are the parent or legal guardian,

or have all proper consents from the parent or legal

guardian, of any minor who is depicted in or contributed

to any User-Generated Content you submit, and that,

as to that User-Generated Content, (a) you are the sole

author and owner of the intellectual property and other

rights to the User-Generated Content, or you have a

lawful right to submit the User-Generated Content and

grant KLC the rights to it that you are granting by these

Terms, all without any KLC obligation to obtain consent

of any third party and without creating any obligation or

liability of KLC; (b) the User-Generated Content is

accurate; (c) the User-Generated Content does not

and, as to KLC’s permitted uses and exploitation set

forth in these Terms, will not infringe any intellectual

property or other right of any third party; and (d)the

User-Generated Content will not violate these Terms

(including the Community Rules), or cause injury or

harm to any person.

vi Enforcement. KLC has no obligation to monitor or

enforce your intellectual property rights to your User-

Generated Content, but you grant us the right to protect

and enforce our rights to your User-Generated Content,

including by bringing and controlling actions in your

name and on your behalf (at KLC’s cost and expense,

to which you hereby consent and irrevocably appoint

KLC as your attorney-in-fact, with the power of

substitution and delegation, which appointment is

coupled with an interest).

(B) Community Rules. As a user of the websites, these

Community Rules (“Community Rules”) are here to help

you understand the conduct that is expected of members of

the websites’ blogs, rating functionality and similar places

where you can post comments on the websites (collectively,

“Communities”).

(i) Nature of Rules. Your participation in the Communities is

subject to all of the Terms, including these Rules:

• Your User-Generated Content. All of your User-Generated

Content either must be original with you or you must

have all necessary rights in it from third parties in order

to permit you to comply with these Terms

• No Pictures, Videos, or Images of Anyone Other Than You

and Your Friends and Family. If you choose to submit

photos to the websites, link to embedded videos, or

include other images of real people, then make sure

they are of you or of you and someone you know – and

only if you have their express permission to submit it.

• Act Appropriately. All of your activities on the websites

must be venue appropriate, as determined by us. Be

respectful of others’ opinions and comments so we can

continue to build Communities for everyone to enjoy. If

you think your User-Generated Content might offend

someone or be embarrassing to someone, then

chances are it probably will and it doesn’t belong on the

websites. Cursing, harassing, stalking, insulting

comments, personal attacks, gossip, and similar actions

are prohibited. Your User-Generated Content must not

threaten, abuse, or harm others, and it must not include

any negative comments that are connected to race,

national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or physical

handicap. Your User-Generated Content must not be

defamatory, slanderous, indecent, obscene,

pornographic, or sexually explicit.

• Do Not Use for Commercial or Political Purposes. Your

User-Generated Content must not advertise or promote

a product or service or other commercial activity, or a

politician, public servant, or law.

• Do Not Use for Inappropriate Purposes. Your User-

Generated Content must not promote any infringing,

illegal, or other similarly inappropriate activity.

• Be Honest and Do Not Misrepresent Yourself or Your User-

Generated Content. Do not impersonate any other

person, user, or company, and do not submit User-

Generated Content that you believe may be false,

fraudulent, deceptive, inaccurate, or misleading, or that

misrepresents your identity or affiliation with a person or

company.

• Others Can See. We hope that you will use the

Communities to exchange information and content and

have venue appropriate discussions with other

members. However, please remember that the

Communities are public or semi-public and User-

Generated Content that you submit on the Service

within a Community may be accessible and viewable by

other users. Do not submit personally identifying

information (e.g., first and last name together,

password, phone number, address, credit card number,

medical information, e-mail address, or other personally

identifiable information or contact information) on

Community spaces and take care when disclosing this

type of information to others.

• Don’t Share Other Peoples’ Personal Information. Your

User-Generated Content should not reveal another

person’s address, phone number, e-mail address,

social security number, credit card number, medical

information, financial information, or any other

information that may be used to track, contact, or

impersonate that individual, unless, and in the form and

by the method, specifically requested by KLC.

• Don’t Damage the Websites or Anyone’s Computers or

Other Devices. Your User-Generated Content must not

submit viruses, Trojan horses, spyware, or any other

technologies or malicious code that could impact the

operation of the websites or any computer or other

Device (as defined in Paragraph 5(C) below).

If you submit User-Generated Content that KLC reasonably

believes violates these Rules, then we may discontinue your

access to the websites without prior notice to you and take

any legally available action that we deem appropriate, in our

sole discretion. However, we are not obligated to take any

action not required by law.

(ii) Your Interactions with Other Users; Disputes. You are

solely responsible for your interaction with other users of the

websites, whether online or offline. We are not responsible

or liable for the conduct or content of any user. We reserve

the right, but have no obligation, to monitor or become

involved in disputes between you and other users. Exercise

common sense and your best judgment in your interactions

with others (e.g., when you submit any personal or other

information) and in all of your other online activities.

(C)  Alerting Us of Violations. If you discover any content

that violates these Terms, then you may report it

to: info@krollcorporation.com. For alleged infringements

of copyright, see Section 11 below.
