The binding agreement between you and DivvyLaw, Inc.

DivvyLaw, operated by DivvyLaw, Inc.. a Delaware C-Corp

Effective Date: 10/1/2026 | Last Updated: 10/1/2026 | Version: 1.0

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding contract between you ("you," "your," or "User") and [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the website located at DivvyLaw.com, the DivvyLaw application, and all related content, videos, checklists, glossaries, form libraries, and features (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, completing a purchase, clicking "I agree," or accessing any part of the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Notice to the Consumer, each of which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.

You also consent to receive these Terms and all other notices, disclosures, and records relating to the Service in electronic form, and you agree that electronic delivery satisfies any legal requirement that such communications be in writing, consistent with the federal E-SIGN Act and California Civil Code section 1633.1 et seq. You may withdraw this consent by contacting us at [SUPPORT EMAIL], but doing so will end your ability to use the Service.

2. Definitions

• "Content" means all instructional videos, written materials, process maps, glossaries, timelines, checklists, worksheets, sample documents, and other materials made available through the Service.
• "Court Forms" means official forms published by the Judicial Council of California or by the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles or County of Orange, which we may link to, reproduce, or make available for your convenience.
• "User Data" means information you enter, upload to, or store within the Service, including notes, checklist responses, worksheet entries, uploaded documents, and case-organization information.
• "Covered Counties" means Los Angeles County and Orange County, California.

3. What the Service Is — and What It Is Not

This Section 3 is the most important part of these Terms. Your agreement to it is a condition of your access to the Service.

3.1 General Information Only; No Legal Advice

The Service provides general published factual information about California dissolution of marriage procedure, terminology, sequencing, and commonly encountered issues. It is educational in nature. Nothing in the Service is, or should be relied upon as, legal advice, a legal opinion, a recommendation, or a strategy for your particular situation. We do not analyze your facts, evaluate your claims or defenses, tell you which forms to file, tell you what to write on any form, tell you what to say in court, or advise you on whether any course of action is in your interest. We merely provide general factual information that allows you to effectively navigate your divorce without an attorney.

3.2 No Attorney-Client Relationship

The DivvyLaw platform is designed so that the information you provide is the same information that will be a public record before the Court. However, it is important to understand that Company is not a law firm. No employee, contractor, officer, agent, on-screen presenter, or representative of Company is acting as your attorney. Your use of the Service, your purchase of access, and any communication you have with us do not create an attorney-client relationship.

Because no attorney-client relationship exists, no attorney-client privilege and no work-product protection applies to anything you tell us or store with us. Information you submit to the Service is not confidential in the legal sense and may be discoverable by the opposing party in your case. See Section 8 and our Privacy Policy for further detail on this point, which we consider critical to your informed use of the Service.

3.3 We Provide General Legal Knowledge Pursuant to California Business and Professions Code section 6400(d)(2)

California Business and Professions Code section 6400(d)(2) provides that "providing general published factual information that has been written or approved by an attorney, pertaining to legal procedures, rights, or obligations to a person who is representing themselves in a legal matter, to assist the person in representing themselves . . . in and of itself, does not require registration as a legal document assistant." The Service is designed and operated to fall within that provision.

3.4 We Are Not a Legal Document Assistant

Accordingly, Company is not a registered legal document assistant under Business and Professions Code section 6400 et seq., is not an unlawful detainer assistant, and does not hold itself out as either. We do not complete, type, fill in, prepare, select, review, file, or serve any document for you, whether at your direction or otherwise. You alone select, complete, sign, file, and serve every document in your case.

3.5 Attorney-Reviewed Content

The general informational Content made available through the Service is written or approved by one or more attorneys licensed to practice in the State of California. Attorney authorship or approval of general Content does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and any such attorney, and no such attorney is representing you, reviewing your matter, or advising you.

3.5 Geographic and Subject-Matter Scope

The Service addresses dissolution of marriage and domestic partnership proceedings under California law, with procedural guidance oriented to the Superior Court of California for the Covered Counties. The Service is not designed for and should not be used in connection with proceedings in any other state, in any other California county, in federal court, in tribal court, or in any foreign jurisdiction. Local rules, standing orders, courtroom practices, filing procedures, and fees vary by county, by courthouse, and by department, and they change without notice to us.

3.6 You Are Self-Represented and Solely Responsible

If you proceed without an attorney, you are appearing "in propria persona" and California courts will hold you to the same standards as a licensed attorney. You are solely responsible for:

• deciding whether to represent yourself at all;
• selecting, completing, signing, filing, and serving all documents;
• calculating, calendaring, and meeting every statutory and court-imposed deadline;
• confirming current local rules, forms, fees, and procedures directly with the court;
• the accuracy and truthfulness of everything you submit to the court under penalty of perjury; and
• every decision you make and every consequence that follows.

3.7 No Guarantee of Outcome

We do not guarantee, warrant, or promise any result, including that your filings will be accepted, that your case will conclude within any period, that you will obtain any particular order regarding property, support, custody, or fees, or that using the Service will save you money. Outcomes in contested family law matters depend on facts, evidence, opposing parties, and judicial discretion that are outside our knowledge and control.

3.8 When You Should Consult a Licensed Attorney

The Service is not a substitute for advice from an attorney licensed in California. You should consider consulting an attorney if you want specific legal advise the pertains to you particular case and circumstances.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Service. The Service is not directed to and may not be used by minors. You represent that you are using the Service for your own personal, non-commercial purposes in connection with your own legal matter, and that you are not barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or California.

5. Accounts and Account Security

You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity occurring under your account. Notify us immediately at suppport@divvylaw.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

Accounts are personal to you. You may not share, sell, transfer, or allow others to use your account credentials. We may terminate accounts that are shared or used by more than one individual.

6. Purchase, Access Term, and Refunds

6.1 One-Time Purchase; No Automatic Renewal

Access to the Service is sold as a one-time purchase granting access to specific modules for eighteen months from the date of purchase (the "Access Term"). The Service does not automatically renew, and we will not charge your payment method again unless you affirmatively make a new purchase. No subscription is created, and no cancellation is necessary to avoid a recurring charge.

At the end of the Access Term your access will end. We will send a reminder to your registered email address at least thirty (30) days before expiration. You may purchase a new Access Term at the then-current price.

6.2 Price and Taxes

The price of the Service is displayed before purchase and is stated in U.S. dollars. You are responsible for any applicable sales, use, or similar taxes. We may change prices prospectively; a price change will not affect an Access Term you have already purchased.

6.3 Refund Policy

We offer a 30-day refund window. You may request a full refund within 30 days of purchase by emailing support@divvylaw.com, provided you have not viewed more than twenty percent of the video Content or downloaded more than one Court Form. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 30 business days. After the refund window closes, all sales are final except where a refund is required by law.

This refund policy does not limit any right you may have under the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, California Civil Code section 1750 et seq., or other applicable consumer protection law.

6.4 Payment Processing and Chargebacks

Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor. We do not receive or store your full payment card number. If you initiate a chargeback rather than requesting a refund through us, we may suspend or terminate your access pending resolution.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:

• use the Service to prepare, complete, or assist in preparing documents for any person other than yourself, whether or not for compensation (doing so may constitute the unauthorized practice of law under Business and Professions Code section 6125 or unregistered legal document assistant activity under section 6400 et seq.);

• record, screen-capture, download, mirror, or reproduce the video Content except for the limited personal-use downloads we expressly permit;

You retain all rights in your User Data. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, display, and process your User Data solely to operate, secure, and support the Service for you, and to comply with law. We do not sell your User Data, and we do not use the substance of your User Data for advertising or to train artificial intelligence models.

8.2 We Do Not Review Your User Data

We do not read, review, verify, correct, or monitor your User Data for accuracy, completeness, or legal sufficiency, and we have no obligation to do so. The Service performs no legal analysis of your entries.

8.3 Discoverability and Legal Process

We may be compelled to produce your User Data in response to a subpoena, court order, warrant, or other lawful process, including a subpoena issued by the opposing party in your own dissolution proceeding.

8.5 Deletion

You may delete your User Data at any time from within your account, and you may request deletion of your account as described in our Privacy Policy. Deletion is permanent and we cannot recover deleted User Data.

9. Intellectual Property

9.1 Our Content

The Content, the Service, and all software, design, text, graphics, video, audio, and compilations are owned by Company or its licensors and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment in full, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Content during your Access Term solely for your own personal use in connection with your own legal matter. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

9.2 Court Forms

Court Forms are published by the Judicial Council of California or the applicable Superior Court and are not our proprietary property. We provide them for convenience only. Court Forms are revised periodically and a form that is current today may be superseded or rejected tomorrow. Always verify that you are using the current mandatory version directly from courts.ca.gov or the clerk of the court before filing.

9.3 Feedback

If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it for any purpose without obligation to you.

10. Third-Party Content, Links, and Referrals

The Service may link to court websites, government resources, self-help centers, and third-party services. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, accuracy, or privacy practices. Any referral to an attorney, mediator, or other provider is for your convenience only, is not an endorsement or recommendation of that provider's suitability for your matter and creates no relationship between us and that provider. [If Company receives any compensation for a referral, that fact must be disclosed at the point of referral.]

11. Changes to the Service and Currency of Content

Family law statutes, Judicial Council forms, filing fees, and county local rules change frequently. We review Content periodically and display a "last reviewed" date, but Content may be out of date at any given moment and may not reflect the most recent legal developments. We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. If we discontinue the Service entirely during your Access Term, we will provide a pro-rata refund of the unused portion as your sole remedy.

12. Modification of These Terms

We may revise these Terms. We will post the revised Terms with an updated "Last Updated" date and, for material changes, provide at least 30 days' advance notice by email to your registered address. Material changes will not apply retroactively and will not apply to a dispute of which we have notice. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept a material change, you may stop using the Service and request a pro-rata refund of your unused Access Term within 30 days of the notice.

13. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you materially breach these Terms, if we reasonably believe your use creates legal risk to us or to another user, or if required by law. On termination for breach, no refund is due. Sections 3, 8.3, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 20 survive termination.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE CONTENT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR APPLICABLE TO YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES; THAT ANY COURT FORM PROVIDED IS THE CURRENT MANDATORY VERSION; THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; OR THAT ANY FILING PREPARED WITH REFERENCE TO THE CONTENT WILL BE ACCEPTED BY ANY COURT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMPANY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THIS EXCLUSION APPLIES TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, ANY ADVERSE OUTCOME IN YOUR LEGAL MATTER, ANY MISSED DEADLINE, ANY REJECTED OR DEFECTIVE FILING, ANY DEFAULT JUDGMENT, ANY WAIVED CLAIM OR RIGHT, ANY ORDER REGARDING PROPERTY, SUPPORT, CUSTODY, OR FEES, AND ANY SANCTION IMPOSED ON YOU.

COMPANY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID COMPANY IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, willful injury to the person or property of another, or violation of law, whether willful or negligent (California Civil Code section 1668). Nothing in these Terms waives or limits any right or remedy under the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, which may not be waived (California Civil Code section 1751). These limitations are a fundamental basis of the bargain and apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Company and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your use of the Service, (b) your User Data, (c) your violation of these Terms or of any law or court order, (d) your violation of the rights of any third party, including your spouse or former partner, or (e) any filing, position, or action you take in your legal matter. We will notify you of any such claim and may assume its exclusive defense at our expense, in which case you will cooperate with us. This provision does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own fraud, willful misconduct, or violation of law.

17. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

17.1 Informal Resolution First

Before initiating arbitration, you agree to send a written Notice of Dispute to legal@divvylaw.com and to 251 S Lake Ave Suite 800, Pasadena, CA 91101] describing the dispute, the relief sought, and your contact information. We will send any Notice of Dispute to your registered email address. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for 60 days after the Notice is received. This informal process is a condition precedent to arbitration, and the limitations period is tolled during it.

17.2 Agreement to Arbitrate

Except as provided in Section 17.4, you and Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, including their formation, interpretation, breach, enforceability, or termination, will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

17.3 Arbitration Procedure and Costs

Arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The seat of arbitration is in Los Angeles County, California, but you may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, by videoconference, or on documents only, or in the county of your residence. We will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees that exceed what you would have paid to file in court, except that if the arbitrator determines your claim is frivolous, fees may be reallocated under the AAA rules. The arbitrator may award any relief available in court on an individual basis and must issue a reasoned written decision.

17.4 Exceptions

Either party may (a) bring an individual action in small claims court if it qualifies, (b) seek injunctive relief in court to prevent infringement or misuse of intellectual property, and (c) bring an individual action for public injunctive relief in court to the extent such relief may not be compelled to arbitration under California law.

17.5 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver

Arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis only. You and Company each waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this Section 17.5 is found unenforceable as to any claim or request for relief, then this entire Section 17 is null and void as to that claim or request for relief, which will proceed in court under Section 18.

17.6 Your Right to opt Out

You may opt out of Section 17 by sending written notice within 30 days of the date you first accept these Terms to legal@divvylaw.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out," stating your full name, the email address on your account, and a clear statement that you decline arbitration. Opting out is free and will not affect your access to the Service.

17.7 Batching of Mass Filings

If 25 or more similar demands for arbitration are filed against Company by or with the assistance of the same law firm or coordinated group, the parties agree the demands will be administered in staged batches of no more than 50, with a single arbitrator per batch, and that the limitations period is tolled for demands in later batches.

17.8 CLRA Notice

If you intend to seek damages under the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, you must first provide the 30-day notice required by California Civil Code section 1782 to legal@divvylaw.com and 251 S Lake Ave Suite 800, Pasadena, CA 91101 Attention DivvyLaw.

17.9 Survival

This Section 17 survives termination of these Terms and your account.

18. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 17. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and Company consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in [COUNTY] County, California. Nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer protection law of your state of residence.

19. Copyright Complaints

If you believe Content infringes your copyright, send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to our designated agent at [DMCA AGENT NAME], [DMCA AGENT EMAIL], [MAILING ADDRESS], including the elements required by 17 U.S.C. section 512(c)(3). We will respond as required by law and may terminate repeat infringers.

20. General Provisions

• Entire Agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Notice to the Consumer are the entire agreement between you and Company regarding the Service and supersede all prior understandings.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect, subject to Section 17.5.
• No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to the commitments in our Privacy Policy.
• Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
• Notices. We may give notice by email to your registered address or by posting in the Service. You must give notice to legal@divvylaw.com
