Last updated December 4, 2023
AGREEMENT TO OUR LEGAL TERMS
We are Rowley Chapman & Barney, LTD (“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”), a company registered in Arizona, United States at 63 E Main St, Mesa, AZ 85201.
We operate the website azlegal.com (the “Site”), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the “Legal Terms”) (collectively, the “Services”).
These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you”), and Rowley Chapman & Barney, LTD, concerning your access to and use of the Services. You agree that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Legal Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.
Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Services from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Legal Terms from time to time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of these Legal Terms, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each such change. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Legal Terms to stay informed of updates. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised Legal Terms by your continued use of the Services after the date such revised Legal Terms are posted.
All users who are minors in the jurisdiction in which they reside (generally under the age of 18) must have the permission of, and be directly supervised by, their parent or guardian to use the Services. If you are a minor, you must have your parent or guardian read and agree to these Legal Terms prior to you using the Services.
1. OUR SERVICES
The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), etc.), so if your interactions would be subjected to such laws, you may not use the Services. You may not use the Services in a way that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).
2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
Our Intellectual Property
At Rowley Chapman & Barney, LTD, we are committed to protecting intellectual property rights, both our own and those of our clients. As a law firm with expertise in business law, we understand the critical importance of safeguarding intellectual property, such as trade names, designs, trade dress, and written works.
Our website, including all content, features, and functionality (such as text, graphics, logos, images, as well as the design, selection, and arrangement thereof), is owned by Rowley Chapman & Barney, LTD, its licensors, or other providers of such material and is protected by United States and international copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.
This intellectual property law protection extends to trade names and trademarks. For example, under Arizona Revised Statute § 44-1460.05, the registration of a trade name in Arizona can confer exclusive rights to the use of that name. The continual use of a name, even without registering, may establish certain rights. Our legal services include advising and assisting clients in registering and protecting their trade names and intellectual property, ensuring they receive the full benefit of these legal protections.

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY because it affects rights that you might otherwise have. It provides for the resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court proceedings.
Arbitration is different from court. There is no judge or jury, but the arbitrator can award damages. Arbitration is final, binding, and subject to only limited review by a court. You agree to give up your right to a trial in court except for certain small claims as described below. You agree that this arbitration section shall survive termination of these Terms. This section shall be broadly interpreted to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms. Any dispute or claim made by you against the Company or against any of our subsidiaries, parents, or affiliated companies arising out of these Terms, whether based on contract, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, tort, or any other legal theory, will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that you may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such court.
You must first present any claim or dispute to the Company by emailing us a complete description of the basis for the claim or dispute. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within sixty (60) days of you emailing the basis to us.
The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of a nationwide arbitration organization, as modified in these Terms. Any arbitration will be conducted in Arizona. An arbitrator may not (i) award relief in excess of or contrary to what these Terms provide; (ii) order consolidation or arbitration on a class-wide or representative basis, or (iii) award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, except that the arbitrator may award damages that any statute deems unwaivable and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute.

13. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO US DURING THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING. CERTAIN US STATE LAWS AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES.

17. MISCELLANEOUS
These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Legal Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Legal Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Legal Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms or use of the Services.
