J. MORGAN LEVY FIRM, PLLC WEBSITE TERMS OF USE

Effective Date: October 5, 2026

These Website Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the website operated by J. Morgan Levy Firm, PLLC (the “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including the website’s pages, content, features, forms, and related online services (collectively, the “Website”). By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and the Firm’s Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Website.

Article 1 — Website Purpose and Scope

  1. Informational Purpose. The Website provides general information about the Firm, its attorneys and other professionals, its practice areas, and legal or business developments. The Website is intended solely for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice, a legal opinion, a recommendation concerning any legal matter, or a substitute for advice from qualified counsel concerning particular facts and circumstances.

  2. No Professional Services Through Website. The Firm does not undertake to provide legal services, monitor legal matters, preserve claims, protect rights, or satisfy deadlines merely because a person accesses the Website, submits an inquiry, subscribes to a communication, or communicates with the Firm through the Website.

  3. Additional Terms. Certain Website features may be subject to additional terms presented in connection with those features. If additional terms conflict with these Terms, the additional terms will control solely with respect to the applicable feature.

  4. Eligibility. By using the Website, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age and possess the legal capacity to agree to these Terms. If you use the Website on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms. The Website is not directed to children under 13 years of age, and the Firm does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13.

Article 2 — Attorney Advertising

  1. Advertising Notice. This Website may constitute attorney advertising under the laws and professional rules of New York and other jurisdictions.

  2. Prior Results. Descriptions of prior matters, results, verdicts, settlements, transactions, representative engagements, or client experiences are provided for informational purposes only. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every legal matter depends on its own facts, applicable law, forum, decision-maker, opposing parties, counsel, and other circumstances.

  3. Testimonials and Endorsements. Any testimonial, endorsement, rating, award, recognition, or quotation appearing on the Website does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction concerning the outcome of any representation. Unless expressly stated otherwise, no person providing a testimonial or endorsement has been compensated by the Firm for doing so.

  4. Professional Descriptions. References to an attorney’s practice area, experience, concentration, recognition, or professional distinction do not constitute a representation that the attorney is a certified specialist unless the Website expressly identifies the certifying organization and the certification is recognized as required by applicable law. Any such identification will be accompanied by the disclosures required by Rule 7.4(c) of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct.

  5. Responsible Attorney and Office. The attorney responsible for the Website is J. Morgan Levy, Esq., Principal. The Firm’s principal office is located at 6 N Main St, Ste 230, Fairport, New York 14450.

Article 3 — No Attorney-Client Relationship

  1. No Relationship Created. Accessing or using the Website, reviewing Website content, submitting a Website form, sending an email, leaving a voicemail, participating in an initial consultation, or otherwise contacting the Firm does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.

  2. Formation of Relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when:

A.   The Firm has completed any review it considers appropriate, including a conflicts review;

B.    The Firm has expressly agreed to undertake the representation; and

C.   The Firm and the client have entered into a written engagement agreement or the Firm has otherwise expressly confirmed the engagement in writing.

3. No Duty to Accept Matter. The Firm may decline any proposed representation in its discretion. Unless and until the Firm confirms an engagement in writing, you should not act or refrain from acting in reliance on an expectation that the Firm will represent you.

4. Existing Clients. If you are an existing client, these Terms supplement but do not replace your engagement agreement with the Firm. If these Terms conflict with an applicable engagement agreement, the engagement agreement controls with respect to the representation.

Article 4 — No Legal Advice or Reliance

  1. General Information Only. Website content may address legal subjects but is not tailored to any person’s facts, objectives, or jurisdiction. You must not construe or rely on Website content as legal, tax, financial, investment, accounting, or other professional advice.

  2. No Guarantee of Accuracy or Currency. Laws, regulations, court decisions, administrative guidance, and professional standards change over time and may be interpreted differently among jurisdictions. Website content may not reflect the most recent developments and may become incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated.

  3. No Action Based Solely on Website. You should obtain advice from appropriately qualified counsel before taking or refraining from action based on Website content. The Firm is not responsible for decisions made or actions taken in reliance on the Website.

  4. No Prediction or Guarantee. The Firm makes no prediction, promise, or guarantee concerning the result of any legal matter. Statements concerning potential strategies, claims, defenses, remedies, or outcomes are inherently dependent on facts and circumstances that may not be known or available.

Article 5 — Communications, Confidentiality, and Privilege

  1. Do Not Send Confidential Information Before Engagement. Unless the Firm has expressly authorized you to do so, do not submit confidential, privileged, proprietary, highly sensitive, or time-sensitive information through the Website or in an unsolicited communication to the Firm.

  2. No Presumption of Confidentiality or Privilege. Information submitted before an attorney-client relationship is established may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege and should not be assumed to be confidential, except to the extent that confidentiality or other protections apply under governing professional obligations or law.

  3. Prospective-Client Information. The Firm will handle information received from a prospective client in accordance with applicable professional obligations. Nothing in these Terms eliminates or limits any duty that cannot lawfully or ethically be eliminated or limited.

  4. Transmission Risks. Electronic communications may be delayed, intercepted, misdirected, corrupted, accessed without authorization, or affected by malicious code or technical failure. The Firm does not guarantee that communications sent through the Website or by ordinary email will be secure, error-free, or received by the intended recipient.

  5. No Deadline Monitoring. Sending information to the Firm does not obligate the Firm to review it, respond to it, preserve a claim, or take action before any statute of limitations, filing deadline, hearing date, response date, or other time limit. You remain responsible for protecting your rights unless the Firm expressly agrees in writing to do so.

  6. Authorized Secure Methods. Existing clients should use communication methods authorized by the Firm for confidential or sensitive information, including MyCase software platform, where applicable.

Article 6 — Conflicts of Interest

  1. Conflict Review Required. The Firm must evaluate potential conflicts of interest before accepting a representation. You may be asked to provide the names of persons and entities involved in a matter so the Firm can conduct that review.

  2. No Engagement Before Clearance. Submission of information does not establish that a conflict has been cleared or that the Firm is able or willing to represent you. You should not send substantive confidential information until the Firm requests it and confirms that doing so is appropriate.

  3. Other Representations. Subject to applicable professional obligations, receipt of an unsolicited communication does not automatically prevent the Firm from representing another person in the same or a related matter. The Firm will determine its professional obligations according to the circumstances and applicable standards.

  4. No Identification of Clients. The Website’s description of representative matters or experience does not necessarily identify every current or former client of the Firm and must not be used as a complete conflicts database.

Article 7 — Jurisdiction, Licensing, and Unauthorized Practice

  1. New York Practice. The Firm is based in New York. The Firm’s attorneys are authorized to practice law only in the jurisdictions identified in their respective Website biographies or other Firm materials.

  2. No Representation Regarding Other Jurisdictions. Website availability in a jurisdiction does not represent that the Firm or any Firm attorney is authorized to practice there, is accepting matters there, or seeks professional employment there.

  3. Jurisdictional Limitations. An attorney identified on the Website may practice outside a jurisdiction of admission only when permitted by applicable law or professional rules, including through association with locally admitted counsel where appropriate.

  4. No Unauthorized Practice. Nothing on the Website is intended to constitute the unauthorized practice of law or to solicit professional employment in a jurisdiction where doing so would be impermissible.

  5. Geographic References. References to matters, clients, offices, courts, agencies, or transactions in a particular jurisdiction do not necessarily mean that every Firm attorney is licensed or authorized to practice in that jurisdiction.

Article 8 — Ownership and Permitted Use of Website Content

  1. Ownership. The Website and its content, including text, articles, alerts, publications, graphics, photographs, videos, recordings, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, software, design, layout, compilation, and other materials (“Content”), are owned by or licensed to the Firm and are protected by applicable intellectual-property and other laws.
