These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of all websites and mobile applications owned or operated by WTFdivorce, LLC (“WTFdivorce” “we” or “us”), including the website located at www.WTFdivorce.com (the “Site”) and any other websites, applications, interactive features, widgets and resources offered by WTFdivorce through Internet websites, mobile devices or other platforms (all of which are collectively referred to as the “WTFdivorce Service” or “Service”). Please read these Terms carefully. By using the WTFdivorce Service, you affirm that you have read and understand, and agree to be bound by, these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the WTFdivorce Service.
Your use of certain portions of the Service may be subject to additional terms and conditions ("Additional Terms"). Where Additional Terms apply, we will make them available for you to read through your use of that portion of the Service. By using that portion of the Service, you agree to the Additional Terms.
WTFdivorce is not a law firm and your use of the Service does not and will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and WTFdivorce. We do not provide legal advice through the Service. The Service may facilitate access or introductions to an attorney or other licensed professionals in various ways, including, for example, by providing you with their contact information. These services will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and WTFdivorce.
WTFdivorce is not a lawyer, law firm, lawyer directory, or a lawyer referral service. WTFdivorce does not endorse or recommend any particular lawyer, or any other professional, that is listed in the index. Lawyers and other professionals are listed in the index for advertising purposes only.
Because your relationship to the law and the legal system is inherently personal, no general information or technological tools like those that we provide will be appropriate for every circumstance. If you need legal advice for your specific situation, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.
Also, because the law often changes and is different in different jurisdictions, WTFdivorce does not guarantee that all of the information on the Site or Service is current, complete, or accurate.
In order to access some features of the WTFdivorce Service, you must register to become a member of the Service. When you register to become a member, WTFdivorce collects certain personal information about you. Because the protection of your personal information is important to us, we will only use information we obtain about you in accordance with WTFdivorce’s Privacy Policy. You agree that you will: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information when prompted (e.g., at registration); and (b) maintain and update such information so that it is true, accurate, current, and complete at all times. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment and services (e.g., mobile phone and wireless service) needed in order to access and use the WTFdivorce Service and for paying all related charges.
As part of the set-up and registration process, you may be asked to select a username and password. WTFdivorce may refuse to grant you a username or revoke your username for any reason in its sole discretion, including in the event that we determine that such username impersonates someone else, is illegal, vulgar or otherwise offensive, or is protected by trademark or other proprietary rights law, or otherwise may cause confusion. You will be responsible for the confidentiality and use of your username and password and agree not to transfer or resell your use of or access to the Service to any third party. YOU ARE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD AND FOR ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES THAT ARE CONDUCTED THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT. WTFdivorce WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY SAFEGUARD YOUR PASSWORD OR FOR ANY ACTIONS OCCURRING UNDER YOUR PASSWORD.

A Professional may use the WTFdivorce Service by registering in the name of a client. A Professional must register a new account for each of its clients and may not use any client account on behalf of any other client. By registering a new account on behalf of a client, Professional represents and warrants that (a) it has all right, authority, and permission from the client to open such account on client’s behalf and to provide WTFdivorce with the information, including personal information, of the client necessary to use the Service and (b) the client has been provided a copy of and agrees to these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent WTFdivorce may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any implied warranty or limit its liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of WTFdivorce’s liability shall be the minimum permitted under such applicable law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless WTFdivorce, its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) that they may incur as a result of or arising from: (a) any information (including, without limitation, your User Submissions, Feedback or any other content) you submit, post or transmit on or through the WTFdivorce Service or otherwise provide to us; (b) your use of the WTFdivorce Service; (c) your violation of these Terms or any Additional Terms; or (d) the violation of any rights of any other person or entity, including, without limitation, any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights of any person or entity, by you (or anyone using any of your accounts) or by your User Submissions.

All payments for the use of the WTFdivorce Service are 100% non-refundable once paid. We understand that things happen, and that sometimes you and your spouse may decide to go another direction, or reconcile once you’ve begun the divorce process. If you so choose, you will be able to discontinue your use of the WTFdivorce Service at any time; however, given the nature and low-cost of the WTFdivorce Service, we cannot provide refunds once you’ve started your divorce using our platform.
These Terms, any Additional Terms, and any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms, the Additional Terms or the provision or use of the Service, shall be governed exclusively by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California, without reference to any conflict of laws principles. Any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or related to these Terms (or the interpretation, performance, or breach of them), the Site or the Services, including but not limited to alleged violations of state or federal statutory or common law rights or duties (a “Dispute”) shall be solely and exclusively resolved according to the procedures set forth in this paragraph. If we are unable to resolve any Dispute through informal means, either party may initiate binding arbitration of such Dispute. The arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to the JAMS/Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect as of the date hereof, including the Optional Appeal Procedure provided for in such rules (the “Arbitration Rules”). The arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles County, California before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by these Terms, including any applicable Additional Terms. No Disputes may be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. Arbitration can decide only the individual Dispute and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO JOIN CLAIMS WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IN THE FORM OF A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEDURAL DEVICE. ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THESE TERMS MUST BE ASSERTED INDIVIDUALLY. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages against any party.
We do not represent or warrant that the WTFdivorce Service, or any part of it, is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. You access the WTFdivorce Service on your own initiative and at your own risk, and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations. We may limit the availability of WTFdivorce Service, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion. In particular, the Service currently is not intended for use by residents of the European Union.
These Terms and any Additional Terms constitute the entire and exclusive and final statement of the agreement between you and WTFdivorce, and govern your use of the WTFdivorce Service. The failure of WTFdivorce to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms or any Additional Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If for any reason any provision of these Terms or any Additional Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible to give effect to the intent of the parties, and the remainder of these Terms and any Additional Terms shall continue in full force and effect. The section titles in these Terms and any Additional Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
WTFdivorce may, in its sole and absolute discretion, change these Terms from time to time. All changes to the Terms or the Privacy Policy will be effective when posted, and we will provide notification of such changes to you via the Service or contact information you may have provided to WTFdivorce upon registration. Your continued use of the Service following any changes to the Terms or the Privacy Policy will constitute your agreement to be bound by such changes. If you object to any such changes, your sole recourse shall be to cease using the WTFdivorce Service.
