Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a contract between you and Counsel Contacts LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Counsel Contacts,” “we,” “us”). They govern your access to and use of the Counsel Contacts website and the attorney contacts database and related services available at counselcontacts.com (together, the “Service”).

By creating an account, starting a free trial, or using the Service in any way, you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to both you personally and that organization.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. The Service is intended for business use by professionals engaged in legal recruiting, business development, or related professional activities. It is not intended for personal, household, or consumer use.

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for any activity that occurs under your account. Notify us at support@counselcontacts.com if you suspect unauthorized access. You may not share your account with any other person or permit any other person to access the Service under your credentials.

Access to the Service is provided on a paid subscription basis. Current pricing is shown at counselcontacts.com and on the checkout page at the time you sign up. All fees are in US dollars.

Free trial. We may offer a 7-day free trial at sign-up. You will be asked for payment information before the trial begins. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription and your payment method will be charged the plan fee you selected at sign-up (currently $199 per month for the monthly plan or $1,910 per year for the annual plan).

Auto-renewal notice (required under N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 520 and similar laws). Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period at the then-current price for your plan — monthly subscriptions renew each month, annual subscriptions renew each year. It will continue to renew until you cancel. To cancel, open Settings → Billing in your account and click “Manage billing” to open the self-service billing portal, or email support@counselcontacts.com before your next renewal date. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your then-current billing period.

Refunds. All fees are non-refundable. We do not provide refunds or credits for partially used billing periods, unused time on your subscription, or periods after you cancel. The free trial exists so you can evaluate the Service before you are charged.

Price changes. We may change the price of the Service going forward. Any price change will take effect no earlier than 30 days after we give notice, and will not apply to the current billing period. Continued use of the Service after a price change takes effect is your acceptance of the new price.

Taxes. You are responsible for any sales, use, value-added, withholding, or similar taxes associated with your use of the Service, other than taxes on our net income.

You may use the Service and the data available through it only for lawful business purposes in connection with legal recruiting, business development, and related professional activities. You agree not to:

• Use the Service or any data obtained through the Service to send unsolicited commercial email, SMS, or other communications in a manner that violates the CAN-SPAM Act, TCPA, CASL, or any other applicable anti-spam or telecommunications law.
• Use any data obtained through the Service in connection with decisions about employment, credit, insurance, housing, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar laws.
• Resell, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise make available the data in the Service to any third party, or combine it with other data to create a competing database or data product.
• Use the data to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any machine learning model, AI system, or large language model, whether for your own use or for resale.
• Scrape, crawl, or otherwise extract data from the Service except through features we provide (for example, CSV export), or circumvent any rate limit, access control, or security measure.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code or underlying technology of the Service.
• Upload or transmit any virus, malware, or other harmful code, or use the Service to interfere with any other person’s use of it.

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if we reasonably believe you have violated this section. Repeat violations will not be tolerated.

Export pause. We may temporarily suspend export functionality for an account whose usage patterns are inconsistent with normal use of the Service, pending review. Search and other features remain available during a pause. If you believe a pause was triggered in error, contact support@counselcontacts.com to request reinstatement.

The Service, the database of attorney contact information, the software that powers the Service, and all related content (other than your Customer Data, described below) are owned by Counsel Contacts and are protected by copyright, database rights, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Service during the term of your subscription.

Individual facts about attorneys (such as a person’s name, firm, or title) are not owned by anyone, but the compilation, curation, and presentation of those facts in the Service is our proprietary work product.

Customer Data. Any content you upload to or generate in the Service (for example, saved searches or notes) (“Customer Data”) remains yours. You grant us a non-exclusive license to host, process, and display Customer Data solely to provide the Service to you.

Search outputs. You may retain and use search results and CSV exports generated by your use of the Service after your subscription ends, subject to these Terms and applicable law.

Feedback. If you send us feedback or suggestions about the Service, we may use that feedback without any obligation to you.

The Service aggregates information from public sources and third-party data partners. We take reasonable steps to keep the data current, but we do not represent or warrant that any data in the Service is complete, accurate, current, or free from error. Data may be out of date, may contain duplicates, and may omit people who have moved firms, left the profession, or asked to be removed. Your use of the data is at your own risk. Always verify information independently before relying on it for a specific decision.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will Counsel Contacts be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of those damages.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to us for the Service in the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100).

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Counsel Contacts, its members, officers, employees, and agents from any third-party claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your Customer Data, or your breach of these Terms or of applicable law.

You may stop using the Service at any time by cancelling your subscription. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for any material breach of these Terms, for non-payment, or if we reasonably believe your use of the Service creates legal risk for us or any third party. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts-of-laws rules.

Informal resolution first. Before starting any formal dispute, you agree to email support@counselcontacts.com with a description of your claim and to give us 30 days to attempt to resolve it with you in good faith.

Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The seat of arbitration is New York County, New York. The arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver. You and Counsel Contacts agree that any dispute will be brought only in your or our individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entire “Binding arbitration” paragraph above is null, and any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, to whose exclusive jurisdiction we both consent.

Carveouts. Either party may bring a claim for injunctive relief to protect intellectual property or confidential information in any court of competent jurisdiction, and may bring an individual action in small-claims court for claims within its jurisdictional limit.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, for logged-in users, post a notice in the Service or send an email to the address on your account at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after that date is your acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Counsel Contacts about the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
