TERMS FOR SPECIFIC PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

The following terms and conditions are in addition to these general Terms and Conditions that apply to all of ProLegal’s products and services. The following shall be considered as part of the ProLegal “Sites and Services”, as defined above.

All of the below products and services are strictly offered on an “as-is” basis, without any guarantees, warranties, or representations, and You shall do Your own due diligence before requesting or using any of the following goods or services. 

Non‑Recourse Advances; Not a Loan. Pre‑settlement funding is a non‑recourse cash advance, not a loan, and no payments are owed unless and until there is a recovery in your case. The advance is secured solely by your potential recovery and is governed by your signed Funding Agreement, which controls in the event of any conflict with these Terms. State‑specific disclosures and addenda apply and are incorporated by reference.

ProLegal Funding

Eligibility: Available to plaintiffs in personal injury cases who have a confirmed or expected settlement. Further eligibility requires the plaintiff to be represented by an attorney that is going to deposit the settlement into the attorney client trust account prior to disbursement.

Application Process: Plaintiffs apply for funding, which may be denied at ProLegal’s sole and absolute discretion. 

Funding Amount: The amount advanced shall be determined by ProLegal and may be adjusted at any time. Typically, a percentage of the expected settlement, with an agreed-upon repayment plan.

Specific financial terms: These will be addressed in the agreement between ProLegal and the plaintiff.    

ProLegal Rides

Eligibility: Plaintiffs who require transportation to medical appointments or other essential locations related to their case may apply for this service, which shall be approved or denied based on ProLegal’s review of the matter. 

Request Process: Plaintiffs or attorneys request funding through ProLegal’s online portal or customer service, providing details of their transportation needs. The funding amount shall be determined in ProLegal’s sole and absolute discretion. If approved, ProLegal covers 100% of the rideshare cost and recovers fees once the case settles.

Fees: Fees charged by ProLegal are based on the total cost of the ride advance amount in addition to the duration of the advance, as follows (fees may vary by jurisdiction):

• Ride costs
  
  • Cost of all legs of the ride
  • A service charge equal to the cost of all legs of the ride
  • A flat $35 administrative fee
• Rides over (from vendor) $500 will require underwriting review.

Transportation services are provided by third‑party vendors subject to their terms. ProLegal is not a common carrier and is not responsible for acts or omissions of third‑party drivers or platforms.

ProLegal Health

Provider Enrollment: Healthcare providers (e.g., doctors, medical facilities) may join the ProLegal Health Network to receive timely payments for services provided to personal injury plaintiffs. By joining, providers warrant and represent that they are appropriately licensed and credentialed in their respective field.

Payment Structure: Healthcare providers may be paid upfront or on a fixed schedule depending on the specific agreement with ProLegal.

ProLegal Suite

Case Management: ProLegal is not responsible for management of case deadlines or failures to adhere to a deadline. 

Document Automation: The legal documents generated are based on user input and ProLegal disclaims all responsibility for the contents, accuracy, or legality of such documents. Such documents are provided on an as-is basis only, without any warranty of merchantability for any specific purpose or use.

ProLegal Talent

Scope of Service. ProLegal Talent is a recruiting and candidate-introduction service for law firms. Firms open a role, ProLegal sources and screens interested applicants, and presents qualified candidates based on their qualifications and fit for the role. Public job listings on talent.prolegal.com exist to attract applicants; the core service is matching, pre-qualification, and candidate delivery. ProLegal Talent is available only in jurisdictions where ProLegal has satisfied applicable employment agency, placement agency, or similar registration and licensing requirements, and ProLegal may restrict firm signups and job postings by state and may enable or disable availability in a state at any time. ProLegal Talent is an employer-paid personnel placement service operated by ProLegal, LLC, 400 N. Brand Blvd., Suite 850, Glendale, CA 91203. ProLegal Talent provides private personnel placement services for law firms and legal-industry employers. Candidates are never charged a fee by ProLegal Talent.

‍

Relationship to General Terms; Order of Precedence. These ProLegal Talent Terms and Conditions (the “Talent Terms”) are part of the Terms for Specific Products and Services section of the ProLegal Terms and Conditions published at prolegal.com/terms-and-conditions (the “General Terms”) and supplement the General Terms, which continue to apply except as modified by the Talent Terms. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the Talent Terms and the General Terms with respect to ProLegal Talent, the Talent Terms control, including, without limitation, with respect to candidate submissions and Candidate Materials, dispute resolution and arbitration rules, limitations periods, commercial use of the service, survival, and placement, per-hire, and non-circumvention fees. The General Terms continue to govern all matters not addressed in the Talent Terms.

‍

Acceptance of These Terms. A firm accepts the Talent Terms by an affirmative act, including checking a box or clicking a button confirming agreement to the Talent Terms at account signup. In addition, at each role activation the firm affirmatively acknowledges and agrees to the applicable posting fee and its automatic monthly renewal, the applicable per-hire fee, the Non-Circumvention paragraph and its twelve (12) month period, and the firm’s pay transparency obligations for the role, including the certification described in the Pay Transparency and Job Postings paragraph. If ProLegal materially updates the Talent Terms, the updated terms will be presented to the firm for affirmative acceptance and will apply prospectively upon acceptance.

‍

Declining an Update. A firm or candidate that does not accept an updated version of the Talent Terms may decline it by emailing [email protected] to cancel service. Cancellation does not refund fees already billed or waive any fee that has accrued or later becomes due.

‍

Commercial Use. ProLegal Talent is a business-to-business service offered to law firms and legal-industry employers, and firms use it in a commercial capacity. Notwithstanding any provision of the General Terms limiting use of the Sites and Services to personal use or prohibiting commercial use, advertisements, or solicitation, including the license granted in the Use of the Site and Services section and the restrictions in the User Conduct section of the General Terms, firms are expressly authorized to access and use ProLegal Talent for commercial recruiting and hiring purposes in the ordinary course of their business, and any personal-use or non-commercial-use restriction in the General Terms does not apply to a firm’s use of ProLegal Talent. Job postings and related recruiting content submitted by a firm for a role do not violate the General Terms’ restrictions on advertisements, promotional materials, or solicitation.

‍

ProLegal’s Role. ProLegal facilitates introductions and scheduling, but the firm controls all interviewing and hiring. ProLegal has no authority to offer employment or to bind any firm. Candidates are hired solely by the firm. ProLegal is not the candidate’s employer, joint employer, staffing provider, or employer of record. Every candidate hired through ProLegal Talent is a direct employee of the hiring firm. ProLegal does not employ, staff, or contract out candidates, and the firm is solely responsible for all employment decisions, offers, terms of employment, onboarding, compensation, benefits, withholding, and compliance with all applicable employment laws with respect to any candidate it hires.

‍

Definitions. “Introduction” means ProLegal making a candidate’s identity, profile, resume, summary, or contact information available to a firm through the service, including delivery of a candidate in a shortlist or candidate summary, scheduling of an interview, or any other disclosure of a candidate to the firm by ProLegal in connection with a role. An Introduction occurs on the date the candidate is first made available to the firm (the “Introduction Date”). “Hire” means the firm, or any affiliate, parent, subsidiary, or successor of the firm, engaging an introduced candidate to perform services in any capacity, including as an employee (full-time or part-time), independent contractor, consultant, temporary worker, or in any role other than the role for which the candidate was introduced; reclassifying or restructuring an engagement does not avoid a Hire or the associated per-hire fee. “Active Posting” means a job position in an open or active state (not filled, not closed, and not paused or in draft).

‍

Posting Fees. Each Active Posting is subject to a monthly listing fee, currently ranging from $250 to $1,000 per position per month depending on role type, as shown in the pricing schedule presented at role activation. The posting fee is charged per individual position and is billed upfront at activation. The posting fee automatically renews monthly on the same day of the month for as long as the role remains an Active Posting. Closing a role stops future renewals; no mid-month or partial refunds are provided. A firm may pause a role at any time; pausing stops future billing and stops ProLegal’s sourcing and screening work on the role, and there is no limit on the number or duration of pauses.

‍

Per-Hire Fee. A flat per-hire fee, which varies by role type as shown in the pricing schedule, is charged each time a firm hires a candidate through the service. The per-hire fee is triggered at the candidate’s recorded start date. The per-hire fee is earned in full upon the Hire and is non-refundable, except as expressly provided in the Replacement Credit paragraph below. ProLegal makes no placement guarantee. The per-hire fee is the agreed placement fee for ProLegal’s sourcing, screening, and introduction services, and is earned when a firm Hires an introduced candidate, whether the Hire occurs through the service or through an off-platform hire during the twelve (12) month period described in the Non-Circumvention paragraph below.

‍

Late Payment. Any fee not paid when due will accrue interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law if lower, from the due date until paid in full. If ProLegal brings an action or proceeding to collect unpaid fees, ProLegal shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

‍

Replacement Credit. If the employment of a hired candidate terminates within seven (7) days of the candidate’s start date, the billed per-hire fee for that position will be credited back to the firm’s account as an account credit toward a future hire. The firm must record the end of the hire and the reason in the service within a reasonable time after termination. This account credit is the firm’s sole and exclusive remedy in connection with a hire that does not work out; it is not a cash refund, is non-transferable, and has no cash value.

‍

Non-Circumvention. A firm may not hire or engage a candidate introduced by ProLegal without paying the applicable per-hire fee, even if the hire or engagement occurs outside the service. The per-hire fee remains due if the firm Hires an introduced candidate within twelve (12) months of the Introduction Date, regardless of whether the engagement is on-platform or off-platform, whether the candidate is engaged for the original role or a different role, and regardless of how the engagement is titled or classified. If a firm Hires an introduced candidate without recording the hire in the service, the firm agrees to notify ProLegal promptly, and ProLegal may invoice the applicable per-hire fee upon becoming aware of the Hire. This paragraph does not apply to a candidate with whom the firm can demonstrate a documented, pre-existing recruiting relationship established before the Introduction Date. The parties acknowledge that the losses ProLegal would incur from a Hire made off-platform or otherwise in violation of this paragraph are difficult to estimate at the time of contracting, and agree that the applicable per-hire fee is the agreed placement fee earned upon the Hire of an introduced candidate and a reasonable pre-estimate of the value of ProLegal’s services in connection with the Introduction, and is not a penalty or forfeiture.

‍

Communications. During an active search, all messaging relating to a role routes through ProLegal only: candidates communicate with ProLegal, and the firm communicates with ProLegal. Firms agree not to contact introduced candidates directly during an active search. Direct messaging between a firm and a candidate unlocks only after a hire is recorded in the service.

‍

No Warranty Regarding Candidates. ProLegal screens and pre-qualifies candidates but makes no representation or warranty of any kind that any candidate is qualified for any role, that any resume, application, or other candidate-provided information is accurate or complete, that any references or the statements of any references are accurate, that any candidate will accept an offer of employment, or that any candidate will remain employed for any period of time. Firms are solely responsible for their own evaluation, vetting, and verification of candidates.

‍

Firm Responsibilities. Firms will provide accurate role requirements, compensation ranges, timelines, and screening criteria at role intake (including, for any Covered Role, the compensation and benefits information described in the Pay Transparency and Job Postings paragraph below), will keep role status up to date (including marking outcomes such as interviewing, rejected, or hired), and will promptly record each Hire, including the start date, in the service. Firms are solely responsible for their interviewing and selection process. The firm remains solely responsible for compliance with all federal, state, and local employment laws, including but not limited to EEOC, FEHA, ADA, Title VII, FCRA, wage and hour laws, immigration verification, salary transparency (see the Pay Transparency and Job Postings paragraph below), pay equity, ban-the-box laws, background check laws, and all applicable employment regulations. Candidate profiles, resumes, summaries, and related materials are provided to firms solely for evaluating the candidate for the firm’s role; firms will not sell, share, or disclose candidate information to third parties, use it for any other purpose, or retain it beyond what is reasonably necessary, and will handle candidate personal information in compliance with applicable privacy laws.

‍

Pay Transparency and Job Postings. For any role subject to a federal, state, or local pay transparency, salary disclosure, or similar law (a “Covered Role”), the firm will provide at role intake a good-faith, accurate compensation range or rate for the role, together with a description of benefits and any other information required to be disclosed under applicable law, and the firm authorizes ProLegal to publish that information in job listings and other postings for the role, including on talent.prolegal.com. The firm will promptly update this information whenever it changes or the firm learns it is inaccurate, and will keep it accurate and current for as long as the role remains an Active Posting. The firm certifies that all compensation and benefits information it supplies for a Covered Role complies with applicable pay transparency laws. The firm will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ProLegal, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to inaccurate, incomplete, missing, or noncompliant compensation or benefits information supplied by the firm, or the firm’s failure to comply with applicable pay transparency laws.

‍

Candidate Terms. A candidate accepts the Talent Terms at signup by taking an affirmative action, such as checking a box confirming their agreement. If ProLegal makes any material changes to the Talent Terms, the updated terms will be presented to the candidate for acceptance. ProLegal Talent is free for candidates. ProLegal never charges candidates a fee and has no recourse against any candidate for a fee under any circumstances; ProLegal’s fees are paid entirely by hiring firms. ProLegal does not guarantee that any candidate will be contacted, interviewed, shortlisted, or hired. Candidates must provide accurate and current information in their profile, resume, applications, and screening responses, and must be legally eligible to work in the location of any role they apply to.

‍

Candidate Consent. Creating a candidate profile does not by itself authorize ProLegal to share the candidate’s information with firms. Before a candidate’s profile is delivered to a specific firm, ProLegal confirms the candidate’s consent for that specific submission and records that consent. Candidates may grant or revoke permission to be shared with firms at any time in their portal settings; revoking consent does not affect submissions already delivered with the candidate’s prior consent. As part of screening, candidates may be invited to upload a short introduction video or recorded responses; video submissions are shared with firms only under the same per-submission consent rules. Everything a candidate submits, including resumes, photographs, videos, recorded responses, and interview materials, constitutes Candidate Materials governed by the Candidate Materials paragraph below and the Privacy Policy, and is not subject to any general user-content license in the General Terms.

‍

Candidate Materials. Resumes, photographs, videos, recorded responses, interview materials, screening responses, profiles, and other materials a candidate submits to or through ProLegal Talent (“Candidate Materials”) are excluded from, and are not subject to, the Submitting Content section of the General Terms or any other general user-content license, including any royalty free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable, or sublicensable license, any provision that a license cannot be terminated once content is submitted, and any grant of rights to publish a candidate’s name or address or to make a candidate’s name or information available to the public. Candidate Materials are governed exclusively by the Talent Terms, including the Candidate Consent and Candidate Data and Profile Freshness paragraphs, and by the Privacy Policy. Notwithstanding that exclusion, each candidate grants ProLegal a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to host, reformat, summarize, and transmit that candidate’s Candidate Materials solely to operate ProLegal Talent, including delivering candidate summaries to firms with the candidate’s consent. ProLegal uses Candidate Materials only to operate ProLegal Talent, including matching, screening, pre-qualifying, and delivering candidate profiles to firms with the candidate’s consent, and candidates may grant or revoke sharing permission and request deletion of their information as described in the Talent Terms and the Privacy Policy.

‍

Candidate Data and Profile Freshness. ProLegal stores the information candidates provide, along with records generated by the service, and uses it to match candidates with roles, screen and pre-qualify candidates, and deliver candidate profiles to firms with consent, as described in the Privacy Policy and in the Candidate Materials paragraph above. Candidates may request access to their personal information or request its deletion at any time through their portal settings or as described in the Privacy Policy; consent records for delivered submissions and records ProLegal must keep for legal or billing purposes may be retained after deletion of a profile. ProLegal may send periodic profile freshness reminders, and candidates placed with a firm will receive an annual reminder asking whether they are still employed there; a candidate may log in to the candidate portal at any time and mark themselves as available for work.

‍

Arbitration Rules for Firm Disputes. Any dispute between ProLegal and a firm arising out of or relating to ProLegal Talent that is subject to arbitration under the General Terms will be administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and not its Consumer Arbitration Rules, regardless of any provision of the General Terms designating the Consumer Arbitration Rules. ProLegal Talent is a business-to-business service, and firms access and use it in a commercial capacity and not as consumers. Except as modified by this paragraph, the Governing Law/Dispute Resolution section of the General Terms, including the small claims court option, the prohibition on class actions and mass arbitrations, and the thirty (30) day arbitration opt-out, applies to disputes between ProLegal and a firm.

‍

Limitations Period. Any provision of the General Terms requiring that a claim be brought within one (1) year, including the one (1) year period in the Governing Law/Dispute Resolution section of the General Terms, or within any other period shorter than the applicable statutory limitations period, does not apply to claims arising out of or relating to per-hire or placement fees, off-platform hires, the Non-Circumvention paragraph, unpaid fees or other amounts owed to ProLegal, indemnification obligations, or confidentiality obligations, including any sale, sharing, disclosure, or misuse of candidate information. Any such claim may be brought at any time within the applicable statutory limitations period, including where the Hire or other violation is discovered after the fact.

‍

Survival. The Non-Circumvention paragraph and any fee that has accrued or later becomes due survive the closure, suspension, or termination of a firm’s account and of the Talent Terms.

‍

ProLegal Growth

Scope of Services. ProLegal Growth is a branding, website development, and marketing service offered to law firms and other businesses, not to consumers. ProLegal Growth is offered only as a comprehensive, integrated engagement; branding, website development, and marketing are not available as standalone services.

‍

Engagement Terms. Each ProLegal Growth engagement is governed by a separate written services agreement or statement of work between ProLegal and the client, which shall control in the event of any conflict with these Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions govern use of the Sites and Services, including the Growth pages and any forms on them, prior to and outside of a signed engagement.

‍

No Guarantee of Results. Branding, website, and marketing services are provided based on information and feedback from the client. ProLegal does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that the services will result in any particular outcome, including any increase in inquiries, cases, clients, revenue, search rankings, or advertising performance, or any other impact on the client’s business.

‍

No Legal Advice; Professional Responsibility. ProLegal Growth provides branding, design, and marketing services only. ProLegal does not provide legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created between ProLegal and any client of ProLegal Growth or any client of such client. Law firm clients remain solely responsible for their own compliance with applicable rules of professional conduct, including attorney advertising and solicitation rules in their jurisdictions.

‍

Strategy Calls. A “strategy call” or similar consultation is free of charge and does not obligate either party to enter into an engagement.

‍

Deliverables and Intellectual Property. Ownership of final deliverables, ProLegal’s retained rights in its pre-existing tools, templates, frameworks, and methodologies, and ProLegal’s right to display client work in its portfolio and marketing materials will be set forth in the applicable services agreement or statement of work.

‍

Client Materials. Any material provided to ProLegal by You in connection with the services is presumed to be owned by You or properly licensed by You, and You shall indemnify and hold ProLegal harmless from any third-party claims, including copyright or trademark infringement claims, arising from ProLegal’s use of such material as directed by You.

‍

Subcontractors. ProLegal may engage qualified third-party contractors or agencies to perform portions of the services. ProLegal remains responsible for the services under the applicable services agreement.

‍

BREACH OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

You understand that the content in each report or record on ProLegal has significant value to ProLegal and that the damage caused to ProLegal for any violation of these Terms and Conditions pertaining to a report or record will be difficult to accurately estimate. Thus, you shall be liable to pay us the following amounts as liquidated damages, and you agree that the liquidated damages are a reasonable estimate of ProLegal’s damages for the specified breaches of these Terms and Conditions:

If you display, copy, duplicate, reproduce, sell, re-sell or exploit for any purpose any Content in violation of these Terms and Conditions, you agree to pay One Hundred Dollars ($100) for each record or report that you displayed, copied, duplicated, reproduced, sold, re-sold or exploited for any purpose.

If you use computer programming routines that are intended to aggregate records or reports from the Sites and Services or otherwise damage, interfere with, disrupt, impair, disable or otherwise overburden the Sites and Services, you agree to pay One Hundred Dollars ($100) for each report or record that is aggregated, disrupted, damaged or otherwise affected by you.

Except as set forth in the foregoing subparagraphs (a) through (c), inclusive, you agree to pay the actual damages suffered by ProLegal, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and court costs, to the extent such actual damages can be reasonably calculated.

‍

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions, we reserve the right to seek the remedy of specific performance of any term contained herein, or a preliminary or permanent injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in these Terms and Conditions, or any combination thereof.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms and Conditions and other agreements, rules, and policies incorporated by reference to these Terms including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and ProLegal. It supersedes any prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements, whether written or oral, between you and ProLegal regarding the subject matter contained in these Terms and Conditions. Additional terms and conditions may exist between you and third parties. You represent and warrant that those third-party agreements do not interfere with your obligations and duties to ProLegal under these Terms and Conditions.

GOVERNING LAW/DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms and Conditions and the relationship between You and ProLegal will be governed by the laws of the State of California, notwithstanding the choice of law provisions of the venue where any action is brought, where the violation occurred, where You may be located or any other jurisdiction. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out or related to Your use of the Site or Service or these Terms and Conditions shall be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or will forever be barred.

Disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, not in court, except either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. No class actions or mass arbitrations. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms by emailing us per “Contacting Us” below.

MISCELLANEOUS

If you breach any term of these Terms and Conditions or other agreement with ProLegal, ProLegal may pursue any legal or equitable remedy available, including but not limited to, direct, consequential, and punitive damages and injunctive relief. ProLegal’s remedies are cumulative and not exclusive. Failure of ProLegal to exercise any remedy or enforce any portion of the Terms and Conditions at any time shall not operate as a waiver of any remedy or of the right to enforce any portion of the Agreement at any time thereafter. If any provision of the Terms and Conditions is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. These Terms and Conditions are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with ProLegal’s prior written consent. We may transfer, assign or delegate the Terms and their rights and obligations without consent. Users of this Sites and Services are responsible for compliance with all applicable regulations and laws. No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and ProLegal as a result of these Terms and Conditions or use of the Sites and Services. You acknowledge and agree that each of the Released Parties (ProLegal’s affiliates, officers, employees, agents, service providers) shall be an intended third-party beneficiary of these Terms and Conditions.

Force Majeure:
Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform due to events beyond its reasonable control (including Internet or hosting failures, labor actions, acts of God, war, terrorism, epidemics, acts of government, or third‑party service failures).
