Your eligibility for any particular product or service is subject to final determination by DCFShield. The Web Sites and DCFShield Apps may offer general information about the law and legal plans. The Web Sites and DCFShield Apps cannot and do not contain legal advice. DCFShield is not a law firm. The legal information is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Use of the Web Sites or DCFShield Apps does not create an attorney-client relationship. The Web Sites and DCFShield Apps should not be used as a substitute for the advice of an attorney.

Communications

You agree that by providing your contact information to DCFShield, you consent to receiving communication from DCFShield, its affiliates, and its agents in connection with your membership. This may include communication about your account, features, and Services via email, push notification, phone, or text message (including by an automatic telephone dialing system and/or with an artificial or pre-recorded voice) at any of the phone numbers provided by you or on your behalf. Text messaging and data charges may be applied by your cell phone carrier.

You are not obligated to consent to receiving automated marketing phone calls or text messages about other DCFShield products as a condition of membership. If you believe that you are receiving automated marketing communications by text message or phone in error, then you may opt out by following any opt-out instructions provided with the communication or by contacting customer service. Likewise, if you wish to stop receiving marketing emails, you may opt out by clicking “unsubscribe” on the email. If you do not opt out, DCFShield may continue to contact you about new features and cost-saving opportunities as outlined in these Terms of Use and/or in the DCFShield Privacy Policy. If you change your contact information, please let DCFShield know so you can continue to receive communications.

Mobile Text Message Services Terms

The following terms in this section applies to any person who (1) signs up to receive one or more SMS/MMS messages and/or messages from us, or (2) sends us messages via SMS or MMS.

When you sign up for our text alert program, you are expressly consenting to receive recurring text messages on behalf of DCFShield. Text message communications from DCFShield may include, but are not limited to: (i) information about your membership or a subscription; (ii) information about our Services; (iii) communications concerning promotions; and (iv) news concerning legal and industry developments (the “Text Services”). Text message frequency may vary based on the message content. You agree that such texts may be generated by automatic telephone dialing systems.

You may opt out of the Text Services at any time by texting the word STOP in response to the message you received. If you do that, you will receive one additional message confirming that you will no longer receive messages from us regarding your service. You may also opt out of the Text Services through your account notification settings. If you need help with our Text Services, you may text the word HELP in response to the message you received, email us at support@dcfshield.com.

Message and data rates may apply. We do not charge a fee for the Text Services; however, depending on your messaging plan, your mobile carrier may charge you for each message we send you or that you send us. It is your responsibility to know whether your carrier will charge you per-message costs (for instance, if you do not have an unlimited texting plan, or have exceeded your monthly quota of free messages). We assume no responsibility for charges incurred by your using the Text Services.

The Text Services may not be available in all areas at all times. SMS/MMS messages are distributed via a complex system of service providers and we cannot guarantee their availability or performance. This means we may not be able to successfully transmit SMS/MMS messages to you, and we have no liability for any such transmission delay or message failure. The Text Services may not work in the event of product, software, coverage, or other changes made by your wireless carrier or changes you make to your mobile device. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

You must provide your own wireless device, subscribe to a wireless service on a participating mobile carrier, and be able to receive text messages using that wireless device and your carrier’s service.

If you have any questions regarding privacy, please visit our Privacy Policy.

License to DCFShield

DCFShield may, in the sole discretion of DCFShield, permit you from time to time to submit, upload, publish or otherwise make available to DCFShield through our Services textual, audio, and/or visual content and information, including commentary and feedback related to our Services, initiation of support requests, and submission of entries for competitions and promotions (“User Content”). Any User Content provided by you remains your property. However, by providing User Content to DCFShield, you grant DCFShield a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with our Services and business and on third-party sites and services), without further notice to or consent from you, and without the requirement of payment to you or any other person or entity.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all User Content or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases necessary to grant DCFShield the license to the User Content as set forth above; and (ii) neither the User Content, nor your submission, uploading, publishing or otherwise making available of such User Content, nor the use by DCFShield of the User Content as permitted herein will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.

You agree to not provide User Content that is defamatory, libelous, hateful, violent, obscene, pornographic, unlawful, or otherwise offensive, as determined by DCFShield in its sole discretion, whether or not such material may be protected by law. DCFShield may, but shall not be obligated to, review, monitor, or remove User Content, in the sole discretion of DCFShield and at any time and for any reason, without notice to you.

Passwords and Security

Certain aspects of the Web Sites and DCFShield Apps may require registration. You agree that if you create or if you are issued a username and password in connection with access to or use of any of the Web Sites or DCFShield Apps, you are responsible for keeping such information secret and strictly confidential. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your username and/or password, including, without limitation, all communications, submissions or financial obligations. You are responsible for changing your password if you believe that your password or username has been lost, stolen or might otherwise be misused. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your username or password or if any other breach of security is suspected by you.

Subscriptions, Membership and Services

You may subscribe to certain free trial, premium, paid services or memberships available on the Web Sites or DCFShield Apps (collectively “Subscriptions”) and such actions by you are voluntary. A Subscription will enable you to access certain features and Services when available. Your use of Subscriptions is subject to these Terms of Use.

Notice of Auto Renewal; Effect of Cancellation

To provide continuous service to paid users who purchase a Subscription, unless otherwise stated, we will automatically renew your Subscription. The renewal term is usually the same duration as the Subscription term purchased (for example, a monthly plan will renew each month).

By making a Subscription purchase on our Services, you acknowledge that your account will be subject to the above-described automatic renewals. If you do not wish your Subscription to renew automatically, you may cancel at any time through our online cancellation form at /cancel-membership, or by contacting us at support@dcfshield.com. To avoid the next scheduled charge, you must cancel at least three (3) days before your renewal date; if you cancel within three (3) days of your renewal, the upcoming renewal will still be processed and your cancellation will take effect at the end of that final period, with no further charges after that. When you cancel, you will receive an on-screen acknowledgment and an email confirmation of your cancellation, and you retain access to the Services through the end of the period you have already paid for.

Please note that your Subscription may be interrupted as a result of a canceled or expired payment card or other payment method. It is your responsibility to keep your payment card or payment method details up to date to continue accessing our Services.

Prepaid Programs and Refunds

Membership programs may be sold as prepaid packages of three (3) or six (6) months (each a “Prepaid Program”). Your prepaid fee covers the services described for the full program term. If your membership ends before the program term is completed — whether because you cancel, or because we withdraw from or discontinue the representation — you will receive a refund of the unearned portion of your fee, based on the work not yet completed as of the termination date. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within fourteen (14) business days of termination. If your Prepaid Program was financed through a third-party payment provider (such as Klarna), any refund will be applied against your remaining balance with that provider in accordance with its terms.

Payments

All payments related to your Subscription or other purchases must be made from a payment method on which you are the named account holder (the “Payment Method”). Unless otherwise stated, all fees due for the Subscription are payable in advance and will be billed automatically to the Payment Method. You agree that we will not be liable for any loss caused by any unauthorized use of your payment card or any other method of payment by a third party in connection with our Services. Any attempt to defraud DCFShield through the use of payment cards or other payment methods will result in immediate termination of your account and civil and/or criminal prosecution. In the case of suspected or fraudulent payment, including use of stolen credentials, by anyone, or any other fraudulent activity, DCFShield reserves the right to block your account. DCFShield is entitled to inform relevant authorities or entities (including credit reference agencies) of any payment fraud or other unlawful activity, and may employ collection services to recover payments.

Payments and Financial Transaction Processing

DCFShield may use third party electronic payment processors and/or financial institutions (“Payment Processors”) to process financial transactions. You irrevocably authorize us, as necessary, to instruct such Payment Processors to handle such transactions and you irrevocably agree that we may give such instructions on your behalf in accordance with your requests as submitted on our Services. You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of each applicable Payment Processor. In the event of conflict between these Terms of Use and the Payment Processor terms and conditions, these Terms of Use shall govern.

Fee Changes

We reserve the right to increase Subscription fees or to institute new fees at any time with reasonable advance notice. If you do not wish to pay the new prices, you can cancel your Subscription prior to the change becoming effective.
