Major Verdict, LLC Terms of Service

Effective Date: September 17, 2026

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your use of the website at https://majorverdict.com, the client hub at https://hub.majorverdict.com, and the services offered through them (together, the "Site"), all operated by Major Verdict, LLC ("Major Verdict," "we," "us," or "our"). By using the Site, booking a consultation, accepting a quote, paying a deposit, subscribing to a plan, or holding an account, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. Who We Are (And What We Are Not)

Major Verdict is a web design, development and marketing company that works with law firms. We build websites and custom applications, run online marketing, and provide technical and AI consulting. We also run an AI-assisted settlement calculator for the public, described in Section 8.

Major Verdict is not a law firm. Nothing on the Site is legal advice, and nothing we do for a client is legal advice, including our advice about technology, marketing or advertising. Compliance with the professional conduct and attorney advertising rules of your jurisdiction is your responsibility, and you should confirm anything we build or publish for you against those rules.

2. Consultations and Quotes

A consultation is free and carries no obligation on either side. If we propose work, we do it as a written quote with one fixed price. That price does not change unless you and we agree in writing to change the scope. A quote is an offer, not a contract, until you accept it by paying the deposit it describes or by signing the agreement that accompanies it.

Where a quote and these Terms say different things, the quote or the signed agreement controls for that engagement.

3. Payments, Deposits and Plans

• Deposits and build payments. Website and application work is paid in the installments the quote sets out, starting with a deposit. Payments are made through Stripe using a secure checkout link we send you. We never see or store your card number.
• Deposits are non-refundable once work has started, because they pay for time already spent. If we have not started, we will refund a deposit on request.
• Marketing plans are billed monthly in advance through Stripe as a recurring subscription, with a six-month minimum term from the first payment. After the minimum you may cancel at any time, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period already paid for. We do not refund partial months.
• Late payment. If a build installment is more than fourteen days late we may pause work until it is paid. Nothing is delivered or transferred while an invoice for it is outstanding.
• Third-party costs such as domain registration, software licenses and advertising spend are itemized separately where they apply and are passed through at cost unless the quote says otherwise. Hosting of a website we build under a marketing plan is included in the plan for as long as the plan runs.

4. What You Get and What You Own

When a build is quoted on its own and paid in full, you own the finished website or application: its design, its content, its domain and its data. Until then, what we have built remains ours.

When a website is included with a marketing plan, its design and content become yours once the plan has run for its six-month minimum: every page, every word and every image made for your firm. The system the site runs on, the templates, tooling and client hub behind it, and the hosting remain ours. If you leave after the minimum, we hand over the design and content in a form another developer can host. Your domain is yours throughout.

We keep the right to reuse general techniques, components and code we did not write specifically for you, and to show the finished work in our portfolio and case studies unless you ask us in writing not to.

Third-party software we use in your build, such as the content management system, is licensed to you under that software's own terms, which we will identify on request.

You own every word we write for you. We publish and maintain content on your behalf, and you may direct us to change or remove anything at any time. If a plan includes a fixed number of content pieces per period, a piece you request draws on that number and unused pieces do not carry over unless your agreement says they do.

5. Your Responsibilities as a Client

• Give us accurate information about your firm, your people and your results, and tell us promptly when it changes.
• Review what we publish for you. You are responsible for its accuracy and for its compliance with the attorney advertising and professional conduct rules that apply to you.
• Confirm you have the right to any material you give us, including photographs, logos, testimonials and case details, and that publishing it breaches no confidentiality order, court rule or client confidence.
• Keep your hub login and any access you grant us, such as to your analytics or domain accounts, secure, and tell us at once if you believe either has been compromised.
• Respond to approval requests in reasonable time. Where a plan promises a turnaround, that clock starts when we have what we need from you.

6. The Client Hub

Clients receive access to a read-only dashboard at https://hub.majorverdict.com showing search presence, traffic, enquiries, published work and, where the plan includes it, link-building results. Figures there come from third-party sources such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console and are subject to the limits of those tools. They are reporting, not a guarantee of anything, and browser-side measurement in particular can undercount.

You may also use the hub to request content and to attach files. Files you upload must be yours to share and must not contain material subject to a protective order or attorney-client privilege. We may remove a request or a file that breaks these Terms.

7. Results

We do not guarantee search rankings, traffic, enquiries, signed cases or any other business outcome. Search engines, advertising platforms and the market decide those, and none of them is under our control. Results described on the Site, including case studies, are the results of particular clients under particular conditions and are not a promise of yours.

8. The Settlement Calculator

The calculator uses artificial intelligence, currently provided by Anthropic, PBC, to produce a non-binding orientation range from the limited information you give it. It is not a case valuation, not legal advice and not a prediction of any recovery, and it may be wrong. Do not rely on it to accept, reject or value a settlement offer. You agree not to use automated tools against it, not to submit information about another person's case without their authorization, not to submit privileged or confidential material, and not to use its output for resale or to train other systems. We may limit, pause or withdraw it at any time. Your inputs are handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

9. Content You Submit

Anything you submit to the Site, such as a contact form message or a content request, remains yours. By submitting it you grant Major Verdict a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, reproduce and distribute it for the purpose of operating and promoting the Site and providing our services. You are responsible for its accuracy and legality. We may review, edit, decline or remove submitted content, and suspend accounts, where content is false, misleading, unlawful, defamatory, in breach of an ethical duty or an attempt to game a ranking.

10. Prohibited Conduct

• Submitting false, misleading or deceptive information, or impersonating a person or firm.
• Scraping, copying or programmatically extracting content or data from the Site without our written permission.
• Uploading malicious code or attempting unauthorized access to any part of the Site or the hub.
• Using the Site in any way that breaks the law or the professional rules that apply to you.

11. Intellectual Property

Everything on the Site that was not submitted by a user, including our name, logo, design, text, software and the articles we write, belongs to Major Verdict, LLC or its licensors. You may not copy, republish or create derivative works from it without our prior written consent, beyond the limited quoting our Editorial Standards allow.

12. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to run the Site and deliver our work, including Stripe for payments, Cal.com for scheduling, Google for analytics and spam protection, and Anthropic for the calculator. Their terms govern your use of them, and we are not responsible for their content, availability or practices.

13. Disclaimers

THE SITE, ITS CONTENT AND OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE. Our Disclaimer has more.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Major Verdict, LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost cases, lost data or harm to reputation. Our total liability for any claim arising from the Site or our services is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or $100 if you paid nothing.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Major Verdict, LLC and its members, officers and contractors from claims, damages and expenses arising from your use of the Site, content or material you provide, anything we publish at your direction, or your breach of these Terms or of the law.

16. Ending an Engagement or an Account

Either party may end an engagement in the way the quote or agreement sets out. Work completed and paid for is yours; work in progress is settled at the rates in the quote. We may suspend or end your access to the Site or the hub if you break these Terms or if continued access would harm the Site, other users or us.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. Changes take effect when posted here with a new effective date, and continued use of the Site after that is acceptance. A signed agreement is not changed by an update to this page.

18. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any legal action must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Colorado.
