Merlin Law Group PLLC Terms of Service
Effective Date: March 1, 2026
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using this website. These Terms of Service (the “Terms“) govern your access to and use of the Merlin Law Group PLLC website and any related digital properties, tools, forms, features, or online content that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Site“).
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
1. About Merlin Law Group
The Site is owned and operated by Merlin Law Group PLLC (“Merlin Law Group,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
The Site is intended to provide general information about our firm, our attorneys, our practice areas, educational resources, events, articles, and methods for contacting us.
2. No Legal Advice
The content on this Site is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as legal advice.
Laws vary by jurisdiction and change over time. Viewing this Site, reading blog posts or articles, interacting with website features, or receiving information through the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not substitute for obtaining legal advice from a qualified attorney regarding your specific circumstances.
3. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Your use of this Site, including submission of forms, emails, chats, or other communications through the Site, does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship between you and Merlin Law Group.
An attorney-client relationship is formed only through a separate written agreement signed by the firm and the client.
Please do not send highly confidential or time-sensitive information through the Site unless specifically instructed to do so through secure channels. While we take reasonable steps to protect information submitted to us, unsolicited information submitted before an attorney-client relationship is established may not receive the same protections as information shared within an established representation.
4. Website Use and Eligibility
You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms.
You may not use the Site:
- in any way that violates applicable law or regulation;
- to transmit unlawful, infringing, defamatory, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful material;

You may view, download, or print Site materials only for personal, informational, and non-commercial use, provided that you do not modify the materials, remove proprietary notices, or use the materials in a misleading or unlawful manner.
No license or ownership rights are granted to you except as expressly stated in these Terms.
6. Attorney Advertising Notice
This Site may constitute attorney advertising in some jurisdictions.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Any case results, testimonials, endorsements, or examples on the Site are for informational purposes only and do not create any guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of any future matter.
7. Third-Party Links and Services
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, services, tools, platforms, or content not owned or controlled by Merlin Law Group.
We provide such links for convenience only. We do not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for third-party sites, content, policies, or practices. Your use of third-party websites or services is at your own risk and subject to the terms and policies of those third parties.
8. Privacy and Communications
Your use of the Site is also subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable SMS terms, notices, or disclosures.
If you submit information through the Site, schedule an appointment, request contact from the firm, or opt in to receive communications, you acknowledge that we may communicate with you by phone, email, or SMS in accordance with applicable law and our posted policies.
9. AI, Chatbots, and Automated Features
The Site may include chatbot tools, AI-assisted intake features, automation workflows, or similar technologies designed to support intake, routing, scheduling, or information delivery.
These tools are provided for convenience and administrative support. They are not a substitute for legal advice from an attorney and do not create an attorney-client relationship.
Merlin Law Group makes no representation that chatbot or AI-generated content is complete, current, or appropriate for your particular situation.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and all content, materials, and features are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Merlin Law Group disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, and availability.
We do not guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, free from harmful components, or that defects will be corrected.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Merlin Law Group and its attorneys, employees, agents, affiliates, contractors, and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site.
This includes, without limitation, damages relating to loss of data, loss of profits, business interruption, reputational harm, delay, transmission errors, unauthorized access, cyber incidents, or reliance on Site content.
If liability is imposed notwithstanding the foregoing, the total liability of Merlin Law Group for any claim arising out of or relating to the Site or these Terms shall not exceed the greater of one hundred U.S. dollars ($100) or the amount, if any, you paid directly to use the Site.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability where such limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Merlin Law Group and its attorneys, employees, agents, affiliates, contractors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, settlements, penalties, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to:
- your violation of these Terms;
- your misuse of the Site;
- your violation of applicable law;
- your infringement of any third-party right; or
- any content or information you submit through the Site.
13. Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to the Site or these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of laws principles, except to the extent superseded by applicable federal law.
14. Venue and Jurisdiction
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site that is not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.
15. Arbitration Provision (Optional – Confirm with General Counsel Before Publication)
Optional clause for internal review:
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for misuse of intellectual property, confidentiality breaches, or unauthorized access to systems.
If this clause is used, it should be reviewed separately by General Counsel before publication to determine whether the firm wants mandatory arbitration, small claims carve-outs, class action waiver language, AAA rules language, and any required state-specific consumer notices.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. If we do, we will update the Effective Date above. Your continued use of the Site after revised Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
17. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
18. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other notices or policies expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Merlin Law Group regarding your use of the Site.
