The Company, similar to any web service provider, is a distributor (and not a publisher) of content
supplied by third parties and Users. Accordingly, the Company has no more editorial control over
such content than does a public library, bookstore or newsstand. Any opinions, advice, statements,
services, offers, or other information or content expressed or made available by third parties,
including information providers, or any other Users are those of the respective author(s) or
distributor(s) and not of the Company. Neither the Company nor any third-party provider of

merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose.
We provide a lawyer directory as a free public service, not a list of endorsements. You are solely
responsible for assessing the quality, integrity, suitability and trustworthiness of all persons with
whom you communicate regarding your legal needs.
In many instances, the content available through the Site represents the opinions and judgments of
the respective information provider, User, or other Users not under contract with the Company. The
Company neither endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, or
statement made on the Site by anyone other than authorized by the Company employee
spokespersons while acting in official capacities. Under no circumstances will the Company be liable
for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on information obtained through the Site. It is your

its sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of the communication. The Company

Company reserves the right to (a) expel users and prevent their further access to the Site for
violating these Terms or the law, (b) remove communications which are abusive, illegal, or

In order to use certain Site services such as the Legal Services, you must provide account information for at least one valid payment method. You hereby authorize to run credit card authorizations on all credit cards you provide, to store credit card and banking or other financial details as your method of payment, and to charge your credit card (or any other payment method) for the legal fees and any other amounts owed under the Terms. You are responsible for all fees, including taxes, service and processing fees associated with your use of the Site. To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to our Privacy Policy, you acknowledge and agree that we may use certain third-party vendors and service providers to process payments and manage your payment method information.
By providing and authorizing payments with your payment method information through the Site, you represent, warrant, and covenants that: (a) you are legally authorized to provide such information; (b) you are legally authorized to make payments using the payment method(s) provided; (c) if you are an employee or agent of a company or person that owns the payment method, that you are authorized by the company or person to use the payment method to make payments on Lexyom; and (d) such actions do not violate the terms and conditions applicable to your use of such payment method(s) or applicable law. When you authorize a payment via the Site, you represent and warrant that there are sufficient funds or credit available to complete the payment using the designated payment method. To the extent that any amounts owed under these Terms cannot be collected from your payment method(s), you are solely responsible for paying such amounts by other means.
Lexyom makes available trial offers for the limited use of the Site (each, a Trial Offer) to
new customers who provide a valid payment instrument, such as a credit card or other
payment method. If you choose to start a Trial Offer, you will automatically join the paid
membership you have chosen at the end of the Trial Offer and you authorize the Company
to charge your payment method a recurring monthly membership fee or annual
membership fee, as applicable.
exyom may automatically charge you at the end of the trial or for a membership renewal unless you notify us that you want to cancel or downgrade your membership. To ensure uninterrupted service and to enable you to conveniently purchase additional products and services, Lexyom will store and update your payment method on file. If we are unable to charge your designated payment method for any reason, we reserve the right to automatically downgrade your paid plan to a lower-priced plan or to suspend your paid membership until your designated payment method can be charged again. Any such suspension or termination will result in the cancellation of any promotional programs applicable to your membership.
We want you to be 100% satisfied with your use of the Site. If you are less than satisfied or believe there has been an error in billing, please contact us by email at [email protected] immediately so that we can help you resolve the issue. We do not offer refunds for the services purchased through the Site. If you are a lawyer, refer to our Refund Policy for further details.
Lexyom may, in its sole discretion, create promotional codes that may be redeemed for account credit or other features or benefits related to a service, subject to the following terms and any additional terms that Lexyom established on a per promotional code basis (Promo Codes):
THIS SECTION CONTAINS SPECIAL TERMS THAT ONLY APPLY TO LAWYERS REGISTERED ON LEXYOM. REFER TO THE LEGAL SERVICES TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR FURTHER DETAILS. When clients choose you for a legal service, you must be the one who calls them back. Clients are real clients, and they paid for your help and assistance, not the one of your receptionist, secretary, paralegal, another lawyer in your office, or anyone else.
Lexyom sets the pricing for legal services, and the prices clients pay are subject to change.
You agree to receive service-related text messages to the mobile phone number you provide during the enrollment process (or any number you provide in an update to your online account settings).
Payment is monthly: By the 10th of each month, you will get paid the entire amount paid by the client for your services fulfilled in the prior month, net of refunds. You will ONLY get paid if the call goes through our system. Clients are only charged, and you only paid, if you call through the call service provided by Lexyom. If the client calls you directly after purchasing a legal service, you need to tell them you'll call them right back and call them through our platform on Lexyom. If you don't do this, you won't get paid, and you risk removal from the platform. It is critical that you meet or exceed all turnaround and response time expectations, without which you risk being removed from the platform.
You can choose, for many valid reasons (a conflict of interest, lack of experience in a particular legal issue, too busy, etc.) to turn a service down and not fulfill it even after a client has chosen you and paid for the service. The client will be refunded or connected to another lawyer. To turn down a service, email [email protected] with the client name, service name, and your request to decline the service. But, this should be used sparingly. You shouldn't be offering services you don't feel you can competently fulfill. If you think that you will not be able to do so for a reason or another, you should put your services on "pause" by turning your availability off. It is important for us that the client feel comfortable reaching for legal assistance through Lexyom, and trust that the lawyer they choose will be ready to actually provide the service they need. Therefore, you shouldn't turn down services too often to avoid risking being removed from the Site.
We can remove or suspend you from the Site at any time at our discretion. Here is a non-exclusive list of why we might remove or suspend you:
Lexyom does not claim ownership of any documents you either create or upload and store using our
Site ("Documents"). You grant permission for Lexyom to use your Documents in connection with
providing services to you.
You acknowledge and agree that Lexyom may preserve these Documents as well as disclose them if
required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably
necessary to accomplish any of the following: (1) to comply with legal process, applicable laws or
government requests; (2) to enforce these Terms; (3) to respond to claims that any content violates
the rights of third parties; or (4) to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Lexyom, its users
and the public. You agree that Lexyom has no responsibility or liability for deleting or failing to store
any content maintained or uploaded by the Site.
By creating an account, you agree that you may receive communications from Lexyom, such as newsletters, special offers, and account reminders and updates. You also understand that you can remove yourself from these communications by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in the footer of the actual email.

Further, the Company is not responsible for any viruses’ accesses through said third- party. If you decide to access linked third party websites, you do so at your own risk.

is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. Therefore, if you need legal advice for your specific problem, or if your specific problem is too complex to be addressed by
our tools, you should consult a licensed lawyer within your jurisdiction.

MATERIAL OR FOR ANY INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THROUGH THE SITE,

INAPPLICABLE OR UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, THEN THE COMPANY'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY
FOR ANY TYPE OF DAMAGES SHALL BE LIMITED TO USD 100 PER OCCURRENCE.

of viruses or other malicious code and accept no liability for loss or damage caused from the
transmission of such code. We recommend that you always use up-to-date firewalls and anti-malware software to protect your equipment and data.
Lexyom is a platform where lawyers can offer information and interact with users. We provide a
number of methods by which you can purchase legal services or have a direct, confidential
discussion of your legal issues with a lawyer. Lexyom is not a law firm, and we do not provide any
legal services or legal advice. We are only acting as intermediaries between you and the lawyers on
the Site.
Lexyom does not guarantee results. From time to time, Users may submit reviews of lawyers on the Site; these reviews do not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of any future legal matter. Lexyom will have no responsibility or liability of any kind for any user-generated content or legal advice you encounter on or though the Site. Any communication via Lexyom may not be held confidential. Lexyom is not liable for the actions or omissions of any lawyer performing consulting services for you.
Content posted by lawyers in response to legal questions is not intended to be legal advice or form an attorney-client relationship between you and the Company or you and any lawyer on the Site. The legal information found on Lexyom is intended for general informational purposes only, should not be construed as legal advice on any subject matter and should be used only as a starting point for addressing your legal issues. It is not a substitute for an in-person or telephonic consultation with a lawyer licensed to practice in your jurisdiction about your specific legal issue, and you should not rely on such legal information. No recipient of content from this Site should act or refrain from acting on the basis of any content included in the Site without seeking the appropriate legal or other professional advice on the particular facts and circumstances at issue from an attorney licensed in the recipient’s state. Content is not a substitute for professional legal advice or a solicitation to offer legal advice regarding specific facts. Should you ignore this warning and send specific or confidential information in a private message or post it as a comment, there is no duty to keep that information confidential or to discontinue or forego any representation adverse to your interests.
We check that lawyers are qualified in the general legal field relevant to your query. Although we
may generally suggest one or more lawyers based on your submitted request, we cannot make any
kind of guarantee as to the legal ability, competence, or quality of the lawyers who may be listed on
the Site. We do not warrant the accuracy, quality or completeness of any information or assistance
obtained from lawyers. We do not direct, have any control over, or make any assurance or
representation about any lawyer.
The lawyers you find through the Site are independent contractors who agreed to provide online
answers, limited consultations and other basic legal services to Users. The lawyers are not Lexyom
employees, so they are free to set their own terms and fees. Any interaction between you and any
Lexyom lawyer on the Site is intended to be a starting point for dealing with a legal matter or
addressing basic legal questions and any attorney-client relationship formed during the course of
that interaction is strictly between you and the specific lawyer and expressly EXCLUDES Lexyom. We
will not be a party to any contract made between you and any lawyer and therefore we shall not be
liable for any loss or damage that result from any dealings between you and any lawyer. It is your
responsibility to select a suitable lawyer and to negotiate the terms of any request to be performed
by the lawyer. While our hope is that you will be happy with every lawyer you find through Lexyom,
you should not engage any lawyer if you have any doubts or concerns about them. Lawyers are free to create and maintain a profile on Lexyom’s website. While Lexyom makes commercially reasonable efforts to confirm a lawyers’ license to practice law, Lexyom makes no representations about a lawyers’ background or qualifications.
LEXYOM SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR ANY PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES RENDERED BY ANY LAWYER YOU ENCOUNTER ON OR THROUGH OUR SITE, AND ANY USE
OR RELIANCE ON SUCH PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
In the unlikely event that you have a dispute with a lawyer, you must address such dispute directly
to the lawyer concerned. However, you agree to notify the details of the dispute to us as soon as
reasonably practicable. We can access any messages you send to a lawyer through the Site for
fulfillment and quality assurance purposes. We cannot be involved in your dealings with lawyers. In
the event that you have a dispute with one or more lawyers, by using Lexyom you release us from
any and all claims, demands and damages of every kind arising out of or in any way connected with
such disputes.
Lexyom lawyers may be compensated by Lexyom for services performed on your behalf, however,
Lexyom does not receive any share of legal fees collected by any lawyers in our network. Lexyom will
not influence or interfere in any way with a lawyer’s independent professional judgment the lawyer
reserves the right to refuse to perform legal services on your behalf in his or her sole discretion.
It is solely the responsibility of lawyers on the Site to ensure that any information they post(including any legal information), and any communications they may have with prospective clients through the Site fully complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct, including those concerning the unauthorized practice of law and those regulating the form, manner or content of communications with clients, advertising, or other matters.

The Company shall have the right to terminate your ability to access the Site at any time without notice and to discontinue or modify any of the information contained on the Site, or the Site itself, at any time. Given the nature of these Terms, you understand and agree that, in addition to money damages, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief upon a breach of them by you.
Lexyom's failure to enforce a provision of the terms shall not be considered a waiver of its right to do so later. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the terms remain in full effect. The provisions of these Terms that are intended to survive the termination of these Terms by their nature will survive the termination of these Terms. You may not assign any of your rights under these terms, and any attempt to do so will be void. Lexyom may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the services that Lexyom provides.
1.1. Validity of Terms and Conditions. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in
electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating
to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business
documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You agree that the
fact that these Terms are in electronic form does not affect in any way their validity or
enforceability. You also agree that the clicking of the button “Accept” on the Site constitutes your
valid and legal signature.
1.2. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure in performance to the extent
the delay or failure is caused by events beyond the party’s reasonable control, including, a
significant failure of the Internet, fire, flood, acts of God, explosion, war or the engagement of
hostilities, strike, embargo, labor dispute, government requirement, civil disturbances, or civil or
military authority.
1.3. No Agency. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship
exists between you and Lexyom as a result of these Terms or use of the Site.
1.4. Headings. The heading references herein are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a
part of these Terms, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
1.5. Dispute Resolution. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
We hope we never have a dispute, but if we do, you and we agree to try for 60 days to resolve it
amicably. You may send us the details of your concern to [email protected]. However, if Lexyom is not
able to informally resolve your complaint, you and Lexyom agree to individual binding arbitration
before the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
and you and Lexyom agree that your dispute shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of
the International Chamber of Commerce by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with
the said rules.
You and Lexyom are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in a class or
multi-party action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and the
termination of your Lexyom account.
YOU AND LEXYOM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR
ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS MEMBER OR IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY
OR PROCEEDING. Further, no arbitrator shall consolidate any other person’s claims with your
claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a multi-party or class proceeding. If this
specific provision is found to be unenforceable in any way, then the entirety of this arbitration
section shall be null and void. The arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief.
Any arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with the ICC within ONE (1)
YEAR from when it first could be filed. Otherwise, it is permanently barred. If applicable law
prohibits a one-year limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the
shortest time period permitted by applicable law.
In the event that arbitration is found to be inapplicable or unenforceable for any reason, the claim
at issue will be brought under judicial proceedings in the courts of Beirut, Lebanon and you and
Lexyom consent to personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue in such courts.
1.6. Termination. These Terms, as amended, will be effective commencing with your first use, pre-
registration or registration of the Site and will remain in full force and effect throughout your use of
the Site. Notwithstanding any of these Terms, Lexyom reserves the right, without notice and in its
sole discretion, to terminate your license to use the Site, and to block or prevent your access to and
use of the Site. Lexyom reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. In
the event of termination of access to the Site for any reason, you have no right to obtain a copy of

terminate your use of the Site at any time. You can simply choose to stop visiting or using any
aspect of the Site. If you wish to terminate your account on the Site, you may do so by sending an
email to [email protected] or using any other account termination functionality that may be offered

1.7. Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Lexyom with
respect to the subject matter of these Terms, and supersede and replace any prior version of the
Terms. These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights.
