These Terms require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limit the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute.
Legal Bueno cannot guarantee that all of the information on the Site or Applications is completely current. The law is different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and may be subject to interpretation by different courts. The law is a personal matter, and no general information or filing tool like the kind Legal Bueno provides can fit every circumstance. Furthermore, the legal or financial information contained on the Site and Applications is not legal or financial advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date.
Should you believe, before making your purchase, that Legal Bueno provided you with legal or financial advice, opinions, or recommendations regarding your legal or financial rights, remedies, defenses, options, choice of forms, or strategies, you should refrain from completing this purchase. Any purchase made under such belief will be considered invalid and void.
You are entirely accountable for any legal choices you make, even if you utilize the Services to aid in your decision-making process. You relinquish any claims against Legal Bueno for any potential loss or damage arising from your legal or financial decisions, and you acknowledge that Legal Bueno will not be held responsible for such losses or damages.
This Site and Applications are not intended to create any attorney-client relationship, and your use of Legal Bueno does not and will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Legal Bueno. Instead, you are and will be representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake through Legal Bueno's legal document service unless you have opted into a separate limited-scope representation service through a network attorney.
You give Legal Bueno consent to affix your electronic signature where required to file your documents or report. You understand that you may withdraw your consent, provided the documents have not already been filed, by contacting us.

In connection with the use of certain Legal Bueno products or services, you may be asked to provide personal information in a text message, questionnaire, online forms, application, or similar document or service.

Every individual's legal situation is unique, and more complex cases might necessitate professional legal advice and representation. Legal Bueno’s platform and services are not designed to recognize every scenario where legal representation might be advised, necessary, or beneficial. We do not verify the accuracy or legal adequacy of your documents or the information you provide, nor do we make legal judgments, offer legal advice, or apply the law to the specifics of your case.
It is the responsibility of each user to decide whether consulting a lawyer is appropriate for their situation.
Our Services.
Legal Bueno provides an online platform designed to offer users a general understanding of legal matters and access to automated software for self-preparation of legal documents. Our website features broad information on common legal issues. The services we provide include reviewing your inputs for completeness, spelling accuracy, and internal consistency of details such as names and addresses. However, we do not assess the legal adequacy of your responses, make legal interpretations, offer legal advice or recommendations, or apply law to your specific circumstances. It's crucial to understand that Legal Bueno is not a law firm and does not provide attorney services. Our platform, services, and document templates are not equivalent to legal counsel from a qualified attorney.
We strive to maintain the accuracy and relevance of our legal documents. However, given the rapid evolution of laws, we cannot guarantee that all information on our site or applications is entirely up-to-date. Legal standards vary by jurisdiction and can be interpreted differently by various courts. Legal matters are inherently personal, and general information or tools like those provided by Legal Bueno may not suit every situation. Moreover, the legal content on our platform is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, comprehensive, or current. If you require legal advice for a specific issue, or if your situation is too complex for our tools to address adequately, we strongly recommend consulting a licensed attorney in your area.
It's important to note that using our site and applications does not create an attorney-client relationship with Legal Bueno. By utilizing our legal document service, you are representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake. Our platform is not intended to establish any form of legal representation between users and Legal Bueno. The information and tools we provide are meant to be educational and assistive, but they do not replace the expertise and personalized advice that a qualified attorney can provide.
We encourage users to approach legal matters with caution and to seek professional legal counsel when dealing with complex or high-stakes situations. Legal Bueno's role is to provide general information and document preparation tools, but the responsibility for understanding and applying this information to your specific circumstances ultimately rests with you, the user.
BOI Report.
If you utilize the Services to generate and file a Beneficial Ownership Information Report (the "BOI Report"), the following terms are applicable:
Any documents generated by Legal Bueno or utilized in conjunction with the Services (including the BOI Report) should not be considered a replacement for professional legal or financial advice or services. You grant us permission to create your BOI Report through the Services based on the information you supply. While we will formulate your BOI Report, you acknowledge that you are entirely responsible for (a) the information you provide, (b) reviewing the BOI Report’s contents, and (c) ensuring that you agree with the BOI Report prior to submission. You also accept full responsibility for independently verifying whether the BOI Report and the filing services we provide are in compliance with the laws, regulations, and rules set forth by FinCEN and any other relevant authorities.
The criteria for preparing a BOI Report can vary significantly based on federal laws, regulations, and how FinCEN interprets these laws. We cannot assure that all information provided by Legal Bueno is up-to-date or accurate. Due to legal changes and varying legal interpretations, it is advisable to consult with a licensed attorney or financial professional to determine how the Services, the information you provide, or the BOI Report prepared by Legal Bueno apply to your specific situation.
Legal Bueno does not establish an attorney-client relationship or a financial advisor-client relationship with any user as a result of generating or filing the BOI Report.
Although Legal Bueno may handle the electronic filing of your BOI Report to FinCEN, it is important to note that Legal Bueno does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information provided by the user or for any errors, omissions, or discrepancies in the BOI Report. The user remains solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the information provided and for complying with all applicable laws and regulations related to beneficial ownership reporting.
Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.
Summary:
Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by e-mailing us. In the unlikely event that we are unable unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if Legal Bueno has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or in small claims court rather than in a court of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than a court does, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.
You may speak with independent counsel before using this Site or completing any purchase.
Arbitration Agreement:
(a) Legal Bueno and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us before a single arbitrator. The types of disputes and claims we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted. It applies, without limitation, to:
For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to "Legal Bueno," "you," and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, employers, business partners, shareholders, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms or any prior agreements between us. Beneficiaries include, but are not limited to, those named in an estate planning document.
These Terms are governed and enforced in accordance with the laws of California without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Legal Bueno are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms evidence a transaction or website use in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms.
You may download or copy a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association ("the AAA") website at https://www.adr.org.
