Wow! You’re actually reading our terms of use. Let’s be honest, most people don’t read these things. Vellum LLC tried to design its site so that you will read and understand the terms. You might even be entertained.
Vellum offers a public website, legal products, and legal services. When you visit Vellum’s site, purchase one of its product, or subscribe to one of its services, you agree to be bound by these terms.
The Public Website
Vellum doesn’t have merchandise, but it has lots of information, documents, pictures and the like. Just as you wouldn’t take or copy any of the files, folders, documents, information, paintings, etc. in an office; you wont take any of Vellum’s stuff or try to recreate it. Remember, you’re a guest. You’ll also obey the law. That kind of goes without saying; but you should be aware that there are all kinds of other laws that govern Vellum’s website. Vellum expects you to follow these rules. These terms don’t modify or waive any of Vellum’s rights under these laws. Vellum’s materials are provided as-is. Vellum doesn’t make any warranties. If you use Vellum’s site and are damaged by using it, Vellum is not responsible for those damages. You’re using the site at your own risk.
Legal Products and Legal Services
If you take the next step and create a username and password to purchase a product or service on Vellum’s web application, then Vellum grants you a license to login, upload non-objectionable data (Vellum decides what is objectionable), print your data, and display your data in accordance with the design of the web application, the product you purchases, your subscription, and agreements associated with specific products or agreements. That’s it. You don’t have any other rights. You will then be responsible for your username and password.
You will pay for the legal products up front. You will pay for subscriptions on a monthly bases via a valid credit card or a direct payment service such as Dwolla. The fees and prices are exclusive of all taxes. We will not refund or credit you for partial month or year of service (depending on the subscription you purchase). You may cancel your subscription according to the terms of the service you purchase. You are responsible for canceling your subscription. There are no charges for canceling the service. If you want the documents and data you uploaded back, then you must make a request for it within six months after canceling the subscription. Vellum will then provide you with a copy of the documents and data in your account.
Even though you created a username and password, Vellum may refuse to accept a service or product. Vellum will keep your data safe in accordance with the security policies of its vendors. Vellum may use third-party vendors and hosting partners for its products and services. Vellum may change it’s web application and prices without notice. If you continue using the services after these changes, then your continued use is your acceptance of the changes. Vellum may temporarily suspend the service whenever it needs to such as upgrades and maintenance. Vellum may terminate your subscription without cause at any time.
Warranties and Liability
Vellum’s products and services are designed to allow you to do most of the work on your own. This allows Vellum to keep its costs down. This means that our services are not perfectly tailored to your needs, but you still get a good fit. It’s kind of like the difference between a tailored suit and a suit you buy at JC Penny. Vellum’s provides this portion of its legal services and products as-is. Your damages for this part of the service is limited to the fee you paid for the product or a one-year subscription rate for the subscription service. The next part of the service includes legal advice from an attorney. This portion of the service is subject to the attorney-client agreement you enter into when you register on Vellum’s web application.
Copyright
We grant you a license to use a contract you created on Vellum’s web application just for one final signed copy. If you use it for any other purpose, then you are violating Vellum’s copyright.
Site Terms of Use Modifications
Vellum may revise these terms of use for its web site at any time without notice. By using this web site you are agreeing to be bound by the then current version of these terms. The laws of the state of Alaska shall govern any claim you make relating to Vellum’s web site without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
