4. No Legal Advice

Revisions are limited to formatting, grammar, clarity, and incorporating new facts you provide. Substantive rewrites or scope expansions may be billed as new services.
9. Intellectual Property
Documents prepared by Bigfirmlit and delivered to you are licensed for your personal use in the matter for which they were prepared. Bigfirmlit retains ownership of its templates, methodologies, and proprietary materials. You may not resell or redistribute documents prepared for you to third parties.
10. Confidentiality
Bigfirmlit treats client information as confidential and uses reasonable measures to protect it. However, because Bigfirmlit is not a law firm, communications with Bigfirmlit are not subject to attorney-client privilege. See our Privacy Policy for additional details on how we handle your information.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bigfirmlit’s total liability for any claim arising from or related to our services is limited to the amount paid by you for the specific service giving rise to the claim. Bigfirmlit is not liable for any outcome in court, before any agency, or in any negotiation, nor for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.
12. California LDA Compliance
Bigfirmlit operates in compliance with California Business and Professions Code §6400 et seq., which governs Legal Document Assistants. Bigfirmlit is authorized to prepare legal documents at the direction of self-represented clients but does not provide legal advice or representation.
13. Termination
Either party may terminate services at any time, subject to the Refund Policy above. Bigfirmlit reserves the right to decline or discontinue service in any matter that we determine, in our sole discretion, would require us to engage in the unauthorized practice of law or that conflicts with our compliance obligations.
14. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or our services shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California.
15. Changes to These Terms
Bigfirmlit may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of our services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
