Rocket LawyerLegal Terms

Thanks for using Rocket Lawyer. These General Terms of Service ("General Terms"), along with any applicable Additional Terms (defined below) (collectively, the “Terms”) cover your use and access to the products, services, software, platform and websites (collectively, "Services") provided by Rocket Lawyer Incorporated and any of our affiliates (collectively, "Rocket Lawyer"). By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these General Terms as well as our Privacy Policy. If you are using our Services as the employee or agent of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of that organization. Please note that the statements set forth under the headings "More simply put" are provided as a courtesy solely for your convenience and are not legally binding or otherwise intended to modify these Terms in any way.

You must be the legal age of majority in your state of residence or otherwise able to form a binding contract with Rocket Lawyer in order to use the Services. In no event is use of the Services permitted by those under the age of 13.

In addition to these General Terms, your use of specific Services may be governed by additional terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”) such as:

• Rocket Lawyer External Pro Services
• Rocket Lawyer Legal Services
• RocketSign
• Rocket Wallet
• Document Defense
• Rocket Tax
• Legal Benefits
• Registered Agent 
• Rocket Copilot

If there is any conflict between the terms in the General Terms and the Additional Terms, then the Additional Terms govern in relation to that Service. Certain of our Services are offered by subsidiaries, where noted in the applicable Additional Terms.

1. Trial Offers, Auto-Renewals and Paid Accounts

Rocket Lawyer makes available trial offers for the limited use of the Services (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 Rocket Lawyer to charge your payment method a recurring monthly membership fee or annual membership fee, as applicable. If you wish to use additional Services beyond those included in the Trial Offer, you may be asked to separately purchase those Services or to upgrade to a paid membership prior to the end of the Trial Offer period. Please visit our Membership and Pricing page for additional details on our available memberships. We reserve the right to change our pricing from time to time, but our price changes will always be prospective and not retroactive.

To ensure uninterrupted service and to enable you to conveniently purchase additional products and Services, Rocket Lawyer will store and update (e.g. upon expiration) 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, change your billing cycle, and/or to suspend your paid membership until your designated payment method can be charged again. Please note that it is your responsibility to maintain current billing information on file with Rocket Lawyer.

If you have access to the Rocket Lawyer Services through a Program Sponsor (defined below), renewal of your membership will be determined by the separate agreement between Rocket Lawyer and the Program Sponsor. "Program Sponsor'' means any company, organization or affiliation that purchases Rocket Lawyer memberships on behalf of its members or employees.

2. Refund Policy

We want you to be 100% satisfied with our Services. If there is a problem with the delivery of your Services or you believe there has been an error in billing, please contact our Customer Service Department by email at support@rocketlawyer.com or by telephone at (877) 881-0947 immediately so that we can help you resolve the issue, provide a refund, or offer credit that can be used for future Services when appropriate.

When contacting us, please include any details relating to the Services you have purchased so that we can ensure you are completely satisfied with your Rocket Lawyer experience. Except when state law allows otherwise, all refund requests must be made within 30 days of purchase.

We do not offer refunds where you receive access to the Service through a Program Sponsor, on payments we have collected for incorporation-related, short-term rental licensing assistance, or tax preparation services (including, without limitation, registered agent services), Services that have been commenced and/or completed (such as a tax return), annual plans after 30 days have elapsed since your purchase, when an annual plan has been purchased in conjunction with another Rocket Lawyer product that has been discounted, or on payments to other third parties with a role in processing your order. We also cannot refund any money paid by you directly to third parties, such as payments made by you directly to External Pros. 

Please note that certain services, such as registered agent services, monthly plans and annual plans, automatically renew, so if you do not want your plan to renew, please contact us at support@rocketlawyer.com or by telephone at (877) 881-0947 before the renewal date of your plan. You may also cancel Services before they renew via your online account.

3. Membership Downgrade

To downgrade your membership online, please follow these instructions. Alternatively, you may call our customer service team at (877) 881-0947 during our regular business hours (6:00am-6:00pm Monday-Friday Pacific Time).

Please note that if you choose to downgrade your membership, Rocket Lawyer reserves the right to collect fees from you to cover fees charged to Rocket Lawyer or its agents on behalf of your account. In addition, if you fail to provide a payment on time, Rocket Lawyer reserves the right to downgrade your membership and/or change your billing cycle without prior notice. Please note that downgrading does not affect your ability to access the documents you created through Rocket Lawyer's Service.

4. Rocket Lawyer Legal Information is Not a Substitute for Legal Advice

Rocket Lawyer provides a platform for legal information and self-help. Our Services do not include legal insurance or constitute an insurance product. The information provided by Rocket Lawyer along with the content of our Service related to legal matters is provided for your private use and does not constitute legal advice ("Legal Information"). We do not review any information you provide us for legal accuracy or sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide opinions about your selection of forms, or apply the law to the facts of your situation. 

If you need legal advice for a specific problem, you should consult with a licensed attorney using Rocket Lawyer’s Ask a Lawyer service (as provided by Rocket Legal Professional Services, Inc. (“RLPS”)). Legal Information provided by Rocket Lawyer through its Service is not a substitute for legal advice from a qualified attorney licensed to practice in an appropriate jurisdiction. Communications between you and Rocket Lawyer are not protected as privileged communications under the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine. Also, if you use the Rocket Lawyer Ask a Lawyer service, the communications between you and the attorney who answers your question may not be protected as privileged communications under the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine.

For the sake of clarity, your use of the Services does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Rocket Lawyer, or between you and any Rocket Lawyer subsidiary, employee or representative, unless you specifically enter into an RLPS Services Agreement (“RSA”) and RLPS Order for attorney legal advice. Unless you are otherwise represented by an attorney, you represent yourself in any legal matter you undertake through our Services.

Rocket Lawyer is not a "Lawyer Referral Service." The directory of lawyers published on our Service is provided to the public free of charge and is for informational purposes only. Rocket Lawyer does not endorse or recommend any attorney nor does it make any warranty as to the qualifications or competency of any attorney.

5. Interactions with Attorneys

When you use our Services, you will have the opportunity to submit legal questions and receive information or advice in one of two ways: 1) through an RLPS In-House Pro (“IHP”), who is either an attorney or paralegal paid for by Rocket Lawyer, or employed within the RLPS law firm owned by Rocket Lawyer or 2) through a third-party independent contractor attorney (“External Pro”) not employed by Rocket Lawyer or RLPS.

You may have an initial consultation or other interaction with an attorney prior to formally entering into an attorney-client relationship; these initial consultations or interactions are intended to be a starting point for dealing with your legal matter and do not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. Further details regarding consultations will be outlined in the RSA and accompanying Order.

RLPS In-House Pros (“IHPs”)

If you engage an RLPS IHP to provide legal advice, you must first enter into an RSA and Order that creates an attorney-client relationship between you and our affiliate, RLPS. Additional terms and conditions will apply in that situation and you will have the right and opportunity to be provided with and review those terms and conditions prior to engaging with RLPS. There is no attorney-client relationship formed, and RLPS is under no duty to act as your lawyer, unless and until an RSA and Order for attorney advice is agreed to and accepted by both you and RLPS. Up until that point in time, any information provided to you regarding the law or your specific situation is simply legal Information, to be used by you - at your discretion, and at your own risk. If there is any conflict between the RSA and these Terms, the RSA shall govern.

NOTE:

RLPS is a company authorized to provide legal services, including the practice of law, by the Arizona Supreme Court, as of 9/24/2024.

This service is being provided by an entity that is not a traditional legal provider. This entity is owned/managed (fully or partially) by nonlawyers who are not subject to the same rules as lawyers.

If you have questions, please contact us at info@rocketlegalproservices.com

External Pros (Formerly known as “On Call network attorneys”)

External Pros are neither employees nor agents of Rocket Lawyer. External Pros are third-party, independent attorneys who carry their own malpractice insurance, manage their own client fund trust accounts, and have agreed to provide online answers, limited consultations or other legal services to Rocket Lawyer members at discounted rates. 

As a Rocket Lawyer member, you may have the opportunity to engage an External Pro to handle your legal matters. When you engage an External Pro, the External Pros Terms of Service apply, along with these General Terms. Communicating with an External Pro through Rocket Lawyer’s platform is NOT required. However, if you communicate with an External Pro through Rocket Lawyer and/or RLPS, please note the following:

• When you contact an External Pro through Rocket Lawyer, any initial interactions and any attorney-client relationship formed during the course of that interaction is strictly between you and the External Pro and expressly EXCLUDES Rocket Lawyer and RLPS.
• When you contact an External Pro through Rocket Lawyer, he or she may ask you for some information regarding you and your legal affairs in order to properly address your questions. By using our Services, you consent to sharing such personally identifying information for the purpose of securing legal advice with both the requesting attorney and with Rocket Lawyer. Rocket Lawyer and RLPS will not have access to information you provide directly to the External Pro, except in cases where you do so through our platform, in which case we can access that information for fulfillment and quality assurance purposes.
• When you contact an External Pro through Rocket Lawyer, you and the External Pro control both the duration and scope of the interaction. Any attorney-client relationship formed during the course of that interaction may either

1. end when the interaction with the External Pro ends, or
2. continue if you and the External Pro agree to continue the engagement for further legal services.

• If you wish to create an attorney-client relationship with an External Pro that extends beyond your use of our Services, that relationship will be on whatever terms you establish with the attorney in question. Those terms do NOT involve Rocket Lawyer and RLPS and, except for pre-negotiating special discounts for our members, we do not set, control or influence External Pros. For example, the External Pro may ask you to sign a formal representation agreement regarding the scope of work they will perform, the cost of their legal services, and the handling of any out of pocket expenses they may incur.
• External Pros may be compensated by Rocket Lawyer for Services performed on your behalf; however, except where authorized by law, Rocket Lawyer does not receive any share of legal fees collected by any attorneys in our network. In all cases, Rocket Lawyer will not influence or interfere in any way with any attorney's independent professional judgment. External Prosreserve the right to refuse to perform legal services on your behalf in their sole discretion.
• Rocket Lawyer and RLPS do not endorse or recommend any External Pros. You should carefully evaluate the experience and qualifications of any External Pro before hiring them as your lawyer. Rocket Lawyer and RLPS make no representation or warranty as to the qualifications or competency of any External Pro or as to the accuracy or completeness of any External Pro’s work.

ROCKET LAWYER AND RLPS SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR ANY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES RENDERED BY ANY EXTERNAL PRO YOU ENCOUNTER ON OR THROUGH OUR SERVICES, AND ANY USE OR RELIANCE ON SUCH PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

6. Attorney Advertising Disclaimer

This website and its contents may be considered attorney advertising under the rules of certain jurisdictions. 

External Pro profiles on our Service are provided as a free public service, not a list of paid advertisements or endorsements. Rocket Lawyer does not guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in any External Pro profile. External Pros are third-party independent contractors solely responsible for the advice they give, the services they provide and the representations about themselves they make. You are solely responsible for assessing the quality, integrity, suitability and trustworthiness of all persons with whom you communicate regarding your legal needs. Prior results (for example, positive testimonials from prior clients) do not guarantee a similar outcome. 

RLPS and Rocket Lawyer Attorney profiles and information that we make publicly available are provided for public information purposes, but are not intended to imply that the attorneys can provide legal advice in all jurisdictions. Rather, the attorneys are only available to help customers in jurisdictions where authorized to provide legal services; information regarding attorney services are not intended for anyone located in a state where these services are not authorized.

7. Business Filings and Registered Agent Service

Rocket Lawyer offers entity formation, business filing and registered agent Services in all 50 states. Rocket Lawyer occasionally partners with other companies to fulfill business formation, registered agent or other business filing orders. You understand and agree that Rocket Lawyer will share certain personally identifiable information for you with the applicable third-party provider.

States require your business entity to have a registered agent or an equivalent on file with the Secretary of State or other department. By purchasing Registered Agent Services from Rocket Lawyer, you authorize Rocket Lawyer and/or its third-party provider to receive service of process, including any notices of legal proceedings, other legal notices, or official government communication, and any items covered by the respective statute, rule, or regulation on your entity’s behalf. You further authorize your Registered Agent to scan, upload and transmit any such communications received on your entity’s behalf to your email address and into your account. When appropriate, Rocket Lawyer and/or its partners may also forward physical mail received on your behalf to the business address we have on record. To update your contact information, please contact us at (877) 881-0947 or rasupport@rocketlawyer.com. 

Rocket Lawyer's filing Services are intended for users forming or maintaining their own business(es). Communications related to Rocket Lawyer filings will be directed towards the email and/or mailing address we have on file.

To ensure uninterrupted service, Registered Agent Services will automatically renew for successive 1-year terms at the end of each subscription period. If you do not opt out of this auto-renewal program, Rocket Lawyer will charge the payment method (e.g., credit card, debit card, or PayPal) you provided with the original order and renew you for the service term you selected. Rocket Lawyer reserves the right to increase all service fees at any time without notification to you. We will, however, notify you of any increase in service fees prior to renewing your service.

You may cancel the Registered Agent Service at any time by contacting Rocket Lawyer at (877) 881-0947 during our normal business hours. In addition to canceling the Registered Agent Service, to comply with your state's regulations, you will also need to submit appropriate change of agent paperwork with the applicable state agencies. Any fees associated with completing such a change of agent are your sole responsibility. By canceling the Registered Agent Service, you acknowledge and understand that we will take necessary steps to resign as your registered agent. Upon resignation, Rocket Lawyer and any of its affiliates, directors, agents, employees, or other Rocket Lawyer service providers will cease to act as your Registered Agent and stop all Registered Agent related Services. Specific information regarding the change of registered agent process and any related government fee information can be found on your state's website. Rocket Lawyer does not offer full or prorated refunds for canceled Registered Agents Services. Such services are purchased and renewed on an annual basis and must be canceled prior to the renewal date to avoid recurring annual charges.

If your entity is dissolved, either voluntarily or involuntarily, it is your responsibility to notify Rocket Lawyer of this dissolution so that we may cancel the Registered Agent services that are no longer needed. Until we are notified otherwise, your Registered Agent subscription will continue to renew and bill as described in this section.

Rocket Lawyer reserves the right to cancel your Registered Agent Service at any time if you refuse to pay or your payment method is declined. You agree to bear any risk of termination, and under no circumstances will Rocket Lawyer be liable or responsible for any damage or inconvenience caused or alleged to be caused by termination.

Rocket Lawyer provides short-term rental licensing assistance (“STR”) in certain jurisdictions. If you purchase an STR product, you authorize Rocket Lawyer to file certain documents on your behalf as your agent for the limited purpose of making your STR filing with the appropriate local jurisdiction. You acknowledge that some local jurisdictions do not allow for Rocket Lawyer to file STR documents on your behalf. In those cases, Rocket Lawyer shall assist you to the extent possible by providing self-help instructions to make your filing on your own. Rocket Lawyer does not guarantee any specific outcome, such as a successful STR registration or license application and Rocket Lawyer shall not be liable for any errors, omissions, costs, loss of profits, or any other monetary amounts to you for any reason as a result of anything related to its provision of STR services to you. You acknowledge that there may be fees, costs, registration bills, taxes and other amounts required by local governments for your STR filing, for which you will be responsible to pay, in addition to any Rocket Lawyer STR service charges. Such additional governmental fees may vary from time to time and from locality to locality. Once you have purchased an STR product and guidance has been provided to you for the STR filing in your applicable jurisdiction, you shall not be eligible for any refunds related to the STR services fees. 

8. Termination of Membership and Access Restriction

If Rocket Lawyer elects to terminate your membership, Rocket Lawyer will provide you with notice at your registered email address. Rocket Lawyer also reserves the right to modify or discontinue, either temporarily or permanently, any part of its Services with notice. You agree that Rocket Lawyer will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of your membership or access to the Services.

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by calling our Customer Service Department at 1-877-881-0947. You can also email us at support@rocketlawyer.com.

However, if Rocket Lawyer is not able to resolve a dispute with you after attempting to do so informally, then as a condition to your use of the Services we mutually agree to resolve such dispute through binding arbitration under the auspices of JAMS Alternative Dispute Resolution ("JAMS"). JAMS will administer any such arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, San Francisco (CA), or any other location as to which we may then mutually agree. A party seeking arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of dispute.

Any notice to Rocket Lawyer should be addressed to Rocket Lawyer Incorporated, 2261 Market St., #10647, San Francisco CA 94114, Attention: General Counsel. Any notice to you shall be sent to your address as set forth in Rocket Lawyer's records of account or such other legal address as Rocket Lawyer is able to identify.

You may only resolve disputes with Rocket Lawyer on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren't allowed.

Notwithstanding our agreement to arbitrate our disputes as provided above, the following exceptions will apply to the resolution of disputes between us:

• Either you or Rocket Lawyer may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in San Francisco, California or in any United States county where you live or work without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
• Rocket Lawyer may bring a lawsuit against you in any court of competent jurisdiction solely for injunctive relief to stop any unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property infringement without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
• In the event that the agreement to arbitrate provided herein is found to be inapplicable or unenforceable for any reason, then as a condition to your use of the Services we agree that any resulting judicial proceedings will be brought in the federal or state courts of San Francisco, California, and by your use of the Services you expressly consent to venue and personal jurisdiction of the courts therein.

Rocket Lawyer may, in the future, make changes to these provisions regarding dispute resolution and arbitration by providing notice in accordance with the "Modifications" section below. You may reject any changes to this section made during your Membership by sending us written notice. Such notice must be given within thirty (30) calendar days of the notice of modification to the following address: Rocket Lawyer Incorporated, 2261 Market St., #10647, San Francisco CA 94114, Attention: General Counsel.

These Terms are governed by the law of California, U.S.A., unless preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules.

20. Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Rocket Lawyer with respect to the subject matter of these Terms, and supersede and replace any other prior or contemporaneous agreements, or terms and conditions applicable to the subject matter of these Terms. These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights other than as specifically stated in Section 17 of these Terms.

21. Waiver, Severability and Assignment

Rocket Lawyer's failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting the intent of the unenforceable language as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, and any such attempt will be void. Rocket Lawyer may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services.
