User Agreement

You accept this Agreement by (a) clicking “I agree” or a similar affirmation when creating an account, (b) accessing the Services after being notified of these terms, or (c) using the Services on behalf of an organization that has entered into a separate written agreement with Belmont Knight, in which case that written agreement takes precedence over conflicting terms below.

Belmont Knight operates a legal services platform. Except where we expressly state otherwise in writing, Belmont Knight is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Attorneys who use the Services are independent professionals responsible for their own engagements, work product, and compliance with the professional conduct rules of their jurisdictions.

Nothing on the Services (including matched attorney profiles, templates, articles, or Insights posts) constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship with Belmont Knight. An attorney-client relationship is formed only through a signed engagement letter between you and an attorney.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of forming a binding contract to use the Services. Attorneys must additionally be in good standing with the bar of at least one U.S. jurisdiction.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at support@belmontknight.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

Clients agree to:

• Provide accurate matter descriptions and complete requested documents;
• Communicate through the platform’s messaging system to preserve audit trail;
• Pay agreed fees promptly and honor escrow instructions;
• Understand that decisions about legal strategy remain between the client and the attorney.

Attorneys agree to:

• Maintain active bar admission and applicable malpractice coverage;
• Comply with the professional conduct rules of every jurisdiction in which they render advice;
• Perform conflict checks before accepting a matter and decline representation where conflicts exist;
• Respond to authorized matter messages within the response-time badge for their tier;
• Not solicit clients outside their assigned matters or use client contact details for purposes outside the Services.

Fees, subscription pricing (Verified, Enhanced, Premier, Rainmaker, Firm), matter deposits, and payout schedules are described on the Marketing page and in your portal billing settings. Belmont Knight escrows client deposits and releases funds according to milestones the parties agree to in the matter.

You retain ownership of the content you upload to a matter. You grant Belmont Knight a limited, non-exclusive license to host, transmit, and process that content to operate the Services and provide it to the participants of the matter. We do not use matter content to train third-party models.

You may not:

• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your credentials;
• Upload malware, phishing content, or content that infringes third-party rights;
• Circumvent access controls or use scraping/automation tools against the Services;
• Solicit or facilitate off-platform payments to avoid platform fees;
• Use the Services to engage in unauthorized practice of law.

We may suspend or terminate your access if we believe you have violated this Agreement, if required by law, or to protect the Services and their users. You may close your account at any time from Settings; certain records (e.g. matter files, invoices) may be retained as required by law.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BELMONT KNIGHT DOES NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF ATTORNEY PROFILES, TEMPLATES, INSIGHTS, OR ANY OUTPUT PRODUCED THROUGH THE SERVICES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BELMONT KNIGHT’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR $100 IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID US ANYTHING. BELMONT KNIGHT WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold Belmont Knight harmless from claims arising out of (a) your breach of this Agreement, (b) your content, or (c) your violation of applicable law.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, seated in Sheridan, Wyoming. You and Belmont Knight waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in class actions.

We may amend this Agreement from time to time. Material changes will be notified in-portal or by email at least 15 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
