Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 4th, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at www.wildlandlegal.com, including all subdomains, content, and features made available on it (the "Site"). The Site is owned and operated by Wildland Legal, P.C., a California professional law corporation (#32331) ("Firm," "we," "us," or "our"). Jonathan Franz (State Bar of California Member #273889) is the attorney responsible for the content of the Site.

By accessing or using the Site, you ("you," "your," or "User") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

These Terms apply only to your general use of the Site. If you become a client of the Firm, our relationship, including fees, scope of services, and the handling of your confidential information, is governed exclusively by your signed engagement letter with the Firm and by my professional obligations as an attorneys. Our Privacy Policy (incorporated into these Terms by reference) describes how we handle personal information collected through the Site.

1. Eligibility

The Site is intended for adults. By using the Site, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract.

2. Attorney Advertising

The Site may be considered attorney advertising under the California Rules of Professional Conduct and the California Business and Professions Code.

3. No Legal Advice; No Attorney-Client Relationship

The Site provides general information about the Firm and its services. Nothing on the Site is legal advice, and you should not act or refrain from acting based on any Site content without first obtaining advice from a qualified attorney about your specific situation.

Your use of the Site, your submission of a contact form, your scheduling of a call, or your sending of an e-mail or other message to the Firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship with the Firm is formed only when (a) we have completed a conflict-of-interest check and (b) you and the Firm have both signed a written engagement letter.

4. Do Not Send Confidential Information

Please do not send us confidential, proprietary, or time-sensitive information through the Site, by e-mail, or otherwise until we have confirmed in writing that we can represent you. Until then, we may be unable to treat unsolicited information as confidential, and receiving it may not prevent us from representing another party in the same or a related matter. If you share information with us in the course of a consultation about possible representation, we will handle it consistent with our professional obligations to prospective clients.

Communications sent to us before an engagement may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege. Do not rely on any communication with the Firm to preserve a deadline, including any statute of limitations or contractual deadline.

5. Jurisdiction and Licensing

Jonathan Franz is licensed to practice law in the State of California. The Firm does not seek to represent anyone based solely on their visit to the Site in a jurisdiction where the Site fails to comply with applicable laws and ethical rules governing attorney advertising. Where a matter involves the laws of another jurisdiction, we may associate with local counsel or advise you to do so.

6. Prior Results; Professional Background

Descriptions of past experience, results, transactions, roles, recognition, or metrics on the Site (including references to prior in-house positions) do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter. Every matter is different, and outcomes depend on the facts and law specific to each engagement.

References to former employers or other third-party companies are provided only to describe the attorney's professional background. They do not imply that any such company endorses, sponsors, or is affiliated with the Firm, and all third-party names and marks belong to their respective owners.

7. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site, including text, graphics, photographs, the "Wildland Legal" name, the mountain-and-forest badge logo, and other marks, and the selection and arrangement of that content (collectively, the "Content"), is owned by the Firm or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the Content solely for your own personal, non-commercial informational use. You may not, without our prior written consent:

  • Copy, reproduce, distribute, publish, or create derivative works from any Content;

  • Use the Firm's name, logo, or other marks in any manner likely to suggest affiliation with or endorsement by the Firm;

  • Use any Content to develop, train, fine-tune, or improve any product or service, including any artificial intelligence or machine learning model;

  • Scrape, crawl, mine, or use automated means to extract data or Content from the Site; or

  • Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.

All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved by the Firm.

8. User Conduct

You agree not to use the Site to: violate any applicable law; transmit any harmful code or malware; impersonate any person or entity; submit false or misleading information through any form; interfere with the operation or security of the Site; or use the Site for any commercial purpose not expressly permitted by us.

9. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or embedded third-party tools (for example, scheduling, e-mail, or analytics services). We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party site or service. A link does not mean we endorse that site. Your use of any third-party site or service is subject to that third party's own terms and privacy policy.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR CURRENTNESS, OR THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE. THE LAW CHANGES FREQUENTLY, AND SITE CONTENT MAY NOT REFLECT THE MOST CURRENT LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE FIRM AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS, ATTTORNEY, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE. THE FIRM'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00). THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND DOES NOT LIMIT ANY OBLIGATION THE FIRM OWES TO A CLIENT UNDER AN ENGAGEMENT LETTER OR APPLICABLE PROFESSIONAL RULES.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Firm and its shareholders, attorney, employees, and contractors from any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.

13. Governing Law; Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California, and you and the Firm consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court. Any dispute arising from a client engagement is governed by the dispute-resolution terms of the applicable engagement letter.

14. Accessibility

The Firm is committed to making the Site accessible to all users. If you encounter an accessibility barrier or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us at jonathan@wildlandlegal.com so we can assist you and address the issue.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Effective Date" above indicates when these Terms were last revised. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Firm regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements regarding the Site. Our failure to enforce any right or provision will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
