Legal and Ethical Requirements

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Contingent attorneys' fees refers only to those fees charged by attorneys for their legal services. Such fees are not permitted in all types of cases. Court costs and other additional expenses of legal action usually must be paid by the client. The percentage fee will be computed before or after expenses are deducted from the recovery in accordance with state laws.

It is the Firm's intention to fully comply with all legal and ethical requirements related to the website. To the extent that the professional responsibility requirements of any jurisdiction require us to designate a principal office or an attorney responsible for the website, the Firm designates its New Jersey office as its principal office.

Entire Agreement; Severability; No Waiver

These Terms of Use incorporate by reference any notices contained on the website and, with our Privacy Policy and any end-user license agreements, constitute the entire agreement regarding your access to and use of the website. If any provision of these Terms of Use or our Privacy Policy is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision will be severable from the remaining provisions and will not affect their validity and enforceability. Firm's failure to enforce any provision on any occasion is not and should not be construed as a waiver of such provision.

Governing Law; Jurisdiction

These Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy are to be governed by and construed in accord with the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to choice of law principles, and U.S. federal and state courts located in the State of New York, USA, are the exclusive forum and have sole jurisdiction for any dispute.

Claims of Copyright Infringement and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

The Firm is committed to complying with U.S. copyright and related laws, and requires all customers and users of the Service to comply with these laws. Owners of copyrighted works who believe that their rights under U.S. copyright law have been infringed may take advantage of certain provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") to report alleged infringements.

In the event that you claim to be the copyright owner of any content, you agree to immediately notify the Firm of any claimed copyright infringement. You further agree to provide the Firm's copyright agent the following information as required by the DMCA, Title 17, U.S.C. § 512:

  1. your physical or electronic signature or that of a person authorized to act on behalf of you, the purported owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

  2. identification of the copyright or work claimed to have been infringed, or a multiple copyrighted work at a single online site or covered by a single notification, or a representative list of such works at that site;

  3. identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;

  4. information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, the complaining party, or the person authorized to act on your behalf;

  5. a statement that you, the complaining party, have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by you the copyright owner, your agent, or the law; and

  6. a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of you, the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. The Firm's Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement on or relating to the website can be reached by email at info@sanderslong.com.

The Firm will respond expeditiously to either directly or indirectly (i) remove the allegedly infringing work(s) stored on the website or (ii) disable access to the work(s). The Firm will also notify the affected customer or user of the Service of the removal or disabling of access to the work(s). Copyright owners may use their own notification of claimed infringement form that satisfies the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act. Under the DMCA, anyone who knowingly makes misrepresentations regarding alleged copyright infringement may be liable to the Firm, the alleged infringer, and the affected copyright owner for any damages incurred in connection with the removal, blocking, or replacement of allegedly infringing material.

If you receive a notification of alleged infringement as described above, and you believe in good faith that the allegedly infringing works have been removed or blocked by mistake or misidentification, then you may send a counter notification to the Firm. Upon the Firm's receipt of a counter notification that satisfies the DMCA requirements, the Firm will provide a copy of the counter notification to the person who sent the original notification of claimed infringement and will follow the DMCA's procedures with respect to a received counter notification. In all events, you expressly agree that the Firm will not be a party to any disputes or lawsuits regarding alleged copyright infringement.

If a notification of claimed infringement has been filed against you, you can file a counter notification with the Firm's designated agent using the contact information shown above. All counter notifications must satisfy the requirements of Section 512(g)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act.
