IMPORTANT NOTICE

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. By accessing or using our website or engaging with our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these legal disclaimers and notices. These disclaimers protect both you and ClientLake by clearly defining the nature and limitations of our services.

1. NATURE OF SERVICES

1.1 Marketing Services Provider

ClientLake is a specialized marketing service provider, NOT a law firm.

We provide:

Lead generation system design and implementation
Marketing automation and CRM setup
Educational courseware development for business succession planning
Consultation booking systems and appointment management
Email and SMS marketing automation
Compliance framework documentation and implementation support

We DO NOT provide:

Legal services or legal advice
Legal referrals or lead brokering
Attorney-client relationship facilitation
Practice management or case management
Legal compliance advice or professional responsibility counsel
State bar advertising compliance determinations

1.2 Service Relationship

When you engage ClientLake's services, we operate as a marketing technology vendor and service provider. You (the attorney or law firm) maintain complete professional independence and responsibility for:

Review and approval of all marketing materials
Compliance with state bar advertising rules
Client intake and consultation procedures
Engagement decisions and attorney-client relationships
Professional conduct and ethics obligations
Legal service delivery and client representation

1.3 No Fee-Splitting or Referral Arrangement

IMPORTANT COMPLIANCE DISCLOSURE:

ClientLake's pricing model is based on marketing services provided, NOT on legal referrals, lead generation volume, or client outcomes. We charge fixed monthly fees and setup fees for our marketing services. This structure complies with bar rules prohibiting fee-splitting between attorneys and non-attorneys.

We are NOT:

Paid per lead or per consultation booked
Paid based on attorney revenue or client fees
Acting as a lead broker or referral service
Sharing in legal fees in any way

2. NO GUARANTEES OR REPRESENTATIONS

2.1 Results May Vary

WE MAKE NO GUARANTEES ABOUT MARKETING RESULTS, LEAD VOLUME, OR BUSINESS OUTCOMES.

Marketing and lead generation results depend on numerous factors outside our control, including but not limited to:

Geographic market conditions and competition
Attorney expertise, reputation, and responsiveness
Consultation conversion rates and client intake processes
Seasonal business cycles and economic conditions
Ad platform algorithm changes and costs
Target audience receptiveness and timing
Quality of attorney follow-up and client service

2.2 Past Performance Not Indicative of Future Results

If we share case studies, examples, or results achieved for other attorney clients (once available), these are provided for illustrative purposes only. They do NOT constitute guarantees or predictions of results you will achieve.

Every attorney practice is unique, and results vary based on:

Practice area focus and experience level
Geographic market characteristics
Competition and market saturation
Attorney responsiveness and sales skills
Implementation quality and consistency
Budget allocation and ad spend levels

2.3 Service Performance Expectations

While we strive to deliver high-quality marketing services, we cannot guarantee:

Specific numbers of leads, consultations, or clients
Specific return on investment (ROI) percentages
Immediate results or consistent month-to-month performance
That every lead will be qualified or convert to a client
Uninterrupted service availability (subject to third-party platform dependencies)
Compatibility with all practice management software or systems

3. ATTORNEY PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

3.1 Bar Compliance is Attorney's Responsibility

CRITICAL: While we design our systems with attorney advertising compliance in mind, ultimate responsibility for compliance with state bar rules rests with YOU, the attorney client.

You are responsible for:

Reviewing and approving all marketing materials before launch
Ensuring compliance with your state bar's advertising rules
Including required disclaimers and disclosures
Maintaining accurate jurisdiction and licensing information
Not making prohibited claims or guarantees
Responding promptly to bar inquiries about advertising
Updating materials when bar rules change

3.2 No Legal Advice or Bar Compliance Counsel

ClientLake does NOT provide legal advice, professional responsibility counsel, or bar compliance determinations. We provide marketing services and compliance framework documentation, but YOU must:

Consult with your own professional liability carrier about advertising practices
Seek guidance from ethics counsel if you have compliance questions
Make final determinations about what complies with your bar's rules
Assume responsibility for all marketing content we create on your behalf

3.3 Material Approval Requirements

Our service agreements require attorney clients to review and approve all marketing materials before deployment. By approving materials, you represent that:

Content complies with your state bar's advertising rules
All claims are accurate and substantiated

Facebook and other advertising platforms may reject, suspend, or ban ads for reasons including:
