Engagement & Legal Services Agreement

(a) Services. Your purchase through the Grow platform is for the specific legal service(s) described at checkout (the “Services”). Unless we later agree in writing, we do not represent you for any other matter, ongoing compliance, or future deadlines (e.g., tax filings, securities law reporting, or corporate formalities).

‍

(b) Platform vs. Legal Advice. Accessing or using the Grow platform alone does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when (i) you purchase Services, (ii) you accept this Agreement, and (iii) we send written confirmation (including automated e-mail) that your engagement is active.

‍

(c) Assignment of Work. To provide cost-effective representation, we may delegate tasks to attorneys, law clerks, and paraprofessionals under attorney supervision consistent with applicable rules of professional conduct.

‍

‍

3. Fees, Costs & Third-Party Providers

(a) Fees. The total fee for the Services is displayed on the Grow checkout page. This amount is due in full at the time of purchase.

‍

(b) Out-of-Pocket Costs. Filing fees, state or federal agency fees, and similar third-party costs (if any) are not included unless the checkout page expressly states otherwise. We will obtain your consent before incurring any material cost on your behalf.

‍

(c) Independent Bookkeeping, Tax, or Accounting Providers. At your request, we may introduce you to independent third-party bookkeeping, tax-preparation, or accounting providers (“Accounting Providers”). These providers:

• operate under separate engagement terms and privacy notices; and
• are responsible for their own professional performance.

‍

We may, for convenience, (i) pass-through bill clearly identified charges from an Accounting Provider or (ii) where permitted, receive a disclosed referral or administrative fee. You are free to select any provider of your choice. Data shared with an Accounting Provider is limited to what is reasonably necessary to perform the requested service.

‍

(d) Collection & Liens. If you do not pay amounts owed in a timely manner, you are responsible for reasonable collection costs, and we may assert a retaining lien on client property in our possession, as allowed by law.

You acknowledge and agree that Grow Legal represents, and will continue to represent, multiple companies, investors, founders, and other parties, including those who may be direct competitors, investors, or otherwise have interests that are adverse to or different from yours. Due to the nature of our online platform and the manner in which services are acquired, you understand that we may not be able to run a traditional conflict check prior to accepting your engagement. Accordingly, by accepting this Agreement, you provide an advance waiver of any actual or potential conflicts of interest that may arise from our representation of other clients, including those whose interests may be directly or indirectly adverse to yours in unrelated or related matters. If a specific conflict arises that, in our professional judgment, requires further disclosure or your informed written consent under applicable rules, we will notify you as soon as practicable. However, you agree that Grow Legal may continue to represent other clients, including those with interests adverse to yours, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and rules of professional conduct

Legal outcomes depend on many factors beyond any lawyer’s control. Accordingly, we make no promise or guarantee concerning the outcome or cost of any matter. All expressions about possible results are statements of opinion only.

You agree to:

• provide timely, accurate, and complete information;
• respond promptly to our requests;
• keep us informed of all material developments and of your current contact information;
• appear for meetings or hearings when reasonably requested; and
• abide by all terms of this Agreement.

‍

Failure to meet these duties may harm your matter and constitutes grounds for us to withdraw.

(a) Attorney-Client Confidentiality. Information you provide after this engagement begins is protected by attorney-client privilege and applicable rules of professional conduct, subject to any mandatory disclosures required by law.

‍

(b) Privacy Controller. For any personal information collected through the Grow platform in the course of providing the Services, PAG.LAW PLLC (d/b/a Grow Legal) is the data controller.

‍

(c) Sensitive Information. We may collect sensitive personal information (e.g., government IDs or financial data) when necessary to deliver legal services. We do not use such information to infer characteristics or for targeted advertising.

‍

(d) AI Tools. We may employ attorney-supervised artificial-intelligence tools to increase efficiency and quality. All outputs are reviewed by qualified professionals and are never a substitute for attorney judgment. We contractually prohibit AI vendors from using client data to train public models.

‍

(e) No Meeting Transcription. Grow Legal does not record or transcribe meetings. If you choose to use your own transcription tool, you do so at your own risk and responsibility.

‍

(f) Data Retention. Client-matter data is retained for the period required by applicable law and professional-responsibility rules, after which it may be securely destroyed or archived at our discretion.

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by written notice. We may terminate (i) for non-payment, (ii) if you provide false or incomplete information, (iii) if you fail to cooperate, or (iv) if continued representation would violate rules of professional conduct. Upon termination, all fees and costs earned or incurred become immediately due. We will provide a copy of your client file upon request, subject to applicable lien rights.

(a) Governing Law. All rights and obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

‍

(b) Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services shall be resolved exclusively by confidential, binding arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The seat and venue of arbitration shall be New York County, New York. One neutral arbitrator shall be appointed. The arbitration award shall be final and may be confirmed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, to whose exclusive jurisdiction the parties irrevocably submit.

‍

(c) Fee Shifting. The prevailing party in any arbitration or related proceeding is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses from the non-prevailing party.

‍

(d) Waivers. By accepting this Agreement, you (i) waive the right to a jury trial, (ii) waive the right to proceed under Part 137 of the Rules of the Chief Administrator of the New York Courts for any fee dispute between $1,000 and $50,000, and (iii) waive any right to appeal or challenge the arbitration award except as allowed under the Federal Arbitration Act.

Before agreeing to this clause, you may wish to consult independent counsel. Arbitration is a private dispute-resolution mechanism where you give up significant litigation rights.

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written communications. Any amendment must be in a writing signed (including electronic signature or click-accept) by both parties. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

By clicking “I Agree,” “Checkout,” or similar acceptance button on the Grow platform, you confirm that you (i) have read and understand this Agreement, (ii) have the authority to bind the Client, and (iii) voluntarily accept all terms and conditions herein, including the mandatory arbitration provisions. Your acceptance by clicking constitutes your electronic signature and forms a binding agreement between you and PAG.LAW PLLC d/b/a Grow Legal, effective as of the date and time you click to accept.

‍

We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and look forward to working together.
