Terms and Conditions
By using the Divorce Media LLC, divorcesoeasy.com website (the “Site”) or any other websites, applications, interactive features, widgets and resources offered by the Site through Internet websites, mobile devices or other platforms (all of which are collectively referred to as the “DSE Service” or “Service”) you affirm that you have read and understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the DSE Service.
Your use of certain portions of the Service may be subject to additional terms and conditions (“Additional Terms“). Where Additional Terms apply, we will make them available for you to read through your use of that portion of the Service. By using that portion of the Service, you agree to the Additional Terms.
The DSE Service is not intended for children under 18 years of age. By using the Site, you affirm that you are the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence or older.
DSE is not a law firm and your use of the Service does not and will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and DSE. We do not provide legal advice through the Service. The Service may facilitate access or introductions to an attorney or other licensed professionals in various ways, including, for example, by providing you with their contact information. These services will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and DSE. If you need legal advice for your specific situation, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area. Also, because the law often changes and is different in different jurisdictions, DSE does not guarantee that all of the information on the Site or Service is current, complete, or accurate.
In order to access some features of the DSE Service, you must register to become a member of the Service. When you register to become a member, DSE collects certain personal information about you. Because the protection of your personal information is important to us, we will only use information we obtain about you in accordance with DSE’s Privacy Policy. You agree that you will: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information when prompted (e.g., at registration); and (b) maintain and update such information so that it is true, accurate, current, and complete at all times. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment and services (e.g., mobile phone and wireless service) needed in order to access and use the DSE Service and for paying all related charges. As part of the set-up and registration process, you will be asked to select a username and password. DSE may refuse to grant you a username or revoke your username for any reason in its sole discretion, including in the event that we determine that such username impersonates someone else, is illegal, vulgar or otherwise offensive, or is protected by trademark or other proprietary rights law, or otherwise may cause confusion. YOU ARE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD AND FOR ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES THAT ARE CONDUCTED THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT. You agree not to transfer or resell your use of or access to the Service to any third party. DSE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY SAFEGUARD YOUR PASSWORD OR FOR ANY ACTIONS OCCURRING UNDER YOUR PASSWORD. We value the integrity of the DSE community. To protect this community, you agree not to use the DSE Service to:
(a) violate any local, state, national or international law or regulation;
b) transmit any material that is abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, pornographic, obscene, libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
(c) transmit any material that you know to be false, inaccurate, or misleading;
(d) stalk, harass, bully, or harm another individual;
(e) transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, junk mail, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes or any other form of solicitation;
(f) knowingly transmit any material that contains adware, malware, spyware, software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment;
(g) defeat or interfere with any security feature of the DSE Service, or attempt to do so;
(h) impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise misrepresent your
affiliation with a person or entity;

connected to the DSE Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to the DSE Service; or
(j) alter or modify any content or component of the DSE Service, other than content you have posted using the DSE Service. You further agree not to use or launch any automated system, including, without limitation, “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers” or the like, that access the DSE Service. DSE reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases.

Disclaimer of Warranties.
YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT USE OF THE DSE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE DSE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DSE AND ITS AFFILIATES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE DSE SERVICE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT).
DSE and its affiliates make no warranties or representations that the Service will meet your requirements or that the results that may be obtained from use of the Service will be accurate or reliable. Further, DSE and its affiliates make no warranties or representations about the availability of the DSE Service, the accuracy or completeness of content available on or through the DSE Service, or the content of any websites linked to the DSE Service.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DSE OR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF SUCH PARTIES
WERE ADVISED OF, KNEW OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), RESULTING FROM YOUR (OR ANYONE USING YOUR ACCOUNT’S) USE OF THE DSE SERVICE. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DSE OR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES EXCEEDING THE GREATER OF (A) $750.00 AND (B) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO DSE DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING
THE INCIDENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY LAW, NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH IS INTENDED TO MODIFY THE PROVISIONS OF THE NEW JERSEY BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE.
Exclusions and Limitations
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent DSE may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any implied warranty or limit its liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of DSE’s liability shall be the minimum permitted under such applicable law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DSE, its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) that they may incur as a result of or arising from: (a) any information (including, without limitation, your User Submissions, Feedback or any other content) you submit, post or transmit on or through the DSE Service or otherwise provide to us; (b) your use of the DSE service; (c) your violation of these Terms or any Additional Terms; or (d) the violation of any rights of any other person or entity, including, without limitation, any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights of any person or entity, by you (or anyone using any of your accounts) or by your User Submissions. If you are a Professional, you also agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all claims relating to or that may be asserted by your clients. DSE reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with DSE in asserting any available defenses.
No Refunds
All payments for the use of the DSE Service are 100% non-refundable once paid. We understand that things happen, and that sometimes you and your spouse may decide to go another direction, or reconcile once you’ve begun the divorce process. If you so choose, you will be able to discontinue your use of the DSE Service at any time; however, given the nature and low-cost of the DSE Service, we cannot provide refunds once you’ve started your divorce using our platform.
These Terms, any Additional Terms, and any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms, the Additional Terms or the provision or use of the Service, shall be governed exclusively by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of New Jersey, without reference to any conflict of laws principles. Any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or related to these Terms (or the interpretation, performance, or breach of them), the Site or the Services, including but not limited to alleged violations of state or federal statutory or common law rights or duties (a “Dispute”) shall be solely and exclusively resolved according to the procedures set forth in this paragraph. If we are unable to resolve any Dispute through informal means, either party may initiate binding arbitration of such Dispute. The arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to the JAMS/Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect as of the date hereof, including the Optional Appeal Procedure provided for in such rules (the “Arbitration Rules”). The arbitration shall be conducted in New Jersey before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by these Terms, including any applicable Additional Terms.
No Disputes may be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. Arbitration can decide only the individual Dispute and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO JOIN CLAIMS WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IN THE FORM OF A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEDURAL DEVICE. ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THESE TERMS MUST BE ASSERTED INDIVIDUALLY. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages against any party.
We do not represent or warrant that the DSE Service, or any part of it, is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. You access the DSE Service on your own initiative and at your own risk, and are responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations. We may limit the availability of DSE Service, in whole or in part, to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction we choose, at any time and in our sole discretion. In particular, the Service currently is not intended for use by residents of the European Union.
These Terms and any Additional Terms constitute the entire and exclusive and final statement of the agreement between you and DSE, and govern your use of the DSE Service. The failure of DSE to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms or any Additional Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If for any reason any provision of these Terms or any Additional Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible to give effect to the intent of the parties, and the remainder of these Terms and any Additional Terms shall continue in full force and effect. The section titles in these Terms and any Additional Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
DSE may, in its sole and absolute discretion, change these Terms from time to time. All changes to the Terms or the Privacy Policy will be effective when posted, and we will provide notification of such changes to you via the Service or contact information you may have provided to DSE upon registration. Your continued use of the Service following any changes to the Terms or the Privacy Policy will constitute your agreement to be bound by such changes. If you object to any such changes, your sole recourse shall be to cease using the DSE Service.
