The gist, from Sam: I’m not your lawyer and I can’t give you legal advice. Even if you buy anything from us, I’m still not your lawyer and I won’t give you legal advice. Ever. You should always consult with your own attorney and/or accountant to find out what’s best for you.  My templates and trainings aren’t meant to be substitutes for legal advice from your own attorney. With all that said, there’s loads of valuable information here for you. Thanks SO much!

3. No Attorney-Client Relationship Between You and Us

We do not offer to create any formal attorney-client relationship with you on this Site. A formal attorney-client relationship is only created once you have been sent and signed a specific and separate written agreement (in lawyer language that’s called an “Engagement Letter”). We don’t offer any legal services or issue any Engagement Letters.

Sam Vander Wielen is an attorney licensed by the State of New Jersey and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. But she is not practicing law or ever offering to perform legal services for you. 

4. Consult A Local Attorney

Our DIY Legal Templates are not customized to any one (American) state. They are generalized templates that may not be specifically tailored to your unique business or situation. That’s why we always advise our customers to have their completed templates reviewed by a local-to-them attorney for completeness.

Each state has different laws regarding contracts, business, services, taxes, etc. Those laws are always evolving, changing, and being interpreted by the Courts of that state. Therefore, it is impossible for us to include state-specific provisions in each of our Courses, Services, and Products, including the legal templates. We don’t represent that our templates cover all 50 American states’ state-specific laws.

BY MAKING A PURCHASE FROM THE SITE, OR ITS COURSES, SERVICES, AND/OR PRODUCTS, you recognize that you have the right and ability to speak, consult, or work with an attorney licensed in your state and/or where you do business prior to Purchase or Download.

5. Affiliate Links/Products

From time to time, we link to products or services we love using affiliate links. This means that we may receive a small percentage or fee for referring you to any product you may purchase from one of those sites. These small fees help sustain our small business. We truly appreciate your support.

6. Amazon Affiliate Notice

We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

7. Sponsored Posts

If a post on the Site is sponsored, we will identify it as such. 

8. Information Is Not a Substitute for Professional Advice

The Site is not a substitute for getting professional advice from your own attorney, accountant/CPA, financial advisor, etc. You should always seek the advice of your own professional before implementing any legal or financial steps to your business.
