You must read and agree to these Terms of Use for purchase and/or use of our DIY Legal Template(s) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Templates”) carefully and in their entirety before purchasing and/or using the Templates. The Templates and their content are owned by Sam Vander Wielen LLC.
By purchasing and/or using the Templates, you implicitly hereby agree to be legally bound by the following:
1. DEFINITIONS USED HEREIN:

2. CONSENT TO THESE TERMS OF USE:
By purchasing and using the Templates, you implicitly and voluntarily agree to act in accordance with, agree to, and abide by, these Terms of Use.
3. DISCLAIMER:
By purchasing the Templates, you understand that Sam Vander Wielen is a licensed attorney in the State of New Jersey and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania — however, she does not practice law and will not give you legal advice pertaining to you, your business, or your personal situation. Sam Vander Wielen is never your attorney. You can only get legal advice from a local-to-you licensed attorney.
The instruction provided with these Templates are for informational and educational purposes only. The information and education provided is not intended or implied to supplement or replace the professional advice of your own attorney, accountant, and/or financial advisor. You should consult with a professional in those areas (financial, legal, accounting, etc.) in person with someone where you live or work to discuss issues or questions pertaining to your particular legal, financial, or business situation.
Although we do our best to make sure all of the Templates are up to date and/or accurate, we do not make any representation that the Templates are free of errors at all times. We do not assume any responsibility for accuracy of the Template’s content, information, or their safety or efficacy as it applies to you. We will not review the completed Templates for you.
4. NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US
Sam is not and never will be your lawyer.
Purchasing a Template or pack of Templates from her does not mean she is your lawyer or that she’ll give you legal advice. She won’t.
We do not offer to create any formal attorney-client relationship with you, even if you’ve purchased the Templates. A formal attorney-client relationship is only created once you have entered into a specific and separate written agreement (called an âEngagement Letterâ). Sam Vander Wielen does not offer to enter into these relationships, or to sign Engagement Letters, in her business. Therefore, you are not in an attorney-client relationship with Sam Vander Wielen or Sam Vander Wielen LLC by purchasing the Templates.
5. CONSULT WITH YOUR OWN ATTORNEY
WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE TEMPLATES COVER ALL OF YOUR SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES, ISSUES, OR STATE LAWS. Always consult with a local licensed attorney near you for full compliance.
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 the Templates. Please understand that we do not represent that the Templates are specifically designed or tailored to your state (or any state in particular), or that they accurately depicts what is or is not required by your state and its laws.
We always recommend you consult a local attorney, licensed in the state where you live and do business, to review the Templates you’ve purchased. A local attorney will be able to tell you what you, your business, and your situation needs based on where you live and work.
BY PURCHASING THE TEMPLATES, you acknowledge you have the right and ability to speak, hire, consult, and/or work with an attorney licensed in your state and/or where you do business prior to purchasing the Templates.
6. ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK
You should use your best judgment in using the information provided in the Templates. Purchase the Templates at your own risk after careful consideration of whether the Templates are best for you and suit your needs.
Itâs your responsibility to discern the risk of purchasing and/or implementing the Templates. By purchasing the Templates, youâre assuming responsibility for your actions, choices, or lack thereof, related to the Templates.
7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP

8. NO SHARING ALLOWED
You cannot distribute, copy, forward, give access to, and/or share the Templates or their content with anyone else other than yourself (the purchaser). Any violations of this policy will be legally pursued to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9. NO CLAIMS MADE REGARDING RESULTS:
Any and all current or past-client testimonials, statements, or examples used by us are simply that: examples. They are not guarantees that you will also experience or receive the same results. Each personâs circumstances are unique and nothing shall be interpreted as a guarantee that you will experience the same results as another client of ours.
We donât make any assurances as to any particular financial-based outcome based on the use of or participation in the Templates. We are not responsible for the success or failure of your business, business decisions, income, sales, or any other result of any kind that you may have as a result of your participation in the Templates.
