No Legal Advice Disclaimer

There is an important and legally meaningful distinction between legal information and legal advice:

• Legal Information is general educational content about laws, processes, and legal concepts. It is not tailored to your specific situation and is not a substitute for professional legal counsel.
• Legal Advice involves applying legal principles to your specific facts and circumstances, rendered by a licensed attorney who has agreed to represent you.

Business Hero provides legal information and access to independent attorneys. It does not provide legal advice through its platform, staff, automated systems, or informational content — regardless of how specific that content may appear.

The following Platform features and communications do not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such:

• Automated intake forms, prompts, and suggested answers
• AI-generated document summaries, issue spotters, or draft language
• Template documents, legal guides, and educational articles
• Status updates, notifications, and admin communications from Business Hero staff
• Live chat or email responses from Business Hero support personnel
• Consultation scheduling confirmations
• Any information provided before an attorney has formally accepted your engagement

Attorney-client privilege is a legal protection that shields certain communications between an attorney and their client from compelled disclosure. On this Platform, privilege may apply only after:

• A licensed attorney has agreed to represent you in a specific legal matter
• An engagement letter has been executed or equivalent written confirmation has been provided
• A conflict-of-interest check has been cleared by the assigned attorney

Communications submitted through intake forms, general messaging, or document uploads before these conditions are met are not privileged. They may be accessible to Business Hero staff for operational purposes and could potentially be disclosed pursuant to legal process.

You should exercise caution about the sensitivity of information you share on the Platform before an engagement is formally established.

This Platform is not appropriate as your sole legal resource if you face an urgent matter with imminent deadlines, including:

• Court hearings, filing deadlines, or statute of limitations issues
• Active law enforcement contact, arrest, or criminal proceedings
• Immediate risk of injunctive action or asset freezing
• Domestic violence or emergency protective order situations

If you face an urgent legal matter, contact a licensed attorney directly or reach out to your local bar association's lawyer referral service immediately. Do not rely on this Platform for emergency legal assistance.

Laws vary significantly by state, county, and municipality. Information provided through the Platform may not reflect the laws of your specific jurisdiction. No attorney-client relationship with an attorney admitted in your jurisdiction is guaranteed simply by using the Platform.

Always confirm that any attorney advising you on your matter is admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction.

You acknowledge that any action you take based on information obtained through this Platform — without first consulting with a licensed attorney who has accepted your engagement — is taken at your own risk. Business Hero is not liable for any decisions made in reliance on Platform content prior to the establishment of a formal attorney-client relationship.

If you are uncertain whether an attorney-client relationship has been established, or have questions about the scope of services you have received, contact info@mybusiness-hero.com.
