Terms of Use

These terms explain the ground rules for using this website and what its content is, and is not. Please read them before relying on information here or sending us a message.

Effective date: June 3, 2025

Read our Privacy Policy

Use of This Website

This website is operated by Potter Accord. You may read and use its general information for personal or internal business purposes. These terms apply when you access or use the site.

Please use the site lawfully. You may not interfere with its operation, try to gain unauthorized access, send harmful code, or use automated tools to scrape or copy site content at scale.

If you submit an inquiry, provide information you believe is accurate and avoid including sensitive details. We may restrict access when we reasonably believe a person is misusing the site.

Use it with care.

02 / Important distinction

Information, Not Legal Advice

The site shares general information about contracts and related topics. It does not account for the facts, goals, or legal position of any particular person or business, and it is not a substitute for advice about your circumstances.

Reading this site or submitting a contact form does not create an attorney-client relationship with Potter Accord. No engagement begins unless both sides enter into a written agreement.

Get advice tailored to your situation before acting. Contact us to ask about discussing your needs.

A message alone does not establish representation.

03 / Before we work together

Consultations and Communications

An inquiry is a first contact, not an agreement to provide legal services. We review messages during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Response times vary with the volume and nature of inquiries.

Information you send before an engagement may not be confidential. Keep your first message brief and do not include sensitive documents or details until we confirm how to proceed.

For a time-sensitive matter, call +1 (828) 608-9213. A call does not guarantee a particular response time.

04 / Site materials

Intellectual Property and Third-Party Resources

Unless a page says otherwise, the site's original text, design, layout, and branding belong to Potter Accord or are used with permission. These materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may view the materials for personal or internal business reference. Do not reproduce, publish, adapt, or reuse them commercially without written permission.

We may link to websites run by other parties for convenience. We do not control those sites or take responsibility for their content, policies, or availability. A link does not mean we endorse the linked material.

05 / Legal terms

Limitation of Liability and Governing Law

The website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, Potter Accord disclaims warranties relating to the site and is not liable for losses arising from your use of, or reliance on, its general content.

Nothing in these terms limits liability where applicable law does not allow that limitation. You are responsible for deciding whether information on this site fits your needs.

California law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes concerning the site or these terms are subject to the courts located in Alameda County, California, unless applicable law requires another venue.

If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply. We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
