- OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
Student Legal Forms serves as a resource to its end users like you by offering the ability to prepare your own documentation that may be needed to facilitate the sharing of information in the event of an emergency. Student Legal Forms’ Platform gives you the ability to generate critical documentation, such as a durable financial power of attorney or a durable medical power of attorney after inputting user-specific information, which can then be downloaded and stored securely by you. It is important to note that many of these types of documents have state-specific requirements which, if lacking in any respect, may result in the documents not being accepted by or enforceable against providers of information, such as doctors, clinics, hospitals or pharmacies. However, your use of the products and services provided by Student Legal Forms should not be a substitute for legal advice and guidance – neither of which Student Legal Forms is offering, directly or indirectly, through its products and/or services. Your use of Student Legal Forms’ Platform does not create an attorney-client relationship. Instead, you are representing yourself when utilizing the Platform for legal purposes. By using Student Legal Forms’ Platform, you acknowledge and understand that your use of our forms is neither legal advice nor the practice of law, and that these forms are not customized for your particular needs.
While Student Legal Forms strives to keep its Platform, as well as its products and services, compliant with any and all applicable laws, Student Legal Forms cannot guarantee that any particular product or service complies with the law because changes to laws do occur from time to time. If you have paid any and all applicable fees and charges to Student Legal Forms to use Student Legal Forms’ Platform and discover that any documentation you had generated through the Platform is not compliant with applicable law, please see the Refund Policy section of these Terms below.
- INFORMATION.
At certain points in using the Platform, you will be asked to provide information to us. We may collect two types of information from you, personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable. The security of your personally identifiable information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect any such information provided to us. The terms of our Privacy Policy are available on our website and are incorporated herein by this reference.
The minimal personally identifiable information we collect includes the name and address of the principal and agent. Your credit card payment information is obtained through a third party paying agent of Student Legal Forms known as Stripe; Student Legal Forms neither receives nor retains any of your payment information. For certain products, you may need to provide other non-personally identifiable information such as gender. You can decline to submit personal information for any of our products and/or services, in which case Student Legal Forms may not be able to provide those products and/or services to you. It is anticipated that information that you provide when utilizing the Student Legal Forms Platform will remain available to you on your local computer for up to 24 hours.
