Privacy Policy

Introduction

1. By using and/or visiting https://atlinjurylawgroup.com/, or any Content, Websites or Information uploaded/controlled by Atlanta Personal Injury Law Group – Gore LLC (the “Practice”) including but not limited to submitting, accessing and/or viewing any and all content available through and/or at the site located at https://atlinjurylawgroup.com/ and any of our subdomains thereof, and any mobile applications, RSS feeds, syndicated feeds, curated content, digital and print collections, audio recordings, blogs, vlogs, podcasts, social media accounts including those hosted on third party platforms and/or resources owned, controlled or created by or for our Practice or its designees, you signify your agreement to (1) these terms and conditions (the "Terms of Use") and (2) the terms and conditions of third party sites/hosts/subprocessors used by our Practice (collectively, your "Agreement"). If you (the “User”) do not agree to any of these terms, the Practice privacy notice, or the Community Guidelines, please do not use the Content to share, read, recommend, or comment on content hosted by or for our Practice.
2. Our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it and who we share it with; your use of our Practice is governed by that site’s Terms and Policy. We do not sell the data that you post on, submit to or share on the Website to third parties; we do not include or accept paid advertisements from third parties that include tracking elements or that collect data on or from our Content users.
3. We strive to make our Practice's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy readable. We have tried to provide explanations for the more unusual legal terms. If you have terminology questions not covered here, Law.com's glossary may help, though we cannot vouch for the accuracy of outside sources, including those referenced in the ToS.

General Principles

The ToS constitute the entire agreement between you and our Practice, and govern your use of the Practice on the web, via any domain name, or via an app. It takes the place of all prior agreements between you and our Practice.

These Terms of Service control the relationship between you -- an individual accessing our Information and Website -- and Practice, and all disputes arising out of or related to it, shall be governed by the laws of the United States and specifically the Georgia state, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

You and the Practice agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the Georgia, and to waive any objection to the laying of venue there.

Our Practice's failure to enforce any part of the ToS will not waive our Practice's ability to enforce it, and any waiver with regard to a specific instance shall not constitute a waiver of any other breaches of the ToS, even with regard to the same user.

If any provision of the ToS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, you agree that the court should give effect to the party's intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of the ToS remain in full force and effect.

You agree that, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Content or the ToS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

You agree to the Terms of Use

1. By accessing our Websites and/or Information, or emailing any address hosted by any domain we own and/or control ("Content") you affirm, confirm and state that you comply with and assent to the ToS, which incorporates the Practice Privacy Policy.
2. We may update the ToS as necessary. Although we may attempt to notify site users when major changes are made to these Terms of Use, you should periodically review the most up-to-date version. Our Practice may, in its sole discretion, modify or revise these Terms of Use and policies at any time, and you agree to be bound by such modifications or revisions by your continued use of the Website or correspondence with the Practice.

Subject to amendments of the update process by the Practice, this is the only means by which the Terms of Use may be altered. The Terms of Use cannot be changed by, e.g., emails, Tweets, or oral communications with you. If you are a current client of the Practice, these Terms may be amended by written agreement with you, when signed by both parties.

As-Is/As Available

1. Our Practice provides Content on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Our Practice does not warrant (that is, does not make a legally binding promise) that our Content will meet your requirements; that our Content will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; or that the results you get from using the Content will be accurate, reliable, or satisfactory to you. We will endeavor to provide the best possible service to accessing information about the Practice, but many things (e.g., possible outages, hackings, etc.) are not within our control and we cannot provide for all eventualities. In the event we learn of a breach of Personal Data that is under or within our control, we will notify affected individuals as soon as practicable.
2. Please notify info@atlinjurylawgroup.com of any known or suspected breach of security that impacts your access to our Practice; if you access our Practice via a mobile device, we recommend that said device be password-protected to prevent unauthorized access of your data.
3. Content may not be downloaded, copied, modified, produced, reproduced, distributed, transmitted, broadcast, displayed, sold, licensed, translated, published, performed or otherwise exploited for any other purposes whatsoever without Our prior written consent.
4. The content on the Content, including without limitation, the text, software, scripts, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, interactive features and the like ("Content") and the trademarks, service marks and logos contained therein ("Marks"), that are owned by or licensed to our Practice, are subject to copyright and other intellectual property rights under the law.
5. Any material you download, view, or otherwise access through the Website is at your own risk. You will be solely responsible for any damage or loss of data that results from the download of any such material.
6. We expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. The ToS govern your use of the Website, and therefore no communication from anyone associated with our Practice will create any warranty that isn't expressly stated in the ToS.
7. You expressly agree that our Practice shall not be liable to you for any damages of any kind (even if our Practice has been advised of the possibility of such damages) resulting from the Website, including but not limited to your use of or inability to use the Website; unauthorized access to or changes in Content or information you submit; and the acts and statements of third parties who use the Website.
8. You agree that our Practice shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of or limitation on your access to our Practice. Our Practice may change, end, or put on hiatus the Website, or parts of its Content, at any time.

Conduct that threatens the technical integrity of the Content, e.g. attempts to hack the Website or spread viruses through it, will result in an immediate report of such actions to appropriate law enforcement entities.

EU Residents

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please use the Contact Form to make a request.

DMCA POLICY

If you believe that your content has been reproduced in whole or in part, without transformative use (transformative use is defined by our Practice as adding something new, with a further purpose or different character, altering the source with new expression, meaning, or message), please follow our procedures for reporting copyright infringement.

The report must be submitted via email and must clearly and specifically indicate the exact location (URL), nature, and extent of each instance of allegedly infringing content, as well as the exact copyrighted material that is being infringed, as well as full and complete contact information for the copyright holder and/or an authorized agent.

To file a copyright infringement notification with us, you will need to send a communication to us with all of the following information in it, using this format:

Include a statement telling us that you have found Content on our Practice which you believe infringes your copyright (for example, "I hereby confirm that I believe the article identified below infringes my copyright").

1. Tell us which country your copyright applies to.
2. Tell us the title of the content concerned and the full URL for its page.
3. Explain to us in what way that content infringes your copyright (e.g. the text is copied, the entire article is a copy of an original work made by you, etc.)
4. Identify the type (e.g. a book, a short article, a poem, etc.). and details of (e.g. title, publisher, dates, etc.) the copyright work which you own the rights in, and which you believe has been infringed. If this information is available on the internet, it is helpful to send us a link.
5. Let us have contact information so that we can get in touch with you (email address is preferred).
6. Let us have the contact information which we can pass on to the submitter of the content concerned, so that they can get in touch with you to resolve your complaint directly (email address is preferred).
7. Include the following statement: "I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted work described above is not authorized by the copyright owner (or by a third party who is legally entitled to do so on behalf of the copyright owner) and is not otherwise permitted by law. I swear that the information contained in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner (or legal representative thereof) or otherwise have an exclusive right in law to bring infringement proceedings with respect to its use."

Subject: Our Practice Copyright Infringement Notification

Email: info@atlinjurylawgroup.com

Our DMCA Agent is Jennifer Gore-Cuthbert - 5755 North Point Pkwy #246 Alpharetta, GA 30022

Please also note that the information provided in this legal notice may be forwarded to the person who provided the allegedly infringing content and any other party designated by our Practice.

Before submitting a report of infringement to our Practice, be sure you know whether the content that you have seen on our Practice infringes your copyright. Be aware that there may be adverse legal consequences in your country if you make a false or bad faith allegation of copyright infringement by using this process and remember that most countries’ copyright law does not give one person ownership of an idea, but ownership of the specific words or image used to express that idea.

Content Age Policy

This Age Policy covers the Content's treatment of users (a) who are residents or citizens of the European Union and of the age where consent of a parent or legal guardian is required for the processing of personal data of children including email addresses and IP addresses, as well as certain uses of cookies; and (b) who are under the age of thirteen (13) and residents or citizens of any other country.

In compliance with United States regulations regarding online privacy for children, the Content does not knowingly solicit or collect information from children under the age of thirteen (13). Children under the age of thirteen (13) are therefore not permitted to have an account or upload Content of any type to the Content. By submitting data and/or content to the Practice, you thereby confirm that you are thirteen (13) years old or older, and of the age to legally grant consent to have us use, process and retain your Personal Data as well as Special Categories of Personal Information in the country where you reside and/or are a citizen.

Asking a parent or legal guardian to upload Content does not constitute submitting Content under this policy. If you are under the age of thirteen (13) and not an Age-Barred Individual (as defined below), your parent or legal guardian may upload your Content through their account.

We as an organization have opted to protect teen users’ privacy. As a result, we cannot receive or host Content from individuals that we know are under the age of sixteen and residents/citizens of the European Union, unless they are residents/citizens of the EU countries that allow the collection of Special Categories of Personal Data from those at a younger age (“Age-Barred Individuals”). Age-Barred Individuals may not maintain accounts or submit Content.
