Terms of Use

[berrylawpartners.com] (the "Site") is owned and operated by Berry & Partners PLLC ("Berry & Partners," "we," "us," or "our"), a law firm with its office in Reston, Virginia. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to them, please do not use the Site.

Material on the Site is general information. It is not legal advice, and reading it does not make you our client. See the Disclaimers page for details.

Do not send confidential information through the Site or by email unless a lawyer at the firm has asked you to do so. Unsolicited communications are not confidential, are not privileged, do not create a lawyer-client relationship, and do not bind the firm.

We may revise these Terms of Use at any time by posting a revised version on the Site, effective when posted. Your continued use of the Site after we post a revision means you accept the revised Terms, so we suggest checking them periodically. The current version is always available through the "Terms of Use" link in the Site footer. We will flag material revisions at the top of this page for [60] days.

Our Privacy Notice explains how we handle information about you. It is available through the "Privacy Notice" link in the Site footer and is incorporated into these Terms of Use by reference.

"Contents" means everything made available through the Site — text, images, photographs, illustrations, graphics, video and audio, design elements, and the software and code that make the Site run. Berry & Partners and its licensors hold all right, title, and interest in the Contents, including copyright. The Site as a whole is separately protected as a compilation under United States and international copyright law, and Berry & Partners holds the copyright in that compilation, including in the selection, arrangement, and coordination of the Contents.

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to view, download, and print portions of the Contents that you have properly accessed, for your own non-commercial use or for the internal use of the organization on whose behalf you are visiting, provided that you leave all copyright, trademark, and other proprietary notices intact. This license does not permit you to scrape, mine, crawl, or otherwise extract the Contents by automated means; to harvest email addresses or other contact information; or to use the Contents to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop any machine learning or artificial intelligence model. Beyond what these Terms expressly allow, you may not copy, republish, distribute, publicly display or perform, broadcast, or create derivative works from the Contents without our prior written consent, and you may not permit others to do so. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of the Site or the Contents to you.

We may revoke this license at any time, with or without cause and without notice.

BERRY & PARTNERS, the Berry & Partners logo, SIZE STANDARD NAVIGATOR, COUNSEL THAT MOVES AT THE SPEED OF OUR BUSINESS, BUILT DIFFERENTLY, BY DESIGN, BUILT FOR WHAT MATTERS, and the overall look and feel of the Site, including page headers, custom graphics, icons, and scripts, are trademarks, service marks, and trade dress of Berry & Partners. You may not copy, imitate, or use them, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent, and you may not use our name or marks in metatags or other hidden text. Other marks and names appearing on the Site belong to their respective owners; their appearance does not imply that we endorse them or that they endorse us.

Some material on the Site comes from third parties and is offered for your convenience. We do not endorse that material or its providers, and we make no representation that it is accurate, complete, current, or reliable.

We welcome your comments and suggestions about the Site. Please understand that any feedback you send us becomes ours: by submitting it, you assign to Berry & Partners all right, title, and interest in that feedback, including all intellectual property rights, and you agree we may use, adapt, disclose, and build on it for any purpose, without restriction and without compensating you. For that reason, please do not send us anything you are unwilling to give up.

If you register for any part of the Site, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information about yourself and to keep it up to date.

You agree to use the Site lawfully. You agree not to transmit any virus, worm, or other code designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to any system, and not to tamper with the Site, its data, or its availability. We reserve all rights and remedies available to us, including reporting suspected criminal conduct to law enforcement and cooperating with any resulting investigation.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Berry & Partners and its members, managers, employees, agents, contractors, and service providers against any claim, demand, damage, cost, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, any content you submit or transmit through it, your breach of these Terms of Use, or your violation of any third party's rights.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND ALL CONTENTS, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND, AND BERRY & PARTNERS DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.

WITHOUT LIMITING THAT DISCLAIMER, WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR PERFORMANCE; ANY WARRANTY REGARDING THE SECURITY OF THE SITE; ANY WARRANTY THAT THE CONTENTS ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT; AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SITE WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR ERROR.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER BERRY & PARTNERS NOR ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, VENDORS, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE OR ANY CONTENTS, PRODUCTS, OR SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH IT.

THIS LIMITATION COVERS ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES OF EVERY KIND — DIRECT, INDIRECT, GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, AND PUNITIVE, INCLUDING LOST DATA, LOST INCOME, AND LOST PROFITS — WHETHER THE CLAIM SOUNDS IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY OTHER REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

IF ANY PART OF THIS LIMITATION IS HELD INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF BERRY & PARTNERS AND ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WHOSE LIABILITY WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN LIMITED WILL NOT EXCEED $100.00.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Nothing in these Terms of Use limits any liability that cannot be limited as a matter of law, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

We may modify, edit, delete, suspend, or discontinue the Site or any part of it at any time, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice, and we will not be liable to you or anyone else for doing so. Material on the Site may become out of date, and we have no obligation to update it.

You may link to our home page, provided you do so lawfully and fairly, and in a way that neither damages our reputation nor implies any association, sponsorship, approval, or endorsement that does not exist. Please do not deep-link to interior pages, frame the Site within another site, or link from a site you do not own. The linking site must comply with these Terms of Use. We may withdraw permission to link at any time without notice.

The Site may link to sites operated by others. We do not control those sites and do not endorse or accept responsibility for their content, products, services, or privacy practices. Review their terms and policies before you use them. You access them at your own risk.

Interpretation. "Including" means "including, but not limited to."

Waiver. Our failure to insist on performance of any provision, or to exercise any right, is not a waiver of that provision or right. Waivers must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the firm, and no waiver of one breach waives any later or continuing breach.

Termination. We may terminate your license to use the Site and block your access to it at any time, in our sole discretion and without notice.

Severability. If any provision is held unlawful or unenforceable, it will be modified to achieve its purpose to the greatest extent the law allows, and the remaining provisions will stay in force.

Governing Law and Venue. These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use must be brought exclusively in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia, or in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use are the complete agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede all prior communications and understandings about it, whether oral, written, or electronic.
