IT TAKES CHANGE,
TO MAKE CHANGE.

1. VelocityJustice.com, VelocityJustice.ai, and NextMassTorts.com and its "Next Mass Tort" product is Not a Law Firm and Does Not Practice Law

We are a business entity providing research, analysis, and informational services. We are NOT a law firm. We do not offer legal representation, legal advice, or any services that constitute the "practice of law" as defined under New Jersey law or any other jurisdiction. The practice of law generally involves applying legal principles and judgment to the specific circumstances of a client, requiring the knowledge, skill, training, and ability of a licensed attorney acting in that capacity. Our Services are intentionally designed not to meet this definition, thereby operating outside the scope of activities regulated as the unauthorized practice of law (UPL).

2. Services Provided for Informational Purposes Only; No Legal Advice

The information, data, analyses, reports, and "case ideas" provided through our Site and Services are intended solely for general informational, research, and conceptual purposes for legal professionals. This information does NOT constitute legal advice. You should not interpret any information provided by Us as a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney familiar with the specific facts and legal issues of a potential matter. We do not provide recommendations on specific courses of legal action, predict legal outcomes, or analyze the law as it applies to any specific factual situation or potential client.

3. No Attorney-Client Relationship Created

Your use of this Site, communication with US, or purchase/use of our Services does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you or your firm and Us or any individual associated with Us. Information exchanged is not protected by attorney-client privilege.

4. Nature of "Case Ideas" and Services

Our Services involve identifying potential areas, trends, factual patterns, or emerging issues that may warrant further investigation by law firms regarding potential mass tort litigation. These "case ideas" are conceptual starting points based on research and analysis of publicly available information, scientific literature, market data, and other sources that are processed and analyzed through proprietary, patent-pending means. They are not fully developed legal strategies, pre-drafted complaints, or assessments of legal merit for any specific potential claim or claimant.

5. Independent Legal Judgment and Due Diligence Required

Our Services are intended for use by sophisticated consumers – namely, law firms and licensed legal professionals. You and your firm are solely responsible for exercising independent legal judgment and conducting your own thorough investigation, legal research, factual verification, and due diligence before deciding whether to pursue any matter related to information obtained from Next Mass Torts. You must independently assess the legal and factual merits, potential challenges, ethical implications, and viability of any potential litigation. Reliance on our information without independent verification and analysis is solely at your own risk.

6. Compliance with Rules of Professional Conduct (RPCs)

We operate with the intention to respect and comply with the ethical obligations applicable under all applicable Rules of Professional Conduct, particularly as they relate to interactions between attorneys, law firms, and related service providers. Specifically:

RPC 5.4(a) (Fee Sharing with Non-Lawyers):

This rule generally prohibits lawyers from sharing legal fees with non-lawyers. We are structured to comply with this rule. Our fees are charged for the provision of our informational Services ("case ideas" and related research/analysis) only. Fees are fixed or based on the scope of the informational product provided and are not structured as a percentage or share of any legal fees the purchasing law firm may subsequently generate from any matter arising from our Services. We do not seek or accept payment contingent upon case outcomes or legal fee generation.

RPC 7.2(c) & 7.3(d) (Payments for Recommendations/Referrals):

These rules generally prohibit lawyers from paying impermissible referral fees or giving things of value for recommendations leading to employment. We operate to comply with these rules. We provide informational products ("case ideas"), not client referrals or recommendations for employment in specific cases. Our Services do not involve identifying, screening, or directing potential clients to law firms. The fees paid to Us are for the informational product itself, representing the value of the research and analysis provided, not for the referral of a client or case.

RPC 5.5(a) (Assisting Unauthorized Practice of Law):

This rule prohibits a lawyer from assisting a non-lawyer in the unauthorized practice of law. We have designed our Services to fall outside the definition of "practice of law." We provide research and analysis on potential mass tort trends and opportunities. We do not draft legal documents for specific clients, provide legal advice tailored to specific cases, or represent clients in legal proceedings. Our "case ideas" are starting points for attorney investigation, not finished legal work product.

RPC 5.7 (Responsibilities Regarding Law-Related Services):

This rule addresses situations where lawyers provide "law-related services" (services reasonably performed in conjunction with legal services but not prohibited as UPL when done by non-lawyers). While our Services are law-related in subject matter, We take reasonable measures, including through this comprehensive Disclaimer and Terms of Use, to assure that recipients of our Services understand that the Services are not legal services and that the protections of the client-lawyer relationship (such as privilege and conflict rules) do not exist in their interactions with Us.

7. No Guarantees or Warranties Regarding Information or Outcomes

We make no representations, guarantees, or warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, viability, or suitability of any information or "case idea" provided. We do not guarantee that any "case idea" will lead to a successful legal claim, client retention, or any particular litigation outcome. The legal landscape, scientific understanding, and factual circumstances can change rapidly.

8. Not Client Solicitation

We do not engage in client solicitation or advertising directed at the general public seeking legal representation. Our Services are marketed to law firms as informational and research support.

9. Limitation of Liability

We shall not be liable for any damages (direct, indirect, consequential, or otherwise) arising from your use of, or reliance upon, the Site or our Services.

10. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

11. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these disclaimers and terms at any time. Your continued use of the Site or Services after any modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
