Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Real Ryan Nichols LLC website, digital products, and services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Not a Law Firm. Not an Attorney.

Real Ryan Nichols LLC is not a law firm. Ryan Nichols is not an attorney and does not provide legal advice or legal representation. Nothing on this site, in any digital product, or in any communication with us constitutes legal advice or creates an attorney-client relationship.

Our Services consist of: document review, evidence organization, written plans of action, investigative strategy, public-records request preparation, content drafting, and related consulting. We do not draft legal pleadings for filing on your behalf, appear in court, negotiate with opposing parties, or represent you in any forum. If you need legal representation, hire a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract to use the Services. By submitting information, you represent that this is true.

3. Intake, Tips, and Submitted Information

Information you submit (including names, documents, photos, and other content) becomes part of our records. We treat it as confidential per our Privacy Policy.

You represent that you have the right to share any information or documents you submit, and that doing so does not violate any law, contract, or court order. Do not submit materials that are subject to a sealing order, protective order, or grand jury secrecy obligation.

4. Purchases, Pricing, and Refunds

Prices are listed in US dollars. Payment is processed by Stripe. By submitting payment you authorize us to charge the listed amount.

Digital products and instant-delivery tools (priced under $25) are delivered immediately by email and are non-refundable once delivered, except where required by law. If a delivery fails, contact us and we will resend or refund.

Custom services (case review, evidence organization packs, audits, buildouts) are eligible for refund at our discretion if work has not yet substantially begun. Once work has begun, refunds are pro-rated based on time invested.

Donations are non-refundable and do not entitle you to any service or priority.

5. Priority Access

Paid services place you in our priority queue with focused attention from Ryan. Free submissions and tips are reviewed in the order received and as time allows. Donations support the mission but do not move you up the queue.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Submit knowingly false, defamatory, or fabricated information.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site or any account.
• Use the Services to harass, threaten, or stalk any person.
• Violate any applicable law, court order, or third-party right.
• Resell, repackage, or republish our content without written permission.

7. Intellectual Property

All site content, written products, templates, frameworks, and materials we create are our intellectual property unless otherwise noted. When you purchase a digital product, you receive a personal, non-transferable license to use it for your own matter. You may not redistribute or resell it.

You retain ownership of your own submitted documents and information. By submitting them, you grant us a limited license to store, review, and use them solely to provide the Services to you.

8. No Guarantees

We do not guarantee any outcome of your case, investigation, complaint, public records request, or other matter. Our work is informational and organizational. Outcomes depend on facts, jurisdiction, opposing parties, courts, agencies, and many factors outside our control.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Services is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or $100, whichever is greater. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or lost business opportunities.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Real Ryan Nichols LLC, its members, employees, contractors, and affiliates from any claim or demand arising out of (a) your use of the Services, (b) your submitted information, or (c) your violation of these Terms.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, in Missouri or remotely. You waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in any class action. Either party may bring small-claims actions in their local small-claims court instead of arbitration.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without cause. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, dispute resolution, indemnification) will survive.

14. Changes

We may update these Terms. The "Last updated" date will reflect any change. Material changes will be flagged on the site. Continued use after a change means acceptance.
