1. SERVICES; OUR PLATFORM

Subject to your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms and with the applicable payment requirements for the Services, MTD hereby grants you a limited, non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right and license to access and use our Platform, solely in accordance with these Terms. Our Platform is designed to help you and other users to: (i) get matched with attorneys to challenge traffic violation tickets; (ii) quickly and easily connect and communicate with attorneys or law firms who have pre-agreed to a base flat-fee for legal representation (collectively, “attorneys”) to challenge traffic violations tickets, and (iii) payment processing for your MyTicketDefense platform usage fee and the Attorney Service Provider fee (collectively, the “Traffic Services” or the “Services”).

To access our Platform, you will be asked to register and maintain an active user account (your “Account”), which includes, among other things, your credit card information and/or other valid payment method, and those traffic violation number(s) you choose to link to your Account (your “Violation Number(s)”). You hereby acknowledge, understand and agree that your use of our Platform and Services is intended for your personal, non-commercial use, unless otherwise previously authorized by us in writing.

2. DISCLAIMER OF ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

MTD (i) is not a law firm; (ii) does not perform legal services that an attorney performs; and (iii) is not permitted to engage in the practice of law, including without limitation providing any kind of opinion or recommendation about legal rights, defenses or strategies. Any information provided to you is information that has been obtained from attorneys available to assist you and conveyed as general information on how those particular attorneys handle their cases, their particular past results, and anticipated goals to handle your case. You hereby acknowledge, understand and agree that MTD is not, under any circumstances your lawyer or legal representative or counsel in any way.

No attorney-client relationship between MTD and any of its users, including you, is created by using our Platform. All information you provide us, while protected as expressly provided under our Privacy Policy, is not protected by attorney-client privilege nor is it deemed attorney work product. You hereby waive you right to maintain attorney-client communications as privileged and acknowledge that the platform will store your attorneyclient communications. Although MTD does not actively view attorney-client communications, such communications can become visible to MTD during platform updates, software repairs, or other issues involving yours or your attorney’s account that require MTD’s attention.

Any attorney-client relationship formed by you and any Attorney Service Provider (as defined below) pursuant to the Services, including without limitation the Traffic Services, is between you and such Service Provider and not between MTD and you. MTD is designed to facilitate communications between its users and Service Providers but does not endorse any particular attorney or other Service Provider and shall not be held responsible for the quality or accuracy of any legal services provided by any attorney or other Service Provider. If you choose to initiate a relationship with an attorney or other Service Provider via our Platform, you do so at your sole discretion. MTD does not assume, nor will MTD have, any liability or responsibility to you or any other person in connection thereto. Any attorney or other Service Provider retained by you through our Platform can only agree to provide legal representation in connection with the traffic violation ticket(s) specifically provided by you (whether or not via our Platform).

3. USE OF THE TRAFFIC SERVICES

Submitting your Traffic Tickets. We require you submit your Traffic tickets through our Platform unless you are unable to do so and we have provided you with alternate instructions on submitting your traffic tickets or traffic ticket information.

Service Providers. The Traffic Services are made available by MTD Network Attorneys, the Attorney Service Providers. By using the Traffic Services, you authorize our Attorney Service Providers to represent you at the applicable municipal, governmental, or other authority on all matters concerning any Traffic tickets you submitted via our Platform.

MTD Service. Upon submitting your Traffic tickets through our Platform, MTD will begin performing the following services for you: matching you with an attorney in our network, submitting your ticket information to the Attorney Service Provider, assisting you and your Attorney Service Provider to engage in initial communication so the Attorney Service Provider and you can make the decision to either accept or reject your case and/or the attorney-client relationship, initial submission of your information to the Attorney Service Provider so they can perform services for you under the Attorney Representation Agreement, and processing of payments for your MTD usage fee and the Attorney Service Provider fee.

Standstill Provision. Once a Traffic ticket is submitted through our Platform, you hereby expressly, unconditionally and irrevocably agree: (i) not to take any course of action that will directly or indirectly disrupt, intervene, or circumvent our Attorneys Service Providers’ and any efforts on your behalf and (ii) not to take any action related to any of your Traffic tickets for 24 hours if MTD: (1) cannot match you with a network attorney, in which case you need to find your own attorney, or (2) an attorney has declined your case, in which case you need to find your own attorney or choose another attorney on our network.

Communication with Service Provider

MTD and Attorney Service Providers may at time to time process a considerable amount of Traffic tickets through our Platform that are being handled by our Attorney Service Providers at any given time. Responding to individual requests regarding the status and the details of any one specific case is not an obligation of MTD and should rather be directed directly to the Attorney Service Providers. Therefore, MTD may not respond to individual inquiries regarding the details or specifics regarding any particular Traffic ticket, representation, hearings or decisions related thereto, unless it chooses to obtain such updates from the Attorney Service Provider and convey them to you on behalf of the Attorney Service Provider. We recommend all users of our Platform to periodically and independently check to follow up on the status of their pending tickets with the Attorney Service Provider directly if the Attorney Service Provider has not posted an update within the MTD platform.

Accuracy

MTD MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPLETENESS OR ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION OBTAINED USING OUR PLATFORM OR ANY RELATED FEATURES OR SERVICES.

Cancellation Policy. Once you submit a payment to use our Platform, payments made toward MTD fees are non-refundable one (1) hour after your submission. Traffic Services to be provided by your Attorney Service Provider pursuant to the Attorney Services Agreement may be requested to be canceled directly with the Attorney Service Provider. Any refunds or declining of refunds for payments processed to the Attorney Service Provider will be in the sole discretion of the Attorney Service Provider pursuant to the Attorney Services Agreement any other terms or agreement the Attorney Service Provider may require you to agree to. Upon request for cancellation of services, MTD will retain its portion of its fee. If you submit a Traffic ticket in error, please notify our customer support by email as early as possible, but in no case later than one (1) hour after your submission thereof. Your failure to notify us within this timeframe will be deemed acceptance of your usage and access to our proprietary Platform and of your intent to submit your Traffic ticket(s) and utilize MTD and the services of Attorney Service Providers.

4. TRAFFIC SERVICES SUBMISSIONS

Submitting your Traffic Violation Tickets. We require you submit your traffic violation ticket through our Platform as soon after receipt thereof as possible, unless alternate instructions are provided to you by our representatives. Failure to submit traffic violations to our Platform in a timely manner, well in advance of your hearing date, will render you, and not MTD or its Attorney Service Providers, solely responsible for your failure to timely submit your traffic violation ticket. Any other information requested from you by your Attorney Service Provider is your responsibility to provide to your Attorney Service Provider.

5. FEES

General. You hereby agree to maintain a current, valid and accepted method of payment on your Account throughout the term of your use of our Platform. All fees payable by you hereunder are exclusive of applicable taxes and duties. By establishing your Account and using our Platform, you authorize MTD to automatically charge your Account for all applicable charges incurred in connection with the Services. At all times, you remain solely responsible for all charges incurred under your Account.

Traffic Services Payment Collection; MTD Fees; and Service Provider Fees. MTD collects payment for the Traffic Services in accordance with your payment method and payment option (pay in full vs installment plan). MTD’s fee for its platform and network usage (including: promotions, administrative, attorney-network access, attorney-matching, assistance relative to initial evaluation by attorneys for acceptance of your case, submission of your initial contact information to your matched attorney, submission of each of your initial ticket information to your matched attorney, submission of additional ticket information to your matched attorney, and processing of your payments) is a flat-based fee for the processing of your first ticket and may be additional for the processing of each additional ticket. Service Providers in the MTD Attorney Network have pre-agreed to charge you a pre-negotiated affordable flat-fee for a traffic hearing appearance (up to half day maximum) for basic traffic violations as determined by the Attorney Service Providers you are matched with. Your total fee paid on the MTD platform is inclusive of your Attorney Service Provider fee and MTD’s fee. For a breakdown of your fees, you may contact MTD or your Attorney Service Provider for an itemization of your total fee paid. By using our Platform, you also agree to the terms of the Attorney Representation Agreement. The initial portion of fees paid by you are first applied toward MTD platform fees until MTD’s fees are paid in full and then the remaining fees paid by you are applied toward the fee of your Attorney Service Provider. If you do not pay fees to your Attorney Service Provider pursuant to the Attorney Representation Agreement, the Attorney Representation Agreement will not become effective and the Attorney Service Provider will be under no obligation to provide any services or representation to you.

Traffic Services. With respect to the Traffic Services, once an attorney is matched to you from the available participating network attorneys on our Platform, the Attorney Service Provider will review your tickets and information to determine if they accept your case within one (1) business day, you agree to accept representation by the Attorney Service Provider, and you process payment toward your Attorney Representation Agreement after paying MTD service fees in full, then the Attorney Representation Agreement will be in effect with your Attorney Service Provider to effectuate the attorney-client engagement and relationship. This is conditional upon how your payments are processed. For example, if you are on an installment plan to pay your MTD and Attorney Service Provider fees and your first installment has only covered your MTD fee but not the Attorney Service Provider fee, then your attorney-client engagement and relationship has not yet initiated until your installment payments are enough to first cover the MTD fee and then begin covering the Attorney Service Provider fee. For convenience and to save on processing costs, MTD fees and Attorney Service Provider fees are not processed separately and are processed together so processing costs do not have to be passed on to you and MTD assures best efforts to try and save you as much overall cost as possible. The fees you pay through our Platform in connection with the Traffic Services will be processed to your Attorney Service Provider. You understand, acknowledge and agree that once you retain the services of an Attorney Service Provider through our Platform, MTD will process your payment, through the payment method on the Account, for the applicable Attorney Service Provider fee. Although a transaction for the Attorney Service Provider is processed on your behalf through our Platform, MTD is simply an intermediary party in such transaction. MTD has no liability, either primarily or secondarily, for submissions to the Attorney Service Provider or any third party, other than through our Platform on your behalf.

Payment Failure. In the event that MTD is unable to process a payment fee or payment is canceled, MTD shall charge you a Five Dollar ($5.00) service fee per each failed payment attempt. You will also be solely liable for any related “insufficient fund” charges or other penalties which may be imposed by your bank. If we are unable to process payment, any and all Services or usage of our platform and network will immediately cease by MTD unless we notify you otherwise.

6. PROHIBITED USES

Usage of MTD Network and Platform. Attorney Service Providers and Users of the MTD network and platform hereby agree that once the MTD network and platform is used between a particular Attorney Service Provider and a particular User, both parties must continue to indefinitely use the MTD platform for any other services provided or obtained between the particular Attorney Service Provider and that particular User. MTD reserves the right to charge Attorney Service Provider and User its platform fees for any services in the future between the parties which require communication and/or information and/or document submission, which can be performed through MTD’s platform. Attorney Service Provider and User may opt out of using the MTD platform, but if so, both parties are still liable jointly for MTD platform fees, which may vary time-to-time. Any violation of this provision will be subject to an additional penalty of three times (3x) the amount of MTD’s platform fee, in addition to any other damages or remedies available by law.

Effect of Termination. Upon termination: (i) all rights granted to you under these Terms will be terminated; (ii) you must cease all use of our Platform and may not submit new tickets; (iii) you will remain liable for all fees, charges and any other obligations you have incurred through the date of termination with respect to the Services (including in connection with Ongoing Services in accordance with the “Pending Tickets” Section above).

MTD provides a 100% Money-Back Guarantee, which guarantees that MTD will match you with attorneys in our network who have agreed to a base flat-rate to appear and handle your basic traffic hearing (pre-trial conference) up to half day to dispute, resolve, and/or negotiate your traffic violation. Please note some attorneys resolve tickets either in-person, virtually, on directly via out-of-court communication or work. If MTD is unable to match you with an attorney, is unable to match you with an attorney who won’t accept your case, or matches you with an attorney to fails to perform its agreed upon duties of charging you a base flat-rate to handle your basic traffic hearing up to half day (if necessary), appear at your traffic hearing to dispute or negotiate your traffic violations (if necessary), resolve your ticket(s) either out of court in court, then MTD will provide you with a 100% Money-Back Guarantee of the fees you have paid MTD solely for its matching service and portal usage fee. MTD is not responsible for and/or cannot refund you any fees you have paid to your Attorney Service Provider. Those fees must be directly disputed with the Attorney Service Provider. If your attorney cannot dismiss or amend your ticket, reduce points on any point system, obtain you a plea bargain, or put you in a better situation than you are when you first receive your ticket(s) (which is the situation to pay the ticket(s) in full and plead guilty), then you are eligible for a full refund of your MTD platform fees, minus your Attorney Service Provider fee. All MTD Guarantees are applicable only toward pre-trial conference hearings and do not apply to trials, criminal tickets, any commercial drivers, or drivers with a Commercial Driver's License (CDL).
