You certify that the telephone number(s) you have provided are your own and that you are authorized to consent to receive communications at these numbers. You understand that your telephone service provider’s standard message and data rates may apply to text messages. Message frequency varies.

Content Is Information Only — Not Legal Advice This website and its content, including any articles, blog posts, frequently asked questions (“FAQs”), and other materials (collectively, “Content”), are for general information and educational purposes only. The Content does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied on as such. The law is complex, changes frequently, and its application depends on the specific facts of a given situation. Laws vary by state and your individual situation. You should speak with a licensed attorney admitted to practice in your jurisdiction for advice regarding your individual circumstances before taking any action or refraining from any action. Viewing this site or contacting us through it does not create an attorney-client relationship. 

No Attorney–Client Relationship Through the Site Contacting GCL by email, phone, through any online resource, or any form on this website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we have conducted a conflict check, expressly agreed to represent you, and you have executed a written engagement agreement with us. Please do not send any confidential or sensitive information to us until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established through such a written agreement. Any information, documents, or materials sent to us prior to the establishment of a formal attorney-client relationship will not be treated as confidential or privileged. Please note that legal claims are subject to strict deadlines known as statutes of limitations. Submitting a contact form to us does not toll, stop, or extend any legal deadlines. If your matter is urgent, please contact an attorney immediately.

Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. 

You and GCL agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or these Terms (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. 

You agree to waive your right to a jury trial and to have any Dispute resolved in court. You also agree to waive your right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and GCL otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. 

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect. 

Governing Law, Venue, and Severability These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. For any claims or disputes not subject to the arbitration provisions set forth above, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within [Insert County, e.g., Los Angeles County], California. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
