Disclaimer

1.The Materials Are Not Legal Advice

MHR Products is not a law firm. We do not practice law, we do not provide legal services, and we do not offer legal representation of any kind. Nothing on the Site, in our Materials, in our newsletters, or in any communication from MHR Products constitutes legal advice. The Materials are general informational and educational resources only.

No Attorney-Client Relationship. Your purchase of a subscription, your use of the Materials, your communication with MHR Products by email or through the Site, and any other interaction with us does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and MHR Products or any of its officers, members, employees, contractors, or affiliates. No information you transmit to us is protected by attorney-client privilege or the work-product doctrine.

No Substitute for Counsel. The Materials are not a substitute for the advice of a licensed attorney, certified human resources professional, certified public accountant, or other qualified professional. You should consult with a licensed California attorney (or an attorney licensed in your relevant jurisdiction) and any other appropriate professionals regarding your specific legal, employment, regulatory, and business circumstances before relying on, customizing, distributing, or otherwise using any Material.

2.The Materials Are Not HR, Tax, Financial, or Other Professional Advice

In addition to not constituting legal advice, the Materials are not, and should not be relied upon as:

• Human resources advice or consulting;
• Tax advice or accounting services;
• Financial, investment, or business strategy advice;
• Compliance certification or audit services;
• Workplace safety, OSHA, or industry-specific regulatory advice;
• Immigration, visa, or work-authorization advice; or
• Medical, mental health, or accommodation-related advice.

MHR Products does not employ licensed attorneys, certified HR professionals, CPAs, or other regulated professionals to provide advice through the Materials. Where the Materials reference legal, regulatory, or compliance topics, they do so for general educational purposes only.

3.Templates Are Generalized and Require Customization

Generic Starting Points. The HR document templates we offer (the "Templates") are generalized starting points designed to reflect commonly applicable legal and regulatory requirements at the time of delivery, based on the jurisdictional and employee-scale information you provide at purchase. The Templates are not tailored to the specific facts, circumstances, industry, workforce composition, collective bargaining obligations, or risk profile of your business.

Customization Required. You are solely and exclusively responsible for: (a) reviewing each Template in full before any use; (b) customizing each Template to fit your specific business, industry, workforce, and operational circumstances; (c) confirming that the Template is accurate, complete, and lawful as customized; (d) ensuring the Template complies with all applicable federal, state, county, and local laws, regulations, ordinances, executive orders, and binding agency guidance in effect at the time of use; and (e) having the customized Template reviewed by a licensed attorney before signing, distributing, or relying on it.

No Warranty of Fitness. We make no representation or warranty that any Template is appropriate for, complete for, or compliant with the requirements of your specific business or any specific factual scenario.

4.Laws Change — You Are Responsible for Current Compliance

Constantly Evolving Legal Landscape. California employment law and federal employment law change frequently and without notice. Statutes, regulations, agency guidance, executive orders, court decisions, and local ordinances (including, without limitation, those concerning the Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA"), wage and hour rules, paid sick leave, family and medical leave, minimum wage, predictive scheduling, anti-discrimination protections, workplace safety, arbitration agreements, and independent contractor classification) may change at any time and may render a previously compliant document non-compliant.

No Guarantee of Currency or Accuracy. Although we strive to update our Materials to reflect significant legislative and regulatory changes for paying subscribers, we do not warrant that any Material is current, accurate, complete, or free from error at the time of your use. Update timing, scope, and coverage are subject to change. The newsletter and update services are provided on a best-efforts basis and do not constitute a binding service-level commitment unless expressly stated otherwise in a written agreement signed by us.

Your Independent Verification Obligation. You are solely responsible for confirming that any Material reflects current law as of the date of your use, in your specific jurisdiction, and as applied to your specific circumstances. You must independently verify all legal, regulatory, and compliance information with primary sources or with a licensed attorney before relying on it.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or damages, so some of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by applicable law. In such jurisdictions, the MHR Parties' liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

7.Indemnification by You

Your Defense Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the MHR Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of defense) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use, customization, implementation, or distribution of any Material; (b) any employment, contractor, regulatory, or third-party claim brought against you that arises in whole or in part from any Material; (c) your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right; (d) your breach of this Disclaimer, the Terms of Service, or any other agreement with MHR Products; and (e) any inaccurate or incomplete information you provided to us at signup or thereafter.

MHR Products reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim. You agree not to settle any claim subject to indemnification without our prior written consent.

8.Third-Party References, Examples, and External Resources

The Materials may include references, examples, illustrations, citations to statutes or regulations, summaries of agency guidance, hypothetical scenarios, or links to third-party websites or resources. Such references and links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only. We do not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or current validity of any third-party content, guidance, or resource. Statutory and regulatory citations may become outdated, and you must independently verify any cited authority directly with the issuing source before relying on it.

9.Jurisdictional Scope and Applicability

The Materials are designed primarily for use by businesses operating in the State of California, United States. The Materials may not be appropriate, accurate, or compliant for use in any other jurisdiction. We make no representation or warranty regarding the suitability, lawfulness, or compliance of the Materials with the laws of any jurisdiction outside California. If you operate in any jurisdiction other than California, or if you employ workers in any jurisdiction other than California, you should not rely on the Materials without first consulting a licensed attorney in each applicable jurisdiction.

The Services are not directed to, and the Materials should not be used by, individuals or businesses outside the United States.

10.Forward-Looking and Predictive Content

The Materials may include forward-looking statements regarding pending legislation, anticipated regulatory developments, or predicted compliance trends. Forward-looking content reflects our good-faith opinion at the time of preparation and is inherently uncertain. Actual legal, regulatory, and judicial outcomes may differ materially. You should not rely on forward-looking content as a basis for any business or legal decision without independent verification and the advice of qualified counsel.

11.No Guarantee of Outcomes

MHR Products makes no guarantee, warranty, or representation that use of the Materials will: (a) prevent any lawsuit, charge, complaint, audit, investigation, or enforcement action; (b) result in any favorable outcome in any administrative or judicial proceeding; (c) reduce or eliminate any specific business risk or liability; (d) achieve compliance with any specific law, regulation, or industry standard; or (e) produce any particular financial, operational, or human resources result. Any examples, case studies, or testimonials reflect specific situations and are not a guarantee, prediction, or representation of results you may achieve.

12.Acknowledgment of Risk Allocation

You acknowledge and agree that: (a) the disclaimers, warranty exclusions, and limitations of liability set forth in this Disclaimer are a material inducement to MHR Products' willingness to make the Materials available to you at the prices charged; (b) MHR Products would not make the Materials available to you without these allocations of risk; (c) the prices charged for the Materials reflect this allocation of risk; and (d) the disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations are reasonable and form an essential basis of the bargain between you and MHR Products.

13.Severability and Survival

If any provision of this Disclaimer is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The provisions of this Disclaimer shall survive termination, cancellation, or expiration of your subscription or any other agreement with MHR Products and shall continue to apply to your use of any Material obtained during the term of your subscription.

14.Relationship to Other Agreements

This Disclaimer supplements and is incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Disclaimer and the Terms of Service regarding disclaimers, warranty exclusions, or limitations of liability, the provision most protective of MHR Products shall apply, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Disclaimer have the meanings given to them in the Terms of Service.
