Terms and Conditions

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

By accessing or using the Backstrom Labor Law website at backstromlaborlaw.com (the “Website”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Website.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Website. Backstrom Labor Law reserves the right to update or revise these Terms at any time without advance notice. Your continued use of the Website after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference and governs how we collect, use, and protect information obtained through the Website.

2. NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

Using this Website, submitting a contact form, sending an email, or calling the Firm does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is established only through a signed written engagement agreement between you and Backstrom Labor Law.

Until a written engagement agreement has been signed, Backstrom Labor Law does not represent you and has no obligation to keep any information you submit confidential under the attorney-client privilege. Do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through the Website contact form or by unsolicited email.

If you have an immediate legal matter with a pending deadline, contact the Firm directly by phone at (619) 851-7274 or (619) 230-1811. California employment law response deadlines are strict. Delays in establishing representation can affect your legal options and available defenses.

3. NO LEGAL ADVICE

The content published on this Website, including practice area descriptions, articles, FAQs, blog posts, case outcome summaries, and any other materials, is provided for general informational purposes only.

Nothing on this Website constitutes legal advice, and nothing on this Website should be relied upon as legal advice for any specific situation. California employment law is fact-specific. The application of any legal principle to your particular circumstances depends on the specific facts involved, the applicable statutes and case law, the agency or court in which a matter is pending, and other factors that cannot be assessed without a direct attorney-client consultation.

Past results described on this Website were achieved in specific prior matters and do not constitute a promise or guarantee of any outcome in any future matter. Every matter is different. Past results in one case do not predict outcomes in another.

Before taking any action in connection with an employment claim, demand letter, agency charge, or lawsuit, consult directly with qualified California employment counsel. Do not rely on general information published on this Website as a substitute for individualized legal advice.

4. PERMITTED USE

You may access and use this Website for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. Permitted uses include reviewing information about the Firm and its services, submitting an inquiry or consultation request, and downloading or printing materials for personal, non-commercial reference.

You agree not to:

  • Use the Website in any manner that violates applicable federal, California, or local law or regulation
  • Transmit any material that is unlawful, harmful, defamatory, obscene, fraudulent, or otherwise objectionable
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Website or any system or network connected to it

  • Transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, spam, or chain letters through the Website

Backstrom Labor Law reserves the right to terminate or restrict your access to the Website at any time, without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or that the Firm determines to be harmful to the Website, its users, or the Firm’s interests.

5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All content on this Website, including but not limited to text, articles, practice area descriptions, attorney profiles, logos, graphics, images, page layouts, and the overall design and compilation of the site, is the property of Backstrom Labor Law or its content licensors and is protected by United States copyright law, California law, and applicable international intellectual property treaties.

6. COMMUNICATIONS AND SUBMISSIONS

When you submit information through the Website contact form or contact the Firm by email, you acknowledge that:

  • The submission does not create an attorney-client relationship, as stated in Section 2
  • The Firm may be unable to accept your matter due to conflicts of interest, capacity constraints, or because the matter falls outside the Firm’s California employer-defense practice
  • The Firm will conduct a conflict-of-interest check before entering into any attorney-client relationship
  • Any general inquiry you submit may be used to respond to your inquiry and to improve the Firm’s services, consistent with the Privacy Policy

7. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND CONTENT

This Website may contain links to third-party websites, including the Firm’s LinkedIn profile, Facebook page, and external legal resources. These links are provided for convenience only.

Backstrom Labor Law does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, terms of service, or accuracy of any third-party website. Linking to a third-party website from this site does not constitute an endorsement of that site or its content.

Your use of any third-party website is governed by that site’s own terms and privacy policy. We recommend reviewing those documents before submitting personal information to any third-party site.

8. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

THIS WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT, INFORMATION, AND MATERIALS ON IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Backstrom Labor Law disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to:

  • Any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement
  • Any warranty that the Website will be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components
  • Any warranty that the information on the Website is current, complete, accurate, or applicable to your specific situation

California employment law changes frequently. The California Legislature enacts new employment statutes every year. Content on this Website reflects information available at the time of publication and may not reflect subsequent legal developments. Always verify current law with qualified counsel.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BACKSTROM LABOR LAW, ITS ATTORNEY, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS WEBSITE OR ITS CONTENT.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory under which damages are sought, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, and even if Backstrom Labor Law has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. In such jurisdictions, the Firm’s liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Specifically, and without limiting the foregoing, the Firm is not liable for any damages arising from your reliance on content published on this Website in place of obtaining individualized legal advice from a California-licensed employment attorney.

10. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Backstrom Labor Law and its attorney, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:

  • Your use of or access to the Website
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any applicable federal, California, or local law or third-party right in connection with your use of the Website
  • Any content you submit, transmit, or make available through the Website

11. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Website will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Diego County, California. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection to the venue in San Diego County.

California law provides certain rights that cannot be waived by contract. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under applicable California consumer protection or privacy statutes.

12. ACCESSIBILITY

Backstrom Labor Law is committed to making this Website accessible to all users. If you experience difficulty accessing any portion of the Website due to a disability or accessibility need, contact us at (619) 851-7274 or (619) 230-1811 and we will work to provide the information or assistance you need through an alternative means.

13. CALIFORNIA STATE BAR COMPLIANCE NOTICE

Backstrom Labor Law is a California law firm. Karin Backstrom is licensed to practice law in the State of California. Nothing on this Website is intended to solicit clients in any jurisdiction where Karin Backstrom is not licensed or authorized to practice law.

In accordance with California State Bar Rule 7.1, nothing on this Website constitutes a warranty, guarantee, or prediction of the outcome of any legal matter. All references to past results describe outcomes in prior, specific matters and are not representations that similar results can or will be obtained in any other matter.

The California State Bar does not certify attorneys as specialists in employment law unless a formal specialty certification has been issued. References to Karin Backstrom’s focus on employer-side employment and labor law describe the scope of her practice, not a State Bar certification.

14. SEVERABILITY AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Backstrom Labor Law with respect to your use of the Website, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings regarding that subject matter.

Any waiver by Backstrom Labor Law of any provision of these Terms in a particular instance does not constitute a waiver of that provision in any other instance, and the Firm may enforce these Terms at any time.

15. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

Backstrom Labor Law may revise these Terms at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting to the Website. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this document reflects when the Terms were most recently revised.

Your continued use of the Website after any revision is posted constitutes your agreement to the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, discontinue use of the Website.

We encourage you to review these Terms periodically, particularly before submitting any inquiry or personal information through the Website.
