Plainly Legal™ Software Subscription Agreement

Effective as of June 17, 2024

​The following Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between you (“You” or “the User”) and Your Online Genius LLC (“Company”, “we”, or “us”) (the User and the Company are collectively the “Parties”). 

THIS SOFTWARE IS OFFERED PURSUANT TO TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE § 81.101, WHICH EXPRESSLY PROVIDES THAT THE DESIGN, CREATION, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION, DISPLAY, OR SALE OF SOFTWARE WILL NOT CONSTITUTE THE “PRACTICE OF LAW” UNDER TEXAS LAW. PLAINLY LEGAL™ IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE ADVICE OF A LICENSED ATTORNEY. YOUR ONLINE GENIUS LLC IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND CANNOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE. USING PLAINLY LEGAL™ DOES NOT CREATE AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR ONLINE GENIUS LLC. 

THE SOFTWARE

The Company has created a product called Plainly Legal™ (“the Software”). The Software operates as a software as a service (“SaaS”) product, which registered users access via the internet. 

The Software shall collectively include the computer programs in object code form and any updates, enhancements, modifications, revisions, additions, replacements, or conversions thereof and the object code installed by the Company on cloud servers (collectively, the “Programs”), and any related documentation (the “Documentation”).

The Software provides online business owners with do-it-yourself legal solutions. The features available in the Software will change over time, and the features that any particular user may access will be defined by their subscription level. 

INCORPORATION OF OTHER AGREEMENTS

The Plainly Legal™ Privacy Policy and Plainly Legal™ Software Terms of Use are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Except as modified by this Agreement, each of those agreements and policies shall apply fully to You. 

As a condition of this Agreement, You agree to be bound by the Plainly Legal™ Privacy Policy and the Plainly Legal™ Software Terms of Use, including any changes that the Company makes to those policies after your purchase date. 

SUBSCRIPTION TERM & RENEWAL

At checkout, you may choose between three plans, each of which is an annual plan. The three plans, with their current price, are:

• Starter Plan ($400 per year) - This plan entitles users to unlimited use of the Legal Task Manager and the ability to create 4 legal agreements during their subscription period without additional charges.
  
• Growth Plan ($800 per year) - This plan entitles users to unlimited use of the Legal Task Manager and the ability to create 10 legal agreements during their subscription period without additional charges.
  
• Business Plan ($1,200 per year) - This plan entitles users to unlimited use of the Legal Task Manager and unlimited use of the Legal Document Generator (i.e., the ability to create unlimited legal agreements) during their subscription period without additional charges. 

You shall make an initial annual payment according to the plan you choose (the “Annual Rate”). Your subscription shall automatically renew annually at the prevailing price for that plan at the time of renewal. For the sake of clarity, if the Company raises its subscription prices, you will automatically be charged that higher rate for any future payments. 

If, at any time, the Company discontinues the plan that you chose for your subscription level, your subscription will continue to renew automatically each year at the last Annual Rate applicable to the plan. 

CANCELLATION

The Software is offered on an ongoing basis as part of Your subscription. You may cancel Your subscription at any time by following the instructions inside the Software or by emailing support@plainlylegal.com.

Your subscription shall continue until the end of the existing subscription period and shall terminate at the completion of that period. You shall not be charged after a cancellation.

NO REFUNDS

All sales are final, and the Company does not offer any money-back guarantees. You recognize and agree that you shall not be entitled to a refund for any purchase under any circumstances.

To the extent You are in a jurisdiction with a legal cooling-off period, You recognize that accessing the Software will forfeit any rights You might have under that cooling-off period.

Each Party agrees that a final judgment by such arbitration is conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Should either party to this Agreement initiate any action against the other, the substantially prevailing party (considering the relief sought and the relief achieved) shall be awarded reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with such enforcement.
