Last updated: Aug 22, 2025

Thank you for visiting YouWereAKid.com

The Site is an Internet property of Core Counsel Group, Inc. (“Core Counsel Group,” “CCG,” “Firm,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). Each visitor and end user (“User,” “you,” or “your”) agrees to these Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) when they: (a) access or use the Site; (b) view any text, video, graphics, downloadable materials, or other information made available on the Site (collectively, the “Content”); (c) access our social media pages/accounts (the “Social Media Pages”); and/or (d) use the Site’s contact forms, chat/SMS features, or telephone numbers to request a free, confidential case review from CCG or our co‑counsel (the “Contact Services,” and together with the Site, Content, and Social Media Pages, the “Site Offerings”).

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy and any other posted rules or policies (collectively, the “Agreement”). By using the Site Offerings, you agree to be bound by the Agreement in full. If you do not agree, do not use the Site Offerings.

Attorney Advertising / Important Notices. The Site may be considered attorney advertising under the laws and rules of certain jurisdictions. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Use of the Site does not create an attorney–client relationship. An attorney–client relationship with CCG is formed only after you sign a written engagement agreement.

1. Scope; Changes to These Terms

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and CCG regarding your use of the Site Offerings and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals. We may update these Terms at any time by posting a revised version on the Site. Changes apply prospectively. Your continued use of the Site Offerings after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

2. Eligibility; Termination

The Site Offerings are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). If you are under 18 or cannot form a legally binding contract, you may not use the Site Offerings. We may suspend or terminate your access to any or all Site Offerings at any time, for any reason, without notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms.

3. No Legal Advice; No Attorney–Client Relationship via Site

The Content is provided for general informational purposes only and is not legal advice. You should not act or refrain from acting based on Content without seeking legal advice from an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction. Contacting us through the Site, SMS, phone, or email does not create an attorney–client relationship. If CCG agrees to represent you, that representation will be confirmed in a written engagement agreement that sets forth the scope of services and fees.

4. Contact Services; Case Evaluations; Co‑Counsel

By submitting information through the Contact Services, you request that CCG review your potential claim. You agree to provide true, accurate, and complete information. You authorize CCG to contact you by phone, text message, or email using the contact details you provide. Consent to receive communications is not a condition of services. Message and data rates may apply (see Section 16 for SMS Terms). To provide legal services, CCG may associate with co‑counsel or local counsel. You authorize us to share your submission with co‑counsel for evaluation and potential representation. Any engagement of CCG and/or co‑counsel will be governed by a separate written agreement. Not all cases will qualify for compensation and no result is guaranteed.

5. Paid Attorney Advertising; Jurisdictional Statements

The Site may contain statements about verdicts or settlements. These are illustrative only and do not guarantee, warrant, or predict the outcome of any other matter. CCG attorneys are licensed in California, New York, and the District of Columbia. We do not seek to represent anyone in a jurisdiction where this Site does not comply with applicable laws and rules.

- Special Notices Regarding Attorney Advertising and Certification (summarized):

- Many jurisdictions require that we disclose: “Attorney Advertising.” Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

- Unless expressly stated, CCG attorneys are not certified as specialists by any state bar–approved certifying organization.

- If this Site is not in compliance with the rules of your jurisdiction, and you are a consumer seeking legal services, you should disregard the Content and contact an attorney licensed in your state.

6. Intellectual Property; Limited License

The Site Offerings, including all Content, design, logos, and trademarks, are owned by CCG or our licensors and are protected by intellectual‑property laws. We grant you a limited, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site Offerings for your personal, non‑commercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any Site materials except as allowed by law or with our prior written consent.

7. User Conduct

You agree not to misuse the Site Offerings, including by: (a) attempting to gain unauthorized access to the Site or systems; (b) interfering with or disrupting the Site’s operation; (c) using automated means to access the Site (scraping, crawling) without our written consent; (d) posting or transmitting any unlawful, harmful, defamatory, or infringing content; or (e) violating any applicable law.

8. Third‑Party Links; Social Media

The Site may contain links to third‑party websites or resources, including Social Media Pages. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for any third‑party websites, resources, or services. Your use of third‑party sites is at your own risk and subject to those sites’ terms and policies. Facebook®, Instagram®, X® (Twitter), LinkedIn®, and other platform names and logos are the trademarks of their respective owners; they do not sponsor or endorse the Site Offerings.

9. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information via the Site Offerings is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.

10. Disclaimers (Website Use Only)

THE SITE OFFERINGS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CCG DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR‑FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. THE CONTENT MAY BE OUT OF DATE OR INCLUDE ERRORS.

Carve‑Out: These website use disclaimers do not alter any rights or obligations that may arise if you later enter into a written engagement agreement with CCG for legal services. Any such agreement governs the attorney–client relationship.

11. Limitation of Liability (Website Use Only)

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CCG, OUR AFFILIATES, OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CO‑COUNSEL, AND SUPPLIERS (COLLECTIVELY, “COVERED PARTIES”) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OFFERINGS. TO THE EXTENT LIABILITY CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE COVERED PARTIES FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE OFFERINGS SHALL NOT EXCEED $500. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Carve‑Out: This limitation applies to website use only and does not govern any later attorney–client engagement, which will be governed by your written engagement agreement. 12. Indemnification You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Covered Parties from and against any claims, damages, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your misuse of the Site Offerings or violation of these Terms.

13. Accessibility

CCG strives to make the Site accessible and usable for all visitors. If you have difficulty accessing content or a feature, please contact us at [accessibility@corecounselgroup.com] or [phone number] so we can assist and improve our services.

14. Governing Law; Venue

These Terms and your use of the Site Offerings are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict‑of‑laws rules. Subject to Section 15 (Arbitration), the exclusive venue for any disputes arising out of or related to the Site Offerings shall be the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

15. Arbitration; Class‑Action Waiver (Website Use Only)

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights regarding the Site Offerings.

(a) Agreement to Arbitrate. Except for claims that may be brought in small‑claims court and for requests for public injunctive relief, you and CCG agree to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Site Offerings or these Terms (but not any later attorney–client engagement) by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles County, California, or by video/phone if mutually agreed.

(b) Class‑Action Waiver. You and CCG agree that each may bring claims only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

(c) Opt‑Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days after you first access the Site by sending written notice to [legal@corecounselgroup.com] or the mailing address in Section 20. Your opt‑out will not affect any other terms.

(d) Severability. If any part of this Section is found unenforceable, the remainder will still apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Carve‑Out: Any arbitration or class‑action waiver here applies only to disputes about Site use and these Terms. Disputes arising from a signed legal services agreement are governed by the provisions in that agreement.

16. SMS/Text Message Terms

By providing your mobile number, you consent to receive transactional and informational texts from CCG related to your inquiry. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP; for help, reply HELP. Consent is not a condition of services. We may use third‑party vendors to deliver messages; those vendors are bound to protect your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

17. Changes; Availability; Security

We may modify or discontinue any Site Offering at any time without notice. We use reasonable safeguards to protect the Site, but no system is perfectly secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account information used to access the Site Offerings (if applicable).

18. International Use

The Site is controlled and operated from the United States and is not intended to subject CCG to non‑U.S. laws or jurisdictions. We make no representations that the Site Offerings are appropriate or available for use in other locations.

19. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them without restriction. Section headings are for convenience only.
