LAWYER VIDEO MARKETING

Lawyers are ultimately responsible for ensuring their legal videos comply with their State Bar Association’s marketing and advertising guidelines.

LLG shall host and display videos on LLG’s website in the state in which that lawyer is licensed to practice law. Such videos shall remain on LLG’s website on a month to month basis, subject to LLG and/or lawyer being able to direct the removal of the videos at anytime.

You affirm that you and/or lawyer owns all intellectual property rights to lawyer’s videos. Lawyer’s videos shall be and at all times remain the intellectual property of lawyer. Lawyer agrees that for the duration of these Terms of Service and until lawyer notifies LLG to remove lawyer’s videos, LLG shall be granted an irrevocable worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty free, sub-licenseable and transferable license to publicly perform, use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the lawyer’s videos and non-video content, including, but not limited to name, email, address, and description in connection with the Services provided by LLG and LLG’s business, including without limitation, for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Services (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels, including third party websites and other media outlets, as LLG deems necessary for the purposes of rendering and operating the Services provided to client under this Agreement and includes permitting LLG a license to cache materials distributed or made available for distribution vie the Service, including content supplied by third parties.  The rights granted are perpetual and irrevocable.

To the extent that third party permissions are needed, you affirm that such have been obtained. You shall grant LLG a limited right to use lawyer’s trademarks, if any, for the limited purpose of permitting LLG to fulfill its duties under these Terms of Service.  This is not a trademark license and no other rights relating to the trademarks are granted by these Terms of Service.

You agree to notify LLG of any problems, changes, or termination of hosting services by contacting LLG at Tighe@LocalLawyerGuide.com as soon as is possible.

To the extent you are the cause of any loss, damages, or liabilities to LLG, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, you agree to reimburse, compensate and pay LLG for such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or penalties that LLG or any of LLG’s officers, directors, agents, successors or assigns may incur from your use of the Services, except to the extent that any loss, damages or liabilities are caused by LLG’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
