Terms of Use
Last updated: July 28, 2026
Not legal advice. Open Legal Aid is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation. Our guides and tools offer general legal information and self-help documents only, and using them does not create an attorney–client relationship. Laws vary by state and change over time — for advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney.
Not a law firm, not legal advice
Open Legal Aid is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation. Everything on this site — guides, checklists, the operating agreement generator — is general legal information and self-help material only. Using this site does not create an attorney–client relationship. Laws vary by state and change over time; for advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney.
No guarantee of accuracy
We work to keep filing fees, deadlines, and requirements accurate, but state rules change and we can't guarantee every figure is current at the moment you read it. Always verify fees and requirements with your state's Secretary of State (or equivalent agency) before filing or relying on any number shown here.
Documents you generate
The checklist and operating agreement templates our tools generate are starting points, not finished legal documents tailored to your situation. Review them carefully, fill in anything that needs your specific details, and consider having a licensed attorney review anything before you sign it — especially for multi-member LLCs or unusual ownership structures.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links to third-party formation services. If you sign up through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. See our About page for how we choose and disclose these. We don't control, and aren't responsible for, the services, pricing, or policies of any third-party site we link to.
Acceptable use
You may use this site's content and tools for your own business formation purposes. Don't scrape, republish, or resell our content wholesale, and don't use our tools to generate documents for unlawful purposes.
"As is," no warranty
This site and its tools are provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Open Legal Aid isn't liable for any damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content.
Changes
We may update these terms as the site evolves. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
