By accessing this Site, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms, all applicable laws and regulations, and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws. If you do not agree with any of these Terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing this Site. The materials contained on this Site are protected by applicable copyright and trademark law.

Use License

Permission is granted to temporarily access the materials (information, calculators, tools) on Jones Act Calculator's Site for personal, non-commercial, informational use only. This is the grant of a license, not a transfer of title, and under this license you may not:

  • Modify or copy the materials for commercial redistribution.
  • Use the materials for any commercial purpose or public display.
  • Attempt to reverse engineer any software contained on the Site.
  • Remove any copyright or other proprietary notations from the materials.

This license shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by Jones Act Calculator at any time.

Disclaimer

Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice. The information, settlement estimates, and calculators provided on this Site are for general informational purposes only. The results generated by the calculator are estimates based on aggregated historical jury verdict data and do not guarantee a similar outcome in your specific case.

Use of this Site, including submitting a form for a settlement audit, does not create an attorney-client relationship. We are an independent informational portal and settlement calculator. An attorney-client relationship can only be established through a formal, written representation agreement signed by you and a licensed attorney.

The materials on this Site are provided on an “as is” basis. Jones Act Calculator makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and hereby disclaims and negates all other warranties including, without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property or other violation of rights.

Limitations

In no event shall Jones Act Calculator, its operators, or affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data or profit, or due to business interruption) arising out of the use or inability to use the materials on this Site, even if Jones Act Calculator or an authorized representative has been notified orally or in writing of the possibility of such damage.

Accuracy of Materials

While we strive to keep our aggregated data and statistics (including maintenance and cure rates, jury verdict data, and settlement ranges) current, maritime law is complex and subject to change. The materials appearing on this Site may include technical, typographical, or photographic errors. Jones Act Calculator does not warrant that any of the materials on its Site are accurate, complete, or current.
