Effective Date: April 27, 2026 · Last Updated: April 27, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of rideoutlaw.com (the “Site”) and any content or features offered on or through the Site by Rideout Law Group (“Rideout Law,” “the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
Read these Terms carefully before using the Site. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
1. The Site Does Not Provide Legal Advice
The information on this Site is for general informational purposes only and is not legal advice. Reading a blog post, browsing a practice area page, watching a video, or downloading material from the Site does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Laws change, and the right answer for one person can be the wrong answer for another. Information on this Site may be out of date or may not apply to your situation. Do not act or refrain from acting based on anything on this Site without first speaking with a licensed attorney about your specific facts. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
2. No Attorney-Client Relationship
An attorney-client relationship with Rideout Law Group is created only when:
- The Firm has run a conflicts check and determined we can take the matter
- You and the Firm have agreed to the scope of representation
- You have signed a written engagement letter or fee agreement
Sending us a contact form, an email, or a voicemail does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship, and does not, by itself, make your communication legally privileged. Until an engagement letter is signed, please do not send confidential or sensitive information through the Site, by email, or by voicemail.
Information you submit through the contact form may be reviewed by intake staff and attorneys for conflicts and case evaluation purposes before any reply.
3. Confidentiality of Communications Through the Site
Email and web form submissions travel over the internet and are not encrypted by default. Anyone with access to the network or the email account on either end may be able to read them. Do not use the Site to send information you would not want a third party to see. If you need a secure way to send sensitive material, ask the Firm about secure delivery options before sending.
4. Attorney Advertising
The content on this Site may be considered attorney advertising under the Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct, including Rules 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3. The Site is not a solicitation of clients in any matter where solicitation is restricted, and your decision to contact the Firm should be based on your own evaluation.
The lawyer responsible for the content on this Site is Brad J. Rideout. Principal office: Scottsdale, Arizona. The Firm also maintains an office in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
5. Past Results Do Not Guarantee Future Outcomes
Any references on the Site to case results, verdicts, settlements, dismissals, or other outcomes describe specific matters and are not a promise, prediction, or guarantee about the outcome of any other matter. Every case is different. Outcomes depend on the facts, the law, the court, opposing counsel, and many factors that no lawyer can fully control. Statements about case results are not intended to create unjustified expectations or to imply that similar results can be obtained in your matter, consistent with Arizona Rule of Professional Conduct 7.1.

All content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, images, blog articles, and the compilation of those items, is the property of Rideout Law Group or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
“Rideout Law Group” and related names and logos are marks of the Firm. Other trademarks referenced on the Site are the property of their respective owners.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site for the purposes described in Section 7. All other rights are reserved. Brief excerpts may be shared with attribution and a link back to the source page on rideoutlaw.com.
10. Form Submissions and User Content
If you submit content to the Site, including contact form messages or comments, you represent that the content is yours to submit and does not violate any law or any third party’s rights. You grant Rideout Law Group permission to use your submission for the purpose of evaluating, responding to, and where appropriate handling your matter, subject to the Firm’s professional and ethical obligations and to our Privacy Policy.
By submitting an inquiry, you acknowledge that no attorney-client relationship and no legal privilege is created by the submission, and that your submission may be reviewed for conflicts before any reply.
11. Right to Decline Representation
The Firm reserves the right to decline any matter for any reason consistent with its professional obligations, including conflicts of interest, capacity, geographic reach, type of matter, and any other factor the Firm considers relevant. Receipt of an inquiry is not an agreement to represent you.
12. Third-Party Links and References
The Site may link to or reference third-party websites, statutes, court opinions, news articles, and other resources. Links and references are provided for convenience and do not constitute an endorsement. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party site. Use of those sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
13. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOUR USE OF THE SITE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
14. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RIDEOUT LAW GROUP AND ITS ATTORNEYS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SITE OR ITS CONTENT, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits the Firm’s liability to its clients under a signed engagement agreement or under applicable rules of professional conduct.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Rideout Law Group and its attorneys, employees, agents, and affiliates from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your use of the Site, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any third-party right, or (d) your violation of any applicable law.
16. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Site ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and governing law, shall survive.
17. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section affects venue or jurisdiction provisions in a separate engagement agreement between the Firm and a client.
18. Informal Dispute Resolution
Before filing any legal action, you agree to first contact the Firm at brad@rideoutlaw.com and to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.
19. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
20. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any engagement agreement you sign with the Firm, are the entire agreement between you and Rideout Law Group regarding your use of the Site and supersede any prior agreements on this subject. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a signed engagement agreement, the engagement agreement controls for the represented matter.
21. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be communicated through the Site where practicable. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
