Terms of Use constitute an agreement ("Agreement") made between Rollins, Smalkin, Richards & Mackie L.L.C. ("RSR&M") and any person accessing RSR&M's website ("You") with respect to your use of RSR&M's website ("the Site").

BY ACCESSING, VIEWING OR USING ANY PART OF THE SITE, YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO AND CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU DO NOT HAVE RSR&M's PERMISSION TO ACCESS, VIEW, OR USE ANY PART OF THE SITE. ANY SUCH UNAUTHORIZED USE VIOLATES RSR&M'S RIGHTS IN THE SITE AND IS PROHIBITED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

1. LIMITATIONS
a. Security. You shall be solely responsible for the security, confidentiality, integrity, and use of all messages and/or the content that You transmit to the Site.

b. Privacy. When reasonable, RSR&M will attempt to respect your privacy. RSR&M will not monitor, edit, or disclose any personal information about You, including your use of the Site, without your prior consent unless RSR&M has a good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
(i) comply with legal process or other legal requirements of any governmental authority;
(ii) protect and defend the rights or property of RSR&M;
(iii) enforce this Agreement;
(iv) protect the interests of users of the Site other than You or any other person; or (v) operate or conduct maintenance and repair of RSR&M's services or equipment, including the Site as authorized by law.

You should not act (or refrain from acting) based upon information in this Site without obtaining professional advice regarding your particular facts and circumstances.

d. Creation of an Attorney–Client Relationship. Simply contacting RSR&M by email or otherwise will not establish an attorney–client relationship between You and RSR&M unless and until a partner in RSR&M expressly and explicitly agrees IN WRITING that the firm will undertake an attorney–client relationship with You. As a result, You should not transmit any confidential or sensitive information to RSR&M until a formal attorney–client relationship has been established.

e. Confidentiality of Information Transmitted to RSR&M. You also should be aware that if You send messages to RSR&M (or any of its attorneys, staff, employees, agents or representatives) through Internet electronic mail or through the RSR&M home page, such means are not secure, and RSR&M does not guarantee the confidentiality of such communications. RSR&M does not agree to accept and/or maintain the secrecy of any unsolicited information You send to RSR&M except if an attorney–client relationship currently exists between You and RSR&M. No attorney–client relationship is created unilaterally by your sending to RSR&M any information You consider to be confidential.

Changes in this Agreement will be posted on this Site. Your continued use of this Site after any changes are made, shall be deemed your acceptance of the changes.
