Terms of Service

1. What This Site Is (and Isn't)

We believe everyone deserves to understand their rights — not just the people who can afford a lawyer. Commoner Law exists to give you clear, practical legal information written in plain language so you can recognize what's happening, know your options, and take the next step with confidence.

What you'll find here is legal information, not personal legal advice. We're not a law firm, and reading or using this site doesn't create an attorney-client relationship. Every case has its own facts, and laws change — so while we work hard to keep this content accurate and current, the right move for your situation depends on details only a licensed attorney who knows your case can weigh.

If you believe your rights have been violated or you need guidance on something specific, please consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.

2. Using Our Content

You are welcome to read, share, and link to our content freely. However, you may not:

• Copy or republish our content in bulk on another website or publication without written permission
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to extract content from this site for commercial purposes
• Present our content as your own or remove attribution to Commoner Law

Short quotes with a link back to the original page are always fine.

3. Accuracy and Limitations

We work hard to keep our content accurate, current, and sourced from official statutes and regulations. However, laws change frequently at both the federal and state level, and we cannot guarantee that every detail reflects the very latest legal developments at all times.

You should always verify information with official government sources or a qualified attorney before making decisions based on what you read here. Commoner Law is a starting point for understanding — not a substitute for professional legal counsel.

4. Third-Party Links and Affiliates

Our site may contain links to third-party websites, services, and products. Some of these may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you click through and take an action (such as signing up for a service or making a purchase).

These affiliate relationships do not influence the information or recommendations on our site. We only link to services we believe may be genuinely useful to our readers.

We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any third-party websites. Visiting external links is at your own discretion.

5. Cookies and Privacy

Our use of cookies, data collection, and advertising practices is described in detail in our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use this site, you acknowledge our cookie and data practices as described there.

6. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

If you have questions about these terms, you can reach us at [email protected].
