These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at https://www.forensisgroup.com/ (the "Website") operated by ForensisGroup, Inc. ("ForensisGroup," "we," "us," or "our"), located at 251 S. Lake Ave., Ste. 835, Pasadena, CA 91101. These Terms apply to your use of the Website and to Website-based requests, submissions, or other interactions for which you are presented with and agree to these Terms. Where you are asked to affirmatively agree to these Terms, including when submitting certain Website forms, you agree to be bound by these Terms by checking the applicable agreement box and submitting the form. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not check the box or submit the form. Your use of portions of the Website that do not require affirmative acceptance remains subject to applicable law and any provisions of these Terms that may be enforceable based on the notice provided.
ForensisGroup provides expert witness and consulting services to attorneys, law firms, legal professionals, corporations, government agencies, insurance professionals, and other organizations seeking qualified experts for litigation. Services may include identifying and vetting potential expert candidates, reviewing credentials and relevant experience, conducting conflict-related checks, facilitating communications, and supporting the engagement process. ForensisGroup’s role may vary depending on the particular engagement, and the identification, screening, or presentation of an expert does not constitute a guarantee or warranty concerning the expert’s qualifications, suitability, availability, opinions, performance, or acceptance by any court, tribunal, client, or other person. The scope, availability, and functionality of our services may evolve over time. The Website provides general information about ForensisGroup and its services. Any engagement of ForensisGroup or of an expert is governed by a separate written agreement, as described in Section 2.
These Terms govern your use of the Website only. If you have entered into a separate written agreement with ForensisGroup, such as a client retention agreement, fee schedule, or expert or independent contractor agreement (each, a "Signed Agreement"), that Signed Agreement governs the services provided under it. If there is any conflict between these Terms and a Signed Agreement, the Signed Agreement controls. Nothing in these Terms modifies, limits, or terminates any Signed Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any provisions in a Signed Agreement concerning payment obligations, confidentiality, intellectual property, expert responsibilities, dispute resolution, indemnification, limitation of liability, or other terms relating to an engagement will control over inconsistent provisions of these Terms with respect to that engagement.
The Website is intended for users located in the following jurisdictions:
The Website may be accessible from other jurisdictions, but we do not represent that the Website, Content, or services are appropriate, available, or lawfully offered in every jurisdiction. If you access the Website from outside these jurisdictions, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.
You may use the Website only if you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement. If you use the Website on behalf of a law firm, company, government entity, insurer, or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to act on behalf of that organization in connection with your use of the Website and any submission you make through it.

Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms, ForensisGroup grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable right to access and use the Website and the information, text, graphics, expert profiles, and other materials made available on it (the "Content") solely for your internal business or personal informational purposes and, where applicable, to evaluate whether to request information regarding or engage an expert through ForensisGroup. This right is personal to you and does not confer any ownership, proprietary, or intellectual property rights in the Website, the Content, or underlying technology.

You should not submit information through a general Website form that is subject to a court order, protective order, confidentiality restriction, legal privilege, or other limitation on disclosure unless the applicable form or communication channel is appropriate for that information and you are authorized to provide it. You are solely responsible for your User Content and for any consequences arising from its submission or use through the Website. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to review, monitor, remove, or restrict access to any User Content that, in our reasonable discretion, violates these Terms or applicable law.
In connection with certain inquiries or submissions through the Website, you and ForensisGroup, Inc. may receive non-public information of the other party (“Confidential Information”). This Section applies only to confidential information exchanged through or in connection with use of the Website and does not supersede any confidentiality obligations contained in a Signed Agreement, protective order, nondisclosure agreement, or other binding obligation. Confidential Information includes any information disclosed in any form that is identified as confidential or that, by its nature or the circumstances of disclosure, ought reasonably to be treated as confidential, including business, commercial, technical, operational, financial, user-related, or other non-public information.
Each of you and ForensisGroup, Inc. agree to keep the other’s Confidential Information strictly confidential and to use such Confidential Information solely as necessary to perform obligations or exercise rights under these Terms. Confidential Information shall not be disclosed to any third party except where required by applicable law, regulation, or court order, provided that, to the extent legally permitted, the disclosing party is given prompt notice and reasonable cooperation to seek protective measures.
Confidential Information does not include information that (a) is or becomes publicly available through no breach of these Terms; (b) was lawfully known to the receiving party prior to disclosure; (c) is lawfully received from a third party without restriction; or (d) is independently developed without reference to the Confidential Information.
These confidentiality obligations survive for so long as the information remains confidential or protected under applicable law or agreement, except that trade secrets will be protected for so long as they qualify as trade secret under applicable law.
Our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information in connection with the Website are described in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Those policies provide information about our privacy practices and applicable privacy rights. By accessing and using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.
Our Website may contain links to, or integrate, tools, services, websites, and content owned by third parties ("Third-Party Services"). These Third-Party Services are not owned or controlled by ForensisGroup and we make no representations or warranties regarding their quality, availability, security, functionality, or legality. A link to a Third-Party Service, or the mention of any third party or its products or services on the Website, is not an endorsement of, or affiliation with, that third party. Your use of any Third-Party Services is solely governed by the terms and policies of the relevant third parties, and ForensisGroup disclaims any liability for any loss or damage arising from or in connection with the use of such Third-Party Services to the maximum extent permitted by the law. Your interaction with Third-Party Services may result in those third parties collecting information from or about you in accordance with their own terms and privacy practices.
ForensisGroup assists clients in identifying potential experts and consultants based on information available to us and the criteria communicated by the client. Unless expressly stated in a Signed Agreement, the identification screening, introduction, referral, or presentation of an expert or consultant does not constitute an endorsement, guarantee, certification, warranty, or representation by ForensisGroup that the individual is suitable for any particular matter or purpose. ForensisGroup does not guarantee any expert's qualifications, credentials, licensure, availability, independence, conflicts status, testimony, opinions, methodology, admissibility, performance, responsiveness, results, or acceptance by any court, tribunal, governmental authority, client, insurer, or other person. In no event will ForensisGroup, its agents, or employees be liable for the actions, competence, diligence, performance, representations made by, or satisfaction concerning any expert, consultant, service provider, attorney, lawyer, law firm, or insurance company with whom it is in any way involved.
ForensisGroup is not liable or otherwise responsible for the accuracy, validity, or truthfulness of the Content appearing on the Website, including information concerning expert personal histories, achievements, education, certifications, recognitions, past misconduct, or any other personal or professional information. Clients and other persons considering an expert are responsible for conducting such independent diligence as they consider appropriate before engagement, including evaluating qualifications, credentials, licensure, conflicts, methodology, prior testimony, disciplinary history, availability, and suitability for a particular matter. Information concerning experts may be supplied by the expert, obtained from third-party or public sources, or change after it is obtained by ForensisGroup. ForensisGroup does not undertake a continuing duty to independently verify or update all such information unless expressly provided in a Signed Agreement.
Any conflict-related screening performed by ForensisGroup is preliminary and does not replace the client's or expert's own conflict review. The client and expert remain responsible for identifying, evaluating, and clearing actual or potential conflicts before an engagement proceeds.
The Content is provided for educational and informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as a recommendation for any specific product, service, use, or course of action. The Content is not a substitute for professional advice, and you should not act or rely on any Content without seeking the advice of a qualified professional. ForensisGroup is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, and your use of the Website does not create an attorney-client relationship. ForensisGroup assumes no obligation to update the Content or to notify users of changes. Content describing experts, industries, legal topics, case types, verdicts, or other matters is general informational content and should not be relied upon as an assessment of the merits of any case or as a prediction of any legal or professional outcome.
The Website, and any content, features, functionality, software, or other materials made available through it, are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we expressly disclaim all warranties, conditions, representations, or guarantees of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, completeness, timeliness, availability, reliability, or error-free operation.
We do not warrant that the Website or any materials made available through it will meet your requirements, achieve any particular results, operate uninterrupted, be free of viruses or other harmful components, or be compatible with any third-party systems, software, or services.
Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that any expert identified through the Website will be available, appropriate for a particular matter, free of conflicts, retained by a client, qualified by a court, or accepted as an expert witness.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will ForensisGroup or its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, savings, business, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Website, or the Content, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. This includes damages resulting from viruses, data corruption, transmission errors, failures of telecommunications or internet providers, third-party content, products, or services, the transmission of confidential or proprietary information through the Website or by email, or the inability to use the Website.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the aggregate liability of ForensisGroup and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents for all claims arising out of or relating solely to your use of the Website or the Content, under these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100) or (b) the total fees actually paid by you to ForensisGroup through the Website during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
The limitations in this section do not apply to liability arising from ForensisGroup's fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence, or to any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law. Services provided under a Signed Agreement are subject to the limitation of liability in that agreement. For avoidance of doubt, this Section does not limit or alter any liability allocation expressly agreed in a Signed Agreement. You acknowledge that these limitations reflect a reasonable allocation of risk and that the Website is provided free of charge.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ForensisGroup and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) any information, materials, or content you submit through the Website or send to ForensisGroup by email or other correspondence; (b) your unlawful use or misuse of the Website or the User Content you submit in violation of these Terms, applicable law, confidentiality obligations, or third-party rights; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any applicable law or regulation; or (e) your infringement or violation of any intellectual property, privacy, or other right of any third party.
ForensisGroup will provide notice of any such claim and may, at its option, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate with ForensisGroup's defense. You may not settle any claim affecting ForensisGroup without its prior written consent.
ForensisGroup may suspend or terminate your access to the Website, in whole or in part, or modify or discontinue the Website, at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. You may stop using the Website at any time.
Termination of your access to the Website does not terminate or affect any Signed Agreement, which remains governed by its own terms. Termination does not affect any rights or obligations that accrued before termination, or any rights that cannot be limited under applicable law.
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, including any non-contractual disputes or claims, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles, and, with respect to Section 19, the Federal Arbitration Act.
Subject to Section 19, the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute that is not subject to arbitration and over any action to compel arbitration or to confirm, vacate, or enforce an arbitration award, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived under applicable law.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES MOST DISPUTES RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE WEBSITE TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT AND INCLUDES A WAIVER OF CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
Except for disputes governed by a dispute resolution provision in a Signed Agreement, and except as expressly provided below, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, your use of the Website or the Content, or the formation, interpretation, enforceability, breach or termination of these Terms will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration.
The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Commercial Arbitration Rules, pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, by one (1) arbitrator, seated in Los Angeles, California, United States of America, and conducted in English. If you are an individual using the Website for personal, family, or household purposes, the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply. If twenty-five (25) or more similar demands for arbitration are filed against ForensisGroup by or with the assistance of the same or coordinated counsel, the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules will apply to those demands. Any award rendered shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies; (b) seek temporary injunctive relief in the courts identified in Section 18 to protect its intellectual property or confidential information pending arbitration; and (c) bring an action in those courts to compel arbitration or to confirm, vacate, or enforce an arbitration award.
Class action waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and ForensisGroup agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable as to any claim, that claim shall proceed in the courts identified in Section 18, and not in arbitration, and the remainder of this section shall remain in effect.
Attorneys' fees. The prevailing party in any arbitration or court proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, except where prohibited by applicable law.
You agree to comply with all laws, regulations, and legally binding requirements applicable to you in connection with your use of the Website.
ForensisGroup shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes or labor disputes, epidemics or pandemics, governmental actions, cyberattacks, or failures of utilities or telecommunications networks.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or any of your rights or obligations under them, without ForensisGroup's prior written consent.
ForensisGroup may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, reorganization, change of control, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
We may modify these Terms at any time by posting the updated Terms on the Website and updating the effective date above. If the changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify you, such as by posting a notice on the Website or by email if we have your address. Changes take effect when posted unless otherwise stated, and will not apply to any dispute of which ForensisGroup had actual notice before the change took effect.
Your continued use of the Website after the updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of them. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Website.
If we make a material change to the arbitration provision that affects a user who previously affirmatively accepted these Terms, we may provide additional notice or obtain renewed assent where required by applicable law. No amendment will retroactively alter the manner in which a dispute of which we had actual notice before the amendment became effective must be resolved.
If you believe that Content on the Website infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to website@forensisgroup.com that includes: (a) identification of the copyrighted work; (b) identification of the material you believe is infringing and its location on the Website; (c) your contact information; (d) a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf; and (f) your physical or electronic signature.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or other competent authority, such provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or, if modification is not possible, shall be deemed deleted.
Any such modification or deletion shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms, except as provided in the class action waiver in Section 19.
Any provisions of these Terms which by their nature are intended to survive termination or expiry, including provisions relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, no endorsement of experts, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, governing law, and jurisdiction, shall survive termination or expiry of these Terms.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and ForensisGroup concerning your contractual use of the Website, subject to Section 2 and any other agreement you enter into with ForensisGroup. Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy describe our privacy and cookie practices and applicable rights but do not modify any Signed Agreement unless expressly stated. No waiver of any provision of these Terms is effective unless in writing and signed by ForensisGroup, and no waiver of any provision constitutes a waiver of any other provision or a continuing waiver. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
Any notice to ForensisGroup under these Terms must be in writing and delivered personally, sent by pre-paid mail or courier to the address below, with a copy by email to the email address below. We may provide notices to you by email to the address you have provided to us or by posting them on the Website.
Notices shall be deemed received:
Notices to us shall be sent to:
Company Name: ForensisGroup, Inc.
Address: ForensisGroup, Inc., Attn: Legal Notices, 251 S. Lake Ave, Ste 835, Pasadena, CA 91101, USA
Email: website@forensisgroup.com
A notice required under the informal dispute-resolution procedure in Section 19 must clearly state “Dispute Notice” in the subject line or on the envelope.
Submitting an inquiry or request through the Website does not by itself create an engagement of ForensisGroup or any expert, consultant, or other professional. No expert or consultant is retained until the applicable engagement requirements have been completed and any required agreement has been executed.
Submission of information through a general Website form does not, by itself, create an attorney-client, expert-client, fiduciary, or other privileged relationship with ForensisGroup or any prospective expert. Users should exercise appropriate care when submitting confidential, privileged, or highly sensitive information before an engagement and appropriate communications process have been established.
