1. Let’s-ParaConnect Platform Overview

Let’s-ParaConnect is a technology platform designed to allow attorneys to engage independent paralegals for project-based support work. The Platform enables attorneys to post cases and allows approved paralegals to apply for and perform discrete support assignments as independent contractors. Let’s-ParaConnect provides the software infrastructure that facilitates communication, workflow coordination, and payments through the Platform. Attorneys and paralegals decide independently whether to work together through the Platform. Let’s-ParaConnect does not provide legal services, legal representation, or legal advice, is not a law firm, is not a staffing agency, and does not assign engagements. The Platform does not facilitate attorney-client relationships, and no attorney-client communications or client funds are permitted on the Platform.

2. Flat-Fee Cases

2.1 Overview of How Flat-Fee Cases Work

An attorney may post a discrete assignment (a “Case”) to the Platform. Each Case posting includes, among other information:

The minimum case compensation on the Platform is $400.

Approved paralegals may apply to the Case. When a paralegal applies, their profile is presented to the posting attorney for review. The attorney may review applicants and select a paralegal to perform the work. At that point, the attorney and paralegal are provided access to collaboration tools within the Platform, which may include:

2.2 Attorney Payment for Flat-Fee Cases

When an Attorney selects a Paralegal for a flat-fee Case, the Attorney authorizes payment for the Case through the Platform. Attorneys must provide valid payment information prior to hiring a Paralegal for a Case. Payment information is managed through the payment settings section of the Attorney’s account dashboard. By posting and hiring for a flat-fee Case through the Platform, the Attorney authorizes payment processing through Stripe Connect or another applicable third-party payment processor supported by the Platform. Payments are processed in accordance with the Platform’s payment workflow and the terms of the applicable payment processor.

2.3 Paralegal Payment for Flat-Fee Cases

Upon timely completion of a Case, the paralegal will be paid the Case amount presented at the time the paralegal applied for or accepted the Case. Payments are issued to the paralegal’s designated Stripe Connect payout account as provided during the payment onboarding process within the paralegal’s account dashboard. Payments are processed through the Platform’s payment processor and are released only upon: (i) the hiring attorney’s confirmation of completion within the Case dashboard; or (ii) resolution of a dispute or review process administered through the Platform in accordance with the Platform’s payment and workflow policies. Depending on the financial institution used by the paralegal, funds may take several business days to appear in the paralegal’s bank account after the payout is initiated. Let’s-ParaConnect does not take custody of user funds and does not provide banking services. All payment authorization, settlement, and payout timing are governed by the systems and policies of the applicable payment processor.

2.4 Rules Governing the Use of Paralegals for Case Work

For each Case posted on the Platform, the Attorney agrees to comply with the following rules governing the use of Paralegals:

2.5 Let’s-ParaConnect Platform Fee for Flat-Fee Cases

Let’s-ParaConnect does not provide legal services and does not charge fees for legal services. In exchange for providing the Platform and related software tools, Let’s-ParaConnect charges a platform fee in connection with completed Cases. The platform fee is applied to the Case amount in accordance with the fee structure disclosed to users during the Case posting and acceptance process. Platform fees are collected and processed through the Platform’s payment processor as part of the Case payment workflow. Let’s-ParaConnect reserves the right to modify platform fees prospectively. Any changes will apply only to Cases posted after such changes become effective.

3. Paralegal Replacement and Early Termination

3.1 Dispute Review for Flat-Fee Cases

Any dispute relating to a flat-fee Case must be initiated through the Platform prior to payment release. Let’s-ParaConnect may administer the Platform’s review workflow by collecting information submitted by the Attorney and Paralegal, requesting additional documentation relevant to the Case, and applying the Platform’s payment and workflow policies. Let’s-ParaConnect does not provide legal advice, does not adjudicate legal claims, and does not act as legal counsel for any user.

3.2 Missed Deadlines

Paralegals are expected to meet all deadlines agreed upon within a Case unless an extension has been requested and approved by the hiring Attorney through the Platform.

A “missed deadline” occurs when a Paralegal fails to submit the required deliverable by the agreed deadline and has not received approval from the Attorney for an extension.

If a Paralegal misses a deadline and no work product has been delivered, the hiring Attorney may request review through the Platform and may be eligible for a full refund of the Case amount.

Repeated missed deadlines may result in disciplinary action by Let’s-ParaConnect, including warnings, temporary restrictions, probation, suspension, or termination of the Paralegal’s account.

As a general guideline, a pattern of three (3) missed deadlines may result in suspension or termination of the Paralegal’s access to the Platform at Let’s-ParaConnect’s sole discretion.

Because deadlines are a material part of Case work performed through the Platform, unless a Paralegal can establish that the Paralegal was unable to complete a Case by the agreed deadline due to the Attorney’s inaction, failure to provide necessary information, or other circumstances outside the Paralegal’s control, a dispute based on a missed deadline may be resolved in favor of the Attorney and payment for the Case may be refunded in full through the Platform’s payment processor.

4. Communication Between Attorneys and Paralegals

Effective communication is essential to successful collaboration on the Platform. By posting a Case, applying to a Case, or accepting a Case, Attorneys and Paralegals agree to communicate professionally and proactively regarding all aspects of the work. Such communication may occur through the Platform’s messaging features or other mutually agreed-upon communication methods and should include, where appropriate:

Both Attorneys and Paralegals are responsible for maintaining professional communication and promptly responding to reasonable requests for information necessary to complete the Case. Let’s-ParaConnect provides communication tools within the Platform to facilitate collaboration but does not supervise or control communications between users. If users choose to communicate outside the Platform, they do so at their own discretion, and the Attorney remains responsible for supervision, recordkeeping, and compliance with all applicable professional obligations.

5. Account Registration

To access and use the full features of the Let’s-ParaConnect platform (the “Platform”), you must register for an account as either an Attorney or a Paralegal. All account registrations are subject to review and approval by Let’s-ParaConnect. Let’s-ParaConnect reserves the right to approve, deny, suspend, or revoke any account at its sole discretion, including for violation of these Terms or for any other reason permitted by applicable law.

Attorney Accounts

To create an Attorney account on the Platform, you must represent and warrant that you are using the Platform solely for legitimate professional purposes and that you are either: (i) an attorney duly licensed and in good standing with one or more state bars; or (ii) an employee or authorized representative of a law firm acting under the direction and supervision of one or more attorneys duly licensed and in good standing with one or more state bars. Attorneys are responsible for ensuring that their use of the Platform complies with all applicable laws and professional conduct rules governing the supervision and use of paralegals.

Paralegal Accounts

To create a Paralegal account on the Platform, you must represent that you possess relevant professional experience, training, or education in the legal field. Let’s-ParaConnect may review and evaluate each Paralegal application before granting access to the Platform. Approval may be based on factors including, but not limited to:

Let’s-ParaConnect reserves the right to approve or deny Paralegal applications at its sole discretion. Users agree that their use of the Platform is for professional and business purposes only. Users whose access to the Platform has been previously suspended or revoked may not create a new account without express permission from Let’s-ParaConnect.

Self-serve account deactivation removes a user from active platform participation but does not guarantee full erasure. Historical case, dispute, payment, audit, and related financial records may be preserved for legal, operational, and integrity purposes. Accounts cannot be deactivated while the user is involved in an active matter or while escrow, payout, dispute, or other financial obligations remain unresolved.

6. User Profiles

To use the Platform, users must complete a user profile (“Profile”). Profiles may be visible to other users of the Platform and, depending on the user’s settings and Platform features, may be visible to prospective Attorneys or Paralegals. Paralegals may be required to complete their full Profile before applying to Cases or being invited to work on the Platform. Users agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information in their Profiles and to update such information as necessary to maintain its accuracy. Users may not provide false, misleading, or incomplete information regarding their identity, qualifications, skills, or experience. Let’s-ParaConnect reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account or Profile that contains false, misleading, or incomplete information or that otherwise violates these Terms.

6.1 Identification and Verification

When you register for an account and periodically thereafter, your account may be subject to identity and credential verification. Verification may include, but is not limited to:

By registering for an account, you authorize Let’s-ParaConnect, directly or through third-party service providers, to conduct reasonable inquiries necessary to verify your identity, location, professional background, and contact information, subject to applicable law. When requested, users must provide accurate and complete information and may be required to submit official government or professional documentation in order to confirm their identity or professional qualifications. During the verification process, certain features of the Platform may be temporarily limited. Access will be restored once verification has been successfully completed. Failure to cooperate with reasonable verification requests may result in suspension or termination of the account.

7. Let’s-ParaConnect Profiles

Let’s-ParaConnect may provide profile browsing tools through which Attorneys may review approved Paralegal profiles and invite Paralegals to apply to Cases posted on the Platform. These tools may allow Attorneys to filter profiles based on criteria such as:

These profile tools are not intended to represent a complete list of all Paralegals registered on the Platform. Only Paralegals who have opted into profile visibility features will appear there. Paralegals may choose whether to: (i) appear in profile browsing tools for Attorney search and invitation; or (ii) remain visible only through Case applications. Let’s-ParaConnect may also highlight certain Paralegal profiles within internal platform communications to Attorneys based on platform activity, qualifications, or other factors intended to facilitate use of the Platform. Inclusion in these profile tools does not guarantee invitations, Case assignments, or work opportunities.

8. Working Together Outside the Platform

Attorneys and Paralegals acknowledge that Let’s-ParaConnect invests significant resources to develop and maintain the Platform and to connect Attorneys with qualified Paralegals. Accordingly, Attorneys and Paralegals agree that introductions and professional relationships formed through the Platform are intended to result in work performed through the Platform. Users may not circumvent the Platform by arranging to work together outside of Let’s-ParaConnect after connecting through the Platform without the prior written consent of Let’s-ParaConnect. If an Attorney and Paralegal wish to engage directly outside of the Platform after meeting through Let’s-ParaConnect, they may request written approval from Let’s-ParaConnect. Let’s-ParaConnect reserves the right to approve such requests and may require the payment of a buyout fee or other reasonable compensation in connection with such approval. Let’s-ParaConnect reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that attempt to circumvent the Platform’s payment system or terms of service.

9. Paralegals Are Independent Contractors

Paralegals using the Let’s-ParaConnect platform are independent contractors and are not employees, agents, partners, or representatives of Let’s-ParaConnect or of any Attorney using the Platform. Paralegals are solely responsible for providing their own equipment, software, research tools, internet access, and other resources necessary to perform services for Attorneys. Nothing in these Terms creates any employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between Let’s-ParaConnect and any user of the Platform. Paralegals are free to perform services for other Attorneys and third parties at their discretion. Attorneys retain sole responsibility for supervising the work performed by Paralegals and for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and professional conduct rules.

10. Tax Reporting and IRS Forms

Paralegals are independent service providers and are responsible for reporting and paying all applicable taxes related to compensation received through the Platform. Let’s-ParaConnect or its third-party payment processor (such as Stripe) may issue IRS Form 1099 or other required tax reporting forms to Paralegals as required by applicable law. Users are responsible for maintaining accurate tax, mailing, and contact information within their account profiles to ensure proper tax reporting. Let’s-ParaConnect does not provide tax advice.

11. Case Review and Dispute Resolution

From time to time, disagreements may arise between Attorneys and Paralegals regarding work performed through the Platform. Either party may request review of a Case through the Platform’s dispute or review process. Upon submission of a dispute request, Let’s-ParaConnect may collect the information submitted by the parties and may request additional documentation relevant to the Platform’s payment and workflow process. Users agree to cooperate in good faith with any reasonable requests for information during the review process. Let’s-ParaConnect’s role in the review process is limited to administering the Platform’s policies and workflow. Let’s-ParaConnect does not provide legal advice and does not adjudicate legal claims between users. Failure to respond to reasonable requests for information during a review process may result in the review being handled based on the information available.

12. Probation and Account Termination

Let’s-ParaConnect reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to suspend, restrict, place on probation, or terminate any user account at any time, with or without notice, including but not limited to circumstances involving violations of these Terms or behavior that may harm the integrity of the Platform. When a Paralegal account is placed on probation, the Paralegal may continue working on Cases that are already in progress but may be temporarily restricted from applying to new Cases or accepting new invitations until the probation period ends. Let’s-ParaConnect may take action against accounts that engage in conduct that undermines the proper operation of the Platform, including but not limited to:

Let’s-ParaConnect may determine the appropriate response to such conduct, which may include warnings, probationary status, temporary restrictions, suspension, or permanent termination of the account. Where appropriate, Let’s-ParaConnect may also review the circumstances surrounding missed deadlines or other issues, including whether such issues were caused by lack of information, delayed communication, or other circumstances outside the Paralegal’s control. Users whose accounts have been suspended or terminated may not create new accounts without the express permission of Let’s-ParaConnect.

When self-serve deactivation is available, it disables account access and removes the user from active participation only. It does not reopen prior matters or remove historical platform records. Let’s-ParaConnect may deny self-serve deactivation while an active matter, unresolved dispute, escrowed funds, pending payout, or other unresolved financial relationship remains on the account.

12.1 Conduct That May Result in Probation or Account Termination

Without limiting Let’s-ParaConnect’s right to suspend or terminate accounts, the following conduct may result in warnings, probation, suspension, or termination of a user account:

Let’s-ParaConnect may determine the appropriate response based on the circumstances of each situation. Such responses may include warnings, temporary restrictions, probationary status, suspension of account privileges, or permanent termination of the account. When evaluating such matters, Let’s-ParaConnect may consider factors including communication between the parties, the clarity of the Case description, whether deadlines were reasonable, and whether delays or issues were caused by factors outside the user’s control.
