1. Warranty Overview

Attorney Shield, Inc. ("Attorney Shield", "we", "our", or "us") stands behind the effectiveness and value of its on-demand legal support services delivered through the Attorney Shield® mobile application. In keeping with our commitment to justice, equity, and member protection, we offer this limited warranty to reimburse qualifying and eligible members for certain out-of-pocket costs directly resulting from law enforcement encounters during which our service was properly used.

This Attorney Shield® Member Protection Warranty (“Warranty”) is intended to provide supplemental support and is not a form of insurance or indemnification.

2. Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for reimbursement under this Warranty:

1. The individual must be an active paid Attorney Shield® member at the time of the incident.

2. The Attorney Shield® app must have been activated during the incident, initiating a live connection with an attorney.

3. The law enforcement encounter must be: (a) Police-initiated (e.g., traffic stop, roadside detention, domestic situation, investigation, etc.) and (b) Occur within the United States or its territories.

3. The member’s incident must involve a law enforcement encounter where, based on a reasonable and good faith review by Attorney Shield, it can be determined that one or more officers unnecessarily or unlawfully escalated the situation, resulting in direct out-of-pocket costs to the member. [1]

[1] For the explicit purpose of this limited warranty, “unnecessarily or unlawfully escalated” shall mean any action taken by law enforcement officer(s) that either: (a) constitutes a violation of applicable laws, regulations, or constitutional rights; or (b) while technically lawful, is deemed excessive, avoidable, or disproportionate to the circumstances, as reasonably evaluated based on the totality of the situation.

3. Authorized Reimbursement Expenses

Subject to the terms and conditions herein, Attorney Shield may reimburse eligible members up to a maximum of $1,000 per covered incident per individual membership year or per family membership per year for documented out-of-pocket expenses to
include:

1. Post-adjudicated traffic tickets/citations and court ordered fines and penalties

2. Towing, impound, and vehicle storage fees

3. Court filing fees and administrative costs

4. Attorney fees

5. Damage to vehicle or place of residence caused by law enforcement (e.g., broken window or door)

6. Emergency medical treatment resulting from use-of-force

4. Exclusions

The
following conditions are excluded and not covered under this Warranty:

  • Incidents in which the Attorney
    Shield app was not activated
  • Member chooses not to contest
    traffic ticket/citation or arrest charge(s)
  • Driving on suspended license or driving
    with no license

during the incident

  • Restitution payments, bail/bond
    payments, civil judgements, and any other expense not explicitly listed in
    “Authorized Reimbursement Expenses”

5. Requesting Reimbursement

To submit a
reimbursement request, a member must:

  1. Submit a written incident
    summary
    within 30 days of the event at [insert web-form URL or
    hyperlink].
  2. Provide the specific date and
    approximate time of the incident
  3. Submit receipts or
    documentation
    of actual costs incurred.
  4. Authorize Attorney Shield to
    verify the details of the claim to include an administrative review of
    available video footage.

All
reimbursements are subject to internal review and are approved at the sole
discretion of Attorney Shield, Inc. Reimbursement payments must be issued directly
to the member.

6. Warranty Limitations

  • The maximum benefit is $1,000
    per covered incident
    , limited to one (1) covered incident per individual
    membership per year or one (1) covered incident per family membership per
    year
  • This Warranty is not
    transferable
    and applies only to the enrolled member
  • Attorney Shield reserves the
    right to deny claims found to be fraudulent, incomplete, or unsupported

7. Maximum Benefit Proration

For members
enrolled in monthly or semiannual payment plans, the maximum benefit
available under this warranty shall be prorated based on the proportion of
the membership period that has been paid as of the future renewal date
.
Proration is calculated by dividing the number of active membership months paid
within the 12-months preceding the renewal date, then dividing by 12, and
applying that percentage to the $1,000 maximum annual benefit.

  • Example 1: A monthly-paying member
    experiences an eligible incident 3 months after signing up. Having paid 3
    out of 12 months, the member would be eligible for 25% of the maximum
    benefit
    , or $250. After 12 months of uninterrupted active
    membership, a monthly-paying member would be eligible for 100% of the
    maximum benefit.
  • Example 2: A semiannual-paying member who
    recently renewed for another 6 months would be considered an active member
    for the 12 months preceding the updated renewal date, and thus eligible
    for 100% of the $1,000 maximum benefit. Alternatively, a new
    semiannual member would only be eligible for 50% of the maximum benefit
    or $500 since within the preceding 12 months of the renewal date,
    the member has only paid Attorney Shield® for 6 months. 
  • Example 3: An annual-paying member is
    eligible for 100% of the maximum benefit immediately upon signup or
    renewal, regardless of when the incident occurs within that year.
