1. Scope of Agreement

This Master Engagement Agreement governs all legal services provided by Cutler Riley, PLLC, a Utah professional limited liability company ("Firm"), to any client ("Client") who engages the Firm for legal representation. It applies to all current and future matters unless otherwise agreed in writing.

2. Fees and Payment

The Firm’s publicly posted fees and rates are provided for general informational purposes only and do not control the fees charged for any specific matter. The fees for Client’s specific legal matter will be those expressly communicated to Client by the Firm, whether verbally, in writing, or as reflected on the Firm’s invoices. Only the fees so communicated apply to Client’s engagement. If Client disputes an invoice, Client must notify the Firm in writing within a reasonable time after receipt of the invoice and before making payment. Payment of an invoice constitutes acceptance of the fees and services billed therein.

3. Acceptance of Terms

Client accepts and agrees to be legally bound by this Agreement by affirmatively indicating acceptance in the Firm’s online questionnaire or intake system after being provided access to this Agreement. Such electronic acceptance constitutes the Client’s consent and has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.

In the absence of electronic acceptance, Client’s payment for legal services, request for or receipt of legal services, or continued communication with the Firm for the purpose of requesting or receiving legal services and after being provided access to this Agreement constitutes acceptance of its terms.

If Client does not agree to this Agreement, Client must decline acceptance and must not proceed with requesting or receiving legal services from the Firm.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Firm and Client each waive any claim against the other for ordinary negligence. The total liability of the Firm to the Client, and of the Client to the Firm, for any claim arising out of or relating to the Firm’s services is limited to the total amount paid by the Client to the Firm for the specific matter giving rise to the claim. This limitation does not apply to gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

5. Mediation and Venue

Before filing any lawsuit relating to this Agreement or the Firm’s services, the parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation in Salt Lake County, Utah. If litigation becomes necessary, both parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Salt Lake County, Utah. Each party will bear its own mediation costs; mediator fees will be split equally.
