Attorney Lookup & Court Directory Terms of Use

Effective date: January 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and DocketFusion LLC (“DocketFusion,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the DocketFusion Attorney Lookup and Court Directory (cumulatively referred to as the “Directory”). Effective date: January 1, 2026.

BY CLICKING “I AGREE,” OR BY ACCESSING OR USING THE ATTORNEY LOOKUP OR DIRECTORY IN ANY WAY, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Directory.

If you use the Directory on behalf of a firm, agency, court, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and “you” includes that organization.

2. What the Attorney Lookup & Directory Are

The Directory is a free, informational compilation of attorney information, court names, addresses, telephone numbers, websites, and related contact information. It is compiled from publicly available sources, from information submitted by users, and from other sources we believe to be reliable.

The Directory is provided solely as a general convenience and starting point. It is not an official publication of any court, agency, or government body, and DocketFusion is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any court or government entity unless expressly stated.

3. Accuracy of Information; No Reliance

We make reasonable efforts to keep the Directory accurate and current. However, court information changes frequently and often without public notice, including contact information, courtrooms, judicial assignments, addresses, telephone numbers, websites, hours, filing procedures, and contact personnel. As a result, information in the Directory may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate at any given time.

YOU MUST NOT RELY ON THE DIRECTORY. The Directory is not a substitute for confirming information directly with the applicable court or official source. Before taking any action, including appearing for a hearing, filing or serving a document, calling a court, or meeting any deadline, you are solely responsible for independently verifying all information with the court or other official source.

You acknowledge that any reliance you place on the Directory is strictly at your own risk. We do not guarantee that errors will be corrected, or corrected within any particular time, even after an error is reported to us.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE DIRECTORY AND ALL INFORMATION IN IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DOCKETFUSION DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

DOCKETFUSION DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE DIRECTORY WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECT OR ERROR WILL BE CORRECTED.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER DOCKETFUSION LLC NOR ANY OF ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “DOCKETFUSION PARTIES”) SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE DIRECTORY, ITS CONTENT, OR YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF, OR RELIANCE ON IT.

This exclusion applies to all damages and losses of every kind, whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive, including without limitation:

  • a missed, late, or defective court appearance, filing, service, or deadline;
  • default, dismissal, sanctions, adverse rulings, or any other effect on the outcome of a legal matter;
  • lost profits, fees, revenue, data, goodwill, or opportunity;
  • travel, time, or other costs incurred in reliance on Directory information.

This exclusion applies regardless of the legal theory asserted, whether contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute, or otherwise, and even if a DocketFusion Party was advised of the possibility of such damages.

If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any DocketFusion Party is found liable for any reason, the total aggregate liability of all DocketFusion Parties combined shall not exceed the greater of the amount you paid DocketFusion to use the Directory (which is $0 for free access) or one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the DocketFusion Parties’ liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

7. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the DocketFusion Parties from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, arising out of or relating to (a) your use of or reliance on the Directory, (b) any information you submit, or (c) your violation of these Terms or of any law or the rights of any third party.

8. Corrections, Submissions, and Claimed Listings

You may suggest corrections or submit information for the Directory. By doing so, you represent that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to submit it. You grant DocketFusion a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, and display any submission in connection with the Directory and DocketFusion’s services.

We may review, edit, accept, or reject any submission in our sole discretion and are under no obligation to act on it. Submitted information is not verified by DocketFusion unless expressly indicated, and the no-reliance terms in Section 3 apply equally to user-submitted content.

If you claim a listing, you agree to keep it accurate and current, and your claim may be subject to verification and to additional DocketFusion account terms. We may revoke a claim at any time, including if we cannot verify your authority over the listing.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • submit information you know to be false, misleading, or submitted in bad faith;
  • claim or attempt to claim a listing you are not authorized to control;
  • scrape, harvest, bulk-download, or systematically copy the Directory, or use automated means to access it, without our written permission;
  • republish, resell, or commercially exploit the Directory or any substantial part of it;
  • interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Directory or its systems.

10. General Terms

Third-party links. The Directory links to court and other third-party websites that we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, or practices.

Ownership. The Directory’s compilation, design, software, and branding are owned by DocketFusion and protected by law. Underlying public facts remain public; these Terms do not claim ownership of them.

Changes. We may modify these Terms or the Directory, or suspend or discontinue the Directory, at any time without notice. Continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Termination. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, for any reason. Sections 3 through 8 and this Section 10 survive termination.

Governing law and venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Michigan, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

Severability; entire agreement. If any provision is held unenforceable, it shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remainder shall stay in effect. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and DocketFusion regarding the Directory. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.
