FORM AND TEMPLATE TERMS OF USE AND DISCLAIMER
AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ESTATE LIQUIDATORS LLC
Effective August 14, 2026
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY DISCLAIM WARRANTIES, LIMIT ASEL’S LIABILITY, SET A DEADLINE FOR BRINGING ANY CLAIM, AND INCLUDE A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.
1. Not Legal Advice; No Attorney-Client Relationship
American Society of Estate Liquidators LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“ASEL”), is not a law firm and does not practice law, render legal advice, or act as an attorney for any person. No officer, sole member, employee, contractor, or representative of ASEL is acting as your attorney. Purchasing, downloading, or using this form does not create an attorney-client relationship, and no communication with ASEL concerning this form is confidential or protected by the attorney-client privilege.
As used in these terms, “ASEL Parties” means ASEL and its sole member, managers, officers, employees, agents, and contractors (in their capacity as such, and not any dues-paying member of ASEL), and ASEL’s successors and assigns (each, an “ASEL Party”). Every disclaimer, limitation, and exclusion set forth below applies equally to ASEL and to each of the ASEL Parties.
2. Template Only; Consult Your Attorney
This document is a template form provided solely as a basis for discussion with your own attorney. The laws of each state and jurisdiction are different, as are the individual circumstances of each estate liquidator, and no form can take into account all such laws and circumstances. YOU ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT A LICENSED ATTORNEY IN YOUR JURISDICTION BEFORE USING THIS FORM so that the form may be reviewed, revised, modified, or replaced to take into account the laws of your jurisdiction, your goals and circumstances, and any other matter that you or your attorney may identify.
3. No Warranty
ASEL DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THIS FORM, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF VALIDITY, ENFORCEABILITY, LEGAL SUFFICIENCY, COMPLIANCE WITH ANY LAW, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS FORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND THE USE OF THIS FORM IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
No ASEL Party is authorized to make, and you may not rely upon, any warranty, representation, or guarantee concerning this form beyond what is stated here in writing. Statements made in advertising, on ASEL’s website, in course materials, in correspondence, or orally by any representative of ASEL do not create any warranty.
4. No Duty to Update
This form reflects ASEL’s materials as of the date of purchase. Laws change. ASEL has no obligation to update this form, to notify you of any change in law, or to advise you that the form has become outdated or unenforceable.
5. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE ASEL PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST BUSINESS, OR LOST DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS FORM, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF ASEL HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE ASEL PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS FORM SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID ASEL FOR THIS FORM, OR (B) FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500.00). This cap is aggregate and not per claim, and multiple claims do not enlarge it. Neither this Section nor the exclusion above applies to a claim for compensatory damages for bodily injury caused by ASEL’s own negligence.
6. Time Limit for Bringing Claims
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS FORM MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM ACCRUES, OR IT IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. This Section does not apply to a claim for compensatory damages for bodily injury caused by ASEL’s own negligence, or to any claim that applicable law does not permit to be shortened by agreement, and does not extend any limitations period that is shorter under applicable law.
7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the ASEL Parties from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to your use of this form, including any claim asserted by your client, customer, vendor, or any other third party.
8. License and Restrictions
Subject to your compliance with these terms, ASEL grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use and adapt this form in the operation of your own estate liquidation business. You may not resell, sublicense, publish, distribute, share, or otherwise make this form available to any third party, and you may not translate, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse engineer it. You agree to protect this form from unauthorized use, upload, download, reproduction, or distribution. All right, title, and interest in and to this form, including all copyrights, remain with ASEL.
9. Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue; Jury Waiver
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any action, suit, claim, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this form shall be brought exclusively in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Warren County, or in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. You irrevocably consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection based on lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or inconvenient forum.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND ASEL EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS FORM. Each party acknowledges that the right to a trial by jury is a constitutional right it is giving up, that this waiver is mutual, and that each party has had the opportunity to consult counsel of its own choosing.
10. Your State’s Law; Savings
If the law of your state prohibits or restricts any warranty exclusion, limitation, or shortened limitations period set forth above, that provision does not apply to you to the extent prohibited, and the liability of the ASEL Parties is instead limited, and any limitations period shortened, to the greatest extent your state’s law permits. All other provisions of these terms continue to apply to you in full. The provisions of these terms are intended to be, and ASEL believes them to be, enforceable under New Jersey law, and no provision of these terms is void, unenforceable, or inapplicable in New Jersey except as expressly stated herein.
Nothing in these terms operates to limit or exclude any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, willful misconduct, or any duty imposed by statute that may not be disclaimed by agreement. If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
11. Entire Agreement
These terms, together with ASEL’s Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Limitation of Liability, and General Warranty Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement concerning this form and supersede all prior understandings on that subject. In the event of a conflict between these terms and ASEL’s Limitation of Liability with respect to this form, these terms govern.
BY PURCHASING, DOWNLOADING, OR USING THIS FORM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS.
