These Terms of Service govern your use of the website at northstarforensicconsulting.com (the “Site”), operated by NorthStar Forensic Consulting LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“NorthStar,” “we,” or “us”). By using the Site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. What the Site is for
The Site provides general information about NorthStar’s services and allows you to contact us and book an initial consultation. Information on the Site is general and educational. It is not a professional opinion about any specific case, and it is not legal or medical advice.
2. No client relationship through the Site
Using the Site, submitting a contact form, or booking a consultation does not create a client relationship with NorthStar or any of its consultants. A client relationship begins only when you and NorthStar sign a written engagement agreement. The initial consultation is governed by a separate consultation agreement, which you will be asked to accept before the consultation.
3. What NorthStar does and does not do
NorthStar provides forensic consulting, independent review of existing case records, expert testimony, and training. NorthStar is not a private investigation agency or a law enforcement agency. It does not investigate cases, interview witnesses, collect or handle evidence, perform autopsies, determine cause or manner of death, or provide legal advice or medical diagnoses. Opinions on medical questions are given only by NorthStar’s forensic pathologist, and only under a signed engagement agreement.
4. Information you send us
Please do not send case records, photographs, or confidential legal strategy through the Site. We will ask for the information we need after completing a conflict check. Information you provide through the Site is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
5. Consultations booked through the Site
The initial consultation fee is $300. Before you pay, we will complete a conflict check. If a conflict prevents NorthStar from assisting you, your payment will be refunded in full. Payments are processed by a third-party payment provider, and NorthStar does not store your full payment card information.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Site to break the law, to interfere with the Site’s operation or security, to submit false or misleading information, or to send unsolicited advertising.
7. Ownership of Site content
The Site’s text, graphics, and other content belong to NorthStar or its licensors. You may view and print Site content for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish, or distribute it for any other purpose without our written permission.
8. Third-party services and links
The Site uses third-party services, such as scheduling and payment providers, and may link to third-party websites. Those services and websites are governed by their own terms, and NorthStar is not responsible for their content or practices.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The Site and its content are provided “as is.” To the extent permitted by law, NorthStar makes no warranties about the Site, including that it will be available without interruption or that its general information is complete or current.
10. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, NorthStar is not liable for any indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site. This section applies only to use of the Site. It does not limit any rights or obligations under a consultation agreement or engagement agreement, which are governed by the terms of those agreements.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by Minnesota law. Any dispute about these terms or the Site will be resolved in the state courts located in Anoka County, Minnesota, or the federal courts for the District of Minnesota.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top shows when they were last changed. Changes apply to your use of the Site after they are posted.
