Legal Disclaimer

Last updated: June 22, 2026

1. No Legal Advice

All content on subcontractorsdemandchange.com (the "Platform") — including the Contract Defender software, the non-payment registry, the newsletter, sample clauses, state-law summaries, and any analysis, redline, suggestion, score, or document the Platform produces — is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice and must not be relied upon as legal advice. Laws differ by state and change over time, and how they apply depends on facts specific to your situation that our tools do not and cannot know.

2. We Are Not Attorneys; No Attorney-Client Relationship

Subcontractors Demand Change LLC is not a law firm, is not a lawyer, and does not practice law or provide legal services. No employee, contractor, owner, or representative of the company is acting as your attorney. Your use of the Platform does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the company or anyone associated with it, and nothing you submit and nothing the Platform produces is protected by the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work-product doctrine. If you need legal advice, consult a licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction.

3. Contract Defender Is a Software Tool

Contract Defender® is proprietary, patent-pending software. It flags clauses that may put you at risk and suggests protective language for your review, based on general construction-payment principles and a database of state statutes. It does not make legal judgments for you, does not decide what is or is not enforceable in your specific matter, and is not a substitute for review by a licensed attorney. Its output may contain errors or omissions, may not reflect current law, and may not fit your facts. The final responsibility for any contract — and for any change to it — rests entirely with you and your own attorney. Do not sign, send, or rely on any contract or any suggested language without first having a licensed attorney review it.

4. No Warranty; Accuracy Not Guaranteed

The Platform and everything it produces are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that any analysis, summary, suggestion, or output is accurate, complete, current, lawful, or suitable for your purpose, or that any suggested language will be effective or enforceable. State construction, lien, prompt-payment, notice, and licensing laws vary widely and change frequently, and some state-law information is researched by our software and may be pending attorney verification. You use the Platform, and rely on its output, entirely at your own risk.

5. Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for your own decisions and for compliance with every law that applies to you — including lien rights, prompt-payment requirements, notice and filing deadlines, and licensing. Before signing any contract, submitting any report, or relying on anything from the Platform, consult a licensed attorney in the relevant state. You are responsible for independently verifying any information and for any action you take, or do not take, based on the Platform.

6. The Public Non-Payment Registry

Reports in the public registry are submitted by users, not by us. We do not author, investigate, verify, or endorse them. Each reporting member is solely responsible for the accuracy, truthfulness, good faith, and lawfulness of what they submit. We act as a neutral host of user-submitted content. See our Terms of Service for the full allocation of responsibility, which places liability for reports on the reporting member.

7. Newsletter and Educational Content

Our newsletter, sample clauses, and educational materials are general information and templates, not advice tailored to your situation. A sample or "protective" clause may not be appropriate, enforceable, or sufficient for your contract or your state. Have a licensed attorney review and adapt any language before you use it.

8. No Guarantee of Outcomes

We make no promise or guarantee about any result — including whether you will be paid, whether any clause will hold up, or how any dispute will be resolved. Nothing on the Platform is a prediction or guarantee of any legal or financial outcome.

9. Relationship to Our Other Terms

This Legal Disclaimer is part of, and is incorporated into, our Terms of Service and is subject to our Privacy Policy. If there is any conflict between this page and the Terms of Service regarding the limits on legal advice, warranties, or liability, the Terms of Service control.
