After you purchase your SimpleClient subscription, you will be asked to create login credentials (username and password) for all attorneys, assistants, and staff who will use SimpleClient. Credentials are unique to each user; sharing of user credentials or use of staff or assistant credentials by an attorney will result in termination of your SimpleClient account.

You agree to keep your payment information up to date.
Cancellation and Termination
You may cancel your SimpleClient subscription at any time using the cancellation method within your account dashboard. Upon cancellation, we will charge you for per-intake fees accrued as of the cancellation date, minus a pro-rated portion of the per-attorney fees you have paid for the then-current month. Per-intake fees are non-refundable, and any free intake credits you may have at cancellation may not be redeemed for cash or otherwise credited to your account.
We may terminate your SimpleClient account and all subscriptions if we have reason to believe your use of SimpleClient or Client Information (i) is in violation of any term of this Agreement, or (ii) is in violation of any law or regulation. We may, but are not obligated to, notify you prior to termination of your account.
