MTT Terms of Use

(Effective as of 2/25/2019)

Welcome to My Traffic Tickets (MTT), a website and application (the “App”) operated by Ticket Submitters LLC doing business as My Traffic Tickets (the “Company”). The My Traffic Tickets Team is 100% committed to preserving your trust and confidence. Because your privacy is important to us, we will never sell, rent, trade or share your personal information collected on this site except as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

The following Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply when you use the website located at www.mytraffictickets.com (the “Site”) and the App.  The term “Site” is often used in these Terms to refer to both the Site and App.

Please review these Terms carefully.  By accessing or using the Site or App, you show you agree to these Terms.  If you don’t agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Site or App.

ABOUT THE SITE

The Site allows customers who have received traffic tickets to be connected with a traffic ticket lawyer who can represent them, and allows lawyers to be paid via the Site (the “Service”).

The Site allows you to register for the Service. As discussed in our Privacy Policy, when you register for the Service as a potential client of an attorney who uses the platform, you’ll be asked to provide certain information about yourself and your legal matter, such as your name, email, date of birth, phone number, driver’s license type, driver’s license number, a copy of your driver’s license, proof of insurance, home address, and traffic ticket information. Some of this information may be used by your attorney to defend your case.

You agree that this information may be seen by Company employees for support.

You will also be asked to create a password.

Also, please note that the Site is under constant development. New features may be added frequently, so it’s important to check back to this page for updates.

PAID SERVICES

Consumers are charged by lawyers they hire using the Site, with payments made via the Site.

Fees are determined by the lawyers who use the Site, not by the Company. The scope of services provided for the fee is determined by the lawyer and the client, not by the Company The fee charged by a lawyer via the Site does not include a trial or appeal unless otherwise indicated. These are special circumstances that would cost an additional fee, which would be based on the circumstance surrounding the case type. In some cases, cases may be set for a trial without the intention of having a trial, which would be included in the service. The lawyer may also charge an additional fee to the client if a client needs to reset their case, as this is also not included in the basic fee.

This fee is currently collected via Stripe (our “Billing Service Provider”), which has its own legal terms.

If you’re a consumer, you will be required to provide the Company and/or its Billing Service Provider with information regarding your credit card or other payment method. You represent and warrant that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment method.

You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date). You hereby authorize the Company to bill you in accordance with the terms of your plan until you terminate your account, and you agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges you must notify the Company within thirty (30) days after the date that you are billed.

You can terminate your use of the Service, change your password, and otherwise manage your account using the Site and App. You can terminate your account at any time and for any reason.

We reserve the right to change the Company’s fees. If the Company does change its fees, the Company will provide notice of the change on the Site or App or in email to you, at Company’s option, at least 14 days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the fee change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount.

AUTHORIZATION

You understand and accept that your Attorney’s goal is to improve your situation in any way, such as but not limited to dismissals, reductions, deferred disposition, deferred adjudication, defensive driving, fine reductions, and violation amendments.

You authorize your Attorney to accept or decline any and all plea bargains on your behalf that he/she feels is the best outcome for your particular circumstance. You also understand, accept, and authorize your attorney to withdraw from representing you if you fail to communicate, reply, or adhere to any requests made by your Attorney.

REFUNDS

We do not offer cash refunds to consumers if any legal work has already been done on a case. If we do decide to issue a refund, it will be issued in the form of a credit for any future cases.

If you feel you were charged in error, please contact [email protected].
