TitleDash Terms of Service

1. TitleDash is not a law firm

TitleDash is not a law firm and does not practice law. TitleDash gives no legal advice and issues no legal opinions, title opinions or certificates of title.

2. Nonlawyer assistant engagement and attorney supervision

The subscribing attorney engages TitleDash as a nonlawyer assistant. The attorney supervises the work, gives the instructions for each search (search period, names, special concerns), reviews every Title Search Abstract, and keeps sole responsibility for any title opinion or certification to a title insurer.

TitleDash staff do not communicate legal conclusions to clients, lenders or insurers.

3. Access to search notes and images

The attorney may access the search notes, search log and copies of all instruments and images gathered for each file through the attorney's account.

4. Confidentiality and data

TitleDash keeps client and file information confidential and uses it only to perform the requested search services. Files are stored in private storage and available only to the requesting attorney's account.

Identity data is minimized: only the last four digits of a Social Security number are ever recorded, and images are redacted. Identity data is deleted after the retention period the attorney selects for each file.

5. Scope and limitations; no third-party reliance

Every Title Search Abstract states its scope (indices, names and period searched, effective date and time) and its limitations. Matters outside the stated scope are not covered.

No third party may rely on a Title Search Abstract except through the subscribing attorney.

6. Liability cap and insurance

[PLACEHOLDER — liability cap to be set by counsel, e.g. fees paid for the affected file.]

[PLACEHOLDER — errors and omissions (E&O) insurance carrier and limits.]

7. Fees

Tokens are fees for clerical search services, not legal fees. TitleDash does not share legal fees with any attorney and makes or accepts no referral payments.
