Last Updated: August 26, 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of https://adamhoodlaw.com/ (the “Site”), operated by Adam L. Hood, P.A. (“we,” “us,” or “our”), including any text messaging services we offer. By accessing the Site or opting in to receive text messages from us, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
1. No Attorney-Client Relationship; Not Legal Advice
The content on this Site is provided for general informational purposes only and is not legal advice. Viewing the Site, submitting a form, sending an email, or exchanging text messages with us does not create an attorney-client relationship, and we are not your lawyers unless and until we sign a written engagement agreement with you.
We do, however, owe certain duties to prospective clients under Rule 4-1.18 of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar. If you consult with us about the possibility of forming a relationship, information you share may be treated as confidential even if we never represent you.
Even so, please do not send us detailed or sensitive information about your matter before we have confirmed in writing that we can review it. Unsolicited information may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege, may not prevent us from representing another party in the same or a related matter, and may not be reviewed before a deadline passes. Do not rely on this Site or on any communication through it to preserve a legal right.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. This Site constitutes attorney advertising under the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar.
2. Permitted Use
You may use the Site for lawful purposes only, and only in the manner these Terms allow. You are responsible for any activity conducted through your access to the Site.
3. Prohibited Conduct
You agree that you will not:
• Use the Site or any of its features to send SPAM, unsolicited bulk messages, chain letters, or other unauthorized commercial communications
• Use the Site for any illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise unethical purpose
• Submit false, misleading, or impersonating information, including submitting a mobile number you are not authorized to use
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, our systems, or any accounts, or interfere with or disrupt the Site’s operation or security
• Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code, or attempt to upload executable files or malicious content through any form on the Site
• Submit repeated, automated, or abusive form submissions, or attempt to use our forms or email delivery systems to relay messages to third parties
• Attempt to circumvent, disable, or probe the Site’s firewall, rate limiting, login protection, or spam filtering
• Use automated tools such as bots, scrapers, or crawlers to harvest data, including contact information, from the Site
• Copy, reproduce, republish, or redistribute Site content except as permitted in Section 7
• Use the Site or our messaging services in violation of any applicable law or regulation, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the CAN-SPAM Act, or carrier messaging policies
We may suspend or terminate access to the Site or our messaging services for any violation of these Terms.
4. Text Messaging Terms (SMS/MMS)
Program description. Adam L. Hood, P.A. offers a text messaging program that allows clients and prospective clients to receive service-related messages, including appointment reminders and confirmations, case status and matter updates, document and information requests, billing and payment notices, and responses to inquiries you initiate.
Service messages only. This program is used solely to communicate with existing clients and with people who have contacted us first or asked to hear from us. We do not use it to solicit professional employment from prospective clients who have not requested contact.
Consent. By providing your mobile number and opting in — through our intake or contact form, an engagement agreement, a written request, or by texting us first — you consent to receive text messages from us at that number, including messages sent using an automatic telephone dialing system. Consent is not a condition of purchase or of retaining our services. You represent that you are the subscriber or customary user of the number you provide, and that you will notify us if that number changes or is reassigned.
Message frequency. Message frequency varies based on your matter and your interactions with us.
Cost. Message and data rates may apply. Consult your mobile carrier’s plan for details. We are not responsible for charges imposed by your carrier.
Opting out. You may cancel at any time by replying STOP to any message from us. After you send STOP, we will send one message confirming your opt-out, and you will receive no further texts from that program. To rejoin, opt in again using any of the methods above.
Help. For assistance, reply HELP to any message, or contact us at (850) 215-9147 or [email protected].
Supported carriers. Message delivery is subject to carrier support and availability. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Privacy. Information collected through this program is handled as described in our Privacy Policy (https://adamhoodlaw.com/privacy). We do not share mobile information or text messaging opt-in data with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
Security. Text messages are not a secure or confidential channel. Do not send sensitive, privileged, or confidential information by text.
5. Communications and Submissions
Any information you submit through the Site is subject to our Privacy Policy (https://adamhoodlaw.com/privacy). We do not guarantee that emails, form submissions, or text messages will be received, reviewed, or responded to within any particular timeframe.
The Site uses automated security and spam filtering. These systems may block, delay, or discard a submission, including a legitimate one, without notifying you or us. Delivery of any electronic message also depends on networks and providers outside our control.
Do not rely on this Site, email, or text message for any urgent matter or any matter subject to a statute of limitations, court deadline, or other time limit. If your matter is time-sensitive, telephone us at (850) 215-9147 and confirm that we received your communication.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Site uses cookies, analytics tags, and security tools, which are described in detail in Section 5 of our Privacy Policy (https://adamhoodlaw.com/privacy). The Site does not use advertising pixels, retargeting tags, or conversion-tracking tools from any advertising network. By continuing to use the Site after setting your cookie preferences, you consent to the use of the categories you have accepted. You may change your preferences at any time using the “Cookie Preferences” link in our footer.
7. Intellectual Property
All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, images, and software — is owned by Adam L. Hood, P.A. or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may view and print Site content for your own personal, non-commercial use. Any other use requires our prior written permission.
8. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We provide these for convenience only and do not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for their content, products, or practices. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that the content is accurate, complete, or current.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Adam L. Hood, P.A. AND ITS ATTORNEYS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THIS SITE OR OF THE TEXT MESSAGING PROGRAM DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
This section applies only to your use of the Site and the messaging program. It does not apply to the provision of legal services. Nothing in these Terms limits, waives, or otherwise affects any liability, duty, or obligation arising from our representation of a client or prospective client, or arising under the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar. We do not prospectively limit our liability to a client for malpractice.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Adam L. Hood, P.A. and its attorneys, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your misuse of the Site, your violation of Section 3 of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party in connection with the Site.
This obligation is limited to your conduct as a Site user. It does not apply to any client or prospective client in that capacity, and it creates no obligation relating to our representation of you.
12. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Bay County, Florida, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on this page with a new “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the Site or our messaging services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
14. Severability and Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site.
