Terms of Service
1. Introduction.
1.1. Effective Date. The effective date of this Agreement is December 1, 2017. Last Updated: These Terms of Service were last updated on August 21, 2023.
1.2. Agreement. Welcome to Sellers International LLC doing business as Quimbee (“Quimbee” or “Company”) recommends that you read the following terms and conditions carefully. By accessing or using the Quimbee website, the Quimbee Service, including any software applications made available by Quimbee, such as the Quimbee mobile device application (together, the “Website” or “Service”), however accessed or used, you agree to be bound by these terms (the “Terms of Service” or the “Agreement”). By clicking on the “Start My FREE Trial” button, or otherwise making use of the Website or Service, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, constituting a legally binding contract between Quimbee and you concerning your use of the Service. We encourage you to print this Agreement or save it to your computer for reference. As used in these Terms and unless separately identified as applicable to either an individual or entity, “you” and “your” refer to both you individually and the entity on behalf of which you are entering into these Terms.
1.3. User Types. This Agreement may apply to you individually (“Personal User”), the business or other legal entity you represent (“Entity User”), or both. As further described in Section 7, either a Personal User or an Entity User may also be a Group Manager, if such individual or entity registers a Group (defined in Section 7), or a Group User, if such individual is receiving access to the Service as part of a Group. If you are a Personal User receiving access to the Service through a Group, you acknowledge that your rights herein may be subject to the Group remaining authorized to access and use the Service. If you are using the Website or Services or otherwise entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity (i.e., an Entity User), you hereby represent and warrant that you have the authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the Entity User. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are an Entity User that has a separate agreement with us, such separate agreement shall govern in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the other agreement. However, if an Entity User has a separate agreement with us for certain Services but not other Services, this Agreement shall govern such other Services that are not already governed by a separate agreement with Quimbee. Additionally, if you are a natural person using the Website or Services on behalf of a company or other legal entity or as a user under an Entity User’s agreement with us, you (as a Personal User) are nevertheless individually bound by this Agreement even if your company has a separate agreement with us. As used in this Agreement and unless separately identified as applicable to either a Personal User or Entity User only, “you” and “your” refer to both you individually (Personal User) and, to the extent this Agreement applies, the company on behalf of which you are entering into this Agreement (i.e., Entity User).
1.4. Paid Software and Content. In addition to this Website, Quimbee provides paid-for software as a service, along with legal-education content. Additional terms apply to your use of this software and content. See Section 7 (Software as a Service) for full details.
1.5. Separate Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you have read and understood, and agree to be bound by, this Agreement and Sellers International LLC’s Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”), which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The Privacy Policy is available at https://www.quimbee.com/about/privacy.
1.5.1. Monitoring. You acknowledge that Quimbee reserves the right to, and may from time to time, monitor any and all information transmitted or received through the Quimbee Website and Services. Quimbee, at its sole discretion and without further notice to you, may (but is not obligated to) review, censor, or prohibit the transmission or receipt of any information which Quimbee deems inappropriate or that violates any term or condition of this agreement. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied, and used for authorized purposes. Use of the Quimbee Service, authorized or unauthorized, constitutes consent to such monitoring.
1.6. No Permission Without Agreement. If you do not understand this Agreement, or do not agree to be bound by it or by the Privacy Policy, you may not access or use the Service, and you must immediately stop accessing or using the Service.
1.7. Arbitration and Remedies. These terms contain a mandatory arbitration-of-disputes provision that requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limits the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute. See Section 21 (Dispute Resolution) for full details.
2. Privacy Policy.
By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of certain information about you, as specified in the Privacy Policy discussed in Section 1.5 (Separate Privacy Policy). Quimbee encourages users of the Service to frequently check the Privacy Policy for changes.
3. Changes to Agreement and Privacy Policy.
Internet technology and the applicable laws, rules, and regulations change frequently. Quimbee reserves the right to change this Agreement or its Privacy Policy at any time. It is your responsibility to review this Agreement and the Privacy Policy periodically. If at any time you find this Agreement or the Privacy Policy unacceptable, you must immediately stop accessing the Service.
4. Eligibility.
4.1. By accessing and/or using the Service, including by doing so after accessing this Agreement, you represent and warrant that you: (1) are at least 18 years old; (2) are not currently restricted from the Services and are not otherwise prohibited from having an account related thereto; (3) will only maintain one account at any given time; (4) will only provide accurate information to Quimbee; (5) have full power and authority to enter into these Terms of Service and doing so will not violate any other agreement to which you are a party; and (6) will not violate any rights of Quimbee or a third party. You assume all responsibility for your use of, and access to, the Services. Accounts are for a single user, company or other legal entity, as applicable. Any multiple-party use, other than individual use on behalf of a company or other legal entity, is prohibited. For example, sharing a login between non-entity individual users is prohibited.
4.2. Entity Use. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an Entity User, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to act and enter into contracts on behalf of that Entity User.
4.3. No Use of Service for the Benefit of a Competitor. By using or accessing the Service, you represent and warrant that you are utilizing the Service solely to prepare for a bar examination (to be taken in pursuit of professional licensure as an attorney at law), for study in an academic program administered by an institution of higher learning (e.g., law school or a paralegal program), or for personal enrichment, and not for the benefit of any competitor of Quimbee. A competitor is a person or organization engaged in a similar line of business to any in which Quimbee regularly engages. Examples include BarBri, Kaplan, Themis, BarMax, Ameribar, Adaptibar, Crushendo, casebriefs.com, Emanuel Law Outlines, Gilbert Law Outlines, and similar enterprises.
5. No Attorney-Client Relationship.
While Company provides training materials and software for legal education, Company is not a law firm. You agree that neither this Agreement nor any other forms provided on our Sites constitute an attorney-client relationship between you, on the one hand, and Company or its staff on the other.
6. License.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms of Service, as well as any separate agreement you enter into with Company, Company grants Personal User and Group Users (defined in Section 7 below) a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Company websites (located at the following URLs: https://www.quimbee.com/), and to use the Service, including the mobile application: (a) in the case of Personal Users, for your own personal use only, and (b) for Group Users, for your own personal use and to administer the Group. This license is revocable, and you may not sub-license it. Except for the foregoing limited license, all rights in the Service are reserved by Company. Except as expressly authorized herein, no part of the Service, including the Website or mobile application, may be reproduced, duplicated, copied, modified, sold, resold, distributed, transmitted, performed, displayed, stored, or exploited for any purpose without the prior express written consent of Company. Without limitation, this Agreement grants you no rights to the intellectual property of Company, any Licensor of Company, or any other party, except as expressly stated in this Agreement. The license granted in this section is conditioned on your compliance with this Agreement. Your rights under this section will immediately terminate if, in the sole judgment of Company, you have breached any provision of this Agreement.
7. Software as a Service; Types of Users.
Company provides software as a service and legal-education content (together, the “SaaS”, which is a part of the “Service”). The SaaS includes, but is not limited to: case briefs, case brief videos, multiple-choice questions, essay practice exams, subject-matter outlines, online courses comprised of related video lessons, flashcards, various materials to prepare for various states' bar examinations, continuing legal education (CLE) courses, and similar content.
7.1. Individual Users. Personal Users may sign up for the SaaS through the Website. Personal Users agree to be bound by this Agreement, Company’s Privacy Policy, and any additional terms displayed during the signup process.
7.2. Entity Users. Entity Users, such as law firms and law schools, may agree to a separate contract governing their and their users access and use of the SaaS (to the extent applicable, an “Institutional Agreement”). The Institutional Agreement, if applicable, complements this Agreement, the Company’s Privacy Policy, and any additional terms displayed during the signup process, but if there is any conflict between agreements, the terms of the Institutional Agreement shall prevail. Personal Users who access the SaaS or other parts of the Service pursuant to an Institutional Agreement are also bound individually by this Agreement and Company’s Privacy Policy. Entity Users will also be deemed to be Group Managers, as further described below.
7.2.1. Personal Users’ Access to Other Quimbee Products. Entity Users understand and agree that Personal Users with access to the SaaS under an Institutional Agreement may choose to access Quimbee features and services other than those specifically included in the SaaS under the Institutional Agreement, such as by purchasing Quimbee products not included under the Institutional Agreement (e.g., Quimbee Bar Review or Quimbee CLE products) or making use of free features such as Questions and Answers or Class Pages. Entity Users may not prohibit Personal Users from purchasing additional products at their own expense or making use of additional features not included under the Institutional Agreement. Entity Users agree that if they choose to cancel their Institutional Agreement, Quimbee may communicate the cancellation to Personal Users with access under the Institutional Agreement. Further, Entity Users agree that Personal Users who had access under an Institutional Agreement may retain their data and reactivate their accounts on individual subscription plans after the Entity User’s access terminates.
7.3. Groups.
7.3.1. Groups. The Service enables you to sign-up or register for the Service as a group (“Group”), where your registration provides access to the Service to more than one Personal User (“Group Users”). Groups will be named after the Group Manager (e.g., John Smith’s Group). A single Group Manager may create only one Group; Group Managers seeking to create additional Groups must contact Company for prior approval. Groups may be created only for Group Users at the same law school, organization, or entity, and must share a .edu email domain. Groups may not be created for Group Users from different law schools, organizations, or entities; Group Users with different email domains; or Group Users without a .edu email domain, without prior approval from Company. If you are creating a Group on behalf of a law school or other organization or entity, please contact support to verify and have the Group’s name updated to that of your school, organization, or entity. Any reduction in the number of authorized Group Users shall not take effect until the subsequent billing cycle. A Group must have at least two (2) Group Users.
7.3.2. Group Managers. Either Personal Users or Entity Users are able to register a Group, and such Personal User or User Entity shall be deemed a “Group Manager” under these terms, in addition to being a Personal User or Entity User, as applicable. Group Managers are responsible for the fees owed by the Group. The Group Manager is responsible for administering the Group, which means managing billing and payment methods, selecting the Group’s subscription plan, and adding or removing Group Users within the Group. A Group can only have one Group Manager, and the Group Manager is counted as a Group Users with respect to counting the total number of Group Users within the Group. Other than the Group Manager, Group Users cannot administer the Group and only have access to content and features that the Group Manager has selected for the Group. Device limits apply to all Group Users.
7.3.3. Personal Users Access to Other Quimbee Products. Group Managers understand and agree that Personal Users with access to the SaaS under a Group subscription plan may choose to access Quimbee features and services other than those specifically included in Group subscription plan, such as by purchasing Quimbee products not included under the Institutional Agreement (e.g., Quimbee Bar Review or Quimbee CLE products) or making use of free features such as Questions and Answers or Class Pages. Group Managers may not prohibit Personal Users from purchasing additional products at their own expense or making use of additional features not included under the Group subscription plan.
7.3.4 Prohibition on Resale. You may not sell, resell, sublease, assign, license, sublicense, or share Group seats. By "sell" or "resell," we mean that you may not purchase Group seats and then offer those group seats for sale. A seat is the right of an individual Group User to utilize the Service under a Group Plan. For example, a Group Manager may not purchase seats for $77 per user per year and then offer to sell those seats to Group Users for $100 per user per year. This prohibition on resale is not intended to prohibit a Group Manager from collecting payments from the Group Users for the sole purpose of reimbursement. For purposes of this section, "reimbursement" means repayment of the actual per-seat cost, plus sales tax and processing fees. Any payment above actual cost constitutes resale and is prohibited.
7.4. Software Updates. One major benefit of SaaS is that Company’s software is continually updated. To deliver this benefit, Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to update, modify, or remove features, functionality, or other aspects of its SaaS at any time. You must accept all software updates to ensure the benefit of the Services.
7.5. Downtime. While Company takes commercially reasonable measures to keep its SaaS continuously available, the SaaS may be subject to unscheduled downtime. This Agreement does not include a Service Level Agreement; see also Section 18.1 (No Warranties). In addition, Company may take the SaaS offline briefly for occasional maintenance. Company will notify subscribers of these scheduled downtimes in advance.
8. No Reliance on Third Party Content.
8.1. Opinions, advice, statements, or other information made available through the Service by third parties are those of their respective authors, and should not necessarily be relied upon. Those authors are solely responsible for their content. Company does not: (i) guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any third-party information accessible on or through the Service; or (ii) adopt, endorse, or accept responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, or statement made by a third party through the Service. Under no circumstances will Company be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from your reliance on information or other content posted through the Service transmitted to or by any third party.
8.2. Some users who post content are members of legal and other licensed professions (collectively, “Professional Contributors”). Content posted by Professional Contributors should not be relied on as a substitute for advice from a professional that is appropriate for your specific situation. Ethics rules differ by state or location, and it is the responsibility of Professional Contributors to determine and provide disclaimers appropriate for their profession and the content provided.
9. Assumption of Risk; Release.
You knowingly and freely assume all risk when using the Service. You, on behalf of yourself, your personal representatives, and your heirs, voluntarily agree to release, waive, discharge, hold harmless, defend, and indemnify Sellers International LLC and its stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, consultants, representatives, sub-licensees, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Company Parties”) from any and all claims, actions, or losses for bodily injury, property damage, wrongful death, emotional distress, loss of privacy, or other damages or harm, whether to you or to third parties, that may result from your use of the Service.
10. User Account, Accuracy, and Security.
10.1. User Account. To use the Service, you must register and create a user account (“Account”). An individual is permitted to create only one Account. During the Account-creation process, you will be asked to provide information that personally identifies you (“Personal Information”). If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an Entity User, you may also be required to provide information about such entity.
10.2. Account Information Accuracy. You represent and warrant that all user information you provide in connection with your Account and your use of the Service is current, complete, and accurate, and you agree that you will update that information as necessary to maintain its completeness and accuracy by updating your personal Profile, or by submitting a message through the following webpage: https://www.quimbee.com/contact. It is your responsibility to keep your account and profile information accurate and updated. We are not responsible for any disputes or claims related to any inaccurate, incomplete, or untimely information provided by you to us. You agree that you will not submit any fake content (including without limitation any Account, username, likeness, or Profile) to willfully and credibly impersonate another person, whether actual or fictitious. As a non-exhaustive example, you agree that you will not upload a Profile image that is another person’s likeness. If Company believes in its sole discretion that the information you provide is not current, complete, or accurate, Company has the right to refuse you access to the Service, or to terminate or suspend your access at any time, or both. For additional information, see the Section concerning “User Ability to Access, Update, and Correct Personal Information” in Company’s Privacy Policy.
10.3. No Pseudonyms. You must use your real name on Quimbee; pseudonyms are not allowed. Any use of a pseudonym violates Section 10.2 (Account Information Accuracy) and is cause for suspension or deletion of your Account. No refunds will be issued in such cases.
10.4. Account Security. You will also be asked to provide a username, password, and possibly other information to secure your Account. You may access your Account on up to two devices (e.g., a laptop and a tablet). Should you attempt to access your Account on a third device, you will be asked to provide a phone number. We will send you a security code via SMS message, which you must enter to verify your identity. You must then deauthorize one of your previous devices before you may access your Account on a third device. (Please note that if you access your Account from two different web browsers, each web browser will be treated as a separate device.) You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account's security information, including your password. You may not use the username or password of any other person, nor may you share your username and password, nor may you circumvent any authentication mechanism requiring the entry of usernames, passwords, or any other information to gain unauthorized access to the Service. You agree to notify Company immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. Company shall not be liable for any loss that you incur because of someone else using your Account, either with or without your knowledge. You may be held liable for any losses incurred by Company, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, and representatives due to someone else’s use of your Account.
10.5. Free Trial. Only one free trial is permitted per person. You may not create additional Accounts (such as through the use of pseudonyms and alternate email accounts) for purposes of claiming additional free trials. Company reserves the right to terminate service to anyone who violates this policy. During the free trial, you may access up to 10 case briefs. With respect to free trials for a Group, only the Group Manager shall have access to the Service during the trial period.
11. Consent to Receive Electronic Communications from Company and Feedback.
By registering for the Service and providing your name, email, postal or residential address, and/or phone number through the Service, you expressly consent to receive electronic and other communications from Company, over the short term and periodically over the long term, including email communications. These communications will be about the Service, new product offers, promotions, and other matters. You may opt out of receiving electronic communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions contained in each communication, or by sending an email to [email protected]. You agree that these electronic communications satisfy any legal requirements that communications or notices to you be in writing. By sending Company any ideas, comments, suggestions, questions, or other material, you grant Company an unrestricted, royalty-free, worldwide, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, transmit, and distribute such material in any manner, including in connection with Company’s business, and you also agree that Company shall be free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques that you send Company for any purpose. You agree that no comments or other information submitted by you to Company will violate any personal or proprietary right of any third party (including, without limitation, copyright, trademark, or trade secret rights). You agree that you shall remain solely liable for the contents of any comments or other information submitted by you to Company. You also agree that Company is under no obligations of confidentiality, whether express or implied, with respect to any ideas, comments, suggestions, questions, or other material you send to Company.

12.4.2. Effect of Cancellation. Once your cancellation is confirmed by Company, then Company will not bill you further, but Company will not refund you for any remainder of that term. Company will terminate your access to the SaaS at the end of your billing term.

12.5. Quimbee Bar Review Money-Back Guarantee. If you purchase an eligible Quimbee Bar Review product (currently, Quimbee Bar Review Premium or Quimbee Bar Review+), Company guarantees that you will pass the bar on your first try after completing the Quimbee Bar Review+ or Premium program, or Company will issue a refund of your actual purchase price for Quimbee Bar Review+ or Premium. To be eligible for the money-back guarantee, you must (1) take the bar exam in a covered jurisdiction (currently, this includes all Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) jurisdictions, California, and Florida) and (2) complete at least 75% of your Quimbee Bar Review+ or Premium course by the first day of bar-exam administration for your selected exam date. Please note that attempts to fraudulently increase your completion percentage without making a bona fide effort to complete the coursework may void this guarantee. To claim the money-back guarantee, you must present proof of failure (e.g., a copy of the official notification email or a scanned or photocopied image of your official physical letter) within thirty (30) days of receiving Quimbee’s results survey email. If you are eligible for the money-back guarantee and fail the bar exam, Company will refund 100% of your actual purchase price (less any applicable discounts or credits) for the digital Quimbee Bar Review+ or Premium course back onto your original payment method. If Company is unable to refund your purchase price back to the original payment method, Company may, in its sole discretion, issue a refund by paper check mailed to your address.
12.5.1. Retakes of Quimbee Bar Review or Quimbee MBE Review. If you do not pass the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) after taking Quimbee Bar Review or Quimbee MBE Review, you may retake the course as many times as it takes you to pass. You must provide proof of failure (e.g., a copy of the official notification email or a scanned or photocopied image of your official physical letter) within thirty (30) days of receiving Quimbee’s results survey email in order to retake the course. You may retake the course even if you are not eligible for Quimbee’s money-back guarantee (e.g., you may retake the course even if you did not complete at least 75% of your Quimbee Bar Review course).
12.5.2. Deferrals of Quimbee Bar Review or Quimbee MBE Review. You may defer your Quimbee Bar Review or Quimbee MBE Review course at any time up until your exam date. You will lose access to the current course at that time and may not begin studying until the unlock date for your new exam date. The unlock date is typically thirty (30) days before the start date for the course. Please note that access to your Quimbee course is provided to you and you alone. Company reserves the right to require documentation that you are registered for a future exam date or refuse deferrals on suspicion of account sharing.
12.5.3. Quimbee Bar Review and Quimbee MBE Review Print Packages. Please note that Quimbee's money-back guarantee does not apply to the print package. Likewise, all purchasers eligible for a deferral or retake of the digital course will receive only one print package. You may purchase an additional print package for your new exam date by contacting customer support.
12.6. Reserved Rights for Company’s Fees. Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change the fees and charges in effect, or to add new fees and charges, by posting such changes or providing notice to you. All fees and charges are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds, nor are there credits for partially used subscription periods.
12.6.1. Company’s decision not to exercise any specific right or require performance of any specific obligation under this Agreement, including collecting regularly recurring fees from you, shall not affect Company’s later ability to exercise those rights or to require performance at any later time. Company’s waiver of your breach shall not constitute a waiver of any later breach by you, or by any other user of the Service. By using the Service, you authorize Company or its payment processor to charge Company’s fees to the payment method you provide, in addition to applicable sales and other taxes.
13. Third Party Websites.
The Service is linked with the websites of third parties (“Third Party Websites”), some of whom may have established relationships with Company and some of whom may not. Company does not have control over the content and performance of Third Party Websites. Company has not reviewed, and cannot review or control, all of the material, including computer software or other goods or services, made available on Third Party Websites. Accordingly, Company does not represent, warrant, or endorse any Third Party Websites, or the accuracy, currency, content, fitness, lawfulness, or quality of the information, material, goods, or services available through Third Party Websites. Company disclaims, and you agree to assume, all responsibility and liability for any damages or other harm, whether to you or to third parties, resulting from your use of Third Party Websites.
14. Your Responsibility for Defamatory Comments.
14.1. If you post defamatory statements to the Service, persons harmed by those statements may sue you and seek damages. Under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, Company will not be held liable for your statements that are defamatory or otherwise legally actionable.
14.2. If you raise or file any claim against Company for conduct that a Court of Competent Jurisdiction (defined below at 21.1.3.) later finds to constitute an “exercise of a publisher’s traditional editorial functions,” or the legal equivalent, you agree to fully and immediately compensate Company for all losses, liability, damages, costs, and expenses, including without limitation all attorneys’ fees and expenses in defending the action and resolving the matter. If you fail to compensate Company for any such claim, you agree and authorize Company to report your Personal Information, including without limitation your unpaid claim, to consumer credit reporting services, collection agencies, and others.

Company disclaims any perceived, implied, or actual duty to monitor content made available through the Service, and specifically disclaims any responsibility or liability for information provided on the Service. Without limiting any of its other remedies, Company reserves the right to terminate your use of the Service or your uploading, posting, transmission, display, performance, or distribution of Objectionable Content. Company, in its sole discretion, may delete any Objectionable Content from its servers. Company intends to cooperate fully with any law enforcement officials or agencies in the investigation of any violation of this Agreement or of any applicable laws.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall expressly permit Company to seek injunctive relief to protect Company’s intellectual property rights.
21.5. Frivolous Claims. If the arbitrator or a Court of Competent Jurisdiction finds that the substance of a Claim or the relief sought is frivolous, or that a Claim is brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards of Rule 11(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and related case law), then the party bringing that Claim shall pay all arbitrator fees, attorneys’ fees, and costs related to that Claim.
