We encourage you to periodically review this Agreement to see if there have been any changes that may affect you.

Legal Disclaimers
No Legal Advice
The materials on the Pillsbury Sites are general in nature and are intended only as background materials for informational purposes. They do not constitute legal advice. They may not apply to your specific situation or may be incomplete. Although we may update certain information on the Pillsbury Sites, some of the information may be outdated. You should not act or rely on any information on the Pillsbury Sites. You are not authorized to treat the Pillsbury Sites as a source of legal advice. Before acting or delaying action, you should first seek the advice of an attorney qualified in the applicable subject matter and jurisdiction.
No Tax Advice (Required Tax Disclosure – Circular 230)
Any tax information presented on the Pillsbury Sites is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax considerations. Internal Revenue Service regulations generally provide that, for the purpose of avoiding United States federal tax penalties, a taxpayer may rely only on formal written opinions meeting specific regulatory requirements. The information presented on the Pillsbury Sites does not meet those requirements. Accordingly, such information is not intended or written to be used, and a taxpayer cannot use it, for the purpose of avoiding United States federal or other tax penalties or for the purpose of promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any tax-related matters.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Your access to or use of the Pillsbury Sites does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Pillsbury. If you are not a current client of Pillsbury and you communicate with us through a Site, we are under no obligation to keep confidential your communication nor will the communication invoke the attorney client privilege. Thus, unless you have a pre-existing, documented attorney-client relationship with a Pillsbury attorney, you should not communicate confidential information to Pillsbury.
Sensitive Communications
Should you choose to contact Pillsbury electronically, you should be aware that information transmitted electronically cannot be guaranteed to be securely transmitted. Pillsbury assumes no responsibility for the loss of confidentiality for any information you transmit through the internet.
Advertising Notice
Pillsbury does not seek to be retained by anyone who approaches Pillsbury as a result of the Pillsbury Sites and who is from a state where the Pillsbury Sites fail to comply with all laws and ethical rules of that state. Under the Rules of Professional Conduct adopted in various jurisdictions in the United States, the content of the Pillsbury Sites includes information that is considered to be lawyer advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each representation has unique facts and circumstances that may impact results.
Jurisdictional Issues
Pillsbury has offices in a number of locations, and no individual Pillsbury attorney is admitted to practice in all the locations where we have offices. Please consult the attorney biographies on the Sites to determine the particular jurisdictions in which individual Pillsbury attorneys are licensed to practice. Pillsbury’s attorneys admitted in Texas are not certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Except as specifically stated, each Pillsbury attorney is not certified (including as a specialist) by any professional or governmental authority.
Intellectual Property Rights
All text, names, logos, designs, graphics, trade dress, characters, interfaces, code, software, images, sounds, videos, photographs and other content appearing in or on the Sites (the “Content”) are protected intellectual property of, or used with permission or under license by, Pillsbury. Such Content may be protected by copyright, trademark, patent or other proprietary rights and laws. This includes the entire Content of each Site, copyrighted and protected as a collective work. All intellectual property rights associated with the Sites, and related goodwill, are proprietary to us or our licensors.
