LawSourceLive may assign its rights and duties under this Agreement to any party at any time without notice to you.

16. Billing

LawSourceLive works on a “per completed transaction” basis.  You will be billed $3.00 per completed transaction.  A completed transaction is defined as when attorney has entered their appearance/ requested a recommendation AND a response has been received in the attorney’s in-box from the prosecutor or court.  Attorneys may enter their appearance on behalf of one individual defendant in a particular court on a particular court date for up to 5 cases. As such, if Defendant A has 5 cases pending in Court B on one specific court date, user may electronically enter and request a recommendation on all 5 cases for Defendant A.  When a response is received in the user’s in-box on those 5 cases for Defendant A, the account will be billed $3.00.  This constitutes ONE (1) “completed transaction.” 

Please note that “completed transaction” is not defined for these purposes to mean that the defendant’s cases are resolved or completed.  The prosecutor may require an appearance in court to finalize the case.  The prosecutor may require additional information to make a recommendation.  The court may return a defective or incomplete entry or require additional information.  These are all considered a "completed transaction."  For calculating for billing purposes, a “completed transaction” is defined to mean that the entry and request has been sent and received by the court and a response to that entry and request has been sent and received by the user’s in-box from the prosecutor or court. 

If Defendant A has more than 5 cases pending on a particular court date, the user will be billed an additional $3.00 for every additional 5 submissions.  For example, if Defendant A has 10 cases pending on a particular court night, the account will be billed $6.00 for that particular case.  Submissions 11 through 15 will be an additional $3.00 and so on.  

An entry and request sent to a particular court that is rejected and sent back to the user’s in-box by the court clerk because it is the wrong court or untimely will be billed as a "completed transaction" as defined above. Specific courts will have specific rules with regard to the timing of the submission.  For example, a certain court may not accept entry of appearances and requests for recommendations until within ten (10) days of the court date. If the user submits the entry and request before the ten day period, the submission may be rejected by the clerk and your account will be billed accordingly.  It is the user’s responsibility to make sure they are abiding by the rules for submission for each particular court accessed.  When in doubt, call the court. 

17. Electronic Filing Rules

It is a mandate for the user to abide by all local and State rules governing electronic filing and electronic signatures, including, but not limited to the following State of Missouri Rules:

RULE 83-2.13 WHEN ELECTRONIC FILINGS ARE COMPLETED

  Electronic filing is permitted at all times, except when the electronic filing system is temporarily unavailable due to routine or necessary emergency maintenance. An electronic filing completed at any time before midnight Central time shall be entered on the docket as of that date. The Court's electronic case filing system determines the date and time when a filing is completed. A filing is timely only if accomplished in compliance with deadlines set by an applicable order, rule or statute.  [Effective May 15, 2003.]

RULE 6-2.14 TECHNICAL FAILURE AND FILING DEADLINES

If technical failure prevents timely electronic filing of any document, the filing party may seek relief from the Court.  [Effective May 15, 2003.]

RULE 11-2.11 SIGNATURES ON ELECTRONIC FILINGS

The use of an attorney's electronic filing login and password to file a motion, memorandum or other document constitutes the signature of that attorney on that document for all purposes, including Fed.R.Civ.P. 11.

User agrees that his/her signature block for these purposes will not contain that person’s actual signature, but a facsimile of his/her signature in a font chosen by employees/members of LawSourceLive hereinafter referred to as the user’s “electronic signature.”   User agrees that this electronic signature will serve as the signature for each pleading he/she files utilizing LawSourceLive and user further waives any and all right to object to his/her actual signature being absent from the pleadings that are filed through LawSourceLive services.
