(g) "Subscribers" means eligible Company subscribers.
2. PPL Services.
The PPL Plan entitles Subscribers to submit requests to the Company to receive Covered Legal Services, which will be provided by PPL Attorneys and paid for by the Company, subject to the Benefit Limit. The Blacklist Alliance is not a law firm, and no employee of the Company can or will provide legal advice to Subscribers. If a PPL Attorney is not admitted in Subscriber's state, any legal advice they provide shall be limited to the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and other United States federal statutes, rules, and regulations and the law of the particular state(s) in which the PPL attorney is admitted to practice law.
3. Benefit Limit
The amount of Covered Legal Services each Subscriber is entitled to receive in a Plan Year is determined by the Subscriber's subscription plan level on the date a request for services is submitted. The table below specifies the specific amount of attorney time available for Covered Legal Services under each subscription plan (the "Benefit Limit"). Attorney time is calculated in hours and billed in increments of 1/10 hours.
4. Availability
PPL Services only become available after ninety (90) consecutive days following the commencement of a subscription plan (the "Qualifying Period") and only remain available as long as your subscription remains: (i) active and in good standing; and (ii) at a level that includes access to PPL Services. If all available PPL Benefits have been used in a Plan Year, no further PPL Services will be available until the next Plan Year. Unused PPL benefits from one Plan Year will carry over to the following Plan Year for so long as you maintain your subscription. If you upgrade your subscription plan to one that includes a higher Benefit Limit, the Qualifying Period to access the higher Benefit Limit will be 30 days after the upgrade date. If you suspend your subscription for a set period of time, PPL services will not be available during the suspension period. The Company has no obligation to pay, and will not pay, for any Covered Legal Services in excess of the Benefit Limit; provided that the Company may in its sole discretion decide to expand the scope of the Benefit Limit. PPL Attorneys will not be entitled to any additional compensation for the Covered Legal Services that they provide under this PPL Addendum.
5. Requesting PPL Services
To access PPL Services, you may either submit a request through the Subscriber Support module on the Subscriber dashboard or by email to ppl@blacklistalliance.com. Your request shall include details concerning the matter for which you would like to access PPL Services and any associated documents. The Company will respond to your request within 24 hours and will assign the matter to a PPL Attorney for PPL Services thereafter. By requesting and accepting PPL Services, Subscriber acknowledges that any information submitted to the Company in connection with accessing PPL Services may be used by the Company for commercial purposes and Subscriber consents and agrees to such use.
6. General Provisions and Exclusions
(a) Attorney-Client Agreement: A PPL Attorney may require you to execute a written attorney-client agreement governing the services to be provided to you under this PPL Addendum. The PPL Attorney is under no obligation to incur any unusual or non-customary costs in connection with the Services to be provided hereunder. Any legal fees or costs associated with services rendered by a PPL Attorney that are not covered by this PPL Addendum may be invoiced by and payable to the PPL Attorney by the Subscriber in accordance a separate Attorney-Client agreement. The Blacklist Alliance is and will not be a party to any such agreement, the terms of which are to be agreed upon by and between the Subscriber and the PPL Attorney.
(b) Conflicts: Before a PPL Attorney can provide PPL Services, their firm may run a conflicts check to determine whether they are permitted to provide you with the services you requested in accordance with state bar rules. If the attorney is unable to provide services as a result of a conflict or other issue, you must inform us immediately so we can locate a substitute PPL Attorney. Any unreasonable delay in informing us of a conflict or other issue that prevents a PPL Attorney from delivering services may prejudice our ability to locate an adequate replacement.
(c) Disclaimer of Guarantee and Estimates: Nothing in this PPL Addendum shall be construed as a promise or guarantee about the outcome of the Services to be provided by any PPL Attorney hereunder.
(d) Professional Judgment: The PPL Attorney shall make independent professional judgments about the provision of any services to be delivered pursuant to this PPL Addendum. The Blacklist Alliance will in no way interfere, influence, or attempt to affect the rendering of professional services by any PPL Attorney or Law Firm. The Blacklist Alliance does not provide legal advice or legal services through this Agreement. The Blacklist Alliance's role is limited to administering the PPL Plan, determining eligibility and coverage, making assignments, and paying authorized fees in accordance with this PPL Addendum.
7. Payment of Legal Fees
Under the PPL Plan, the Company will pay the legal fees charged by the PPL Attorneys in connection with the provision of Covered Legal Services, subject to the Benefit Limit. Once the Subscriber's PPL benefit has been exhausted, the Company's obligation under the PPL Plan will cease; the Subscriber may elect to continue an attorney-client relationship with the assigned PPL Attorney at their sole cost.
