Effective Date: May 29, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Common Ground Divorce Mediation website located at utahdivorcemediation.com and related website features (the "Website"). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Website. We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes are effective when posted on this page.
2. About Our Services
Common Ground Divorce Mediation provides divorce mediation services intended to help parties communicate, negotiate, and work toward mutually acceptable agreements outside of litigation. Services may include mediation sessions, informational consultations, case coordination, and document preparation assistance related to mediated agreements.
Actual mediation services, fees, scheduling, cancellation terms, and other engagement details may be governed by a separate written agreement or communication between you and Common Ground.
3. Website Information Is Not Legal Advice
The content on this Website is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, therapy, or a substitute for professional counsel.
Common Ground Divorce Mediation facilitates communication and negotiation between parties. We do not represent either party, advocate for a particular outcome, or provide legal advice. You should consult a licensed attorney for legal advice specific to your situation before signing or filing any legal agreement.
4. No Relationship Created by Website Use
Using this Website, calling us, sending an email, submitting a form, or requesting a consultation does not automatically create a mediator-client relationship, attorney-client relationship, confidential relationship, or formal engagement with Common Ground.
A formal mediation relationship or service engagement begins only when Common Ground agrees to provide services and any required intake, scheduling, payment, or agreement steps are completed.
5. Confidentiality and Website Submissions
Mediation sessions may be confidential to the extent provided by applicable Utah law, mediation rules, and any written agreement between the parties. However, communications through a public website form are not the same as communications made during a formal mediation session.
Do not submit highly sensitive legal, financial, personal, or case-specific information through the Website. Use website forms only to request contact or provide a brief summary. Detailed information should be discussed directly with Common Ground through an appropriate private channel.
Confidentiality does not apply to disclosures required or permitted by law, including matters involving abuse, threats of harm, court orders, subpoenas, mandatory reporting obligations, or other legal requirements.
6. Appointments, Communication, and SMS
If you request a consultation or appointment, including through an online booking tool if available, you agree to provide accurate contact information and to update us if your information changes. We may contact you by phone, email, or text message to respond to your inquiry, confirm appointments, provide reminders, coordinate services, or follow up.
If you opt in to text messages, message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. You may opt out by replying STOP to a text message. For help, reply HELP or contact us directly. We do not share your mobile number or SMS consent with third parties for their marketing purposes.
7. Fees, Payment, and Cancellation
Fees for mediation or related services will be disclosed before engagement or scheduling when applicable. By scheduling and attending paid services, you agree to pay applicable fees according to the terms provided to you.
Cancellation, rescheduling, deposit, refund, or minimum-fee policies may be provided separately and may vary by service. Common Ground may reschedule or cancel appointments due to unforeseen circumstances and will make reasonable efforts to notify you promptly.
8. No Guarantee of Outcome
We do not guarantee that mediation will result in a settlement, agreement, court approval, particular timeline, cost savings, or specific legal outcome. Results depend on the facts, choices, cooperation, and circumstances of the parties involved.
9. Permitted Use of the Website
You agree not to misuse the Website. Prohibited uses include attempting to gain unauthorized access, disrupting Website operation, submitting false or misleading information, transmitting harmful code, scraping or copying content for commercial use, or using the Website in violation of applicable law.
