Disclaimers and limits.

1. Not a law firm, and not legal advice

Discrimination Navigator is a self-help document preparation and education service. It is not a law firm and does not practice law. Nothing on this site or in these tools is legal advice, and using the Services does not create an attorney-client relationship with anyone.

Everything here is general information. It cannot account for the particular facts of your situation, and it is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney who has reviewed those facts.

2. You are the decider and the filer

Discrimination Navigator does not choose a legal basis for you, does not write your account of what happened, and does not decide what you should file. It asks questions, and it assembles a document from the answers you give.

Every input is yours. Review any document the Services help you create, in full, before you sign it or submit it to anyone.

3. Deadline results are calculations, not determinations

The deadline calculator does arithmetic on the dates you enter. Based on your input, it indicates when a filing window appears to open and close. That is a self-help calculation, not a legal determination and not a ruling.

An automated clock cannot account for every real-world exception, including equitable tolling, a continuing violation, a different last act date, or facts that change which rule applies. If the calculator indicates that your window has closed, that is not the end of the analysis. A lawyer may see options an automated clock cannot.

4. No guaranteed outcome

We make no guarantee about the outcome of any EEOC charge, investigation, mediation, lawsuit, or other proceeding. No tool, template, or guide can promise a result, and nothing here should be read as predicting one.

5. The law changes, and it varies

Federal anti-discrimination law changes over time, and state and local law adds requirements that differ from place to place. We work to keep our content current and accurate, but we do not warrant that it is complete, current, or applicable to your situation.

6. Your responsibility for accuracy

A charge of discrimination is a sworn federal document. You are responsible for the truth and the accuracy of everything you put in it. Do not sign anything you have not read and do not believe to be true.

7. Third parties

We link to third parties, including the EEOC, and we rely on third-party providers to operate. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices.
