1. Terms of Service Agreement

This agreement is intended to cover all entities and divisions of US Filing Services, LLC. (“US Filing Services” or D/B/A FilingServices.com), including, but not limited to, US Filing Services. US Filing Services aims to establish relationships with its clients and process all orders as accurately and efficiently as possible.

US Filing Services formation, compliance, and registered agent services for businesses based in the United States of America. US Filing Services also provides software as a service through its website, client portal or mobile application (as may be offered from time to time) (either as “Site” or “App”) for clients to (i) form a business with a particular state or commonwealth of the United States of America (“State”); (ii) obtain registered agent services; (iii) ensure the business’ good standing status with a State or federal agency; (iv) protect the business’ privacy; (v) file certain documents with a State or federal agency; and (vi) obtain additional services that may be offered from time to time. All products and services described within the terms of service, as well as any other products and services offered by US Filing Services at any time, shall be defined herein as “Service” or “Services.” To use the Service, clients must read and accept all of the terms and conditions in, and linked to, this Terms of Service agreement (the “Agreement”). This Agreement may be modified by US Filing Services from time to time at its sole discretion, and clients may be notified as set forth below. US Filing Services strongly recommends that, as clients read this Agreement, they also access and read the linked information.

BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, CLIENTS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT JUST AS IF THEY HAD SIGNED AND ACKNOWLEDGED ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

A relationship with US Filing Services does not provide those legal and professional protections that normally exist under an attorney-client relationship, such as the following: (a) privileged communication between an attorney and client; (b) the requirement for an attorney to use a client trust account for safekeeping of fees paid in advance; or (c) prohibitions preventing an attorney from having impermissible relationships with clients, representing other persons with conflicting interests, receiving referral fees from third-party vendors, or prospectively limiting liability for malpractice through a contractual provision in a client agreement.

In the event that the IRS, state agency, or other regulator has initiated an enforcement proceeding claiming an individual or entity has violated the applicable law, such individual or entity will need to retain legal counsel to represent them before the regulatory body. Although US Filing Services may serve as an expert regarding industry practices, US Filing Services is not a substitute for engaging appropriate legal counsel to represent such an individual or entity.

Determining to use a third-party formation, compliance, or tax services provider is an important decision and should not be based solely on advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. A description or indication of limitation of US Filing Services’ compliance services does not mean that an agency or board has certified US Filing Services as a specialist or expert in entity compliance. All potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of US Filing Services.

2. Eligibility, Point of Contact, Account Ownership

The Services found at this Site and provided by US Filing Services are available only to clients who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By using the Services found at this Site, clients represent and warrant that they are (i) at least eighteen (18) years of age and/or (ii) otherwise recognized as being able to form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Clients further represent and warrant that they are not on the United States Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Control’s list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons and are not otherwise persons to whom US Filing Services is legally prohibited from providing Services.

Clients shall designate a Primary “Point of Contact” to work with US Filing Services and its representatives. The Point of Contact shall have full authority to enter into agreements and make binding decisions on behalf of the client. US Filing Services may rely on representations made by the Point of Contact. Clients may change the Point of Contact at any time by giving written notice to US Filing Services in accordance with the notice provisions of this Agreement. US Filing Services is not obligated to accept instructions from anyone other than the Point of Contact. Notwithstanding the foregoing, US Filing Services shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from US Filing Services’ reliance on any instruction, notice, document, or communication reasonably believed by US Filing Services to be genuine and originating from an authorized representative of the client’s corporate entity. If there is reasonable doubt about the authenticity of any such instruction, notice, document, or communication, US Filing Services reserves the right (but not the obligation) to require additional authentication from the client. To permit US Filing Services to protect the quality of its products and services, clients consent to the US Filing Services team being able to access the account and records on a case-by-case basis to investigate complaints or other allegations of abuse.

3. Client Responsibilities and Communication

a. Account Creation

To use certain features of the Services, clients must register for an account (“Account”) and provide certain information about themselves as prompted by the online portal, app, or intake questionnaires. Clients represent and warrant that: (a) all required registration information submitted is truthful and accurate; (b) they will maintain the accuracy of such information.

Clients may delete their Account at any time, for any reason, by following the instructions on the Site, subject to early termination fees, as applicable. US Filing Services may suspend or terminate the Account per the Term and Termination Section.

b. Communication Methods

All client communication, including phone calls, emails, text messages, and other forms of electronic communication through US Filing Services’ online portal, is documented and recorded. Clients consent to receive text and email messages sent by an automatic dialing system to remind and update them on order status, along with ongoing marketing and client communication. Message and data rates may apply and are not US Filing Services’ responsibility. Clients can reply “stop” to opt out of text messaging. Opting out of email or text message communication may prevent clients from receiving important information or updates regarding their orders or accounts.

c. Information Quality

It is the client’s responsibility to provide any documents, data, materials, and review, including login codes for electronic submissions, necessary to complete the work and submit it when applicable. This is especially important for electronic submissions. The client is responsible for getting all the necessary information to US Filing Services in a timely manner. It is the client’s responsibility to obtain all necessary third-party consent and agreements. Please keep in mind that the success of US Filing Services’ work directly results from the quality of the information provided to the team and through the intake questionnaires.

d. Language Requirements

All of US Filing Services’ information and communication is provided in English. While translation tools may be used to offer convenience to clients, US Filing Services is only responsible for, and can only guarantee, the accuracy of information using the US English language.

e. Responsible Party

US Filing Services’ review of answers is limited to completeness, spelling, and internal consistency of names, addresses, and the like. Clients will read the final document(s) before signing them, where applicable, and agree to be solely responsible for the final document(s).

f. Electronic Records and Signatures

Clients give US Filing Services and any affiliated companies or third parties consent to affix an electronic signature where required to file documents. Clients understand that they may withdraw their consent, provided their documents have not already been filed, by calling US Filing Services Customer Service at 1-877-907-FILE (3453).

g. Third Party Acknowledgement

Clients consent to allow US Filing Services to subcontract some parts or the whole of any order, obligations, or other performance.

h. Termination

US Filing Services reserves the right to terminate the agreement and any related orders or services in the event of abusive or noncordial behavior. In the event of this occurrence, US Filing Services may terminate the agreement per the Cancellation Policy.

4. Payments and Payment Terms

Clients represent and warrant that if they are purchasing something from US Filing Services, (i) any payment information supplied is true and complete, (ii) charges incurred will be honored by their credit card company or banking institution, and (iii) they will pay the charges incurred at the posted prices, including any applicable taxes. Billing will appear as US Filing Services for any purchase made within its network of websites. Work will not begin on any order until payment is made in full or an appropriate deposit and payment plan is implemented.

a. Split Payments/Payment Plans

In a split payment plan, US Filing Services will debit the client’s account for the remaining balance upon completing a service order or in 45 days, whichever occurs first. Subsequent payments on a payment plan order are automatically programmed into the merchant payment system and typically occur automatically.

b. Unpaid Balances

Accounts or orders more than 60 days in delinquency may be sent to a collection agency, and clients are responsible for paying for all handling, collection, or legal costs. Late payments, insufficient funds, or credit card cancellations (chargebacks) may result in an additional processing fee of $50, plus delayed service order processing and ongoing support. Unresolved payments may be reported to credit reporting agencies.

Clients with an unpaid balance to US Filing Services who do not make satisfactory payment arrangements may have their account placed with an external collection agency. They will be responsible for reimbursement of the fee of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 35% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable collection and attorney’s fees incurred during collection efforts.

In order for US Filing Services or its designated external collection agency to service the account, and where not prohibited by applicable law, clients agree that US Filing Services and the designated external collection agency are authorized to (i) contact them by telephone at the telephone number(s) they are providing, including wireless telephone numbers, which could result in charges to them, (ii) contact them by sending text messages (message and data rates may apply) or emails, using any email address they provide, and (iii) methods of contact may include using pre-recorded/artificial voice messages and/or use of an automatic dialing device, as applicable.

c. Filing Fees

US Filing Services charges fees to perform the ordered services. All state, government, or agency filing, late, penalty, or other fees are the client’s sole responsibility and are not included in US Filing Services’ service cost.

At US Filing Services’ sole discretion and with permission from clients, the US Filing Services team may collect the filing fees upfront and pass them on directly to the state, government, governing agency, or any other third party.

Additionally, US Filing Services may add a convenience fee to cover the time and risk associated with making payments before receiving payment, with disclosure to and permission from the client.

5. Cancellation, Abandoned Orders, and Refund Policy

a. Refund and Cancellation Policy

Clients may cancel and receive a full refund for incomplete work within 30 days of the initial order.

For partially completed orders, US Filing Services will prorate a refund based on the work that has been completed.

The technology, applications, templates, and tools are the intellectual property of US Filing Services, and thus, access to these tools is a portion of the service for which clients have made payment.

b. Canceled or Abandoned Orders

If an order is considered abandoned or canceled after 120 days, US Filing Services may retain the amount you paid as liquidated damages. This covers the costs associated with our commitment to servicing your order. Clients understand US Filing Services is allocating time and resources to reach them for missing and required information, which is not considered in the price paid for service. They acknowledge this Cancellation Policy is intended to safeguard US Filing Services’ time, people, and resources.

Other than as required by applicable state law, clients with abandoned orders have no right to cancel, request a refund or obtain credit for any undelivered order after 120 days have elapsed from the purchase date, unless US Filings is at fault.

e. Filing Fees and Shipping Costs are Non-Refundable

Any filing fees or shipping costs US Filing Services has already paid on behalf of clients to a state agency, the IRS, or other government agency are non-refundable.

f. Completed and Delivered Orders

All completed and delivered orders are non-refundable. Orders requiring the client to complete the last steps, including paying filing fees, required signatures, and submitting final documents and/or filings, are considered completed orders, as they are outside of the control of US Filing Services.

6. Order Processing

a. Timeline

US Filing Services’ schedule for most services is 3 to 7 business days after receiving all the needed documentation. Some services are more complex and can take longer, and the total service timeline is dependent upon the jurisdiction processing timelines, which are outside of US Filing Services’ control. For services requiring more time and research, clients must complete all information requests and questionnaires promptly. US Filing Services can expedite some services for an additional fee.

US Filing Services does not begin working on orders until all requirements and information requested from the client have been received and are in good order. US Filing Services cannot complete work without having all the required information in its possession.

b. Assumed Consent

US Filing Services’ goal is to ensure that clients do not face government-issued late fees, penalties, or revocation after placing an order, and clients are encouraged to communicate promptly and provide accurate information to facilitate this process. To ensure timely compliance with jurisdiction filing deadlines, US Filing Services will make reasonable efforts to gather all required information from clients to complete their orders. If, after attempting to contact clients, US Filing Services does not receive a response or the necessary information within a reasonable timeframe before the filing deadline, US Filing Services will assume their consent to proceed with the completion of their order based on the information available at that time, which may include information filed during the previous reporting year or available in publicly available state or federal databases. This may include making assumptions or estimations to meet the filing requirements.

By agreeing to these terms, clients authorize US Filing Services to take such actions and understand that this may result in their filings being submitted with the best available information at the time of filing. Clients are responsible for ensuring that all information provided to US Filing Services is accurate and up-to-date and responding promptly to requests for additional information or clarification.

Should clients need to file an amended report due to inaccuracies or omissions in the information provided or inability to reach the client for accurate information, the client will be responsible for any additional fees or filings required to correct the submission.

c. Specific Services

Purchases may be subject to additional terms and conditions based on the type of service ordered. These terms are outlined later in this Agreement.

d. Shipping

The standard shipping option for any items requiring shipping is USPS priority mail. However, clients can upgrade to next-day express mail for an additional fee.

e. Status Updates

Through the online account (Client Portal) at https://my.filingservices.com, US Filing Services provides access to view and request an order or status update. Clients may use this feature from within the Client Portal for quick and timely updates or email support at support@US Filing Services.com to submit a request. A ticket will be created and escalated to the appropriate party for resolution. Clients should allow two (2) to three (3) business days for a response when sending an email or creating a ticket. Clients can also call 1-877-907-FILE (3453) and request to speak to a representative.

e. Delays

The Service may be subject to limitations, delays, and other problems inherent in using the Internet and electronic communications. The Service may also be subject to governmental shutdowns, delays, and other problems associated with state and federal agencies. US Filing Services is not responsible for any delays, failures, or other damage caused by such problems.

f. Revisions

US Filing Services strives to provide quality service at a cost-effective price for clients. To do so, US Filing Services requires that clients provide quality, comprehensive information. The final product will directly result from the quality of information provided to US Filing Services.

There are no revisions on form-based services. Once US Filing Services sends final filings directly to a state or agency, a change or correction will only be made due to US Filing Services’ error. However, any changes or corrections due to new information or client requests may require an additional fee.

7. Services Provided by US Filing Services

Clients’ purchases may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may also be applicable as defined in this section.

a. Incorporation Services

US Filing Services’ incorporation services include preparing and filing documents for incorporation or organization as a limited liability or C-Corp company in the jurisdiction of the client’s choosing. These documents will fulfill the minimal legal requirements for incorporation or organization in the chosen jurisdiction and are not meant to serve as formal operating agreements or bylaws for the business or organization.

To ensure successful processing, US Filing Services reserves the right to advise against any potential pitfalls and cannot include information within the incorporation or organizing documents that would lead to unsuccessful filing. Representatives are not trained to offer specific tax advantages and cannot provide legal advice. If a corporation or other entity is eligible to be treated as an S corporation, a Form 2553 is required to make the election under section 1362(a). US Filing Services can prepare the form for an additional fee.

For nonprofit organizations, incorporation services include adding specific clauses to the articles of incorporation that all organizations wishing to pursue tax exemption under 501(c) from the Internal Revenue Service must include in their organizing document. These clauses must be added to the organizing document to obtain tax-exempt status under any 501(c) section and cannot be modified or removed

b. Registered Agent Services

A registered agent is authorized to receive service of process in the event of a lawsuit and other important documents on behalf of the business. Clients enrolling in the registered agent service must provide a physical and mailing address to be recorded by the state. State laws vary regarding the visibility of these addresses, so clients should contact the appropriate Secretary of State to understand the laws specific to their jurisdiction of formation.

Through partnerships, US Filing Services provides Registered Agent Services in all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico for the specific purpose of serving as a Registered Agent (also known as a Resident Agent, Statutory Agent, Service of Process Agent, or Commercial Registered Office Provider) for legal entities. By purchasing Registered Agent Services, clients understand, agree to, and accept the specific purpose and use of a Registered Agent, which is to be appointed and maintained by a legal entity according to local statutory requirements. The Registered Agent is responsible for maintaining a physical location during regular business hours, receiving legal and government notices on behalf of the represented entity, and securely delivering documents to the entity.

US Filing Services handles the initial setup and all ongoing billing. The service is charged by US Filing Services and automatically renews annually within 60 days of the anniversary date of purchase, billed to the card on file. Billing in advance minimizes service disruption.

Registered Agent Services ordered on the Site or through a US Filing Services representative are provided by Northwest Registered Agents, Legalinc, or other third-party registered agent providers. Any agreement to purchase the Registered Agent Services is between the client and a third-party provider. Unless specifically restricted by the client, US Filing Services reserves the right to change providers if there is no additional cost to the client.

US Filing Services will notify clients of legal notices and other important mail received on their behalf through these services. The US Filing Services client portal will also store copies of delivered documents.

US Filing Services will collect the fees related to the Registered Agent Services on behalf of the registered agent partners pursuant to the subscription arrangement with the information and credit card details provided on the Website.

Clients should keep their credit card and other information current to ensure continued service of the purchased Registered Agent Services. Unless clients opt out of the Registered Agent Services, US Filing Services will continue collecting fees pursuant to the subscription terms.

Northwest Registered Agents, Legalinc and any other Registered Agent Partner, along with US Filing Services, reserve the right to increase service fees at any time without notice to the client.

Clients may notify US Filing Services to cancel Registered Agent Services at any time. Proof that a new registered agent has been designated with the appropriate state agency may be required to do so. If proof of a substitute registered agent is not received by the renewal date, the client will be charged the full fee for the renewal term. If the service is canceled before the expiration of the term, no pro-rata refund will be provided.

If a partial payment is made or authorized, the order will be considered incomplete until full payment is made. US Filing Services and registered agent partners reserve the right to reduce the service term at their discretion. Accepted partial payments may be subject to additional installment payment processing fees.

If full payment is not received by US Filing Services on behalf of registered agent partners in a timely manner for the initial order or any renewal, US Filing Services and its registered agent partners reserve the right to terminate the Registered Agent Services. At its sole discretion, the registered agent partner may continue to serve as the registered agent and invoice the client for its fees and any applicable late payment fees or charges. Clients are fully responsible for all consequences related to the termination of Registered Agent Services. Northwest Registered Agents, Legalinc, US Filing Services, and their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, successors, assigns, agents, or representatives are not liable for any damage or inconvenience caused or alleged to be caused by termination.

While certain services may control where and to whom certain notices are sent, any notices from the Registered Agent will go to the company for which the registered agent serves, in addition to any additional people included as contacts of the entity.

The address for the Registered Agent is for use by the Registered Agent and is not to be used as the client’s business address.

US Filing Services registered agent services are limited to receiving and forwarding items covered under state statutes. When receiving process on behalf of the client, US Filing Services shall not be held responsible for any part of the lawsuit or claim. The client agrees to indemnify US Filing Services for all claims brought in these processes.

Changing Registered Agents

If Northwest Registered Agents or Legalinc is the registered agent on state record and a change is desired, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Filing a Change of Agent Request: To change registered agents, file a change of agent request with the state. US Filing Services can assist with this for any state for $149 plus state fees.
  2. Notifying US Filing Services: If a change of agent has been filed for any state that US Filing Services serves, please call 1-877-907-FILE (3453) or email support@US Filing Services.com to update the information and formally cancel the registered agent account. If the business has withdrawn from or dissolved in a state where Northwest Registered Agents or Legalinc was the registered agent of record, contact US Filing Services using the above info. The account will be canceled once US Filing Services confirms that Northwest or Legalinc is no longer the registered agent or that the business has ceased.

Please note that US Filing Services cannot independently cancel registered agent service due to legal obligations to have a registered agent. Being without one can incur penalties for the company in violation or even a revocation of authority to operate in the state.

e. Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) requires certain companies to report their beneficial owners to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and update that information within 30 days of any changes. US Filing Services, or its partner, will file the Beneficial Ownership Information Report for the company you specified in your order (the “Reporting Company”).

1. Definitions

Reporting Company: Any U.S. corporation, LLC, or similar entity, and foreign companies that register to do business in the U.S.

Beneficial Owner: Someone who either has significant control over the company or owns at least 25% of it.

25% Ownership: To calculate this, add up all ownership interests of an individual and compare them to the total ownership of the company.

Substantial Control: Significant influence over the company, such as being a senior officer or having a major say in decisions. More than one person can have substantial control.

FinCEN Identifier: A unique number that FinCEN issues to an individual or company after they provide certain information. This number can be used in place of personal details in the report.

Company Applicant: For companies created after January 1, 2024, the Company Applicant is the person who files the paperwork to create or register the company.

2. Your Responsibilities

While we provide a summary of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), you are responsible for knowing the laws that apply to your company. You must comply with all federal, state, and local laws. Do not use this service for illegal activities.

Some entities are exempt from reporting. It’s your responsibility to determine if your company is exempt. US Filing Services won’t advise you on this and will not issue refunds for services provided to exempt companies.

3. Filing Deadlines

For companies created before January 1, 2024: You must file the initial beneficial ownership report by January 1, 2025.

For companies created on or after January 1, 2024: You have 90 days from the time you are notified that your company was created or registered to file your report.

After the initial report, you only need to file updates if there are changes to the information you reported.

4. Updating Information

You are responsible for notifying US Filing Services or FinCEN of any changes to your beneficial ownership information within 30 days. Failure to do so may result in penalties. US Filing Services is not responsible for any damages caused by failure to update or provide accurate information.

Not updating your information can result in fines of up to $500 per day or criminal penalties, including imprisonment for up to two years and/or fines of up to $10,000.

f. Subscriptions and Memberships

Subscriptions, sometimes called memberships, may be purchased as a service. They are recurring charges or payments for access to US Filing Services software, systems, support, services, education, and ongoing services such as compliance monitoring and support. Most subscriptions are monthly or annual.

Set-Up Fees

Some subscriptions include initial one-time setup or activation fees. These fees cover the time to set up the account, activate the technology, notify internal and third-party resources, and conduct a review of the business to ensure the organization is currently in good standing with the state or federal government. Set-up fees are non-refundable.

Payment Terms

If a subscription is purchased, charges will be made monthly and/or at the beginning of the Subscription Term, depending on the package selected at the time of purchase. The length of the Subscription Term will depend on the option selected at the time of purchase. US Filing Services currently offers monthly and annual subscriptions.

By choosing a subscription product or service, clients agree that US Filing Services may store one or more payment methods for the account and authorize US Filing Services to charge these payment methods as explained in these terms. US Filing Services may obtain automatic updates for any expiring credit cards provided.

Even if products or services are not used, clients are responsible for paying the full subscription cost until it is canceled or otherwise terminated. For more information about canceling a subscription, see the Termination and Cancellation section below.

i. Initial Subscription Term

The Subscription Term begins as soon as the initial payment is processed. The date that the initial payment is processed will be considered the “Billing Date” and will be used to determine when future payments are due.

If an annual subscription paid monthly is chosen, clients will continue to be billed monthly at the cost agreed to at the time of purchase for the entire year of the initial Subscription Term.

ii. Auto-Renewal of Subscription

Monthly Subscriptions: If a monthly subscription is selected, the subscription automatically renews each month without notice until canceled.

Annual Subscriptions: If an annual subscription is selected, the subscription automatically renews each year. Clients may be sent a reminder email before the subscription renews. Unless required by law in the state of residence, US Filing Services is not obligated to provide this notice. If a renewal reminder is not received or not sent, the client is still required to pay for the subscription if it is not canceled prior to renewal.

If an annual subscription paid annually (referred to as an “Annual plan, prepaid”) is purchased, the client is responsible for paying the entire annual subscription cost when the subscription renews.

If an annual subscription paid monthly (referred to as an “Annual plan, paid monthly”) is purchased, the client is responsible for paying all twelve monthly payments once the subscription has been renewed. The first monthly payment will be collected at the time of subscription renewal.

Clients may stop the automatic renewal of subscriptions with US Filing Services. No further charges will be made for subscriptions that are declined for renewal. Products and services included in the subscription will remain available until the last day of service. Once the subscription ends, US Filing Services will stop providing the related services, and the client is responsible for updating all necessary information with the Secretary of State and any other agencies or stakeholders. Clients can opt back into an automatic subscription renewal at any time, provided the subscription has not already been terminated.

iii. Changes in the Cost of Subscription

The subscription cost will be the same as the cost at purchase unless adjusted by US Filing Services. Clients will be notified in writing before the new subscription cost is charged in the event of an adjustment.

iv. Changes in Billing Date

Unless the subscription is canceled, clients will be automatically charged for the cost of the subscription on the Billing Date. If the purchase date is on the 29th through the 31st day of any month, the Billing Date for any payments due in months with fewer days will fall on the last day of the month.

US Filing Services may adjust the Billing Date and is not required to provide advance notice of the adjustment. If the Billing Date is adjusted, this will be reflected by a charge to the account on a prorated basis according to the number of days that have passed since the Billing Date of the latest renewal charge.

Promotional Trial Subscriptions

US Filing Services sometimes offers customers trial subscriptions, all of which are subject to these Subscription Terms (unless otherwise stated in the offer). For a trial or other promotional membership with no initial charge, US Filing Services may authorize a charge of up to one dollar ($1) to the payment method to verify the payment source. At the completion of a trial membership, unless canceled by calling [TFN] or through the US Filing Services portal, the subscription will renew automatically, and the credit card will be charged to begin the initial membership term.

State and Government Filing Fees

If a Compliance service is purchased, state compliance event filing fees will be billed at the time of any compliance event (e.g., Annual Reports) unless disclosed otherwise.

Payment Failures

If a payment fails or is expired, US Filing Services will notify the client, and access to the Services will be suspended until payment is received. Clients may elect to discontinue some or all of their paid services at any time by contacting support@US Filing Services.com. Should any of the paid services be discontinued prior to the expiration of the initial 12-month term, a cancellation fee and any other expenses paid or incurred by US Filing Services, including state or third-party vendor fees, may be required.

Cancellation

Subscriptions may be canceled at any time. Please note that once cancelation occurs, US Filings is not obligated to continue service or to provide prorated services based on payments received.

Refunds

To cancel a subscription or add-on service, clients must contact customer support within seven (7) days of signing up for a full refund, less any start-up, set-up, activation fees, state, or other third-party fees. Subscriptions or services can be canceled after seven (7) days, but no refunds will be issued.

Future Products and Services

If a client chooses to add a product or service to an order after an initial purchase, these Terms of Service will also apply to that additional product or service.
