No guarantee is made regarding the accuracy or reliability of the Services, and use is at the user’s own risk.

Corporate Transparency Act Filing may modify, suspend, or terminate any part of the Services at any time, without liability to you. These Terms of Use will remain in effect even after your access to the Services is terminated or your use of the Services ends.
Resolution of Disputes:
The Governing Law: The Terms of Use will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Waiver of Court Actions and Jury Trials: You and Corporate Transparency Act Filing agree to forgo the right to litigate claims in court, have a jury trial, or participate in class or representative actions regarding a claim. Other rights available in a court, such as access to discovery, may also be limited or unavailable in arbitration.
Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notification: Before initiating arbitration, the party wishing to arbitrate must provide the other party with at least 60 days’ written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. Corporate Transparency Act Filing will send this notice via email to your registered email address, and you must provide notice by contacting us through the contact information in the “Contact Us” section below. During this 60-day period, the parties will attempt to amicably resolve disputes through discussions. If no amicable resolution is reached and the notice period expires, either party can commence arbitration.

Either Corporate Transparency Act Filing or you may seek interim or preliminary relief from a court in Broward County, Florida, as necessary to protect rights or property.
These provisions govern the resolution of legal disputes between you and Corporate Transparency Act Filing when an amicable resolution is not possible.
Miscellaneous:
No Waiver: Corporate Transparency Act Filing’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision. In other words, if Corporate Transparency Act Filing doesn’t act on a particular clause or right within these terms, it doesn’t mean they’ve given up that right for the future.
Entire Agreement: These Terms of Use, along with the Privacy Policy and any additional agreements you may enter into with Corporate Transparency Act Filing concerning their Services, make up the entire agreement between you and the company regarding their Services. This means that any previous agreements or terms you might have had with Corporate Transparency Act Filing are replaced by these terms.
Severability: If any provision in these Terms of Use is found to be invalid, it will be adjusted or removed to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid. All other provisions in these terms will remain in full effect. In essence, if one part of the terms is legally unenforceable, it won’t affect the rest of the agreement.
Limitation of Claims: Regardless of any contrary statute or law, any claim or legal action related to your use of the Services must be filed within one year after the claim arose. If you don’t file your claim within this time frame, you won’t be able to bring that claim at a later date.
