3. Use of Address

(a) Your ability to use our address is strictly dependent on the Service you purchase from us. For example, if only registered agent service is purchased from us, then our address may only be used for the strict purpose of supplying individuals and organizations with notice of who and where to serve any service of process or legal notice. Alternatively, if you have purchased other Services from us, then specifics of how to use our address will be contained within subsequent written communications which are incorporated into these Terms by reference herein.

4. Our Filing and Registered Agent Services

(a) Authorization to Receive Service of Process & Other Legal Documents.

As part of our duties as your registered agent, we need to accept a variety of legal documents on your behalf and upload them into the online account we provide you. You authorize us to receive up to 15 service of process, important communications, and legal documents of any kind (“Legal Documents”) on your behalf per year. We reserve the right, and you agree, that a fee may be applied to your account for Legal Documents received above the current 15 per year limit. You also acknowledge and agree that this fee may be subject to change as a result of our sole discretion and determination. You also agree that we can open, scan, upload and transmit the Legal Documents into your account in connection with providing Services to you. Registered agent services are limited to the receipt of service of process as well as the receipt and forwarding of Legal Documents, and do not include the receipt of any general or regular mail or other items. Accordingly, we do not assume liability to you, or any third party, for loss of mail or other items which are not Legal Documents.

(b) Regular Documents.

Not all documents are created equally. The documents that we receive at our addresses on your company’s behalf which are not communications from the Secretary of State related to your company’s registration nor documents related to legal service of process are considered by us to be “Regular Documents.” Depending on which services you have purchased from us, there may be a limit on how many Regular Documents will be accepted by our office on your company’s behalf without incurring additional fees. Additionally, you may be charged for any physical document forwarding requests that exceed your purchased limits. You agree to pay the fees that we post to your account related to any Regular Documents which we receive on your company’s behalf in excess of your purchased service limit. This includes any fees posted in relation to requests to forward physical documents. While we strive to process your Regular Documents as quickly as possible, you agree that we are not liable for any missed deadlines, time limits or other time sensitive Regular Documents we may receive, regardless if such Regular Documents are within your purchased service limit or not.

We may work with third-party providers to provide some Services. You acknowledge and agree that these service providers may assist us in providing you with Services.

(d) Provision of Accurate and Current Information.

You agree that you are solely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, and appropriateness of your information. You agree that the accuracy of filings which we make on your behalf depends on the information you provide and you agree to promptly notify us when any of your information changes. In the event that any information changes, you agree to notify us of that change immediately. Your failure to maintain accurate and up-to-date information is a material breach of our Terms, and is grounds for immediate termination of Services(s).

(e) Destruction of Documents.

We do not perpetually retain the original copies of documents received by our offices. We expect that clients and their beneficiaries will diligently and promptly act to avoid any delivery of vital documents to our offices. In the event such documents or other mailings are delivered to our offices, we expect that clients and their beneficiaries will diligently act to request the original document or mailing to be forwarded to the client. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all such forwarding requests will be at the client’s expense. All documents and mailings are destroyed after thirty (30) days following the digital scanning of the documents and mailings.

(f) Electronic Records and Signatures.

We may need to file documents on your behalf so you consent to us affixing your electronic or hard copy signature in order to file documents on your behalf.

5. Receipt of Packages

Although we will accept and receive packages on your behalf, we are not acting as a bailee or warehouse and owe no duty of care in the holding and/or shipping of packages. If we receive a package on your behalf, you will be informed that we have it in our possession. If you would like the package delivered to the address associated with your account, you will be responsible for all shipping associated with the shipment of the package. You will also be responsible for the insuring of the package. We will only hold packages for 14 days from the date of receipt and then return the package to its location of origin thereafter. Packages be properly disposed of if such packages cannot be returned to their location of origin .

6. Document Storage Policy

(a) It is optional for users to upload documents via email to their client portal and comes as a benefit to having an online account with us.

If we, in our sole discretion, determine that you are in violation of these Terms while providing you with service, then we may terminate any and all services connected to your account. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with these Terms.

7. Intellectual Property License

(a) If you choose to use this document storage feature, then you agree to provide us with a worldwide non-exclusive royalty-free license to use your content, which includes any of your intellectual property stored on our systems, in order to provide you with such services and features, to improve our operations along with your experience, and to develop new technologies and services.

(b) This license allows us to host, reproduce, distribute, communicate, and use your content in the course of providing you service — for example, to save your content on our systems and make it accessible to you and us, regardless of where you may be located. You also agree that we may sub-license these rights to our representatives, subsidiaries, partners, affiliates, contractors, and other third-parties that are necessary to provide you with such services.

(c) This license to use your intellectual property lasts until such time that you take affirmative steps to actually delete or remove the content from your online account.

(a) When any Service with us is canceled or terminated, you acknowledge and agree that:

(i) Upon termination, we are released from any and all liability or duty we had or that we continue to have to notify you about lawsuits or any mail that we might continue to receive, even if our office address is still listed on any part of the corporate filing or if we are still listed as the registered agent; and

18. Disputes

YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WE RESERVE THE SOLE AND ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTE PRIOR TO OR IN LIEU OF OTHER TYPES OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION AS REQUIRED BELOW.

PLEASE READ THESE SECTIONS CAREFULLY BECAUSE: 1. IT ONLY APPLIES TO INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES WHO HAVE FORMED LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACTS UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, 2. IT MAY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US AND 3. IF ARBITRATION IS SELECTED BY US, SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL PRECLUDE YOU FROM SUING US IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL.

Disputes. You agree that any Dispute (defined below) or claim between you and us is personal to you and us and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding (“Agreement”). This Agreement applies to all Disputes based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, including but not limited to Disputes asserted against us by those you list as authorized contacts on your order.

By your access and or continued use of the Site and or Services, you agree to waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to any product or service purchased from us (collectively, “Dispute(s)”) resolved in the manner as described herein. Disputes include, but are not limited to, (a) those arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, and (b) those related to advertising, privacy, data security, and the use of our Site. Questions regarding the arbitrability of a dispute or claim between you and us are not included in the definition of a Dispute and are to be adjudicated by a court of law as set forth below. For the purposes of this Agreement, references to “you” and “us” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, employers, business partners, shareholders, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms or any prior agreements between us.

Required Procedures. For any Dispute you agree to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally via the following process. If you assert a claim against us, you will first contact us by sending a written notice of your Dispute (“Claimant Notice”) to us by U.S. certified mail addressed to Notice of Dispute, Legal Department, Wyoming Registered Agent, 1621 Central Avenue, Cheyenne WY 82001. The Claimant Notice must (i) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; (iii) set forth the specific relief sought; (iv) identify whether the party contends the Dispute is within the scope of this Agreement and is arbitrable; and (v) be personally signed (in the case of any digital signature, the digital signature shall comply with the requirements of the federal E-Sign Act).

For a period of sixty (60) days from receipt of a completed notice (which can be extended by agreement of the parties), you agree to negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the Dispute. Completion of this mandatory dispute resolution process (“Process”) is a condition precedent to initiating any Dispute against us. If an arbitration has been commenced any arbitration then underway shall be stayed. The court shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees. Nothing in this Section limits this the right of a party to seek damages for non-compliance with this Process. All applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) will be tolled from the date of receipt of a completed notice through the conclusion of this Process.

You also agree that the laws of the State of Washington will govern these Terms and any Dispute without regard to conflict of law provisions. You also agree and submit to personal jurisdiction, for the purpose of litigating any such Dispute, to the laws and courts of the State of Washington. Without prejudice to the foregoing, you agree that, in our sole discretion, we may bring any claim, cause of action, or dispute we have against you in any competent court in the country or county in which you reside that may have jurisdiction over the claim.

Any claim under these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred. No recovery may be sought or received for damages except that the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees.

Upon Notice of Arbitration by Us:

Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes.

(a) Arbitration Procedures.

(i) If the parties unable to resolve any such Dispute after completion of the Process discussed herein, and the Dispute, in our sole and absolute discretion, falls within the scope of this Agreement and is arbitrable, then we may submit the Dispute to binding confidential arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Other than submitted arbitrable Disputes by us, Disputes must be submitted to the federal court sitting in Spokane County, Washington or, if the federal court in Spokane County, Washington is not available, then the state court in Spokane County, Washington. Said court shall make a preliminary determination as to whether the Dispute falls within the scope of this Agreement and is arbitrable.

(ii) All Disputes submitted to AAA will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator.

(iii) You agree to use the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, including the Expedited Procedures for all Disputes, except for the AAA rules concerning the arbitrability of Disputes, which may be exclusively determined by a court as set forth herein. The most current version of the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules is available on the AAA’s website at AAA Rules, Forms & Fees | ADR.org, and such rules are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the applicable AAA Arbitration Rules or waive your opportunity to read the AAA Arbitration Rules and waive any claim that such rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason. If AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with this arbitration agreement, the parties shall agree on an alternative administrator that will do so. If the parties cannot agree, they shall petition the federal court sitting in Spokane County, Washington or, if the federal court in Spokane County to appoint an administrator that will do so. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs, including costs for expert and other witnesses, to the prevailing party.

(iv) You acknowledge that the purpose of this Section is to streamline the dispute resolution process and that Coordinated Filings or Mass Arbitration’s are likely to frustrate that purpose. A “Coordinated Filing” or a “Mass Arbitration” is any demand for arbitration where the underlying claim is similar to at least five (5) or more other demands for arbitration regarding the same or substantially similar issues filed by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations. We may, at our option, decline arbitration and instead litigate the claim in a civil court of competent jurisdiction as determined by us. In the event that a Dispute is part of a Coordinated Filing or a Mass Arbitration, our respective Dispute(s) will be arbitrated in a coordinated fashion such that arbitrator shall: (1) administer the arbitration demands together; (2) appoint one arbitrator for the coordinated demands; and (3) issue one set of case management, hearing and administrative fees due per side, one procedural calendar, and one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the provisions of this paragraph, the disagreeing party shall advise the arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall stay the arbitration pending a determination of the applicability of this Section and process by a court. In such a proceeding, the prevailing party may recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in connection therewith.

(b) Individualized Arbitration Proceedings and Remedies.

(i) You agree that the enforceability of this Section will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have authority to grant any relief that would otherwise be available in court, including but not limited to public injunctive relief, and to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute, including those arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this Agreement, and including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Agreement or any portion thereof. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one claimant, except for Coordinated Filings or Mass Arbitrations.

(ii) Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from litigating in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator and or seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.

The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute. Both parties agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and/or other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. The parties agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, and/or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.

(d) Payment of Arbitration Fees.

The costs of arbitration shall be governed by the AAA’s fee schedules, available at AAA Rules, Forms & Fees | ADR.org. Both parties agree to pay the its respective shares of the applicable AAA Commercial Case Filing Fee and all other AAA fees and costs. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of a Dispute is frivolous or was brought by an initiating party for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the initiating party will be required to pay all AAA fees.

Any Dispute between you and us will be governed by the laws of the State of Washington without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. You hereby consent and agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for all suits, actions, or proceedings directly which are not otherwise arbitrable, shall be the federal court sitting in Spokane County, Washington. You waive any and all objections to such courts, including but not limited to, objections based on personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or inconvenient forum, and each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suits, actions, or proceedings.

19. Indemnification

(a) You agree to protect, defend, indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, judgments, penalties, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and all related costs and expenses for litigation and/or arbitration) suffered or incurred by us, including, without limitation, any claim arising from:
