Your use of this site and/or any of the products or services offered on our site (collectively, the “Services”) is subject to these Terms and Conditions of Use (these “Terms”). Registered Biz Agents, Inc. may modify these Terms at any time without notice to you, but by posting revised Terms on our sites. Your use of our site constitutes your binding acceptance of these Terms, including any modifications that we make.

 

Some of the Services may be subject to additional posted conditions. Your use of those Services is subject to those conditions, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. In the event of an inconsistency between these Terms and any additional posted conditions, the provisions of the additional conditions shall control.

 

Registered Agent Services:

 

As your Registered Agent, we will accept a variety of Legal Documents on your company’s behalf and upload them into the online account that we assign to you. For the annual service fee, we will accept up to 15 service of process, important communications, and legal documents of any kind (“Legal Documents”) per year on your behalf. We reserve the right, and you agree, that an additional 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 agree not to use or misrepresent Registered Biz Agent’s address as your company’s place of business, mailing address, or publish the address on any media including, but not limited to, business cards, flyers, or other advertisements. The role of a Registered Agent is to accept and forward various legal or government notices to you and any unauthorized use may result in the termination of service.

 

Additionally, you may be charged for any physical document forwarding requests. 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.” Our Registered Agent Service is intended for Legal Documents and not “Regular Documents”. All regular documents received may be subject to additional fees and if abused, we may elect to terminate service.

 

We do not perpetually retain the original copies of documents received by our offices. We expect that clients diligently act to request the original document or mailing to be forwarded. 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.

 

Any packages containing items other than legal documents arriving at our office will be refused upon delivery or returned to their location of origin if immediate refusal is not possible. In the event that neither refusal nor return of the package is an option, you will be informed that we have it in our possession. By using our Registered Agent Service you agree that, if we 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 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 notification before properly disposing of them.

 

When Registered Agent Service with us is canceled or terminated, you acknowledge and agree that:

 

• 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

 

• Upon termination, at our discretion we have the right to remove ourselves and our address, which may result in you or your company going into default and/or loss of licenses, good standing, or approval to perform work by various agencies; and

 

• You are responsible to pay any and all outstanding invoices; and

 

• You are responsible for any regular, non-discounted, and a la carte fees which may occur as a result of unbundling due to the termination of any Service(s); and

 

• You are responsible for any invoices generated or fees incurred after the expiration of any free trial of any Service(s); and

 

• Anyone who has access to your account has the proper authority to cancel Services; and

 

• The termination is binding on the company(s); and

 

• Upon termination, you waive any and all rights or claims of statutory damages or tort claims; and

 

• You will NOT file a “change of address” request with the United States Postal Service (“USPS”).

 

We may terminate your Registered Agent Service at any time. Reasons for termination may include, but are not limited to: (i) your failure to provide accurate, complete and current information for your account; (ii) the inability to locate you after reasonable efforts are made; (iii) your failure to pay for your Service; (iv) improper use of the services, or (v) suspected illegal activity.

 

You may terminate your Service by contacting us at 800-807-2015 to cancel. If we receive any documents on your behalf after you have canceled your account, you can either sign up for new registered agent services, pay for all Services provided by us prior to your cancellation, or pay a per document fee to view the document.

 

Once we are no longer your registered agent, if we receive further Legal Documents on your behalf, we will send an email notice to the last known email address that we have on file for you. If you want to view a Legal Document, you will need to renew your service with us, pay any fees incurred prior to cancellation or pay a per document fee in order to view the Legal Document. Once you take one of these actions, we will upload the Legal Document so that you can view it.

 

You waive and release us from any obligation to forward or re-mail documents that are received after your registered agent Service has been terminated and you specifically agree that we have no obligation to forward or re-mail any documents to you except as outlined in these Terms. You further agree to hold us and our affiliates harmless from any third-party claim arising out of a delay or failure of you to receive Legal Documents after your registered agent Service has been terminated.

 

Statement of Information Management Services:

 

If subscribed to the statement of information management services, Registered Biz Agents will contact you approximately 3 months before your Statement of Information’s submission deadline to collect updated information for the filing. Once the information required for the filing is confirmed and/or collected, we will charge the credit card on file and then complete the filing with the California Secretary of State. If Client is unresponsive and fails to confirm/provide the required information to complete the filing, or if the credit card on file declines, Registered Biz Agent may elect to terminate service. Payment is required before we submit the filing.

 

Chargebacks:

 

A $45.00 dollar fee will be added to any chargeback attempt on a credit card purchase. A chargeback occurs when a cardholder contacts his/her bank to request a reversal on a credit card purchase before contacting the merchant. Full restitution or payment arrangements must be made within 15 calendar days from the date of notification otherwise your account will be sent to a collection service. If your account is sent to collections, you will be billed for collection fees plus any other costs incurred as a result of the chargeback.

 

Force Majeure:

 

We shall not be considered to be in breach or default of these Terms, and shall not be liable for any cessation, interruption, or delay in the performance of our Services or other obligations by reason of earthquake, flood, fire, storm, lightning, drought, landslide, hurricane, cyclone, typhoon, tornado, natural disaster, act of God or of the public enemy, epidemic, famine or plague, action of a court or public authority, change in law, explosion, war, terrorism, armed conflict, labor strike, lockout, boycott or other similar even that is beyond our reasonable control, whether foreseen or unforeseen (each a “Force Majeure Event”).

 

If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than sixty days in the aggregate, we may immediately terminate our Services and shall have no liability for, or as a result of, any such termination.
