Copyright Infringement:

(a) Notice. Inc Authority has in place certain legally mandated procedures regarding allegations of copyright infringement. We have adopted a policy that provides for the immediate suspension and/or termination of any user who is found to have infringed on our rights or those of a third party, or otherwise violated any intellectual laws or regulations. Our policy is to act expeditiously upon receipt of proper notification of claimed copyright infringement to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. If you have evidence, know, or have a good faith belief that your rights or the rights of a third party have been violated and you want us to delete, edit, or disable the material in question, you must provide the Company with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail): (1) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (2) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site; (3) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material; (4) Information reasonably sufficient to permit the Company to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, email address; (5) A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (6) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

M. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND INC AUTHORITY TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION M(g), BELOW. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. IN ADDITION, ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND INC AUTHORITY FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL.

(a) No Representative Actions. You and Inc Authority agree that any dispute or claim between us, including those arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, is personal to you and Inc Authority 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. For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to "Inc Authority," "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. Beneficiaries include, but are not limited to, those named in an estate planning document.

(b) Arbitration of Disputes. Most concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by calling our Customer Care Center at (877) 432-6366. In the unlikely event that the Inc Authority team is unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute with you after attempting to do so informally), this Section applies. Except for (i) individual actions in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or (ii) actions in court seeking injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and Inc Authority agree to waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in court. 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 website. This Arbitration Agreement applies to all Disputes based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, Disputes arising before you accepted these or any prior Terms, Disputes that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class, and Disputes asserted against Inc Authority by those you list as authorized contacts on your order.

(c) Arbitration Procedures. For any Dispute that you have against Inc Authority, or that Inc Authority has against you, you and Inc Authority agree to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally via the following process. If you assert a claim against Inc Authority, you will first contact Inc Authority by sending a written notice of your Dispute (“Claimant Notice”) to Inc Authority by U.S. certified mail addressed to Notice of Dispute, General Counsel, Inc Authority, LLC, 954 Villa Street, Mountain View, CA 94041; a courtesy copy of the Notice should also be sent by email to [email protected]. The Claimant Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. For any Dispute that Inc Authority may have against you, we will provide you notice (“Inc Authority Notice”) in similar form to that described above via the mailing address and email address associated with your account. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for thirty (30) days from the date that either you or Inc Authority first send the applicable Notice so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute resolution process.

If you and Inc Authority cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after notice is provided, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding confidential arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, under the limited circumstances set forth herein, in court. All Disputes submitted to AAA will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Unless the parties agree in writing to a different location, arbitration proceedings will be held in Los Angeles County, CA; if you are a Consumer, however, you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence. For purposes of this, a “Consumer” means a person using the Services for personal, family or household purposes.

If you are a Consumer, you and Inc Authority agree to use the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. If you are not a Consumer, you and Inc Authority agree to use the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, including the Expedited Procedures for all Disputes with a value of $75,000 or less. The most recent versions of the AAA Consumer and Commercial Arbitration Rules are available on the AAA’s website adr.org/Rules and such rules are hereby incorporated by reference into this Arbitration 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.

You and Inc Authority acknowledge that the purpose of this Section is to streamline the dispute resolution process and that Coordinated Filings are likely to frustrate that purpose. As a result, you agree not to assert a demand for arbitration as part of a Coordinated Filing. A “Coordinated Filing” is any demand for arbitration where the underlying claim is similar to at least ten (10) or more other pending demands for arbitration and where representation for that demand is consistent or coordinated with such other demands. Without limiting any remedies, in the event your demand is part of a Coordinated Filing, we may, at our option, decline arbitration and instead litigate the claim in a civil court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the terms of Section N.

(d) Individualized Arbitration Proceedings and Remedies. You and Inc Authority agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and 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 exclusive authority to grant any relief that would otherwise be available in court and to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute, including those arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Arbitration 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.

(e) Confidentiality. The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute. You and Inc Authority 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. You and Inc Authority 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.

(f) Payment of Arbitration Fees. The costs of arbitration shall be governed by the AAA’s fee schedules, available at adr.org/Rules. If you are a Consumer and you initiate arbitration of a Dispute, you agree to pay the applicable AAA Consumer Case Filing Fee, and Inc Authority will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs. If you are not a Consumer and you initiate arbitration of a Dispute valued at less than $75,000, you agree to pay $250 towards any arbitration filing fees and Inc Authority will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs. If you are not a Consumer and your arbitration proceeding is valued at $75,000 or more, you and Inc Authority will share equally the costs and fees of AAA Commercial Arbitration. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all AAA fees will be governed by the applicable AAA Rules.

(g) Opt Out of Arbitration. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section by sending, via U.S. certified mail, a written Notice of Opt Out to Inc Authority. The Notice of Opt Out must be addressed to: Notice of Opt Out, General Counsel, General Counsel, Inc Authority, LLC, 954 Villa Street, Mountain View, CA 94041; a courtesy copy of the Notice of Opt Out should also be sent by email to [email protected]. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section N, though, as stated above, you agree any such action will be brought as an individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.

(h) Additional Terms. If any portion of this Section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section; and (c) to the extent that any claims must proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

If you wish to seek public injunctive relief against Inc Authority, such claim (and only such claim) must be severed from the arbitration and brought in court in accordance with the provisions of Section N.

You and Inc Authority agree that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in Los Angeles County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over the enforcement of an arbitration award made pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.

N. Governing law; Venue. Any dispute arising from these terms or your use of Inc Authority’s website, products, or services will be governed by and construed and enforced according to California law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California. You consent to personal and exclusive jurisdiction in these courts.

O. NO WARRANTY. THE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND INFORMATION YOU RECEIVE FROM INC AUTHORITY ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INC AUTHORITY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, INC AUTHORITY OFFERS A REFUND POLICY, THE TERMS OF WHICH ARE SET FORTH IN SECTION W, BELOW.

THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO THE PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES BY NORTH CAROLINA CONSUMERS.

P. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU WILL HOLD INC AUTHORITY AND ITS OWNERS, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, PARENTS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, REPRESENTATIVES, FRANCHISEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, ATTORNEYS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS HARMLESS FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND ALL RELATED COSTS AND EXPENSES OF LITIGATION AND ARBITRATION, OR AT TRIAL OR ON APPEAL, IF ANY, WHETHER OR NOT LITIGATION OR ARBITRATION IS INSTITUTED) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR ANY VIOLATION BY YOU OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAWS, STATUTES, RULES, OR REGULATIONS, EVEN IF INC AUTHORITY HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, IF THERE IS LIABILITY FOUND ON THE PART OF INC AUTHORITY, YOU AGREE THAT ANY RESULTING DAMAGES WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES, AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THERE BE CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHICH MAY AFFECT THE WAY THIS PARAGRAPH APPLIES TO YOU.

Q. Third-party websites. Our website may contain links to websites owned and operated by third parties. You acknowledge and agree that Inc Authority is not responsible for and makes no guarantees about the availability, contents, products, services or use of any third-party website.

S. Right to Refuse. You acknowledge that Inc Authority reserves the right to refuse service to anyone and to cancel user access at any time.

T. Severability. Any provision of any relevant terms and conditions, policies and notices, which is or becomes unenforceable in any jurisdiction, whether due to being void, invalid, illegal, unlawful or for any reason whatever, shall, in such jurisdiction only and only to the extent that it is so unenforceable, be treated as void and the remaining provisions of any relevant terms and conditions, policies and notices shall remain in full force and effect.

U. Force Majeure. Inc Authority shall not be considered in breach of or default under these Terms of Service or any contract with me, and shall not be liable to me for any cessation, interruption, or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder by reason of earthquake, flood, fire, storm, lightning, drought, landslide, hurricane, cyclone, typhoon, tornado, natural disaster, act of God or 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 similar event beyond our reasonable control, whether foreseen or unforeseen (each a “Force Majeure Event”).

Subscription Terms

A. Subscription billing and automatic renewal. By choosing a subscription product or service, you agree that Inc Authority may store one or more payment methods for your account, and you are authorizing Inc Authority to charge these payment methods as explained in these terms. We may obtain automatic updates for any expiring credit cards you have provided. Even if you do not use our products or services, you are responsible for paying the full cost of your subscription until you cancel your subscription or until it is otherwise terminated.

Your subscription term begins as soon as your initial payment is processed. The date that your initial payment is processed will be considered your “Billing Date” and will be used to determine when your future payments are due.

You may be sent a reminder email before your subscription renews. Unless required by law in the state where you reside, we are not obligated to provide this notice. If you do not receive a renewal reminder, or we fail to send a renewal reminder, you will still be required to pay for your subscription if you do not cancel the subscription prior to its renewal.

B. Changes to your subscription.

(a) Subscription cost. The cost of your subscription is subject to change, but you will be notified in advance of any change in your subscription price. If you do not cancel your subscription, you will be deemed to have accepted the new renewal term moving forward.

(b) Billing date. We may adjust your billing date and are not required to tell you in advance if we make an adjustment. If we adjust your billing date, this will be reflected by a charge to your account on a prorated basis according to the number of days that have passed since the billing date of your latest renewal charge.

(c) Renewal term. To the extent permitted by law, Inc Authority may increase or decrease the renewal term at our discretion by notifying you of the new renewal term at least 30 days before the beginning of a renewal term. If you do not cancel your subscription, you will be deemed to have accepted the new renewal term moving forward.

(d) Discontinuation and Replacement of Subscriptions. Should Inc Authority cease to offer your subscription, we can discontinue your subscription, continue to provide it to you, or provision a replacement (similar or comparable product) at the then-current price. Additional fees may be charged for such replacement subscription. Inc Authority will notify you of new fees at least 30 days before they become effective.

(e) General Changes. Inc Authority may discontinue the offering of a subscription, including the functionality, content, or availability of any features of subscriptions, at any time in its sole discretion. We may also impose limits on features and services or restrict your access to all or part of the Subscription. However, you have the right to cancel your membership should we materially decrease benefits. If we add new features to a Subscription, those new features will be subject to these Subscription Terms.

(f) Adjustment of billing date for additional subscriptions. If you add a product or service to your subscription, Inc Authority has the discretion to charge you a prorated portion of the costs to align your renewal date with your current subscription. Inc Authority will provide you notice before doing so.

C. Termination or cancellation of subscriptions by Inc Authority. Inc Authority may terminate your use of all or part of the subscriptions in its sole discretion. As your sole remedy, we may refund to you any prepaid fees specifically related to the current term of that subscription.

Your right to use a subscription is subject to any limits established by Inc Authority or by your credit card issuer. If payment cannot be charged to your credit card or your charge is returned for any reason, including through a chargeback, Inc Authority may, in its sole and absolute discretion, suspend or terminate your access and account, which will terminate these Subscription Terms and our obligations under them. If a charge made to your credit card is declined, Inc Authority may attempt to bill that card until your Subscription is terminated.

If you wish to reactivate your account after a termination, there will be no setup or reactivation fees. However, if your account was terminated for nonpayment, it will be reactivated only after Inc Authority receives the full amount past due. If an expired account is reactivated, the new term begins on the reactivation date.

D. Cancellation of subscriptions by Subscriber. You may cancel your subscription at any time by calling 877-684-2836 or by sending an email to [email protected] with your name, business entity the subscription relates to, and the name of the subscription. Subject to the Registered Agent Subscription terms set forth below, you may also be required to provide satisfactory proof regarding the replacement of Inc Authority as your entity’s Registered Agent or the discontinuation of your business. Requests for cancelations will not be retroactive and you will not be entitled to a pro-rated refund for any part of your previous subscription payment. After you have cancelled, your subscription will remain active until the end of the then-current billing period, but will not subsequently renew.

Registered Agent Subscriptions

A. Authorization to act as Registered Agent. By purchasing any product that includes a Registered Agent subscription, including the purchase of an LLC or Corporation formation product from us, you authorize Inc Authority—either directly or via a trade name or service partner—to serve as the Registered Agent for your entity.

B. Penalties for late payment. Our Registered Agent Service automatically renews each year. Should you fail to pay your Registered Agent Service subscription fee by the renewal date, Inc Authority may assess a late penalty of $50 dollars.

C. Assignment of new registered agent prior to cancelling subscription. If your business continues to be active with the state filing office (or other government agency) then prior to cancelling your Registered Agent subscription, you must assign another registered agent in that jurisdiction or act as your own registered agent, where lawful, and must pay all fees related to changing your agent (including appointment and/or registration fees). You must notify Inc Authority that you have properly changed registered agents before your next renewal and provide us with satisfactory written proof that we (including our service partners) are no longer listed as your registered agent.

You are solely responsible for notifying senders (including all government agencies) of your new registered agent address upon assignment of a new registered agent.

D. Discontinuation of business prior to cancelling subscription. If you are discontinuing your business operations (voluntarily or otherwise), you must provide Inc Authority with satisfactory written proof that your entity has been voluntarily dissolved with the state filing office, or that its status with the state filing office (or other government agency) is inactive (e.g., revoked, suspended, forfeited, cancelled, noncompliant, delinquent, or administratively dissolved) by the next billing date. If you cancel your registered agent subscription because your entity has been voluntarily dissolved or its status is inactive, we may remain your entity’s registered agent or in our sole discretion and in accordance with state filing offices requirements, may resign as your entity’s registered agent.

E. Handling of mail after assignment or resignation. After you replace Inc Authority as your registered agent, or Inc Authority otherwise resigns, any Legal Mail that your Registered Agent receives on your behalf will be marked "Return to Sender" if it is first class mail or destroyed if it is not. You waive and release your Registered Agent from compliance with any obligation to forward or re-mail Legal Mail received after your subscription has been terminated and specifically agree that your Registered Agent has no obligation to forward or re-mail Legal Mail to you except as expressly stated in this Agreement. You agree to hold Inc Authority, your Registered Agent and the affiliates of each harmless from any claim to the contrary.

F. Limitations on use of our Registered Agent address. Registered Agent's services are limited to the receipt and forwarding of legal mail, and do not include the provision of a business mailing. There is no obligation to forward any items received through the unauthorized use of our Registered Agent address and neither we, nor our service providers, assume liability to you or any other party for loss of such items. You assume all liability for such losses regardless of whether you had approved or initiated the unauthorized use. We may seek reimbursement from you for any and all costs incurred in connection with the unauthorized use of the Registered Agent address. Further, you also agree not to represent or misleadingly suggest that our Registered Agent address is your place of business, your location of operations or business records, or is a physical address at which third parties can find you.
