Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED OR FEEL HARMED BY BUSINESS BOARDING, THE SERVICES, OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THE SERVICES, YOU MAY STOP USING THE SERVICES. TERMINATION IS YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. IN PARTICULAR, WE DISCLAIM THAT THE SERVICES WILL RESULT IN ANY PARTICULAR FINANCIAL BENEFIT OR OTHER BENEFIT OR SUCCESS TO CUSTOMERS IN ANY WAY.

WE NEITHER WARRANT NOR REPRESENT THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL NOT INFRINGE THE RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES WILL FUNCTION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR WITHOUT ERRORS. THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE WEBSITE, MAY BE INTERRUPTED DUE TO MAINTENANCE, UPDATES, OR SYSTEM OR NETWORK FAILURES. WE DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY SUCH INTERRUPTION OR ERRORS. FURTHERMORE, WE DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY MALFUNCTIONS, IMPOSSIBILITY OF ACCESS, OR POOR USE CONDITIONS OF THE SERVICES DUE TO INAPPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT, DISTURBANCES RELATED TO INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS, TO THE SATURATION OF THE INTERNET OR ANY OTHER NETWORK, AND FOR ANY OTHER REASON.

Cancellation Policy and Termination

Business Boarding may, at its sole discretion, refuse or cancel existing Services to any person or entity for any reason, including for misuse of Business Boarding promotions. For example, if Business Boarding were to offer a promotion (such as a promotion on state incorporation), such promotion can only be used once by a Customer and attempting to use such promotion more than once by the same Customer is misuse of Business Boarding promotions. In such a case, Business Boarding reserves the right to refuse service or cancel any orders in which a Customer is misusing an Business Boarding promotion by attempting to use such promotion a second time or more. Business Boarding is not responsible for any damage or loss that may result from Business Boarding’s refusal or cancellation of Services for any reason.

An order is generally refundable until payment is forwarded to any government entity, such as a state or the U.S. federal government (typically within twenty-four hours after an order is placed), less a $30.00 cancellation fee and less any other expenses which have been paid or incurred in furtherance of an order, including payments to any entities, including state agencies or the Federal government or third-party vendors. Once payment has been forwarded to any government entity or third-party, Business Boarding cannot accept any cancellations or any other changes to an order. In the case of trademark filings, once a trademark search has been conducted or payment has been made to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Business Boarding cannot accept any cancellations or any other changes to an order. To request an order cancellation prior to Business Boarding making any payments to a government entity or other third-party, or prior to a search being conducted for a trademark filing, your order must be in Review status. You must place your order on hold by clicking on the make changes button inside your order confirmation email and if the cancellation request meets Business Boarding’s requirements as stated above, as determined by Business Boarding at Business Boarding’s sole discretion, then Business Boarding will honor the cancellation. Instructions to cancel an order or any other changes to an order cannot be accepted by telephone or email. Business Boarding does not dispute legitimate chargebacks. If, however, an illegitimate or improper chargeback (e.g., a chargeback requested after payment by Business Boarding to a government entity or third-party, or after a trademark search has been conducted) is submitted, Business Boarding reserves the right to take any actions Business Boarding deems appropriate at Business Boarding’s sole discretion. Such actions by Business Boarding include, but are not limited to, cancelling subscriptions or other Services and the dissolution of any entity formed for which payment was charged back or disputed by Customer. Customer shall be liable to Business Boarding for all costs incurred by Business Boarding in dissolving such legal entity. If Business Boarding is unable or unwilling to dissolve such entity, or if payment was made to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a trademark filing, Customer agrees to dissolve such entity promptly or abandon the trademark filing, at the request by Business Boarding, or be liable to Business Boarding for liquidated damages in the amount of five hundred U.S. dollars (US$500) plus any and all costs incurred by Business Boarding to collect the liquidated damages and dissolve the legal entity, including court costs, arbitration costs, legal fees, and collection costs to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Business Boarding reserves the right to dissolve any legal entity which is fraudulently formed by any person who uses a third-party’s name without authorization from such third party to form the legal entity, and any person who forms such legal entity shall be liable to Business Boarding for liquidated damages in the amount of ten thousand U.S. dollars (US$10,000) plus any and all costs incurred by Business Boarding to collect the liquidated damages and dissolve the legal entity, including court costs, arbitration costs, legal fees, and collection costs to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.

We may terminate these Terms for any reason or no reason, at any time, with or without notice. Any termination by us shall be effective immediately or as may be specified in our notice.

We may restrict, suspend or block the access of any Customer who abuses or misuses the Services. Misuse includes, among other things, infringing any intellectual property rights, using any functionality, feature or capability of the Services to generate, support or transmit any form of spam, engaging in any behavior or activity that we asked you not to do, or any other behavior that we, in our sole discretion, deem contrary to the mission and purpose of Business Boarding and the Services.

Upon termination, you may lose access to some or all of the Services. We may block access to the Services from an Internet Protocol (“IP”) address or range of IP addresses associated with those of terminated Customers. Upon termination, all licenses and other rights granted to you by us in these Terms will immediately cease, but any licenses you have granted to us will survive termination regardless of the reason for such termination. In addition, any fees invoiced to you prior to termination that have not been paid will continue to be due in accordance with these Terms, and no refunds shall be provided for payments previously made.

Auto-renewal Services and Price Changes

Services provided by Business Boarding may automatically renew to keep a Customer’s legal entity in compliance with state or other government requirements. A current and active credit card on file will be charged by Business Boarding’s registered agent partner (e.g., Legal Inc), for the annual renewal of the Registered Agent service. The current Registered Agent service annual renewal fee is available on the Website and the Customer Dashboard (see Website). Customer has the option to cancel the Registered Agent service at any time by assigning a new registered agent with state and notifying Business Boarding of the change. If such notification is not provided to Business Boarding by the expiration date of the existing Registered Agent service, Business Boarding may automatically renew these Services. If Business Boarding is unable to complete an auto-renewal due to payment failure, Business Boarding may, at its sole discretion, cancel the Registered Agent service. Credit card information held for purposes of automatic renewal and subscription Services by Business Boarding will not use for other purposes without Customer consent and permission. Business Boarding and Business Boarding’s registered agent partner (e.g., Legal Inc) implement reasonable safeguards to protect Customer data pursuant to the Privacy Policy. All prices for Services advertised on Business Boarding are subject to change at any time without notice.

Lawful Use

Customer hereby agrees, represents, and confirms that Customer will not use the information presented, products, Services or materials purchased from or provided by Business Boarding to commit fraud or any other illegal act or crime; to mispresent identity or legal purpose; to misrepresent, misstate, or falsify information on legal documentation; to misrepresent or mistake any fact; or in any other unlawful, illegal or improper manner. Customer hereby agrees to be responsible for any costs, including legal fees, incurred by Business Boarding in the event Customer fails to conform to this requirement. Customer hereby accepts full liability and shall indemnify, defend and hold Business Boarding, its owners, agents, employees, representatives, and providers harmless from any and all damages, claims, demands, judgments, expenses, and causes of action asserted against Business Boarding by any person or local, state or federal government agency arising from or out of any event, circumstance, act or incident resulting from Customer’s use or misuse of the information presented, or products, Services or materials provided by Business Boarding.

Customer hereby agrees and confirms to give Business Boarding complete authority to sign documents on Customer’s behalf for the purpose of, and not limited to, completing any order or modification thereof on Customer’s behalf.

Business Boarding reserves the right to investigate complaints or reported violations of these Terms and to take any and all actions it deems necessary or appropriate including the reporting of any suspicious or suspected unlawful or illegal activity to law enforcement, applicable regulators or other third-parties. Business Boarding may disclose any information necessary or appropriate in this respect, including Customer-submitted information, profiles, email addresses, usage reports, IP addresses, Customer traffic, and other Customer Content.

As a condition to your right to access the Website and to use the Services, you agree to these Terms, including agreeing to comply with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, privacy laws, intellectual property laws, export control laws, tax laws, and regulatory requirements and to provide accurate information to us and update it as necessary. You also agree to review our Privacy Policy, which may change from time to time as well as review and comply with notices sent by us concerning the Services.

You also agree to not act dishonestly, inappropriately or unprofessionally by posting inappropriate, inaccurate, or objectionable Content. Furthermore, you agree not to use software, devices, scripts, robots or other means or processes to access, “scrape,” “crawl” or “spider” any web pages or other part of the Services. You will also not override any security component included in or underlying the Services.

Post-formation Information and Maintenance

Customer acknowledges that Customer is solely responsible for the post- formation maintenance, reporting, filings, and any other documentation required to maintain formation status and/or legal, tax or other required compliance with applicable federal, state or local government agencies or oversight commissions. Customer acknowledges that Business Boarding may provide Customer with information regarding post-formation maintenance. Customer acknowledges that Business Boarding uses a secondary service to process the filing and shall not be liable for repair/refund/returns in the case the service fails to respond/deliver. Business Boarding may provide updates, notifications and/or reminders to the postal address or email address or cellular telephone number provided by Customer or as a post or alert to Customer's online account (if applicable) solely as a courtesy and such does not create any liability on the part of Business Boarding. Business Boarding is not responsible for: (i) Customer’s action or inaction based on any information provided via email, facsimile, cellular phone text, phone conversation, website posting, alert, or any other form of transmission or communication; (ii) Customer’s failure or inability to receive or access the information; or (iii) Business Boarding’s decision, in its sole discretion, to cease providing such information. Business Boarding makes no representation or warranty as to the comprehensiveness or timeliness of the information. Customer acknowledges that it is Customer's sole responsibility to comply with all applicable state, local, federal, or international laws.

Limitation of Liability

CUSTOMER HEREBY AGREES THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL BUSINESS BOARDING BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS, CLAIM, INJURY, OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY BUSINESS BOARDING (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, COMPENSATORY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES).

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER BUSINESS BOARDING NOR ANY OF BUSINESS BOARDING AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE FEES, IF ANY, YOU PAID BUSINESS BOARDING DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH SUCH EVENT IS CLAIMED TO HAVE OCCURRED, OR USD $100, WHICHEVER AMOUNT IS GREATER.

THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER (I) YOU BASE YOUR CLAIM ON CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, (II) WE KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR (III) THE LIMITED REMEDIES PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Waiver and Release

Customer hereby waives, discharges, and releases Business Boarding of any and all claims, losses, demands, or liability of any kind against Business Boarding, its owners, partners, affiliates, representatives, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers, and any other third-party providers, whether known, unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the information or Services of Business Boarding.

Customer also acknowledges and agrees that when third-parties provide fulfillment services on Business Boarding's behalf and such services have been appropriately charged to Customer, including auto-renew fees, such fulfillment services cannot be subject to any type of refund and/or discount after charges for those services have been applied to the Customer's account.

Indemnification

Customer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Business Boarding, its owners, partners, affiliates, representatives, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers, and any other third-party providers, from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and costs, including but not limited to legal costs and fees, arising out of or in any way connected with Customer’s use of the information or Services of Business Boarding.

Choice of Law and Binding Arbitration

In the event of a dispute between you and Business Boarding, please contact Business Boarding customer service for resolution. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the use of the Website, information provided on the Website, or via any other means of transmission from Business Boarding, or advertisement for Services, or any dispute in connection with these Terms or provision of Services by Business Boarding, or with respect to any other products, services, or materials provided by Business Boarding, or Customer’s use of the information provided on the Website, shall be submitted for final and binding arbitration (or online dispute/arbitration resolution) to a single arbitrator, provided that: (1) the arbitrator has at least five (5) years of expertise in the field relevant to the nature of the dispute and; and (2) the arbitrator is not or has not been a contract agent or a former employee of either party. In the event the parties are unable to agree on a single arbitrator who meets the qualifications set forth above, then an arbitrator shall be appointed by and/or under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) within ten (10) days of the date on which a party seeks assistance from the AAA in selection of a neutral arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Rules and procedures of the AAA, and shall take place in Houston, Texas or in a location otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties or via an online forum pursuant to online dispute or arbitration resolution processes. The parties further agree that: (1) the arbitration shall not last more than three (3) days; (2) there shall be no discovery other than the exchange of information and materials provided to the arbitrator by each of the parties, for which there shall only be thirty (30) days to accomplish; (3) the arbitrator’s final decision shall be issued within ninety (90) days after the date of selection of the arbitrator or within such period as the parties may otherwise mutually agree; and (4) except as otherwise expressly stated in these Terms, the arbitrator shall have the authority only to award equitable relief and direct, actual damages, and shall not have the authority to award punitive or consequential damages (including, but not limited to lost profits, special, indirect, incidental, or compensatory damages). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, the arbitrator shall have the authority to award liquidated damages and legal fees and costs and any remedy provided in these Terms in favor of Business Boarding in situations where a user of the Website has acted fraudulently or willfully (such as by registering a legal entity under a third party name without the third party’s consent), or where a Customer requests a chargeback without sufficient justification as determined by Business Boarding at Business Boarding’s sole discretion or after Business Boarding has paid any third-party or governmental entity any funds in connection with the order associated with the chargeback. Each party shall be responsible for an equal sharing of the fees, expenses and costs incurred by the arbitrator, and each party shall be responsible for their own costs and any fees of counsel they incur unless stated otherwise in these Terms. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and may not be appealed.

These Terms and any action related thereto are governed by the law of the State of Texas, and the federal law of the United States of America, without regard to or application of any conflicts of law’s provisions or principles, and without regard of the location or nationality of a Customer. Any dispute between us or arising out of these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Services, or their performance, shall be determined by one arbitrator in binding arbitration as specified above. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

To accommodate parties and witnesses that may be distant from each other, each hearing shall be conducted and all testimony shall be entered by audio conference or video conference. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, and may be entered and enforced in any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction.

Should the arbitrator determine that the dispute is not arbitrable, Customer and Business Boarding consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Houston, Texas, U.S.A.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, Business Boarding can, at its sole discretion, choose not to arbitrate a dispute and can choose to file suit in any state or federal court located in Houston, Texas. In such a case, Customer and Business Boarding consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Houston, Texas.

General Provisions

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, the provision will be modified so as to render it enforceable and effective to the maximum extent possible in order to affect the intention of the parties with respect to the provisions within the context of the overall Terms. If a court or arbitrator finds the modified provision invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected.

Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire, complete and exclusive agreement between you and us regarding the Services, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, with respect to the subject matter of these Terms. You acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to review these Terms and our Privacy Policy with counsel of your choice.

No Informal Waivers, Agreements or Representations. Any failure to act with respect to a breach of these Terms by one party does not waive the other party’s right to act with respect to that breach or subsequent similar or other breaches. Except as expressly and specifically contemplated by the Terms, no representations, statements, consents, waivers or other acts or omissions by either party or its affiliates shall be deemed legally binding unless expressly and specifically documented in a writing that refers to the Terms and states expressly the intent to modify or supplement the Terms.

Assignment and Delegation. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms without the prior written permission of Business Boarding. Any purported assignment and delegation by you will be ineffective. We may freely assign or delegate some or all of our rights and obligations under the Terms and Privacy Policy, effective on sending a notice to you at the email address we have for you, or if we have no email address for you, by posting a notice of assignment on the Website.
