13. Disclaimer of Warranties

Your use of the website is at your own risk. We make no representations or warranties regarding the operation of the website or the information, materials, goods, or services provided on it, all of which are offered “as is.” Without limiting the above, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to: (1) warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose; (2) warranties against infringement of any third-party intellectual property or proprietary rights; (3) warranties related to the transmission or delivery of the website; (4) warranties concerning the accuracy, reliability, correctness, or completeness of data available on the website or from EIN Filing Services; (5) warranties related to performance, nonperformance, or other actions or omissions by EIN Filing Services or any third party; and (6) warranties of title. Furthermore, EIN Filing Services does not warrant that the website will meet your needs or requirements or those of any other person. We make no warranties, express or implied, that the website or any email we send is free of viruses or other harmful components that may infect your computer equipment or other property due to your access to, use of, or browsing on the website, or your downloading of any materials, data, text, images, video, or audio from the website. We also do not warrant that the website, its content, functions, or materials will be timely, secure, accurate, complete, up-to-date, or uninterrupted. If applicable law prohibits the exclusion of some or all of the above warranties, these exclusions will still apply to you to the fullest extent permitted by law.

14. Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances, including negligence, will EIN Filing Services (or its officers, directors, affiliates, agents, employees, suppliers, or anyone involved in creating, producing, or delivering the website) be liable for any damages or losses. This includes, but is not limited to, direct, incidental, consequential, indirect, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, as well as lost profits, arising from your access to, use of, misuse of, or inability to use the website, its content, user content, or any linked sites. This also applies in connection with any performance failures, errors, omissions, interruptions, defects, delays in operation or transmission, computer viruses, or line or system failures. These limitations apply regardless of whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if EIN Filing Services has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event will EIN Filing Services’ aggregate liability (or that of its officers, directors, affiliates, agents, employees, or suppliers) arising out of or in connection with these terms of use, the website, or the services (whether in contract, tort, negligence, warranty, or otherwise) exceed $100. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, EIN Filing Services’ liability in such jurisdictions will be limited to the extent permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the above

15. Applicable Law; Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and should be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California, without regard to their conflict of law principles. By using the Site or Services, you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of any other countries or jurisdictions.

16. Dispute Resolution; Jury Trial and Class Action Waivers; Injunctive Relief

Regarding any disputes related to the Site, Services, or these Terms, you and EIN Filing Services agree to first engage in good faith negotiations to find a mutually satisfactory resolution. If no resolution is reached through informal negotiations within 60 days, any further attempts to resolve the dispute, including those concerning the Privacy Notice and the enforceability of this dispute resolution provision or the Terms, will be exclusively handled through confidential binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California, or another agreed-upon location. This arbitration will follow the Commercial Rules of Arbitration set by the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) and will be conducted by a sole arbitrator chosen by both parties in accordance with those rules. The costs associated with administration and the arbitrator’s fees will be shared equally by both parties, although the prevailing party may recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees related to the arbitration.

You acknowledge that you are waiving your right to litigate disputes in court before a judge or jury. Instead, disputes will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final and binding. Any court with appropriate jurisdiction may enforce the arbitrator’s award. Proceedings will be conducted individually; neither you nor EIN Filing Services will pursue any disputes as a class action or in any representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with others without written consent from all parties involved.

You agree that EIN Filing Services may seek preliminary injunctive relief as permitted by law to enforce these Terms (e.g., for intellectual property claims) while awaiting a final arbitration decision. Any claims or disputes must be filed within one year from when the claim or notice of dispute could first be filed; otherwise, they will be permanently barred. If any part of this section is deemed illegal or unenforceable, that part will be severed, and the remainder will continue to be in effect.

17. Access Outside the United States

If you are accessing the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transmitted through and stored on servers located in the United States or other regions. The data protection laws in the U.S. may differ from those in your country, and your information could be subject to requests from U.S. governments, courts, or law enforcement under U.S. law. By using the Site or providing any information, you consent to the transfer, processing, use, sharing, and storage of your information in the United States. For more details, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Additionally, if you use the Services from a location outside the United States, you are responsible for complying with all applicable international, federal, state, and local laws. You agree not to use the EIN Filing Services content accessed through the Site in any manner or country that is prohibited by applicable laws, regulations, or restrictions.

18. Miscellaneous

You acknowledge and agree that these Terms, along with any relevant click-through agreements you may have accepted regarding our Services, form the complete agreement between EIN Filing Services and you concerning your use of the Services, overriding any previous communications or proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between us. If any part of these Terms is deemed unenforceable, it will not impact the validity or enforceability of the remaining sections, which will instead be replaced with a provision that best reflects the original intent of the unenforceable part. You also acknowledge that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and EIN Filing Services as a result of these Terms or your access to the Site.

Furthermore, you agree that we may assign these Terms and any related agreements at our discretion in the event of a merger, acquisition, or similar circumstance. Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms or to respond to any violations does not waive our right to enforce these Terms in the future. Additionally, nothing in these Terms limits our ability to comply with governmental, court, or law enforcement requests related to your use of the Website or Services, or the information we collect in connection with that use.
