A visitor to the Site (as defined below), a current Customer (as defined below), or a prospective Customer is subject to this Legal Notice and Terms of Service (“Terms”) as outlined below.

You and Us

Welcome to Vulpeinc (“Vulpeinc,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”). Formally, we are Vulpeinc. We provide our services (“Services”) online, including through our website at www.vulpeinc.com or any site owned by Vulpeinc (collectively, the “Site”), and other forms of communication such as email. Providing information on the Site also constitutes part of the Services.
We use the term “User,” “you,” “your,” “Visitor,” or “Customer” to refer to any past, current, or potential customer of our Services, as well as any visitor to the Site. These Terms apply to each Customer. There will be no charges for Customers to use the Services unless explicitly stated in these Terms or in other notices from Vulpeinc to Customers, such as information on the Site.
These Terms govern your access to and use of our Services. By accessing or using the Services (including accessing the Site), you agree to be bound by these Terms as if these Terms were signed by you in a paper contract. We may also ask you to confirm your agreement to these Terms, including by taking specific actions such as clicking a button labeled “I Agree” or “Buy Now” or by using the Services. Any personal information about you or any other person may be stored within or through the Services (“Personal Data”).
While you are a Customer, Vulpeinc grants you permission to use the software (“Software”) included on the Site as part of the Services. Your right to use the Software is revocable by Vulpeinc and is not sublicensable. Furthermore, the Software must be used solely for your personal use.
The information provided on the Site or through any other transmission from Vulpeinc is not legal advice but rather general information. The content contained on the Site or the information provided in any other transmission from Vulpeinc is subject to these Terms.
Vulpeinc reserves the right to change or update these Terms at any time. Changes or updates to these Terms will appear on the Site and/or be communicated to the Customer and are effective immediately. The use of the Site or receipt of Services after such changes constitutes your acceptance of these changes and updates.

For Informational Purposes Only

The purpose and intention of Vulpeinc is to provide general information, not to provide specific advice (legal or otherwise). The information presented is provided solely for informational purposes and constitutes an advertisement for services. Vulpeinc does not wish to represent anyone seeking legal representation based on viewing the Site or the information provided by email, facsimile, telephone conversation, or any other means of transmission. Visitors or recipients of this information should not act based on this information without consulting an attorney. None of the information on the Site constitutes professional or legal advice or recommendations from Vulpeinc, its representatives, agents, or otherwise. Vulpeinc operates solely under the direction of the Customer and does not offer legal, tax, or accounting advice or services, and no information provided by Vulpeinc constitutes legal, tax, or accounting advice.
The transmission and receipt of materials provided by Vulpeinc are not intended to and do not create an attorney-client relationship. Additionally, providing any information made available on the Site or through other means of transmission does not create a business, legal, or professional relationship.

The information obtained from Vulpeinc or the Site SHOULD NOT be used as a substitute for legal advice from an attorney. It is provided “as is,” is not guaranteed to be correct, complete, or up-to-date, and Vulpeinc expressly disclaims all warranties and disclaims any and all liability for losses, claims, liabilities, or damages resulting from or in any way related to errors or omissions in the content provided by Vulpeinc or the Site.

Third-Party Sites

The Site contains links to servers maintained by other businesses and organizations, which exist independently of Vulpeinc or the Site. Vulpeinc cannot provide any guarantees regarding the accuracy or origin of the information contained on any of these servers or the content of any files a Customer may download from these sites. No third party is endorsed or recommended by us due to the fact that links to their servers appear on the Site. All access to and downloading of material from these third-party sites is at the Customer's own risk, for which Vulpeinc is not responsible or liable in any way.
All third-party information is provided without any warranties, express or implied, regarding its legal effect and completeness.
To avoid any doubts, all fees imposed by third parties—including but not limited to automatic renewal fees for registered agents and/or any other services—cannot be reversed, discounted, or otherwise altered after these fees have been applied to your account.

Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED OR FEEL HARMED BY VULPEINC, 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 ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES WILL RESULT IN ANY FINANCIAL OR OTHER BENEFIT OR SUCCESS FOR CUSTOMERS IN ANY WAY.
WE DO NOT WARRANT OR REPRESENT THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL NOT VIOLATE THE RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR ERROR. THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE SITE, MAY BE INTERRUPTED DUE TO MAINTENANCE, UPDATES, OR SYSTEM OR NETWORK FAILURES. WE DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY ANY SUCH INTERRUPTIONS OR ERRORS. FURTHERMORE, WE DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY MALFUNCTIONS, INABILITY TO ACCESS, OR POOR CONDITIONS OF USE OF THE SERVICES DUE TO INADEQUATE EQUIPMENT, INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER DISTURBANCES, INTERNET SATURATION, OR ANY OTHER NETWORK, AND FOR ANY OTHER REASON.

Cancellation and Termination Policy

Vulpeinc may, at its sole discretion, refuse or cancel existing Services for any person or entity for any reason, including the improper use of Vulpeinc's promotions. For example, if Vulpeinc offers a promotion (such as a state incorporation promotion), such promotion may only be used once by a Customer, and attempting to use such a promotion more than once by the same Customer is considered improper use of Vulpeinc's promotions. In such a case, Vulpeinc reserves the right to refuse service or cancel any orders where a Customer is improperly using a Vulpeinc promotion, attempting to use such a promotion a second time or more. Vulpeinc is not responsible for any damage or loss that may result from Vulpeinc's refusal or cancellation of Services for any reason.
An order is generally refundable until payment has been forwarded to any governmental entity, such as a state or the federal government of the USA (usually within twenty-four hours after placing the order), subject to a $30.00 cancellation fee and less any other expenses that have been paid or incurred in processing the order, including payments to entities such as state or federal government agencies or third-party vendors. Once payment has been forwarded to any governmental entity or third party, Vulpeinc cannot accept cancellations or any other changes to the order. In the case of trademark orders, once a trademark search has been conducted or payment has been made to the US Patent and Trademark Office, Vulpeinc cannot accept cancellations or any other changes to the order. To request cancellation of an order before Vulpeinc makes any payment to a governmental entity or other third party, or before a search is conducted for a trademark order, your order must be in the Review status.
You must place your order on hold by clicking the make changes button within the order confirmation email, and if the cancellation request meets Vulpeinc's requirements as stated above, as determined by Vulpeinc at its sole discretion, then Vulpeinc will honor the cancellation. Instructions for canceling an order or any other changes to the order cannot be accepted by phone or email. Vulpeinc does not contest legitimate chargebacks. However, if an illegitimate or improper chargeback (e.g., a chargeback requested after Vulpeinc has made a payment to a governmental entity or third party, or after a trademark search has been conducted) is filed, Vulpeinc reserves the right to take any actions that Vulpeinc deems appropriate at its sole discretion. Such actions by Vulpeinc include, but are not limited to, canceling subscriptions or other Services and dissolving any entity formed for which payment was reversed or disputed by the Customer.
The Customer will be responsible for any costs incurred by Vulpeinc in dissolving such a legal entity. If Vulpeinc cannot or does not wish to dissolve such an entity, or if payment has been made to the US Patent and Trademark Office for a trademark application, the Customer agrees to promptly dissolve such an entity or abandon the trademark application, at Vulpeinc's request, or be liable to Vulpeinc for liquidated damages in the amount of five hundred US dollars (US$500) plus any and all costs incurred by Vulpeinc in collecting the liquidated damages and dissolving the legal entity, including court costs, arbitration costs, attorney fees, and collection costs to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Vulpeinc reserves the right to dissolve any legal entity formed fraudulently by any person using the name of a third party without that third party's authorization to form the legal entity, and any person forming such a legal entity will be liable to Vulpeinc for liquidated damages in the amount of ten thousand US dollars (US$10,000) plus any and all costs incurred by Vulpeinc in collecting the liquidated damages and dissolving the legal entity, including court costs, arbitration costs, attorney fees, and collection costs to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.
We may terminate these Terms for any reason or without reason, at any time, with or without notice. Any termination by us will be effective immediately or as specified in our notice.
We may restrict, suspend, or block access for any Customer who abuses or misuses the Services. Misuse includes, but is not limited to, infringing any intellectual property rights, using any feature, function, or capability of the Services to generate, support, or transmit any form of spam, engaging in any behavior or activity that we ask you not to do, or any other behavior that, in our sole discretion, we consider contrary to the mission and purpose of Vulpeinc 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 Customers who have been terminated. Upon termination, all licenses and other rights granted to you by us under these Terms will immediately cease, but any licenses you have granted to us will survive termination, regardless of the reason for such termination. Additionally, any fees billed to you before termination that remain unpaid will continue to be due in accordance with these Terms, and no refunds will be provided for payments previously made.

 

Changes in Legislation

In the event of any changes in the laws or regulations of the United States that require modification of products or services purchased from Vulpeinc, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that Vulpeinc will not be liable for any additional costs, fees, or expenses resulting from such modifications. Vulpeinc reserves the right to adjust prices and/or terms of service as necessary to comply with the new legislation, without any obligation to compensate the Customer for previously paid amounts or for additional costs that may arise due to such legal changes.

Automatic Renewal Services and Price Changes

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

Legal Use

The Customer agrees, represents, and confirms that they will not use the information presented, products, Services, or materials purchased from or provided by Vulpeinc to commit fraud or any other illegal act or crime; to misrepresent identity or legal purpose; to misrepresent, distort, or falsify information in legal documentation; to misrepresent or confuse any fact; or in any other illegal, improper, or inappropriate manner. The Customer agrees to be responsible for any costs, including legal fees, incurred by Vulpeinc in the event that the Customer does not comply with this requirement.
The Customer accepts full responsibility and shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Vulpeinc, its owners, agents, employees, representatives, and service providers from any damages, claims, demands, judgments, expenses, and causes of action that are brought against Vulpeinc by any person or governmental agency, local, state, or federal, arising out of any event, circumstance, act, or incident resulting from the use or misuse of the information presented, or products, Services, or materials provided by Vulpeinc.
The Customer assumes full responsibility for verifying the accuracy of all documentation, legal forms, and other paperwork before using them and ensuring that the information provided on or in any legal documentation is correct and error-free. The Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Vulpeinc, its owners, agents, employees, representatives, and service providers from any and all claims, demands, judgments, costs, damages, or expenses, including legal fees and court costs, arising out of or in connection with the Customer's use of the documentation, legal forms, or other paperwork provided by Vulpeinc.

Choice of Law and Binding Arbitration

In case of a dispute between you and Vulpeinc, please contact Vulpeinc's customer service for resolution. Any controversy or claim arising out of or related to the use of the Site, information provided on the Site, or by any other means of transmission from Vulpeinc, or advertising of Services, or any dispute in connection with these Terms or provision of Services by Vulpeinc, or with respect to any other product, service, or material provided by Vulpeinc, or use of the information provided on the Site by the Customer, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration (or online dispute resolution/arbitration) to a single arbitrator, provided that: (1) the arbitrator has at least five (5) years of experience in the area relevant to the nature of the dispute; and (2) the arbitrator is not and has never been a contracting agent or former employee of any of the parties. If the parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator who meets the above qualifications, then an arbitrator shall be appointed by and/or in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") within ten (10) days from the date one of the parties seeks assistance from the AAA in selecting 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 at a location mutually agreed upon by the parties or through an online forum in accordance with online dispute resolution or arbitration processes. The parties further agree that: (1) the arbitration shall not last more than three (3) days; (2) there shall be no discovery beyond the exchange of information and materials provided to the arbitrator by each party, for which there shall be only thirty (30) days to complete; (3) the arbitrator's final decision shall be issued within ninety (90) days after the date of selection of the arbitrator or within such time as the parties may mutually agree; and (4) except as otherwise expressly stated in these Terms, the arbitrator shall have authority only to award equitable relief and actual direct 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 any provision to the contrary in these Terms, the arbitrator shall have authority to award liquidated damages and legal fees and costs and any remedy provided for in these Terms in favor of Vulpeinc in situations where a Site user has acted fraudulently or intentionally (such as registering a legal entity in the name of a third party without the third party's consent), or where a Customer requests a refund without sufficient justification, as determined by Vulpeinc at its sole discretion or after Vulpeinc has paid any third party or government entity any funds in connection with the order associated with the refund. Each party shall be responsible for equally sharing the fees, expenses, and costs incurred by the arbitrator, and each party shall be responsible for its own costs and any attorney fees it incurs, unless otherwise stated in these Terms. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and not subject to appeal.
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 conflict of laws provisions or principles, and without regard to 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 an arbitrator in binding arbitration as specified above. The language of arbitration shall be English.
To accommodate parties and witnesses who may be distant from one another, each hearing shall be conducted and all testimony shall be recorded by audio or video conference. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding on the parties and may be recorded and enforced in any court or other competent authority.
If the arbitrator determines that the dispute is not arbitrable, the Customer and Vulpeinc consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Houston, Texas, USA. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Terms, Vulpeinc may, at its sole discretion, choose not to arbitrate a dispute and may choose to bring an action in any state or federal court located in Houston, Texas. In such a case, the Customer and Vulpeinc 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 to be illegal, void, or unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, the provision shall be modified to make it enforceable and effective to the maximum extent possible, in order to effect the intent of the parties in the overall context of the 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 shall 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 established by custom, practice, policy, or precedent, regarding the subject matter of these Terms. You acknowledge that you had the opportunity to review these Terms and our Privacy Policy with an attorney of your choice.
No Waiver, Informal Agreements, or Representations: Any failure to act with respect to a breach of these Terms by one party does not waive the right of the other party to act with respect to that breach or subsequent similar or other breaches. Except as expressly and specifically contemplated by the Terms, no representation, statement, consent, waiver, or other acts or omissions by either party or its affiliates shall be deemed legally binding unless expressly and specifically documented in writing, referencing the Terms, and expressly stating the intention to modify or supplement the Terms.
Assignment and Delegation: You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms without prior written permission from Vulpeinc. Any purported assignment and delegation by you shall be ineffective. We may freely assign or delegate some or all of our rights and obligations under the Terms and Privacy Policy, effective upon sending you notice to the email address we have on file, or if we do not have an email address for you, by posting a notice of assignment on the site.

THE CUSTOMER HEREBY AGREES THAT THEY HAVE READ AND AGREE TO THIS LEGAL NOTICE AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN ITS ENTIRETY.
