Welcome to the supplemental terms of use for the Beneficial Ownership Information Filing Service application (the “BOIR Service”). In the BOIR Service, the words “you” and “your” refers to you or the entity you represent, and “Company”, “we” or “our” refers to Bishota Law, PLLC.

1. Scope of Services
The BOIR Service provides an automated software solution to individuals who choose to use the platform for assistance with the compliance filing of the beneficial owners of a reporting company (“BOI Report”) as required by the Corporate Transparency Act (the “CTA”). By agreeing to these terms, you authorize Company to perform the necessary filings and other actions to complete the BOIR Service. You also agree to sign any additional documents we may need to complete this service. You are obligated to provide accurate and up-to-date information as required by the BOIR Service, and you acknowledge that the accuracy and completeness of the BOI Report depend on the information you provide.

We may update these terms by notifying you through reasonable means, such as posting revised terms on our website. Any changes will not affect claims made before the update. Continuing to use our BOIR Service after changes are made means you accept the new terms and agree to the legal obligations they create.

We can modify or discontinue all or part of the BOIR Service at any time without being liable to you. We can also change, modify, or waive any fees, including the Fees, required to use the service, or offer specific opportunities to some or all users of the service.

2. No Legal Advice or Attorney-Client Relationship
Our BOIR Service does not include legal advice, consultation, or representation in any legal matters.

By using our service, you acknowledge that we are not acting as your attorney or accountant and this Agreement does not establish an attorney-client relationship. We are not a substitute for an attorney, accountant, or any other professional.

Our website provides general information regarding the BOI Report filing but it should not be taken as legal advice. While we review your documents for completeness, spelling, grammar, and consistency, we do not check them for legal sufficiency or provide any substantive legal review or recommendations. When you use our BOIR Service, you are relying on your own professionals and knowledge.

We strongly recommend that you seek advice from an attorney, an accountant, and any other necessary professionals to review your specific situation and ensure you are making the best decisions for your business.

15. Governing Law; Jurisdiction
Any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, including formation and breach, will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas. However, arbitration and related proceedings will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1, et seq. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Any suit or proceeding not subject to mandatory arbitration must be brought in a Texas state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts and waive any objections to venue or convenience.

Any dispute related to this Agreement or the BOIR Service must be submitted to arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in Dallas County, Texas, before a single arbitrator. In the case of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 15 and the AAA rules, the provisions of this Section 15 will prevail. Disputes will address only the claims of the parties involved; no class actions are allowed. The arbitrator will provide a written opinion if the amount in dispute exceeds $100,000. Judgment on the award can be entered in any court with jurisdiction. Any court action filed in violation of this section will be dismissed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the AAA rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this class waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither party is entitled to arbitration.

If for any reason a claim or dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated between the parties.

16. Severability
If any part of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will still be fully valid and enforceable possible.

17. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations without Company’s prior written consent, which may be withheld at our sole discretion. Any attempted assignment without our consent will be null and void. Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement and engage subcontractors or agents to perform its duties and exercise its rights without your consent. This Agreement will be binding upon and benefit the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

18. Waiver
A waiver of any provision in this is not a waiver of any other provision. Waiving a breach of these terms does not mean future breaches of the same or other provisions are also waived. Company’s failure or delay in exercising any right, remedy, power, or privilege does not waive that right or any other rights, remedies, powers, or privileges.

19. Independent Contractor
Company and you are independent contractors. Neither party can make contracts or agreements or bind the other party in any way.

20. Headings
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not part of the Agreement.

21. Severability
All rights and restrictions in this Agreement apply only to the extent they do not violate any laws and are intended to be limited to avoid making the Agreement illegal, invalid, or unenforceable. If any part of this Agreement is found to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable by a court, the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.

22. Limitation of Actions
No action arising from or related to this Agreement may be brought by either party more than one year after the cause of action has arisen.

23. No Third-Party Beneficiaries
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer any rights or benefits to any third party, other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

24. Force Majeure.
Neither party is liable for any default or delay in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than failure to make payments when due) if such default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by forces beyond such party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, acts of God, labor disputes, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, interruptions of transportation or communications, interruptions caused by failures or errors in government databases or web services, supply shortages, or the failure of any third party to perform any commitment relative to the production or delivery of any equipment or material required for such party to perform its obligations hereunder.

25. Entire Agreement
This Agreement, including any incorporated documents, supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, and agreements between the parties about the subject matter. It is the sole and entire agreement between the parties on these matters. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and any other communication from you to Company, the terms of this Agreement will control.
