TERMS AND CONDITIONS

As consideration for the services provided by DBA-Filings.com,
I agree to the following:

I acknowledge that I can obtain, draft, and/or file for a dba on my own, but I have chosen to use the services of CIL.

DBA-Filings.com, a division of Click Industries, Ltd. (collectively referred to as CIL) offers no legal advice, recommendations, or counseling under any circumstance. CIL is not a law firm, and the employees of CIL are not acting as my attorney. CIL's document preparation service uses the answers I provide to populate assumed business name forms by cutting and pasting the information I provide. At no time will CIL review my answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide advice, or apply the law to the facts of my particular situation. I understand that CIL is not acting as my attorney in any way and the information provided on this website or through emails / phone conversations with CIL's employees or agents is not legal advice on which I can rely.

I acknowledge that I should consult professional legal counsel regarding the applicability of any document created by this site. CIL should not be used as a substitute for competent legal advice from an attorney.

I understand that my use of this site doesn't create an attorney-client relationship. I acknowledge that I am totally and solely responsible for my own selections and actions.

I understand that the help screens and other information contained on this site consist of general information regarding filing an assumed business name. Every business is unique and laws vary from state to state.

I acknowledge that the only services provided by CIL through this site are populating assumed business name forms with information I provide and mailing them to the appropriate government entity for filing Further, I understand that CIL does not guarantee that any document drafted for my business will meet the needs of my business and/or be appropriate for my business. Further, I understand that CIL can not guarantee the availability of any name and that CIL's name check only reflects the status of a name at the moment the name is checked. I also acknowledge that despite the best efforts of CIL, the state still may reject my chosen name and my dba filing for reasons beyond the control of CIL, including but not limited to if it doesn't comply with state statutes and/or the state determines that the name is too similar to a name already registered with the state.

I acknowledge that once CIL through DBA-Filings.com has commenced the dba registration process, which starts once CIL conducts a name availability search of an assumed name for me, starts corresponding with me via email regarding my DBA filings, and/or drafts the DBA form, AND I wish to terminate the service for any reason prior to the completion of service by CIL, I agree that CIL shall keep $75 for the work performed and shall refund me any unused portion of monies I paid. However, I acknowledge that once CIL has sent the dba application to the specific governmental entity for filing, there is no refund of any kind. Further, I acknowledge that once CIL has sent a dba filing form into any government agency, CIL is unable to cancel the registration.

I acknowledge that "24-hour Filing" means that CIL completes all necessary paperwork within 24 hours and whenever possible submits said paperwork to the state and/or county within that amount of time. I acknowledge that in some states and/or counties, CIL cannot submit a complete dba application for filing within 24 hours as my original signature and/or notarization of my signature may be required. In those cases, the dba application will be submitted for filing within 24 hours after CIL receives the document(s) needed for filing that contains my signature. I acknowledge that "24-Hour Filing" does not include any orders received on a Friday through Monday morning at 8 a.m. CST. I also acknowledge that "24-Hour Filing" does not include filing delays caused by Acts of God, or other events, such as loss of internet service and weather conditions.

I acknowledge that filing in 3 business days means that CIL completes all necessary paperwork within three business days and whenever possible submits said paperwork to the state and/or county within that amount of time. I acknowledge that in some states and/or counties, CIL cannot submit a complete dba application within three business days as my original signature and/or notarization of my signature may be required. In those cases, the dba application will be submitted for filing within three business days after CIL receives the document(s) from me (via fax or mail depending on state requirements) needed for filing that contains my signature. I acknowledge that "business days" only include Monday through Friday during normal business hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST.

I also acknowledge that some counties require specific forms that must be mailed to CIL before it can file my DBA. In those cases, neither the 24-Hour nor the 3-Day Filing time commences until CIL has received said forms from the county in question.

I also acknowledge that CIL reserves the right to reqeust credit card verification for teh card I enter during the order process. I agree to provide verification of my credit card on CIL's request, which may at CIL's discrtion include a scanned copy of the front of my driver's license and/or the 800 number for the bank that issued the credit card, so that CIL may verify the charge. I further acknowledge that the 24-hour filing period nor the three (3) business days filing period commences until such credit card verification is received.

I also understand that in some cases CIL will be emailing or faxing me a form for my signature and return. I am responsible for ensuring that the email address I provided CIL is correct. I am also responsible for ensuring that I retrieve an email from an spam or junk folder, in the event that the email from CIL ends up there. My failure to send back the dba application or other forms emailed, faxed, or mailed to me by CIL does not constitute grounds for a refund of any kind.

I understand that the actual time it takes the state and/or county to record and file my dba registration can vary and is completely beyond the control of CIL. I acknowledge that the processing times listed on dba-filings.com are only an estimate based on information available to CIL and are in no way guaranteed.

Further, I acknowledge that once the dba application has been filed by CIL with the state and/or county or CIL has emailed me a dba form for my signature, the services of CIL are concluded (if I don't send the form back to CIL within 15 business days from the date CIL sent it). Also, I acknowledge that some counties or states may have publishing requirements and that such requirements are my sole responsibility, unless I have paid CIL to handle the publishing for me.

I agree that all services were provided by CIL within the State of Minnesota and that my use of this site is deemed to have occurred in Minnesota. If I institute any legal proceeding against CIL, it's employees, agents, officers, or directors, I agree that I will do so in Hennepin County District Court, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I acknowledge that Hennepin County District Court is the proper venue for any disputes. Further, I agree that the only damages I’m entitled to is the amount of money I paid CIL for the services rendered and that I am not entitled to any other damages whatsoever. I also agree that the prevailing party in any action brought pursuant to these terms and conditions shall be entitled to its his/her reasonable costs, disbursements, and attorney’s fees.

CIL does not share customer information with ANYBODY. We do not share or sell email addresses, contact or purchase information with any other company. Ever.
