Welcome to FileForms.

This document constitutes the terms and conditions governing your relationship with FileForms LLC (the “Terms of Use”).

The terms “FileForms,” “we,” “us” and “our” means FileForms LLC and its current and future subsidiaries and affiliates.

The term “Services” means this website and any other content, applications, features, functionality, information, and services offered by FileForms through this website.

The terms “you,” “your” or “user” means the end users of the Services as authorized by these Terms of Use.

These Terms of Use are a legally binding contract between you and FileForms.  By accessing or using the Services, or by otherwise accepting these Terms of Use, you (an individual or entity) agree to the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Use. Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using the Services. Your violation of, or failure to agree to, these Terms of Use may result in the revocation of your access to the Services.

These Terms of Use contain a mandatory arbitration provision that, as further set forth in section 17 below, requires the use of arbitration on an individual  basis to resolve disputes. It does not allow jury trials or any other court proceedings or class actions of any kind.

     2. Submission of Reports

FileForms provides tools to assist with the preparation and submission of Reports. FileForms does not, and cannot, assure that Reports submitted through the Services will be accepted by FinCEN, or that Reports successfully submitted through our Services means that the individual or entity for which the Report is submitted (the “Subject”) is in compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act and corresponding reporting obligations.

These Terms of Use will remain in effect even after your access to the Services is terminated, or your use of the Services ends.

    18. Resolution of Disputes

We hope to be able to resolve any disputes with you. If we cannot, these provisions will govern any legal disputes.

  1. Choice of Law. The Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
  2. Waiver. YOU AND FILEFORMS AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
  3. Prior to Arbitration. Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60-days’ advanced written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. FileForms will provide such notice by email to your email address on file, and you must provide such notice by contacting us by email or mail using the contact information under the “Contact Us” section below. During such 60-day notice period, the parties will endeavor to settle amicably by mutual discussions any disputes. Failing such amicable settlement and expiration of the notice period, either party may initiate arbitration. 
  4. Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or the Services will be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Any such controversy or claim must be arbitrated on an individual basis, and must not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. The arbitration must be conducted in the Broward County, Florida, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof. Either FileForms or you may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the Broward County, Florida, as necessary to protect the rights or property of you or FileForms.

     19. Miscellaneous

  1. No Waiver. FileForms’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use will not be deemed to be a waiver of such right or provision.
  2. Entire Agreement.

  3. Severability. If any provision of these Terms of Use is deemed invalid, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the other provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect.
  4. Limitation of Claims. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.
