You will not be able to reactivate your Account. However, information where other members are involved (conversations with other people, transactions you have made, reviews you have given to others, etc.) is not removed when you delete your Account, but your name will no longer be displayed next to this information.

We may close your Account, cease to permit you to purchase paid features of the Services, at any time in our sole discretion and without notice to you, including if we believe you are using the Services in a manner not intended by us or in a way that violates our Terms of Use, or for any other reason. In no case will FileForms’s closure of your Account, or reduction of your access to the Services, waive or affect any other right or relief to which FileForms may be entitled.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any of the Services at any time, for any reason. We will not be liable to you for the effect that any changes to the Services may have on you.

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

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.

     17. 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. These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy, and any amendments and additional agreements you might enter with FileForms in connection with our Services, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and FileForms concerning the Services, and shall supersede any prior terms you had with FileForms regarding the Services.
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.
