FRA and its service network provider may review information provided by You in connection with such services for completeness, consistency, spelling and grammar; however, neither FRA nor its service network provider, at any time, review such information for legal sufficiency or apply the law to the facts of Your specific situation. FRA provides the Website for information purposes only. THE WEBSITE DOES NOT CONTAIN OR CONSTITUTE, AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS, LEGAL ADVICE OR OPINION. FRA is not a law firm, and FRA does not provide legal services or render legal advice. The Website and Services are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney.

6. REGISTERED AGENT SERVICES; DISCONTINUING REGISTERED AGENT SERVICES
Any Official Document (as defined in Section 13, below) filed by You naming FRA’s Registered Agent service network provider as Your registered agent must state the service network provider’s full corporate name in the name form provided, -e.g. “Incorp Services, Inc.”, “Incorp Services Inc” or other form, as the case may be, including all punctuation as provided at time of order. If You prepare and file an Official Document naming the Registered Agent service network provider as Your registered agent without using the service network provider’s full corporate name and/or using the correct name form for that jurisdiction, FRA and it’s Registered Agent service network provider cannot guarantee that registered agent services can or will be performed on Your behalf. FRA AND ITS NETWORK SERVICE PROVIDER DISCLAIM ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR YOUR FAILURE TO CORRECTLY FORMAT THE SERVICE NETWORK PROVIDER'S NAME WHEN ASSIGNING AS REGISTERED AGENT. You hereby acknowledge and agree that You are responsible for any fees associated with amending any Official Document to correctly name the service network provider as Your registered agent with the correct name form.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that in the event (a) Your business entity voluntarily or involuntarily discontinues business operations in a jurisdiction where FRA’s Registered Agent service network provider provides registered agent services; (b) You wish to abandon Your business entity; or (c) You wish to discontinue FRA and it’s service network provider’s registered agent services, You will satisfy at least one of the following cancellation conditions (collectively, “Cancellation Conditions”):

• The business entity must be properly and legally dissolved, withdrawn, cancelled or otherwise terminated in that jurisdiction either through FRA’s network service provider, independently or through another service provider; or

• The business entity must assign another registered agent in said jurisdiction; or

• The business entity must resign FRA’s network service provider as registered agent in said jurisdiction and pay any document preparation fees (if FRA’s network service provider prepares the documents), as well as all filing fees related to same. The business entity must have FRA’s network service provider removed as the registered agent with all state government agencies in which the business entity requested that FRA’s network service provider be appointed for acceptance of service of process, pursuant to the Cancellation Addendum. If, after exhausting reasonable efforts, the business entity cannot obtain sufficient documentation to evidence that FRA’s network service provider has been removed as registered agent, and/or adequate proof is not attainable, the business entity must fill out and sign the Cancellation Certification, attached to the Cancellation Addendum. For more information, see Section 29 regarding Removal of Registered Agency Upon Cancellation.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that if You do not satisfy at least one of the Cancellation Conditions before the date Your annual registered agent service fee is due, FRA’s network service provider shall continue to act as registered agent in connection with that business entity, and You will continue to incur fees and late penalties (if any) in connection with such services. If, thereafter, You satisfy one of the Cancellation Conditions, You will not be entitled to a pro-rata refund. Further, You acknowledge and agree that if You have not met one of the Cancellation Conditions or You have not paid an annual registered agent service fee by its due date, FRA’s network service provider may, in its sole discretion, charge You the then current registered agent service fee and any applicable tax or other charges to the payment method You provided during registration or in subsequent account payments. If You contract FRA’s network service provider to execute the dissolution, withdrawal, cancellation or termination of Your business entity prior to the date Your annual registered agent service fee is due, You will incur no further fees for agent service even if the dissolution is not filed or recorded until after said due date. Additionally, if the account is in delinquent status or the entity is defunct, any account contacts, including, but not limited to the account primary contact and entity officers and/or directors shall be responsible for the payment of the account.

8. FORWARDING OF MAIL; REGISTERED AGENT’S BUSINESS ADDRESS
With the exception of Nevada, unless otherwise specified in any services agreement between You and FRA’s network service provider, or pursuant to applicable federal/state statutes, rules or regulations, the Services are limited to the receipt and forwarding of official federal, state and local correspondence as well as Service of Process, and You hereby acknowledge and agree that FRA’s network service provider does not, and shall not, provide business or mailing addresses and/or business mail forwarding services. FRA and FRA’s NETWORK SERVICE PROVIDER DISCLAIM ANY PERCEIVED, IMPLIED OR ACTUAL DUTY TO FORWARD ITEMS RECEIVED ON YOUR BEHALF PURSUANT TO YOUR UNAUTHORIZED USE OF FRA’s NETWORK SERVICE PROVIDER’S BUSINESS ADDRESS AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO FORWARD SUCH ITEMS. YOU KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL RISK WHEN MAKING UNAUTHORIZED USE OF FRA’S NETWORK SERVICE PROVIDER’S BUSINESS ADDRESS. In Nevada, FRA’s network service provider allows use of its business address and offers unlimited domestic forwarding of 1st class mail at no charge, however there may be a charge for parcel forwarding. Additionally, FRA’s network service provider offers regular mail forwarding services in various states that you may contract.
If Nevada Registered Agent Service is cancelled in accordance with Section 6 of this agreement, continued use of FRA’s network service provider's address on public record (such as entity principal addresses) may result in additional charges for use of the address.

• Any and all funds already paid to vendors and/or state agencies including but not limited to state filing fees, publication fees, and corporate kits are nonrefundable.
• If You cancel an order after the audit and payment processes are complete, but before any other processing has occurred, the refund will be the total order amount less $29.00; and

If You submit a chargeback request to the card issuer twice, and the issuer rules in FRA or FRA’s network service provider’s favor both times, You agree that the entire amount owed shall become immediately payable and considered non-refundable. FRA and FRA’s network service provider does not dispute legitimate chargebacks.
Any special or reduced product or service pricing in recognition of quantity or other consideration is provided with the understanding and acceptance that all invoices must be paid by the due date of the invoice. If an invoice with items billed at a special pricing rate is not paid by the due date, FRA’s network service provider reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to revert pricing on those items to FRA’s network service provider’s current, standard rates.
A $15.00 processing fee will be billed to the client on every service of process document received in excess of 5 pages in length.

WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, FRA RESERVES THE RIGHT TO, IN FRA’S SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY USE OF THE WEBSITE AND/OR SERVICES TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON AT ALL, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR ANY BREACH OR SUSPECTED BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION.

(b) Automatic Termination Upon Breach By You
This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event that You breach any of this Agreement’s representations, warranties or covenants. Such termination shall be automatic, and shall not require any action by FRA.

(c) By You
You may terminate this Agreement and Your rights hereunder at any time, for any or no reason at all, by providing to FRA notice of Your intention to do so, in the manner required by this Agreement.

(d) Effect of Termination
Any termination of this Agreement automatically terminates all rights and licenses granted to You under this Agreement, including all rights to use the Website and Services. Upon termination, FRA may, but has no obligation to, in FRA’s sole discretion, rescind any services, including without limitation registered agent services, and/or delete from FRA’s systems all Your Personal Information and any other files or information that You made available to FRA or that otherwise relate to Your use of the Website or Services. Subsequent to termination, FRA reserves the right to exercise whatever means it deems necessary to prevent Your unauthorized use of the Website and Services, including without limitation technological barriers such as IP mapping and direct contact with Your Internet Service Provider.

(e) Legal Action
If FRA, in FRA’s discretion, takes legal action against You in connection with any actual or suspected breach of this Agreement, FRA will be entitled to recover from You as part of such legal action, and You agree to pay, FRA’s reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred as a result of such legal action. The FRA Parties will have no legal obligation or other liability to You or to any third party arising out of or relating to any termination of this Agreement.

(f) Survival
Upon termination, all rights and obligations created by this Agreement will terminate, except that Sections 1-3, 5-9, 11-12, 14-15, 16, 17-24, 26-27, and 29 will survive any termination of this Agreement. For clarification, termination of this Agreement will not relieve You of Your obligation to pay any fees owed FRA, including without limitation the fees outlined in Section 16.

27. NOTICES
All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing. FRA shall give any notice by email sent to the most recent email address, if any, provided by the intended recipient to FRA. YOU BEAR THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF ENSURING THAT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ON FILE WITH FRA IS ACCURATE AND CURRENT, AND NOTICE TO YOU SHALL BE DEEMED EFFECTIVE UPON THE SENDING BY FRA OF AN EMAIL TO THAT ADDRESS. You shall give any notice to FRA by means of: (i) hand delivery; (ii) certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iii) overnight courier, each as send to 2360 Corporate Circle, Suite 400, Henderson, NV, 89074-7739. All notices to FRA will be deemed received as follows: (i) if by hand-delivery, on the date of delivery; (ii) if delivery by U.S. mail, on the date of receipt appearing on a return receipt card; or (iii) if by overnight courier, on the date the receipt is confirmed by such courier service. You agree that any notice received from FRA electronically satisfies any legal requirement that such notice be in writing.

28. GENERAL
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between FRA and You concerning Your use of the Website and Services. This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized executive of FRA or by the unilateral amendment of this Agreement by FRA and by the posting by FRA of such amended version. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. This Agreement and all of Your rights and obligations hereunder will not be assignable or transferable by You without the prior written consent of FRA. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. You and FRA are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. Except for the FRA Parties and the Indemnified Parties as and to the extent set forth in Sections 19, 21 and 25(e), and FRA’s licensors and suppliers as and to the extent expressly set forth in Section 21, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement or infringement of proprietary or other third party rights by You would cause irreparable injury to FRA and FRA’s licensors and suppliers, and would therefore entitle FRA or FRA’s licensors or suppliers, as the case may be, to injunctive relief. The headings in this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only and shall not limit, enlarge, or affect any of the covenants, terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement.

29. REMOVAL OF REGISTERED AGENCY UPON CANCELLATION
Upon Cancellation, You agree to have FRA’s network service provider removed as Registered Agent with any agencies in which You or Your registered entity have requested that FRA’s network service provider be appointed for acceptance of service of process (the “Agencies”). You agree to provide FRA with documentation sufficient to evidence that FRA’s network service provider has been removed as Registered Agent for You or Your registered entity with the Agencies. You must provide such documentation prior to satisfying the condition for discontinuing Registered Agent services identified in Section 6 of this Agreement. You acknowledge that Your failure to provide the documentation required under this paragraph will result in a delay of Your satisfaction of the conditions in Paragraph 6 of this Agreement.
If, despite reasonable efforts, You cannot obtain sufficient documentation to evidence that FRA’s network service provider has been removed as Registered Agent for You or Your registered entity, You may elect to sign the Cancellation Certification, available at the following link. You acknowledge that Your execution of the Cancellation Certification shall have the same effect as providing documentation under the previous paragraph and shall release FRA’s network service provider of all liability to You or your registered entity occurring after the Effective Date regarding service or process and any other services provided for under this Agreement.
You acknowledge that upon completion of the obligations in this Section, You accept full responsibility for any service of process documents that are issued to or served on FRA’s network service provider as Registered Agent for You. In addition to all limitations of liability contained in Section 22 of this Agreement, You hereby release FRA and FRA’s network service provider of all liability to You or your registered entity occurring after the Effective Date regarding service of process and any other services provided for under this Agreement.
