These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "Client") and [FASTCORPFILING, LLC] ("FastCorpFiling," "we," "us," or "our"), the operator of the website fastcorpfiling.com (the "Site") and the document preparation services described herein (the "Services").
By accessing the Site, creating an account, submitting an order, or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or the Services.
2. We Are Not a Law Firm
FastCorpFiling is a document preparation and filing service. We are not a law firm, we do not employ attorneys to provide legal services to you, and we do not provide legal, tax, or financial advice. We prepare and file documents based on the information you provide us. We cannot apply the law to your specific facts, recommend a course of action, or advise you on the legal consequences of your decisions.
If you need legal, tax, or financial advice — including but not limited to advice about which type of entity to form, in what state to form it, how to structure ownership, tax elections, operating agreement provisions, or compliance obligations — you should consult a licensed attorney or certified public accountant.
No attorney-client relationship, fiduciary relationship, or confidential relationship is created by your use of the Site or Services.

Our service fees ("Service Fees") are the amounts we charge for preparing and filing documents on your behalf. Service Fees are listed on the Site and confirmed at checkout.
4.2 State and Government Fees
State filing fees, federal fees, and other government charges ("Government Fees") are separate from our Service Fees and are paid to the relevant government agency. Government Fees are determined by the agency, are subject to change without notice by the agency, and are passed through to you without markup.
You authorize us to collect Government Fees from you on behalf of the relevant agency or to invoice you separately for them. You are responsible for paying all Government Fees applicable to your filing.

Expedited processing, same-day processing, and other add-on services carry additional fees as listed at checkout. State agencies may charge additional fees for expedited filings, which are passed through to you.

You are responsible for any applicable sales, use, or similar taxes on our Services.
5. Your Responsibilities
You agree that:
(a) All information you provide is accurate, complete, and truthful. We rely on the information you provide. We do not independently verify it. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of names, addresses, identification numbers, signatures, and any other information you submit.
(b) You have the authority to submit the order. You represent that you are at least 18 years old, that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement, and that, if you are submitting the order on behalf of a business or another person, you have the authority to do so.
(c) You will not use the Services for any illegal or fraudulent purpose, including but not limited to filing documents under a false name, evading taxes, money laundering, or any purpose prohibited by federal, state, or local law.
(d) You will respond promptly to our requests for additional information or clarification. Delays in providing requested information may delay your filing and may result in rejection by the state.
(e) You will provide a valid email address at which you can be reached. Most communications, including delivery of stamped documents, are sent by email.
6. Filing Risks and Limitations
6.1 State Processing Times
State agencies set their own processing times. Our turnaround estimates reflect our preparation time only. Actual time to receive stamped documents depends on state processing, which is outside our control and varies by state, time of year, and order volume at the agency.
6.2 Rejections
State agencies may reject filings for reasons including but not limited to: name unavailability, missing or invalid information, prohibited words, failure to meet state-specific requirements, or technical errors at the agency. If your filing is rejected, we will notify you of the rejection and the stated reason; we will work with you to correct and resubmit the filing if possible; and refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.
6.3 No Guarantee of Specific Outcomes
We do not guarantee that your filing will be approved by the state, that your business name will be available, that your business will achieve any particular legal, tax, or financial outcome, or that any specific document will be appropriate for your situation. We guarantee only that we will prepare and submit the documents you order based on the information you provide.
