Last Updated: February 1, 2026

Below is the comprehensive legal documentation for Easy United States (Easy USA States LLC) and the website EasyUnitedStates.com. Please use the links below to navigate each section of this page:

Welcome to Easy USA States LLC (“Easy USA States LLC,”, “Easy USA,”, “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of our website, EasyUnitedStates.com (the “Site”), and all associated services and content (collectively, the “Services”). By accessing or using any part of the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of an organization or business entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

1. Additional Policies

1.1 Privacy Policy.

Your use of our Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

1.2 Legal Disclaimer & Service Accessibility.

We also maintain a Legal Disclaimer and a Service Accessibility statement. By using our Services, you confirm that you have read and agree to those documents as well.

2. Account Setup and Responsibilities

2.1 Registration Requirements.

Certain features of the Services may require you to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, up-to-date information during registration and you must be at least 18 years old. If you register on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have the legal authority to do so.

2.2 Account Security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You should use a strong password and limit access to your account. If you suspect any unauthorized use of your account, notify us immediately at info@easyunitedstates.com so we can assist in securing your account.

3. License to Use the Site

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to access and use the Site and Services for lawful purposes related to forming and managing your business. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

• Unlawful Use: Using the Services in violation of any applicable law or regulation (whether local, state, federal, or international).
• Intellectual Property Misuse: Copying or using our content or materials to infringe upon our rights or the rights of others.
• Reverse Engineering: Attempting to decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any aspect of our Services.
• Fraudulent Information: Submitting false or misleading information or documents during the company formation process (for example, filing documents with false names or data).

4. Scope of Services

4.1 Formation Assistance.

Easy USA States LLC is a private company that provides document-preparation and filing assistance for forming a Florida Limited Liability Company (LLC). If you choose to use our service, we help you complete the information required for your filing and, with your authorization, we submit your Articles of Organization to the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) as the organizer. You may also file directly with the State without using our service. Government processing times and outcomes are determined by the State, and we cannot guarantee approval or timelines. Unless explicitly stated at checkout, state filing fees are separate from our service fee.

4.2 Third-Party Services and Policies.

After your company is formed, you may choose to interact with third parties (for example, banks for opening accounts, payment processors, mail forwarding services, or hosting providers). These external providers have their own eligibility criteria and terms of service. Easy USA States LLC is not responsible for decisions or actions of third parties. For example, if a bank or payment platform declines to onboard you as a customer, or changes its policies, we are not liable for those outcomes. We do not guarantee that any third-party service (such as a bank or payment processor) will approve your applications even if your LLC is properly formed and documented.

4.3 Non-Attorney Role.

Easy USA States LLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal, tax, or financial advice. The content and guidance we provide are for general informational purposes only and should not be taken as professional legal or tax advice. No attorney-client relationship is created by your use of the Services, and you should consult qualified professionals (attorneys, accountants, etc.) for advice specific to your situation.

4.4 User Authorizations & Acknowledgments.

By using our formation Services, you expressly authorize and acknowledge the following:

• Authorized Representative for LLC Formation: You appoint Easy USA States LLC (and/or its agents) as your authorized representative for the purpose of preparing, signing, and filing the Articles of Organization and other formation documents for your LLC with the Florida Department of State. This means Easy USA States LLC may sign filings on your behalf as the Organizer of the LLC, as permitted under Florida law (see Fla. Stat. §605.0203). You affirm that all information you provide for inclusion in these filings is truthful and accurate.
• Registered Agent Appointment: You authorize Easy USA States LLC (or its designated affiliate/partner) to serve as the Registered Agent for your LLC in Florida, which includes signing and filing the required Registered Agent Acceptance with the state on your company’s behalf. If a third-party partner provides the Registered Agent service, that partner will be listed as the official Registered Agent on your state filing. (Florida law requires every LLC to have a registered agent who accepts that appointment in writing.) You agree that you have obtained any necessary consent for this appointment. You also acknowledge that providing false information or designating a registered agent without their consent is illegal – filing false documents with the Florida Department of State is a third-degree felony under Florida law.
• Registered Agent Address Changes (Florida §48.091). We may update the business address of the Registered Agent from time to time in order to comply with Florida law (including the “registered office” and availability requirements in Fla. Stat. §48.091) and to ensure continuity of service. If we change the Registered Agent’s business address, we will (i) file any required notices with the Florida Department of State, and (ii) provide you with at least 30 days’ prior written notice via email and/or your account dashboard. No action is typically required from you for this address update.
• You remain responsible for keeping your contact information current so that you receive our notice. Changing the Registered Agent’s business address does not interrupt the Registered Agent service or your company’s good standing. If you later choose to appoint a different registered agent, you may do so by filing the appropriate change with the state (fees may apply).
• Annual Reports: You understand that after formation, Florida law requires your LLC to file an Annual Report every year to maintain active status. The standard deadline for LLC Annual Reports in Florida is May 1 each year (with late fees assessed thereafter), and failure to file by the state’s final deadline (the third Friday of September) can result in administrative dissolution of your LLC. While we may, as a courtesy, send reminders about Annual Report filings, it is ultimately your responsibility to file the Annual Report on time and pay any required fees. Easy USA States LLC is not automatically obligated to file Annual Reports on your behalf unless you have separately enrolled in such a service with us. If your company is dissolved for non-compliance, we are not liable for any losses, though we can assist with reinstatement for additional fees if requested.
• Electronic Signatures & Communications: You consent to the use of electronic signatures and electronic communications for all interactions with Easy USA States LLC. Agreeing to these Terms or clicking “I Accept” (or similar) on our Site constitutes your electronic signature, which is legally binding just as if you had signed a paper document. You agree that any documents, disclosures, or communications we provide to you electronically (via email, the Site, or other electronic means) satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. This consent applies to all transactions and interactions with us. You should maintain copies of electronic communications by saving or printing them. (If you prefer to withdraw consent to electronic communications, you must notify us and stop using the Services, as electronic communication is integral to our platform.).

5. Payment Terms

By purchasing any Service from our Site, you agree to the following payment terms:

5.1 Fees and Auto-Renewals.

You agree to pay all applicable fees for the Services you select, as listed on our Site at the time of your purchase or as communicated in an invoice. Some Services are one-time, while others (such as Registered Agent services or other subscriptions) may auto-renew on a monthly or annual basis. For example, annual Registered Agent service fees will automatically renew each year using the payment method you provided, unless you cancel the service in advance. We will notify you of upcoming subscription renewals as required by law. You are responsible for keeping your payment information (credit card, PayPal, etc.) current and valid.
Unless explicitly stated at checkout, government fees (including state filing fees) are separate from our service fees and are set by the relevant government agency.

5.2 Payment Processing.

Payments on EasyUnitedStates.com are handled through secure third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). We do not store your full credit card details on our servers. By providing a payment method, you represent that you are authorized to use that method and you authorize us (and our payment processors) to charge the full amount of your purchase (and any applicable auto-renewal fees) to that payment method. In the event of a payment failure (e.g., a declined card or expired account), we may suspend provision of Services until you update the payment.

5.3 Refunds.

Our refund policy is designed to be fair and compliant with payment provider standards. We will honor refund requests only if two conditions are met: (1) we have not yet begun any document filing or formation process for you, and (2) you contact us to request the refund within 24 hours of your payment. If both conditions are satisfied, we will cancel your order and issue a refund to your original payment method. However, once we have started working on your order – for example, if we have already prepared or submitted your LLC formation documents or EIN application – the service is considered commenced and fees become non-refundable. Additionally, any refund that is approved may have certain administrative or processing fees deducted to cover costs we cannot recover (for instance, payment processor fees).

Card-Network & PayPal Rights Unaffected. Nothing in this Refund Policy limits any rights you may have under applicable card-network rules or PayPal buyer-protection policies. Disputes or chargebacks may still be initiated with your payment provider in accordance with their procedures. We reserve the right to contest any chargeback where services have been delivered consistent with these Terms.

Government fees (including state filing fees), if incurred or paid, are generally non-refundable and are subject to the government agency’s rules.

5.4 Chargebacks and Billing Disputes.

If you have an issue with a charge, we encourage you to contact us first at info@easyunitedstates.com to resolve the matter amicably. Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without giving us a chance to address your concern may delay the resolution. We strive to resolve billing issues in good faith. If a chargeback is initiated, we reserve the right to suspend your Services until the dispute is resolved.

If a filing we prepared and submitted is rejected solely due to an error we made (and not due to customer-provided information, name availability changes, or government requirements), we will correct the error and resubmit the filing at no additional service charge. This does not include any government fees or third-party fees that may apply.

6. Intellectual Property

All content and materials available on the Site or provided through the Services – including text, logos, graphics, images, software, and overall design – are the intellectual property of Easy USA States LLC or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. EasyUnitedStates.com and “Easy USA” names and logos are our trademarks/service marks. You may not use, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without our express prior written permission. Limited sharing of content is allowed only as necessary for you to use the Services for their intended purpose. Any unauthorized use of our intellectual property is strictly prohibited.

7. Disclaimers of Warranties

Easy USA States LLC provides the Services on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties and representations of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, regarding the Services. This includes, but is not limited to:

• No General Warranties: We make no guarantees that the Services will meet your specific needs or achieve any particular result. For example, while we facilitate obtaining an EIN or forming an LLC, we cannot guarantee that government agencies (like the IRS or Florida Department of State) will process your documents by a certain time or without unexpected requirements.
• Implied Warranties: All implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, are expressly disclaimed.
• External Outcomes: We do not warrant any outcomes that depend on third parties. For instance, we cannot promise that forming an LLC through us will ensure you can obtain a U.S. bank account or payment gateway – those decisions are made by external institutions beyond our control. Similarly, we do not warrant that any information provided is error-free or that any third-party websites we link to (for example, government or banking sites) are accessible or available at all times.

You assume all risk for your use of the Services. While we strive for accuracy, we do not guarantee that the information on our Site is completely free of errors or omissions. If you find an error, please let us know and we will attempt to correct it.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Easy USA States LLC and its owners, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Services. This includes, for example, damages for lost profits or revenues, business interruption, loss of data, or loss of goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to the Services will not exceed the total amount of fees you paid to us for that particular Service that gave rise to the claim. If the claim involves a subscription service, our liability will be no more than the fees paid for up to one year of that service. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability limitations, so some of these limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the smallest amount permitted by applicable law.

User Indemnification: You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Easy USA States LLC (and our officers, directors, employees, and agents) from and against any and all third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses, or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Services, (b) your violation of these Terms or any law or regulation, or (c) any content or information you provide to us (including inaccuracies or omissions in the information you submit for filings). This means that if a third party sues us because of something you did or failed to do (for example, providing false information that causes a legal issue), you will defend and pay for any judgment or settlement incurred by us, as well as our legal fees, provided that we give you prompt notice of the claim and reasonable cooperation in the defense. This indemnity survives termination of the Services.

9. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

9.1 Initial Resolution Attempt.

We value our relationship with users and prefer to resolve any concerns amicably. If you have a dispute or issue with our Services or these Terms, please contact us at info@easyunitedstates.com and provide a brief written description of your issue. We will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through communication with you. Both you and we agree to spend at least 30 days on good-faith efforts to resolve any dispute informally before initiating arbitration or legal action.

9.2 Binding Arbitration Agreement.

If we are unable to resolve a dispute informally, you and Easy USA States LLC agree that all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration on an individual (not class-wide) basis. You are thus waiving any right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action against us. Arbitration is a process where disputes are decided by a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury.

• Arbitration Procedure: The arbitration shall be administered by a reputable arbitration organization (such as the American Arbitration Association) under its rules for consumer/commercial disputes. The arbitrator will have the authority to decide issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement (including whether a given claim is subject to arbitration).
• Location and Law: The arbitration hearing will take place in the State of Florida (unless you and we agree on another location or a telephonic hearing). The arbitrator will apply Florida law to the merits of any dispute, in accordance with the Governing Law section (Section 11) below. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.
• Arbitration Costs: Each party will be responsible for paying its own arbitration filing fees and costs, subject to any ability of the arbitrator to reallocate fees under applicable rules or statutes. We each agree to bear our own attorneys’ fees.

9.3 30-Day Right to Opt Out of Arbitration.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending us a written notice within 30 days after the earlier of: (a) the date you first accepted these Terms, or (b) the date of your first purchase of our Services. Your notice must include your full name, company (if any), physical address, the email used on your account, your order number (if applicable), and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. Send the notice by email to info@easyunitedstates.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out.” Opting out does not affect other provisions of these Terms, and it applies only to you; we will not retaliate against you for opting out. If you opt out, Section 11 (Governing Law and Venue) will govern any dispute in court, and the Class Action Waiver in Section 9 will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9.4 Class Action Waiver.

You and we agree that any arbitration (or, if arbitration is unenforceable, any court action) will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator (or court) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. You hereby waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action against us to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9.5 Exceptions – Small Claims and Injunctive Relief.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may choose to bring an individual action in a Florida small claims court if the claim is within that court’s jurisdictional limit. Additionally, we retain the right to seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction (such as the state or federal courts in Florida) to prevent actual or threatened misuse of our intellectual property or unauthorized access to our systems (for example, a court order to stop someone from misusing our trademarks or hacking our website), since such actions would have an immediate and irreparable impact that arbitration may not swiftly address.

9.6 Severability of Arbitration Terms.

If any portion of this Dispute Resolution & Arbitration section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful, such provision shall be severed, and the remainder of the arbitration agreement shall remain in effect. However, if the class action waiver in subsection 9.4 is found to be unenforceable in a proceeding that allows class or representative actions, then the entirety of this arbitration section (Section 9) shall be null and void for that proceeding, and the dispute will be decided by a court subject to Section 11 (Governing Law and Venue).

10. Termination of Services

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for reasons including but not limited to: (a) your breach of these Terms or any other policy referenced herein; (b) failure to pay fees when due; (c) we suspect fraud, misuse, or illegal activity by you; or (d) our decision to discontinue the Services or your account. In the event of termination for cause (e.g. due to your breach), we may decline any request for a refund, consistent with our refund policy. Termination of Services will not affect any rights or obligations that by their nature should survive (such as indemnification, limitation of liability, arbitration agreement, etc., which will remain in effect).

You are free to discontinue using our Services at any time. If you wish to cancel an account or any recurring service (like Registered Agent service), you should do so through your account dashboard if available or by contacting us in writing. No pro-rata refunds are provided for early cancellation of services unless stated otherwise in a specific product’s terms.

11. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms (and any dispute or claim arising from them or your use of the Services) are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Subject to the Arbitration agreement above, you agree that any disputes not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Florida, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Florida law governs the formation, interpretation, and enforcement of this agreement, and also governs any issues related to your LLC’s formation except where preempted by federal law (for example, federal law will govern aspects of electronic signatures or federal tax matters).

If you are accessing the Services from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws. Please note that by forming a Florida LLC through our Services, certain aspects of your business will be governed by Florida law by necessity.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update or modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated Terms on this page and update the “Last Updated” date above. In some cases, we might also notify you via email or via a notice on your account dashboard. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. Your continued use of the Services after any update constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to a change, you should stop using the Services and, if applicable, cancel your account or subscriptions.

13. Miscellaneous

Entire Agreement. These Terms, along with the Privacy Policy and other documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Easy USA States LLC regarding the Services. They supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written, between us regarding the Services. (No salesperson or support agent of ours is authorized to make any promises or modifications to these Terms unless done in an official written amendment.)

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing.

No Assignment. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. These Terms are for the benefit of you and Easy USA States LLC only. No third party has any rights to enforce any term of this agreement, except as expressly provided (for example, indemnified parties or our successors and assigns).

Notices. You agree that we may send you notices and communications by email to the address associated with your account, by postal mail (if you have provided a mailing address), or by posting on the Site. Official notices to us should be sent to our contact address provided in the Privacy Policy (or updated on our Site), preferably by email with confirmation of receipt.

Contact & Customer Service. For any questions about these Terms or the Services, please contact us at info@easyunitedstates.com. We appreciate your business and strive to address any concerns promptly.

This Privacy Policy explains how Easy USA States LLC (“Easy USA States LLC,”, “Easy USA,”, “we,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information in the course of operating the EasyUnitedStates.com website and providing our Services. We are committed to respecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the EEA, UK data protection laws, and other relevant regulations. By using our Site and Services, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Privacy Policy.

Scope: This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through our website EasyUnitedStates.com, any related mobile applications, and any correspondence or forms related to our Services (for example, information you provide to form an LLC or obtain an EIN). It does not cover any third-party websites or services that we do not control.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information and other data from you in several ways:

• Information You Provide Directly: When you fill out forms on our Site or communicate with us, you may provide personal details such as your full name, email address, mailing address, and payment information, We do not require a phone number for customer support; we primarily communicate with customers via email and through the account dashboard. For example, during the LLC formation process you will provide details like the desired company name, business address, member/manager names, and possibly identification numbers (e.g., passport or ID for non-US persons, or Social Security/ITIN for US persons if needed). If you apply for an EIN through us, we might collect information required by the IRS (such as responsible party name, SSN/ITIN or passport number, etc.). All information you submit should be accurate and up-to-date.
• Sensitive Identifiers (SSN/ITIN). If you ask us to obtain an EIN, we may collect your SSN or ITIN solely for IRS Form SS-4 purposes. This data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access-controlled to authorized personnel only, and is automatically deleted within 45 days of submission or upon EIN issuance (whichever occurs first), except where a longer retention is legally required (e.g., fraud prevention or audit obligations). We do not request SSNs/ITINs on public landing pages. If an SSN/ITIN is required for an EIN application, it is collected only inside a secured, authenticated account area after purchase, with access controls and additional protections (such as CAPTCHA and entitlement checks).
• Identity Documents (Passports/Proof of Address). If you submit a passport copy and/or proof of address for EIN or identity verification, we use these files only to process your application and verify eligibility. Files are stored securely with restricted access and are automatically deleted within 30 days after use, except where retention is required by law or necessary to resolve a specific dispute.
• Automatically Collected Data: When you use our Site, we automatically collect certain technical data about your visit. This includes your IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, referring URL (the page that led you to our Site), pages you view on our Site, the dates/times of access, and other usage statistics. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (explained in our Cookie Policy below) to collect some of this information. We may also estimate your general location from your IP address (e.g., to know what country you are in). This usage data helps us analyze how our Site is used and improve its performance.
• Third-Party Analytics and Cookies: We use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that set their own cookies to collect information on how visitors use our website. These analytics services may track page views, referral sources, and other metrics. The data collected is generally aggregated and does not directly identify individuals. (See the Cookies & Tracking section and Cookie Policy for more details on our use of cookies and how you can control them.)
• Information from Communications: If you contact us (via email, contact form), we may keep a record of that correspondence, including your contact information and any information you provide in the message, in order to respond to you and improve our customer support.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. Our Services are not directed to minors (see “Underage Users” below).

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for various legitimate business purposes, including:

• Providing and Improving Services: We use your information to carry out our Services – for example, using the details you provide to prepare and file your LLC formation documents, to apply for an EIN on your behalf, or to facilitate other related services. We also use data to maintain and improve the functionality of our Site (debugging issues, analyzing load times, etc.).
• Communication: We use contact information (like email addresses and phone numbers) to communicate with you about your orders and inquiries. This includes sending service-related announcements (e.g. order confirmations, filing statuses, important updates, renewal reminders for services like Registered Agent or Annual Reports) and responding to any questions or support requests you send us. We may also send informational newsletters or promotional emails if you have opted in to receive them (you can opt out at any time).
• Compliance and Verification: We may use personal information to comply with legal obligations. For example, we might require identity verification details to ensure compliance with “Know Your Customer” (KYC) rules, anti-money laundering (AML) laws, or Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions screening, especially for non-U.S. customers. (Note: We do not accept orders from certain high-risk individuals or regions; see our Service Accessibility section.) We also use data as needed to file documents with government agencies (which may include sharing certain information with those agencies, as described below).
• Payments and Transactions: We use financial and personal information to process payments for our Services. Payment details (credit card numbers, PayPal info) are transmitted securely to our payment processors. We may store records of transactions (excluding full card details) for accounting, audits, and dispute resolution.
• Personalization and Marketing (with consent): We might use data about your usage or preferences to tailor content on our Site or to send you targeted marketing about new services that may interest you, but only if you have given consent where required. For instance, if you are a non-U.S. resident who formed a Florida LLC with us, we might later inform you of additional services like assistance with opening a U.S. bank account or tax filing services, if available. You have the right to opt out of marketing communications at any time.
• Security and Fraud Prevention: We may use both personal and technical information to protect our platform, our company, and our users. This includes monitoring for fraudulent transactions or unauthorized access, debugging and repairing errors, and using log and device information to investigate any suspicious activity.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes we collected it for, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason that is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis.

How We Share Your Information

Easy USA States LLC respects your privacy and does not sell your personal information to third parties. We will share information with third parties only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers & Partners: We may share necessary information with trusted third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf. These include, for example:
• Government Filing Agencies: We submit your provided information to the Florida Department of State (Division of Corporations) when filing your LLC formation documents, or to the IRS when submitting your EIN application. These agencies will receive whatever data is required on the forms (e.g., business name, addresses, member/manager names, responsible party for EIN, etc.). This is necessary to perform the services you requested.
• Payment Processors: Your payment information will be processed by companies like Stripe or PayPal (depending on your payment method). They will handle and store your payment details in accordance with their privacy policies. We only share what is needed to process the payment (e.g., the charge amount and your card info or PayPal ID).
• Registered Agent Partner: If our service involves designating a third-party company as your Florida Registered Agent, we will share your LLC’s details with that partner so they can fulfill the RA duties (for example, they may need your name, LLC name, and contact info to forward official documents to you).
• Mailing or Virtual Address Providers: Should you opt for any mail forwarding or virtual office services through us or via referral, we will share necessary info to set up that service at your direction.
• Email/Cloud Providers: We use standard business tools for email, data storage, and customer relationship management (CRM). For example, if you email us, your email and our response may be stored on our email service provider’s servers, or if you fill a form, it may go through our website host or CRM system. These providers are bound by contract to protect your data and use it only to provide their services to us.
  

All such partners and service providers are obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purposes of providing the services to us (and to you).

• Affiliates: Easy USA States LLC may share your information with its affiliates or subsidiaries (if any exist in the future) that are under common ownership or control, in which case we will require them to honor this Privacy Policy.
• Your Consent or Direction: If you specifically request or consent to us sharing information with a third party, we will do so. For instance, if you ask us to send a copy of your filed documents to your attorney or accountant, or if you utilize an integration where you direct us to send data to another service, we will share based on your instructions.
• Legal Compliance and Protection: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with a legal obligation, court order, or subpoena; (b) respond to lawful requests by public authorities (including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements); (c) protect and defend our rights or property, or the rights, property or safety of our users or others; or (d) investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
• Business Transfers: If Easy USA States LLC undergoes a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition by another company, reorganization, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personal information may be among the assets transferred. We will ensure that any such transfer is subject to appropriate privacy and security protections and that your personal information remains subject to confidentiality obligations. If a new entity’s planned use of your data differs materially from this policy, you will be given the opportunity to opt out or delete your data before the transfer.
• Aggregated/De-Identified Data: We may share information that has been aggregated or anonymized, so it no longer identifies you personally, for various purposes such as statistical analysis, improving our Services, or marketing. For example, we might publish trends about how many international entrepreneurs formed companies through our platform, but without any personal details.

We do not engage in third-party advertising networks that track personal data on our Site, but we may have basic integrations (like a LinkedIn or Twitter follow button, which might track usage via their own cookies). We handle any cookies as described in the Cookie Policy.

International Data Transfers

Easy USA States LLC is based in the United States. If you are using our Services from outside the U.S., be aware that your information will likely be transferred to and stored in the United States, as well as possibly processed in other countries if our service providers are located elsewhere. The data protection and privacy laws in the U.S. or these other countries may not be as protective as those in your home jurisdiction.

However, we take steps to ensure that your personal information receives an adequate level of protection. If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or a similar jurisdiction that imposes data transfer restrictions, we rely on appropriate safeguards for any transfer of personal data outside of those regions. Typically, this may involve using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the EU, or ensuring the recipient is certified under an approved framework or that a derogation (exception) applies. By using our Services and providing us with your information, you consent to the transfer of your data to the United States and other jurisdictions as described in this Policy.

If we ever materially change the way we transfer or handle your data internationally, we will update this Policy and notify users in applicable regions as required by law.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

In practice, this means:

• If you form an LLC or use our paid Services, we will retain your data for as long as your company is active or you are a customer, and thereafter for as long as needed for our business operations or legal compliance. For example, we typically keep formation records, invoices, and communications for a number of years in case of audits, disputes, or legal obligations. Business records (like filings we made for you) may be retained indefinitely as part of our company’s filing archive, unless you request deletion and we have no legal reason to refuse (but note that official filings submitted to government become public record and cannot be deleted by us).
• If you apply for an EIN or other government document through us, we may retain copies of the application and result for at least the period required under law or internal policy (often several years) in case of any issue or to assist you with replacements.
• Specific Retention Periods. Without limiting the general retention principles above:
• SSN/ITIN (for EIN requests): deleted within 45 days of submission or upon EIN issuance, whichever comes first, unless a longer retention is legally required.
• Passport / Proof of Address: deleted within 30 days after the EIN/verification process is completed, unless a longer retention is legally required.
• If you merely contact us with questions but do not use our Services, we may retain communications for a shorter period, but at least until the query is resolved plus some additional time in case you reach out again.

We periodically review the data we have and securely delete or anonymize information that is no longer needed. For instance, we may purge inactive user accounts or inquiries after a set time. Some information, however, we may retain longer if required for legitimate business interests, analysis, or record-keeping. Financial and transaction records are typically kept for at least 7 years to comply with tax and accounting laws.

When we delete personal data, we use reasonable measures to ensure it is erased or anonymized so it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Like most websites, EasyUnitedStates.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide and improve our Services, as detailed in our Cookie Policy below. In summary:

• What Cookies Are: Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, smartphone, etc.) as you browse. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a set period or until deleted).

How We Use Cookies: We use cookies for several purposes:

• Necessary Cookies: Some cookies are essential for the operation of our Site (for example, to keep you logged in to your account or remember items in your cart).
• Preference Cookies: These remember your preferences (such as language or region) to provide a more personalized experience.
• Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics and similar tools to understand how users navigate our Site, which pages are popular, and other usage statistics. This helps us improve design and content. The information collected by these analytics cookies is aggregated and not directly identifiable to you (we have enabled IP-anonymization in Google Analytics, meaning Google truncates IP addresses in EU member states and other participating areas ).
• Affiliate Tracking Cookies: If you arrive at our Site via an affiliate or referral link, we set a special tracking cookie to record which partner should be credited for your visit or signup. This cookie contains an identifier for the referring affiliate and possibly your IP address or a visitor ID, and it typically lasts for 60 – 365 days. This means if you sign up for our Services within 60 -365 days of clicking an affiliate link, we can recognize the referral.
• Advertising Cookies: At this time, we do not display third-party ads on our Site that would use advertising cookies or pixels. If this changes, we will update our Cookie Policy and obtain any necessary consents.
• Third-Party Cookies: Some cookies on our Site are placed by third parties. For example, as mentioned, Google Analytics may set cookies (_ga, _gid, etc.), or if any social media plug-ins are on a page, those platforms might set cookies. We do not control third-party cookies; their policies apply.

Your consent may be required for certain cookies (like analytics or affiliate tracking) depending on your location. On your first visit, you should see a cookie notice (especially if you are in a jurisdiction like the EU/UK) and you can choose to accept or adjust settings.

Managing Cookies: You have the right to control and delete cookies. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or warn you when new cookies are set. Please note that blocking all cookies might impact some features of our Site (for example, you may not be able to log in or use the shopping cart if cookies are disabled).

For instructions on how to manage cookies, refer to your browser’s help documentation or settings. For example:

• In Chrome, you can go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
• In Safari, go to Preferences > Privacy.
• In Firefox, go to Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.

You can delete cookies already on your device and set most browsers to prevent cookies from being placed. Keep in mind if you clear cookies you may remove opt-outs you set (so you might need to opt out again).

For analytics, you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the browser add-on provided by Google (available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout). For interest-based advertising cookies (if we ever use them), organizations like the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) offer opt-out tools on their websites where you can manage preferences.

Some links on our site are affiliate/referral links. If you click and complete a qualifying action (like opening and funding an account), we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend services we believe are helpful for new LLC owners. See partner terms for eligibility and limitations.

Please see our detailed Cookie Policy below for more specifics on what cookies we use and for how long.

Data Security

We take reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access or disclosure. These measures include technical, administrative, and physical safeguards such as:

• Encryption: We use HTTPS (TLS/SSL) encryption on our website to secure data transmitted between your browser and our servers (you’ll see a padlock in the address bar). Sensitive data (like payment information) is encrypted when transmitted to our payment processors.
• Access Controls: Internally, we restrict access to personal data to employees or contractors who need to process that data for the purposes described above, and they are subject to strict confidentiality obligations. Our systems require authentication and are protected by firewalls and intrusion detection systems.
• Secure Hosting: Our Site and databases are hosted on reputable cloud servers that employ their own robust security protocols (firewall, monitoring, backup). We keep software up to date to patch vulnerabilities.
• PCI Compliance: For handling payment card information, we adhere to PCI-DSS standards via our payment processors. We ourselves do not store full credit card numbers on our systems to reduce risk.

Despite all efforts, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information. You play a role in security as well: please keep your account password secure and do not share it. If you suspect any unauthorized access to your account or data, contact us immediately.

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities as required by law, and will take prompt action to mitigate the breach.

Access to SSN/ITIN and identity-document data is strictly role-based (least-privilege), logged, and subject to encryption at rest and in transit.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you reside, you may have certain legal rights with respect to your personal data. We honor individuals’ rights as required by applicable law. These rights may include:

• Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to obtain information about how we process it.
• Correction: If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or update it so it is correct.
• Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal information. We will do so, provided we do not have a valid legal reason to retain it (for example, we may retain information for lawful record-keeping or to complete transactions you requested, or as needed for legal compliance).
• Restriction: You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances (for instance, if you contest the accuracy of the data, we may pause processing until it’s verified).
• Data Portability: For information you provided to us, you may have the right to receive it in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
• Withdraw Consent: If we rely on your consent to process certain data (e.g., for marketing emails), you can withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. For example, you can unsubscribe from marketing emails via the link in the email or by contacting us.
• Object to Processing: You may have the right to object to certain processing activities, such as processing for direct marketing or in some cases where we process based on legitimate interests.
• Opt Out of Sale/Sharing: Although we do not sell personal data as defined by certain laws (like CCPA in California), if applicable, you have the right to opt out of any “sale” or certain sharing of your information.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@easyunitedstates.com with your request. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests (for instance, by asking you to confirm some information we already have on file). We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by law (typically within 30 days for GDPR, and 45 days for CCPA/CPRA, etc., with possible extensions). There is generally no fee for these requests, but if requests become excessive or unfounded, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee or refuse, as permitted by law.

Non-U.S. users (GDPR, UK, etc.): Our lawful bases for processing your data include: your consent (where given), performance of a contract with you (e.g., we need your data to form your company), compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests (such as maintaining the security of our Site, improving our Services, and communicating with you as a customer). If you have concerns about our data practices, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your country (for example, an EU Data Protection Authority or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office). We would appreciate the chance to address your concerns first, so please consider reaching out to us.

Underage Users

Our Services are not directed to children or minors, especially those under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from individuals under 16. If you are under 16, please do not use our Site or provide any information about yourself to us.

If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 16 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction), we will take steps to delete that information promptly. For instance, if a parent or guardian contacts us and informs us that their child used our service and provided personal info without consent, we will remove that data from our records (except insofar as retaining it is required or allowed by law).

Parents or guardians who believe we might have any information from or about a minor under 16 should email us at info@easyunitedstates.com so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

External Links

Our website may contain links to external websites or third-party services, such as government portals (e.g., IRS or Florida Division of Corporations), partner offers, or informative articles. If you follow a link to any website that is not under our control, please be aware that we do not have control over those external sites and they have their own privacy policies. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services before providing any personal information to them.

For example, if you click a link to an affiliate partner or a recommended bank’s site, any data they collect will be governed by their privacy practices, not ours. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. If you have concerns about how another site handles privacy, please read their posted policy or contact their site administrator.

Affiliate & Referral Disclosure

Some links on our site are affiliate or referral links. If you click and complete a qualifying action (for example, signing up, opening and funding an account, or making a purchase), we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We recommend only services we believe are helpful for new LLC owners. Program eligibility, rewards, and timelines are set by each partner and may change without notice – always review the partner’s official terms before taking action.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy. If changes are significant, we may also provide a more prominent notice or seek your consent as required by law.

Please review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of our Services after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

If we were to make material changes (for example, if we started collecting additional sensitive information or changed how/why we use data in a way that you might not expect), we would notify affected users via email or via a notice on our Site and obtain consent if required.

Contact Information

Easy USA States LLC (EasyUnitedStates.com)

Email: info@easyunitedstates.com

We will do our best to respond promptly and address any issues you may have. Your privacy is important to us, and we welcome feedback on how we can improve our practices.

This Cookie Policy explains how EasyUnitedStates.com (operated by Easy USA States LLC) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Site. It is intended to be read together with our Privacy Policy. By using our Site, you consent to our use of cookies as described here (to the extent consent is required by law, we will obtain it via the cookie banner on your first visit).

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites save to your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit. Cookies enable the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you come back or browse from one page to another. Cookies can also perform functions like recognizing you when you return, tracking your interactions for analytics or personalization, and storing information about your session.

There are different types of cookies:

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They help websites recognize you as you navigate between pages during a single browsing session.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device after you close your browser and last for a defined period of time. They are used to remember you on subsequent visits.
• First-Party Cookies: Set by the website you’re visiting (in this case, EasyUnitedStates.com).
• Third-Party Cookies: Set by a domain other than the one you are visiting (for example, by analytics or advertising partners).

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential Functions: Some cookies are essential for our website to function properly. For example, if our Site has a login area or a shopping cart, we would use cookies to keep you logged in or to remember the items you added to your cart. These cookies are typically first-party session cookies. Without them, certain services or features may not work. (Example: a session cookie named PHPSESSID or similar could be used to maintain your session state on the server.)
• Preferences: We use cookies to remember your preferences and settings. This includes recognizing you when you return, so we can greet you by name or present information in your preferred language or currency. It also helps with usability—for instance, if you dismiss a notification or cookie consent banner, we might use a cookie to remember that preference so it doesn’t show again.
• Analytics: We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our Site. For instance, we use Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid, etc.) which help us count visitors, see which pages are most popular, how users move around the site, and other usage patterns. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous; we do not see individual user’s browsing behavior on a personally identifiable level. This data helps us improve the content and performance of our website (for example, fixing navigation issues or ensuring users find the information they need easily). Google Analytics may use both session and persistent cookies (some last from 24 hours up to 2 years). As mentioned in the Privacy Policy, we have enabled IP anonymization with Google Analytics to add an extra layer of privacy.
• Affiliate Tracking: If you were referred to our Site by an affiliate partner, we set a special affiliate tracking cookie on your device upon arrival. This cookie stores an identifier that tells us which affiliate referred you, as well as possibly a reference ID for you as a visitor (and it may log your IP address). This allows us to credit the affiliate if you sign up or make a purchase. Our affiliate tracking cookie typically remains for 60 – 365 days. For example, we might set a cookie like affiliate_ref / reco or use an affiliate software cookie, which ensures that if you return within that period and complete a purchase, the referring partner gets credit. After 60 – 365 days, the cookie expires. (Note: If you clear cookies, this tracking will be lost.)
• Advertising and Marketing: Currently, we do not host third-party ads on our site that would use targeting cookies. We also do not use retargeting cookies as of the last update of this policy (meaning we’re not tracking you on our site to later serve you ads on other sites). If we launch marketing campaigns, we may use tools like Facebook Pixel or Google Ads cookies in the future, but if we do, we will update this policy and ensure appropriate consent. For now, any marketing cookies would primarily be our affiliate cookie as mentioned, or possibly cookies set by social media plugins if you engage (like clicking a Facebook “Share” button might set a cookie by Facebook for that action).
• Security: We may use cookies as part of our security measures, for example to help detect suspicious logins or to protect access to secure areas of the site. Certain cookies can help prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks by ensuring your session is valid.

Third-Party Cookies on Our Site: Aside from our own cookies, the primary third-party cookies you might encounter on EasyUnitedStates.com include:

• Google Analytics Cookies: _ga, _gid, _gat (used for throttling request rate). These help us analyze site traffic. (Opt-out info below.)
• Stripe/PayPal Cookies: If you go to a payment page, Stripe or PayPal might set cookies to manage the checkout process and prevent fraud. For instance, Stripe might set cookies like __stripe_mid or __stripe_sid to remember your session between pages and to verify payment information.
• Social Media Widgets: If any page includes embedded content from third parties (like a YouTube video, a Twitter feed, or a Facebook like button), those providers may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies; they are governed by the third party’s own privacy/cookie policies. We try to minimize such integrations, but they may exist on some informational pages or blog posts.

Your Choices: Managing & Opting Out of Cookies

Consent Management: When you first visit our Site, you may see a cookie consent banner (especially if required by law in your region). You can choose to accept all cookies or customize your cookie settings. If you opt out of certain categories (like analytics), those cookies should be disabled. You can adjust your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link (if available on our site’s footer) or by clearing cookies and revisiting the site to see the banner again.

Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can typically:

• Clear existing cookies – remove cookies that are already on your device.
• Block new cookies – prevent cookies from being set (either all cookies, or from specific sites).
• Set exceptions – e.g., allow cookies from sites you trust, but block third-party cookies.
• Receive Do Not Track signals – Some browsers let you send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites; however, many sites (including ours currently) may not alter their behavior based on DNT signals alone.

Refer to your browser’s help guide for specific instructions:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data – here you can block all or third-party cookies, and clear browsing data.
• Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data – you can manage data and set Enhanced Tracking Protection levels.
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy – you can block all cookies or manage website data.
• Edge: Settings > Site permissions > Cookies and site data.
• Opera: Settings > Advanced > Privacy & security > Site settings > Cookies.

Keep in mind, if you disable all cookies, some parts of our Site may not function properly (for example, you might not be able to log in or complete a purchase).

Analytics Opt-Out: To specifically opt out of Google Analytics, you can install Google’s opt-out browser add-on here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This instructs Google Analytics script not to send information about your visit to Google Analytics. Additionally, we honor the cookie preferences on our site; if you decline analytics cookies via our banner, the Google Analytics script should be disabled or adjusted accordingly.

Affiliate Cookies: If you do not wish to be tracked for affiliate referral purposes, you can either decline the tracking cookie via our cookie settings or simply clear cookies after visiting (note that by doing so, if you make a purchase we won’t know to credit the referrer). Affiliate cookies are benign in that they do not collect your personal data beyond the referral information, and are not used for anything other than tracking the referral of our own services.

Advertising Cookies: As of now, we don’t use targeted advertising cookies. If that changes and you want to opt out, we will provide instructions. Generally, for third-party advertising networks, you can visit:

• Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page: http://optout.networkadvertising.org
• Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page: http://optout.aboutads.info (for U.S.-based)
• Your Online Choices (EU): http://www.youronlinechoices.com

These allow you to opt out of many participating ad networks’ cookies at once.

Other Tracking Technologies

Cookies are the most common tracking tool, but for completeness: We may also use web beacons (a.k.a. pixel tags) in emails or on our site. These are tiny images or code snippets that detect when a user has opened an email or visited a particular page. For example, our newsletter emails might contain a pixel to tell us if the email was opened or if links were clicked, which helps us gauge engagement.

We might also use local storage or HTML5 cookies for certain features (similar to cookies but stored in your browser’s local storage). If so, we treat that storage with the same respect for preferences.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

If we make any significant changes to our use of cookies (such as adding new categories, using cookies for additional purposes, or integrating new third-party services that use cookies), we will update this Cookie Policy accordingly and adjust the cookie consent mechanism on our Site. The “Last Updated” date at the top will reflect the latest revision. We encourage you to review this section periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.

Consent & Controls

We use a cookie banner and a preference center to collect and manage your choices. By default, non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics and marketing) are not set until you grant consent where required. Our implementation supports Google Consent Mode v2, which means Google tags (e.g., GA4/Ads) adjust their behavior based on your consent. You can review or change your choices at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out for analytics and marketing cookies by default, and we honor that preference.

Region-specific consent

Where required by law (e.g., EU/UK/EEA), we will ask for your opt-in before setting non-essential cookies. In the U.S., you may opt out of “sharing”/targeted advertising via “Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information” in the footer (if/when applicable).

Categories we use:

Essential: login/session, fraud prevention, security, checkout (these are always on).

Preferences: language, region, and UI choices.

Analytics: aggregated usage measurement (e.g., Google Analytics with IP anonymization).

Marketing: affiliate attribution and any future advertising pixels (not set without consent).

Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary by type and provider. Session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies last from 24 hours up to 24 months, unless you delete them sooner. Affiliate cookies typically last 60 – 365 days.

Managing your choices

You can accept/reject non-essential cookies in our banner, adjust settings anytime in Cookie Settings, or use your browser controls to delete or block cookies. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can use Google’s add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Contact Us

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies and tracking technologies, feel free to contact us at info@easyunitedstates.com. We will be happy to explain or provide more detail.

By using our Site after having been presented with our cookie notice, you understand and agree to the placement of cookies as described above, unless you have adjusted your browser or cookie settings to refuse cookies.

The following Legal Disclaimer outlines important information about the scope of our services and responsibilities. By using EasyUnitedStates.com and our Services, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this disclaimer. This disclaimer forms part of our Terms and Conditions, but we highlight it here for clarity.

Not a Law Firm or Financial Advisor:

Easy USA States LLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, tax advice, or financial planning services. All information, guides, or templates on our Site are provided for general informational purposes only. No attorney-client relationship or professional advisory relationship is created by your use of our Services. If you have specific legal or tax questions regarding your situation (for example, questions about what business structure to choose, how laws apply to your business, visa/immigration matters, tax obligations as a non-resident, etc.), we strongly recommend that you consult with a licensed attorney, accountant, or relevant professional. You are solely responsible for complying with laws and regulations applicable to you and your business, and for seeking professional advice when needed.

Service Scope and Third-Party Involvement:

Our platform facilitates certain tasks (like business entity formation and obtaining EINs) by coordinating with government agencies and third-party service providers. While we strive to make the process smooth:

• Easy USA States LLC cannot guarantee approval or success of filings by government agencies. We act as your filing agent, but final decisions (e.g., whether the state approves your LLC name or whether the IRS issues an EIN promptly) are outside our control.
• We may also refer or connect you to external providers for additional services (such as opening bank accounts, mailing addresses, web hosting, or bookkeeping). These are offered for your convenience. We are not responsible for the products, services, actions, or errors of any third parties we might connect you with. Any contracts or agreements you enter with third parties are strictly between you and them, and you should review their terms and conditions carefully.
• We do not endorse third parties beyond making introductions, and we disclaim liability for any issues arising from their services. (For example, if a registered agent partner fails to forward your mail, or a recommended bank has hidden fees, those issues must be resolved with the respective provider.)

No Guarantee of Results or Business Success:

Using our Services to form a company or obtain documents does not guarantee any particular outcome for your business. We do not guarantee that:

• You will be approved for a U.S. bank account, payment processor, or any other service. (Many financial institutions have their own criteria and may reject applications for reasons outside our knowledge or control.)
• Your company will achieve any level of financial success or profitability. Business outcomes depend on many factors (market conditions, your efforts, etc.) entirely unrelated to the paperwork we handle.
• You will receive any tax benefits or immigration benefits. (For example, forming a U.S. LLC might not by itself confer U.S. visa eligibility or tax advantages without proper structuring and compliance.)
  In short, we help with compliance and setup, but everything related to running a successful business is up to you. We make no promises of profitability or advantage beyond providing the stated services.

User’s Responsibility for Compliance:

You, as the business owner or organizer, are fully responsible for complying with all laws and regulations that apply to you and your newly formed business. This includes:

• Any licensing requirements in the jurisdiction where you conduct business. (Forming an LLC in Florida, for instance, doesn’t exempt you from needing local city/county business licenses if required, or professional licenses if you engage in regulated activities.)
• Ongoing obligations like taxes (state taxes, federal taxes, sales tax if applicable, etc.), annual report filings (as covered in Terms), maintaining a registered agent and office, and any other filings (like changes in management, address updates, etc.). We can assist with some filings if you request, but ultimately the responsibility lies with you to ensure they’re done.
• International regulations: If you are not a U.S. resident, you must ensure that operating a U.S. company is allowed under your own country’s laws, and that you comply with any foreign business reporting requirements (some countries require you to report foreign business ownership, for example). We cannot advise on foreign laws.
• Sanctions and Export Controls: If you or your country is subject to embargoes or sanctions (see Service Accessibility section), or if your business will deal with regulated products/technology, it’s your duty to comply with U.S. export control laws and not to engage in prohibited transactions. We reserve the right to refuse service if we suspect non-compliance in these areas.

Easy USA States LLC disclaims any liability for your failure to comply with legal requirements applicable to your business. We provide tools and reminders (like sending an annual report reminder email), but we are not your legal watchdog. It’s strongly recommended you keep yourself informed or hire professionals for ongoing compliance.

Government and Regulatory Changes:

Laws and government procedures can change without notice. For example, state filing fees might change, the IRS might change EIN application processes, or new regulations could affect non-resident business owners. We cannot predict or control changes in legislation or policy. We will do our best to adapt to any changes and inform our users when relevant, but we are not liable for any consequences stemming from changes in laws or government policy. This includes processing delays due to government backlogs, changes in tax law that might affect your business, or new restrictions on services. By using our Service, you accept that regulatory environments evolve and that you may need to adjust accordingly (with professional advice as needed).

Limitation of Liability (Summary):

This is a summary of the liability limits described in our Terms for emphasis. Easy USA States LLC (and its members, employees, and agents) is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of our Services. Our maximum liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the service in question. We specifically are not liable for:

• Losses caused by third parties (such as mail carrier issues, third-party bank decisions, registered agent negligence by a partner, etc.).
• Loss of your business opportunities or profits, whether due to delays in filing or any action/inaction on our part.
• Any punitive damages or claims based on speculative harm.

By agreeing to our Terms, you also agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against any third-party claims related to your use of the Services or your business’s operations (see the detailed Indemnification clause in the Terms). This means if someone else sues us because of something you did, you’ll cover our costs.

Accuracy of User-Provided Information:

We rely entirely on the information you provide us to complete filings (e.g., your name spelling, address, company details). You are responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and truthfulness of all information you submit. We do not independently verify information like spelling of names, addresses, or ID numbers unless required (and even then, verification is often limited to format, not correctness). If a filing is rejected or your documents have errors due to inaccurate information you provided, we are not liable for the consequences. We will assist you in correcting any errors (additional state fees may apply if the error was not ours), but we cannot cover losses arising from such errors. Always double-check the info you provide to us. If a filing is rejected due to our preparation error, we will correct and resubmit the filing at no additional service fee.

Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and Restricted Individuals:

For security, compliance, and risk reasons, we do not accept orders from individuals identified as Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) or from individuals on any government sanctions list (such as the U.S. Treasury’s OFAC SDN list) or other high-risk parties. If you fall into one of these categories, you are not authorized to use our Services. We reserve the right to cancel orders or terminate accounts if we discover a user is a PEP or sanctioned individual. This is to prevent involvement in corruption or money-laundering schemes and to comply with international regulations. By using our Service, you confirm that you are not prohibited from engaging in commerce with U.S. companies.

No Endorsement of Customer Businesses:

Easy USA’s assistance in forming your company or providing services does not imply any endorsement or validation of your business activities. We do not vet your business idea or model for legality or viability (beyond basic compliance checks). You are solely responsible for operating ethically and legally. We expressly disclaim any responsibility for the activities of the businesses we help to form. If a customer uses their LLC for fraudulent or illegal purposes, Easy USA disclaims any liability or connection to those activities.

Right to Refuse Service:

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at our discretion, especially if we suspect the service may be used for unlawful purposes, if the order originates from a sanctioned country, or if the information provided raises compliance red flags. This could include orders that suggest potential fraud, abuse, or that fall outside the scope of our offerings. In such cases, if payment was made, we will issue a refund for any service not delivered (unless prohibited by law or if the funds are frozen due to compliance investigation).

Amendments to Disclaimer:

This Legal Disclaimer may be updated from time to time (for example, if laws change or we expand our services). We reserve the right to modify this section without prior individual notice. Changes will be effective upon posting to our Site. We encourage you to review this section periodically. Continued use of the Services after changes signifies your acceptance of the revised disclaimer. If you do not agree with any updated disclaimer, you should discontinue use of the Services.

If You Don’t Agree:

If you do not agree with any part of this Legal Disclaimer or the Terms and Policies as a whole, do not use EasyUnitedStates.com or our Services. By proceeding to use the site and services, you acknowledge that you understand and accept all the above points.

Easy USA States LLC strives to offer its Services to a wide range of international customers who wish to form and operate a U.S. business. However, certain legal and practical limitations apply regarding who can use our Services and what happens after formation. This section explains those limitations and disclaimers related to service accessibility, especially in the context of international (non-U.S.) users and sanctioned countries.

Jurisdictional Restrictions and Sanctions:

We cannot provide services to individuals or entities located in countries that are under U.S. sanctions or embargoes, or to those identified on certain government lists (such as the U.S. Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals list). For example, if you are a resident of North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, the Crimea region, or any other territory with comprehensive U.S. sanctions, we unfortunately cannot assist you. This is because facilitating business in those jurisdictions could violate U.S. law. We also may decline service if you are ordinarily resident in a region with extremely high risk or lacking a reliable way to verify identity. These measures are in place to comply with international laws and ensure safety and legality.

Accessibility of Post-Formation Services:

Forming a U.S. LLC is only one step in establishing a business presence. Some follow-up services (especially banking and payment processing) may not be available to all international users, even if we successfully form your LLC. Notably:

• Many U.S. banks and financial institutions have internal policies restricting account openings for people from certain countries or without a U.S. Social Security Number. While it is often possible for non-U.S. residents to get a U.S. bank account or online fintech account, some banks might refuse customers based on nationality or due to difficulty in verifying identity across borders.
• Payment processors and merchant services (like Stripe, PayPal, etc.) each have their own list of supported countries. If your country isn’t supported, you might not be able to fully use those services with your U.S. company. Additionally, those platforms perform their own risk assessment and may deny your application or limit your account if they have concerns.
• Even services like virtual mailboxes, phone providers, or online marketplaces might have restrictions or extra steps if the primary contact is outside the U.S.

No Influence Over Third-Party Policies:

As much as we would like all our clients to smoothly obtain all necessary ancillary services, Easy USA States LLC has absolutely no control over the internal rules or decisions of banks, payment processors, and other third-party providers. Their approval processes and risk tolerances vary and are at their sole discretion. Even if your documents are perfectly in order and you personally have no issues, a bank or platform can still choose not to work with you for reasons like:

• Your country of residence is not one they support.
• Your line of business is considered high-risk or outside their policy.
• They have reached a quota or limit for international clients at the time.

We want to emphasize: our assistance in forming your LLC and obtaining official documents does not guarantee that external companies will accept you as a customer.

Legitimate Documentation, Not a Guarantee:

All the documents we provide you (Articles of Organization, EIN confirmation letter (issued by the IRS), operating agreements, etc.) are legitimate and meet the standard requirements for opening accounts or proving your company’s existence. We have helped many international entrepreneurs, and in many cases, our clients have successfully opened bank accounts and payment accounts with the documents and guidance we supply. U.S. banks commonly accept a Florida LLC’s Articles of Organization and EIN letter (issued by the IRS) as valid documentation. However, ultimate approval rests solely with the third-party provider. If a bank’s policy is to require a personal visit, an in-state address, or a U.S. credit history, that is beyond what any formation service can solve. Similarly, if PayPal or Stripe decides they cannot support your country at this time, the validity of your documents won’t overcome that policy.

Many banks, payment platforms, and service providers may request business formation and tax documents (for example, your filed Articles of Organization and an EIN confirmation issued by the IRS). We do not guarantee approval, acceptance, or account opening by any third party. We provide copies of the official documents returned/issued by the relevant government offices and support you in correcting a filing if it is rejected due to our preparation error (see Refund Policy).

Recommendations Before and After Formation: We strongly advise that you do some research on the specific services you plan to use for your business:

• Bank Accounts: Look into which U.S. banks or fintech companies accommodate non-resident LLC owners. Some banks allow online opening for non-residents (often with additional document requirements), while others may require travel. Services like Mercury or Wise might be options to consider as they are fintech platforms friendly to non-U.S. founders.
• Payment Processors: Check Stripe’s and PayPal’s country support pages. If they don’t officially support your country, consider alternatives or be prepared that you might need a U.S. or third-country intermediary (like a business partner or a nominee who is based in a supported country).
• Marketplace Platforms: If you intend to sell on Amazon, Etsy, or similar, verify their requirements for international sellers (many do allow it with U.S. companies, but they’ll require identity verification).
• Tax and Compliance: Ensure you understand how you will handle necessary U.S. filings (like if you have a single-member LLC owned by a non-U.S. person, you’ll likely file Form 5472 + pro forma 1120, etc.). While this is outside forming the company, it’s an important part of making the company viable long-term.

By checking these conditions before proceeding, you can save time and avoid potential disappointments. We provide general guidance on these matters in our resources, but each user’s needs differ.

Notice of Limitations:

We make it clear that our service ends at the formation and immediate post-formation deliverables (like EIN, initial documents, etc.). Everything beyond that – bank, payments, running the business – is in your domain. We do offer support and referrals where possible, but there may be cases where despite having a perfectly valid LLC, external factors limit your ability to utilize it fully. This is not a failure of our service, but a reality of international business.

Updating Service Accessibility:

Global regulations can change. Banks that were once friendly to foreigners could tighten up, or vice versa. Payment providers might expand into new countries or pull out of others. We stay aware of general trends (for instance, as of this writing, U.S. fintechs like Mercury and Brex have been popular for non-residents, whereas some traditional banks require a visit). We will update our guidance if major shifts occur. However, we can’t individually update each client beyond providing general notices or blog updates. It’s in your interest to stay informed too.

No Liability for Accessibility Issues:

Easy USA States LLC expressly disclaims liability for any business limitations or losses you experience due to service accessibility issues imposed by third parties or geopolitical reasons. For example, if you form an LLC and then discover you cannot open a desired account or cannot operate in your country due to legal reasons, we are not responsible for those outcomes (aside from possibly advising alternatives). We fulfill the service of giving you a U.S. legal entity; how that entity can be used globally is beyond our contractual responsibility.

Service Modifications:

We reserve the right to refuse or halt services if at any point continuing would violate sanctions or expose us to legal risk. For example, if after forming a company we learn that the beneficiary is in a sanctioned region, we may resign as registered agent and help dissolve the company to comply with law. We will inform the user in writing of any such actions.

In all cases, we aim to be transparent and helpful. Our mission is to make the U.S. business formation process as easy and accessible as possible to international entrepreneurs, within the bounds of U.S. law and practical feasibility. If you have questions about whether our service is right for you given your country or situation, please contact us before ordering, and we’ll do our best to advise.

(This Refund Policy is also summarized in Section 5.3 of the Terms, but is reiterated here for clarity and to meet payment processor requirements.)

We want you to feel confident in purchasing our Services. However, due to the nature of business filings (which often begin processing immediately and incur costs), we have a limited refund window. Below are our refund terms:

Eligibility for Refunds:

You may request a refund within 24 hours of your payment, provided that we have not yet begun filing documents or fulfilling your order. If you wish to cancel your order, you must contact us by email at info@easyunitedstates.com within 24 hours. We will confirm whether work has started and, if not, will process the refund. Typically, “not yet begun” means we have not submitted any formation documents to the state, not applied for an EIN, and not paid any third-party fees on your behalf.

After 24 Hours or Once Processing Begun:

After the initial 24-hour window, all sales are final. Once we have started work on your order, we cannot offer a refund, even if 24 hours have not yet passed. For example, if you place an order and we immediately draft and submit your Articles of Organization to the state (which can often happen the same day), at that point the service is in progress and non-refundable. This policy is in place because filing fees may have been paid and our team’s effort invested. Additionally, many of our services are digital goods and irrevocable once delivered (you cannot “return” a filed corporation to get state fees back, for instance).

Administrative Fees on Refunds:

If a refund is granted (due to a timely cancellation before work starts), we reserve the right to withhold a small administrative fee to cover any payment processing costs or administrative effort. Payment processors (like Stripe/PayPal) charge fees that are often non-refundable to us even if we refund you. If a refund is granted, we may withhold a reasonable processing fee to cover non-recoverable payment processor costs, where permitted by law. Any such fee (if applicable) will be disclosed to you before the refund is finalized. This is not a penalty; it simply covers transaction costs we incurred.

Method of Refund:

Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method you used. If you paid by credit/debit card, the refund will go back to that card (it may take 5-10 business days to reflect on your statement, depending on your bank). If you paid via PayPal balance or bank, the refund returns there. We cannot send refunds to alternate accounts or in cash.

Exceptions:

In extraordinary cases, we may make an exception to the no-refund-after-24h policy. For example, if a service could not be fulfilled due to an error on our part or inability to deliver, we would refund regardless of time (or offer a remedy). This would cover scenarios such as: we mistakenly charged you twice, we find out after payment that we cannot form your company (perhaps due to a state restriction) and you don’t want an alternative solution, etc. Such cases are rare, and we handle them on an individual basis.

Chargebacks/Disputes:

We ask that you refrain from filing a chargeback or payment dispute without contacting us first (as noted in Terms 5.4). Filing a dispute with your bank or PayPal before giving us a chance to resolve it is often a slower route to a resolution and can complicate verification. If you are past the refund window but have concerns (for example, unexpected delays), please talk to us – we aim to be reasonable and find a solution. Unauthorized chargebacks after a service has been delivered will be contested, as our policy is clearly stated here.

Compliance with Stripe/PayPal Policies:

This refund policy is designed to be fully compliant with Stripe and PayPal requirements for clarity and fairness. We clearly state the conditions under which refunds are granted and not granted, which helps protect both our business and you as a customer from misunderstandings. By setting a 24-hour cancellation period and disallowing refunds once work begins, we create a clear standard that payment processors consider acceptable for services of this nature. Both Stripe and PayPal encourage merchants to have transparent refund policies, and we have done so here. This helps us defend against any payment disputes by showing that our policy was plainly communicated at purchase, and it helps you know exactly what to expect.

If you have any questions about whether you are eligible for a refund, or if you need to discuss an issue with your order, please contact our support team at info@easyunitedstates.com. We value our customers and will do our best to address your concerns within the bounds of our policy.

Below is a glossary of legal and business terms used on our site and in our policies, to help ensure clarity for all users (especially those new to U.S. business concepts). This is provided for convenience and is not exhaustive.

• Organizer: In the context of LLC formation, an Organizer is the person or company that prepares, signs, and files the Articles of Organization with the state to form the LLC. The Organizer is not necessarily an owner of the LLC. Easy USA States LLC often acts as the Organizer for clients’ Florida LLCs, signing the formation documents as an authorized representative (see Authorized Representative below). Once the LLC is formed, the Organizer’s role is generally complete. (For corporations, a similar role exists called an incorporator.)
• Authorized Representative: This term refers to a person who has been given authority to act and sign documents on behalf of another person or entity. In our case, you appoint Easy USA States LLC (or a member of our team) as an authorized representative to file formation documents for your LLC. Florida law specifically allows an authorized person to sign the Articles of Organization for an LLC. The authorized representative’s signature on the filing does not make them an owner of your company; it is a procedural role to get the company legally formed.
• Registered Agent: A Registered Agent (sometimes called a resident agent or statutory agent) is a person or company designated to receive legal documents and official correspondence on behalf of a business entity. Every Florida LLC (and most business entities in the U.S.) is required to have a registered agent with a physical address in the state of formation. The registered agent’s duties include receiving service of process (lawsuit papers, if the company is sued) and government notices, and forwarding them to the company. Easy USA States LLC or its partner may serve as your LLC’s registered agent in Florida. A registered agent must be available during business hours at the registered office address. You can change your registered agent by filing a notice with the state; similarly, an agent can resign or change their address with proper filings. It’s critical to maintain a valid registered agent – failure to do so can lead to administrative dissolution of the company.
• Articles of Organization: The Articles of Organization is the foundational document filed with the state to officially create a Limited Liability Company. In Florida, the Articles of Organization typically include the LLC’s name, principal office address, registered agent name and address, the Organizer’s name and signature, and sometimes the management structure of the LLC. Once filed and approved by the Florida Department of State, the Articles serve as the birth certificate of the LLC – you’ll receive a stamped or certified copy confirming the LLC’s existence. (For corporations, the equivalent is called Articles of Incorporation.)
• Annual Report: In Florida (and many other states), an Annual Report is a required filing that every active business entity must submit each year, usually to confirm or update the company’s information on record (such as principal address, registered agent, and officers/managers names) and to pay the annual renewal fee. The Florida LLC Annual Report is due between January 1 and May 1 each year. Annual Report: In Florida (and many other states), an Annual Report is a required filing that every active business entity must submit each year, usually to confirm or update the company’s information on record (such as principal address, registered agent, and officers/managers names) and to pay the annual renewal fee. The Florida LLC Annual Report is due between January 1 and May 1 each year. Filing the report on time keeps the company in good standing. If you miss the May 1 deadline, Florida imposes a $400 late fee. If you fail to file the Annual Report altogether by the state’s final cutoff (the third Friday in September), the state will administratively dissolve the LLC, meaning your company is no longer active or authorized to do business. (You can reinstate a dissolved company by filing for reinstatement and paying fees, but it’s a hassle and expense best avoided.) The Annual Report is not a financial statement; it’s more like an information update and tax for the privilege of continuing to exist as a company. We remind our clients about Annual Reports, but it’s ultimately each company’s responsibility to file it. Note: The term “Annual Report” can be confusing – it’s not a narrative report or something that gets published publicly beyond the state records. It’s essentially a renewal form.
• EIN (Employer Identification Number): An EIN is a unique nine-digit number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to identify a business entity for tax purposes. It’s also known as a Federal Tax ID Number. Think of it as the business equivalent of a Social Security Number. If you form an LLC or corporation, an EIN is often needed to open bank accounts, file taxes, hire employees, and more. For single-member LLCs owned by individuals, an EIN is not legally required if you have no employees and don’t file certain taxes (you could use your personal SSN), but banks and others will almost always prefer an EIN, and it’s better for privacy to use an EIN. We assist in obtaining EINs for our customers by preparing and submitting IRS Form SS-4 on your behalf. Non-U.S. residents can get EINs as well (the process might take a bit longer in some cases, as the IRS might require faxed applications). Once issued, an EIN is permanent and doesn’t expire. It will be used on any federal tax filings for your company. Keep your EIN letter (CP 575 or 147C) safe, as it’s proof of your number.
• Operating Agreement: An Operating Agreement is an internal document (not filed with any government) that outlines the ownership and operating procedures of an LLC. It’s basically a contract among the members (owners) of the LLC, or, if only one owner, a declaration of how you’ll run the company. While Florida law does not require an LLC to have a written Operating Agreement, it is highly recommended to have one. Banks and investors may ask for it, and it helps prevent and resolve disputes by clearly laying out each member’s rights and responsibilities. The Operating Agreement typically covers how profits and losses are split, how decisions are made (voting rights), what happens if a member wants to leave or if new members join, dissolution procedures, and more. Easy USA States LLC provides a basic Operating Agreement template for single-member or multi-member LLCs as part of our service, which you can customize to fit your needs.
• Member: A Member of an LLC is an owner of the LLC. This is analogous to a shareholder in a corporation, but LLCs use the term member. Members can be individuals or other companies. They may own a certain percentage or “membership interest” of the LLC as defined in the Operating Agreement. Members can also be managers, but if the LLC is manager-managed, members might be passive investors. Single-member LLCs have just one member (you, if you form it alone). Multi-member LLCs have multiple owners. Members have rights to share in profits and losses, and they typically have voting rights on major decisions unless the Operating Agreement says otherwise. Non-U.S. persons can be members of U.S. LLCs without issue.
• Manager: In an LLC, a Manager is a person (or entity) designated to manage the LLC’s day-to-day operations. LLCs can be member-managed (where all members collectively manage) or manager-managed (where one or more managers are appointed to handle operations, who could be some of the members or outside persons). This designation is often stated in the Articles of Organization in Florida. If you are a non-resident who doesn’t plan to actively run the LLC, you might appoint a manager (but note, that manager needs to be someone you trust). In many cases for small businesses, the member(s) and manager(s) are the same people.
• Administrative Dissolution: This is an action by the state to shut down a company’s active status due to non-compliance with certain requirements (like failing to file the Annual Report or maintain a registered agent). If your Florida LLC is administratively dissolved, it means the state has declared it inactive. While dissolved, the company should not conduct business except actions necessary to wind up. You can typically reinstate the company by fixing the issue (like filing any missed reports and paying fees) within a certain period. After a long period, reinstatement may become more difficult or not allowed, depending on the state’s rules. Always address state compliance notices to avoid dissolution.
• Good Standing: A company is said to be in “good standing” if it has met all its state requirements (e.g., up-to-date on filings and fees). You can obtain a Certificate of Good Standing (also called a Certificate of Status) from the Florida Department of State to prove your LLC is active and compliant. Banks or investors might request this certificate. Good standing is lost if you get administratively dissolved or fall behind on obligations.
• Chargeback: This is a return of funds to the payer of a transaction, initiated by the payer’s bank. In our context, if a client disputes a charge with their credit card company claiming it was unauthorized or not delivered, the bank may issue a chargeback. We have a process to contest illegitimate chargebacks by providing evidence of service delivery and our clear policies (hence the importance of our clear refund policy). We prefer to work directly with customers to avoid chargebacks, as they are costly and time-consuming for all parties.
• Stripe/PayPal Compliance: This refers to adhering to the terms of service and guidelines set by these payment processors. Both Stripe and PayPal require merchants to have certain policies (like a refund policy, privacy policy) visible and fair. They also monitor for excessive disputes or fraudulent transactions. We maintain compliance by having transparent policies (like this document) and by providing services as described, to keep dispute rates low and user satisfaction high. Non-tangible services like ours are allowed on these platforms as long as we follow their rules, which we do (for instance, we don’t sell anything illegal, we fulfill within promised timeframes, etc.).
