Ready2File Terms of Use

Updated: October 1, 2024

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SITE.

By using the Ready2File website (the "Site") or any Ready2File applications or application plug-ins ("Applications"), you agree to follow and be bound by these terms of use (the "Terms of Use") and agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including United States export and re-export control laws and regulations. In these Terms of Use, the words "you" and "your" refer to each customer, Site visitor, or Application user; "we," "us," and "our" refer to Ready2File; and "Services" refers to all services provided by us.

It is your responsibility to review these Terms of Use periodically. If at any time you find these Terms of Use unacceptable or if you do not agree to these Terms of Use, please do not use this Site or any Applications. We may revise these Terms of Use at any time without notice to you. If you have any questions about these Terms of Use, please contact us [email protected].

YOU AGREE THAT BY USING THE SITE, ANY APPLICATIONS, AND THE SERVICES YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE AND YOU ARE LEGALLY ABLE TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT.

These Terms require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limit the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute, as described in Paragraph 6 below.

Ready2File provides an online platform to give visitors a general understanding of tax and filing requirements and to offer an automated software solution for individuals who choose to prepare their own documents. Customers do not need to download or license Ready2File software. Ready2File hosts its software as a backend service for customers when they create their own documents. The Site includes general information on commonly encountered tax and filing issues. Ready2File’s Services also include a review of your entries for completeness, spelling, and consistency of names, addresses, and similar details. At no time do we review your entries for legal or tax sufficiency, draw conclusions, provide legal or tax advice, opinions, recommendations, or apply the law to the specifics of your situation. Ready2File is not a law firm or tax advisory service and may not perform services that an attorney or licensed tax professional provides. Ready2File, its Services, and its forms or templates are not a substitute for professional legal or tax advice.

Ready2File strives to keep its documents accurate, current, and up-to-date. However, because tax and filing regulations change frequently, Ready2File cannot guarantee that all of the information on the Site or Applications is completely current. Regulations and requirements vary between jurisdictions and may be interpreted differently by various authorities. Tax and filing matters are personal and specific, and no general information or tools like those Ready2File provides can fit every individual circumstance. Furthermore, the information contained on the Site and Applications is not professional advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete, or up-to-date. Therefore, if you need professional advice for your specific situation, or if your situation is too complex to be addressed by our tools, you should consult a licensed attorney or tax professional in your area.

From time to time, Ready2File may offer access to third-party professionals and introduce our visitors to these professionals through various methods, including but not limited to (i) third-party service plans, (ii) professional directory listings, and (iii) limited-scope agreements with third-party providers. At no time is a client relationship fostered or created with Ready2File through the performance of any such services.

This Site and Applications are not intended to create any client-professional relationship, and your use of Ready2File does not and will not create such a relationship between you and Ready2File. Instead, you are solely responsible for representing yourself in any matter you undertake through Ready2File's document services.

6. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND READY2FILE TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER, UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6(g), BELOW. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. IN ADDITION, ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND READY2FILE FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL.

(a) No Representative Actions.

You and Ready2File agree that any dispute or claim between us, including those arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, is personal to you and Ready2File and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding. For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to "Ready2File," "you," and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, employers, business partners, shareholders, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms or any prior agreements between us. Beneficiaries include, but are not limited to, those named in an estate planning document.


Here’s the section revised for Ready2File:

(b) Arbitration of Disputes.

Most concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by emailing us at [email protected]. In the unlikely event that Ready2File is unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute after attempting to do so informally), this Section 6 applies. Except for (i) individual actions in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or (ii) actions in court seeking injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and Ready2File agree to waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in arbitration. Disputes include, but are not limited to, (a) those arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, and (b) those related to advertising, privacy, data security, and the use of our website. This Arbitration Agreement applies to all Disputes based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, Disputes arising before you accepted these or any prior Terms, Disputes that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class, and Disputes asserted against Ready2File by those you list as authorized contacts on your order.

(c) Arbitration Procedures.

For any Dispute that you have against Ready2File, or that Ready2File has against you, you and Ready2File agree to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally via the following process. If you assert a claim against Ready2File, you will first contact Ready2File by sending a written notice of your Dispute (“Claimant Notice”) by U.S. certified mail addressed to Notice of Dispute, General Counsel, Ready2File, [Company Address]; a courtesy copy of the Notice should also be sent by email to [email protected]. The Claimant Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. For any Dispute that Ready2File may have against you, we will provide you notice (“Ready2File Notice”) in similar form to that described above via the mailing address and email address associated with your account. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for thirty (30) days from the date that either you or Ready2File first send the applicable Notice so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute resolution process.


If you and Ready2File cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after notice is provided, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding, confidential arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, under the limited circumstances set forth herein, in court. All Disputes submitted to AAA will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Unless the parties agree in writing to a different location, arbitration proceedings will be held in Los Angeles County, CA; if you are a Consumer, however, you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence. For purposes of this Section 6, a “Consumer” means a person using the Services for personal, family, or household purposes.

If you are a Consumer, you and Ready2File agree to use the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. If you are not a Consumer, you and Ready2File agree to use the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, including the Expedited Procedures for all Disputes with a value of $75,000 or less. The most recent versions of the AAA Consumer and Commercial Arbitration Rules are available on the AAA’s website at adr.org/Rules, and such rules are hereby incorporated by reference into this Arbitration Agreement. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the applicable AAA Arbitration Rules or waive your opportunity to read the AAA Arbitration Rules and waive any claim that such rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

You and Ready2File acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 6 is to streamline the dispute resolution process, and that Coordinated Filings are likely to frustrate that purpose. As a result, you agree not to assert a demand for arbitration as part of a Coordinated Filing. A “Coordinated Filing” is any demand for arbitration where the underlying claim is similar to at least ten (10) or more other pending demands for arbitration and where representation for that demand is consistent or coordinated with such other demands. Without limiting any remedies, in the event your demand is part of a Coordinated Filing, we may, at our option, decline arbitration and instead litigate the claim in a civil court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the terms of Section 19.

(d) Individualized Arbitration Proceedings and Remedies.

You and Ready2File agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 6 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms, and the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to grant any relief that would otherwise be available in court and to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute, including those arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion thereof. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one claimant.

Here’s the section revised for Ready2File:

(e) Confidentiality.

The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute. You and Ready2File agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and/or other materials that might be exchanged or become the subject of discovery in the arbitration. You and Ready2File agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, and/or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.

(g) Opt Out of Arbitration.

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 6 by sending, via U.S. certified mail, a written Notice of Opt Out to Ready2File. The Notice of Opt Out must be addressed to: Notice of Opt Out, General Counsel, Ready2File, [Company Address]; a courtesy copy of the Notice of Opt Out should also be sent by email to [email protected]. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 19; however, as stated above, you agree any such action will be brought as an individual action and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding.

(h) Additional Terms.

If any portion of this Section 6 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 6 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 6; and (c) to the extent that any claims must proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

Here’s the section revised for Ready2File:

If you wish to seek public injunctive relief against Ready2File, such claim (and only such claim) must be severed from the arbitration and brought in court in accordance with the provisions of Section 19.You and Ready2File agree that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in Los Angeles County, California, have exclusive jurisdiction over the enforcement of an arbitration award made pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.

Here’s the section revised for Ready2File:

Copyright Infringement:

Notice.

Ready2File has in place certain legally mandated procedures regarding allegations of copyright infringement occurring on the Site or with the Service. The Company has adopted a policy that provides for the immediate suspension and/or termination of any Site or Service user who is found to have infringed the rights of the Company or a third party or otherwise violated any intellectual property laws or regulations. The Company's policy is to act expeditiously upon receipt of proper notification of claimed copyright infringement to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. If you have evidence, know, or have a good faith belief that your rights or the rights of a third party have been violated and you want the Company to delete, edit, or disable the material in question, you must provide the Company with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail):

  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;

  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material;

  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit the Company to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, email address;

  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

  • A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

The above written information must be sent to our registered Copyright Agent:

General Counsel

c/o Ready2File100 E Pine St, Suite 125

Orlando, FL

Email: [email protected]

Counter-Notice. If you believe that your Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law to post and use the material in your Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

  • Your physical or electronic signature;

  • Identification of the Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;

  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the Content; and

  • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in Orlando, Florida, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, the Company may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party, informing them that the removed Content may be replaced or access restored within 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Content provider, member, or user, the removed Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, within 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at the Company's sole discretion.
