12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Binding Arbitration

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA" ) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ( "AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Clark County Nevada , Nevada . Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the  state and federal courts  located in Clark County Nevada , Nevada , and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.

If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Restrictions

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions to Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

The time required to process an Express or Rush filing depends on each state’s specific processing time requirements and constraints. We cannot guarantee that your document will be filed within the time you desire, since we do not control the government entities that process the filings. We assume no liability for the government’s delayed filing of your documents.

Delayed Filing Requests are defined as when you request your business entity to be filed on a specific day in the future, or after a specific date such as the first of the year. If the documents are filed BEFORE your requested delayed date of filing, we will offer a full refund of our fees excluding filing costs. We assume no liability for any consequences of the different filing dates other than what is stated above. NOTE: We CANNOT guarantee a specific date of filing; we can offer only to submit a filing AFTER a specific date.

56. Business Name Search and Filing Services

If you are using a Site area or Services that involve selecting a business name (including but not limited to: business name reservations, business name registrations, incorporation or LLC filings, and DBA or fictitious business name filings), then you will provide us with a name you have selected for that site area or specific Service. You agree that you are responsible for the spelling of the name you have provided, that you have double-checked it, and it is the spelling you desire. You understand that once you have submitted your order and once the documents have been submitted for filing to the government office, the name cannot be changed, unless you request a name change and pay the appropriate fees to us.

We cannot and do not check to see whether the name you select, or the use you make of such name, infringes on the legal rights of others. We encourage you to seek the advice of counsel to investigate whether the name you select, or its use, infringes on the rights of others. When you submit your order, you represent that such name does not infringe on the rights of others and that the name is not being registered for an unlawful purpose. You agree to hold us harmless against any and all claims arising from or related to any third parties’ rights regarding the use of the name.

If your desired business filing includes the registration of a business name, then once you select your desired business name and provide it to us, we will perform a preliminary, non-binding name availability search in the appropriate jurisdiction to determine whether it is available to be used in the state of filing. This name availability search is being conducted strictly for the purpose of determining the likelihood that the requested state filing will be successful for a given name. If your provided name is not available, we will then move on to your second or third choice (if applicable). If you wish to cancel the filing process upon notice that the entity name(s) you have chosen is/are unavailable, we will gladly cancel your filing request and refund the service fees paid to us minus any state or government fees that may have been paid in an effort to secure your desired name. You may request a cancellation of your order by providing a written request for cancellation to us, and we will cancel your order upon receipt of notice and process any refunds as per the guidelines stated under Refunds and Returns.

If you do not include the proper corporate indicator at the end of your entity name, (i.e., “Inc.”, “Incorporated”, “Corp.” “Corporation”, “Limited Liability Company” or “LLC”), we will add the “Inc.” or “LLC” suffix at the end of your entity name to complete the processing of your document filing request in those states where required. We cannot guarantee that the name will be available at any time during the process, even if you have reserved it. You acknowledge that registering or reserving a name does not guarantee that the name will ultimately be available or that it will not be challenged by a third party. You may not rely on the name of your entity or state to any person that your entity has been formed until you receive original, state-issued and approved, entity formation documents, such as Articles of Incorporation or Organization. We strongly recommend that you not create any marketing or promotional materials, including websites, company business cards, or brochures, until you receive those documents.

You understand that a corporate name that is available for registration MIGHT STILL INFRINGE ON THE TRADEMARK RIGHTS OF ANOTHER. We are not rendering an opinion as to whether use of your desired business name may infringe upon the rights of others.

Ross & Associates makes no warranties or guarantees regarding the accuracy of the name search results.

The phone number and email address information that you provide to us will be used by a Ross & Associates representative to contact you and follow up with you regarding your name availability results. Phone communication will be attempted at least 3 times and email communication will be attempted at least 7 times with no further communication unless you are subscribed to another mailing list or we must communicate with you for administrative or billing purposes.

If you wish to unsubscribe yourself from any Ross & Associates marketing email campaigns and/or communication, including being apprised of your name availability results via phone or email, you may contact us at: (+1)725.324.7787 or email your inquiries to our support team at info@rossandassociatesmbsp.com with your unsubscribe requests.

57. Trademark Search and Filing Services

Ross & Associates updates its databases with the latest trademark information available from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The accuracy and integrity of the data is NOT guaranteed. Ross & Associates and its affiliates, agents, licensors, and third-party providers hereby disclaim all representations and warranties as provided elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions. Any liability arising from the use or our website or of the preparation of a trademark search report is limited to a refund of the search fee paid (if any).

Many factors determine whether a mark may be successfully registered with the USPTO. Such factors include whether the mark: (a) is being “used in commerce” within the meaning of trademark law; (b) properly identifies the source of the goods or services; (c) is confusingly similar to or dilutes other marks; or (d) is generic or merely descriptive of the products or services associated with the mark.

Ross & Associates DOES NOT interpret your search results to determine whether your trademark is available for use or registration or whether its use may infringe upon the rights of others. Such a determination may be made only by you or your attorney.

58. Payroll Tax Registration Services

By requesting to use our payroll tax registration services (in the states where we offer those services), you authorize us to create an account in your business’ name with the appropriate state office, and you agree to execute any additional written authorization that we may request in order to perform those services. Ross & Associates does not undertake responsibility to create or file any forms, reports, or other documents in connection with any of your obligations with respect to payroll matters. The scope of our service is solely to create the account on your behalf, and then supply you or your payroll service or other designee with the account credentials, following which we will take no further action with respect to payroll matters.
