6. Orders and Provision of Services

Contract Formation: No part of this Website constitutes a contractual offer capable of acceptance. Your order constitutes an offer that we may, at our sole discretion, accept via a confirmation email.
Commencement of Services: Because document coordination and processing with government departments involve immediate logistical actions and fees, provision of Services typically begins immediately upon order confirmation.

Delays caused by government processing times, backlogs, holidays, or missing required underlying notarizations are outside of our control.
Shipping and Mail Delays: Delivery of completed documents is provided by third-party carriers (e.g., FedEx, UPS, USPS). We will not take responsibility for mail delays, delivery disruptions, or documents lost in transit by the service provider.

8. Cancellation and Refunds

Once processing has commenced or government filing fees have been committed on your behalf, orders cannot be canceled, and fees are non-refundable. If an order cannot be processed due to incorrect or invalid documentation provided by the User, service fees for work already performed will still apply.

9. Limitation of Liability
