In these Terms of Use, the words "you" and "your" refer to each customer or Site visitor, "we", us" and "our" refer to TheEasyForms.com, Inc. and "Services" refers to all services provided by us.

TheEasyForms.com provides an online legal portal to give visitors a general understanding of the law and to provide an automated software solution to individuals who choose to prepare their own legal documents. TheEasyForms and its Services are not substitutes for the advice of an attorney.

TheEasyForms strives to keep its legal documents accurate, current and up-to-date. However, because the law changes rapidly, TheEasyForms cannot guarantee that all of the information on the Site is completely current. The law is different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and may be subject to interpretation by different courts. The law is a personal matter, and no general information like the kind TheEasyForms provides can fit every circumstance. Furthermore, the legal information contained on the Site is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. Therefore, if you need legal advice for your specific problem you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.

This Site is not intended to create any attorney-client relationship, and your use of TheEasyForms does not and will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and TheEasyForms. Instead, you are and will be representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake through TheEasyForms's legal document service.

All right, title and interest in and to the materials provided on this Site, including but not limited to information, documents, logos, graphics, sounds and images (the "Materials") are owned either by TheEasyForms or by our respective third party authors, developers or vendors ("Third Party Providers").

If you buy a form on our Site, the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use control. You understand that your purchase and use of a form document is neither legal advice nor the practice of law, and that each form and any applicable instructions or guidance is not customized to your particular needs.

License to Use.

TheEasyForms grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use our forms (the "Forms") for your own personal, internal business use, or if you are an attorney or professional, for your client. Except as otherwise provided, you acknowledge and agree that you have no right to modify, edit, copy, reproduce, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, alter, enhance or in any way exploit any of the Forms in any manner, except for modifications in filling out the Forms for your authorized use.

Resale of Forms Prohibited:

By ordering Forms, you agree that the Forms you purchase may only be used by you for your personal or business use or used by you in connection with your client and may not be sold or redistributed without the express written consent of TheEasyForms.com.

Reviews, Comments, Communications, And Other Content. At various locations on the Site, TheEasyForms may permit visitors to post reviews, comments, and other content (the "User Content"). Contributions to, access to and use of the User Content is subject to this paragraph and the other terms and conditions of these Terms of Use.

Rights and Responsibilities of TheEasyForms:

TheEasyForms is not the publisher or author of the User Content. It is a passive service for storage and dissemination of the ideas and opinions that TheEasyForms members may choose to post and distribute as User Content. TheEasyForms does not screen works before they are posted, and no prior approval is required for posting. TheEasyForms disclaims all copyright and ownership in such works and all responsibility for them.

Although we cannot make an absolute guarantee of system security, TheEasyForms takes reasonable steps to maintain security. If you have reason to believe system security has been breached, contact us by E-MAIL for help.

If TheEasyForms's technical staff finds that files or processes belonging to a member pose a threat to the proper technical operation of the system or to the security of other members, TheEasyForms reserves the right to delete those files or to stop those processes. If the TheEasyForms technical staff suspects a user name is being used by someone who is not authorized by the proper user, TheEasyForms may temporarily disable that user's access in order to preserve system security. In all such cases, TheEasyForms will contact the member as soon as feasible.

TheEasyForms has the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to (i) edit, redact or otherwise change any User Content, (ii) re-categorize any User Content to place it in a more appropriate location or (iii) pre-screen or delete any User Content that is determined to be inappropriate or otherwise in violation of these Terms of Use, including but not limited to User Content containing offensive language and advertisements.

TheEasyForms reserves the right to refuse service to anyone and to cancel user access at any time.

Rights and Responsibilities of TheEasyForms Users or Other Posters of User Content:

You are legally and ethically responsible for any User Content - writings, files, pictures or any other work - that you post or transmit using any TheEasyForms service that allows interaction or dissemination of information. In posting User Content, you are responsible for honoring the rights of others, including intellectual-property rights (copyright, patent and trademark), the right to privacy and the right not to be libeled or slandered. For example, if you wish to post a copyrighted work as User Content, you are responsible for obtaining the copyright holder's permission first.

Under United States federal law, you retain copyright on all works you create and post as User Content, unless you choose specifically to renounce it. In posting a work as User Content, you authorize other members who have access to that service to make personal and customary use of the work, including creating links or reposting, but not otherwise to reproduce or disseminate it unless you give permission for such dissemination. You also give permission to TheEasyForms to copy your works as part of the normal backup process. You have the right to remove any of your works from User Content at any time.

The use of your TheEasyForms user account or posting User Content for any illegal activity under the laws of the United States is a violation of these Terms of Use. Since the law as to jurisdiction of online systems is unsettled, we urge you to consider the possible effect of laws outside TheEasyForms's locality or your own residence. TheEasyForms is open to members worldwide (and works published on the World Wide Web, Usenet or other such services are accessible to anyone on the Internet), and TheEasyForms cannot guarantee that you won't run into legal trouble in other jurisdictions over your posting.

Your Rights and Responsibilities as a TheEasyForms User and Reader of User Content:

You are not required to provide your real name when signing up as a user of TheEasyForms. TheEasyForms permits anonymous or pseudonymous accounts. Any user may request that such member's e-mail address be hidden to provide for additional privacy.

If you have a complaint about the behavior or posts of another user, it is your responsibility to attempt to resolve the conflict, typically by contacting that person directly, if possible. Normally, TheEasyForms staff will not take a role in mediating conflicts between you and other users. TheEasyForms does not take responsibility for your behavior or that of other users. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such a complaint or conflict arises, the user or users may request that TheEasyForms moderator intervene and attempt to resolve any such dispute. Any such request is not a guarantee that a moderator will (i) intervene, (ii) intervene in a timely manner, (iii) resolve the dispute in favor of one party or the other or (iv) successfully resolve the situation. The decision to intervene rests with TheEasyForms, in our sole and absolute discretion.

Your access to the postings that users have posted as User Content is for your personal use only. If you want to redistribute postings you find as User Content, it is your responsibility to obtain permission from the poster (and any other person with rights in such work).

You agree to help protect your account and the security of other users by guarding your password. If you have reason to believe your password has been compromised or there has been any unauthorized use of your account, contact TheEasyForms via E-MAIL as soon as possible.
