10. REFUND POLICY

10.1 Overview 

Except where expressly required by applicable law, fees paid to FileRight for access to the Services are non-refundable once substantial performance has occurred. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, FileRight offers a limited refund right for certain Services as described below. 

10.2 Statutory Rescission Rights 

If you are a resident of a jurisdiction that provides a non-waivable statutory right of rescission for the purchase of form preparation software services, you may cancel the transaction and receive a refund to the extent required by applicable law. 

Without limiting the foregoing, residents of California, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, or Utah may have the right to rescind the portion of the transaction attributable solely to the use of FileRight’s form preparation software within seventy-two (72) hours or three (3) business days of entering into the agreement, whichever period is longer, as required by applicable law. 

This rescission right applies only to the extent required by law and only to the portion of the Services to which such law applies. It does not extend to third-party services, government fees, or other products unless required by law. 

10.3 Thirty (30) Day Limited Refund — Non-Legal Review Products 

For Services that do not include attorney review, legal representation, third-party professional services, translation services, or government submission assistance (“Non-Legal Review Products”), you may request a refund within thirty (30) calendar days of the original payment date, provided that: 

  • The application or materials have not been printed, downloaded, exported, or otherwise accessed in final form; 
  • The application has not been mailed, filed, or submitted to any government authority;

  • Initiating translation, mailing, filing, or submission services; 
  • Requesting that FileRight prepare materials for shipment or submission;

Once substantial performance has occurred, the Service fee becomes non-refundable. 

10.4 Government Fees and Third-Party Services 

Government filing fees, courier fees, translation fees, attorney fees, and any other third-party costs are non-refundable and are governed exclusively by the applicable third-party provider’s terms. 

FileRight does not control government adjudication decisions and does not provide outcome-based refunds.

  • Approval or denial of any application; 
  • Requests for Evidence (RFEs); 
  • Notices of Intent to Deny (NOIDs);

Store credit: 

  • Has no cash value; 
  • May not be redeemed for cash; 
  • Expires one (1) year from issuance; 
  • May not be resold, transferred for value, or publicly marketed.

All refund requests must be submitted through the official refund request portal: Submit a Refund Request Here 

Refund requests must be submitted through the official refund request portal. Requests submitted through social media platforms, messaging applications, email, payment processors,

or third-party marketplaces will not constitute valid notice under this policy and may delay resolution. 

10.9 Processing Timeline 

Approved refunds will be issued to the original method of payment within five (5) business days of approval. 

Financial institutions may require additional time to post the transaction, and FileRight is not responsible for delays caused by payment processors or banks.

19. BINDING ARBITRATION & CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY — THIS PROVISION AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. 

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services, these Terms, or your relationship with FileRight (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration, on an individual basis only, and not in court, except as expressly provided below. 

This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) and evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. 

19.1 Arbitration Forum, Seat, and Rules 

  • Seat (legal place) of arbitration: State of Nevada 
  • Administrator: American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS 
  • Rules: The administrator’s applicable consumer arbitration rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, except as modified by this section

19.2 Individual Claims Only 

Arbitration shall be conducted only on an individual basis. 

You and FileRight agree that: 

  • No Dispute may be brought as a class, collective, coordinated, consolidated, or representative action 
  • No Dispute may be brought on behalf of others, the public, or any group 
  • The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or award relief to anyone other than the individual claimant 

19.3 Class, Representative, and PAGA Waiver 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive any right to bring or participate in:  

  • Class actions
  • Collective actions 
  • Representative actions 
  • Private attorney general actions (including claims under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA)) 

If a court determines that any portion of this waiver is unenforceable with respect to a particular claim: 

  • That claim shall be severed and litigated only to the minimum extent required by law 
  • All remaining claims shall continue to be resolved exclusively through individual arbitration 

19.4 Small Claims Court Carve-Out 

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, provided the claim remains strictly individual and is not consolidated, coordinated, or joined with any other matter. This carve-out does not permit class, collective, or representative actions of any kind. 

19.5 Delegation of Arbitrability 

The arbitrator — and not any court — shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to:

  • The interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement
  • Whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration 

This delegation provision shall be severable from the remainder of this section. 19.6 Pre-Arbitration Informal Resolution 

Before initiating arbitration, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally. 

A party initiating a dispute must first send written notice describing the claim and requested relief. 

The parties will have 30 days to attempt resolution before arbitration may be filed. 19.7 Consumer Costs and Fees 

For claims totaling $10,000 or less, FileRight will pay all arbitration filing fees, case management fees, and arbitrator fees beyond the first $200 paid by the consumer. 

FileRight will not seek reimbursement of arbitration fees or costs from a consumer unless the arbitrator determines the claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. 

Each party shall otherwise bear its own attorneys’ fees unless applicable law provides otherwise. 

19.8 Remote Proceedings 

Arbitration shall be conducted remotely by telephone or video conference unless the consumer requests an in-person hearing. 

No party shall be required to travel outside their county of residence to participate in arbitration. 

19.9 Waiver of Jury Trial 

You and FileRight knowingly and irrevocably waive any right to a jury trial for any Dispute, whether in arbitration or in court. 

19.10 Severability 

If any portion of this arbitration and class action waiver section is found unenforceable:

  • That portion shall be severed only to the minimum extent necessary
  • The remainder shall remain in full force and effect 

19.11 Survival 

This arbitration and class action waiver provision survives termination of these Terms and your relationship with FileRight.
