Online Divorce Service provides an online portal to give visitors a general understanding of the law that pertains to divorce and other family law issues, to provide an automated software solution to individuals who choose to prepare their own legal documents. Online Divorce Service hosts its Online Divorce Service software as a backend service for customers when they create their own documents. The Site includes general information on commonly encountered divorce issues. At no time do we review your answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal advice, opinions or recommendations about your legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection or suitability of forms or strategies, or apply the law to the facts of your particular situation. Online Divorce Service is not a law firm and may not perform services performed by an attorney. Online Divorce Service, its Services, and its forms or templates are provided for educational and informational purposes and are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney. Communications with our Site are not privileged or confidential.

Online Divorce Service strives to keep its legal documents accurate, current and up-to-date. However, because the law changes rapidly, Online Divorce Service cannot guarantee that all of the information on the Site or Applications 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 or divorce tool like the kind Online Divorce Service provides can fit every circumstance. Furthermore, the divorce information contained on the Site and Applications 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, or if your specific problem is too complex to be addressed by our tools, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.

From time to time, Online Divorce Service may perform certain attorney access services and introduce our visitors to attorneys through various methods. At no time is an attorney-client relationship fostered or created with Online Divorce Service through the performance of any such services.

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

1. Product Purchase Terms

Time to Complete Paperwork. To ensure that your documents reflect current details, you must complete and submit all paperwork within eighteen (18) months of the date of your purchase. If you do not complete your paperwork within 18 months, you will lose access to the purchased product(s) and we reserve the right to terminate your account and any information contained within your draft paperwork without additional liability to you. You may purchase a new product or service at any time, and will be treated as a new customer with a new 18 month period of time to complete your forms.

2. Subscriptions

Certain Online Divorce Service products include subscriptions for continued access to our platform, customer service, and other features. On certain products, we may offer 3, 6 or 12 month subscriptions. If your purchase includes a subscription, it will be disclosed at the time of or before you checkout. If your purchase includes such a subscription, your purchase provides access to the platform and support services for thirty days. After thirty days, access automatically renews monthly and your card will automatically be charged the current rate, as indicated at your time of purchase (rate subject to change). You may terminate your subscription at any time prior to the end of your then-current subscription term. No refunds or credits for subscription charges or fees will be provided. You will retain access to the products/services purchased through the end of your subscription term. Cancel renewals anytime by visiting My Profile.
Document Storage. If you purchased an Online Divorce Service subscription, Online Divorce Service will electronically store your uploaded documents and data for easy data recovery during the term of your subscription. However, because forms may change over time, you may need to update your information in a new or updated form or template if you do not timely complete your paperwork within eighteen (18) months of your original purchase. Customers using Online Divorce Service Storage are encouraged to keep original copies of their documents in a secure location. By canceling your subscription, you give Online Divorce Service permission to delete your data from our storage without additional liability to you.
Fees. If you purchase a subscription, you will be charged in accordance with the billing terms in effect at the time of your initial purchase. If you purchase a subscription that is charged in full upon purchase, in each renewal period for that subscription, you must pay the total cost of the next subscription period by the first day of that period. For each subscription, you will be charged for each subscription period no matter whether you access the services or Site during any subscription term. In other words, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE THE SUBSCRIPTION, INCLUDING ACCESSING QUESTIONNAIRES, SUPPORT SERVICES, OR OTHER BENEFITS, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUBSCRIPTION FEES UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR IT IS OTHERWISE TERMINATED.
Billing. You must provide valid credit card information at the time of purchase to allow payment for the initial membership term of a subscription.
Renewals. For your automatically renewing subscriptions, your subscription will renew at the end of the initial membership term (the “Billing Date”) and at the end of each successive membership term, until you notify us that you want to terminate your subscription under these Terms or your subscription is otherwise terminated. If you do not notify us, your credit card will automatically be charged for the renewal term of your subscription on your Billing Date. If your purchase date is on the 29th through 31st day of any month, your Billing Date for renewals in months with fewer days will fall on the last day of the month. Online Divorce Service may adjust your Billing Date in subsequent renewal periods without notice. This will be reflected by a charge to your account on a prorated basis according to the number of days that have passed since the Billing Date of your latest renewal charge. Unless Online Divorce Service otherwise notifies you in advance under these Subscription Terms, the renewal charge will be equal to the original purchase price for the subscription. Online Divorce Service may obtain automatic updates for any expiring credit cards you have provided.

You must pay Online Divorce Service the fees associated with your subscription. Additional discounts may be available for members purchasing multiple months up front or as part of certain promotions.
Notice of Automatic Renewal. We may send a reminder email to your account’s email address of record before your Billing Date. Unless required by law in the state where you reside, Online Divorce Service is not obligated to provide this notice. You acknowledge that (i) your failure to read, (ii) your inability to receive, or (iii) Online Divorce Service’s failure to send the email creates no liability for Online Divorce Service.
Responsibility for Misuse. You may not: (i) license, sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, distribute, or otherwise make available to any party the benefits granted to you by or any content in your subscription; or (ii) change, reproduce, reverse engineer, make derivative works based on or referring to, or in any way exploit the licenses you have been granted with your subscription, or content or source code in your subscription.

You are responsible for all expenses incurred or other actions that may occur through your use of a subscription. You must alert us immediately of any fraudulent, unauthorized, illegal, or suspicious use of a subscription or subscription benefits, or any other breach of security or unauthorized or illegal activity that you reasonably suspect.
Changes to Subscriptions.
1. General Changes. Online Divorce Service may discontinue the offering of a subscription, including the functionality, content, or availability of any features of subscriptions or Third-Party Services, at any time in its sole discretion. We may also impose limits on features and services or restrict your access to all or part of the subscription. However, you have the right to cancel your membership should we materially decrease benefits. If we add new features to a subscription, the new features will be subject to these Subscription Terms and may change the subscription price. If you add a product or service to your subscription, Online Divorce Service has the discretion to charge you a prorated portion of the costs to align your renewal date with your current subscription. Online Divorce Service will provide you with notice before making these changes to your subscription.
2. Fee Adjustments. Online Divorce Service may increase subscription fees by notifying you of new fees at least 30 days before the beginning of a renewal term. The new fees will be effective on the first day of the renewal term. If you do not cancel your subscription, you will be deemed to have accepted the new fees for the renewal term and subsequent renewal terms (unless the fees are increased in the same manner for a subsequent renewal term). Reductions in fees become effective on the first day of the next renewal term without a pro rata adjustment for the period covered under the prior fee schedule.
3. Renewal Term Adjustments. Online Divorce Service offers subscriptions of various lengths. Online Divorce Service may increase the renewal term from monthly, quarterly, or otherwise, to quarterly, annually, or otherwise at our discretion by notifying you of the new renewal term at least 30 days before the beginning of a renewal term. If you do not cancel your subscription, you will be deemed to have accepted the new renewal term moving forward (unless the renewal term is changed in the same manner for a subsequent renewal term).
4. Discontinuation and Replacement of Subscriptions. Should Online Divorce Service cease to offer your subscription, we can discontinue your subscription, continue to provide it to you, or provision a replacement (similar or comparable product) at the then-current price. Additional fees may be charged for such replacement subscriptions. Online Divorce Service will notify you of new fees at least 30 days before they become effective.
5. By Subscriber.
  You may upgrade your subscription to other available options at any time by emailing us at support@theonlinedivorce.com, using our Contact Us webform, or you may cancel your subscription online at My Profile.
Termination or Cancellation
1. By Online Divorce Service.
  Online Divorce Service may terminate your use of all or part of the subscriptions in its sole discretion. As your sole remedy, we will refund to you any prepaid fees specifically related to the current term of that subscription.
  
  Your right to use a subscription is subject to any limits established by Online Divorce Service or by your credit card issuer. If payment cannot be charged to your credit card or your charge is returned for any reason, including through a chargeback, Online Divorce Service may, in its sole and absolute discretion, suspend or terminate your access and account, which will terminate these Subscription Terms and our obligations under them. If a charge made to your credit card is declined, Online Divorce Service may, but is not obligated to, contact you and may make multiple attempts to bill that card over a thirty-day period.
2. By Subscriber.
  You may cancel your subscription at any time by emailing support@theonlinedivorce.com or cancelling online at My Profile. After you have cancelled, your subscription will remain active until the end of then-current period. Please note that you may lose access to any documents or information stored in your account if you cancel your subscription.
3. Services After Termination. After your subscription is terminated or your membership term has ended, you will not be able to access the corresponding subscription offerings.

3. Additional Services

Filing Service. If you choose to purchase our filing services as an add-on purchase or through a divorce package purchase (sometimes called our Platinum Service or Premium Service), the following provisions apply to you:
1. You are responsible for paying court filing fees, which are specific fees charged by the venue of filing. These filing fees are separate from any fees you pay to Online Divorce Service, and are set by the court and not by Online Divorce Service. Depending on your location, the venue may require that you obtain money orders or we may invoice you for the fees and pay them on your behalf.
2. Except as otherwise noted, filing services may include all mandatory or otherwise applicable court fees, expedite fees, certified copy fees, walk-in fees, courier fees, e-filing fees, service fees, delivery fees, credit card fees, and other transactional fees we are charged or incur on your behalf. Where fees are estimated, the difference between the actual fees and the amount charged will be retained as a convenience fee.
3. You may make unlimited changes to your paperwork prior to the initial shipment to you, subject to the timing limitations set forth elsewhere in these Terms.
4. You must review and approve forms and confirm your and your spouse’s mailing addresses prior to transmission or shipment for signature.
5. Once fully signed, we will make your initial filing with the court and either serve the divorce papers on your spouse or arrange for your spouse’s signature, varying by state. Your spouse must be willing to sign the paperwork for us to complete the service. Because significant work will have been performed, your spouse declining to sign is not a valid basis for a refund.
6. Once your spouse signs and returns the paperwork, we will file the documents with the court.
7. Future court filings beyond those included in the service are your responsibility.
8. We will attempt to notify you if the documents you or your spouse are due to return are not received or are received but incomplete. If paperwork remains incomplete or has not been received six (6) months after purchase, we may declare your account inactive and provide you notice that the filing service cannot be completed and that your paperwork may be deleted. Subscribers will retain access but must obtain new signatures to proceed with the filing and will have a reprocessing fee. Please note that if we have declared your filing stale due to inactivity or failure to complete paperwork, you must request return of your money orders unless you provide and we accept contrary instructions. Online Divorce Service is not responsible for the cost of money orders lost in return shipping.
Mediation Services. If you are offered and/or choose to purchase mediation services, the following terms apply:
1. Mediators providing services through this Site are not attorneys and do not provide legal advice. While these Mediators are professionals with a wide variety of backgrounds, who are intended to serve as neutral third parties who can assist with navigating disputes with your spouse. Although some Mediators may have professional certifications in law, counseling and similar fields, communication with a Mediator does not establish an attorney-client, therapist-client or doctor-patient relationship. The Company makes no representations or warranties regarding the background, licensure, competency or abilities of the Mediators. The Company cannot guarantee your Mediation session(s) will successfully resolve disputes.
2. Live Mediation: A telephone or video conference Mediation session is a limited-time conversation between users and Mediators for the purpose of helping parties reach agreements.
3. YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ALL COMMUNICATIONS DURING THE MEDIATION SESSION WILL BE CONFIDENTIAL AND THAT YOU WILL NOT PROVIDE SCREENSHOTS, PHOTOS, COPIES, OR THE CONTENT OF ANY COMMUNICATIONS DURING A MEDIATION SESSION IN ANY SUBSEQUENT COURT PROCEEDING INVOLVING YOUR SPOUSE OR CO-PARENT. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, WITH RESPECT TO THIS SECTION, YOUR SPOUSE OR CO-PARENT IS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF THESE TERMS WITH FULL RIGHT AND AUTHORITY TO SEEK AN ORDER ENJOINING YOUR DISCLOSURE IN VIOLATION OF THIS SECTION. For clarity, the foregoing confidentiality commitment extends only to Mediation Sessions involving you, your spouse or co-parent, and a Mediator, and does not extend to any other communications on the Site.
4. If you are represented by an attorney, you are solely responsible for contacting, communicating and receiving any advice from your attorney before entering into an agreement or communication while engaged with a Mediator.
5. IF YOU ENGAGE WITH A MEDIATOR, YOU MUST INFORM THE MEDIATOR IF YOU HAVE A CURRENT CIVIL OR CRIMINAL PROTECTIVE ORDER IN PLACE EITHER PROTECTING YOU OR PROHIBITING YOU FROM CONTACT WITH YOUR SPOUSE OR CO-PARENT.
6. Company reserves the right to report to law enforcement and other appropriate state agencies if the Company has a reasonable suspicion that a child is suffering from emotional abuse, physical abuse or neglect, or if a Mediator has a reasonable suspicion that an identifiable person is a danger to himself or herself or to another. Safety is of the utmost importance and violence or threats will not be tolerated. The Company, however, has no legal obligation to monitor communications. If you receive threats from your spouse or any other user of the Platform, or if you suspect a child is being harmed, you should report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
7. To protect their privacy, Mediators may not use their real names.
8. The Parties and Mediator may agree to additional terms and conditions at or before the time of the Mediation.
Attorney Access Services. If you purchase attorney sessions, the following terms apply:
1. Attorney access (the “Attorney Access Program”) is provided through select Law Firms pursuant to the Limited Scope Representation Agreement.”) Sessions will be provided by a partnering firm (the “Law Firm”) and are limited in scope. Law Firms do not share legal fees with us but may pay a technology fee or platform fee for the Attorney Access Program.
2. Attorney access is only available to the purchasing spouse or individual. If the non-purchasing spouse, or another family member, wishes to engage in a consultation, such consultation may be available at the discretion of the Law Firm.
3. Please note that Online Divorce Service is not a law firm and does not provide legal services. Attorneys made accessible through the Attorney Access Program are third-party independent contractors who agree to provide these limited services directly to you, not through us, via a separate representation agreement between you and the Law Firm. This is not an attorney referral service and we will not select an attorney for you. We make no guarantees as to the substance, content or quality of the attorney's advice.
4. Nothing shall be construed to limit your right to retain, at your own expense, an unaffiliated attorney. We shall not be obligated to pay for any such services.
5. Exclusions; Conflicts. The following items and matters are specifically excluded from the Attorney Access Program:
  1. Any action that directly or indirectly involves Online Divorce Service or any of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, agents, or employees;
  2. Any action that directly or indirectly involves any Law Firm providing legal services under the Attorney Access Program; provided, however, that a Law Firm may, at its sole discretion and risk, represent you in a matter in which another affiliated Law Firm is representing another party as legal counsel;
  3. Any matter involving the laws of jurisdictions outside of the United States;
  4. Any matter that, in the Law Firm's opinion, is frivolous in nature or objective; or
  5. Any case matter or requested service that is determined by the Law Firm to lack sufficient merit to warrant pursuit, or that the Law Firm decides has been raised an inordinate or unreasonable number of times without a change in circumstances.
Case Managers and Other Representatives. Our Case Managers or other customer care representatives are provided to assist you with your purchase of our products and services. They are not attorneys, paralegals or otherwise affiliated with any law firm and cannot give legal advice specific to your application or documents.

9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.

Summary:

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly by emailing our Customer Care Center at support@theonlinedivorce.com. In the unlikely event that the Company Customer Care Center is unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if Company has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or in small claims court rather than in a court of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than a court does, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute under this agreement must be filed within one (1) year in an arbitration proceeding or small claims court, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary. The one-year period begins when the claim or notice of dispute first could be filed. If a claim or dispute is not filed within one year, it is permanently barred.

You may speak with independent counsel before using this Site or completing any purchase.

Arbitration Agreement:

(a) Company and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us in small claims court or before a single arbitrator. The types of disputes and claims we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted. It applies, without limitation, to:

claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory;
claims that arose before these or any prior Terms (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class;
and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

You and Company understand that you are NOT required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief from the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. Any such disputes that are not handled by arbitration shall be filed only in the state and federal courts located in Delaware or any United States District Court located in New Castle County, Delaware, and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to " Company," "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, spouses, children, dependents, or others named in divorce documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, or, where the amount at issue is within the venue’s small claims court’s jurisdiction, either party may demand small claims court in lieu of arbitration upon receipt of a Notice of Dispute. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms evidence a transaction or website use in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms.

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send, by U.S. certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") to the other party. A Notice to Company should be addressed to: Notice of Dispute, General Counsel, Online Divorce Service 2317 3rd Ave N, STE 101, Birmingham, AL 35203 (the "Notice Address"). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding or demand that the matter proceed in small claims court in lieu of arbitration, should the Demand be within the venue’s small claims jurisdiction.

(c) The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"), as modified by these Terms, for all claims under $75,000, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of the arbitration provision and the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of this arbitration provision. Unless Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place by remote appearance. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator or by a telephonic hearing. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules will determine whether you have a right to a hearing. The parties agree that in any arbitration of a dispute or claim, neither party will rely for preclusive effect on any award or finding of fact or conclusion of law made in any other arbitration of any dispute or claim to which Company was a party. Parties shall be responsible for the payment of all costs and fees of the arbitration as governed by the AAA Rules. The arbitrator may elect to apportion the fees and costs in a different manner during the arbitration, such as if the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.

(d) An arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR IN THE CAPACITY OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Further, unless both you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other customers. Neither you nor we may seek non-individualized relief that would affect other customers. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision in the applicable Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to any notice address, website link or telephone number provided herein), that change will not apply to any dispute of which we had written notice on the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this arbitration provision, any such termination will not be effective until at least thirty (30) days after written notice of such termination is provided to you, and shall not be effective as to disputes which arose prior to the date of termination.

Updated 10/29/2025

Please read these terms of service carefully before using this site.

1. I understand and agree that Online Divorce Service, LLC (“Company” or “Site”) is not a law firm or an attorney, may not perform services performed by an attorney, and its forms or templates are not the substitute for the advice or services of an attorney. Rather, I am representing myself in this legal matter. No attorney-client relationship or privilege is created with Company.

2. If, prior to my purchase, I believe that Company gave me any legal advice, opinion or recommendation about my legal rights, remedies, defenses, options, selection of forms or strategies, I will not proceed with this purchase, and any purchase that I do make will be null and void.

3. I understand that 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 me in the event of a dispute as described in the Company Arbitration Agreement, contained in Paragraph 15 of these Terms of Service.

4. Subscriptions

Certain RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com products include subscriptions for continued access to our platform, customer service, and other features. If your purchase includes a subscription, it will be disclosed at the time of or before you checkout. If your purchase includes such a subscription, your purchase provides access to the platform and support services for the period of time specified. After that period of time, access automatically renews for an indicated period of time and your card will automatically be charged the current rate, as indicated at your time of purchase (rate subject to change). Cancel renewals anytime by visiting My Profile.
Storage Subscription. If you have purchased the RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com Storage subscription, RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com will electronically store your documents and data for easy data recovery. Customers using RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com Storage are encouraged to keep original copies of their documents in a secure location. Notice that by canceling Storage subscription you give RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com permission to delete all your data from our storage.
Fees. If you purchase a subscription, you will be charged in accordance with the billing terms in effect at the time of your initial purchase. If you purchase a subscription that is charged in full on purchase, in each renewal period for that subscription, you must pay the total cost of the next subscription period by the first day of that period. For each subscription, your charge remains for each subscription period no matter if you access the services or Site during any subscription term. In other words, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE THE SUBSCRIPTION, INCLUDING ACCESSING QUESTIONNAIRES, SUPPORT SERVICES, OR OTHER BENEFITS, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUBSCRIPTION FEES UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR IT IS OTHERWISE TERMINATED.
Billing. You must provide valid credit card information at the time of purchase to allow payment for the initial membership term of a subscription.
Renewals. For your automatically renewing subscriptions, your subscription will renew at the end of the initial membership term (the “Billing Date”) and at the end of each successive membership term, until you notify us that you want to terminate your subscription under these Terms or your subscription is otherwise terminated. If you do not notify us, your credit card will automatically be charged for the renewal term of your subscription on your Billing Date. If your purchase date is on the 29th through 31st day of any month, your Billing Date for renewals in months with fewer days will fall on the last day of the month. RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com may adjust your Billing Date in subsequent renewal periods without notice. This will be reflected by a charge to your account on a prorated basis according to the number of days that have passed since the Billing Date of your latest renewal charge. Unless RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com otherwise notifies you in advance under these Subscription Terms, the renewal charge will be equal to the original purchase price for the subscription. RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com may obtain automatic updates for any expiring credit cards you have provided.

You must pay RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com the fees associated with your subscription. Additional discounts may be available for members purchasing multiple months up front or as part of certain promotions.
Notice of Automatic Renewal. We may send a reminder email to your account’s email address of record before your Billing Date. Unless required by law in the state where you reside, RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com is not obligated to provide this notice.

For a trial or other promotional membership with no initial charge, you agree we may authorize a charge of up to one dollar ($1) to your method of payment to verify your payment source. AT THE COMPLETION OF A TRIAL MEMBERSHIP, UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO CANCEL BY CALLING 1.833.490.3177 OR THROUGH MY PROFILE, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL RENEW AUTOMATICALLY AND YOUR CREDIT CARD WILL BE CHARGED TO BEGIN YOUR INITIAL MEMBERSHIP TERM.
Responsibility for Misuse. You may not: (i) license, sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, distribute, or otherwise make available to any party the benefits granted to you by or any content in your subscription; or (ii) change, reproduce, reverse engineer, make derivative works based on or referring to, or in any way exploit the licenses you have been granted with your subscription, or content or source code in your subscription

You are responsible for all expenses incurred or other actions that may occur through your use of a subscription.

We may also impose limits on features and services or restrict your access to all or part of the subscription. However, you have the right to cancel your membership should we materially decrease benefits. If we add new features to a subscription, the new features will be subject to these Subscription Terms.

Reductions in fees become effective on the first day of the next renewal term without a pro rata adjustment for the period covered under the prior fee schedule.
3. Renewal Term Adjustments. RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com offers subscriptions of various lengths.

EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, I WILL HOLD COMPANY AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS HARMLESS FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE, HOWEVER IT ARISES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES AND ALL RELATED COSTS AND EXPENSES OF LITIGATION AND ARBITRATION, OR AT TRIAL OR ON APPEAL, IF ANY, WHETHER OR NOT LITIGATION OR ARBITRATION IS INSTITUTED), WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY CLAIM FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY VIOLATION BY ME OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL LAWS, STATUTES, RULES, OR REGULATIONS, EVEN IF COMPANY HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, IF THERE IS LIABILITY FOUND ON THE PART OF COMPANY, IT WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THERE BE CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE PRIOR LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO ME. THIS PARAGRAPH DOES NOT APPLY TO NORTH CAROLINA CUSTOMERS.

6. Terms of Use.

I understand that the Site's general terms of use (the "Terms of Use") also apply to these Terms of Service and in agreeing to these Terms of Service, I acknowledge that I have read and agree to those Terms of Use, which are incorporated herein by reference.

7. Filing Service.

If you choose to purchase our filing services with a divorce package (sometimes called our Platinum Service or Premium Service), the following provisions apply to you:

You are responsible for paying court filing fees. Depending on your location, that may require that you obtain money orders or we may invoice you for the fees and pay them on your behalf.
Except as otherwise noted, filing services may include all mandatory or otherwise applicable court fees, expedite fees, certified copy fees, walk-in fees, courier fees, e-filing fees, service fees, delivery fees, credit card fees, and other transactional fees we are charged or incur on your behalf. Where fees are estimated, the difference between the actual fees and the amount charged will be retained as a convenience fee.
You may make unlimited changes to your paperwork prior to the initial shipment to you.
You must review and approve forms for use and confirm your and your spouse’s mailing addresses prior to transmission or shipment for signature.
Once fully signed, we will make your initial filing with the court and either serve the divorce papers on your spouse or arrange for your spouse’s signature, varying by state. Your spouse must be willing to sign the paperwork for us to complete this service. Because significant work will have been performed, your spouse declining to sign the paperwork is not grounds for a refund.
Once your spouse has signed and returned all required paperwork, we will file the spousal documents with the court.
While we provide instructions, future court filings are your responsibility.
We will attempt to notify you if the documents you or your spouse are due to return are not received or are received but incomplete. We will retain incomplete documents or documents that cannot continue in the process for a minimum of 180 days, but may destroy them after that time as we consider the signatures stale. We will retain only electronic copies. This will necessitate repeating the signature process if you desire to move forward. Once we destroy documents we consider stale, we will return associated money orders to you absent you providing and our accepting contrary instructions. RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com is not responsible for the cost of money orders lost in return shipping. As a courtesy, we may extend the time we retain stale paperwork for our subscribers, but cannot file them absent fresh signatures.

8. MEDIATION TERMS.

If you are offered and/or choose to purchase mediation services, the following provisions apply to you:

Mediators providing services through this site are not attorneys and do not provide legal advice.
Our Mediators are professionals with a wide variety of backgrounds, who are intended to serve as neutral third parties who can assist with navigating disputes with your spouse. Although some Mediators may have professional certifications in law, counseling and similar fields, communication with a Mediator does not establish an attorney-client, therapist-client or doctor-patient relationship. The Company makes no representations or warranties regarding the background, licensure, competency or abilities of the Mediators. The Company cannot guarantee your Mediation session(s) will successfully resolve disputes.
Chat-Based Mediation: A chat-based Mediation session is a fast-paced text exchange between users and Mediators for the purpose of helping parties reach agreements. If you enable a chat-based Mediation Session, you and your spouse will be connected with a Mediator in a live chat. You understand that if you and your spouse are unresponsive for over 8 hours during a Mediation Session, the Mediator may close the session due to inactivity.
Live Mediation: A telephone or video conference Mediation session is a limited-time conversation between users and Mediators for the purpose of helping parties reach agreements.
YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ALL COMMUNICATIONS DURING THE MEDIATION SESSION WILL BE CONFIDENTIAL AND THAT YOU WILL NOT PROVIDE SCREENSHOTS, PHOTOS, COPIES, OR THE CONTENT OF ANY COMMUNICATIONS DURING A MEDIATION SESSION IN ANY COURT PROCEEDING INVOLVING YOUR SPOUSE OR CO-PARENT. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, WITH RESPECT TO THIS SECTION, YOUR SPOUSE OR CO-PARENT IS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF THESE TERMS WITH FULL RIGHT AND AUTHORITY TO SEEK AN ORDER ENJOINING YOUR DISCLOSURE IN VIOLATION OF THIS SECTION. The Company may, but is under no obligation to, bring an action to enforce your compliance with this Section. For clarity, the foregoing confidentiality commitment extends only to Mediation Sessions involving you, your spouse or co-parent, and a Mediator, and does not extend to any other communications on the Site.
If you are represented by an attorney, you are solely responsible for contacting, communicating and receiving any advice from your attorney before entering into an agreement or communication while engaged with a Mediator.
IF YOU ENGAGE WITH A MEDIATOR, YOU MUST INFORM THE MEDIATOR IF YOU HAVE A CURRENT CIVIL OR CRIMINAL PROTECTIVE ORDER IN PLACE EITHER PROTECTING YOU OR PROHIBITING YOU FROM CONTACT WITH YOUR SPOUSE OR CO-PARENT.
The Company reserves the right to report to law enforcement and other appropriate state agencies if the Company has a reasonable suspicion that a child is suffering from emotional abuse, physical abuse or neglect, or if a Mediator has a reasonable suspicion that an identifiable person is a danger to himself or herself or to another. Safety is of the utmost importance and violence or threats will not be tolerated. The Company, however, has no legal obligation to monitor communications. If you receive threats from your spouse or any other user of the Platform, or if you suspect a child is being harmed, you should report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
To protect their privacy, mediators may not use their real names.
You expressly agree to pay any and all attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the Company or any of its officers, employees, agents or representatives, if you seek to compel any of them to testify, respond to discovery, authenticate communications or produce documentation.

9. Attorney Access Terms.

Attorney access (the “Attorney Access Program”) is provided through Singular Law PLLC (“Singular”). Your relationship with Singular is governed by their Limited Scope Representation Agreement.”) Sessions will be provided by Singular and/or a partnering firm (the “Firm”).
Attorney access is available to the purchasing spouse or individual. If the non-purchasing spouse, or another family member, wishes to engage in a consultation, such consultation may be available at the discretion of the Firm.
Please note that RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com does not provide legal services. Attorneys made available through the Legal Plan are third-party independent contractors who agree to provide legal services directly to you, not through us, via a separate retention agreement between you and the Firm. Their contact information is provided as advertising. The attorneys have agreed to provide telephone consultations related to subject matters about which they represent that they are qualified in jurisdictions where they are admitted to practice. A conflict check will apply. We will not select an attorney for you. We make no guarantees as to the substance of the attorney's advice.
Nothing shall be construed to limit your right to retain, at your own expense, an unaffiliated attorney. We shall not be obligated to pay for any such services.
Exclusions; Conflicts. The following items and matters are specifically excluded from the Attorney Access Program, and are not to be considered or treated as Plan Benefits in the case as of the Legal Plan (defined below):
1. Any action that directly or indirectly involves RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.com or any of its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, agents, or employees;
2. Any action that directly or indirectly involves any Firm providing legal services under the Attorney Access Program; provided, however,that a Firm may, at its sole discretion and risk, represent you in a matter in which another affiliated Firm is representing another party as legal counsel;
3. Any matter involving the laws of jurisdictions outside of the United States;
4. Any matter that, in the Firm's opinion, is frivolous in nature or objective; or
5. Any case matter or requested service that is determined by the Firm to lack sufficient merit to warrant pursuit, or that the Firm decides has been raised an inordinate or unreasonable number of times without a change in circumstances.

It is a flat fee offering provided by Singular and marketing through us. We are not an insurance company and does not guarantee legal representation in every situation. The Legal Plan provides customers with access to free and discounted legal services from the Firm.
3. Use.
  1. General Practices. You acknowledge that we may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Legal Plan, including without limitation the maximum number of complimentary attorney consultations you may receive in a given period of time related to one or all subjects.
  2. Right to Change Practices. You acknowledge that we reserve the right to change these general practices and limits at any time, in our sole discretion, with or without notice. However, you have the right to cancel your membership should we materially decrease benefits.
  3. Responsibility for Misuse. You are responsible for all expenses incurred or other actions that may occur through your use of a Legal Plan. You must immediately alert us of any fraudulent, unauthorized, illegal, or suspicious use of a Legal Plan, or any other breach of security or unauthorized or illegal activity that you reasonably suspect.
4. Payment
  1. Legal Plan Membership Fees. You will be charged in accordance with the billing terms in effect at the time of your initial purchase, unless you are notified of a fee change in accordance with "Fee Adjustments" below. For any Legal Plan you purchase that is charged in full upon purchase, you agree that for each renewal term for such Legal Plan, the amount due for the next term will be due and immediately payable in full as of the first day of that renewed term. For each Legal Plan, your charge remains for each term no matter if you access the Legal Plan during that term. In other words, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE THE LEGAL PLAN BENEFITS OR SPEAK WITH AN ATTORNEY, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PLAN MEMBERSHIP FEES UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP OR IT IS OTHERWISE TERMINATED. For more information regarding canceling your Legal Plan subscription, see the "Termination or Cancellation" section below.
  2. Billing.
    1. To allow payment for the initial term of a Legal Plan, valid credit card information is due at the time of purchase.
    2. If you have purchased an automatic renewing plan, your Legal Plan subscription will renew automatically at the end of the initial term (the "Billing Date") and at the end of each term thereafter unless and until you give notice of your intention to terminate your Legal Plan subscription pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If you do not give us notice of such intention, your credit card will be charged for the renewal term of your Legal Plan subscription on your Billing Date. If your purchase date is on the 29th through 31st day of any month, your Billing Date for renewals in months with fewer days will fall on the last day of the month. We may adjust your Billing Date in subsequent renewal periods without notice. This will be reflected by a charge to your account on a pro-rated basis according to the number of days that have passed since the Billing Date of your latest renewal charge. Unless otherwise notified in advance pursuant to this Agreement, the renewal charge will be equal to the original purchase price for the Legal Plan.
    3. You agree to pay the fees associated with your Legal Plan subscription. Additional discounts may be available for members purchasing multiple months up front, as part of certain promotions which may include additional terms and conditions presented with the offer, or where limited by law.
  3. Notice of Automatic Renewal. We may send a reminder email to your account’s email address of record before your Billing Date. Unless required by law in the state where you reside, we are not obligated to provide this notice. You acknowledge that (i) your failure to read, (ii) your inability to receive, or (iii) our failure to send the email creates no liability for us.
  4. Promotional Trial Memberships. We sometimes offer certain customers various trial or other promotional memberships, which are subject to this Agreement except as otherwise stated in the promotional offers. AT THE COMPLETION OF A TRIAL MEMBERSHIP, UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO CANCEL VIA THE MY ACCOUNT PORTAL OR BY CALLING 833-490-3177, YOUR LEGAL PLAN MEMBERSHIP WILL RENEW AUTOMATICALLY AND YOUR CREDIT CARD WILL BE CHARGED TO BEGIN YOUR INITIAL TERM.
  5. Attorney Fees. Fees for non-complimentary attorney services provided pursuant to a Legal Plan membership shall be paid directly to the providing Firm. Participating Firms and attorneys are not our employees or agents.
5. Fee Adjustments. We may increase our fees for a Legal Plan membership effective the first day of a renewal term by giving you notice of the new fees at least thirty (30) days before the beginning of the renewal term. If you do not cancel your membership pursuant to these terms, you shall be deemed to have accepted the new fee for that renewal term and any subsequent renewal terms (unless the fees are increased in the same manner for a subsequent renewal term). Reductions in fees become effective on the next renewal term without any pro rata for the period covered under the prior fee schedule.
6. Termination or Cancellation.
  1. By Us.
    1. If payment is not made on the Billing Date, you have not made any payment on your Legal Plan membership, your non-payment may result in suspension of service and subsequent termination of your Legal Plan membership.
    2. Your right to use a Legal Plan membership is subject to any limits established by us or by your credit card issuer. If payment cannot be charged to your credit card or your charge is returned for any reason, including through a chargeback, we reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to suspend or terminate your access and account, thereby terminating this Agreement and all of our obligations hereunder. If a charge made to your credit card is declined, we may make multiple attempts to bill that card over a thirty-day period.
    3. If you wish to reactivate your account after such termination, there will be no setup or reactivation fees; provided, however, accounts terminated for non-payment will be reactivated only on receipt of the full amount past due and a written request to reinstate the account. When an expired account is reactivated, the new term begins on the date of reactivation.
  2. By You. You will have the right to cancel your Legal Plan membership by calling our Customer Care Center at 833-490-3177 or by cancelling online through the My Account portal. After such cancellation, your Legal Plan will remain active until the end of then-applicable period.
  3. Services after Termination. After termination of your Legal Plan membership, either by you or by us, you will not be able to access the corresponding Legal Plan offerings.
Dispute Resolution. The parties agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims pursuant to these Terms of Service. You have the additional right to file a complaint with an attorneys’ state bar association concerning the conduct of a Firm attorney.
Professional, Independent Attorney Judgment. Attorneys performing legal services under the terms of this Agreement are not our agents or employees. Any attorney rendering legal services as part of the Attorney Access Program shall maintain the attorney-client relationship with the customer, and is solely responsible to the customer for all legal services provided. It is within the sole discretion of the attorney to determine whether claims or defenses pertaining to any matter under this Agreement present a frivolous or otherwise unmeritorious claim or defense. Participating attorneys reserve the right to make independent professional judgments regarding such presentations. We will in no way influence or attempt to affect the rendering of professional services of the participating attorneys.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS.

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.

Summary:

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by calling our Customer Care Center at 833-490-3177. In the unlikely event that the Company Customer Care Center is unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if Company has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or in small claims court rather than in a court of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than a court does, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. While in some instances, upfront costs to file an arbitration claim may exceed similar costs to bring a case in court, for any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $75,000, Company will pay all costs of the arbitration. Moreover, in arbitration you may recover attorney's fees from Company to the same extent or more as you would in court. The arbitrator shall apply the same limitations period that would apply in court.

Under certain circumstances (as explained below), Company will pay you more than the amount of the arbitrator's award and will pay your attorney (if any) his or her reasonable attorney's fees if the arbitrator awards you an amount greater than what Company offered you to settle the dispute.

You may speak with independent counsel before using this Site or completing any purchase.

Arbitration Agreement:

claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory;
claims that arose before these or any prior Terms (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class;
and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, or, where the amount at issue is within the venue’s small claims court’s jurisdiction, either party may demand small claims court in lieu of arbitration upon receipt of a Notice of Dispute. This arbitration agreement does not preclude your bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms evidence a transaction or website use in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms.

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send, by U.S. certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") to the other party. A Notice to Company should be addressed to: Notice of Dispute, General Counsel, 2317 3rd Ave N Ste 200 Birmingham, AL 35203 (the "Notice Address"). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding or demand that the matter proceed in small claims court in lieu of arbitration, should the Demand be within the venue’s small claims jurisdiction. During an arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Company is entitled.

(c) Should neither party demand small claims court, after Company receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $75,000. (Currently, the filing fee for consumer-initiated arbitrations is $200, but this is subject to change by the arbitration provider. If you are unable to pay this fee, Company will pay it directly after receiving a written request at the Notice Address.) The Company will not reimburse you for arbitration fees should you commence arbitration after it submits a demand for small claims court in lieu of arbitration. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"), as modified by these Terms, for all claims under $75,000, and the applicable rules as determined by the AAA for all claims of or above $75,000, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of the arbitration provision and the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of paragraph (f) are for the court to decide. Unless Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your contact address. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If you choose to proceed either in person or by telephone, we may choose to respond only by telephone or submission. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules will determine whether you have a right to a hearing. The parties agree that in any arbitration of a dispute or claim, neither party will rely for preclusive effect on any award or finding of fact or conclusion of law made in any other arbitration of any dispute or claim to which Company was a party. Except as otherwise provided for herein, Company will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Company for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek relief valued at more than $75,000 (excluding attorney's fees and expenses), the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules.

(d) For claims under $75,000 that proceed in arbitration, if, after finding in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim, the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Company's last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then Company will:

pay you either the amount of the award or $2,000 ("the alternative payment"), whichever is greater;
and pay your attorney, if any, the amount of attorney's fees, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs), that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration (the "attorney's payment").

If Company did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, you and your attorney will be entitled to receive the alternative payment and the attorney's fees, respectively, if the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney's fees at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits. In assessing whether an award that includes attorney's fees or expenses is greater than the value of Company's last written settlement offer, the arbitrator shall include in his or her calculations only the value of any attorney’s fees or expenses you reasonably incurred in connection with the arbitration proceeding before Company’s settlement offer.

(e) The right to attorney's fees and expenses discussed in paragraph (d) supplements any right to attorney's fees and expenses you may have under applicable law. Thus, if you would be entitled to a larger amount under applicable law, this provision does not preclude an arbitrator from awarding you that amount. However, you may not recover duplicative awards of attorney's fees or costs. Although under some laws Company may have a right to an award of attorney's fees and expenses if it prevails in an arbitration proceeding, Company will not seek such an award for claims under $75,000.

(f) An arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR IN THE CAPACITY OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Further, unless both you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other customers. Neither you nor we may seek non-individualized relief that would affect other customers. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

(g) If the amount in dispute exceeds $75,000 or either party seeks any form of injunctive relief, either party may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by AAA by a written notice of appeal within thirty (30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award. An award of injunctive relief shall be stayed during any such appeal. The members of the three-arbitrator panel will be selected according to AAA rules. The three-arbitrator panel will issue its decision within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of the appealing party's notice of appeal. The decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding, subject to any right of judicial review that exists under the FAA.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision in the applicable Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to any notice address, website link or telephone number provided herein), that change will not apply to any dispute of which we had written notice on the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this arbitration provision, any such termination will not be effective until at least thirty (30) days after written notice of such termination is provided to you, and shall not be effective as to disputes which arose prior to the date of termination.

17. Installment Plans.

(a) Affirm. When making a purchase, you may be offered the option to purchase through Affirm, Inc. (“Affirm”), a third party. Purchases made through Affirm are subject to the Affirm Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

(b) Company Installment Offering. In the alternative, certain customers are offered a Company-sponsored installment payment plan. The Company Installment Plan (the "Installment Plan") is available as a purchase option for certain products. Upon receipt of my initial payment, I will have access to the post-purchase questionnaires and other support services, but will not be able to complete my order or receive my final documents until I complete my Installment Plan payments.

(c) Billing. By opting into the Installment Plan, I agree to make an initial payment (the "Initial Installment Payment") immediately when I place my order or as otherwise agreed. I hereby authorize Company to charge my credit card for additional installments (each an "Installment Billing Date") on the dates arranged with my authorization. If we select a monthly Installment Plan and my purchase date is on the 29th through 31st day of any month, an Installment Billing Date for months with fewer days will fall on the last day of the month. Each payment will be of the same amount unless otherwise agreed, except that if the total purchase price does not divide evenly into the agreed number of parts, my final installment payment will include all outstanding amounts. I understand that I may pay my outstanding balance at any time without incurring additional charges.

(d) Default. If my credit card is declined, I agree that Company may make multiple attempts to bill that card. If I remain in default on a payment when a subsequent payment is due, I authorize Company to charge any due payment amounts to my credit card. I understand that Company may restrict my ability to use its service, including continuing work on questionnaires, or purchase other Company products if I am delinquent on any payment. I understand that Company may accept late or partial payments, as well as payments that reflect "paid in full" or other restrictive endorsements, without limiting any of its rights under these Terms of Service. I acknowledge that Company is out of pocket time and money for servicing partially paid orders, and fully intend to complete my Installment Plan payments and the order. Abandoned Installment Plans will result in liquidated damages equal to the amount paid to Company for reimbursement of its commitment to service the order.

(e) Notice of Automatic Billing. Company may send a reminder email to the email address of record for my account before my Installment Billing Dates. I acknowledge and agree that this notice is provided as a courtesy only, and Company is not obligated or required to provide such notice. I acknowledge and agree that (i) my failure to read, (ii) my inability to receive, or (iii) the failure of Company to send the email does not create any liability on the part of Company or any third-party service provider.

(f) Disputed Charges. I understand that if I dispute a charge to my credit card, I should call the Company Customer Care Center immediately at 833-490-3177 and Company will investigate the matter.

(g) Account Information. I agree to notify Company immediately of any changes to my credit card number, its expiration date, and/or my billing address, or if my credit card expires or is canceled for any reason.

18. Delivery.

For products delivered via physical shipment, I understand that Company uses a variety of carriers for each shipping option and will choose a delivery method for the shipping option and address I designate. If I select overnight delivery or two-day delivery, I agree that Company may use air or ground shipping as necessary to get my items to me within the promised time frame. The shipping fee indicated does not necessarily represent the actual amount paid by Company to the carrier chosen for the delivery of my order. It may include, in addition to the fees paid to the carrier, Company or third party handling and processing fees. For products delivered electronically, I understand that I will be notified via email when my product is complete and available for download. I understand that I may access my product by logging in to My Account.

19. Reviews.

After your purchase, you may receive an email survey request from Company. You may also write a review on the Site. If you complete the survey or submit a review, your opinions may be posted, in whole or in part, on the Site or used in marketing material. The review may be accompanied by limited identifying information, such as your first name and last initial, the product you purchased, your gender, city and/or state, and age range.

20. Access to World Wide Web; Internet Delays.

To use Company services, I must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. I am responsible for providing all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and Internet access. Access to certain Company services may be limited or delayed based on problems inherent in the use of Internet and electronic communications. I understand that Company is not responsible for delays, delivery failures, or other damage resulting from such problems.

Information collection

“Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with you or your household.

“Sensitive Personal Information” (“SPI”) is a subset of Personal Information that includes certain government identifiers (such as social security numbers); an account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number with any required security code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; precise geolocation; contents of mail, email and text messages; genetic data; biometric information processed to identity a consumer; information concerning a consumer’s health, sex life, or sexual orientation; or information about racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership.

We may disclose information that We collect about you or that you provide Us directly as described in this privacy policy:

to Our subsidiaries and affiliates;
to service providers, including but not limited to data hosting, data analysis, data security, identity verification, payment processing, insurers, fraud and scam detection, customer support services, and other service providers with whom We have written contracts;

We may also disclose your personal information:

to enforce or apply Our Terms of Use, Terms of Service, and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes; and

We may disclose aggregated information about Our users and deidentified data or information that does not identify an individual. We may use this non-Personal Information for any purpose, including without limitation, for research and marketing purposes, and may also share such aggregated, deidentified or anonymized data with third parties, including advertisers, promotional partners, and others.

Interest-based ADS

We may also share your Personal Information with advertisers and other third parties who may use it for advertising purposes, including to serve targeted advertising on unaffiliated third-party sites. These companies may utilize cookies, pixels, web beacons or other technologies to collect user information (e.g., hashed, de-identified data, click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. Some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information about your online activities on the Website or other websites over time. For example, information collected across multiple sites may enable the ad network to predict your preferences and show you ads that are likely to be of interest to you. To opt out of these types of ads, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative for information about how to opt out of interest-based advertising by their members.

See https://thenai.org/ for general information about the NAI and https://thenai.org/opt-out/ for the opt-out page. You may also visit https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN to learn about interest-based advertising and how to opt-out from online behavioral ads served by some or all participating companies. We do not control these opt-out links or whether any organization chooses to participate in these opt-out programs. Please note that you may need to opt out on each device and browser you use to access our Site.

Customer care interactions

We may also share your information with our customer care team and service providers who help provide the support, tools and technology to assist you and service your account. These tools and technologies may process and record your calls and correspondence and analyze your interactions with Us and the Site. Advanced technologies, such as AI, may also be used to help streamline and automate the support that We provide you. We use the information that We collect to provide you with support, address complaints, improve Our products, services and the technologies that We use, and for other purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Other automated decision-making

Automated decision making refers to a decision that is taken solely on the basis of automated processing of your Personal Information. We may use automated decision-making software for security reasons, such as to detect fraudulent or illegal actions, or to protect consumer safety. When we do so, you cannot opt out of the use of decision-making technology. We may also use automated decision-making technologies with your express consent or as disclosed elsewhere in this Privacy Policy or before the use of the technology. We never use automated decision-making technologies to produce an adverse legal effect on you or to profile you.

Retention of personal information

We will retain your Personal Information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. We also will retain and use your Personal Information to the extent necessary to comply with Our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies. All information you provide to Us is stored on our secure servers or those of Our third-party data storage providers.

We utilize the following criteria to determine the length of time for which we retain Personal Information:

How long We have had a relationship with you or provided Our Services to you;
The business purposes for which the information is used, and the length of time for which the information is required to achieve those purposes;
Whether We are required to retain the information, or the information is otherwise necessary, in order to: comply with legal obligations or contractual commitments: defend against potential legal claims: detect or prevent potential illegal activity or actions in violation of Our policies and procedures; secure our systems and online environment; or protect health and safety;
The privacy impact on individuals of ongoing retention; and;
The manner in which information is maintained and flows through our systems, and how best to manage the lifecycle of information in light of the volume and complexity of the systems in our infrastructure.

Please note that if your account becomes inactive, We reserve the right to delete your information after notice to you at the last known contact information that We have for you.

Security

We have implemented reasonable measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. No data transmission over the Internet, mobile networks, wireless transmission, or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed 100% secure. Where We have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of Our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. You provide Us with your information at your own risk.

Links

This Site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage Our users to be aware when they leave Our Site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

Children under age of 16

Our Site is not intended for children under 16 years of age. No one under age 16 may provide any information to or on the Site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you are under 16, do not use or provide any information to or on this Site or through any of its features. If We learn We have collected or received personal information from a child under 16 without verification of parental consent, We will delete that information. If you believe We might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact Us in one of the ways provided in the Contact Information section below to request the deletion of that information.

Visitors of the site outside United States and Canada

This Site is not intended for visitors outside of the United States and Canada. We do not direct Our activities at users outside of the United States and Canada. If you are visiting the Site from a location outside the U.S. or Canada, your connection will be through and to servers located in the U.S. All information you receive from the Site will be created on servers located in the U.S., and all information you provide will be maintained on webservers and systems located within the U.S. The data protection laws of the U.S. or Canada may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States, according to the laws of the United States. By using the Site or providing Us with any information, you consent to the transfer to, and processing, use, sharing and storage of, your information in the U.S.

Do not track

We will respect Web browser “do not track” signals. Other parties may collect personally identifiable information about your activities over time and across different Web sites when a consumer uses Our Site or service.

Global privacy controls

Certain web browsers or extensions may offer you the ability to turn on a global privacy control (“GPC”) signal that will allow you to opt out of the sale of your data if it is activated. Other web browsers may not offer the GPC signal. In jurisdictions with applicable laws, such as California and Colorado, We recognize and honor global privacy control signals on browsers that support it, but your choice to opt out may not be recognized if you subsequently use another browser or device that does not support GPC signals. Please note that We currently do not associate your browser or device IP address with your email address or other account information, so if you choose to opt out from the sale of your IP address by using a GPC signal, it may not affect your advertising or marketing choices for your email address or account information, which is separately maintained. You may select your communication preferences within your account and adjust your cookie settings through Our Do Not Sell My Personal Information pop up.

Controlling your cookies

To sign up for information or services with Us, you must have cookies enabled on your internet browser. If you choose not to enable cookies, you will still be able to browse Our Site, but it will restrict some of the functionality of Our Site and what you can do.

We may use Tracking Technologies, including cookies, to provide you with a personalized experience. Cookies can be used to do several things, for example, enabling certain functions of the Site, enhancing security, improving functionality, remembering your preferences, or counting the number of people looking at Our Site (analytics). We also may use them to keep track of what you’ve done on the Site, and how to get you back to where you were during your last visit.

First party cookies originate from the same domain as the website you’re currently visiting. Third-party cookies originate from a domain that’s different from the website being visited. For example, when you visit Our website, We may link to another company’s website, or another company like Google Analytics, Bing Analytics, and/or Facebook/Meta, may place cookies or other tracking technologies on your device to provide Us with analytics on Our website visitors, to let Us know if you view Our content, or provide advertising to you. We don’t control how these third parties use their cookies, so We suggest you check their website to see how they’re using them and how you can manage them.

Additional Disclosures and Tools for Third Party Tracking Technologies:

Our Site uses Google Analytics for certain advertising features, including Remarketing with Google Analytics, Display Network Impression Reporting, Demographics and Interest Reporting, and Signals, in accordance with Google Ads policies.. Certain of these features are already privacy-compliant because they use aggregated data or otherwise do not identify an individual. We have provided information about how we use First-Party and Third-Party cookies, as well as information about Interest-Based Ads, in the applicable sections above. However, Google provides additional opt-out options as follows:

You can opt out of Google Adwords Remarketing here. Additional information about Google advertising and changing your preferences is available here.

You can block Google Analytics from accessing your online activity with a browser add-on here.

Data exported from Us into Google Ads is subject to the Google Ads terms of service, and data imported into Google Analytics is subject to the Analytics terms of service. Please review these terms for more information.

How Google/Doubleclick uses Cookies is here; Bing/Microsoft’s privacy policy is here; and Facebook/Meta’s privacy policy is here. You can change your Facebook Ad Preferences here.

Information on controlling and deleting cookies, including on a wide variety of browsers, is also available at allaboutcookies.org. Some of the more popular browsers (and links to maintain your cookies on each) are:

It is not currently possible for you to synchronize your cookie settings between your browsers and devices (e.g., your computer and your smartphone), so you must manage your cookies on each browser and on each device you use.

Your choices about the information we collect

If you wish to change your marketing preferences, you may click the link on any email you receive from Us, or use the information in Our Contacting Us section below to opt out of the sharing of your information for marketing purposes. Your choice will not affect Our ability to share information in the other ways described in this Privacy Policy. Certain states, as set forth below, may provide you with additional options regarding your Personal Information.

California – If you are a California resident, you have the right under the California Consumer Privacy Act, upon a verified request, to:

You may contact Us to limit the use or sharing of your SPI, specifically, your geolocation information, if you have enabled it. We never share your Social Security Number for any purpose other than the purpose for which you have provided it to Us.

If you use an authorized agent to submit your request, we may require proof of the written authorization you have given.

We do not “sell” Personal Information as that term is defined under Nevada law.

Canadian privacy notice

Canadian laws provide specific privacy rights to our Canadian customers. If you are a resident of Canada, this section applies in addition to all other applicable rights and information contained in this Policy.

Where applicable, We follow applicable Canadian federal and provincial privacy laws ('Canadian Privacy Law'), including:

The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
Alberta’s Personal Information Protection Act (Alberta PIPA)
British Columbia’s Personal Information Protection Act (BC PIPA)
Québec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Québec Act).

Consent. In most cases, we rely on implied consent to collect, use, or disclose your personal information. In some circumstances, including those involving sensitive personal information, we obtain express consent. Where you have provided your consent to the collection, use, and transfer of your personal information (whether orally, in writing, or electronically), you may have the legal right to withdraw your consent under certain circumstances. In addition to the methods described above with respect to your privacy choices, you may withdraw your consent by submitting a request using the information in the “Contacting Us” section below. Please note that if you withdraw your consent, We may not be able to provide you with a particular product or service. We will explain the impact to you at the time of your request to help you with your decision.

Use of Your Personal Information. We will not collect, use, or disclose personal information except for the identified purposes identified above (See Disclosure of Your Information), unless we have received additional consent or the processing is authorized without consent. Where we engage service providers who utilize the Personal Information we provide to them, those relationships are governed by a written agreement regarding the confidentiality of your information.

Canadian Access and Challenge Rights Canadian Privacy Law provides the right to receive information about the existence, use, and disclosure of your personal information and be provided access to that information. You may also challenge the accuracy and completeness of your personal information and have it amended as appropriate. Depending on the nature of the challenged information, amendment may involve correction, deletion, or addition of information.

Exercising Your Canadian Privacy Rights. If you have an account with Us, you may view and update your account information (as noted above) directly by logging into your account. To submit a request for access to information not contained within your account, or to challenge the accuracy or completeness of your personal information, you may also submit a written request using the information in the “Contacting Us” section below. When submitting a request, We also may require you to confirm your identity and your residency in order to obtain the information. For emails, please include “Canadian Privacy Rights” as the subject line. You must include your full name, email address, and attest to the fact that you are a Canadian resident, and provide your province of residence.

If We cannot substantively respond to your request in a timely manner, We will notify you and state the reason for the delay. Under certain circumstances, We may not be able to fulfill your request, such as when doing so would interfere with Our regulatory or legal obligations, where We cannot verify your identity, or if your request involves disproportionate cost or effort. However, We will respond to your request within a reasonable time, as required by law, and provide an explanation.

Your Right to Correct Your Personal Information

You have the right to request that we correct any of your personal information collected by us that is inaccurate, subject to certain exceptions. You can do this through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”

We may decline to process your correction request if we are unable to verify your identity, if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or if the information is publicly available information, certain medical information, consumer credit reporting information, or other types of information exempt from the CCPA.

Your Opt-Out Choices

While we do not sell or share your personal information for monetary purposes, the definition of “sale” in California includes the sharing of personal information for targeted advertising and analytics. Because we use companies like Google Analytics and Facebook ads, our non-monetary uses of your personal information may be considered a “sale” under the CCPA. You may contact us to opt out of the sharing of your information for this purpose. We do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age. You also may contact us to limit the use of your sensitive personal information, specifically, your geolocation information, if you have enabled it. We never share your Social Security Number for any purpose other than the purpose for which you provided it to us.

Your Right to Request Deletion of Your Personal Information

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information collected by us, subject to certain exceptions. You can do this through a verified consumer request. That process is described below in the section, “Submitting a Verified Consumer Request.”

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

Submitting a Verified Consumer Request

You have the right to submit verified consumer requests to know information, correct information, or for deletion. You may also request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, or to limit the use of your sensitive personal information.

The request to know can be for any or all of the following:

Specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you;
Categories of personal information we have collected about you;
Categories of sources from which the personal information was collected;
Categories of personal information that we sold or disclosed for a business purpose about you;
Categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose;
The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information;
The length of time we intend to retain each category of personal information.

The response to a request for any of the categories above will cover the preceding 12 months. Please note that we are not required to provide personal information to you more than twice in a 12-month period. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

You can submit requests by calling 833-490-3177 or using our webform.

If you submit a request that is not through one of these designated methods or is deficient in some manner unrelated to verification, we will either treat it as if it had been submitted in accordance with our designated methods or provide you with information on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies.

Your request will be verified by matching the information you provide to information that we have collected. Categories may include, but are not limited to, name, address, telephone number, last 4 digits of your social security number, last 4 digits of the credit card you used to pay for your order, a prior order number, or similar types of data we hold.

Once we receive your verifiable consumer request, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days describing our verification process. We will respond to your request within 45 calendar days, if we are able to verify your identity. Requests for deletion will require a separate confirmation that you want your information deleted.

If requests from you are manifestly unfounded or excessive in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request, notifying you of our reason for refusing to act. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will notify you of the reason for that determination and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Please note that, in responding to your request, we are not permitted to disclose or provide you with your Social Security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification number, an account password, security questions and answers, or unique biometric data generated from measurements or technical analysis of human characteristics. However, we will inform you with sufficient particularity that we have collected the type of information without disclosing the actual data.

Requests to Know or Delete for Child Under the Age of 16: We accept requests for minors under the age of 16 if we can determine that it was submitted by a parent or guardian. If submitting such a request, please provide sufficient documentation to demonstrate that relationship.

Using an Authorized Agent to Submit a Request

Only you, or a natural person or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State to conduct business in California that you have authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. If you use an authorized agent, you may provide a power of attorney executed pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465. If a power of attorney that meets those provisions is not submitted, you will be required to provide the authorized agent signed permission to submit a request, verify your identity directly with us, and directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

If you’re an authorized agent making a request you need to do the following:

(a) provide a copy of a power of attorney provided to you by the consumer pursuant to Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465; or

(b) provide proof of signed permission along with a copy of your ID and have the consumer confirm with us that they provided you permission to submit the request by sending an e-mail.

Requests to Access, Correct, or Delete Household Information

We will not comply with a request to know specific pieces of information, correct personal information, or a request to delete household personal information unless (i) the request is made by the account holder or (ii) all consumers of the household jointly request access to specific pieces of information or deletion, we can individually verify all members of the household and we can verify each is currently a member of the household. If a member of a household is a minor under 16, we must obtain verifiable consent before complying with a request for specific pieces of information for the household or deletion of household personal information.

Your Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of a Privacy Right

You have a right not to receive discriminatory treatment by the business for the exercise of the privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

Deny you goods or services.
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.

At RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce, we prioritize customer satisfaction and are committed to delivering high-quality online divorce services. This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which refunds may be granted, ensuring transparency and fairness. Please review it carefully to understand our refund process.

Our Refund Policy:

RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce will issue refunds for our fees, other than the account activation fee, within the first 30 days of purchase if the customer meets the following conditions. Customers are eligible for a refund if they have not submitted their answers to generate paperwork or started the filing service process. We cannot grant a refund in cases where a customer has accessed forms or filing instructions.

Subscription charges are non-refundable. Customers may cancel their subscription at any time through their account settings or by contacting customer support. Cancellation prevents future billing cycles but does not entitle customers to a refund for charges already incurred.

Third-party services purchased through RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce, including parenting classes, name change services, co-parenting applications, and other divorce-related services, are eligible for a refund within 30 days of purchase. Sessions with our independent attorney network are refundable within 90 days of purchase.

Requesting a refund:

Refund requests can be initiated through a customer’s account profile or by contacting customer support. Please allow 5-7 days for funds to be returned. If a purchase was made using our financing partner, Affirm, refunds will be initiated by RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce and funds will be returned by Affirm according to their terms.

Refund exclusions:

Refunds cannot be issued for personal changes, complications, or reconciliation if above criteria are not met. We cannot guarantee that a customer's spouse will sign the documents and cannot provide a refund if the spouse refuses.

We are unable to refund fees paid on behalf of third parties that cannot be recovered. For example, if electronic filing has been completed and court fees have been paid, those fees are non-refundable as courts do not issue refunds to RhodeIslandOnlineDivorce.
