  1. SPECIAL SERVICE CONDITIONS
  1. You can cancel the application and get a full refund. However:
  • Once the company formation process is complete, we cannot refund.
  • When a government agency (such as the Secretary of State, IRS or other agencies) is reviewing documents, we cannot refund.
  • If you are dissatisfied with services outside of our website (e.g. third party service providers), we will not be able to refund.
  1. We are NOT affiliated with any bank, government, accounting and professional organizations. The client is responsible for paying expenses related to the establishment and operation of the business that are not covered by our service (e.g., notary fees, CPA fees, and other expenses not covered by our flat fee).
  2. Due to government restrictions, we cannot accept applications from citizens of Cuba, Crimea, Iran, North Korea and Syria. These restrictions may change.
  3. If the party involved (such as IRS, registered agent or any other party) needs more time to process the application, the company creation process may take longer than estimated.
  4. Openbiz.io is not responsible for IRS errors in providing documentation. The client will be responsible for correcting such errors should he/she wish to do so.
  5. Once openbiz.io has paid the state fees, you will not be able to change the selected state or LLC name.

They cannot accept applications from residents of the following countries: Belarus, Burundi, Central African Republic, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nicaragua, North Korea, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Yemen, Zimbabwe. These limits may change. This is particularly a residency requirement, so if citizens of these countries move elsewhere in the future, our banking partners can generally approve them.
  7. All documents will be provided digitally; they will be sent via email. We will not provide actual copies of the documents.
  1. PLANS

Openbiz offers the following plans:

  • Basic Plan
  • Professional Plan

When a user makes a purchase of a plan, the user agrees and declares to purchase the plan for the price advertised on the website at the time of purchase. Please check the price and features of each plan before ordering. When a user makes a plan purchase, Openbiz will send a confirmation email. This confirmation email will occur automatically so that the user has confirmation of payment and plan initiation. If the user does not receive the confirmation email when purchasing and signing up for the plan, it may have been sent to their spam folder. Openbiz may cancel the sale of any plan and may change or discontinue the availability of plans at any time at its sole discretion. If a plan purchase is cancelled, any payments made for the applicable billing period will be refunded. This does not affect your statutory rights. Plans may include automatic recurring payments. You authorize Openbiz to renew your plan and to charge you periodically and progressively on each billing date. The plan billing date is the date you purchase the plan and make your first payment. On the applicable billing date, you will automatically be charged the applicable plan fee. The plan will remain active until you cancel it or we terminate it. You must cancel your plan before it renews to avoid the next billing period. We will bill you for the plan billing fee in the payment method you choose during plan registration and purchase. Plans will automatically renew for an additional period unless cancelled before the next billing period. To cancel plans, users must submit a cancellation request through our contact information and the plan will be cancelled for the next billing period. If a plan is cancelled, the user will be able to continue using the payment functions of the services until the next billing period, at which time the plan will be cancelled definitively.  

  1. PAYMENTS

The plans will be paid through Stripe (payment processor available on the website). Payment will be charged to your credit or debit card immediately upon payment of the applicable plan fee. Upon processing a transaction, we will issue an electronic receipt that will be sent to the email address you provided to us at the time you purchased a plan. The email and transaction receipt may be sent through the payment processor available from Openbiz. If you find any inconsistency in your billing, please contact us through our contact information or you can make the claim through the client service of the corresponding payment platform. If your card is declined, you will receive an error message. No payment will be charged to your card and no order will be processed. There may be a pending transaction on your account until your card issuing bank withdraws the authorization. This usually takes 2 to 5 business days. Your card may be declined for various reasons such as insufficient funds, AVS (Address Verification System) mismatch or you have entered an incorrect security code. If your payment is declined, you must provide an alternative payment method or provide another card where payment can be charged and processed. Your payment information will be treated and stored with total security and for the sole purpose of processing the purchase of services. Openbiz reserves the right to hire any payment platform available on the market, which treats your data for the sole purpose of processing the purchase of services.
