Customer agrees to hold Owner harmless in the event of any errors or omissions for which Customer has failed to provide Owner with proper or complete information.
The Owner agrees to prepare the Incorporation or LLC documents limited only as to the information the Customer has provided, by entering the information in the proper manner online or typewritten for submission by US mail according to state and local requirements. If the filing must be completed by mail, the Owner agrees to provide all documentation necessary for the Customer to submit the filing by mail.
Owner further agrees to deliver the minute book to the Customer by USPS Priority Mail within five (5) business days of receipt of the completed Worksheet from the Customer unless parties have agreed otherwise, or there are extenuating circumstances which prevent Owner from completing the forms (i.e. waiting for additional information from the Customer; technical problems; natural disasters, etc.).

All information disclosed by Customer to the Owner shall be held in strict confidence. No information will be provided by Owner to any entity without Customer's written authorization, unless such disclosure is required by law.
Customer understands that Cheryl L. Smeed is not an attorney and cannot provide legal advice or legal information and may not advise Customer as to the difference between a corporation or LLC, nor offer advice as to which would best serve the customer.
Customer accepts full responsibility for all information provided and any decisions made on Customer's part. Customer further understands that should any problems arise with Customer's case, it may be necessary to retain an attorney at Customer's expense. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
