Terms of Service

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) to use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other person, you represent that you have full legal authority to bind that company or person to these Terms, and "you" includes that company or person.

You represent that you are not barred from using the Service under applicable law, including U.S. export-control and sanctions rules, and that the information you provide is true, complete, and current.

You may need an account to use parts of the Service. We may allow sign-in by email one-time code, Google sign-in, or other methods we enable. You are responsible for keeping your login methods secure and for all activity under your account, except to the extent caused by our proven failure to use reasonable security measures.

Notify us promptly through the Help Center or support channels if you believe your account was accessed without permission. We may suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe are compromised, abusive, fraudulent, or in breach of these Terms.

Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, the Service may include one or more of the following (as offered at the time of your order):

• Wyoming limited liability company formation workflows, including preparation and submission of Articles of Organization and related formation materials;
• Registered agent service in Wyoming, which may be provided by GatewayBase Registered Agent LLC or another agent we designate;
• Optional Wyoming annual report / state filing assistance;
• Employer Identification Number (EIN) application workflows using IRS Form SS-4, including optional fax transmission;
• Preparation of IRS Form 1120 and Form 5472 packets for eligible foreign-owned U.S. disregarded entities, including optional fax transmission;
• Account dashboard features such as company profiles, people records, document storage, billing history, and support tools; and
• Related communications, status updates, and customer support.

We may change, add, or discontinue features. Marketing descriptions, estimated timelines, sample screens, and pricing pages are for information only and do not expand our obligations beyond these Terms and the specific order you complete at checkout.

The Service helps you enter information, generate documents, and (where available) transmit packets through third-party channels. It does not determine whether you must file, which forms apply, how to classify transactions, how to structure ownership, or how to interpret tax or corporate law.

We are not affiliated with, certified by, approved by, or endorsed by the Internal Revenue Service, any U.S. state secretary of state, FinCEN, or any other government body. Government agencies set their own rules, fees, processing times, and acceptance standards. Those rules can change without notice to us.

Any content on our website, in emails, in help articles, or in the product—including FAQs, checklists, and examples—is general information only. It is not legal, tax, accounting, or compliance advice and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional licensed in the relevant jurisdiction. If you need advice, hire your own counsel, CPA, or other advisor.

You alone are responsible for:

• Providing complete, accurate, and lawful information for every order, form, signature, and filing;
• Reviewing every generated document before you approve, sign, pay for, or authorize transmission;
• Confirming that you (and any company you form or manage) are eligible for the requested service or filing;
• Meeting all applicable federal, state, and local deadlines, including formation follow-up, annual reports, tax returns, information returns, and beneficial-ownership or other regulatory reports that may apply to you;
• Keeping copies of confirmations, fax receipts, filing packets, and government correspondence;
• Following up with the IRS, Wyoming Secretary of State, or other authority when you need status, corrections, or proof of filing; and
• Paying all government fees, taxes, penalties, and interest that apply to you, whether or not we collect a service fee.

We generate documents from the data you enter or import. We do not independently verify your identity, ownership structure, tax residency, transaction classifications, or legal conclusions. We do not warrant that any output is complete, error-free, accepted, or sufficient for your situation.

If you order Wyoming LLC formation, you authorize us (and our designees) to prepare and submit formation documents using the information you provide, and to list an organizer contact we designate where the filing system requires one.

Company-name availability is not guaranteed until the state accepts the filing. Estimated processing times are estimates only. The state may reject, delay, or require changes to a filing for any reason, including name conflicts, incomplete data, or rule changes. If a filing is rejected for a reason within your control (for example, inaccurate information), you remain responsible for correcting it and for any new government fees.

Formation does not create banking relationships, payment-processor approval, immigration status, tax residency, or any license. You remain responsible for all post-formation compliance.

Where included or purchased, registered agent service is provided so your Wyoming entity can maintain a statutory agent address in Wyoming. The named agent may be GatewayBase Registered Agent LLC or another Wyoming registered agent we appoint. By purchasing or accepting this service, you appoint that agent as registered agent for the entity identified in your order, for the service period covered by your paid term.

We (or the appointed agent) will accept service of process and official state notices directed to the registered agent address for your entity during an active paid term, and will make reasonable efforts to notify you and make copies available through your account or other contact method on file. You must keep a current email address and monitor your account. Failure to respond to legal process, tax notices, or state notices can cause default judgments, administrative dissolution, penalties, or other serious harm. We are not responsible for losses caused by your failure to monitor, download, or act on notices we make available.

Marketing materials may describe scanning of legal and state mail, and limited everyday-mail scanning allowances. Physical retention, destruction, and forwarding practices may change; we are not a permanent archive of original paper mail unless we expressly agree in writing. If a mailbox or scanning feature is marked "coming soon" or is otherwise unavailable, that does not reduce our duty to accept statutory registered-agent mail, but it may limit how quickly or in what format copies appear in the dashboard.

Registered agent terms renew only if you keep an active paid subscription or renew as offered. If service ends and you do not appoint a replacement agent, your entity may fall out of good standing. You may change registered agents according to Wyoming law; you are responsible for filing any required change documents and fees unless we expressly include that filing in a paid order.

EIN services prepare Form SS-4 materials from your inputs and, if you authorize transmission, may fax or otherwise send the packet through third-party channels. Issuance of an EIN is controlled solely by the IRS. We do not guarantee that an EIN will be issued, that it will be issued by any date, or that the IRS will accept a particular method of application.

Where the Service designates Moonbeam Catcher LLC (or an affiliate) as third-party designee on Form SS-4, you authorize that designee to receive the EIN and to answer IRS questions about the application, solely for purposes of completing the application workflow. That designation is not a power of attorney for other tax matters unless you separately execute one.

Form 1120 and Form 5472 tools are designed primarily for foreign-owned U.S. disregarded entities that use those forms in the manner described in our product materials. You are solely responsible for confirming that these forms (and not other returns) apply to your facts, including entity classification, ownership, and activity.

Missing, late, incomplete, or inaccurate Form 5472 / related filings can lead to substantial IRS penalties (which can be large and may increase over time under applicable law), interest, and other consequences. You accept full responsibility for those risks. Our fees are for software and transmission workflows only and are not insurance against penalties.

Electronic signatures you apply in the Service are intended to evidence your approval of the packet as presented. You agree that your electronic signature has the same effect as a handwritten signature to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Where you request fax or other electronic transmission to the IRS or another recipient, transmission is performed by third-party providers (for example, telecommunications and fax platforms). A "delivered," "successful," or similar status means the provider reported successful handoff to the destination fax number or channel. It does not mean the recipient received a readable copy, opened it, processed it, accepted it, or assigned any confirmation number.

Networks can fail, busy-out, truncate pages, or deliver imperfect images. You should retain transmission records and follow up with the recipient agency whenever you need official confirmation. We are not liable for agency processing delays, lost faxes after reported delivery, or agency determinations.

Prices are shown before checkout and may change for future orders. Unless stated otherwise, prices are in U.S. dollars and exclude government filing fees only when we say those fees are not included. Where we state that a state fee is included, that inclusion applies only to the specific filing described at checkout.

Some offerings are one-time purchases. Others are subscriptions that renew automatically at the interval and renewal date shown at checkout or in your billing settings (for example, yearly registered agent, yearly state filing assistance, or yearly tax-form plans). By starting a subscription, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method until you cancel according to the cancellation method we provide, or until we terminate the subscription.

You are responsible for applicable sales, use, VAT, or similar taxes, except taxes based on our net income. Payment processing is handled by Stripe or another processor we designate. Their terms also apply to payment collection.

Refunds. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable once we have begun paid work—including generating filing packets, submitting state filings, initiating fax transmission, or provisioning registered agent service—or once a government fee has been incurred or paid on your behalf. If a clear technical failure on our side prevents delivery of the purchased workflow, we may, at our option, retry the action, provide substitute performance, or issue a credit or refund. Chargebacks filed in bad faith may result in account suspension.

Cancellation of a subscription stops future renewals; it does not entitle you to a prorated refund for the then-current term unless required by law or expressly stated at purchase.

We and our licensors own the Service, including software, branding, text, design, and documentation. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your internal business purposes in accordance with these Terms. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the Service except as allowed by law that cannot be waived.

You retain ownership of the content and data you submit. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, display, and create derivative documents from that content solely to operate, secure, improve, and provide the Service and as described in the Privacy Policy.

You may not:

• Use the Service for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, or abusive purposes;
• Submit false identities, forged documents, or information you know is inaccurate;
• Attempt unauthorized access, probe vulnerabilities, interfere with security or availability, or misuse APIs;
• Resell, scrape, or commercially exploit the Service except with our prior written consent;
• Upload malware or content that infringes others' rights; or
• Use the Service in a way that creates risk of sanctions, money-laundering, or other financial-crime violations.

We may investigate suspected violations and suspend or terminate access without refund where we reasonably believe a violation occurred.

The Service depends on third parties, including hosting, databases, authentication, payment processing, email delivery, fax/telecom, analytics, customer support, and object storage providers. Their availability, security, and performance are outside our full control. Your use of third-party services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DOCUMENTS, FAXES, OR FILINGS WILL BE ACCEPTED BY ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY OR THIRD PARTY.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers. In those jurisdictions, the disclaimer applies to the fullest extent permitted.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MOONBEAM CATCHER LLC, ITS AFFILIATES (INCLUDING GATEWAYBASE REGISTERED AGENT LLC WHERE APPLICABLE), AND THEIR MANAGERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, MISSED DEADLINES, TAX PENALTIES, INTEREST, GOVERNMENT FEES, DEFAULT JUDGMENTS, ADMINISTRATIVE DISSOLUTION, OR SIMILAR LOSSES; WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

These limitations are a fundamental part of the bargain and apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not limit liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (for example, liability for fraud or willful misconduct where such limitation is prohibited).

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Moonbeam Catcher LLC, its affiliates (including GatewayBase Registered Agent LLC where applicable), and their managers, members, employees, and contractors from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your content or data; (c) your breach of these Terms; (d) your violation of law or third-party rights; or (e) any filing, formation, tax, or corporate matter relating to you or your entities, including penalties and interest assessed by any government authority.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration agreement below to the extent applicable.

Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.

Arbitration. Except for the Excluded Claims below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or Commercial Rules if Consumer Rules do not apply). The seat of arbitration will be Los Angeles County, California, unless you and we agree otherwise. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

Class action waiver. You and we agree that disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims without the consent of all parties.

Excluded Claims. Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for qualifying claims, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service.

Opt-out. You may opt out of arbitration within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Terms by sending written notice of your opt-out decision, including your name, email, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration, to the contact address in Section 22. If you opt out, or if the arbitration agreement is found unenforceable as to a claim, exclusive venue for that claim lies in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

If you are a consumer living outside the United States, mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence that cannot be waived may still apply, and nothing in this section limits non-waivable rights.

These Terms apply while you access or use the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access immediately if you breach these Terms, if required by law, if we discontinue the Service, or if we reasonably believe continued access creates legal, security, or operational risk.

Upon termination, your license ends. Sections that by their nature should survive—including ownership, fees owed, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnities, and dispute terms—will survive.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms on this page with a new effective date. Material changes will take effect on the stated effective date or, if required by law, after a notice period. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, except where applicable law requires a different method of consent.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any order-specific terms presented at checkout, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of assets. Notices to you may be sent to the email on your account or posted in the Service. Headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation."

Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or fiduciary relationship. You and we are independent contractors. Force majeure events (including outages of infrastructure providers, government systems, telecom networks, or events beyond reasonable control) excuse performance for the duration of the event.
