Terms of Service

Founders 8 provides a coordination and record-keeping platform. By creating an account you agree to these terms. If you are using Founders 8 on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorised to bind it, and “you” means that company.

The service is software plus coordination: we help you assemble and maintain a U.S. company and the records that go with it, we track deadlines, and we introduce and instruct qualified partners on your behalf where you ask us to.

Founders 8 is not a law firm, an accounting firm, a bank, a money transmitter or a licensed immigration adviser. Nothing we publish or send you is legal, tax, accounting or immigration advice, and no relationship of attorney and client, or accountant and client, is created by using Founders 8.

Regulated work is performed by independent, qualified third parties who contract with you directly and are responsible for their own advice and filings. We do not supervise their professional judgement.

• Give us accurate, current information. Formation documents, tax filings and bank applications are only as good as what goes into them, and a wrong answer can invalidate a filing.
• Keep your credentials secure, and tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed by someone else.
• Use Founders 8 lawfully. You may not use it to further tax evasion, sanctions evasion, money laundering, or any activity unlawful where you live or where your company is formed.
• Meet your own obligations. We can track a deadline and remind you of it; we cannot file on your behalf without your instruction and, where required, your signature.

Subscription fees are charged in advance for the period you select and are non-refundable except where required by law. Government fees, state filing fees and third-party partner costs are separate, charged at cost, and disclosed before they are incurred. We will give at least 30 days’ notice before changing the price of an existing subscription.

You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of your current billing period. Cancelling stops the subscription; it does not itself dissolve your company, terminate a registered-agent appointment or end an obligation to a tax authority. You can export your documents before your access ends, and we will keep them available for 30 days afterwards.

Banks, payment processors, tax authorities and immigration authorities make their own decisions on their own timelines. We prepare applications properly and follow them up. We cannot and do not promise that an account will be opened, a residency granted, or a filing accepted on a particular date.

We aim to keep the service available and accurate, but it is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of the service is limited to the subscription fees you paid in the twelve months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profits or penalties assessed by an authority.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects your rights we will tell you by email before it takes effect, and continuing to use the service after that date means you accept the change.

Questions about these terms go through our contact form. How we handle your data is set out in the Privacy Policy.
