Terms of Service

Effective October 13, 2026

1. Who we are

HourLLC ("HourLLC", "we", "us") runs hourllc.com. By placing an order or using the site, you agree to these Terms.

2. We are not a law firm

• HourLLC is a document filing service. We are not a law firm and we are not accountants.
• We don't give legal, tax or financial advice, and nothing on this site is advice.
• Using HourLLC does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you need advice (for example, which entity type or tax setup is right for you), please talk to a lawyer or accountant.

3. What we do

• We prepare your LLC formation documents from the information you give us.
• We file them with the state on your behalf, as your authorized organizer.
• After the state approves your LLC, we obtain your EIN (federal tax ID) from the IRS, if your order includes it.
• We email you your documents.

4. Your information is your responsibility

• You agree to give us complete, true and accurate information (business name, addresses, members, registered agent and so on).
• We file what you give us. You are responsible for its accuracy and for any problems caused by wrong or missing information.
• You confirm you have the right to form the business and to authorize us to file for it.

5. Pricing

• Service fee: $99 per LLC.
• State fees: at exact cost. Each state sets its own filing fee. We pass it through with no markup. The same goes for state rush fees, certified copies and Good Standing certificates you add.
• Printed kit (optional): $39.
• You see your full total before you pay.

6. Your EIN and your SSN

• We apply for your EIN after your LLC is formed.
• The IRS needs a responsible party's SSN (or ITIN). We collect it only through a secure form after checkout.
• We will never ask for your SSN by text or email. Please don't send it that way.

7. Timing

• Our filing hours: Mon–Thu 8 AM–7 PM ET, Fri 8 AM–12 PM ET. Closed Saturdays.
• Complete orders placed during filing hours are filed within the hour. Orders placed after hours are filed by 9 AM ET the next business day.
• Each state sets its own approval time. "As fast as" times on our site are estimates, not guarantees. We can't control state backlogs, holidays or outages.

8. Cancellations and refunds

See our Refund Policy. In short: full refund before we file; after we file, fees aren't refundable, except if the state rejects the filing because of our mistake.

9. Limit of liability

• We work carefully, but the service is provided "as is".
• To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim about our service is limited to the service fee you paid us for that order (not state fees, which go to the state).
• We are not liable for indirect losses, such as lost profits or missed business opportunities, or for delays and decisions made by the state or the IRS.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms. The version posted here when you place your order applies to that order.
