To order the Business License Compliance Package for additional locations, contact our customer service department to request a multi-jurisdictional order. Based on the information you provide to us, we contact local government authorities, ask which licenses apply to your business, locate applicable forms, and e-mail the applicable form(s) to you.

Annual Report Preparation and Filing Services. With the annual report service, we will provide you with monitoring of your upcoming due dates as well as assistance with filing your annual report(s). It is your responsibility to update Dekodi™ with any changes to your company information, including owners and officers at least 90 days prior to your Annual Report due date. If you sign up for the service within 90 days of your annual report due date, we will charge the credit card that we have on file and complete your annual report filing with the state without providing additional notice. IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR AN UPDATED CREDIT CARD AND CANNOT REACH YOU AFTER FOUR OR MORE ATTEMPTS, WE WILL BE UNABLE TO FILE YOUR ANNUAL REPORT(S). THIS MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL FEES, TAXES, EXPENSES, PENALTIES, AND UNFAVORABLE GOVERNMENTAL ACTIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SUSPENSION, REVOCATION, OR INACTIVE STATUS OF YOUR BUSINESS ENTITY, CRIMINAL CHARGES, INABILITY TO ACCESS COURTS WITHIN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS, SUSPENSION OF YOUR ABILITY TO DO BUSINESS WITHIN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS, AND/OR LOSS OF BUSINESS ENTITY AND DOING BUSINESS AS NAMES.

Based on the service you have purchased, Dekodi™ will send you an invoice for your subscription renewal plus state fees for the services to the address we have on file unless you inform us in writing of your desire not to renew 90 days prior to your renewal date. If not notified of cancellation 90 days prior to your annual report filing date, you will be held liable for the subscription renewal cost plus state fees. It is your responsibility to update the credit card information we have on file. IN THE EVENT THAT YOU PURCHASE THIS SERVICE WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS OF AN ANNUAL REPORT DEADLINE(S), WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO FILE SUCH ANNUAL REPORT(S) ON TIME THOUGH WE WILL USE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO MEET ALL FILING DEADLINES.


Registered Agent Services. If you select Dekodi™ as the registered agent for your entity, you must pay your registered agent invoice annually for us to continue to provide service to you. Payment is due 45 days prior to the 12-month anniversary date. Changes to this service are regulated by specific state laws. All registered agent fees are non-refundable.


To discontinue this service you must provide proof to Dekodi™ that either: (i) Dekodi™ or any of its affiliates are not listed as the registered agent with a state or any other official agencies or (ii) your company has been dissolved.

5. Arbitration and Class Action Right Waiver

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. Dekodi™ and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or to any prior oral or written agreement for Dekodi™ Services between Dekodi™ and you. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail or overnight courier, a written Notice of Intent to Arbitration ("Notice"). The Notice to Dekodi™ shall be addressed to: Attn: General Counsel, legal@Dekodigroup.com. If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Dekodi™ may commence an arbitration proceeding. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this arbitration clause, but the arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement.



6. TCPA Consent & Privacy

You expressly consent to receiving calls and messages, including auto-dialed and pre-recorded message calls and SMS messages (including text messages) from us, our affiliates, marketing partners, agents and others calling at their request or on their behalf, at any telephone numbers that you have provided or may provide in the future (including any cellular telephone numbers). Your cellular or mobile telephone provider will charge you according to the type of plan you carry. You also agree that we may contact you by e-mail, using any email address you have provided to us or that you provide to us in the future. We may listen to and/or record phone calls between you and our representatives without notice to you as permitted by applicable law. For example, we listen to and record calls for quality monitoring purposes.


7. Payments

Credit Card Payment. When you click the "Pay & Complete Order" button, we will charge your credit card. The verification process should take only a few moments.


ACH Payment. Please note that payment by electronic check will delay your request by six business days to allow time for the funds to clear. At the end of this period, if funds are received, your order will be released for processing.


The following payment methods are available only by contacting our service department:


Multiple Credit Cards. Please contact customer service immediately with credit card information.

Wire Transfers. Domestic wire transfers generally take 3-5 business days to be received and processed. International wire transfers can take 7-10 business days. Once you have submitted your transfer request, please contact customer service to provide them with your tracking information.


Deposit. The deposit(s) listed in your order is non-refundable and will be applied towards your total service fee once your request has been completed. State fees and tax clearance (if applicable) are not included in the service fee. You are required to pay the balance of the service fee, and any applicable state filing fees and tax clearance to complete the process. Dekodi™ will research the state fees and provide the appropriate paperwork and fee schedule. Once you receive the paperwork and fee schedule, please complete, sign, and return them along with your balance due to us for submission to the state filing office. Once the state approves your filing, we will send you the official evidence.


Recurring Fees. You agree that Dekodi™ may charge your credit card on file annually for any renewable services you ordered including, without limitation, Registered Agent Service, Annual Report Preparation and File Service, or any other similar service. It is your responsibility to maintain an updated payment method on file with us in order for us to continue providing the services. You are responsible for notifying us of your desire to cancel the service(s) and to avoid any future charges by contacting us.


8. Refund Policy

If you are not satisfied with the service provided by Dekodi™, please contact us via e-mail at info@Dekodigroup.com


If you cancel your order before we have submitted it to a federal, state or local office, Dekodi™ will refund the total amount paid for such order less a service fee. If you cancel your order after we have already submitted it, we will use our discretion to determine what portion, if any, we will refund.


All state fees paid to federal, state, or local offices by Dekodi™ are nonrefundable.


9. User Information and Service Delivery

Certain sections of the Web Site require you to register. If registration is requested, you agree to provide Dekodi™ with accurate, complete registration information. It is your responsibility to inform Dekodi™ of any changes to registration information. Each registration is for a single person only, unless specifically designated otherwise on the registration page. Dekodi™ does not permit any other person using the sections under your name or access through a single name being made available to multiple users on a network. You are responsible for preventing such unauthorized use.


Dekodi™ may act in reliance upon any instruction, information, document, filing, name, email address or user password that meets the Web Site's automated criteria or which is believed by Dekodi™'s personnel to be genuine. For any password protected areas, Dekodi™ may assume a person entering a user name address and associated password is, in fact, that user or is authorized by that user to act on its behalf. Dekodi™ may assume the latest email addresses and registration information on file with Dekodi™ are accurate and current. When programmed to do so, Dekodi™ may take prescribed actions in the absence of receiving proper and complete contrary instructions.


You agree to review your contact and billing information periodically and notify Dekodi™ immediately if there are any updates or corrections. FURTHER, YOU WARRANT AND REPRESENT TO US THAT ALL THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE PROVIDED AND/OR WILL PROVIDE IS TRUTHFUL AND ACCURATE.
