By booking, purchasing, accessing, or using our services, you agree to these Terms.

Certain services may be subject to separate agreements, policies, eligibility requirements, or terms.
2. Notary Services and Legal Advice
B. Elise Notary Services LLC is not a law firm, and our notaries are not acting as attorneys when providing notarial services.
Unless separately licensed and authorized to do so, we do not provide legal advice, draft legal documents, select documents for customers, determine the legal effect of a document, or advise customers regarding which notarial act or certificate they should choose.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that their documents are complete and appropriate for their intended purpose before requesting notarization. Questions regarding the legal effect, preparation, or content of a document should be directed to a qualified attorney or other appropriate professional.
We reserve the right to decline or discontinue a notarization when required or permitted by applicable law, including when satisfactory identification cannot be provided, the signer is not willing or able to communicate their intent, the document or transaction raises concerns regarding fraud or coercion, or the requested act cannot lawfully be performed.
3. Eligibility
You must have the legal authority to enter into these Terms and to request the applicable services.
Certain services may have additional eligibility, identification, technology, document, jurisdictional, or legal requirements.
4. Customer Responsibilities
When using our Services, you agree to:
Provide accurate, current, and complete information.
Provide acceptable identification when required.
Ensure that documents are complete and ready for the requested service.
Provide all necessary parties, witnesses, or other participants unless otherwise arranged.
Use our Services only for lawful purposes.
Provide accurate contact and scheduling information.
Comply with reasonable instructions necessary for us to perform the requested service.
Not use our Services for fraudulent, deceptive, illegal, or unauthorized purposes.
We may decline, suspend, or discontinue a service when these requirements are not met or when we reasonably believe the requested service cannot be lawfully or properly completed.
5. Fees and Payment
Fees will be disclosed at the time of booking, ordering, or engagement when applicable.
Payment may be required before, at the time of, or following completion of the service depending on the service provided and any separate agreement between the parties.
Additional charges may apply for services such as travel, printing, scanning, witnesses, shipping, expedited requests, after-hours appointments, or other requested services when disclosed to the customer.
We reserve the right to modify our prices and fees. Changes will not affect services already confirmed at an agreed-upon price unless the scope of the requested service changes.
6. Appointments, Cancellations, and Refunds
Customers should provide at least 24 hours' notice when canceling or rescheduling an appointment whenever possible.
Cancellation, rescheduling, travel, printing, administrative, or other fees may be nonrefundable once work has begun, resources have been committed, documents have been prepared or printed, travel has commenced, or third-party costs have been incurred.
Refund eligibility may depend on the service purchased and the circumstances of the cancellation.
If B. Elise Notary Services LLC cancels a prepaid service that cannot be rescheduled or completed, amounts paid for the unperformed portion of the service will be refunded, except for nonrefundable third-party costs already incurred on the customer's behalf.
7. Third-Party Services
Some Services may require or involve third-party providers, including payment processors, shipping carriers, translation providers, technology platforms, Remote Online Notarization platforms, government agencies, and other service providers.
We are not responsible for delays, outages, processing times, decisions, errors, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control that are caused by third-party providers or government agencies.
Estimated processing or completion times involving third parties are not guaranteed unless expressly stated otherwise.
8. No Guarantee of Outcome
We will provide our Services with reasonable professional care; however, we cannot guarantee that a document will be accepted by a receiving party, government agency, financial institution, court, recorder, foreign authority, or other organization.
A notarization verifies or certifies certain facts as authorized by law; it does not guarantee the truthfulness, legality, validity, enforceability, or acceptance of the underlying document or transaction.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, B. Elise Notary Services LLC shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of our Services.
We are not responsible for losses resulting from circumstances outside our reasonable control, including third-party service interruptions, government processing delays, technology outages, customer-provided errors, incomplete or inaccurate documents, or the rejection of documents by a receiving party.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
10. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless B. Elise Notary Services LLC and its officers, employees, contractors, and agents from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, or expenses arising from your unlawful or improper use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or inaccurate or fraudulent information or documents provided by you.
