These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legal agreement between HOA Inc, a Delaware Corporation (“Company”), and you, the individual or entity agreeing to these Terms (“you”). If you represent a business, law firm, accounting firm, homeowners association (HOA) management company, or any other professional services firm (collectively, “Professional Service Firm”), or if you are a professional filing service (“Professional Filer”), or a client of such firms authorized to use the Service for your own benefit (“Client User”), you accept these Terms on behalf of your organization or on your own behalf. In this context, “you” includes your business, company, association, partnership, or you as an individual user.
These Terms also govern your use of any software, video, text, data, information, graphics, and other proprietary content (collectively, “Materials”) that we or our affiliates make available, as well as any services provided through our website (“Site”). Together, the Site, Materials, and services are referred to as the “Service.” These Terms become effective when you click the “I Agree” box or otherwise accept them and proceed to use the Service.
BY CLICKING “I AGREE” OR OTHERWISE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS AND USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCEPT THEM OR USE THE SERVICE.
The Service facilitates online Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) filings for HOA management companies, law firms, accounting firms, professional filers, and other entities. We provide a convenient online service to assist professional filers and entities in submitting CTA filings. Please note that we are not a law firm, accounting firm, or government agency.
Starting January 1, 2024, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, requires CTA filings. The information you provide through the Service will be submitted directly to FinCEN.

(a) Overview: Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration in Columbia, Missouri, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Missouri law governs these Terms. The judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(b) Initiation: To initiate arbitration, the aggrieved party must send the other party a written notice of intent to arbitrate, outlining the details of the dispute (“Dispute”). Parties are encouraged to resolve the Dispute prior to formal arbitration.
(c) Process: If a resolution cannot be reached within 30 days after notice, each party shall select one arbitrator, and these two arbitrators will select a third arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. The costs of arbitration will be split equally between the parties unless otherwise directed by the arbitrator. If either party delays or fails to comply with these provisions, the delaying or non-compliant party shall bear reasonable costs of delay. The arbitration should be scheduled as soon as possible to ensure a prompt resolution. In the event a party fails to comply with the arbitration provision or award, the other party is entitled to costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees.
(d) Severability: If any section of this arbitration provision is found to be unenforceable or invalid, it shall be modified to be enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
(e) Class Action Waiver: Both parties agree to waive the right to participate in a class action or collective arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction, not by an arbitrator.
