(c) any discounts applied to the service may be removed  and full payment will be required

WeServe&File Fees are those fees imposed by WeServe&File for WeServe&File Services

Statutory Fees include without limitation statutory court fees, witness fees and any other third-party fees.

Statutory Fees of $20 or more disbursed on your behalf are assessed a 3.3% convenience fee for processing and collecting these Disbursements. This fee will not apply to WeServe&File Fees.

Payment Methods You authorize WeServe&File to charge your credit card, debit card, or financial institution account (via STRIPE PAYMENT (“STRIPE”) transaction), for all amounts owed to WeServe&File with respect to Services and Disbursements you ordered via your WeServe&File Account or otherwise. When you provide a Payment Method to WeServe&File, you confirm that you are permitted to use that Payment Method. You also authorize WeServe&File to collect and store the related payment card or financial institution account number(s) or other information, along with other related transaction information (collectively, “Payment Information”). When you make a purchase, you authorize WeServe&File to charge the full amount of the transaction, including statutory court and witness fees to the Payment Method you designate for the transaction. You also acknowledge and agree that WeServe&File may share selective Payment Information with third parties, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, to check credit, effect payment to WeServe&File and servicing your WeServe&File Account. For purposes of this section titled “Payment Terms”, “WeServe&File” refers to WeServe&File Inc. along with any service providers chosen by WeServe&File to provide the Payment Methods. The terms described in this Section titled “Payment Terms” supersede any payment terms stated on your invoices.

Authorization to Pay by Credit or Debit Card. 

If the Payment Method you choose is to pay by credit or debit card, we may obtain pre-approval from the issuer of the card for an amount up to the amount of the purchase. We will bill your card at the time of purchase or shortly thereafter in the amounts owed to WeServe&File as indicated on the corresponding WeServe&File invoices. If you cancel an order before completion, that pre-approval may result in your funds or available credit not being immediately available. If you pay by debit card and your payment results in an overdraft or other fee from your bank, you alone are responsible for that fee. The Administrator (as defined below) may be able to change or update the card information (“Card Information”), including the card number, name on the card, expiration date, and the card verification value (CVV) code, assigned to your WeServe&File account at a later time or times, and in a manner that WeServe&File requires in its sole discretion. Unless you are a self-represented litigant, you represent that any credit card used to pay for a purchase from WeServe&File is a business or commercial card and not a card issued primarily for personal, family or household purposes.

Revoking your authorization.

This Authorization will remain in full force and effect until you notify WeServe&File by electronic message at [email protected] that you wish to revoke this Authorization. WeServe&File requires at least 10 business days’ prior written notice to revoke (cancel) this Authorization.

Filing Claims for Alleged Errors. If you believe a debit initiated by WeServe&File occurred in error, there was an error in the amount of debit or any other error, you must file a claim with WeServe&File at once by contacting WeServe&File at [email protected], giving WeServe&File all information you have about the alleged error, and taking any other action(s) as reasonably required by WeServe&File. You have ninety (90) days after the date of the posting of the charge/debit in question to file a claim. If you file a claim with WeServe&File after more than ninety (90) days, WeServe&File will have no obligation to investigate the claim and you will have no right to recover any funds you may have lost as a result of the alleged error. If an error occurs with regard to a credit, WeServe&File may take any action permitted by law to recover the funds from you and or Bank Account.

You must have an account established with WeServe&File before any Services being performed. When establishing an account with WeServe&File, WeServe&File requires a valid credit card to be placed on file with WeServe&File as a form of back up payment. You will be billed for all Services provided and all Disbursements, such as statutory court fees, witness fees and other third party fees, including, but not limited to fees charged by the local electronic filing management system provider, made on your behalf. Payment for Services rendered by WeServe&File is non-refundable. Payment outstanding fifteen (15) days or more beyond the terms stated in an invoice is considered delinquent. Should any invoice become delinquent, WeServe&File reserves the right to charge the invoice amount to the backup credit card. Because all transactions are conducted electronically, you agree that the physical credit card need not be present with WeServe&File in order for the charge to the card to be valid, and you agree not to dispute the validity of any such charge on that basis. Returned payments including but not limited to returned checks, and credit card chargebacks may incur returned payment fees of up to $25.00 per returned payment.

You are liable for the payment of all invoices. You may have a third party, such as a client of yours, pay an invoice directly to WeServe&File. However, it is understood that WeServe&File has no relationship with such third parties and has no obligation to collect from them. The payment obligation rests solely with you, and WeServe&File will hold you liable for payment of any invoice submitted to a third party for payment. WeServe&File reserves the right to impose or reduce the limit on the balance that a customer may owe us, even if not yet billed, for any or no reason. Should any invoice become delinquent and WeServe&File has to initiate a collections effort, all reasonable collection costs and/or legal fees will be added to the balance due.

Subscriptions
Subscriptions may be offered for certain WeServe&File services. Where applicable, subscriptions are on a monthly basis, with the full month’s subscription fee due on the first of each month. Changes, additions, deletions, upgrades and downgrades to your subscriptions can be supported by contacting WeServe&File customer support. There is no refund for a partial month’s subscription fee upon cancellation.

WeServe&File’s Right to Refuse or Delay Services and Other Requests
WeServe&File may delay or refuse to process any request for a Service or to make a payment via a Payment Method or any other type of request (collectively, “Requests”), including without limitation requests to change or update Card Information or Bank Account Information or to authorize payment via a Payment Method, without prior notice to you if WeServe&File: (i) is unable to confirm to its satisfaction the person’s identity or his or her authority to make the request; (ii) believes in its sole discretion that it is prudent for security reasons to take additional measures to verify the authority and/or identity of the person who initiated the Request; (iii) has a suspicion that the transaction may be in violation of applicable law, or the transaction is otherwise under review by WeServe&File; or (iv) determines that you are delinquent in payment of fees due WeServe&File. You agree to immediately provide to WeServe&File any additional information it requests in relation to this Section titled “WeServe&File’s Right to Refuse or Delay Services and Other Requests”, and agree to any additional methods of verification (as determined in WeServe&File’s sole discretion) to verify any person’s authority or identity or to verify the authenticity of a Request.

WeServe&File’s ability to provide the Services and Payment Methods may be dependent upon WeServe&File’s ability to obtain access to third party vendors, websites and networks (collectively “third party services”). In the event, any third party service is unavailable or delayed for any reason, or WeServe&File determines in its discretion that WeServe&File cannot continue utilizing a third-party service, WeServe&File may discontinue the Services or any Payment Method, delay your access to the Services or any Payment Method, and/or delay acting on any Request.

Without limiting the foregoing, WeServe&File is not responsible for any inconvenience, loss or damage you may incur as a result of any discontinuation of or delay in your access to any Service or ability to make a payment to WeServe&File via a Payment Method, or delay of any Request.

Administrators and Sub-users
The person that initially creates your WeServe&File Account will be identified as the administrator (“Administrator”) for your management and use of your WeServe&File Account. The Administrator will be required to establish a username and password, and such other security devices as WeServe&File may reasonably establish from time to time, (collectively, “Credentials”) upon creating a WeServe&File Account. The identity of the Administrator may be changed from time to time in a manner that WeServe&File requires in its sole discretion. You agree that the Administrator shall have the authority, on your behalf, to (i) create your WeServe&File Account; (ii) enroll you in Payment Methods and authorize payments via a designated Payment Method; (iii) initiate Services; (iv) update or change your Bank Account Information or Card Information; and (vi) update your contact information (e.g., address, telephone number, etc.).

The Administrator may from time to time identify one or more sub-users via your WeServe&File Account (“Sub-users”) or in a manner that WeServe&File otherwise requires in its sole discretion. The Administrator may also remove or delete any Sub-user via your WeServe&File Account or in a manner that WeServe&File requires in its sole discretion. A Sub-user will be required to establish Credentials unique to the Sub-user. You agree that Sub-users are authorized to initiate Services and Disbursements on your behalf that result in payment(s) for Services via a Payment Method designated by the Administrator, but will not be able to: (i) enroll you in a Payment Method; (ii) update or change your Bank Account Information or Card Information; or (iii) update your contact information (e.g., address, telephone number, etc.).

WeServe&File may suspend the Administrator’s or any Sub-user’s access to your WeServe&File Account if WeServe&File, in its sole discretion, reasonably believes the WeServe&File Account is being used or accessed in an unauthorized, illegal, or disruptive manner. You agree that the Administrator and Sub-users may use the Payment Methods, your WeServe&File Account, and initiate any Service only: (i) for your own internal business purposes; and (ii) as authorized under, and in accordance with, these Terms of Service and your own internal policies. The Administrator and Sub-users will not initiate Services for or on behalf of any third party, or otherwise allow any third party to use your WeServe&File Account, without WeServe&File’s prior written consent.

Arbitration
WeServe&File and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:

a. claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;
b. claims that arose before these or any prior Terms of Service were adopted;
c. claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
d. claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms of Service.

References to “WeServe&File,” “you,” and “us” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users of the Services under these or prior Terms of Service between us, You agree, by entering into these Terms of Service, that you and WeServe&File each are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms of Service evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Service.

Notwithstanding the above, you may choose to pursue your claim in court and not by arbitration if you opt-out of these arbitration procedures within 30 days from the date when your first accept these terms (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt-out of these arbitration procedures by calling (416) 477-6794 or emailing [email protected] to request the opt-out form. Any opt-out received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue any claim in arbitration.

Notice of disputes
For all disputes and claims, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first allow WeServe&File to resolve your dispute or claim by sending an emailed Notice of Dispute (the “Notice”) to WeServe&File at the following address: [email protected] addressed to the Office for Dispute Resolution, WeServe&File.
The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the dispute or claim and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (a “Demand”). If WeServe&File and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the dispute or claim within 30 days after Notice is received, you or WeServe&File may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by WeServe&File or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or WeServe&File is entitled.

The arbitration will be governed by the Canadian Arbitration Association Rules (collectively, the “CAA Rules”) of the Canadian Arbitration Association (“CAA”), as modified by these Terms of Service and will be administered by the CAA. The CAA rules are available at www.canadianarbitrationassociation.ca or by calling 1-800-856-5154 or emailing [email protected]  The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Service. The arbitrator, and not any federal, provincial or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Service, including but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Service is void or voidable.

The payment of all CAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated hereunder will be governed by the CAA Rules; provided, however that for claims under $75,000 as to which you provided notice and negotiated in good faith as required above before initiating the arbitration, if the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Except for claims under $75,000 determined to be frivolous, WeServe&File agrees not to seek an award of attorneys’ fees in such arbitration proceedings even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law.

Unless WeServe&File and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the city of Toronto or the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

Class action waiver
You and WeServe&File agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

Further, unless both you and WeServe&File agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favour of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If you choose to pursue your claim in court by opting out of the arbitration provision as specified above, this Class Action Waiver provision will not apply to you.
