Terms of service

The short version: we file documents at your direction, we are not your lawyer, and you are responsible for the accuracy of what you tell us. Last updated 4 October 2026.

1. What we are, and are not

Sedes is a document filing and registered agent service. We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice. We prepare and submit formation documents based on information you give us and at your instruction.

Nothing on this site is legal or tax advice. Information about states, privacy and compliance is general and may not fit your circumstances. For anything turning on your specific situation — member disputes, tax structuring, litigation — consult a licensed attorney or accountant in the relevant jurisdiction.

2. Your responsibilities

  • Accuracy. You are responsible for the information you provide. We file what you tell us. If a name, address or member detail is wrong, correcting it after filing requires a state amendment and the state's fee, which we pass through at cost.
  • Name availability. We check whether your chosen name appears available, but the state makes the final determination and may reject it. If rejected, we will work with you on an alternative; the state's filing fee may not be recoverable.
  • Lawful purpose. You confirm the company is being formed for a lawful purpose and that you are authorised to form it.
  • Keeping your details current. As your registered agent we must be able to reach you. If your contact details go stale and we cannot forward a legal notice, the consequences fall on your company.

3. Pricing and fees

Our service fee is stated at checkout. State filing fees are set by the state, not by us, and we pass them through at cost without markup. They range from $40 to $500 depending on the state and can change without notice when a legislature changes them.

Recurring services are only recurring if you expressly agreed to that, in a disclosure naming the amount and the date, with any consent box unticked by default. We do not enrol you in automatic renewal by default.

4. What we deliver, and timing

We will prepare and submit your filing promptly after receiving complete information. We do not control how long a state takes. Processing times vary from same-day to several weeks and are outside our control. Where a state offers expedited processing we will tell you the cost.

We do not guarantee any particular outcome that depends on a third party, including state approval of a name or filing, IRS issuance of an EIN, or any bank's decision to open an account.

5. Registered agent service

While we are your registered agent we will accept service of process and official notices at the address on your state filing and forward them to you promptly, normally with same-day scanning. You must keep your forwarding details current.

Either of us may end the agent relationship. If we resign we will give you reasonable notice so you can appoint a replacement, because an LLC without a registered agent can be administratively dissolved.

6. Refunds

Set out in the refund policy, which forms part of these terms. In short: our fee is refundable before we file; a state fee already paid to the state is not recoverable by us.

7. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to our services is limited to the amount you paid us for the service in question. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profits or business interruption.

We are not liable for consequences of information you gave us that was inaccurate or incomplete, for delays or decisions by a state or federal agency, or for your failure to meet a compliance deadline we notified you of.

8. Termination

You may stop using the service at any time. We may decline or discontinue service — for instance where we believe a filing is unlawful, where we cannot verify identity, or where payment fails — and if we do, we will refund fees for work not performed.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the State of Colorado, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

10. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be communicated rather than silently applied, and they do not retroactively alter the terms of a filing already completed.
