2. No Legal or Tax Advice
Arizona Business Shield is not a law firm and does not provide legal, tax, or financial advice.
Our services are administrative and informational in nature. Nothing we provide should be interpreted as legal advice, legal representation, tax advice, or financial advice. You are responsible for consulting a licensed attorney, CPA, or other qualified professional when legal, tax, or financial advice is needed.
3. Client Responsibilities
You agree to provide accurate, complete, and timely information, documents, approvals, and responses needed for us to perform the services.

You agree to pay all service fees, filing fees, government fees, rush fees, subscription fees, and other charges disclosed before work begins.
Unless otherwise stated:
Payment is due in full before work starts
Government or third-party fees are separate from our service fees
Ongoing services may be billed on a recurring basis until canceled
Unpaid balances may delay or stop work
5. Turnaround and Timing
Any turnaround times provided are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Timing may depend on your responsiveness, state processing times, third-party systems, and document accuracy.
6. Cancellation, Rescheduling, and Refunds

7. No Guarantee of Outcome
We do not guarantee any filing approval, government response, legal result, tax result, business outcome, or fraud-prevention outcome. We assist with process and administration, but final decisions and outcomes are controlled by government agencies, third parties, and your own compliance actions.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Arizona Business Shield will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Our total liability for any claim related to services under this Agreement will not exceed the amount you paid us for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
