TERMS & CONDITIONS

Landau, Hess, Simon, Choi & Doebley (“LHSC”) thanks you for the chance to serve as your immigration law representative and/or to allow you to access the LHSC website (LHSCimmigration.com) under the terms and conditions of these LHSC Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service” or “Agreement”).
 
These Terms of Service apply to any services rendered and/or information delivered through the firm and associated websites, including LHSCimmigration.com, Law Logix, Bill.com, etc. (collectively, the “LHSC Services”).
 
You should closely read this entire Agreement before using the LHSC website or LHSC Services. Your use of the LHSC website and LHSC Services, your creation of a LHSC account via LHSC’s portals with Law Logix and Bill.com, (your “LHSC Accounts”), and/or your use of any LHSC Services or products will constitute your consent and agreement to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you fail or refuse to agree with any terms and conditions in this Agreement, we will be unable to provide any Services to you.

Acceptance of Agreement
By using the Services described in this Agreement, by creating a LHSC account or by using the LHSC website or LHSC Services, you agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Amendments
LHSC may amend this Agreement for any reason and at any time, but will provide notice of any such amendment at www.LHSCimmigration.com/terms. Your use of LHSC Services after the effective date of any amendment will act as your consent to be bound by the amended Agreement. By using LHSC Services, you agree to review this Agreement periodically and to be bound by any amendments to it.

Payment Terms
Your use of LHSC Services may result in the incurrence of LHSC Fees and Disbursements of government fees or other expenses made on your behalf. You are responsible for paying to LHSC all fees for Services and for reimbursing LHSC for any and all Disbursements.
Any amounts not paid within fifteen (15) days after the due date may be charged interest at a rate equal to the lower of (a) eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (b) the highest rate per annum allowed by applicable law. LHSC Fees are those fees imposed by LHSC for LHSC Services. Disbursements include, without limitation, USCIS filing fees, administrative fees, and any other third party fees and any other expenses incurred on your behalf by LHSC. Disbursements paid by credit card are assessed a 2.6% convenience fee for processing and collecting these Disbursements in accordance with applicable law. This fee will not apply to LHSC Fees. Customers can choose to pay via ACH or eCheck to avoid this fee.

Payment Methods
As directed, LHSC will charge your credit card, debit card, or financial institution account (via an automated clearing house (“ACH”) transaction), for all amounts owed to LHSC with respect to Services and Disbursements you ordered via your LHSC Account or otherwise. When you provide a Payment Method to LHSC, you confirm that you are permitted to use that Payment Method. You also authorize LHSC 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”).
(a) 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 an agreed-upon schedule (e.g. once per month) or upon incurring an expense in the amounts owed to LHSC as indicated on the corresponding LHSC invoices. 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 LHSC account at a later time or times, and in a manner that LHSC requires in its sole discretion.
(b) Authorization to Pay by ACH. If the Payment Method you choose is to pay by ACH (“ACH Payment Service”), you hereby authorize LHSC to electronically debit or credit, via an ACH transaction, the bank deposit account you designate from time to time (“Bank Account”). By choosing this Payment Method, the 2.6% convenience fee associated with disbursements will be waived. The following terms and conditions apply to the ACH Payment Service:

1. Authorization to Debit and Credit Bank Account
Upon mutual agreement, LHSC would be authorized to initiate: (a) recurring automatic ACH debits to your Bank Account in the amounts owed to LHSC as indicated on the corresponding LHSC invoices; and (b) ACH credits to your Bank Account to correct any erroneous debits or provide a refund, as approved by LHSC in its sole discretion. Your Authorization also includes permission to collect the following, whether provided as part of the ACH enrollment or when you enrolled in LHSC’s Services generally: (i) your name; (ii) your current mailing address and Bank Account Information (as described in Paragraph 3. below); (iii) your Internet Protocol (IP) address; and (iv) the means used by LHSC to authenticate the person providing the Authorization on your behalf as described in the Sections below titled “Administrators and Sub-users” and “Credentials and Authorizing Transactions”. With respect to each ACH transaction you authorize, you agree to be bound by the “National Automated Clearing House Association Operating Rules and Guidelines” (“NACHA Rules”), as may be amended from time to time.

2. Amounts of Debits to Bank Account
You acknowledge that the amounts of the automatic ACH debits to your Bank Account may vary depending on the invoice amounts.

3. Bank Account Information
In accordance with procedures established by LHSC, you agree to provide to LHSC the necessary information pertaining to your Bank Account in order to debit or credit your Bank Account via an ACH transaction, including (but not limited to) the name of your financial institution, the financial institution’s routing number, the name(s) of the owner(s) of your checking account designated as the Bank Account, and the account number of the Bank Account (collectively “Bank Account Information”). The Administrator (as defined below) may be able to change or update the Bank Account Information at a later time and in a manner that LHSC requires in its sole discretion.

4. Revoking your authorization
This Authorization will remain in full force and effect until you notify LHSC in writing that you wish to revoke this Authorization. LHSC requires at least 10 business days’ prior written notice in order to revoke (cancel) this Authorization. Revocation will not affect LHSC’s right to initiate ACH credits to your Bank Account in order to correct or adjust any debits that were processed before your revocation became effective.

5. Return of ACH Entries
If an ACH payment is returned from your Bank Account for insufficient or uncollected funds or for erroneous information, LHSC may reinitiate the returned ACH debit to your Bank Account within one to five days after the initiation of the first ACH debit. You agree to pay LHSC a returned payment fee of $25 that may be charged by LHSC, for each returned ACH debit from your Bank Account. Any amounts owed to LHSC that cannot be collected by an ACH debit will be charged to the backup credit card on file with LHSC as described below.

6. Filing Claims for Alleged Errors
If you believe an ACH debit initiated by LHSC occurred in error, there was an error in the amount of a debit, or any other error, you must immediately notify LHSC personnel working on your in writing, giving LHSC all information you have about the alleged error, and taking any other action(s) as reasonably required by LHSC. You have sixty (60) days after the date of the posting of the ACH debit in question to file a claim. If you file a claim with LHSC after more than sixty (60) days, LHSC 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 an ACH credit, LHSC may take any action permitted by law and the NACHA Rules to recover the funds from your Bank Account.

7. Representations and Warranties
You represent and warrant to LHSC that: (i) you own the Bank Account; (ii) you have authority on behalf of any other owner(s) of the Bank Account to authorize LHSC to debit the Bank Account as agreed in these Terms of Service; and (iii) all ACH transactions you authorize comply with all applicable laws and the NACHA Rules, as may be amended from time to time.
Payment for Services rendered by LHSC is non-refundable. Because all transactions are conducted electronically, you agree that the physical credit card need not be present with LHSC 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, ACH, eCheck, and credit card chargebacks may incur returned payment fees of up to $25.00 per retuned payment.
You are liable for payment of all invoices. Should any invoice become delinquent and LHSC has to initiate a collections effort, all reasonable collection costs and/or legal fees will be added to the balance due.

LHSC’s Right to Refuse or Delay Services and Other Requests
LHSC 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 LHSC: (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 LHSC; or (iv) determines that you are delinquent in payment of fees due LHSC. You agree to immediately provide to LHSC any additional information it requests in relation to this Section titled “LHSC’s Right to Refuse or Delay Services and Other Requests”, and agree to any additional methods of verification (as determined in LHSC’s sole discretion) to verify any person’s authority or identity or to verify the authenticity of a Request.

LHSC’s ability to provide the Services and Payment Methods may be dependent upon LHSC’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 LHSC determines in its discretion that LHSC cannot continue utilizing a third party service, LHSC 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, LHSC 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 LHSC via a Payment Method, or delay of any Request.

Administrators and Sub-users
The person that initially creates your LHSC Account will be identified as the administrator (“Administrator”) for your management and use of your LHSC Account. The Administrator will be required to establish a username and password, and such other security devices as LHSC may reasonably establish from time to time, (collectively, “Credentials”) upon creating a LHSC Account. The identity of the Administrator may be changed from time to time in a manner that LHSC requires in its sole discretion. You agree that the Administrator shall have the authority, on your behalf, to: (i) create your LHSC 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 (v) 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 LHSC Account (“Sub-users”) or in a manner that LHSC otherwise requires in its sole discretion. The Administrator may also remove or delete any Sub-user via your LHSC Account or in a manner that LHSC 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.).
LHSC may suspend the Administrator’s or any Sub-users’ access to your LHSC Account if LHSC, in its sole discretion, reasonably believes the LHSC 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 LHSC 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 LHSC Account, without LHSC’s prior written consent.

Taxes
You shall be responsible for any taxes which LHSC may be required to pay or collect under any applicable law in connection with the Services, and any such amounts paid by LHSC shall be charged to your account.
