Judith Silver, an experienced technology attorney, licensed in California, Florida, New York and Texas. You can review Ms. Silver's background under the Qualifications section of this site.

The terms are written based on Ms. Silver's experience of typical industry terms for these agreements and are written with the terms drafted in the purchaser's favor.

No, only US law. However, if your site and/or main company is outside the US but you have an office in the US, these terms would most likely apply to customers you have in the US if a US customer was to bring a legal claim here, providing you do not edit the choice of law and jurisdiction clauses.

Yes. Forms purchased through Coollawyer.com are available for download in Word2000 and forward which are fully editable.

Any free forms on this site may be freely copied and distributed without restrictions.

Any purchased forms may be printed and copied within your business, for the benefit of internal use by your business only. They may not be distributed or copied outside of your business except for entering into contractual relationships using them.

If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason or do not agree to the Purchase Agreement terms, you may return it within 72 hours of purchase and receive a full refund. If you do so, you must agree to cease all use of the form. To return a form, forward your receipt to us at Coollawyer Support with "FORMS QUESTION" in the subject line. Due to our spam filters we may not receive the email without the proper subject line listing and be sure that your spam filter permits delivery of our reply.

Generally, these forms allow you to limit the dollar liability of your business in selling a product or providing a service, to waive warranties which are implied into sales of goods by law in the US and to own the work product of people you hire. Except for the corporate procedure forms, the forms are NOT state specific and you should always consult with an attorney in your state to make sure they apply in your jurisdiction and that the law has not changed.

For more details, read these articles:

Word 2000 is an older version of Word. Newer versions of Word should open a documents saved in an older version, although some of the formatting may be lost since MS Word versions are often not compatible with each other. Older versions of Word cannot open Word2000 documents. Mac users may have problems opening the Word documents. If you need assistance, contact us and we will email you a text, rtf or other version which may be opened in any word processing program.

Coollawyer Personal Attention

In most cases, Judith Silver, attorney at law, writes the forms and their instruction herself. Some times she has assistance from others in the formatting or editing process. Her personal attention means that the cost of developing the forms is higher and takes longer, but provides a higher quality product with:

• Consistent legal terms and terms in favor of the purchaser
• Consistent margins, fonts, look, title page, cover page
• Instructions which are consistent and clear
• Forms and instructions which are consistent with her legal opinion if should you decide to hire her as your attorney

Coollawyer Full Document Previews

Unlike some other sites, Coollawyer.com allows you to preview the form before purchase. This means that we also have a higher risk of stolen, hacked forms and lost sales, and therefore a higher cost of doing business.

Coollawyer E-Documents

Unlike other sites, Coollawyer Inc. distributes forms through online retail outlets like Amazon. These outlets require special formatting and compliance with the ISBN system which means it takes longer to create and format each form.

Republishing Public Information Without Addition

Some other forms' sites provide forms which are available for free from public sources and simply pass them through to the buyer without adding anything to the process, like instructions or help. Sites that provide forms for copyrighting, trademarking and patenting items are often providing the identical forms that are available for free from the US Copyright Office and Trademark and Patent Office. Sites that provide forms which show agreements between actual companies are providing the same information freely available to the public through the Securities and Exchange Commission online system.

Attorneys All Over

Certainly you've heard the expression "Too many cooks spoil the broth." Some other forms' sites hire attorneys in each state to write forms for them, so that there are over 50 authors to their forms (and cooks to their broth). Having so many different attorney authors spoils the broth -- their forms can be inconsistent in legal terms, formatting and opinion.

Some other sites also allow you to "speak to an attorney" in your state. If you speak to an attorney from these sites, it is unlikely that the attorney you speak to has written the forms you have purchased. Some times the attorney you speak to may not even recommend the language in the form you purchase. Unfortunately, most of these sites make their money based on high volume and low prices and do not encourage anything, like editing the forms, which would slow the sales process - even if it might be in your best interest.

To incorporate through this site, click on the incorporating tab. You may either go directly to our online incorporating partner Business Filings, or read the preliminary information on the process we have provided and then return to our site and click on their logo. We recommend that you review that information and then return to this page when you are ready to continue. Otherwise, you may simply click on the links from our site to Business Filings and you may incorporate, form an LLC or non-profit corporation online in any state. Within 1 to 2 weeks, you will receive your articles of incorporate and incorporation kit in the mail from them. You cannot form a limited partnership or limited liablity partnership online since state rules are very specific to these structures.

Incorporation means that your company is a separate legal and financial entity than yourself. It even has its own social security number for tax purposes which is called a Federal Tax ID. Most people incorporate to limit their personal liability so that their personal assets are not at risk for debts of the corporation. For example, if your company get sued and loses for copyright infringement or a claim by an employee, the winner of the suit cannot take your personal car or home. Also, if you plan to receive investment in your company, have employees, and grow to be more than a one man show, incorporation is an important step to promote these future goals.

A C corporation is the standard corporation formed. An S corporation is a tax, not legal, distinction made for tax purposes after incorporating within a short time period. You must have under 35 shareholders to be an S corporation.

LP means limited partnership. LLP means limited liability partnership. LLC means limited liability company. Each of these have meanings and rules which vary based on the state.

You should read through the information on this topic on Business Filings in the "Learn About Incorporating" section. Determine which state best meets your needs and then print out the requirements for that state so you can correctly complete them during the incorporation process and follow them in the future. For most situations, incorporating in your state will suffice.

Fees include Business Filings' service fees, agent for service fees (for hiring of a person to accept legal documents on behalf of the corporation which is required by law) and other optional services fees (getting your Federal Tax ID Number for you); state incorporation fees and state franchise taxes. State taxes and fees vary greatly between states (and can sometimes be very high in Delaware). Keep in mind that you will have to register your corporation as a foreign corporation doing business in any state in which you have an office and are not incorporated - these fees can add up also depending on how many offices you have. Typically the total for an average incorporation is $300 to $500.

What is cobranding? Cobranding is similar to an affiliate program, except that instead you receive a page of the code from our site to reproduce on your site inside the header or side frame of your site. Upon clicking, the system tracks that the user is from your site and you receive 20% revenue share from that. If you want to sign up as a cobrander of Coollawyer.com forms' store, then send an email to Coollawyer Support with that request. Upon approval, you will then be given a login code and password with url to go to the site and download a page of code to be posted.

If you wish to obtain a license to republish any content on the site, you must become a cobrander to do so. If so, please contact us at the above email address.

While we try, there are humans back here and there can be mistakes in the forms we sell. If you find one in a form you've purchased, please email us at Coollawyer Support to let us know and you will receive a form of your choice for free as a reward for your efforts. We greatly appreciate your help in making the site and products better and appreciate your patience.
