Terms of Membership

1 · The parties, and who sells this Membership

Your subscription contract is with Obuke LLC Series 3, doing business as EIN Without SSN ("we", "us", "the service"). Obuke LLC Series 3 is a series of Obuke LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. The assets of Obuke LLC Series 3 are held separately from the assets of Obuke LLC and of its other series, and the debts of Obuke LLC Series 3 are enforceable only against its own assets, to the extent provided by Wyoming law.

Filing work is placed through PNR Wholesale Services LLC, which engages Registered Agents Inc as its registered-agent fulfillment partner for the EIN obtainment order. The fulfiller acts as the third-party designee named on Form SS-4, never as your entity's responsible party. The responsible party on line 7a of Form SS-4 is always you.

2 · The service

The Membership is an EIN application preparation and filing assistance service for owners of already-formed United States entities whose responsible party has neither a Social Security number (SSN) nor an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).

At joining, the first term covers:

• Preparation of Form SS-4 from the facts you provide, and submission of that form to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as your third-party designee, with your designee authorisation on file.
• IRS timeline management: submission confirmation with route and date, tracking against the IRS-published window for your route, and status chasing when that window passes.
• Delivery of the IRS EIN confirmation notice (CP 575) into your document vault when the IRS assigns the number.

Each renewal buys only the ongoing services: annual Form 5472 and pro-forma Form 1120 cycle coordination, on the coordination-only basis described on the Fee Schedule; the document vault; tax-ID re-verification support; and the maintained deadline calendar. A renewal never re-buys the EIN.

The IRS issues the EIN, not us. We prepare and submit the application. Whether an EIN is issued, and when, is the IRS's decision, made on the IRS's timeline. We publish the IRS-published processing windows and track your application against them. We do not guarantee that an EIN will be issued, and we do not guarantee any issuance date. There is no express tier.

Eligibility. Your entity must already be formed before you join. This service does not form entities. At checkout you answer the verification declaration shown there, about non-U.S. citizenship or residence of the owners and majority foreign ownership, and that answer is part of your application record.

3 · What this service is not

• We are not the IRS and we are not affiliated with it. The EIN itself is free from the IRS, and you may file Form SS-4 yourself using the free guides on this site. The Membership price is for the work listed in section 2.
• We are not a law firm, and nothing in these Terms or on this site is legal advice.
• We provide no tax preparation and no tax advice. Cycle coordination is limited to the acts listed on the Fee Schedule: calendaring, reminders and status tracking; verbatim collection of the figures and documents you provide; completeness checks stated as facts about the file; transmittal of filings you have signed, as your designee; the document vault; and general education cited to IRS-published sources. We do not determine whether you have a filing duty, classify your transactions, compute figures, or sign any filing as preparer. Those questions are for your own qualified tax professional.
• The Membership includes no formation service, no registered-agent service sold on this site, and no mail service, mailbox, mail scanning, or mail forwarding.

4 · Price, minimum term, and renewal

Price. Annual plan: $249 per year. Monthly plan: $24 per month, with a 12-month minimum term. The total first-term commitment is $249 on the annual plan and $288 (12 payments of $24) on the monthly plan. Prices are in U.S. dollars.

Auto-renewal. The plan you select renews automatically until you cancel: the annual plan renews once a year at $249, and the monthly plan renews each month at $24, continuing month to month after its 12-month minimum term ends. Each renewal is charged to the payment method on file with the payment processor named in section 5. A renewal buys the ongoing services listed in section 2, and only those.

Express consent. Before billing begins, you give express consent to the recurring charge through the separate, unticked acknowledgment at checkout. No consent, no charge. The consent record kept with your account holds your email address, your plan, the terms version, the timestamp, and the state of that acknowledgment.

No silent changes. If a renewal would materially change the price or what the Membership includes, you receive advance notice and the changed charge is not taken without your renewed consent.

5 · Payment, and who charges your card

Payments are processed by Stripe. Card entry takes place on Stripe's secure checkout page. This site never sees or stores your full card number.

Interim processing account, stated plainly. Payments are processed by Stripe through the Stripe account of PA Registered Office Services LLC, as an interim arrangement until this business's own payment account is live. Because of that arrangement, your card statement will show PA CROP SERVICES. The interim processing account does not change who provides your service or who is responsible for it: your contract remains with Obuke LLC Series 3, as stated in section 1. We will notify you before the processing account changes.

If a payment fails or is reversed, the Membership may be treated as past due or ended under these Terms, and filing work that has not yet been placed will not proceed on an unpaid Membership.

6 · Your obligations

• Provide accurate and complete information for Form SS-4, including the entity's legal name exactly as formed and the responsible party's full legal name, and confirm the filing facts in your portal exactly as they should be submitted. The responsible party is a controlling individual of the entity, never a nominee, and never us.
• Use the service only for a lawful purpose and only for an entity you own or are authorised to act for.
• Complete identity verification within the window in section 7, and sign the filings that the annual cycle requires you to sign.
• Keep your delivery email address current, because receipts, confirmations, and verification reminders are sent by email.

Penalties or delays that arise because information you supplied was late, incomplete, or wrong are your responsibility. Where we submit a filing for you and it is rejected because of our error, correcting and resubmitting it is on us.

7 · Identity verification

Because every customer of this desk is a foreign owner, we verify identity before we file anything. After checkout, your portal will ask for a photo of a government ID (passport, national ID card, or driver's licence) for each owner and for the person who will be the entity's responsible party. No EIN submission work begins until verification is complete and your portal verification state reads Verified. You have 21 days from joining to complete verification, and reminders are sent on days 3, 7, and 14 of that window.

If verification cannot be completed, no filings will be made and your first Membership payment is refunded in full to the original payment method. How ID images are handled, and how long the verification record is kept, is stated in the Privacy Policy.

8 · Screening

Intake information, including your name, your entity's name, and your stated country and region of residence, is screened against the current OFAC sanctions lists before any charge is taken, and again before any filing. A verdict that is not clear stops the sale or the filing. Nothing is charged on a sale stopped at the screening gate. Screening is a check against a list on a date; a clear result is not a promise about any future check.

9 · Cancellation and refunds

How to cancel. You may cancel in your portal, on the subscription page, or by email to hello@einwithoutssn.com. No phone call is required. You receive written confirmation of your cancellation, stating its effective date.

When cancellation takes effect. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the term you have paid for. On the monthly plan, if the 12-month minimum term ends later, cancellation takes effect at the end of that minimum term. Your Membership services continue until the effective date and stop on that date, and no renewal charge is taken after it.

What cancellation does not do. Your EIN is issued once, in your first term. Once the IRS issues it, cancelling cannot un-issue it. Cancelling stops future services only (the annual cycle coordination, the document vault, re-verification support, and the maintained calendar). Your EIN and your entity are unaffected.

Refunds. Cancelling does not refund the price of the term already paid, because the services for that term remain available to you until its end. Two exceptions apply. First, the verification refund in section 7: if verification cannot be completed, your first payment is refunded in full. Second, charges in error: if a charge is taken in error after a confirmed cancellation, contact us at hello@einwithoutssn.com and that charge will be refunded.

10 · Liability and governing law

Our liability to you for any claim arising from this Membership is limited to the fees you paid for the service in the twelve months before the claim arose. Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential damages. Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law. These Terms are governed by the law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

11 · Changes to these Terms

If these Terms change materially, the change is a new offer for your next term: you receive advance notice, and no changed charge is taken without your renewed consent. The version in force for your current term is the version recorded with your consent at checkout.
