TERMS OF USE

UPDATED 01/26/22

This website is owned and operated by EZ DIVORCE INC. (“ezDivorce” “ezDivorce.com” or “we” or “our”). By visiting our website and accessing the information, resources, services, products, and tools we provide, you (“you” or “User”) understand and agree to accept and adhere to the following Terms of Use as stated in this policy (hereafter referred to as “User Agreement” or “Agreement” or “Terms of Use”), as well as our Privacy Policy. This website and services are available only to individuals who reside in the United States and are at least 18 years old.

About the ezDivorce Service. ezDivorce is an online service providing divorce preparation services (hereafter (the “service” or “services”) as an alternative to costly attorney services. Documents are prepared by our specialists based on the information provided by the User during the divorce questionnaire/intake and review process.

By using our website and services you acknowledge that;

  • ezDivorce is NOT a law firm and does NOT offer legal representation or advice;

 

Unless you are otherwise represented by an attorney, you represent yourself in any matter or proceeding undertaken in connection with your use of our service. Therefore, ezDivorce cannot provide any legal advice or assistance other than the preparation of divorce documents based on User input. Our services are provided for your private use and do not constitute legal advice. We do not review any information you provide to us for legal accuracy or sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide opinions about your selection of forms, or apply the law to the facts of your situation. If you need legal advice for a specific problem or legal matter, you should consult with a licensed attorney. Our service is not a substitute for legal advice from a qualified attorney licensed to practice in your jurisdiction. Accordingly, information you provide to us is not protected by the attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine;

  • The fees paid to ezDivorce do not include the court filing fees (as stated below) which are due to the court or county clerk’s office and are User's sole responsibility;

  • Use of ezDivorce to facilitate a legal divorce requires the consent and cooperation of both spouses, or in select cases where one spouse can be properly served and the served spouse does not file a response with the court or contest the divorce;

  • ezDivorce services are limited to the preparation of divorce documents based on the selections you make and information you provide through our online questionnaire;

  • ezDivorce does not file legal documents on your behalf. User is responsible for all filings as well as related filing fees;

  • ezDivorce provides documents to User via email and User is responsible to provide prepared documents to User's spouse (or to a process server in select Default cases);

  • The fees paid to ezDivorce cover the dissolution of one marriage only and, if unused, are not refundable nor transferable to any third-party; and

  • ezDivorce shall not be responsible for any liability, direct-damages or consequential damages arising from the use of our services.

Court Filing Fees. As noted above, our fee does not include the standard statutory divorce filing fees which may be paid directly to the court or county clerk’s office at the time of filing (ezDivorce provides you with easy-to-follow instructions detailing exactly how and where to file your divorce documents):

  • New York Filing Fees: $335 (or $365, depending on the county and specific case)

  • New Jersey Filing Fees: $300 (or $325 if there are minor children)

 

Prior-Agreement Fee. In cases where parties have a prior agreement such as a prenuptial, postnuptial, or settlement agreement that needs to be incorporated as part of the divorce documents, we may assess a minimal fee of $99 to review and analyze the agreement.

Document Revisions. Your divorce documents are prepared by document preparation specialists. Each file requires a substantial time commitment by our specialists. A change in one document may necessitate a change in multiple documents. Therefore, in the event that you require updates or revisions to your documents (not due to errors or omissions on our part) after our initial review phone call, an additional service fee of $150 will be due prior to re-drafting the documents. This service fee will also apply in the event revisions that are not due to any error or omission on our part are required by the court. 

Guarantee. At ezDivorce, we stand behind our service. We offer a 100% money-back guarantee in the event that your divorce is rejected by the court due to an error or omission on our part and we are unable to resolve the outstanding defect.

Please note that our guarantee does not apply in the following events:

  • Inaccurate or false information provided by User during the divorce questionnaire/intake process;

  • Omissions by User during the divorce questionnaire/intake process;

  • Failure of either party to properly execute the documents prepared by ezDivorce;

  • Untimely filing and/or submission of documents;

  • User’s failure to file documents provided by ezDivorce within 3 months of receipt;

  • Improperly executed or filed documents;

  • In the event that User edits or changes language in documents provided by ezDivorce;

  • In the event that User changes his/her contact information and does not notify ezDivorce;

  • Failure to properly follow filing instructions;

  • In the event that User’s divorce becomes contested;

  • Court raises issues related to custody of the children or child support;

  • Court denies relief requested as a result of any prior or current legal record or family offense history of either of the parties;

  • Judgment denied based on either party’s failure to comply with custody, spousal, or child support requirements, including, without limitation, failure to comply with applicable state support requirements, including any interim requirements; and

  • Failure to respond to court notices.

Arbitration Provision. Please read this section carefully, as it affects your rights.

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing our Customer Service at support@www.ezdivorce.com.

However, if ezDivorce is not able to resolve a dispute with you after attempting to do so informally, then as a condition to your

use of the services we mutually agree to resolve such dispute through binding arbitration under the auspices of JAMS Alternative Dispute Resolution (“JAMS”). JAMS will administer any such arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the New York (NY), or any other

location as to which we may then mutually agree. A party seeking arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of dispute.

Any notice to ezDivorce should be addressed to: ezDivorce Inc., 972 Route 45, Pomona, NY 10970, Attention: General Counsel. Any notice to you shall be sent to your address as set forth in ezDivorce’s records of account or such other legal address as ezDivorce is able to identify.

You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed.

Notwithstanding our Agreement to arbitrate our disputes as provided above, the following exceptions will apply to the resolution of disputes between us:

  • Either you or ezDivorce may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in New York, NY or in any United States county where you live or work without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

  • ezDivorce may bring a lawsuit against you in any court of competent jurisdiction solely for injunctive relief to stop any unauthorized use or abuse of the services without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

  • ezDivorce may bring a lawsuit against you in any court of competent jurisdiction solely for injunctive relief to stop any intellectual property infringement without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

  • In the event that the Agreement to arbitrate provided herein is found to be inapplicable or unenforceable for any reason,

  • then as a condition to your use of the services we agree that any resulting judicial proceedings will be brought in the federal or state courts of New York, New York, and by your use of the services you expressly consent to venue and personal jurisdiction of the courts therein.

Modification of Terms of Use. ezDivorce may, in the future, make changes to these provisions regarding dispute resolution and arbitration by providing notice in accordance with the section of these Terms entitled “Modifications of Terms of Use” below.

You may reject any changes made during your use of our services by sending us written notice. Such notice must be given within thirty (30) calendar days of the notice of modification to the following address:

ezDivorce Inc., 972 Route 45, STE 205, Pomona, NY 10970, Attention: General Counsel.

Our Terms of Use can easily be located on the footer of each page of ezdivorce.com. We reserve the right to amend this Agreement from time to time without notice, and we encourage you to frequently check this page for any changes to this Agreement.

Your continued use of this site and service after such modifications will constitute acknowledgment and agreement of the modified terms and conditions.
