1. Not a Law Firm or Legal Service
StartCorp, Inc. is NOT a law firm, and the services we provide do NOT constitute legal advice, legal representation, or legal services. Our employees and representatives are not attorneys (unless specifically identified as such) and are not authorized to practice law or provide legal advice.
The information, tools, and guidance provided through our platform are for general informational and educational purposes only. They are not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal advice applicable to your specific situation.
2. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Your use of StartCorp's services does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and StartCorp, its employees, or any affiliated attorneys. Communications between you and StartCorp are not protected by attorney-client privilege.
If you need legal advice regarding your corporation, compliance obligations, or any other legal matter, you should consult with a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction who can evaluate your specific circumstances and provide appropriate legal counsel.
3. Information Accuracy
While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information about corporate compliance requirements, we cannot guarantee that all information on our platform is complete, accurate, current, or applicable to your specific situation. Laws, regulations, and filing requirements change frequently, and there may be delays in updating our platform to reflect these changes.
You should independently verify any compliance information before relying on it. We recommend checking directly with the relevant state agency or consulting with a qualified professional for the most current and accurate information.
