You are presented with a range of choices during the ordering process. It is your responsibility to ensure you read and fully understand these choices before proceeding with any purchase. Should you have any queries regarding our products and/or services, or any aspect of your order, we strongly recommend that you contact us during our usual US business hours prior to proceeding with any purchase. Whilst we endeavour to provide a prompt response to your enquiry, we cannot guarantee to do so in every instance. It therefore remains your responsibility to elicit further information from us regarding the product you intend to order before the order is placed.
All orders that you place through this Website are deemed to be an offer by you to purchase the products and/or services that we supply, subject to these Terms and Conditions and our acceptance of the order. We may choose to reject any order without disclosing our reason for doing so.
We only provide services on the basis that you have given us full and proper instructions and the authority to lawfully carry out those instructions. You undertake to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide for us, and you accept all liability for the rejection of any services or documents due to inaccuracies or incompleteness.
We do not accept any liability of whatever nature for errors or omissions in documents that are uploaded, or not uploaded, to our website by you, or for any such documents which are subsequently rejected by Companies House.
Where orders are made for our Pre-Submission Review, this review will not extend to reviewing or inspecting documents uploaded to our website - it is your responsibility to ensure completeness, compliance and accuracy of all such documents prior to their submission.
By accepting these terms and conditions, you are granting us authorisation to file with Companies House as an authorised person for, and on behalf of, the company, the statutory forms required to implement the services you are agreeing to take under this agreement for the full term of the agreement. If said services are cancelled, terminated, or shall expire as a result of failing to make the required payment, you are granting us authorisation to file the statutory forms required to terminate these services.

We are regulated by the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Amendment) Regulations 2019 and by accepting these Terms and Conditions you are granting us authority to carry out a digital ID verification check by CreditSafe or similar organisation for the purposes of checking your identity and address. This online check may be recorded on your credit record, and a record of the search will be retained.
Should we not be able to successfully verify your identity and address using our digital ID verification process, we will require you to provide proof of your identity and address in the form of certified copies of the original documents to satisfy our Anti-Money Laundering procedures. Failure to comply with any request for such documents may result in the cancellation of services.
As a Company Service Provider we have a responsibility to carry out due diligence checks from time to time on our customers (companies, officers and shareholders) to which we provide ongoing services. Should any of our checks result in the discovery of illegal or unethical activities, we reserve the right to terminate services without notice and without refund.
We also have an obligation to meet the requirements of 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) and you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire on the business activity or activities of your company and the reason for your business relationship with MINA COMPANIES, LLC
All incorporation orders that include an overseas corporate entity within the structure shall be subject to an additional compliance review (an “Overseas Compliance Review”) undertaken by ourselves for the purposes of identifying the ultimate beneficial owner(s) of the corporate entity. As part of this review, the customer will be required to provide all necessary documentation we decide necessary to enable us to identify the ownership structure of the overseas corporate entity and to satisfy ourselves of any individual(s) that require an identity verification check as required under the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Amendment) Regulations 2019. Any ultimate beneficial owners that are identified as part of the Overseas Compliance Review will be required to undergo identity verification in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. The Overseas Compliance Review shall incur an additional fee for the time spent charged at an hourly rate of $110 plus VAT and billed in increments of 15 minutes with a minimum charge of $27.50 plus VAT per incorporation (the “Overseas Compliance Review Fee”). On completion of the Overseas Compliance Review, the Fee shall be automatically charged to the customer using your payment card details stored on our system. This Overseas Compliance Review Fee is non-refundable, including where we have not been able to confirm the identity of the overseas corporate entity’s ultimate beneficial owner(s); however, the fee for the company formation package will be refunded in accordance with our refunds policy.
Our services are not available for purchase where the end user is a Scottish Limited Partnership (Scottish LP). All such purchases will be refunded and the services will not be set up.
By purchasing a service(s), you agree to supply us with the company’s authentication code. Where we do not have this code, we will request it from Companies House.
A company to whom we are supplying our services, without an authentication code, may have their services cancelled due to our inability to carry out compulsory annual monitoring in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Any services cancelled for this reason shall not be entitled to a refund.

2.5 Incorporation process

MINA COMPANIES, LLC is a specialist online company formation agent. We use secure electronic filing facilities that are made available from Companies House - the UK Registrar of Companies. By choosing to register a company through us, or authorising us to file information on your behalf, you accept that all information will be submitted to Companies House via this electronic filing facility.
Provided you have complied with the formalities necessary to register a company through us, Companies House will generally complete the incorporation of your company within approximately 3 to 6 working hours (Monday - Friday, 9am-5pm), however, in some cases it could take up to 24 hours - dependent on Companies House workload. We have no control over this process; therefore, it may take longer than the usual processing time of 3 to 6 working hours.
We offer no guarantee your company application will be approved on the same business day as you make your order. If it is important that your company is incorporated on the same day as you make your order, we recommend you purchase the Guaranteed Same-Day Service, which is available as an additional service on our checkout page, up to 3pm Monday - Friday.
If we cannot submit a company application to Companies House because you have omitted information, provided incorrect information, or we require further information to allow us to do so, we will make every attempt to contact you multiple times to obtain the information required to submit your company application to Companies House. Should we not manage to rectify this matter within 7 calendar days of your order being placed, we reserve the right to remove your company application information from our system after this time.

After the expiry of 7 days, unclaimed mail will be securely destroyed.

Where we do not have an address on file that can be used as a registered office address and we file an RP07, it is your sole responsibility to provide a new address to Companies House within the relevant timeframe to avoid any strike off action being taken against the company. We shall have no liability whatsoever in relation to any strike off whether actual or proposed.
Multiple companies cannot use a single address service. If you require an address service for multiple companies, you require purchasing a separate service for each company.
When purchasing our Business Address Service, you will be provided with the option of Scan and Email delivery (i.e. our 'Digital Business Address Service'), or mail forwarding by post, by an email sent to you by us after purchase. Should you not reply to this email, your delivery method will be set to mail forwarding by post as default. Where a bank card is to be forwarded outside of the UK as part of this service, this will be sent by Royal Mail International Signed or International Tracked and charged at the respective rate, dependent on the service available in the country of delivery.
With regards our Business Address Services, each company can have a maximum of one other trading name, which cannot be another limited company, or a trading name associated with another limited company. Post will not be forwarded for trading names unless prior agreement has been sought and received by the customer, and mail for trading names we have not entered into agreement for, will be returned to sender on the same day it is received.
We will handle parcels as defined by Royal Mail, as being an item weighing over 750grams or in excess of 353 x 250mm in size; however, we will not accept or handle any items weighing more than 5kg or larger than 500 x 500mm in dimension. This limit is imposed because we are a mail-forwarding service and do not have the storage facilities to store large parcels.
Should we receive mail returned to ourselves which has previously been forwarded by ourselves to the forwarding address we have on file for the customer, we will contact the customer to clarify the forwarding address we have on file. Any returned mail which is subsequently re-sent by post to the customer will be charged at Royal Mail postal rates + 15%, unless we are satisfied an error has been made by ourselves.
With regards our Digital Business Address service, any mail containing a cheque, bank card or other item deemed to be of value, as well as any item of mail larger than A4 size, will be forwarded to you by post. Mail forwarding is charged at Royal Mail postal rates plus 15% handling fee.
Regarding our Digital Business Address service, all original copies of your mail will be securely stored for a period of 7 days, during which time you will be able to request they are forwarded to you by Royal Mail post, at a charge of Royal Mail postal rates plus 15%. After the expiry of 7 days, unclaimed mail will be securely destroyed.
If we forward mail to you by courier, we will require taking payment in advance. A receipted invoice will be raised and forwarded to you immediately after payment is taken. The acceptance of these Terms and Conditions means you are granting us authority to take payment using your payment card details stored on our system. In the event the cost to forward an item by courier is substantial, we may contact you to seek your approval before processing the item. Please note: Our 15% handling fee also applies to courier deliveries.

The acceptance of these Terms and Conditions means you are granting us authority to take payment using your payment card details stored on our system.
In the event we are unable to deliver an item of mail or where advance payment is required and we are unable to take advance payment, we will contact you by email, telephone or post and request your assistance. If we do not receive a response within 30 days we reserve the right to return the item to sender or dispose of it, as appropriate.
Where a customer possesses a negative account balance, we reserve the right to hold mail for any of our address services from being sent to the customer, until such time as the amount of the account balance owed is paid. The customer will be notified by email if an item of mail is held because they possess a negative account balance. Mail held for this reason will be held for 30 days. If the customer has not paid the negative account balance within 30 days, the item of mail will either be returned to sender, or it will be destroyed if we would incur a charge to return the item of mail to the sender.
If a customer purchases a Registered Office or Service Address Service from us, it is the customer's responsibility to ensure the correct address for the company is showing on Companies House for their registered office or service address. When an address service is not purchased as part of an incorporation package, we accept no liability for updating your company's addresses at Companies House.
Regarding our Business Address Service, where a parcel is received for a customer and the forwarding address is outside of the UK, the customer permits the company to open the parcel to estimate the value of the contents, before resealing the parcel, in order to complete the necessary CN22 customs form to send a parcel outside of the UK. In instances where we cannot accurately estimate the value of the contents of the parcel, we will contact the customer requesting the value of the contents, and will only forward the parcel upon receiving a response from the customer. Should we receive no contact from the customer within 30 days regarding the value of the contents, the parcel will be returned to sender.
To ensure limited companies using our address services comply with the London Local Authorities Act 2007, customers should ensure they do not provide our registered office address for business purposes to third parties if they do not have an active Business Address Service with us. Any general business mail received for companies that do not have an active business address service will be held for 30 days or until a business address service is purchased. After 30 days, the mail will be returned to the sender if the business address is not purchased.

If you have asked us to file a Companies House form that triggers an associated filing fee and Companies House rejects the application for any reason, then we shall have no obligation to return to you any Companies House fees or any transaction fees incurred pursuant to that rejection.
Our services in section 7(a) do not negate the statutory obligations of the directors of your company under the Companies Act 2006. It remains the responsibility of the directors of your company to ensure that all statutory registers of the company are a true and accurate representation of your company’s position.
It is your responsibility to ensure that we are informed of all transactions or changes that occur to your company, and that all required information pertaining to said transactions or changes, that occur to your company that necessitate the statutory registers to be amended.
If we do not receive the required information, or are not told of changes that have occurred to your company, we will not be responsible for any delay caused as a result. If additional work is required to correct or compensate for a mistake made as a result of incomplete or otherwise incorrect information or action on your part, we may charge you a reasonable additional sum for that work.
If we require any information or action from you in order to provide our services, we will inform you of this as soon as is reasonably possible.
If you are an existing customer and we are providing an appointed company secretary service, we reserve the right to resign the company secretary as an officer of your company, and to withdraw or suspend our services without disclosing our reason for doing so or incurring any liability to you.
Nothing in these terms and conditions or the services provided by us overrides your obligations or the duties imposed on you to deliver documents to Companies House or HMRC in a timely manner, and although we may send reminders to you about filing requirements, we have no liability in respect of determining when filings should take place and what content should be filed.
We will send any transactional documents that we produce at your request (for example, in accordance with section 7(a)(iii) of these terms and conditions) to the relevant person(s) electronically via DocuSign for execution. Unless informed otherwise, we shall assume that your company permits the execution of documents electronically.
Electronic copies of executed share certificates or membership certificates (whichever is applicable) will be provided to you following any transaction for which the documentation has been drafted by ourselves (for example, following the completion of an issue of shares drafted in line with section 7(a)(iii) of these Terms and Conditions). We recommend that you only circulate hard copies of these share certificates or membership certificates. We shall not be liable for any damages or liability incurred if you circulate these share certificates or membership certificates electronically.
Where we are appointed as your company's company secretary, you acknowledge and agree that:
1. we shall act in accordance with the instructions of the directors
2. it shall be the responsibility of the directors to provide us promptly with all information that is required for us to make all filings at Companies House on behalf of the company and the general maintenance of the statutory registers of the company
3. we shall not be liable for any fines imposed on officers of the company for a breach of the Companies Act 2006, arising from any late or missed filing with Companies House relating to the company in circumstances where we have not been provided by the directors with the information required to be included with such filing in the timescale provided to make that filing set out in the Companies Act 2006.
You shall indemnify us against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including but not limited to any fines relating to a breach of the Companies Act 2006, and all interest, penalties and legal costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis) and all other reasonable professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by us as an officer of your company arising out of or in connection with:
1. any failure of the directors to comply with the obligations imposed on officers of the company under the Companies Act 2006
2. any failure of the directors to provide us promptly with the information to make any required filings with Companies House or
3. any fines imposed on the officers of the company in respect of late or missed filings required to be made under the Companies Act 2006 relating to your company
This indemnity shall not cover us to the extent that a claim under it results from our negligence or wilful misconduct.

8. Changes to goods and services

The price of any goods or service that you may purchase from us is set out under the option you select on our Website. Unless otherwise stated, all prices exclude VAT at the prevailing rate on the date of purchase.
Subject to clause 10 below, the total purchase price, including VAT (if any), will be displayed in your shopping cart prior to your confirming the order.
We reserve the right to update the prices on the Website of any products or services without prior notice or explanation. Every effort is made to ensure that all prices are correct; however, in the event of serious error, any transaction shall be voided by us, entitling you to a full refund.
We reserve the right to update, amend, or withdraw the products and services that we offer on our Website without prior notice or explanation.
We shall not be liable to anyone for withdrawing or amending any of the products we sell, or for refusing or failing to process an order.

9. Continuous payment authorisation

Your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions means you are granting us continuous payment authority of the card used to purchase the original service (or an alternative one, if supplied), for the following:
- Renewable services - fees due will be processed on the card originally used to purchase the service (or an alternative, if supplied) on the date of expiry. Notice will always be given in advance of expiry date of our intention to take payment, and you will have the right to cancel the service.
- Mail forwarding services - the cost of postage and handling fees will be taken on the card used to purchase the service (or an alternative if supplied) but will be processed automatically on a monthly basis.
Your total price will include the price of the product plus any applicable VAT (in effect on the day of purchase).

10. Price Variation in relation to Companies House fees

If you have purchased a renewable service, and Companies House fees increase on or before the date that your application/filing is submitted, we will be entitled to recover the increase in fee from you by charging the primary card we have on file. We will charge you for this amount before the date of the relevant filing/application. The increase in fee will also apply to all subsequent renewals of the service and will be added to the price of your subscription upon your next renewal.
If you have purchased a one-off service and Companies House fees increase, we will be entitled to pass on this increase to you and will charge you the difference in Companies House fee between the date you purchased the service and the date your application/filing is made. We will do this by charging the card we have on file.
For the avoidance of doubt, these provisions apply to all services regardless of whether they are expressed to include the Companies House fee. Where Services are expressed to include this fee, all references are to the Companies House fee at the date of your purchase and we shall be entitled to charge any increase in fee in accordance with the above terms.

11. Fraud prevention

Your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions means you are granting us authorisation to undertake a search by CreditSafe or similar organisation for the purposes of verifying your identity and address. To do so, CreditSafe or similar organisation may check the details you supply against any particulars on any database (public or otherwise) to which they have access. They may also use your details in the future for verification purposes to assist other companies. A record of all searches will be retained.

12. Refund policy

12.1 Company formation orders

In the event that you make a purchase of a company formation package but change your mind prior to the submission of the company details to Companies House, we will refund all monies paid to us, provided your written request for a refund is received within 14 days of the date of purchase.
Refunds cannot be given for the company formation package or any parts of the company formation package, once the company application has been submitted to Companies House, even if your company formation is rejected.

13. Force Majeure

In connection with the supply of any goods or services ordered by you through the Website, by phone or by email, we shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any of our obligations if the delay or failure results from events or circumstances outside our reasonable control. Such circumstances include – though are not limited to - acts of God, strikes; lock outs; accidents; war; acts of terrorism; fire; or failure of any communications, telecommunications or computer system. We shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of our obligations to you (to the extent we owe any such obligations) should a Force Majeure event occur.
If a Force Majeure event to which this clause applies does occur, we agree to notify you as soon as practicable. If the Force Majeure event continues for more than 14 days, either party shall have the right to cancel the agreement. Where services have been paid for in advance but have not been rendered, you will be entitled to a full refund from the date of cancellation for all such services.
This clause shall not apply to, and a Force Majeure event shall not include, an increase in Companies House fees. Where this happens, clause 10 of the Specific Terms and Conditions shall apply.
