Short, because the service is.

1. Who we are, and who we are not

EIN Route is a trading name of QOLOR LTD, a private company registered in England & Wales, number [00000000], registered office 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. We are not the Internal Revenue Service and are not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting for the IRS or any government body. An EIN can be obtained free of charge directly from the IRS. You are paying us to prepare, file and follow up the application on your behalf.

We are not lawyers, accountants or tax advisers. Nothing we say or write is tax or legal advice. Where we mention forms, deadlines or penalties, we are pointing you at public IRS information, not advising you on your own situation.

2. What you are buying

One application for one Employer Identification Number for one legal entity that already exists. Specifically we will:

• prepare Form SS-4 from the information and documents you give us;
• check the entity name you give us against the formation document you upload;
• ask you to sign the SS-4 electronically, naming us as third-party designee;
• submit the application to the IRS, through the channels the IRS provides for applicants without an SSN, within one business day of your signature;
• keep trying for up to 30 days, updating you at least every two business days;
• email you the EIN, the annotated SS-4 and a confirmation letter as PDFs when the IRS issues the number;
• send the IRS any confirmation copy it asks for after issuance.

We do not form companies, obtain ITINs, open bank accounts, file tax returns or give advice on any of those things.

3. Third-party designee

By signing the SS-4 you authorise us to receive your EIN from the IRS and to answer the IRS's questions about the application. This authority is limited to this application and ends automatically when the EIN is issued. We act only on the information you give us in writing. We will never use a Social Security Number or ITIN belonging to anyone in connection with your application.

4. Your responsibilities

• The information you give us must be true, complete and match your formation documents.
• The responsible party named on the form must be a real individual who owns or controls the entity — normally you.
• The entity must not already have an EIN. If you are not sure, ask us before signing.
• You must be entitled to sign for the entity.

If the IRS rejects the application because information you gave us was wrong, we will re-file once at no charge after you correct it. If we cannot verify that the entity exists or that you control it, we may decline the order and refund you in full.

5. Timing

We promise to file within one business day of your signature. We do not and cannot promise when the IRS will issue the number; typical outcomes range from the same day to several weeks. Our business days follow the IRS, Monday to Friday excluding US federal holidays.

6. Price and payment

The price shown at checkout is the full price. Payment is taken by Stripe in pounds sterling; your card issuer may apply its own conversion. There are no recurring charges.

7. Refunds

See our refund policy, which forms part of these terms. In short: full refund if the IRS does not issue an EIN; full refund on request before we file; no refund after issuance.

8. Liability

Our total liability to you in connection with an order is limited to the amount you paid for that order. We are not liable for decisions taken by banks, payment platforms, marketplaces, tax authorities or any other third party, or for loss of profit or opportunity. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

9. Data

We handle your information as described in our privacy notice. We delete your documents and personal data 90 days after delivery.

10. Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If something goes wrong, tell us first — we would much rather fix it than argue about it.
