1. About these website terms
These terms describe the permitted use of the Equitrace LLC website and its inquiry forms. Equitrace LLC is registered in California, United States. Please read these terms before using the website or submitting information.
These are website terms, not a funds-recovery service agreement. Browsing the website or sending an inquiry does not by itself appoint Equitrace as your representative, authorize work on a claim, or create an attorney-client relationship. Any engagement requires the applicable separate agreement. These website terms do not override mandatory legal rights or a signed service agreement.
2. Services and professional roles
Equitrace helps individuals and businesses explore potentially unclaimed funds, possible excess proceeds from tax sales, and potential tariff refunds. Website content is general information, not a determination that a particular person or business has an eligible claim.
Equitrace is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or perform legal work. For tariff refunds, Equitrace provides initial assistance; attorneys determine qualification and handle processing. Contact an appropriately qualified professional for legal, tax, or other advice specific to your circumstances.
3. Fees and service agreements
No upfront fees. We only get paid when you recover funds. The applicable contingency fee, its calculation, scope of work, and any other service-specific terms are set out in the separate agreement you review before moving forward.
Submitting a website inquiry does not require payment or commit you to an engagement. This website does not collect payment information or process payments. We do not state a universal fee percentage here because the applicable agreement and legal requirements control.
4. No promise of eligibility or recovery
Eligibility, available funds, amounts, timing, and outcomes depend on the facts, records, applicable rules, and decisions of the relevant authorities. Some inquiries will not lead to a claim or recovery. We do not guarantee qualification, a recovery, a particular amount, or a completion date.
Information may change, and general website explanations may not cover every situation. You should not rely on submitting an inquiry to preserve a filing deadline, appeal right, or other legal requirement.
5. Your inquiry and information
Provide accurate information and only information you are authorized to share. Do not submit Social Security numbers, bank or payment details, identification documents, confidential business records, or other sensitive documents through the website form.
An inquiry allows us to respond about the services you request; it is not a subscription to promotional messages. Our Privacy Policy explains how information is handled. If further documentation is needed, we explain an appropriate channel after you have reviewed any applicable agreement and contingency terms.
A submission confirmation means an inquiry has been accepted for email delivery, not that a claim has been accepted or reviewed. Delivery and responses may be delayed or unavailable. If the form reports an error or you need to check receipt, contact us directly by phone or email.
6. Responsible website use
You may use the website to learn about our services and make legitimate inquiries. Do not impersonate someone, submit fraudulent or unlawful material, send spam, interfere with the website, bypass security or submission limits, or attempt unauthorized access. We may limit abusive access or reject inappropriate submissions.
7. Content and third-party resources
The Equitrace name, logo, and website content belong to Equitrace LLC or their respective owners, as applicable. You may view and use the information for personal reference or legitimate business inquiries. These terms do not grant permission to misrepresent affiliation with Equitrace or reproduce protected material beyond what applicable law allows.
Third-party websites and services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control their content, availability, or decisions. A reference or link does not guarantee their suitability for your situation.
8. Availability and limits
We aim to keep the website useful and accurate, but do not promise uninterrupted access, error-free content, or successful delivery of every message. To the extent permitted by applicable law, general website information is provided “as is” and “as available.”
To the extent permitted by law, Equitrace is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising solely from use of, or inability to access, the website. This limitation does not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence. Duties and remedies for an actual engagement are governed by its separate agreement and applicable law.
9. Applicable law and updates
California law governs these website terms to the extent permitted by applicable law, without displacing non-waivable protections that apply to you. These website terms do not impose mandatory arbitration, waive class-action rights, or select an exclusive court.
We may revise these terms and will update the date above when we do. Any additional notice or agreement required by law will be provided. A website update does not retroactively change a signed service agreement.
