These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of all services, products, and technology provided by Venkata S Nauduri, a commissioned Virginia Notary Public (Commission #00272133), RON authorized, operating as Notary4Notary ("we," "us," or "our") through our website at notary4notary.com and any associated platforms. By accessing our website, booking a service, purchasing a course, or using our platform in any capacity, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our services.

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing notary4notary.com, scheduling an appointment, completing a booking form, purchasing a training course, or using any feature of our platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Notary4Notary.

If you are using our services on behalf of a business, organization, or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" shall refer to that entity.

2. Services provided

Notary4Notary provides the following services:

All notarization services are performed by Venkata S Nauduri, a Virginia Commissioned Notary Public, or by authorized notaries using the Notary4Notary platform. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Notarization confirms the identity of signers and the witnessing of signatures — it does not constitute legal review or approval of document content.

3. Eligibility requirements

To use our notarization services you must:

We reserve the right to verify eligibility before or during any session. Failure to meet eligibility requirements will result in refusal or termination of the notarization session without refund of any booking fee.

4. Appointments and scheduling

All appointments are subject to availability and confirmation. Booking an appointment does not guarantee notarization — it reserves a time slot for the session. The notarization is completed only after all legal requirements are satisfied, including identity verification and document review.

Cancellations: Cancellations made more than 24 hours before a scheduled appointment will receive a full credit toward a future session. Cancellations within 24 hours of the appointment may be subject to a cancellation fee equal to the session fee. No-shows forfeit the session fee.

Late arrivals: Sessions will be held for 10 minutes past the scheduled start time. After that, the session may be rescheduled and a rebooking fee may apply.

Technical failures: If a RON session cannot be completed due to platform or technology failure on our end, you will receive a full credit for rescheduling at no additional cost. Technical failures on the client side (poor internet, non-functioning camera, etc.) are not grounds for refund.

5. Fees and payment

Our fee schedule is posted on our website and is subject to change with notice. Current notarization fees start at $15 per notarial act. Platform subscription fees, course pricing, and enterprise licensing fees are as listed on the relevant pages at the time of purchase.

Payment methods accepted: Stripe (credit/debit card), PayPal, and Zelle. All payments are processed securely. We do not store full payment card details on our servers.

Zelle and PayPal payments: Manual payment methods (Zelle, PayPal) require verification before service is activated. Access to services is not granted until payment is confirmed by our team. Submitting a payment claim without completing the actual payment constitutes fraud and may result in legal action.

Refunds: Course purchases are non-refundable once course content has been accessed. Notarization session fees are non-refundable after a session has been successfully completed. Enterprise licensing fees are governed by the applicable enterprise agreement. We reserve the right to issue refunds at our discretion in cases of technical failure or error on our part.

Chargebacks: Initiating an unjustified chargeback after receiving services constitutes a breach of these Terms and may result in suspension of your account and recovery of fees including any chargeback penalties.

6. Client obligations

By using our services, you agree to:

Violation of any client obligation may result in immediate termination of the session, refusal of future services, and reporting to appropriate authorities where required by law.

8. Training courses and digital products

Notary4Notary offers online training courses and educational content for notary professionals. By purchasing a course, you agree to the following:

9. Enterprise and white-label services

Enterprise licensing, white-label platform deployment, and business-to-business services are subject to a separate Enterprise Master Agreement executed between Notary4Notary and the client organization. These Terms apply to enterprise clients to the extent not superseded by the Enterprise Master Agreement.

Key enterprise terms include:

Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership interest in our intellectual property. Any unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of our intellectual property is prohibited and may result in legal action.

As a commissioned notary public, we have both the right and in certain circumstances the legal obligation to refuse notarization. We may refuse service when:

Refusal of service does not entitle you to a refund of any session fee already collected if the session was initiated and terminated due to a client-side issue.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Notary4Notary and Venkata S Nauduri shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising from or related to your use of our services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to these Terms or our services shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total fees you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) $500.

We do not guarantee that:

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or liability for incidental damages, so these limitations may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification

Informal resolution: Before initiating any formal dispute process, you agree to contact us at info@notary4notary.com and provide a written description of the dispute. We will attempt to resolve the issue within 30 days of receiving your notice.

Arbitration: If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or our services shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The arbitration shall take place in Fairfax County, Virginia. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.

Exceptions: Either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm. Claims of intellectual property infringement may be brought in court without first going to arbitration.

Class action waiver: You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the dispute between us individually. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

Small claims: Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in Fairfax County, Virginia if the claim qualifies.

Your continued use of our services after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must discontinue use of our services. We recommend checking this page periodically for updates.

18. Governing law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent court proceedings are permitted under these Terms, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Our notarial acts are performed under the authority of Virginia notary law (Va. Code § 47.1-1 et seq.) and the Virginia RON Act. Federal law governs aspects of our services including electronic signatures (ESIGN Act), consumer financial privacy (GLBA), and identity verification (PATRIOT Act).

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
