TERMS OF USE

Acceptance of Terms

USAGreenCardLottery.Org ("Corporation"), through our website www.usagreencardlottery.org (the "Website"), provides assistance with filling out certain immigration forms, and thereafter provides the filled out forms with the original Government instructions as an end product, as well as general immigration related information and products (referred to hereafter as the "Service"), subject to the following Terms of Use (the "Terms"), which may be updated by Corporation from time to time. Corporation will provide notice of materially significant changes to the Terms by posting notice on the Website. Notwithstanding the forgoing, discretion regarding the contents of any particular field, as well as the whole form, relies solely and exclusively with you.

By using the Service in any way, you are agreeing to comply with these Terms. In addition, when using the Website and the Service, you agree to abide by any applicable posted guidelines for all of Corporation's services, which may change from time to time. Should you object to any term or condition of these Terms, any guidelines, or any subsequent modifications thereto or become dissatisfied with Corporation or the Website in any way, your only recourse is to immediately discontinue use of the Website.

YOU AGREE THAT BY USING THIS SERVICE YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE AND YOU ARE LEGALLY ABLE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

As stated above, Corporation reserves the right, at any time, to change the Terms by publishing notice of such changes on the Website. Any use of the Services by you after Corporation's publication of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as modified. You agree that Corporation is permitted to access and use any other information provided by you to perform the Service and, if necessary, to access such information to obtain contact information in order to provide notifications relating to the Service provided to you.

The completed application is merely a part of the Website. One of the primary advantages of the Website is educating you about the process and requirements of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service and U.S. Department of State applications. The Website provides a highly user friendly and interactive "do-it yourself" service that guides you through the application preparation process. The payment is received in exchange for the use of this service. This Website is not intended to create any attorney-client relationship, and by using this Website no attorney-client relationship will be created with Corporation. Instead, you are representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake through the Website's Services.
