Union Beyond Walls, LLC
Effective Date: January 18, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of services provided by Union Beyond Walls, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By engaging our services, accessing our website, or otherwise interacting with us, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our services.
1. Services
Scope. Union Beyond Walls provides administrative coordination services for proxy marriages, including eligibility intake, collection and review of required documentation, coordination of marriage license handling only where legally authorized, facilitation of proxy marriages solemnized by a legally authorized officiant, and filing and return of completed marriage documentation (collectively, "Services").
Limitations. We do not provide legal advice, do not act as a law firm or government agency, do not represent that any particular result or approval will occur, and do not guarantee eligibility, approval, or any legal outcome. All Services are subject to applicable state law, statutory requirements, mandatory waiting periods, and third-party processes and approvals.
2. Acceptance; Contract Formation
Agreement. These Terms, together with any order form, fee schedule, statement of work, or confirmation (collectively, the "Order"), constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company concerning the Services.
Eligibility. By using the Services you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old, have full authority to enter into these Terms, and will comply with all applicable laws and procedures governing marriage in the relevant jurisdiction.
3. Service Tiers, Processing Times, and "Legal Eligibility"
Tiers. Services are offered in three paid tiers:
- Standard: Client obtains the marriage license themselves; service processed within seven (7) business days after legal eligibility.
- Priority: Company assists with license handling where legally authorized (may require a valid Power of Attorney); service processed within seventy-two (72) hours after legal eligibility.
- Expedited: Highest priority handling; service processed within twenty-four (24) hours after legal eligibility.
Legal Eligibility. "Legal eligibility" means that all statutory requirements for marriage have been satisfied, including any mandatory waiting period, and a valid marriage license is available for use in the applicable jurisdiction.
No Shortening of Legal Requirements. Processing times are internal performance targets and do not alter, shorten, or otherwise affect statutory waiting periods, government processing times, or any other legal requirements.
4. Power of Attorney
Requirement. Certain Services may require you to execute and deliver a valid Power of Attorney (POA) authorizing Company personnel or designated agents to act on your behalf with respect to limited administrative tasks (for example, license handling and document filing).
Scope. The Company will act only within the express scope of any POA provided and only to the extent permitted by controlling law. You acknowledge and agree that execution of a POA is voluntary and that Company is not a fiduciary unless separately agreed in writing.
Responsibility. You are solely responsible for the form, validity, and sufficiency of any POA and for confirming with the issuing authority that acceptance of a POA is permitted.
5. Fees, Payments, and Refunds
Fees. All Services are provided for a one-time, non-recurring fee as set forth in the applicable Order. Fees cover administrative coordination services only; they do not include governmental fees, third-party fees, taxes, or fees for legal advice.
Payment Authorization. You authorize Company to charge the payment method you provide. Payment must clear prior to performance of Services unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Refunds. Refunds are available only in the following limited circumstances:
- If, during our initial eligibility review, we determine you are ineligible to proceed and we cannot render Services; or
- If you cancel prior to commencement of document review and prior to the start of ceremony coordination.
Once document review or ceremony coordination has commenced, Services are non‑refundable. All refund determinations are at the Company's sole discretion consistent with these Terms.
Taxes. You are responsible for all applicable taxes associated with the purchase of Services, other than taxes on Company's net income.
6. Client Responsibilities
Accuracy and Completeness. You must provide all information and documentation that is true, accurate, complete, and submitted in a timely manner. Failure to supply required information may delay or prevent performance of Services and may affect refund eligibility.
Compliance. You are responsible for confirming and complying with all legal requirements applicable to your marriage and for securing any consents, clearances, or other documentation required by applicable law or third parties.
Communications. You consent to Company communications by email, SMS, telephone, and other reasonable channels for purposes of providing Services.
7. No Legal Advice; No Attorney‑Client Relationship
No Legal Advice. Company provides administrative services only and does not provide legal advice. Nothing in these Terms, on our website, or in communications with Company personnel shall be construed as legal advice.
No Attorney‑Client Relationship. Use of Services or communications with Company employees, contractors, or representatives does not create an attorney‑client relationship. If you require legal advice, you should consult an attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.
8. Third Parties and Government Authorities
Third‑Party Processors and Providers. Services may require use of third‑party processors (including payment processors), document storage providers, couriers, officiants, or government offices. Company is not responsible for delays, errors, or acts of such third parties.
Reliance on Government Actions. Many stages of the process require action or approval by government agencies. Company cannot control or guarantee the timing or outcome of any government action.
9. Representations and Warranties
Mutual. Each party represents that it has authority to enter into these Terms.
Client Representations. You represent and warrant that all information and documentation you provide is accurate, current, and complete, that you are legally eligible to marry in the applicable jurisdiction, and that any POA you provide is valid where required.
10. Limitation of Liability
Disclaimer of Certain Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Cap on Liability. EXCEPT FOR LIABILITY ARISING FROM WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BREACHES OF CONFIDENTIALITY OR DATA PROTECTION OBLIGATIONS, OR LIABILITY REQUIRED BY LAW, THE COMPANY'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO THE COMPANY UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
Allocation of Risk. You acknowledge that these allocations are an essential part of the bargain and that the Company would not provide Services without these limitations.
11. Indemnification
By Client. You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and contractors from and against any third‑party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your negligence or willful misconduct, (c) inaccurate or incomplete information or documentation you provide, or (d) your unauthorized use of a POA.
Procedure. The indemnified party will promptly notify the indemnifying party of any claim and cooperate in the defense. The indemnifying party will control the defense and settlement of the claim, provided that no settlement that admits fault or imposes obligations on the indemnified party may be made without the indemnified party's prior written consent.
12. Termination
By Company. Company may suspend or terminate Services and access for breach of these Terms, nonpayment, suspected fraud, inactivity, or where required by law or government order. Company may also refuse service at its discretion.
By Client. You may cancel Services in accordance with the Fees and Refunds section. Cancellation does not relieve you of obligations to pay for Services already rendered or non-refundable fees as set forth here.
Effect. Upon termination, Company will cease performing Services. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
13. Confidentiality and Data Protection
Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means nonpublic information disclosed by a party that is designated confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential. Company will treat client‑provided personal information and documentation as confidential and will use such information only to provide the Services and as otherwise permitted by these Terms and the Company's Privacy Policy.
Exceptions. Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is publicly known, independently developed, lawfully received from a third party, or required to be disclosed by law or court order (provided Company gives notice to you to the extent permitted).
14. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration
