Terms of Service

Last updated: June 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Inksent Signing Services (“Inksent,” “we,” “us”). By placing an order, submitting an application, checking a box indicating acceptance, or otherwise using our website or services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. What we do

Inksent is a dispatch and coordination service. We match independent notary signing agents (“Signing Agents”) to signing appointments requested by clients (title companies, escrow officers, lenders, and similar parties). Inksent is not a law firm, is not a notary, and does not itself perform notarizations or provide legal, financial, or escrow advice. Signing Agents are independent contractors, not employees or agents of Inksent.

2. For clients

  • Our fee is as quoted at the time of order (currently a flat rate per signing) unless otherwise agreed in writing.
  • Payment is due within 30 days of a completed signing. Past-due amounts may accrue reasonable late fees and collection costs.
  • You are responsible for providing accurate, complete, and lawful signing details, documents, and signer information, and for ensuring you have the right to share them.
  • You are responsible for reviewing executed documents for completeness. Inksent does not prepare, review, or opine on the substance of your documents.

3. Best-efforts service; no guarantee

We use commercially reasonable efforts to confirm a Signing Agent quickly and to provide backup coverage if an agent cancels. However, timing estimates (including any “30-minute” reference), availability, and coverage in a given location or time are targets, not guarantees. We do not guarantee that any particular signing will be staffed, completed, or completed on time. Closings depend on many third parties outside our control.

4. For Signing Agents

  • Signing Agents are independent contractors. You control how and whether you accept and perform work, set your own schedule, use your own equipment and transportation, and are free to work for others. You are responsible for your own taxes, expenses, and insurance.
  • You must maintain a valid notary commission and all certifications, background checks, and insurance you represent to us, and comply with all applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which you are commissioned.
  • Compensation is per completed signing, paid by your selected method. Earnings of $600 or more in a calendar year are reported on Form 1099-NEC; valid tax information is required before payment.
  • Your separate Independent Contractor Agreement also applies and controls in the event of any conflict regarding the Signing Agent relationship.

5. Independent professional responsibility

Signing Agents are solely responsible for performing notarizations and signings in compliance with applicable law. Signing Agents must not provide legal advice or engage in the unauthorized practice of law. Inksent is not responsible for the independent professional conduct, acts, errors, or omissions of Signing Agents, who are not employees or agents of Inksent.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

The service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Inksent’s total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to the service or these Terms shall not exceed the fees actually paid to Inksent for the specific signing giving rise to the claim. Inksent shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, or for lost profits, lost business, delayed or failed closings, or loss of data, even if advised of the possibility. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in that case the limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted.

8. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Inksent and its owner, contractors, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the service; (b) your documents, content, or signer information; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; and (d) for Signing Agents, your acts, errors, omissions, or professional conduct.

9. Confidentiality & data

Both parties will protect non-public personal and transaction information accessed through the service and use it only to perform the signing. Signing Agents must safeguard borrower documents and information and return or destroy them as instructed. Our handling of data is described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The parties will attempt to resolve disputes informally first; any unresolved dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California, and you consent to that jurisdiction and venue.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes take effect when posted; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
