TERMS OF SERVICE AGREEMENT
This Terms of Service Agreement ("Agreement") is made between Kelly Registration
Systems, Inc. ("Company") and any person or entity (collectively "you", "your” or "I") who
completes the registration or submission process to use Company’s transaction processing
service (the "Service").
BY CLICKING ON “I ACCEPT” OR ACCESSING OR USING ANY PART OF THE SERVICE AVAILABLE
THROUGH THIS WEBSITE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY LOCATED AT
www.kellysolutions.com and
www.krsnetwork.com (“WEBSITE”), YOU
EXPRESSLY AGREE TO AND CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO
NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, CLICK ON “I DO NOT ACCEPT,” AND YOU MAY
NOT ACCESS, USE OR INSTALL ANY PART OF THE SERVICE.
1. The Service
(a) Description. The Service is described in detail below. The Service is proprietary to
Company and is protected by intellectual property laws and international intellectual property
treaties. Your access to the Service is licensed and not sold. Company agrees to provide you with
non-exclusive access to or use of the Service, consisting of access to the Website for the sole
purpose of processing transactions, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in this
Agreement.
Company provides an online method for its clients to submit business information for the purpose
of marketing that business. Offerings within the Service are regularly reviewed and revised, and
in the future might include other governmental agencies or departments or private entities. You
provide to Company all data required by the particular state or other entity in which you seek to
list your business information. You also remit to Company the subscription fees charged by a
state or other entity ("Fee"). A Transaction occurs each time you click on an icon, such as
“click here to pay,” “submit” or “finish,” that results in transmittal of information from you to
Company to be used in providing the Services to you. In some cases a Transaction will require you
to input information on multiple screens in order to complete the Transaction; in these cases,
only one Transaction has occurred. Once the Company receives good funds from you, Company will
publish your business information on it's website(s).
(b) Charges. Currently, Company accepts payment in the form of credit card, Automated Clearing
House transactions (“ACH”) or check. Unfortunately, Company cannot pay interest on funds held for
you. If paying by credit card, additional credit card transaction fees may also apply. If funds
received by the Company must be returned to you at any point, Company will charge a processing fee
as a result of such return. In addition, a processing fee shall also be charged for all checks
returned for insufficient funds. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees or
Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and/or Internet service provider.
(c) Limited Appointment of Agent. You hereby agree that Company does not act as your agent and
shall not be responsible or liable to you in signing any document on your behalf.

you and remits Fees to the applicable entity is described in detail above.
