Refund & Cancellation Policy

At HawkFile, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We maintain transparent, fair refund policies for all business formation, state filing, and compliance orders.

Last Updated: October 2026 • Transparent Refund Guarantee

1. Pre-Filing Order Cancellations

100% Service Fee Refund Guarantee: If you cancel your order BEFORE your formation documents or applications are submitted to state government agencies or the IRS, HawkFile will issue a full refund of our service fee.

A small administrative handling fee of $15 may be withheld to cover initial name availability searches, account provisioning, and credit card processing charges incurred during order placement.

2. Post-Filing Policy (Government Fees)

Once your formation documents (Articles of Organization / Incorporation), EIN tax application, or state tax filings have been submitted to a government authority (Secretary of State or IRS), the order enters final processing state:

  • State & IRS Fees: Government fees paid directly to state filing offices or federal agencies are non-refundable under state statutes once documents are lodged.
  • HawkFile Service Fees: After documents have been prepared and submitted by our legal processing team, HawkFile service fees are non-refundable.

3. Subscription & Renewal Services

For recurring services such as Registered Agent representation or Business Mail Forwarding packages:

  • You may cancel recurring annual subscriptions at any time prior to the annual renewal billing date via your client portal or by contacting support.
  • If a registered agent subscription is cancelled mid-term, you must provide proof of change of registered agent filed with the state before agent representation can be officially terminated.

4. Processing Timeframes & Methods

Approved refunds are processed back to the original payment method used during purchase (Credit Card, Debit Card, Stripe, or PayPal). Please allow 5 to 7 business days for the credit to appear on your bank statement depending on your financial institution.

5. Chargeback & Dispute Prevention

We encourage clients to reach out to HawkFile customer support before opening a payment dispute or chargeback with their bank. Unjustified chargebacks on completed government filings will result in immediate termination of registered agent representation and report of non-compliance to state authorities.
