Accordingly, your use of this Website (“EZNameChange.com” or “Website”), must be strictly subject to Terms and Conditions (“T&C”) created by Nationwide Legal Network, Inc. dba EZ Name Change ("EZ" or "NLN").

Neither EZ nor any of its officers or employees can engage in the practice of law, advise you of your rights, represent you in your legal matter, give you legal opinions or choose your forms for you.
  • The Los Angeles county clerk has not evaluated or approved EZ’s knowledge or experience, or the quality of EZ’s work.

I. SELF-HELP SERVICES

EZ performs all it’s work for you in its business offices, which are at 5665 Whitnall Highway, Suite 2, North Hollywood, California 91601. EZ can perform the following self-help services for You in connection with a legal matter in which You are representing Yourself: EZ can type or otherwise complete, as You specifically direct, legal documents that You have selected, such as for Name Change.  EZ can provide You general published factual legal information that has been written or approved by an attorney or government agency, to help You represent Yourself.  EZ can provide You published legal documents.  EZ can have legal forms and documents filed and served if You request it and as You specifically direct.

These are the only kinds of court related or law related services that EZ can perform for You.  EZ cannot provide You with legal advice, legal representation, legal decisions or any other services that only licensed attorneys can provide.  If You need any of those kinds of services, then You require the services of an attorney and not EZ.

EZ cannot provide You any self-help service unless You are representing Yourself in a legal matter and the self-help service relates to that legal matter.

EZ will provide You documents, and all services attendant to preparing them, that You request as part of Your effort to accomplish Your legal purpose objective.  The prices You are charged by EZ are always available to You, in advance, through this Website FAQs.  You will be shown the same prices again when You complete Your order through the Website, based upon Your specific order request.  DO NOT COMPLETE YOUR ORDER unless You agree that the prices You are being charged are the ones You expected to be charged and agree to pay.

You are paying EZ only for those services You expressly request, and no others.  It is unlawful for EZ to make any guarantee or promise to You concerning the outcome of your legal situation at all, or concerning anything else unless it is written in this contract and unless EZ has a factual basis for making the guarantee or promise.

II. FEES AND EXPENSES

Your completion of Your Order, including confirming Your payment for services ordered, constitutes Your agreement to be bound by our T&C and our agreement to do the work You requested at the agreed to prices.  

When You complete Your online order, You will be shown an itemization and total of all EZ charges related to Your order.  If You disagree with any items for which You are being charged, correct Your order prior to completing it.  You understand that EZ has a right to rely on Your order instructions, together with Your agreement to pay the EZ charges related to Your order.

III. CANCELLATION

You may cancel Your order for any reason within 24 hours after Your order has been submitted to EZ  and paid for online.  

If You cancel the contract, EZ will promptly refund any fees which You have paid EZ.  The only fees that EZ may keep are fees for services which EZ has actually necessarily and reasonably performed on Your behalf during the 24-hour period.  EZ cannot keep any fees for services performed during the 24-hour period unless You knew that EZ would perform those services and You requested rush services.

To cancel this contract, send EZ a written notice stating that You are canceling the contract.  Your notice can be by email sent via the Website, or to info@nationwidelegalnetwork.com. Cancellation takes effect on the date of EZ’s receipt of Your notice.  You can also cancel this contract by delivering a written notice of cancellation to EZ’s physical address within the 24-hour period.

You may also cancel this contract at any time if EZ:

  • Fails to have these T&C available for You in this Website, so You can read and print them out for Your records before EZ provides any services to You, or
  • Fails to specify in Your payment page, the services which EZ will perform and the costs of those services prior to Your confirming payment for them, or
  • Fails to make a copy of these T&C available to You in English and in any other language that You understand if another language was principally used by EZ in any oral sales presentation or negotiation leading to execution of Your order for services.

If You cancel Your order for any of these reasons, EZ will immediately refund, in full, any fees which You have paid EZ.

You cannot cancel the Petition part of this contract after EZ has confirmed your order and instructions, by email, or if EZ has already prepared and sent you your Petition. In that situation, you may elect not to continue with your Name Change but EZ shall not be obligated to refund the fees you paid for EZ to prepare and send you your Petition. You cannot cancel the Full Service part of your contract, if that applies, after you have paid for that AND after EZ has submitted your Petition to the court pursuant to your orders and instructions. In such a case, EZ shall not be obligated to refund the fees you paid for Full Service Filing and Advertising (if advertising was part of your Order).

You may also cancel this contract at any time if You have legal cause.
