What We Do
- We form Montana LLCs for vehicle registration and business ownership.
- We register and title your vehicles (cars, exotics, trucks, RVs, motorcycles, boats, aircraft, off-road).
- We provide registered agent services while your account remains active and in good standing.
- We handle renewals and paperwork to keep your registration in good standing.
- You authorize us to act on your behalf, to sign, submit, and correct vehicle registration and title documents for you.
Paying Us and Getting Refunds
- Pricing is on our website. We accept credit/debit cards and ACH bank transfers where available.
- Full refund before we start a service. If you cancel before we begin, you get a refund for that service.
- No refund on completed work. Once a service is performed, it is non-refundable, for example, once we file your LLC or complete your registration.
- Government fees are never refundable. Anything paid to the state or DMV is gone once it's paid.
- LLC renewal subscription. Your Montana LLC's annual state filing renews on January 1st or April 1st each year, your choice at signup, using the card on file.
Your Information and Documents
- You own your documents. Your title, bill of sale, ID, and other materials stay yours, we only use them to do the work you hired us to do.
- We do not sell your data. We share it only with Montana state agencies, payment processors, and our own affiliated brands as needed to provide service.
- You can see everything. Order history, invoices, and documents are accessible in your account portal anytime.
Your Side of the Deal
- Tell us the truth. Accurate info means fast filings, bad info causes rejections and delays.
- Get your own tax and legal advice. Montana registration can have tax implications in your home state. We are not your lawyer or CPA.
- Use it legally. You agree to comply with all federal, state, and local laws when using your LLC and registered vehicles.
- Keep your account current. Update your email and payment info so renewals do not lapse.
Limits, Disputes, and the Legal Fine Print
- Montana law governs these Terms. Most disputes are resolved through binding arbitration.
- Arbitration opt-out. You can opt out within 30 days of agreeing to these Terms by emailing orders@dirtlegal.com.
- Liability is capped at what you paid us in the last 12 months, or $500, whichever is greater.
- We are not responsible for third parties, payment processor errors, shipping issues, and changes in law are outside our control.
