The organization of CCS falls in two entities: CenterPoint Corporate Services, Inc. and the CenterPoint Community. CenterPoint Corporate Services, Inc. is a business entity formation service that provides a turnkey solution for forming an LLC, S-Corporation, or C-Corporation.  Registered Agent; Corporate Headquarters; telephone, fax, and mail services; and management services are also available. The CenterPoint Community is an online network of businesses and business owners designed to facilitate communication, foster collaboration, and offer professional services to businesses. Under the umbrella of the Community, Users are encouraged to participate in Forums, Blogs, to post a Business Listing on the CenterPoint Directory, and buy and sell seminars, “How-To” guides, and business and legal forms on the Market. The CenterPoint Vault is designed to securely store your vital documents and allow you to share them with a high level of granularity.

CCS strives to keep its legal and business documents, “How-To” Guides, seminars, and Blog articles accurate, current and up-to-date. However, because the law changes rapidly, CCS cannot guarantee that all of the information on the Site is completely current. The law is different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and may be subject to interpretation by different courts. The law is a personal matter, and no general information or legal or business tools like the kind CCS provides can fit every circumstance. Furthermore, the legal information contained on the Site is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. Therefore, if you need legal advice for your specific problem, or if your specific problem is too complex to be addressed by our tools, you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.

From time to time, CCS may perform certain professional access services and introduce our Users to professionals (accountants, lawyers, etc.) and new information through various methods, including but not limited to (i) messages regarding updates in your self-selected categories, (ii) on-profile recommendations based on your self-selected interests, and (iii) recommendations for “Contacts You May Wish to Make.” At no time is an attorney-client relationship fostered or created through the performance of any such services.

This Site is not intended to create any attorney-client relationship, and your use of CCS does not and will not create an attorney-client relationship between you and CCS. Instead, you are and will be representing yourself in any legal matter you undertake through CCS's Services.

Rights and Responsibilities of CCS: CCS is not the publisher or author of the User Content. It is a passive service for storage and dissemination of the ideas and opinions that CCS members may choose to post and distribute as User Content. CCS does not always screen works before they are posted, and no prior approval is required for posting. CCS disclaims all copyright and ownership in such works and all responsibility for them.

Although we cannot make an absolute guarantee of system security, CCS takes reasonable steps to maintain security. If you have reason to believe system security has been breached, contact us by email for help.

If CCS's technical staff finds that files or processes belonging to a member pose a threat to the proper technical operation of the system or to the security of other members, CCS reserves the right to delete those files or to stop those processes. If the CCS technical staff suspects a user name is being used by someone who is not authorized by the proper user, CCS may temporarily disable that user's access in order to preserve system security. In all such cases, CCS will contact the member as soon as feasible.

CCS has the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to (i) edit, redact or otherwise change any User Content, (ii) re-categorize any User Content to place it in a more appropriate location or (iii) pre-screen or delete any User Content that is determined to be inappropriate or otherwise in violation of these Terms of Use, including but not limited to User Content containing offensive language and advertisements.

CCS reserves the right to refuse service to anyone and to cancel user access at any time.

Rights and Responsibilities of CCS Users or Other Posters of User Content:

You are legally and ethically responsible for any User Content - writings, files, pictures or any other work - that you post or transmit using any CCS service that allows interaction or dissemination of information. In posting User Content, you are responsible for honoring the rights of others, including intellectual-property rights (copyright, patent and trademark), the right to privacy and the right not to be libeled or slandered. For example, if you wish to post a copyrighted work as User Content, you are responsible for obtaining the copyright holder's permission first.

Under United States federal law, you retain copyright on all works you create and post as User Content, unless you choose specifically to renounce it. In posting a work as User Content, you authorize other members who have access to that service to make personal and customary use of the work, including creating links or reposting, but not otherwise to reproduce or disseminate it unless you give permission for such dissemination. You also give permission to CCS to copy your works as part of the normal backup process. You have the right to remove any of your works from User Content at any time.

The use of your CCS user account or posting User Content for any illegal activity under the laws of Nevada and the United States is a violation of these Terms of Use. Since the law as to jurisdiction of online systems is unsettled, we urge you to consider the possible effect of laws outside CCS's locality or your own residence. CCS is open to members worldwide (and works published on the World Wide Web, Usenet or other such services are accessible to anyone on the Internet), and CCS cannot guarantee that you won't run into legal trouble in other jurisdictions over your posting.

Your Rights and Responsibilities as a CCS User and Reader of User Content:

Any user may request that such member's e-mail address be hidden to provide for additional privacy.

If you have a complaint about the behavior or posts of another user, it is your responsibility to attempt to resolve the conflict, typically by contacting that person directly, if possible. Normally, CCS staff will not take a role in mediating conflicts between you and other users. CCS does not take responsibility for your behavior or that of other users. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such a complaint or conflict arises, the user or users may request that CCS moderator intervene and attempt to resolve any such dispute. Any such request is not a guarantee that a moderator will (i) intervene, (ii) intervene in a timely manner, (iii) resolve the dispute in favor of one party or the other or (iv) successfully resolve the situation. The decision to intervene rests with CCS, in our sole and absolute discretion.

Your access to the postings that users have posted as User Content is for your personal use only. If you want to redistribute postings you find as User Content, it is your responsibility to obtain permission from the poster (and any other person with rights in such work).

You agree to help protect your account and the security of other users by guarding your password. If you have reason to believe your password has been compromised or there has been any unauthorized use of your account, contact CCS via email as soon as possible.
