SUBSCRIBER Terms of Service

Last Updated 30 Dec 2025

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT VENTAC IS NOT A LAW FIRM OR AN ATTORNEY.  ALL SERVICES ARE CONSIDERED CONSULTING OR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, NOT LEGAL SERVICES OR ADVICE.   USE OF VENTAC DOES NOT CREATE AN ATTORNEY–CLIENT RELATIONSHIP.

VENTAC PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES, STANDARDIZED TEMPLATES, ORGANIZATIONAL TOOLS, AND CONSULTING SUPPORT.  VENTAC SERVICES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL FORMS, ARTICLES, AND CONSULTS) ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR LEGAL, ACCOUNTING, BUSINESS, TAX, OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OR SERVICES.​

Legal Services vs. VENTAC Strategic Consulting

What VENTAC Is (and Is Not)

  • Not legal services. VENTAC does not provide legal advice and does not act as outside or in-house counsel.
  • No attorney-client privilege. Communications with VENTAC are not privileged, but all information is confidential under our services agreement.
  • No legal malpractice exposure. Our relationship is contractual, with defined scope, liability limits, and risk allocation—not professional legal liability.

Role Clarity: Lawyers Are Independent

  • Clients engage their own counsel. When legal advice is needed, the client retains independent legal counsel of their choosing.
  • No attorney-client relationship with VENTAC. Any legal engagement is solely between the client and the law firm—VENTAC is not a party to that relationship.
  • Referrals are optional. We may suggest or introduce experienced counsel when helpful, but the choice of counsel always rests with the client.
  • No referral fees. VENTAC does not receive referral fees or any share of legal fees.
  • Client-benefit discounts only. Some referral firms (our “PLFs”) agree to offer discounted hourly rates to VENTAC clients, but those arrangements benefit the client—not VENTAC.

How VENTAC Adds Value (Without Practicing Law)

  • Business-first perspective. We help management define objectives, assess tradeoffs, and decide when legal advice is actually needed.
  • Smarter use of lawyers. By framing issues clearly, we help outside counsel focus on what matters—reducing cost, time, and noise.
  • Execution, not abstractions. We stay focused on outcomes, implementation, and decision-making—not theoretical risk memos.

Bottom Line

  • Lawyers provide legal advice and legal protection.
  • VENTAC provides strategy, judgment, and operational support.

Used together—with clean separation—they produce better decisions,  less costs and lower friction.

  1. THE AGREEMENT

These VENTAC Subscriber Terms of Service (these “Terms”) form a binding contract by and between VENTAC, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“VENTAC,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), and you (the “Member,” “Subscriber,” “you,” or “your”) governing your use of the VENTAC website (myventac.com, the “Site”) and all services offered by VENTAC (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing the Site or subscribing to a VENTAC membership plan (each, a “Plan”), you agree to these Terms, the VENTAC Web Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Registered Agent Terms (if applicable), and any pricing or promotional terms presented at checkout, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The “Effective Date” is the date you accept these Terms by purchasing a Plan and continues until terminated as provided herein.

  1. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND MEMBERSHIPS

Subscribers engage VENTAC by enrolling in one or more membership subscriptions described on the Site or otherwise agreed to in writing (“Memberships”).

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, each Membership is for a single individual user only and may not be shared with partners, employees, or other users.

  1. VENTAC IS NOT A LAW FIRM; NO LEGAL SERVICES

VENTAC DOES NOT PROVIDE LEGAL SERVICES OR LEGAL ADVICE.

VENTAC may facilitate access to independent third-party professionals, including licensed attorneys and law firms (each a “Third-Party Provider,” and collectively, “Third-Party Providers”). Certain Third-Party Providers may be law firms or individual attorneys (each, a “PLF,” and collectively, “PLFs”).

ALL THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS, INCLUDING PLFs, ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AND ARE NOT EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS OF VENTAC.

VENTAC’s role is limited to providing educational resources, standardized tools, and facilitating optional connections to Third-Party Providers.

ANY LEGAL REPRESENTATION OR LEGAL ADVICE EXISTS ONLY IF AND WHEN YOU ENTER INTO A SEPARATE, WRITTEN ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT DIRECTLY WITH A PLF.

VENTAC MAKES NO GUARANTEES AS TO THE CONTENT, QUALITY, OR OUTCOMES OF ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS.

  1. PLAN BENEFITS

VENTAC Plans provide access to Plan Benefits as described on the Site at the time of enrollment.

VENTAC may modify, add, or remove Plan Benefits at its discretion. If you disagree with a modification, you may cancel your Membership upon thirty (30) days’ written notice.

  1. CONSULTATIONS (INFORMATIONAL SESSIONS)

Members may be eligible to schedule informational consultation sessions with Third-Party Providers during normal business hours, subject to Plan limits.

ALL CONSULTATIONS ARE INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL IN NATURE ONLY.

CONSULTATIONS DO NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE AND DO NOT CREATE AN ATTORNEY–CLIENT RELATIONSHIP.

Consultations do not roll over month-to-month unless expressly stated on the Site.

  1. VENTAC+ MEMBERSHIP

VENTAC+ Members may receive expanded Plan Benefits, which may include project-based consulting support, such as document preparation assistance, organizational support, and administrative filing assistance, as described on the Site.

VENTAC+ SERVICES ARE CONSULTING SERVICES ONLY AND ARE NOT LEGAL SERVICES OR LEGAL REPRESENTATION.

If a Member requires legal advice or legal representation, the Member must engage a PLF directly under a separate agreement (VENTAC is not involved in that agreement or relationship).

Unused VENTAC+ hours may roll over as described on the Site, subject to stated caps (current a max of 2 hours per month up to 5 total), and are forfeited upon cancellation or the Member’s annual anniversary date.

  1. FORMS LIBRARY

Members have access to the VENTAC Forms Library. ALL FORMS AND DOCUMENTS ARE STANDARDIZED TEMPLATES PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

THEY MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES OR JURISDICTION.

DOCUMENTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY AS TO ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR LEGAL EFFECT.

  1. FLAT-FEE SERVICES

VENTAC may offer certain flat-fee consulting services, including entity formation support, trademark-related support, and project-based services, as described on the Site or in a written invoice.

Flat-fee services include only those items expressly listed in the applicable description or invoice.

FLAT-FEE SERVICES ARE CONSULTING SERVICES ONLY AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL SERVICES OR LEGAL ADVICE, EVEN IF PERFORMED BY AN ATTORNEY.

Any filings performed by VENTAC or a Third-Party Provider are performed as attorney-in-fact or authorized agent, not as an attorney at law.

  1. EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS

VENTAC Plans and Services do NOT include:

  • Litigation, disputes, investigations, or criminal matters
  • Regulatory enforcement or administrative proceedings
  • Patents, securities, bankruptcy, immigration, antitrust, or similar specialized areas
  • Personal legal matters
  • Matters outside Texas where Texas-specific administrative support is insufficient
  • Matters declined by a Third-Party Provider in their sole discretion
  1. PAYMENT; BILLING; NO REFUNDS

All fees are due in advance. Memberships renew automatically unless cancelled in writing.

NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED FOR ANY REASON, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW.

Failure to pay may result in suspension or termination of Services.

  1. REGISTERED AGENT SERVICES

Registered Agent Services are limited to receipt of service of process in the State of Texas.

THIS IS NOT A MAILBOX OR MAIL-FORWARDING SERVICE.

VENTAC’s sole obligation is to scan and email Process Documents to the email address on file.

VENTAC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR NON-PROCESS MATERIALS, WHICH MAY BE DISCARDED.

VENTAC’S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR REGISTERED AGENT SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED $50.00.

ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

VENTAC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
