RE Signature Services Terms and Conditions

Please read these Terms and Conditions ("Terms") carefully before scheduling or receiving any service from RE Signature Services LLC ("RE Signature Services LLC," "we," "us," or "the Notary"). By scheduling an appointment, requesting a service, or making a payment, you ("Client," "you") agree to be bound by these Terms in full.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and RE Signature Services LLC. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not schedule or accept services from RE Signature Services LLC.

RE Signature Services LLC holds both a New Jersey notary public commission and separate ordained/certified clergy credentials. Where a service (such as marriage solemnization) is performed under clergy authority rather than notary authority, these Terms identify that distinction explicitly.

RE Signature Services LLC reserves the right to decline, limit, or discontinue any service listed above at its sole discretion, including refusal of a specific request prior to or at the appointment.

2. Fees, Deposits, and Payment

2.1 Booking Deposits and Payment

A booking deposit is a partial payment made to reserve an appointment and is applied toward the total quoted appointment fee.

For mobile appointments, a booking deposit equal to 50% of the total quoted appointment fee is required to confirm the appointment unless otherwise agreed in writing. The booking deposit reserves the requested appointment date and time, will be applied toward the total amount due, and the remaining balance must be paid prior to the commencement of services.

Remote Online Notarization (RON) appointments require full payment prior to the scheduled appointment.

If payment is not received, RE Signature Services LLC reserves the right to cancel or decline the appointment.

The Client is responsible for any fees, costs, or expenses incurred as a result of returned payments, declined transactions, chargebacks, or payment disputes.

If a requested service cannot legally be completed because the Client fails to provide acceptable identification, refuses to sign, or the document is otherwise not eligible for notarization or completion, any refund will be governed by these Terms and Conditions.

2.2 Third-Party and Pass-Through Costs

Certain services involve fees charged by third-party agencies, courts, or government offices. These fees are separate from RE Signature Services LLC's service fees, are the responsibility of the Client, and are non-refundable once submitted to the applicable third party, regardless of the outcome or processing time.

2.3 Accepted Payment Methods

RE Signature Services LLC accepts payment by cash, credit/debit card, certified check, and mobile payment applications (including Venmo and Zelle). Payment method availability may vary by appointment and will be confirmed at booking.

2.4 Rate Disclosure

Current rates for each service are provided to the Client at the time of booking and, where applicable, in a separate fee schedule. RE Signature Services LLC reserves the right to update its rates at any time; the rate confirmed at booking will apply to that appointment.

3. Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy

Clients must provide at least 24 hours' advance notice to cancel or reschedule a confirmed appointment.

Cancellations or rescheduling requests made 24 hours or more before the scheduled appointment: The booking deposit may be refunded or applied to one rescheduled appointment at the Client's election.

Cancellations, rescheduling requests, or no-shows made less than 24 hours before the scheduled appointment: The booking deposit is forfeited.

If RE Signature Services LLC must cancel or reschedule an appointment: The booking deposit will be refunded or applied to a rescheduled appointment at the Client's election.

Clients who are more than 15 minutes late without prior communication may be considered a no-show. In such cases, the appointment may be cancelled or rescheduled at RE Signature Services LLC's discretion, and the booking deposit will be handled in accordance with this Section.

RE Signature Services LLC recommends confirming appointment details in writing (text or email) to avoid misunderstandings regarding timing and location.

4. Identification Requirements

New Jersey law requires that RE Signature Services LLC satisfactorily identify each signer before performing a notarial act. Clients must present current, valid, government-issued photo identification acceptable under New Jersey notary law (e.g., driver's license, state ID, passport, or other legally acceptable credential) at the time of the appointment.

RE Signature Services LLC will not perform a notarial act, and will not charge the applicable service fee, if the Client cannot provide identification that RE Signature Services LLC, in its professional judgment, determines to be satisfactory. If a requested service cannot be completed because satisfactory identification is not provided, any refund of amounts paid shall be governed by Sections 2 and 3 of these Terms.

5. Client Responsibilities

Provide accurate, current contact and location information at booking.

- Ensure a suitable, private, and safe location for the appointment.

- Have all documents complete and ready for review, except for signature/date lines that must be completed in RE Signature - Services LLC’s presence.

- Be present, of sound mind, and not under the apparent influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the appointment.

- Pay all required deposits and fees as described in Section 2.

6. Right to Refuse or Decline Service

RE Signature Services LLC, acting as a New Jersey notary public and service provider, reserves the right to refuse to perform any requested service, including but not limited to circumstances where:

- The Client cannot provide satisfactory identification;

- RE Signature Services LLC has reasonable belief the signer is not signing knowingly, voluntarily, or is being coerced;

- The document appears incomplete, fraudulent, or the request otherwise falls outside the scope of RE Signature Services LLC’s legal authority;

- Performing the requested act would violate New Jersey law, RE Signature Services LLC’s notary commission, or any other applicable law or professional standard;

- The appointment location or circumstances present a safety concern to RE Signature Services LLC.

If RE Signature Services LLC declines to perform a service after arrival for the reasons above, any refund of amounts paid shall be governed by Sections 2 and 3 of these Terms.

scars, dryness, or worn fingerprints. RE Signature Services LLC does not guarantee acceptance of completed fingerprint cards by any requesting entity. If reprinting is requested and available, additional fees may apply.

7.7 Wedding Officiant Services – Sign Only

Capacity Clarification: Wedding officiant services are performed solely in the owner's separate capacity as an ordained minister authorized to solemnize marriages under N.J.S.A. 37:1-13 and not under the authority of a New Jersey notary public commission.

The service includes a brief legal solemnization sufficient to satisfy New Jersey law, followed by completion and signing of the marriage license. It does not include a customized ceremony, rehearsal, vows, readings, music, wedding coordination, or other ceremonial services unless separately agreed in writing.

Clients are solely responsible for obtaining a valid New Jersey marriage license, presenting the license at the appointment, providing any legally required witnesses, and complying with all applicable marriage license requirements, including issuance, waiting periods, and expiration.

RE Signature Services LLC is not responsible for delays, invalid licenses, or the inability to perform the ceremony resulting from the Client's failure to satisfy applicable legal requirements.

Deposits, payment, cancellations, and rescheduling are governed by Sections 2 and 3 of these Terms.
