Terms of Service

Last updated: August 19, 2026

1. Who we are

SwiftEIN (swiftein.com) is operated by Paircat UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Kolonnenstr. 8, 10827 Berlin, Germany, registered with the Amtsgericht Charlottenburg under HRB 284756 B, represented by its managing director Pëllumb Dalipi ("SwiftEIN", "we", "us"). Contact: [email protected].

2. Scope

These terms govern every order placed through swiftein.com. By placing an order you accept them. Deviating terms of the customer do not apply unless we agree to them in writing.

3. The service

We prepare an application for an Employer Identification Number (IRS Form SS-4) for the limited liability company named in the order, based solely on the information the customer provides, submit it to the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as the customer's third party designee, and, once the IRS has assigned the number, deliver to the customer by email a copy of the IRS EIN verification letter (Form 147c) as received from the IRS. The third party designee authorisation on Form SS-4 is limited to that application and expires once the EIN is assigned. We do not represent anyone before the IRS.

The service consists of this and nothing else. In particular, we do not provide:

  • legal, tax, accounting, or business advice of any kind;
  • registered agent, mail forwarding, company formation, or bank account opening services;
  • any document other than the 147c letter. The IRS confirmation notice (CP 575) is mailed by the IRS to the LLC address and is outside our control;
  • any assessment of whether the customer's entity classification, tax position, or filings are correct.

We are not a law firm, a certified public accountant, a tax advisor, or an enrolled agent, and we are not affiliated with the IRS or any government authority. We do not represent anyone before the IRS, and we give no legal or tax advice. The customer is solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided and for the LLC's tax and legal compliance.

4. Order process and contract formation

The customer enters the required information in the order form, confirms these terms, and is redirected to our payment provider (Stripe) to pay. The contract is concluded when the payment is completed. We then send an order confirmation by email containing the order number. No account is created.

5. Price and payment

The price is USD 149 (one-time). It is stated including any applicable taxes. Payment is made in advance by card via Stripe. We do not store card details.

6. Delivery time

We aim to deliver the 147c letter within 72 hours of payment, and the large majority of orders are completed within that time. Those 72 hours are counted on business days only. The clock starts when payment is received, runs from Monday to Friday, and pauses at the weekend and on US federal holidays, because the IRS office that processes these applications is closed on those days. An order paid on a Friday is therefore due on the following Wednesday, not on the Monday. The EIN itself is assigned by the IRS, whose processing we do not control, so the 72 hours is a target, not a guaranteed delivery date. If delivery takes longer, we inform the customer by email. Delays do not in themselves entitle the customer to a reduction of the price or to damages; the cancellation right in section 8 remains available until the EIN has been issued. Where delivery takes considerably longer than 72 hours, we may at our discretion grant a partial or full refund as a gesture of goodwill.

7. No guarantee of result; refund if no EIN

We cannot guarantee that the IRS will issue an EIN. If the IRS does not issue an EIN for the LLC named in the order despite our submission, for whatever reason, we refund the full price. Further claims arising from the non-issuance are excluded to the extent permitted by law. This refund promise does not apply if the customer has provided false information or if the LLC already had an EIN when the order was placed; in that case we will nonetheless try to find a reasonable solution with the customer.

8. Cancellation

The customer may cancel the order at any time before the IRS has issued the EIN by sending an email to [email protected] stating the order number. No reason is required. We then refund the full price. Once the IRS has issued the EIN, the service has been fully performed and cancellation or refund is no longer possible.

9. Statutory right of withdrawal for consumers

If the customer is a consumer within the meaning of Section 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB), the statutory right of withdrawal applies in addition to section 8. By placing the order the customer expressly requests that we begin performing the service before the end of the withdrawal period, and acknowledges that the right of withdrawal expires once the service has been fully performed (Section 356(4) BGB). If the customer withdraws before full performance, the customer owes us a proportionate amount for the services rendered up to the withdrawal; in practice we waive this and refund in full, as stated in section 8.

Model withdrawal instruction

Right of withdrawal. You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period is 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract. To exercise the right, you must inform us, Paircat UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Kolonnenstr. 8, 10827 Berlin, Germany, [email protected], of your decision by an unequivocal statement (for example an email). To meet the deadline it is sufficient that you send the notice before the period expires.

Effects of withdrawal. If you withdraw, we refund all payments received from you without undue delay and at the latest within 14 days from the day we receive your notice, using the same means of payment you used, at no cost to you. If you requested that the service begin during the withdrawal period, you must pay us an amount proportionate to the services provided until you informed us of the withdrawal.

10. Customer obligations

The customer confirms that the information provided is true, complete, and matches the LLC's formation documents, that the customer is authorized to act for the LLC and to appoint us as third party designee, and that the LLC does not already have an EIN. The customer will respond to our questions promptly. Delays caused by incorrect information or lack of response are not our responsibility.

11. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body, or health, and under the German Product Liability Act. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose fulfilment the customer regularly relies), and then limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. In all other respects liability is excluded. In particular we are not liable for consequences of delayed issuance of the EIN, for decisions of the IRS, banks, or other third parties, or for the customer's tax or legal position.

12. Data protection

We process personal data as described in our privacy policy. The information in the order is transferred to the IRS in the United States as necessary to perform the service.

13. Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If the customer is a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, or has no general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the exclusive place of jurisdiction is Berlin, Germany. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the customer's country of residence remain unaffected. The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. Should any provision of these terms be invalid, the remaining provisions remain unaffected.
