I.  DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES 

Bluebird provides online services ("Services") intended to assist individuals in completing and submitting applications for documentation of a name change following marriage or divorce.  Users of the service provide the information necessary for accomplishing the name change.  Bluebird uses that information to automatically complete the appropriate application or registration forms.  Bluebird then makes the completed forms available to the user for download and printing, and provides simple and clear instructions for submission of the forms to the relevant state and federal agencies.  All information and services are exchanged electronically, via the internet.   You are responsible for maintaining your own access to the internet.  Bluebird does not authorize name changes, submit applications to the jurisdictions involved, or interact with those jurisdictions as a representative of any user of the service. Bluebird is a privately owned and operated service and does not represent or speak for any governmental office or authority.   Recognition of a change of name can only be authorized by the appropriate governmental office.  New identification documents, such as a new Social Security card, driver's license, or U.S. Passport can only be issued by the governmental offices charged with that responsibility. 


II.  FEES AND PAYMENTS

You agree to pay Bluebird the fee posted on the MissNowMrs.com internet web site (Site) at the time you subscribe to the Service. By completing and submitting the credit card or other payment authorization through the Site, you are authorizing Bluebird to charge the fees to the account you identify.  Fees charged by governmental authorities for filing or processing name changes are not included in the fee payable to Bluebird.


III. LIMITATIONS ON USE OF THE SERVICE.   

Subscription to the Service and payment of the fee authorizes a single individual to use the Service.  A password and/or unique user I.D. will be provided to you.  You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of such passwords and/or user I.D., and you agree that you will be responsible for all use of any such password and/or user I.D., including any access to, or use of, the Service by unauthorized persons.
