Support FAQ

Purchasing

Q: How much does a contract or service cost?

A: On a contract's Questions Page click on "View Results". Move the mouse over one of the purchasing options on the left to get a description and a price.

Q: How do I purchase a document?

A: From the Questions Page of a contract, click on "View Results" to see the Preview Page. Purchasing options are listed under the "Buy Licenses" menu on the left.

Q: What is the difference between a Single Use License and a Multiple Use License?

A: A Single Use License entitles you to one use of a particular automated contract. You are allowed to go back to the Questions Page to refine your answers for two weeks.

A Multiple Use License entitles you to unlimited use of a particular automated contract for an entire year.

Q: How do I cancel a subscription?

A: You can cancel the renewals at any time to prevent your card from being charged again after your current licensing period expires. Simply click on the "Subscriptions" tab on the "My Account" page and follow the instructions.

Q: What does an Accuracy Review or Peace of Mind Review do?

A: Our experienced professionals will review your answers and choices for completeness, spelling, internal consistency and grammar. This review only covers information you type into the question page, not any changes you make using the "Edit Words" feature. We will forward your reviewed document in html format within 2 business days after receipt of payment.

Q: I don't like giving my credit card over the Internet. Is there another way to purchase (bank draft, money order, etc.)?

A: A secure order form is actually safer than using the telephone. Over the phone, anyone could listen in and write down your credit card number as you say it. On a secure order form such as ours, the information travelling between your computer and our server is encrypted, meaning that anybody listening in will only see garbled data.

Q: I need to change my answers. Do I need to purchase another license?

A: No. As long as your license hasn't expired, sign in, then use the My Account page to return to your document.

Saving and Loading

Q: How do I save my work?

A: When you are signed in, the last answers you typed into a document will always be there.

If you want to save a set of answers to your computer, use the "Save Answers" option in the Document Options menu of the Preview Page. You can also save the final document using "Save Document".

Q: How do I load answers saved to my computer?

A: Make sure you are signed in, then open the file "Saved Answers" file in your web browser. It contains a link that says, "Restore Saved Answers Now".

Printing

Q: How can I make sure the document prints out in a legally acceptable way?

A: You must make sure that the signature appears all on one page with some part of the document showing at the top by changing the size of the margins in your browser's Print Setup and doing a Print Preview. The signature section includes the date the agreement is signed.

Q: How do I get rid of the name of your website on the printout?

A: By default, your browser includes the web address in a header or footer. To remove the header and footer, click on the "File" menu, then "Page Setup" and clear the "Header" and "Footer" sections.

For longer documents, you may want to print with page numbers on each page. In Internet Explorer, use the following header to print out page numbers at the top right corner of the page.&bPage &p of &P

In other browsers, select "Page # of #" from the drop-down box in the page setup.

Q: How can I make sure a short document only prints on one page?

A: Some documents deliberately print on multiple pages. If, as a result, you are unsatisfied with how your document prints, modify the margin sizes to change how much text is on any given page.

Other contracts are designed to fit onto one page. If your margin sizes are set too large, the contract may be pushed onto two pages. In this case, decrease the margin sizes.

In Internet Explorer, you can click on the "File" menu, then "Page Setup" You can decrease the size of the top, bottom, left, and right margins to make your document print out all on one page.

Q: There is text missing on the right hand side. How do I fix this?

A: This is because the margins sizes your browser is using are too large. Try decreasing the size of the left and right margins (0.5" per side should do). In Internet Explorer, the margin sizes can be changed by going to the "Page Setup" option in the "File" menu.

Q: There are spaces between words at random spots at the beginning of some lines. How do I fix it?

A: We have seen this problem turn up on certain printers under Windows Vista. Going to your printer manufacturer's web site to download and install the latest printer driver fixes the problem.

Q: I can't print because I have problems with my printer / my computer locks up / etc. Can you send me a copy?

A: Try signing in from another computer. If you still have trouble, contact us.

Q: My computer crashes or locks up when I try to print. How I fix this?

A: Usually, rebooting (restarting) your computer will fix this.

Q: I don't get a printout of what I see on the screen. What can I do?

A: From your browser's file menu, select "Print Preview". If you are able to see the document in print preview, but printing does not work, you are probably experiencing trouble with your printer. You may want to consult your printer manufacturer's documentation or help.

Instructions on this functionality are provided when you move the mouse over the "Edit Words" link in the "Document Options" menu of the Preview Page.
