BOC-3 Processing Agents Service Terms of Service
Terms of Service — BOC-3 Annual Renewal Subscription

Effective Date: August 18, 2026 Last Updated: August 18, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your enrollment in and use of the BOC-3 Annual Renewal Subscription ("Subscription") provided by Interstate Authority, LLC ("Interstate Authority," "we," "us," or "our"). By enrolling in the Subscription, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. The Service

The BOC-3 Annual Renewal Subscription provides recurring designation of process agents in all 50 states as required under 49 CFR § 366. Each year on January 1, Interstate Authority will, on your behalf:

a. Maintain your active BOC-3 blanket process agent designation with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ("FMCSA"); b. Re-file or update your BOC-3 designation as necessary to maintain continuous coverage; and c. Provide you with a current copy of your BOC-3 filing upon request.

What's included. While your Subscription is current, the annual fee is all-inclusive and covers: your initial BOC-3 filing; ongoing maintenance of your designation; re-files and updates — including legal-name changes, address changes, and reinstatement re-files — at no additional charge; a current copy of your filing on request; and forwarding of any service of process served on us as your agent (see Section 5).

No hidden fees. There are no hidden fees or service charges. The only additional charges, each fully disclosed in these Terms, are: (i) a separate Subscription for each MC or FF number (see Section 2.1); and (ii) a $100.00 penalty, plus any past-due Subscription fees, that applies only if legal process is served on us while your Subscription is past due (see Section 5).

What's not included. The Subscription does not include:

Any FMCSA-required filings other than the BOC-3 (for example, MCS-150, UCR, IRP, IFTA, or Operating Authority registration); or
Legal representation or legal advice.
2. Subscription Term and Renewal

2.1 Initial Term, Initial Filing, and Per-Number Billing. Your Subscription begins on the date your initial payment is successfully processed. The initial fee of $75.00 USD includes your initial BOC-3 filing and covers your designation through December 31 of the calendar year in which you enroll. Exception: if you enroll on or after November 1, your initial $75.00 fee covers the remainder of that calendar year and the entire following calendar year, and your first renewal charge occurs on January 1 of the year after that. A separate Subscription and a separate $75.00 fee apply to each MC or FF number; each number is filed and billed separately.

2.2 Automatic Renewal. UNLESS YOU CANCEL, YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW EACH YEAR ON JANUARY 1. By enrolling, you authorize Interstate Authority to charge your payment method on file $75.00 USD (or such other amount as we notify you of in advance) on each January 1 renewal date. We will send a renewal reminder to the email address on file before each renewal charge.

2.3 Price Changes. We reserve the right to adjust the annual renewal price. We will notify you of any price change at least thirty (30) days before the renewal date, together with instructions for cancelling. If you do not cancel before the renewal date, the new price applies.

2.4 Failed or Late Payments; Grace Period. If your payment method on file is declined, expired, or otherwise cannot be charged on a renewal date, your Subscription becomes past due and is no longer "current." We will contact you by email or phone to request payment, and we may attempt to charge your payment method again. You will have a grace period of at least thirty (30) days from the missed renewal date to bring your account current before your designation is removed. During the grace period:

Your BOC-3 designation remains on file with FMCSA;
Benefits that require a current Subscription are paused, including no-charge re-files, legal-name and address changes, and no-charge forwarding of service of process (see Section 5.3); and
You may bring your account current at any time by paying the past-due Subscription fee, which immediately restores all benefits.

If your account is not brought current by the end of the grace period, we may remove your BOC-3 designation from FMCSA records and terminate your Subscription for non-payment. Removal of your designation may result in the deactivation or revocation of your operating authority by FMCSA. Interstate Authority is not liable for consequences resulting from your failure to maintain a valid payment method or to pay amounts when due. If your designation is removed for non-payment, you may re-enroll at any time by paying the then-current Subscription fee; there is no separate reinstatement fee.

If legal process is served on us while your Subscription is past due, the $100.00 penalty and past-due fees described in Section 5 apply.

2.5 FMCSA Status Changes Do Not Cancel This Subscription. Any action by FMCSA, USDOT, or any other regulatory authority that deactivates, suspends, revokes, or otherwise affects your BOC-3 designation, operating authority, or any other registration shall NOT act as a cancellation of this Subscription. Because you may reinstate your operating authority at any time, the Subscription continues until you affirmatively cancel it through the process described in Section 4.

You acknowledge and agree that:

a. We do not actively monitor the status of your BOC-3 designation, operating authority, USDOT registration, MC docket, or any other regulatory record; b. You are solely responsible for ensuring that all information on file with FMCSA — including your legal business name, physical address, mailing address, email address, and phone number — is accurate, active, and current at all times; c. If FMCSA deactivates your operating authority, ceases your BOC-3 designation, or otherwise changes your regulatory status, the Subscription and all associated fees remain in effect until you cancel as set forth in Section 4; and d. You will not be entitled to a refund for any Subscription fee charged before you affirmatively cancel, regardless of any change in your regulatory status during the Subscription term.

If you no longer require BOC-3 services (for example, because you have ceased operations or voluntarily revoked your operating authority), it is your responsibility to cancel the Subscription. Failure to do so will result in continued automatic billing.

3. Payment

3.1 Payment Methods. We accept major credit and debit cards processed through CyberSource. By providing payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method and you authorize us to charge it for the Subscription.

3.2 Tax. Subscription pricing does not include applicable taxes. You are responsible for any sales, use, or similar taxes that may apply.

3.3 Payment Processing. Payment processing is handled by CyberSource. We do not store your full card number. We store only a tokenized reference to your payment method for the purpose of recurring billing.

3.4 Chargebacks and Payment Disputes. Before initiating any chargeback, dispute, or payment reversal with your bank or credit card issuer, you agree to first contact Interstate Authority to attempt to resolve the matter directly. Most billing concerns can be addressed quickly through our customer support channels listed in Section 17.

By enrolling in the Subscription, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

a. Immediate Removal of BOC-3 Designation. If you initiate a chargeback, dispute, or payment reversal for any Subscription charge, Interstate Authority reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately withdraw your BOC-3 designation from FMCSA records. This may result in the deactivation or revocation of your operating authority by FMCSA. You acknowledge that this consequence is severe and irreversible without a new BOC-3 filing.

b. Liability for Improper Chargebacks. If a chargeback is initiated and is later determined by the card issuer, the courts, or Interstate Authority in its reasonable judgment to have been improper, frivolous, or without merit, you agree to be responsible for:

The full amount of the disputed charge;
All chargeback fees, processing fees, and administrative costs incurred by Interstate Authority;
Reasonable attorneys' fees and collection costs.

c. Right to Pursue Collections. Interstate Authority reserves the right to pursue collection of any amounts owed through lawful means, including referral to a third-party collections agency or legal action. You agree to pay reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs incurred in collecting such amounts.

d. Reinstatement After Removal. If your BOC-3 designation has been removed due to a chargeback, Interstate Authority may, at its discretion, refile your BOC-3 designation upon (i) full payment of all outstanding amounts, including the original Subscription fee and any chargeback-related costs; and (ii) a valid payment method being restored on file. There is no separate reinstatement fee.

e. Good-Faith Disputes. This Section 3.4 does not waive your legal rights under applicable consumer protection laws. You retain the right to dispute charges in good faith. However, you agree to provide Interstate Authority a reasonable opportunity to resolve any billing concern before initiating a chargeback. Failure to do so may be considered evidence that the chargeback was improper.

Authorized chargebacks (those determined to be valid by the card issuer or resolved in your favor) will be credited to the original payment method. Processing may take up to 10 business days.

4. Cancellation

4.1 How to Cancel. You may cancel your Subscription at any time by:

Using the "Cancel Subscription" button in your customer dashboard;
Emailing us at ContactUs@interstateauthority.com from your account email with a request to cancel; or
Calling us at 1-800-784-7813 during business hours.

Every purchase creates a customer account tied to the email address provided at checkout — including purchases made without signing in — so every customer can cancel online through the dashboard at any time.

4.2 Effect of Cancellation. When you cancel:

No further automatic renewal charges will be made;
Your current paid term remains active through the end of the period you paid for (December 31 of the applicable year, or, for enrollments on or after November 1, the end of the following calendar year);
We will remove your BOC-3 designation from FMCSA records at no charge, either at the end of your paid term or upon your request; and
If you continue to operate under FMCSA authority, you are responsible for designating a new process agent and filing a new BOC-3 through a provider authorized by FMCSA.

4.3 No Refunds. All Subscription fees are non-refundable, including but not limited to:

Cancellation mid-term;
Going out of business during the term;
Switching to another process agent provider during the term; or
Suspension or revocation of your operating authority during the term.

Subscription fees are non-refundable because the Subscription provides continuous process agent designation and ongoing availability to receive and forward service of process for the entire paid term. That coverage is provided from the moment you enroll and throughout the term, regardless of whether you use your operating authority.

5. Service of Process Handling

5.1 While Your Subscription Is Current. As your designated process agent, we receive service of process — legal documents such as summonses and complaints — on your behalf. While your Subscription is current, we forward all such documents to you at the email and contact information on file at no additional charge.

5.2 Your Contact Information. You are responsible for keeping your contact information current so that we can deliver served documents to you. We are not liable for any failure or delay in delivery that results from outdated or inaccurate contact information you provided, or from your failure to monitor your email.

5.3 While Your Subscription Is Past Due. If legal process is served on us while your Subscription is past due (not current), a penalty of $100.00 USD applies, in addition to any past-due Subscription fees required to bring your account current. We will forward the served document to you, and your continued designation and any further service are conditioned on bringing your account current.

5.4 Delivery Method. We forward served documents by email. Other delivery methods may be available on request.

6. Prohibited Use of the Designation

Your BOC-3 process agent designation is provided solely to meet the FMCSA BOC-3 requirement under 49 CFR § 366. You may NOT:

a. Use, list, or hold out Interstate Authority or any of our process agents as your registered agent, resident agent, or agent for service of process for any Secretary of State, corporate, tax, licensing, or other non-FMCSA purpose; b. Contact our process agents directly; or c. Use the designation for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose.

Consequence. Any prohibited use is a material breach of these Terms. We may immediately terminate your Subscription and remove your designation from FMCSA records without refund, and you are responsible for any claims, losses, fees, penalties, fines, or damages arising out of or relating to the prohibited use.

7. Customer Responsibilities

You agree to:

a. Provide accurate, current, and complete information about your business, including your USDOT number, legal business name, physical address, and contact information; b. Notify Interstate Authority of any changes to your business information that may affect your BOC-3 designation; c. Maintain a valid payment method on file for recurring billing; d. Maintain accurate, active, and current information on file with FMCSA at all times; e. Maintain a current, working email address and monitor it regularly — as email is our primary method of communicating with you and of delivering any service of process — and ensure that our messages are not blocked or filtered; f. Use the designation only for FMCSA BOC-3 purposes, and not as a state registered or resident agent (see Section 6); g. Comply with all applicable FMCSA regulations and federal transportation laws; h. Not use the Service for any unlawful purpose; and i. Notify us promptly of any service of process you receive, even if such service was not directed through us.

8. Service Availability and Performance

8.1 Best Efforts. Interstate Authority will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain your BOC-3 designation in good standing with FMCSA. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted service or that filings will be accepted by FMCSA in any specific timeframe.

8.2 FMCSA Dependencies. Our ability to file and maintain BOC-3 designations depends on FMCSA's systems, which we do not control. Outages, system maintenance, or rule changes by FMCSA may delay services. We are not liable for delays caused by FMCSA system issues.

8.3 Information Accuracy. Filings made by Interstate Authority are based on the information you provide. We are not responsible for filing errors resulting from inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information you submit.

9. Disclaimers

THE SUBSCRIPTION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY.

INTERSTATE AUTHORITY IS NOT A LAW FIRM. WE DO NOT PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE. THE BOC-3 SERVICE IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE FILING SERVICE ONLY. IF YOU NEED LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING YOUR DOT OPERATING AUTHORITY, COMPLIANCE OBLIGATIONS, OR SERVICE OF PROCESS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LICENSED ATTORNEY.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INTERSTATE AUTHORITY'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SUBSCRIPTION SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Interstate Authority, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of:

a. Your breach of these Terms; b. Inaccurate or incomplete information you provided; c. Your use of the Service in violation of any law or regulation; and d. Claims by third parties relating to your transportation operations.

12. Termination by Interstate Authority

We may suspend or terminate your Subscription at any time, with or without notice, if:

a. You fail to pay any amount due (subject to the grace period in Section 2.4); b. You provide false or misleading information; c. You engage in fraudulent activity; d. You initiate a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting us as required in Section 3.4; e. You engage in any prohibited use of the designation (see Section 6); or f. Continuing the service would violate applicable law or FMCSA regulations.

If we terminate your Subscription for cause, you are not entitled to any refund.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through your customer dashboard at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect.

If unresolved, by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, conducted in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and c. Each party bears its own costs and attorneys' fees in arbitration.

15.3 Class Action Waiver. You agree that any claims will be brought in your individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action.

15.4 Exception for Equitable Relief. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court without first proceeding to arbitration.

16.2 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
