Refund Policy

Last Updated: August 26, 2026

At Arctic Fox Solutions Inc., doing business as AFS DOT, we aim to provide clear, reliable, and efficient support for trucking business formation, authority, compliance, tax, registration, and business services.

Because many of our services involve government filings, third-party providers, administrative processing, and time-sensitive work, refund eligibility depends on the status of the service at the time a refund is requested.

This Refund Policy explains when refunds may or may not be available.

1. General Refund Eligibility

A refund may be considered if:

  • The service has not yet been started
  • No government filing has been submitted
  • No third-party service has been ordered
  • No government or third-party fee has been paid
  • No substantial administrative work has been completed

Refund requests should be submitted as soon as possible after purchase.

Once processing has started, some or all fees may become non-refundable.

2. Non-Refundable Fees

The following fees are generally non-refundable once incurred:

  • Government filing fees
  • State filing fees
  • FMCSA-related filing fees
  • IRS-related filing fees
  • Permit fees
  • Registered Agent fees already activated
  • BOC-3 or process-agent fees
  • Insurance-related fees
  • Third-party provider charges
  • Payment processing fees, where applicable
  • Expedited processing fees
  • Completed administrative service fees

AFS DOT cannot refund fees that have already been paid to a government agency or independent third-party provider.

3. Services Already in Progress

If work has already started on your order, any refund may be reduced by the amount of work completed.

This may include:

  • Reviewing documents
  • Preparing an application
  • Verifying business information
  • Completing forms
  • Coordinating with third-party providers
  • Preparing registration data
  • Communicating with government agencies
  • Filing preparation
  • Compliance review
  • Customer support related to the service

If the service has been substantially completed, the service fee may be non-refundable.

4. Government Filings

Once a filing has been submitted to a government agency, the related service fee is generally non-refundable.

This may include filings such as:

  • LLC Formation
  • EIN Application
  • Annual Report Filing
  • USDOT Registration
  • Motor Carrier Authority
  • Broker Authority
  • MCS-150 Update
  • UCR Registration
  • Form 2290
  • IRP Registration
  • IFTA Registration
  • State business filings
  • Other federal or state submissions

A refund will not normally be issued because a government agency:

  • Delays processing
  • Requests additional information
  • Rejects an application
  • Denies an authority
  • Changes a filing requirement
  • Changes a fee
  • Requires additional documentation

Final approval decisions are controlled by the applicable government agency.

5. BOC-3 Filing

BOC-3 fees may become non-refundable once:

  • A process-agent service has been ordered
  • The filing has been submitted
  • The process-agent designation has been completed

Because BOC-3 services may involve an independent process-agent provider, third-party charges may not be refundable.

6. Registered Agent Services

Registered Agent services are generally provided on an annual basis.

Once service has been activated for a state, the annual Registered Agent fee may be non-refundable.

If cancellation is requested before activation, a refund may be considered depending on whether any administrative or third-party costs have already been incurred.

7. Compliance Services

Refund eligibility for compliance services depends on whether the service has begun.

These services may include:

  • MCS-150 Updates
  • UCR Registration & Renewal
  • Drug & Alcohol Consortium Support
  • FMCSA Clearinghouse Support
  • Driver Qualification Files
  • New Entrant Safety Audit Support
  • Ongoing Compliance Monitoring

If compliance review, setup, enrollment, document preparation, or monitoring has already started, all or part of the service fee may be non-refundable.

8. Drug & Alcohol Consortium Services

Consortium enrollment fees may become non-refundable once:

  • Enrollment has been processed
  • A testing program has been activated
  • A third-party consortium provider has been paid
  • Administrative setup has been completed

Testing fees already incurred are non-refundable.

9. Tax & Registration Services

For services such as:

  • Form 2290 E-Filing
  • IRP Registration & Renewal
  • IFTA Registration & Reporting
  • Bookkeeping & Payroll

Refunds may not be available after filing preparation, submission, bookkeeping work, payroll processing, or other administrative work has started.

Government tax payments and filing fees are non-refundable through AFS DOT.

10. Dispatch Services

Dispatch fees may be non-refundable once dispatch services have begun.

This may include:

  • Load searching
  • Broker communication
  • Rate negotiation support
  • Trip coordination
  • Dispatch administration
  • Driver communication

AFS DOT does not guarantee specific loads, rates, revenue, or profitability, and dissatisfaction with market conditions does not automatically qualify for a refund.

11. ELD Solutions

ELD-related refunds may depend on the policies of the third-party ELD provider.

Once an ELD account, device, subscription, or service plan has been activated, applicable fees may be non-refundable.

Any hardware return may be subject to the provider’s separate return policy.

12. Commercial Trucking Insurance

Insurance premiums, deposits, broker fees, or related charges may be governed by the insurance provider’s own cancellation and refund policies.

AFS DOT cannot guarantee refunds for amounts paid to an insurance company, broker, or third-party agency.

13. Freight Factoring

Freight factoring applications and agreements may be handled by independent factoring companies.

Any fees, reserves, advance amounts, termination charges, or other financial terms are governed by the factoring provider’s agreement.

AFS DOT is not responsible for refunding third-party factoring charges.

14. Fuel Cards

Fuel card programs may be provided by third parties.

Fees associated with:

  • Card issuance
  • Account setup
  • Membership
  • Transactions
  • Fuel purchases

may be subject to the provider’s separate refund or cancellation policy.

15. Temporary & Trip Permits

Permit fees are generally non-refundable once:

  • The permit application has been submitted
  • The permit has been issued
  • A jurisdiction fee has been paid
  • Processing has started with a third-party permit provider

Permit denial or changes in travel plans do not necessarily make fees refundable.

16. Load Board Access

Load board fees may become non-refundable once access has been activated or a subscription has started.

Third-party load board subscriptions are subject to the provider’s own cancellation and refund policies.

17. Bookkeeping & Payroll

Fees for completed bookkeeping or payroll work are non-refundable.

If a recurring service is canceled, the customer may remain responsible for work already completed during the current billing period.

18. Customer Errors or Incomplete Information

AFS DOT is not responsible for refunds when delays, rejections, or additional work result from:

  • Incorrect information provided by the customer
  • Missing documents
  • Incorrect VIN
  • Incorrect EIN
  • Incorrect USDOT or MC information
  • Outdated business information
  • Failure to respond to information requests
  • Missed customer deadlines
  • Changes requested after filing

Additional fees may apply if corrections, amendments, or new filings are required.

19. Duplicate Payments

If you believe you were charged more than once for the same service, contact us immediately.

Verified duplicate payments will be reviewed and corrected.

20. Cancellation Requests

To cancel a service, contact AFS DOT as soon as possible.

Cancellation does not automatically guarantee a refund.

Refund eligibility will depend on:

  • Whether work has started
  • Whether a filing has been submitted
  • Whether third-party costs have been incurred
  • Whether government fees have been paid
  • How much of the requested service has been completed

21. How to Request a Refund

To request a refund, contact:

Email:
info@afsdot.com

Please include:

  • Your full name
  • Company name
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Service purchased
  • Date of purchase
  • Order or reference number, if available
  • Reason for the refund request

We may request additional information before reviewing your request.

22. Refund Review

Refund requests are reviewed individually.

Approval of one refund does not create an obligation to approve similar requests in the future.

If a refund is approved, the refundable amount will be based on the portion of the service that has not yet been completed and any non-refundable expenses already incurred.

23. Refund Processing

Approved refunds will generally be returned to the original payment method when possible.

Processing times may vary depending on:

  • Payment processor
  • Bank
  • Credit card provider
  • Original payment method

AFS DOT is not responsible for delays caused by banks or payment processors after a refund has been issued.

24. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Before filing a chargeback or payment dispute, we encourage customers to contact us so we can review and attempt to resolve the issue.

Submitting a chargeback does not automatically cancel outstanding obligations for completed services, government fees, or third-party costs.

AFS DOT reserves the right to provide relevant transaction and service documentation to payment processors or financial institutions when responding to a dispute.

25. Changes to This Policy

AFS DOT may update this Refund Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be posted on our website with an updated revision date.

The version in effect at the time of your purchase may apply to that transaction where required by applicable law.
