Payment Policy and Responsibilities on Notary Everyday

This article outlines Notary Everyday's role as a platform connecting notaries with signing services, clarifies that all payments are handled by the hiring company, and explains why uploading your W-9 matters.

⚠️ Urgent notice: Notary Everyday is not responsible for processing, issuing, or distributing payments for any notary services facilitated through its platform. All financial obligations — including payment amounts, schedules, and disbursement — are the sole responsibility of the client, signing service, or hiring company. Notary Everyday assumes no liability for payment disputes, delays, or non-payment. To avoid payment disruptions, notaries must upload a valid W-9 to their Notary Everyday profile or provide it directly to the hiring company upon request. All payment-related inquiries must be directed to the client, signing service, or hiring company.


Disclaimer

Notary Everyday is solely a technology platform that facilitates connections between notaries and signing opportunities. Notary Everyday does not determine, process, or distribute payments for services rendered by notaries. All financial obligations — including but not limited to payment amounts, schedules, and disbursement — are the exclusive responsibility of the client, signing service, or hiring company that contracts the notary's services.

By using Notary Everyday, notaries acknowledge that all payment-related matters must be handled directly with the hiring party. Notary Everyday assumes no liability for payment disputes, delays, non-payment, or any financial discrepancies.


1. Who Determines and Processes Payment?

When a notary completes an assignment through Notary Everyday, the client or signing service is fully responsible for:

  • Setting the payment amount for each signing.

  • Determining the payment schedule and processing method.

  • Issuing payments directly to the notary.

Notary Everyday does not process or track any payments. All payment-related inquiries, including delayed or missing payments, must be directed to the client or signing service that issued the order.


2. Ensuring Payment: Uploading Your W-9

To help signing services and hiring companies process payments efficiently, notaries are required to upload their W-9 form to their Notary Everyday profile.

Why is the W-9 important? The W-9 is a standard tax document hiring companies use to issue payments to independent contractors, including notaries. Failing to provide a valid W-9 may result in delayed or withheld payments, since companies are required to have this documentation before issuing compensation.

Where do I upload my W-9? Upload it directly within your Notary Everyday profile. This ensures hiring companies have access to the required documentation, which helps facilitate prompt payment.

What happens if I don't upload my W-9? If a W-9 isn't uploaded to the platform, you are responsible for providing it directly to the signing service or hiring company upon request. If the hiring party doesn't have a W-9 on file, they may not be able to issue payment.


3. Payment Notifications and Communication

  • Notary Everyday does not issue payment confirmations or notifications.

  • Any payment-related updates, including processing and status, are handled exclusively by the client or signing service.

  • It is the notary's responsibility to monitor email and other communication channels for payment updates.


4. Addressing Payment Issues

If you experience a delay, discrepancy, or non-payment, take the following steps:

  1. Confirm that your W-9 is uploaded to Notary Everyday or has been sent directly to the hiring company.

  2. Check for email or other communications from the signing service regarding payment status.

  3. Contact the client or signing service directly to inquire about the payment.

  4. Keep a record of all correspondence regarding payment issues for documentation.

Notary Everyday does not intervene in payment disputes and is not responsible for enforcing or facilitating payment resolutions. All financial matters must be resolved directly between the notary and the hiring party.


5. Payment Policy and Legal Acknowledgment

By using the Notary Everyday platform, notaries acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • Notary Everyday does not process, issue, track, or guarantee payments for services performed through the platform.

  • All payments are determined, scheduled, and processed by the client, signing service, or hiring company.

  • If a W-9 is not uploaded to the platform, it is the notary's responsibility to provide it directly to the hiring company upon request to facilitate payment.

  • All payment-related inquiries, including disputes and delays, must be directed to the client or signing service responsible for issuing the payment.

  • Notary Everyday is not liable for any non-payment, late payment, or payment discrepancies arising from engagements facilitated through the platform.


6. Final Notice

Notary Everyday is strictly a facilitator of signing opportunities and does not participate in financial transactions between notaries and hiring companies.

  • Payments are managed solely by the client or signing service.

  • Failure to upload a W-9 may result in payment delays or non-payment.

  • All financial matters must be handled directly between the notary and the hiring party.

By ensuring your W-9 is properly uploaded and maintaining clear communication with hiring companies, you can help facilitate a smooth payment process.
