TERMS OF SERVICE

Updated Date: September 4, 2020

Here at TICKETBUST, we beat tickets for less, and we keep things simple. That goes for our Terms of Service too, so we’ve aimed to break down everything you need to know, before you “BUST YOUR TICKET,” in simple terms that make sense.

If you’ve got questions about our Terms of Service, or don’t agree with what you see here, then hold off on TICKETBUST for now. You can get answers by dropping an email to info@ticketbust.com.

Thank you for choosing staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud (TicketBust). We are a self-help Legal Document Assistant Service which prepares a Trial by Written Declaration for you to submit to court to contest your traffic ticket. A Trial by Written Declaration is a way to contest a traffic infraction ticket in California, in writing, without having to make an appearance in court. We are not a law firm, cannot provide legal advice, and cannot make any appearance in court on your behalf. It is your responsibility to mail your completed Trial by Written Declaration documents to court along with your bail check in the amount specified by your court. The court must receive this no later than your due date. It is recommended that you send your documents along with your bail check by certified mail no later than 5 days prior to your due date.

This Agreement is Between You and TicketBust:

These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud (“TICKETBUST,” or “we,” or “us,” or “our” in this agreement) and applies to the products and services of staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud on all platforms and mediums (including the website staging-vadusuxe.kinsta.cloud, our mobile website, apps, emails, and documents generated using TicketBust). By using TICKETBUST, you consent to our terms.
By using the TICKETBUST service, you acknowledge that:

  • you have read and agreed to this agreement; and,
  • that you are of age (at least 18) and legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

Anywhere in this agreement where we refer to your use of TICKETBUST or TICKETBUST service, we mean to include:

  • documents or forms generated through TICKETBUST;
  • the emails TICKETBUST sends out; and,
  • content and functionality of any of TICKETBUST’s websites or applications.

Keep in mind, we plan on updating this agreement every-so-often, so please keep checking back.

TicketBust is a Legal Document Assistant, not a Law Firm:

TICKETBUST is a do-it-yourself tool, created by our team of attorneys, designers, and engineers, designed to help you create and receive a “Trial by Written Declaration- defense package” (“the document,” or “legal document,” or “documents,” in this agreement), which includes:

  • a written defense statement;
  • a Trial by Written Declaration (TR-205) form; and,
  • instructions for your use in contesting a California traffic infraction ticket through a Trial by Written Declaration.

The TICKETBUST service uses document templates or forms which have been approved by licensed attorneys; but, TICKETBUST is not a law firm, does not practice law, and does not give legal advice. Therefore, we:

  • don’t act as your attorneys;
  • are not a substitute for an attorney’s advice;
  • don’t have an attorney-client relationship with you; and,
  • all information you provide us, while protected by our Privacy Policy, is not protected by attorney-client privilege or as attorney work product.

We do not review any information you provide us for legal accuracy or sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide opinions about your answers on the online questionnaire, or apply the law to the facts of your situation.
In any action you take through TICKETBUST services, you are representing yourself (e.g. you are a “defendant in pro per”), and it is your responsibility to meet any court deadlines (including submitting your documents to the court on time, posting bail on time, and complying with any court order or requirement relating to your ticket).

It is your responsibility to mail your completed Trial by Written Declaration documents to court along with your bail check in the amount specified by your court. The court must receive this no later than your due date. It is recommended that you send your documents along with your bail check by certified mail not later than 5 days prior to your due date.

In the event your traffic ticket is not dismissed or reduced, you have the option to request a new trial from the court. To do this you must file a Trial de Novo – TR220 within 20 days of the court finding you guilty on the Trial by Written Declaration. You can request this document from us. If you are eligible for traffic school, you may also request this from the court at this time.

Required Items You Must Submit to TicketBust:

After signing up for the TicketBust service the process of preparing your documentation immediately begins and we require that you provide us the following:

  1. Signed Copy of this Terms of Service and Service Contract– This will be completed online when you log into your account.
  2. Signed Notice to Consumer – This will be completed online when you log into your account.
  3. Copy of your traffic ticket – This is a copy of the ticket the officer handed to you, or for red light camera violations the ticket you received in the mail with photos of the driver. You can take a picture of it and upload it to your account or email it to us.
  4.  Copy of your Driver’s License – You can take a picture of it and upload it to your account or email it to us.
  5. Incident details – To properly prepare your documents we require you to provide us your traffic ticket details by simply logging into your TicketBust account and answering your online ticket questionnaire
  6. Supporting documents if the court requires any – such as insurance, registration, proof of corrections – – This is not required for all tickets. The ticket the officer handed to you will indicate if the violation is correctable.

Document Modification:

You understand that the document you create (through providing a copy of your driver’s license, ticket, and answering series of questions in an online questionnaire) cannot be amended by TICKETBUST after the document has been created and sent to you, so you must provide correct information when creating the document.
Since we do not provide opinions about your answers on the online questionnaire or apply the law to the facts of your situation, it is your responsibility to ensure any documentation you submit to court is true, correct, and accurate.
The completed document you purchase from TICKETBUST is submitted to you electronically – you will receive a soft copy, unprinted digital document file (PDF).
If you choose to modify the document, you must do so on your own. TICKETBUST cannot give any opinions or recommendations about any modifications you request.

TicketBust Content is Subject to Change and Not Guaranteed.

We are constantly striving to keep TICKETBUST’s documents and content accurate and up-to-date; however, the laws change periodically, and we cannot guarantee that all of the information contained in the TICKETBUST service, is always current.

The law varies between different jurisdictions and may be interpreted differently as such by the various courts and judges. If legal advice for a specific, complex, or unique circumstance is needed, you should consult a licensed attorney. We do not guarantee that our products and services are appropriate for your jurisdiction; and, no Governmental entity has evaluated our knowledge or experience, or the quality of our service.

TicketBust is Only Intended for Certain California Traffic Tickets:

TICKETBUST’s service is intended for use in contesting a current California traffic infraction ticket. The TICKETBUST service is not for you, if your ticket:

  • is past due ticket (or has a failure to appear);
  • has a mandatory appearance;
  • is a misdemeanor;
  • is a parking ticket;
  • is not filed with a California Superior Court;
  • is not issued in your name; or,
  • if you can’t post bail for your ticket (bail is a court requirement and you must contact the court where your ticket is filed for the required amount).

Your Options if you are Found Guilty after a Trial by Written Declaration:

In the event your traffic ticket is not dismissed or reduced after completing the Trial by Written Declaration process, you have the option to request a new trial from the court. To do this you must file a Request for New Trial (TR-220) within 20 calendar days of the postmarked date on the court decision notice finding you guilty on the Trial by Written Declaration.
Through TICKETBUST you can opt to purchase a completed set of documents for use in requesting the New Trial (TR-220) to contest the ticket a second time.

If you wish to attend traffic school after being found guilty, in lieu of contesting the ticket again in a Trial De Novo, contact the court to determine your eligibility. Through TICKETBUST you can opt purchase a completed document for use in requesting Traffic School.

TICKETBUST does not guarantee that your ticket will be dismissed by using the TICKETBUST service, because, ultimately the decision is that of the particular judge reviewing your case, not TICKETBUST. Therefore the fees you pay to TICKETBUST to get documents are nonrefundable regardless of the outcome of your case.

In the course of the TICKETBUST service, you may come across links to other websites, which are completely independent of TICKETBUST, and are provided to you only as a convenience.
