I have also received acopy of the complaint in the action, two copies of this instrument, and a means by whichI can return the signed waiver to you without cost to me.I agree to save the cost of service of a summons and an additional copy of thecomplaint in this lawsuit by not requiring that I (or the entity on whose behalf I amacting) be served with judicial process in the manner provided by Rule 4.I (or the entity on whose behalf I am acting) will retain all defenses or objections to thelawsuit or to the jurisdiction or venue of the court except for objections based on adefect in the summons or in the service of the summons.I understand that a judgment may be entered against me (or the party on whose behalfI am acting) if an answer or motion under Rule12 is not served upon you within 60 daysafter or within 90 days after that date if the request was sent (request date) outside the United States. Date SignaturePrinted/Typed Name: As of (Title) (Corporate Dft) Duty to Avoid Unnecessary Costs of Service of SummonsRule 4 of the Fed.R.Civ.P. requires certain parties to cooperate in saving unnecessarycosts of service of the summons and complaint. A defendant located in the UnitedStates who, after being notified of an action and asked by a plaintiff located in theUnited States to waive service of a summons, fails to do so will be required to bear thecost of such service unless good cause be shown for its failure to sign and return thewaiver. It is not good cause for a failure to waive service that a party believes that the complaintis unfounded, or that the action had been brought in an improper place or in a court that<<<<<<<<<********>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3lacks jurisdiction over the subject matter of the action or over its person or property. Aparty who waives service of the summons retains all defenses and objections (exceptany relating to the summons or the service of the summons), and may later object tothe jurisdiction of the court or to the place where the action has been brought.A defendant who waives service must within the time specified on the waiver form serveon the plaintiffs attorney (or unrepresented plaintiff) a response to the complaint andmust also file a signed copy of the response with the court. If the answer or motion isnot served within this time, a default judgment may be taken against that defendant. Bywaiving service, a defendant is allowed more time to answer than if the summons hadbeen actually served when the request for waiver of service was received.
