Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: May 1, 2025

THESE TERMS CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, AS WELL AS CONDITIONS, LIMITATIONS, AND EXCLUSIONS THAT MAY APPLY TO YOU. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

Throughout these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”), “You” and “Your” refer to (1) the individual who places an order for remote accounting services offered by us through our website or otherwise, or (2) the company or organization on whose behalf an individual places an order. Individuals placing an order are required to: (a) accept these Terms without modification and (b) affirm they have the legal authority to bind the named organization to these Terms.

These Terms apply to the purchase and use of all remote accounting services (“Services”), including bookkeeping, payroll, and CFO support, through our website (“Site”).

Article I: Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using our Site or Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please refrain from using our Site or Services.

Article II: Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms:

  • Client, You, Your: The individual or organization accessing our Site or Services and complying with these Terms.
  • Company, We, Us, Our: Refers to our organization providing remote accounting services.
  • Service: Refers to our remote accounting services, including bookkeeping, payroll, and CFO support.
  • Site: Refers to our website.

Article III: Order Acceptance and Cancellation

Your order is an offer to purchase the Services listed, subject to your acceptance of these Terms without modification. We may choose not to accept orders at our sole discretion, even after sending a confirmation email with your order number and details (“Order Confirmation Email”). Orders may not be changed or canceled without our written consent, which we may withhold at our discretion.

All payments are non-refundable. There are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. We may, at our discretion, provide a refund or discount as required by law.

Article IV: Prices and Payment Terms

Prices for Services are quoted on our Site in U.S. Dollars and are subject to change. The price charged will be the price in effect at the time of your order, as stated in your Order Confirmation Email. Some Services require a minimum commitment of twelve (12) months (“Minimum Term”), with automatic renewal for successive one-year periods (“Successor Term”) unless either party provides written notice of termination at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the term. We may adjust prices after the Minimum Term expires.

Posted prices exclude applicable taxes or government charges, which will be added to your total and itemized in your Order Confirmation Email. We reserve the right to correct any pricing errors or omissions and cancel orders resulting from such errors.

Payment terms are at our discretion. We may require you to authorize automatic payments via ACH. You represent that: (i) all account information provided is true and correct, (ii) you are authorized to use ACH, (iii) charges will be honored by your bank, and (iv) you will pay all charges, including taxes, at the posted prices. Overdue payments will incur a late fee of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is higher. You will be liable for all costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by us to collect overdue amounts. Failure to pay on time constitutes a material breach, and we may refuse additional Services until all overdue amounts, including late fees, are paid in full.

Article V: Performance of Services

Our performance of Services is contingent on your cooperation and timely provision of necessary information, such as access to financial records. You agree that all information provided to us is true and accurate. We retain ownership of any work product (e.g., analyses, reports) created during the Services until full payment is received, after which ownership transfers to you. Services will be performed on a schedule outlined in the Order Confirmation Email or as mutually agreed in writing.

Article VI: Termination of Services

Services may be terminated: (i) by mutual agreement of the parties; (ii) by either party if the other commits a material breach and fails to cure it within 30 days of written notice; or (iii) by us with at least 30 days’ prior written notice, without liability to you.

Article VII: Confidentiality

We will keep your information confidential and use it only to provide the Services. This obligation does not apply to information: (i) learned from a third party not under a known confidentiality obligation to you; (ii) publicly available; (iii) required to be disclosed by law or judicial process; or (iv) independently developed by us without using your confidential information.

Article XI: Warranty and Disclaimers; Limitation of Liability

Services are provided in a professional manner in accordance with applicable laws. Unless expressly stated or required by law, all Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties, including: (i) warranty of merchantability; (ii) warranty of fitness for a particular purpose; or (iii) warranty against infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, whether implied by law or otherwise. Some jurisdictions may not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so this may not apply to you.

Limitation of Liability: To the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any consequential, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or enhanced damages, including lost profits, arising from or related to these Terms or the Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if we were informed of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability will not exceed the amounts you paid us in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding any claim.

Article XII: Privacy

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Our Privacy Policy, available on our Site, governs the processing of personal data collected through our Services and is part of these Terms.

Article XIII: Relationship of Parties; Subcontractors

We are an independent contractor. These Terms do not create a joint venture or partnership between us. We may subcontract parts of the Services to third parties (e.g., using tools like QuickBooks or Gusto) without your approval, but we remain responsible for their actions.

Article XIV: Non-Solicitation

During the term of your engagement with us and for twelve (12) months after termination, you shall not directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, or hire our employees for services similar to those we provide. Breach of this section will result in liquidated damages equal to one year’s salary for each affected individual.
