GENERAL TERMS

Agreement includes by reference:
Account Serve’s Privacy Statement.
Additional terms and conditions, which may include those from third parties.
Any terms provided separately to you for the Services, including product or program terms, ordering, activation, payment terms, etc.

2. YOUR RIGHTS TO USE THE SERVICES

2.1 The Services are protected by copyright, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. You are only granted the right to use the Services and only for the purposes described by Accounts Serve. Accounts Serve reserves all other rights in the Services. Until termination of this Agreement and as long as you meet any applicable payment obligations and comply with this Agreement, Accounts Serve grants to you a personal, limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable right and license to use the Services.

Decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Services.
Make the Services available on any file-sharing or application hosting service.

3. PAYMENT

For Services offered on a payment or subscription basis, the following terms apply, unless Accounts Serve or its third-party affiliate notifies you otherwise in writing. This Agreement also incorporates by reference and includes program ordering and payment terms provided to you on the website for the Services:

Payments will be billed to you in U.S. dollars, and your account will be debited when you subscribe and provide your payment information unless stated otherwise in the program ordering or payment terms on the website for the Services.
You must pay with one of the following:
1. A valid credit card acceptable to Accounts Serve;
2. A valid debit card acceptable to Accounts Serve;
3. Sufficient funds in a checking or savings account to cover an electronic debit of the payment due; or
4. By another payment option Accounts Serve provides to you in writing.
If your payment and registration information is not accurate, current, and complete and you do not notify us promptly when such information changes, we may suspend or terminate your account and refuse any use of the Services.
If you do not notify us of updates to your payment method (e.g., credit card expiration date), to avoid interruption of the Services, we may participate in programs supported by your card provider (e.g., updater services, recurring billing programs, etc.) to try to update your payment information, and you authorize us to continue billing your account with the updated information that we obtain.
Accounts Serve will automatically renew your monthly, quarterly, or annual Services at the then-current rates, unless the Services subscription is canceled or terminated under this Agreement.
In certain instances, we will give you a non-binding estimate based upon your representations about the complexity of your tax return(s). Because unforeseen or changed circumstances might affect this original fee estimate, your actual fees may exceed the original fee estimate without notification to you in advance.
In certain circumstances, Accounts Serve reserves the right to ask for a retainer, minimum of $60.00 or 25.00%, whichever is greater, based on the estimated price of the tax return. If a retainer is not requested, invoices for services are due when rendered and interim billings may be submitted as work progresses. Once the return is complete, you will either be billed for the additional cost or receive a refund if the cost is less than the retainer. We respectfully request the balance of invoice no later than the time of delivering.
In the event that any balance is past due, we reserve the right to cease working on your return(s) or providing any other services until the balance has been paid in full. If you have a balance on your account after 15 days, there will be a late fee of 1.50% (18.00% per year) added to the second billing and on each monthly statement thereafter. At any time after the second billing, your account may be sent to collections. You will be responsible for any court costs, attorneys’ fees and any costs associated with collections. In the event of returned checks, an additional charge of $30.00 will be applied towards your invoice. Any balance due after an event of a returned check must be paid via cash, money order or cashier’s check.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) before a single AAA arbitrator under the AAA’s rules, which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees and costs will be governed by the AAA’s rules for Professional Accounting and Related Services Disputes.

If you notice an error or receive third correspondences relating to the work performed by Accounts Serve, you must inform us within 30 days of the date on the first notice (phone calls and text messages are not acceptable). In the event of an examination or other government contact, we are available to represent you upon request. Accounts Serve, LLC is also available year-round to answer questions and provide tax planning. Representation, planning, and other such services requested will be billed to you, at an agreed-upon rate, as our efforts are incurred, including direct expenses for computer services, fax transmissions, report production, and out of pocket costs, including travel expenses.

14. GENERAL

This Agreement, including the Additional Terms below, is the entire agreement between you and Accounts Serve regarding its subject matter and replaces all prior understandings, communications, and agreements, oral or written, regarding its subject matter. If any court of law, having the jurisdiction, rules that any part of this Agreement is invalid, that section will be removed without affecting the remainder of the Agreement. The remaining terms will be valid and enforceable.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

2. SERVICES

2.1. Documents Required For The Desired Services

The client agrees to furnish all information that is necessary for the desired services and is responsible for the proper recording of transactions in the books of accounts, for the safeguarding of assets, and the substantial accuracy of the financial records. The client is also responsible for maintaining sufficient documentation to substantiate all items of income and deduction claimed.

As a general rule, we require that all information be provided to us no less than 30 days before the date when you expect us to deliver your tax return(s). Be aware that if you submit your data after the date requested, we may not be able to keep our commitment in terms of delivery.

2.2 Document Retention

It is our policy to retain work papers related to this engagement for five years. Upon the expiration of the five years, you agree that we shall be free to destroy our work papers. When records are returned to you, it is your responsibility to retain and protect your records for possible future use, including potential examination by any government or regulatory agencies. You should retain the tax records related to the current year’s tax returns, including any receipts, statements, or other supporting documentation, for at least five years after it was filed since any additional assessments are usually made during this period.

There is a minimum charge of $25.00 for the time and efforts involved in providing you with additional copies of your tax returns, so please retain the copies you receive from us

2.3. Electronic Filing Services

If you choose to file your return electronically, the tax return will be forwarded to Accounts Serve’s Electronic Filing Center, where it will be converted to and stored in a standardized format, and then transmitted to the applicable federal and/or state taxing authority. You are responsible for verifying the status of your return to confirm that it has been received and accepted by the applicable taxing authority and, if necessary, for filing it manually in the event that the taxing authority rejects your electronically filed return (e.g., taxpayer name and SSN don’t match). You agree to review your tax return for indications of obvious errors before electronically filing or mailing it. To the extent required by applicable law and regulation, Accounts Serve stores and maintains information that you provide to Accounts Serve.
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will begin accepting electronically filed returns on approximately January 15 of the applicable tax filing season. If your federal tax return is complete before that date, we will file your tax return as soon as IRS begins accepting your tax returns or as otherwise permitted by the IRS and supported by Accounts Serve. By using this Service to prepare and submit your tax return, you consent to the disclosure to the IRS and any other tax or revenue authority of all information relating to your use of the Electronic Filing Services.

2.3 Pricing

Prices for the various Services are ultimately determined at the time of either selecting the desired service, or by Accounts Serve at the time of completing the services, and all prices are subject to change without notice.
