Section 1 - Scope of Services
Services are limited strictly to those identified in the executed service agreement and the accepted quote. Any work not expressly included in the accepted quote is outside the scope of engagement.
Section 2 - Fees and Billing
The Client agrees to compensate the Service Provider in accordance with pricing, billing type, and billing frequency set forth in the accdepted quote. Frees may be assed as a flat rate, per project, hourly, or as a percentage of revenue, as indicated on the accepted quote. If the Service Agreement specifies a recurring billing frequency, including monthly or quarerly billing, the total contract value stated on the accepted quote represents the full value of the engagement and shall be divided into equal installments based on the selected billing frequency, unless otherwise stated on the service agreement. The accepted quote is incorporated into the Service Agreement by reference and governs all pricing, payment structure, and billing frequency. Late payments incur a late charge equal to five percent of the oustanding balance per month or fifty dollars per billing period, whichever amount is greater. Continued nonpayment results in suspension of services until all outstanding balances are paid in full.
Section 3 - Personal Liability, Release of Liability, and Indemnification
The client agrees to release, indemnify, and hold harmless the Service Provider, its officers, members, employees, and agents, from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or related to the services provided under this Agreement, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Service Provider.
The Service Provider expressly states they are not a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or licensed accountant. The Service Provider is a registered Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) holder with the IRS and provides services within his scope. The client acknowledges that they may consult with a CPA or other licensed professional at any time, and may suspend the service agreement upon written notice to the Service Provider for such consultation. Should the client decide to reinstate the service agreement following consultation, they must provide written notice to the service provider, at which point the terms of service of this agreement shall resume in full effect.
If the client consults with a CPA or other licensed professional and receives recommendations regarding the services provided under this agreement, the service provider may review the recommendations. The client acknowledges that they have the right to make an informed decision to continue with the Service Provider’s methods and services despite the recommendations provided by the CPA.

This release and indemnification shall survive the termination or completion of this agreement and shall be binding upon the client and their successors or assigns.
Section 4 - Confidentiality
The Service Provider agrees to keep all information shared by the client confidential and not disclose it to any third party except as required to perform the services under the service agreement. If information is required by a third party, such as for loan applications or similar purposes, the Service Provider may provide a modified statement including only the necessary information. Any modification shall exclude the Service Provider’s name, business details, or proprietary information unless otherwise agreed upon. The modified statement may include redacted or summarized financial details that satisfy the third party’s requirements while maintaining confidentiality and the Service Provider’s proprietary interests.

This Agreement may be terminated by either party with 30 days’ written notice. If termination occurs with the 30-day notice period, no fees will be charged for the remaining months of the agreement. No refund will be provided if the contract is terminated earlier and the services for the length of the contract are prepaid.
In the event of breach of contract, termination will be effective immediately. If the breach is caused by the client, any remaining balance for the contracted term will become due in full immediately.
If termination is initiated due to malpractice or breach of contract by the Service Provider, the client is not obligated to pay for services beyond the effective date of termination. All services rendered up to the termination date must still be compensated by the client.
Upon termination of the agreement, whether through the 30-day notice period or due to nonrenewal, the Service Provider shall provide all finalized work products to the client within ten business days of the termination date. Any proprietary materials or drafts that are incomplete will remain the property of the Service Provider unless otherwise agreed in writing. The client will be responsible for maintaining work products beyond the termination of the agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of state(s) where both parties reside.
