Terms of service

1. Who these terms are between

These terms are an agreement between you (and the organization you act for, together “you”) and [Company legal name] (“we”, “us”), the provider of Attest (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service you accept them. If you are accepting on behalf of an organization, you confirm you are authorized to do so.

2. What the Service does

Attest ingests financial data you provide or connect, applies accounting rules you author and approve, and produces drafted journal entries and financial statements for your review. The Service does not post to your general ledger on its own, and nothing it produces is filed, submitted, or transmitted to any third party by us.

3. Not accounting, tax, audit, or legal advice

The Service is a tool, not an accountant. Its output is a draft for a qualified person to review. We are not a public accounting firm and we do not provide accounting, tax, audit, or legal advice. You remain responsible for the accuracy of your books, for the rules you approve, for reviewing every entry before you post it, and for compliance with the accounting standards and laws that apply to you. Nothing in the Service is a substitute for professional judgment.

4. Your account

You are responsible for the security of your account and for activity under it. Tell us promptly at abe.kim92@gmail.com if you believe it has been compromised. You must be old enough to enter a contract in your jurisdiction and must not be barred from using the Service under applicable law.

5. Your data stays yours

You keep all rights to the data you upload or connect (“Customer Data”). You grant us only the permission needed to run the Service for you: to store, process, and display Customer Data back to you, and to keep the backups and logs described in the privacy policy. We do not sell Customer Data, and we do not use it to train machine-learning models.

You are responsible for having the right to give us the data you provide, including any data belonging to your own clients.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• break the law with the Service, or use it to help someone else do so;
• upload data you are not entitled to provide, or data outside the scope of what the Service is for;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other customers' data, or the infrastructure behind it;
• interfere with the Service's operation, or use it to store or distribute malware;
• resell or white-label the Service without a written agreement with us.

Good-faith security research is welcome — see the security page for how to report a finding.

7. Availability and changes

The Service is provided on an early-access basis. We do not currently commit to an uptime service level. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features, and we will give reasonable notice of a material change or discontinuation where we can.

8. Fees

Where the Service is provided free of charge, we may begin charging on notice, and you may stop using it rather than accept new fees. Any paid plan is governed by the pricing terms presented at the time you subscribe.

9. Third-party services

The Service depends on third parties — including hosting, database, bank-aggregation, and AI providers listed in the privacy policy. Their availability and their own terms affect the Service, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions beyond our obligations to you here.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that its output is correct or complete for your purposes.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or data. Our total liability arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or [amount]. These limits do not apply to a party's fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence, or to any liability that cannot be limited by law.

12. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your Customer Data or your use of the Service in breach of these terms, other than to the extent the claim results from our own breach.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for a material breach of these terms, or if required by law. On termination we will, at your request, provide an export of Customer Data and then delete it in accordance with the privacy policy.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will post the revised version here and, for material changes, notify account holders by email. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in [venue — county to be confirmed with counsel]. Delaware is named because the provider is incorporated there; [confirm on incorporation].
