Terms.

Who these terms are with.

Services on this site are provided by Steven Palmieri, Dallas, Texas. If you keep using these pages, you are accepting the terms written here. What is and is not done on this site is set out in full on the Disclosures page, and those limits are part of these terms.

What the pages here are, and are not.

Everything published on this site is general information for business owners. These sentences stay general, and they do not become a reading of your own books. Reading these pages does not apply the words to your own books, and it does not make you a client of the practice. A rule you read here can change, and it can land differently on your facts than on a neighbor's, so check it against your own return before you rely on the sentence.

A free call is a conversation.

The 30-minute call offered on this site creates no engagement, no ongoing duty and no obligation on either side. On that call we will tell you what we see in the month and what an engagement would cover, and we will also say when the honest read is that you do not need an engagement yet. Nothing in the work starts until you and we have both signed a written engagement letter that names the scope and the fee.

Engagements, scope and fees.

Every engagement is defined in writing before it starts. The fee we quote covers the scope named in that letter. Work past that scope gets its own quote before we start it. An engagement can be ended by you or by us, and the ending has to be in writing. Fees earned up to the ending date are still owed, and the records you gave us come back to you.

What the work depends on from you.

The work is only as good as what it is built on. You are responsible for giving us complete and accurate records. Complete and accurate records come from you. What sits in your own systems stays your responsibility, and the decisions you make stay yours. If a figure does not tie to the statement, we tell you. We do not start the next piece of work on a month that is still open.

The site itself.

The words, layouts and images on this site belong to the practice that publishes it. You may read a page, print it, and quote a passage if you name this site as the source. Republishing these pages, or feeding them to a product so it can train on them, needs written permission from the practice first.

The site is provided as it is. We work to keep the pages accurate and reachable. We do not promise that a page will never be wrong and we do not promise that the site will never be down. If a Texas rule says a kind of liability cannot be limited, this page does not try to limit it.

Where this is governed.

These terms are governed by the law of the State of Texas, and any dispute belongs in the courts of Dallas County, Texas. These terms stay the same whether you read them at the shop or at the kitchen table. You see the page. The place you read it does not change these terms, and a dispute still belongs in the courts of Dallas County.
