Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing or using the website, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the website. If you use the website on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" includes both you and the organization.

2. About Beankeeper and the Website

Beankeeper provides fractional finance department services to businesses. Depending on the written engagement, services may include bookkeeping, controller support, financial planning and analysis, and fractional CFO support. The website provides general information, marketing content, resources, and ways to contact us or request a consultation.

3. Client Engagements and Contract Priority

Using the website, submitting a form, scheduling a call, or receiving preliminary information does not create a client relationship, fiduciary relationship, accountant-client relationship, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship. Beankeeper becomes engaged only through a written agreement signed or otherwise accepted by authorized representatives.

Client services are governed by the applicable engagement letter, master services agreement, statement of work, order form, or other written agreement. If these Terms conflict with a signed client agreement, the signed client agreement controls with respect to the client services.

4. Informational Content; No Professional Advice

Website content is provided for general informational and educational purposes. It is not individualized accounting, tax, legal, investment, or financial advice and should not be relied on as a substitute for advice based on your specific facts. Do not make a material business, tax, investment, or legal decision solely on the basis of website content.

Beankeeper does not provide tax-return preparation through the website. References to third-party tax, legal, investment, or other specialists do not make Beankeeper responsible for their services or advice.

5. Pricing, Illustrations, Testimonials, and Results

Any pricing, package description, savings estimate, performance figure, timeline, dashboard, illustration, case study, or testimonial on the website is general information unless expressly identified as a binding offer. Actual scope, staffing, fees, timing, and deliverables depend on the client's needs and the applicable written agreement. Website prices may be starting prices or examples and may change without notice.

Past results and testimonials do not guarantee future results. Business outcomes depend on many factors outside Beankeeper's control, including the accuracy and timeliness of client information, market conditions, management decisions, and third-party systems.

6. Eligibility and Business Use

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of agreeing to these Terms. The website is directed primarily to business users. You are responsible for ensuring that your use complies with laws and policies applicable to you and your organization.

If you voluntarily provide ideas or feedback about the website or services, Beankeeper may use that feedback without restriction or compensation, provided we do not publicly identify you without permission.

10. Communications

When you contact us, you consent to receive transactional communications responding to your request. Where permitted by law, we may also send marketing communications. You can opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link or by contacting support@beankeeperinc.com. Opting out of marketing does not prevent administrative or service-related communications.

11. Third-Party Services and Links

The website may link to or integrate services operated by third parties, including scheduling, analytics, communications, social-media, hosting, or other providers. Third parties control their own services and privacy practices. Beankeeper does not endorse or assume responsibility for third-party content, availability, security, or practices solely because a link or integration appears on the website.

12. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information associated with the website. By using the website, you acknowledge the practices described in that policy.

13. Website Availability and Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE WEBSITE AND ALL WEBSITE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." BEANKEEPER DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, current, or free of harmful components, or that any content will be complete or suitable for your circumstances. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BEANKEEPER AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE WEBSITE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF BEANKEEPER AND THE OTHER RELEASED PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE WEBSITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID BEANKEEPER, IF ANY, SPECIFICALLY FOR ACCESS TO THE WEBSITE DURING THE SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THIS LIMIT DOES NOT ALTER LIABILITY EXPRESSLY ACCEPTED IN A SIGNED CLIENT AGREEMENT.

15. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Beankeeper and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from your unlawful use of the website, your material violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from Beankeeper's own unlawful conduct.

16. Suspension or Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the website when reasonably necessary to protect the website, users, Beankeeper, or third parties; respond to suspected violations; comply with law; or discontinue the website. Provisions that by their nature should survive will remain in effect.

17. Changes to the Website or Terms

We may modify the website and these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be posted with a revised "Last updated" date. Changes apply prospectively when posted unless a later date is stated. Your continued use after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law. Material changes may receive additional notice.

18. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to any controlling signed client agreement and any nonwaivable law, the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from or related to the website or these Terms, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction.

19. General Terms

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement concerning use of the public website, but they do not replace a signed client agreement. If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, merger, sale, or transfer of the website or business. Headings are for convenience only.
