We provide the following tax-related services:
Our services are provided by qualified tax professionals in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and professional standards, including IRS Circular 230 and state professional licensing requirements.
We do not provide legal advice, investment advice, or financial planning services beyond the scope of tax preparation and consulting. For matters outside our expertise, we may refer you to appropriate professionals.

You agree to respond promptly to requests for information and to notify us immediately of any changes that may affect your tax situation. Failure to provide timely information may delay the preparation of your returns and could result in late filing penalties.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach.
Fees for our services are based on the complexity of your tax situation and the services provided. You will be informed of applicable fees before services are rendered. Fees may include:
Payment is due upon completion of services unless otherwise agreed in writing. We accept payment via credit card, debit card, ACH transfer, and check. A convenience fee may apply to certain payment methods.
Unpaid balances may be subject to a late payment fee of 1.5% per month (18% annual percentage rate) or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is less. We reserve the right to suspend services for accounts with outstanding balances.
Fees paid for services already performed are non-refundable. If you are dissatisfied with our services, please contact us immediately to discuss resolution options. Refunds for services not yet rendered may be provided at our sole discretion.
OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY YOU TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,000), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
You acknowledge that you are ultimately responsible for your tax returns and for any tax liabilities, penalties, or interest assessed by tax authorities. We are responsible for preparing your returns with due professional care based on the information you provide, but we are not liable for penalties or interest resulting from information you failed to provide or inaccuracies in the information you supplied.
We are not liable for actions taken by third parties, including the IRS, state tax authorities, or other governmental agencies. We are not responsible for delays or failures in service caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including technical failures, natural disasters, or government actions.

Our tax professionals comply with IRS Circular 230, which governs practice before the Internal Revenue Service. We will not knowingly prepare or file false or fraudulent tax returns.
We will notify you if we identify any conflicts of interest that may affect our ability to represent you. We reserve the right to decline representation if we determine that a conflict cannot be resolved.
We reserve the right to terminate our engagement with you if we discover fraud, material misrepresentation, non-payment of fees, or if continued representation would violate professional ethics rules or legal requirements.
All content, software, logos, trademarks, and materials provided through our services are owned by or licensed to Highlight Tax Services and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You acknowledge that certain communications may not be protected by attorney-client privilege and that we may be required to disclose information pursuant to valid legal process or IRS summons.
If you have a dispute with us, you agree to first contact us to attempt to resolve the matter informally. We are committed to addressing your concerns promptly and fairly.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services that cannot be resolved informally shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in [Your County/State].
YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.
Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to prevent the infringement of intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations. Small claims court actions are exempt from the arbitration requirement.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [Your State], without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any court proceedings (if not subject to arbitration) shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in [Your County/State].
You may terminate our services at any time by providing written notice. You remain responsible for payment of fees for services already performed. We will provide you with copies of your tax documents upon request.
We may terminate our services immediately if you breach these Terms, fail to pay fees, provide false information, or engage in conduct that we determine is inappropriate or illegal. We will provide notice of termination when reasonably possible.
Upon termination, you must pay all outstanding fees. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including confidentiality obligations, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution provisions.
In the event of a data breach involving your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable federal and state data breach notification laws. Notification will be made without unreasonable delay and will include information about the nature of the breach and steps you can take to protect yourself.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on our website and updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.
If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using our services. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
By using our services, you represent and warrant that:
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any written engagement letter, constitute the entire agreement between you and Highlight Tax Services regarding our services and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to any affiliate or successor in interest without your consent.
We shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, network infrastructure failures, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
