Terms of Use

Acceptance

By using the Website, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

What this website is

The Website provides information about our bookkeeping and financial coaching services. You can read our articles, send us a message through the contact form, request our free resource through the freebie form, or book a consultation through our online calendar. The Website does not have user accounts, and you cannot buy anything or make a payment on it. Any services we provide to you are arranged directly with us and are covered by a separate agreement between you and us.

General information only, not professional advice

Our articles, FAQs, and other content are general information about bookkeeping and related topics. They are not accounting, tax, legal, or financial advice, and they are not tailored to your situation. Rules and deadlines change, and what is right for one business may be wrong for another. Please speak with a qualified professional before acting on anything you read here. Reading the Website or contacting us through it does not make you our client.

Forms and information you send us

When you use the contact form or the freebie form, the details you enter are sent to us by email so we can reply to you. All personal information you give us through these forms is provided voluntarily by you filling out the fields; we collect nothing through the forms unless you submit it. Please give accurate information and do not send us sensitive details such as Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or passwords through these forms. By submitting information through the Website, you agree that, to the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for issues arising from the information you chose to share. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle what you send.

Cookies and analytics

The Website does not run analytics or advertising tools and sets no tracking cookies. The contact and freebie forms use a Cloudflare Turnstile security check to block spam. Our Privacy Policy explains what it does and how we handle your information.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Website for anything unlawful or to harm others;
• Send us false, misleading, or someone else's information, or pretend to be another person or business;
• Send spam, malicious code, or automated or excessive requests through our forms;
• Scrape, copy at scale, or otherwise interfere with the Website or its security; or
• Try to gain access to parts of the Website or its systems that are not meant for you.

Ownership of content

The text, articles, images, logo, and design of the Website belong to Cents of Clarity or are used with permission. You may view and share links to the Website for your own personal or business use, but you may not copy, republish, or sell our content without our written permission. Certification badges and third-party logos shown on the Website belong to their respective owners.

Third-party links and services

The Website links to services and websites we do not control, including our online booking calendar, social media pages, certification bodies, and local businesses listed on our Local page. We do not endorse or recommend the listed businesses, and we are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or services of any outside site. Your use of those sites is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Website is provided "as is" and "as available." We work to keep it accurate and running, but we do not promise that its content is complete, current, or error-free, or that it will always be available or free of interruptions.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cents of Clarity is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website, or from relying on its content. This does not limit anything that cannot lawfully be limited, and it does not change the terms of any separate services agreement between you and us.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updates are posted on this page and take effect when posted. If you keep using the Website after an update, you accept the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any dispute about them or the Website will be handled in the courts located in Shasta County, California.
