TermsofEngagement.

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms of Engagement as of the “Last updated” date above. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

The Site is intended for use by adults located in the United States. By using the Site, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and that your use complies with applicable law.

The Site is informational. It describes QNOW Consulting Inc. and the categories of services we offer. Visiting the Site, contacting us through a web form, sending us an email, or speaking with us by telephone does not, in itself, create an accountant-client relationship, an engagement, or any other professional relationship.

Content on the Site is general in nature and is not, and should not be construed as, individualized tax, accounting, legal, or investment advice. No fiduciary duty arises from the Site. Do not act, or refrain from acting, based on Site content without obtaining professional advice tailored to your facts.

We provide paid services only under a written engagement letter countersigned by an authorized representative of QNOW Consulting Inc. The engagement letter sets out scope, deliverables, fees, authorities and consents (including any consents required under Internal Revenue Code Section 7216), and the limitation of liability for that engagement. To the extent of any conflict between these Terms and your engagement letter, the engagement letter controls for that engagement.

Any tax information on the Site is provided for general informational purposes. It is not intended or written by QNOW Consulting Inc. to be used, and cannot be used by any person, for the purpose of (a) avoiding penalties that may be imposed under the Internal Revenue Code or under any state or local tax provision, or (b) promoting, marketing, or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed in the content.

The Site and all of its contents, including text, graphics, layout, source code, the “QNOW” and “QNOW Consulting” names, the stylized Q mark, logos, and any tagline, are owned by QNOW Consulting Inc. or its licensors and are protected by United States and international intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the Site for your personal, non-commercial use. All other rights are reserved. Without our prior written consent you may not:

• Reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, or publicly display Site content.
• Scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Site.
• Use Site content to train, fine-tune, or otherwise build any machine-learning model, large-language model, or generative artificial-intelligence system, or to create datasets used for such purposes.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Site.
• Use the “QNOW” name or our marks in a way that suggests sponsorship or endorsement we have not given.

If you submit information through a contact form or by email, you grant QNOW Consulting Inc. a limited license to use that information for the sole purpose of responding to you and considering whether to enter into an engagement.

Do not submit confidential, sensitive, or tax-related personal information through unsecured channels. Web forms and standard email are not secure. To send tax documents, identifiers, or financial account information, contact us by phone at (646) 326-7003 and we will provide a secure submission method.

You agree not to:

• Use the Site to violate any applicable law or regulation.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Site, our servers, or our networks, including by overloading, flooding, or sending malicious code.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or data.
• Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person.
• Use the Site to harass, threaten, defame, or otherwise harm another person.
• Use any robot, spider, scraper, or similar automated means to access the Site for any purpose without our written permission.

The Site loads typeface assets from a third-party content delivery network (Fontshare). Use of that service is subject to the provider’s terms. We are not responsible for content, products, services, or practices of third-party sites or services linked from or embedded in the Site.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, QNOW CONSULTING INC. AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST GOODWILL, OR LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITE IS CAPPED AT THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD 100). THIS CAP DOES NOT MODIFY THE LIABILITY CAP IN ANY ENGAGEMENT LETTER, WHICH GOVERNS PAID PROFESSIONAL SERVICES SEPARATELY.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless QNOW Consulting Inc. and its officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Site, (b) your breach of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

You consent to receive communications from us electronically, including by email and through the Site. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Where you sign engagement documents electronically, you consent to the use of electronic signatures under the federal E-SIGN Act and the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (ESRA).

Email is not a secure medium for sensitive tax or financial information. Do not transmit Social Security Numbers, banking information, or tax documents to us by unencrypted email. Use the telephone number below or request a secure submission method.

Before commencing any formal proceeding, the parties will provide thirty (30) days’ written notice of the dispute and attempt in good faith to resolve it. Notices must be delivered using the contact details below.

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of [CONFIRM venue; common starting point: the state and federal courts in New York County, New York] for any action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site, and waive any objection to venue in those courts.

• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Protocol and any engagement letter you have signed with us, constitute the entire agreement between you and QNOW Consulting Inc. regarding the Site.
• Headings. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, including for conduct that violates these Terms or is harmful to us, our clients, or third parties. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and dispute resolution.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on the Site. Continued use of the Site after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, fire, flood, severe weather, public health emergencies, government action, civil unrest, war, terrorism, cyberattack, internet or utility outages, or labor disputes.
