These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the FinanceOCR website (financeocr.com) and the FinanceOCR Pre-Sign-Off Structural Diagnostic ("Service"), operated by Sifa Tech LLC ("FinanceOCR," "we," "us," "our"). By accessing the website or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
FinanceOCR provides a structural diagnostic tool that identifies data integrity patterns in tax software exports across CCH Axcess, GoSystem RS, Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE, Corptax, and similar platforms. The Service operates as a client-side application: file processing occurs entirely within your browser, and no file content is transmitted to FinanceOCR servers during diagnostic execution.
The Service is intended for use by tax professionals, certified public accountants, and corporate tax departments. By using the Service, you represent that you are authorized to do so by your firm or organization, that you are at least 18 years old, and that you will use the Service only for legitimate professional purposes.
You agree not to:
If your use of the Service involves any account-based access (such as engaged customer access), you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of credentials and for all activities that occur under your access.
Use of the Service beyond the publicly available diagnostic demonstration may require an engagement under a separate engagement letter. Engagement terms, fees, and deliverables are governed by the engagement letter you execute. Standard engagement terms include:
All rights in the Service, including the diagnostic engine, taxonomy, software, documentation, design elements, and trademarks, are owned by FinanceOCR or its licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.
You retain all rights in tax export files you process through the Service. Because the Service operates client-side and does not transmit file contents to FinanceOCR, we obtain no rights in your content through your use of the Service.
Reports generated by the Service (Export Exception Summaries, Scorecards, Workpaper Notes) are owned by you upon generation. You may use, share, modify, and incorporate these outputs into your professional work product without restriction.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. FinanceOCR disclaims all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
The Service is a structural diagnostic tool, not a tax advisory service. The Service determines whether factors can be proven from the exported components — it does not determine whether reported amounts or tax positions are correct. No information provided by the Service constitutes tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, or any form of professional opinion. Findings must be reviewed and acted on by qualified tax professionals exercising independent professional judgment. FinanceOCR is not responsible for tax positions taken, returns filed, or professional conclusions drawn based on diagnostic output.
The Service identifies known structural patterns within its diagnostic taxonomy. It does not guarantee detection of all errors, irregularities, or compliance issues that may exist in scanned files. Files cleared by the diagnostic may still contain issues outside the scope of structural pattern detection.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, FinanceOCR's total cumulative liability arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to FinanceOCR in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability, or one hundred dollars ($100) if no fees have been paid.
FinanceOCR shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, regardless of the cause of action and even if FinanceOCR has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless FinanceOCR and its officers, employees, and agents from claims arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any law or third-party right; (c) any tax position, filing, or professional conclusion you make based on diagnostic output; or (d) your gross negligence or willful misconduct.
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms or for any other reason at our discretion. Termination does not affect any obligations or liabilities accrued prior to termination. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) shall survive.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict of law principles. The federal and state courts located in Wyoming shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising out of or related to these Terms, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidentiality rights.
Before initiating formal legal proceedings, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation for at least sixty (60) days following written notice of the dispute.
We may modify these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email to engaged customers and noted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after a Terms update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and any executed engagement letter, constitute the entire agreement between you and FinanceOCR regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
FinanceOCR's failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or any other provision.
You may not assign these Terms without FinanceOCR's prior written consent. FinanceOCR may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
