Accountancy website terms and conditions

Accountants' websites - and indeed other websites that publish accountancy-related content - present particular risks.

There are various ways in which a person may suffer loss by following advice or guidance relating to accountancy. For instance, acting upon out-of-date or summary information could result in non-compliance with the laws relating to accounts preparation. This terms and conditions document is intended to help mitigate these risks.

In addition to those specialist provisions that cover risks related to accountancy information, these terms and conditions include general terms relating to rights to use the website, acceptable use, user accounts and user content.

The terms and conditions do not contain any provisions relating to payments or paid-for services, and should not be used in relation to any contracts under which accountancy or other professional services will be provided.
