You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login details and for all activity carried out under your account.

You must notify us promptly if you become aware of any unauthorised access to your account or any other security breach.

6. Your Data

You retain ownership of the data, records, documents, and other information you upload or enter into the software. You grant us the limited rights needed to host, process, transmit, back up, and display that data solely for the purpose of operating and improving the software and supporting your use of it.

You are responsible for the legality, accuracy, and integrity of the data you submit and for ensuring that you have the right to use and share it with us.

7. Availability and Changes

We may update, modify, suspend, or withdraw all or part of the software from time to time for operational, security, legal, or business reasons.

We will use reasonable efforts to keep the software available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

We may provide trial accounts for a limited period to allow you to evaluate the software. Trial accounts are permitted on a preview basis only without warranty.

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue trial accounts at any time without notice.

8. Fees and Trial Access

Where we provide a free trial, promotional access, or paid subscription, the specific pricing, limits, and billing terms made available to you at the time of sign-up will apply in addition to these terms.

We may suspend or restrict access if charges due to us are not paid when required.

9. Third-Party Services

The software may integrate with or link to third-party services, websites, or providers. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, or terms.

Your use of third-party services may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies.

10. Disclaimer

The software is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties, representations, conditions, and other terms that may apply to the software.

Nothing in the software constitutes legal, tax, accounting, or other regulated professional advice unless we have expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, data, or anticipated savings arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the software.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

12. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if we reasonably believe that you have breached these terms, created a security or legal risk, failed to pay applicable fees, or used the software in a prohibited way.

On termination, your right to use the software will end immediately, but any provisions of these terms that by their nature should continue will remain in force.

13. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Northern Ireland. Any dispute or claim arising from or connected with these terms or the software will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Northern Ireland, unless applicable consumer law requires otherwise.
