  • Not store passwords in plain text or share login credentials

  • Maintain up-to-date security patches for devices running the Software

GGLR Accounting shall implement industry-standard security measures to protect Licensee Data, including encryption in transit and at rest. However, GGLR Accounting cannot guarantee absolute security and is not liable for breaches arising from Licensee's failure to follow security practices.

 

5. Limitation of Liability

EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER ONTARIO CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT AND CANADIAN LAW, GGLR ACCOUNTING SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR:

  • Lost profits, data loss, or business interruption

  • Indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages

  • Errors in calculations, tax positions, or financial reporting (Licensee remains responsible for reviewing output)

  • Third-party service failures (QuickBooks Online, email providers, payment processors)

  • Any damages exceeding the total fees paid by Licensee in the 12 months preceding the claim

This limitation applies even if GGLR Accounting has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

 

6. Professional Responsibility

Licensee acknowledges that:

  • The Software is a tool to assist in accounting work; it does not replace professional judgment or review

  • GGLR Accounting does not provide tax or accounting advice; Licensee remains responsible for all tax positions and financial reporting

  • Licensee (or the Licensee's accountant) must review all output before submitting to tax authorities, clients, or financial institutions

  • GGLR Accounting is not liable for tax penalties, reassessments, or client claims arising from errors in Licensee's use of the Software

 

7. Term and Termination

 

7.1 Term
This Agreement remains in effect as long as Licensee uses the Software.

10. Consumer Protection and Online Agreements

If you are an individual consumer located in Ontario, certain provisions of Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002 may apply to this Agreement and, where they do, they prevail over any inconsistent term. You have the opportunity to review, accept, or decline this Agreement before first use. Upon acceptance, a copy of this Agreement will be made available to you for future reference via email or through the Service.

 

11. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any disputes shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario, sitting in Toronto, Ontario. By using the Software, Licensee consents to these courts' jurisdiction and waives any objection based on inconvenient forum.

 

12. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force.
