Welcome to Atlanta Business Services, LLC (“ABS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), an Atlanta, Georgia-based provider of small business accounting, bookkeeping, financial advisory, and business support services. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, atlantabusinessservices.com, our professional services, and any related materials, communications, portals, or resources we provide (collectively, the “Services”).

ABS serves businesses in Atlanta, the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, throughout Georgia, and, where appropriate, clients in other locations through remote service delivery. By accessing our website or using our Services, you agree to these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a business or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

2. Description of Services

Atlanta Business Services provides accounting, bookkeeping, tax preparation support, financial advisory, fractional CFO/business advisory, and business consulting services tailored to the needs of small and growing businesses. Our services may include monthly bookkeeping, account reconciliations, financial reporting, tax-related support, financial planning, cash-flow analysis, strategic business guidance, and other services described in a written proposal, engagement letter, or service agreement.

Our Atlanta accounting and advisory services are customized based on each client’s needs. The specific scope, deliverables, timing, and fees for an engagement will be stated in the applicable written proposal or agreement. ABS does not provide legal advice. Clients should consult a licensed attorney for legal matters and other appropriately licensed professionals when specialized advice is required.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering a binding contract to use our Services. Certain Services may require access to a client portal, software platform, or other account. You agree to provide accurate and current information and are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for activity occurring under your account.

ABS may suspend or terminate access to an account or Service when necessary to protect client information, our systems, third parties, or ABS, or when these Terms or an applicable service agreement are violated.

4. Fees and Payment

Fees for Atlanta Business Services engagements are stated in the applicable proposal, service agreement, invoice, or other written communication. Unless otherwise stated in writing, invoices are due within 30 days and may be paid by bank transfer, credit card, or another approved payment method.

Past-due balances may incur interest of 1.5% per month, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Work requested outside the agreed scope may result in additional fees. Refunds, if any, are provided at the discretion of ABS and subject to the applicable service agreement. Completed advisory sessions and completed professional services are non-refundable unless otherwise required by law or agreed in writing.

5. Client Responsibilities and Information

Our accounting, bookkeeping, and advisory work depends on the completeness and accuracy of information supplied by the client. You agree to provide timely access to financial records, statements, systems, documents, approvals, and other information reasonably needed for us to perform the Services.

You are responsible for reviewing information and reports provided by ABS and promptly notifying us of known errors, missing information, or material changes. ABS is not responsible for delays, inaccuracies, penalties, or outcomes caused by incomplete, inaccurate, late, or withheld information supplied by a client or third party.

6. Intellectual Property

The content of the Atlanta Business Services website, including our branding, logos, written materials, graphics, templates, processes, and other proprietary content, is owned by or licensed to ABS and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use our website and materials for their intended purpose. You retain ownership of financial records, documents, and other data you submit to us. You grant ABS the limited right to access, process, store, and use that information as reasonably necessary to provide the Services and meet our legal and professional obligations. ABS content may not be copied, republished, distributed, or commercially exploited without prior written permission.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to use our website or Services for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or unauthorized purposes; provide information you know to be materially false or misleading; attempt to interfere with the security or operation of our systems; gain unauthorized access to accounts or data; or violate the intellectual property, privacy, contractual, or other rights of ABS or any third party.

ABS may restrict or terminate access to Services when prohibited conduct is suspected or confirmed.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided without warranties beyond those expressly stated in a written service agreement. ABS is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, or business interruption arising from use of the Services.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ABS’s aggregate liability relating to the Services will not exceed the fees paid to ABS for the applicable Services during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Financial and business advisory recommendations are based on information available to us at the time and do not guarantee a particular business, tax, financial, or operational outcome.

9. SMS Messaging Terms and Conditions

10. SMS Carrier Liability Disclaimer

SMS delivery depends on effective transmission by your mobile carrier and is not guaranteed. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Atlanta Business Services, LLC is not responsible for delays or failures in the receipt of SMS messages when delivery is affected by a carrier’s network, service availability, device settings, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

11. Termination of Services

ABS may suspend or terminate Services for non-payment, material breach of these Terms or an applicable service agreement, unlawful or abusive conduct, security concerns, or other reasons permitted by the applicable engagement terms. Where appropriate, notice will be provided.

Upon termination, all outstanding fees and other amounts owed to ABS remain due. Provisions relating to payment obligations, intellectual property, confidentiality where applicable, limitations of liability, dispute resolution, and other provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise, disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services will be handled in Atlanta, Georgia, through mutually agreed dispute-resolution procedures, arbitration when applicable and enforceable, or a court of competent jurisdiction, including small claims court when appropriate.

To the extent permitted by law, claims must be brought on an individual basis and not as part of a class, collective, or representative action. Because dispute-resolution and arbitration provisions can affect legal rights, ABS recommends that this section be reviewed by Georgia legal counsel before publication.

13. Changes to These Terms

Atlanta Business Services may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, business practices, technology, or legal requirements. Updated Terms will be posted on our website, and we may provide additional notice by email or another reasonable method when appropriate. Continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
