1. About PowerBoot
PowerBoot ("we," "us," or "our") is an automation consulting firm based in Alberta, Canada. We provide Microsoft 365 management and bespoke automation services to accounting firms. These terms apply to your use of our website at powerboot.ca and to any services you engage us to deliver.
2. Website Use
You may use this website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to use it in any way that violates applicable law, infringes the rights of others, or interferes with the operation of the website or its infrastructure.
We make reasonable efforts to keep website content accurate and current, but we make no warranty that information on this website is complete, accurate, or suitable for any particular purpose. Website content is provided for general information only and does not constitute professional advice.
3. Services
PowerBoot provides automation consulting, implementation, and Microsoft 365 management services to accounting firms. The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees for any engagement are defined in a separate written agreement or statement of work signed by both parties.
These terms apply alongside any such agreement. Where a signed agreement conflicts with these terms, the signed agreement takes precedence for the matters it covers.
4. Client Responsibilities
To enable PowerBoot to deliver services effectively, clients agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information about their systems, processes, and requirements
- Grant timely access to the systems, accounts, and personnel necessary for the engagement
- Ensure they have the legal right to share any data or content provided to PowerBoot
- Review and respond to deliverables, questions, and requests within the timelines agreed upon
- Maintain appropriate backups of data and systems before PowerBoot performs any configuration or automation work
Delays caused by a client's failure to meet these responsibilities may affect timelines and are not attributable to PowerBoot.
5. Intellectual Property
Website content. All content on this website, including text, graphics, and code, is owned by PowerBoot or its licensors and is protected by Canadian copyright law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from website content without our written permission.
Custom deliverables. Automation code, workflows, and other materials developed specifically for a client under a paid engagement are owned by the client upon receipt of full payment, unless the written agreement states otherwise.
PowerBoot materials. General methodologies, frameworks, tools, and reusable components developed independently of any client engagement remain the property of PowerBoot. Where such materials are incorporated into client deliverables, we grant the client a perpetual, non-exclusive licence to use them for their own business operations.
6. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep confidential any information received from the other party that is designated as confidential or that would reasonably be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure.
This obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law. Confidentiality obligations survive the termination of any service engagement for a period of three years.
7. Fees and Payment
Fees for services are set out in the applicable statement of work or service agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, invoices are due within 30 days of the invoice date. PowerBoot reserves the right to pause work on an engagement where invoices remain unpaid beyond this period.
All fees are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. Applicable taxes are charged in addition to stated fees.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PowerBoot's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these terms, the website, or any services will not exceed the fees paid by you to PowerBoot in the three months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
PowerBoot is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits or lost data, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
9. Warranties and Disclaimers
PowerBoot warrants that services will be performed with reasonable skill and care. Except as expressly stated in a written service agreement, services are provided on an "as is" basis without further warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
We do not warrant that automation systems will operate without interruption or error. Third-party services and APIs (including Microsoft 365, Xero, and QuickBooks Online) may change or become unavailable; PowerBoot is not responsible for changes made by third-party providers to their platforms after delivery of a completed engagement.
10. Termination
Either party may terminate a service engagement for convenience by providing 30 days written notice, unless a different notice period is specified in the applicable agreement. Upon termination, the client is responsible for fees for work completed up to the effective date of termination.
PowerBoot may terminate or suspend access to services immediately if a client breaches these terms or a signed agreement and fails to remedy the breach within 10 business days of written notice.
11. Third-Party Services
Our services involve integration with third-party platforms including Microsoft 365, Xero, QuickBooks Online, and others. Your use of those platforms is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies. PowerBoot is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or conduct of any third-party service.
Links from our website to external sites are provided for convenience only. We do not endorse the content of linked sites and accept no responsibility for them.
12. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Alberta, Canada.
