These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of Carpco Connection, an internal accounting practice management platform operated by Carpenter & Company, CPA ("Carpenter & Company," "we," "us," or "our").
1. Internal Use Only
Carpco Connection is an internal business tool developed and operated exclusively by Carpenter & Company, CPA for use by authorized firm staff. This platform is not offered to the general public and does not constitute a commercial software product or service.
Access is granted solely to employees and authorized contractors of Carpenter & Company, CPA. Unauthorized access is strictly prohibited.
2. QuickBooks Online Integration
As part of our accounting services, Carpenter & Company may request that clients authorize a connection between their QuickBooks Online company and this platform via Intuit's OAuth 2.0 authentication flow. By authorizing this connection, clients agree to:
- Grant Carpenter & Company read access to the reference data listed in our Privacy Policy for the sole purpose of performing accounting services.
- Allow Carpenter & Company to store synchronized reference data in our secure internal database for the duration of the engagement.
- Acknowledge that they may revoke this authorization at any time through their QuickBooks Online account or by contacting us directly.
Authorization does not grant us access to make changes to the client's QuickBooks Online company unless separately and explicitly agreed upon in writing as part of our engagement letter.
3. Scope of Services
Carpco Connection is used to support the accounting services described in each client's individual engagement letter with Carpenter & Company, CPA. These Terms do not define or limit the scope of those accounting services — the engagement letter governs the services.
This platform is a tool to facilitate those services, not a standalone service offering.

- We do not guarantee that platform data is complete, current, or error-free at any given moment.
- Clients are responsible for maintaining accurate records in their QuickBooks Online company.
- Financial statements, trial balances, and other outputs produced using this platform remain subject to professional review by a licensed CPA before delivery.

6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Carpenter & Company, CPA shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of or inability to access this platform, including but not limited to data loss, service interruption, or errors in synchronized data.
Our total liability arising from use of this platform shall not exceed the fees paid to Carpenter & Company, CPA under the applicable engagement in the three months preceding the claim.
7. Termination
We may suspend or terminate platform access at any time, including at the conclusion of a client engagement. Upon termination, OAuth tokens will be revoked and client data will be deleted per our data retention policy.
8. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of competent jurisdiction in Georgia.
