Additive Provides Accounting Tools, But Is Not An Accountant
Our Services are not a substitute for a professional accountant, and Additive is not an
accounting firm and is not providing you professional accounting counsel. If you require help filing your taxes, you should consult a licensed accountant in your area.
​
We provide online tools and materials to assist you with the preparation and understanding of your own financial documents and related information. The document templates and other materials available through the Services, including any descriptions, information and other help resources (collectively, the "Document Materials") are for informational purposes only; they are not the work of professional accountants and are not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. We do not review the Document Materials or any information you input for accuracy.
​
​
You Must Ensure Your Account Integrity
Certain parts of the Services require that you have a User Account. You are responsible for all activity that happens on or through your User Account. You may not access or use another person's User Account. Additive is not liable for any harm you incur as a result of another person's use of your User Account. You may be held liable for any harm Additive incurs as a result of another person's use of your User Account.
​
Each User Account is associated with a single email address and you will choose the email address you register for a User Account. If the domain of the email address associated with a User Account is owned or controlled by an organization (such as your employer or school), you grant that organization and its User Account administrator(s) permission to: (a) identify User Accounts associated with the domain owned or controlled by the organization; and (b) administer your User Account (which includes suspending or canceling it, resetting potential passwords, or accessing usage, profile, content, or other User Account information). You acknowledge and agree that we may assist the organization with such administration.
