‍

If your Order Form contains additional terms and conditions, then those terms and conditions govern to the extent they conflict with any of these terms.

‍

1.5. Unauthorized uses of the Services
You will only use the Services in accordance with the BizPilot Acceptable Use Policy. We may suspend or terminate provision of the Services, in whole or in part, where we believe it is being used in a manner that breaches this agreement (including the Acceptable Use Policy) or creates risk of personal injury, property damage, or legal liability for BizPilot, you or any third party, or may cause BizPilot to lose the services of one of our third-party service providers. You represent and warrant that any information you provide to us about your (or, if you are acting on behalf of another, that person’s) business, products, or services is accurate and complete.

‍

1.6. Modifications to the Services

‍

1.7. Facilities and data transfer
All facilities used to store and process Customer Data will adhere to reasonable security standards no less protective than the security standards at facilities where BizPilot stores and processes its own information of a similar type.

transactions in your books to expense accounts and to balance sheet accounts for amortization purposes and/or (c) sync your payroll data via Zoho Payroll. Any modifications made by you or on your behalf (e.g., by a third party service provider other than BizPilot) to your books may adversely impact Services previously performed by BizPilot, causing BizPilot to have to re-perform such Services in order to correct any resulting inconsistencies or inaccuracies or to confirm that there are no such inconsistencies or inaccuracies. To avoid these types of situations that are undesirable not only for BizPilot but also for you, you hereby appoint BizPilot as your exclusive third-party bookkeeper. If you engage another third-party service provider to make changes to your books, or you otherwise make changes to your books directly, while you have engaged BizPilot to provide the Services, BizPilot reserves the right to terminate your subscription at any time upon written notice without a refund of prepaid fees for unelapsed months of the Services.
