All content, features, and functionality available on the TaxWise website, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, video clips, software, code, design elements, and the selection and arrangement thereof, are owned by Deyang Huidi Tax and Finance Consulting Co. Ltd., its licensors, or other providers and are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

The TaxWise name, logo, and all related trademarks, service marks, and trade names are proprietary to the Company. You may not use, reproduce, modify, or distribute any such marks without our express prior written consent. All other trademarks appearing on our website are the property of their respective owners.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use our website for informational purposes and to evaluate our services. This license does not include any right to download, copy, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, sell, or otherwise exploit any content for any commercial purpose without our written consent.

With respect to deliverables created for clients under a service agreement, the ownership and licensing terms for such deliverables shall be specified in the applicable service agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Company retains ownership of all pre-existing intellectual property, tools, frameworks, methodologies, and know-how used in the creation of deliverables, and grants the client a perpetual license to use the deliverables for their internal business purposes.

8. Payment Terms and Billing

The fees for our professional services are determined based on the scope, complexity, and duration of each engagement. Specific pricing, payment schedules, invoicing procedures, and accepted payment methods will be detailed in the applicable service agreement or statement of work. All fees are quoted and payable in the currency specified in the agreement.

Unless otherwise stated, all professional fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, duties, and other governmental charges. You are responsible for paying all taxes associated with your purchase of services, excluding taxes based on the net income of the Company. If the Company is required to collect or remit any taxes on your behalf, such amounts will be added to your invoice.

Invoices are due and payable within the timeframe specified on each invoice, typically thirty calendar days from the invoice date. Late payments will accrue interest at the rate of one and one-half percent per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. The Company reserves the right to suspend services if payment is not received within the agreed timeframe after providing reasonable notice to the client.

9. Refund and Cancellation Policy

Our refund and cancellation policies are designed to be fair to both parties while recognizing the custom nature of our professional services. For project-based engagements, the specific cancellation terms, including any applicable notice periods, termination fees, and refund entitlements, are set forth in the service agreement governing that engagement.

For fixed-price projects, if you cancel an engagement before we have commenced substantive work, you may be entitled to a full or partial refund of any advance payments, less an administrative fee to cover the cost of project initiation and resource allocation. If work has already commenced, the refund amount will be calculated on a pro-rata basis according to the percentage of work completed as of the cancellation date, plus any non-recoverable third-party costs incurred by the Company.

For time-and-materials engagements, you are responsible for payment of all hours worked and expenses incurred up to the effective date of cancellation. You may cancel such engagements at any time with at least seven days written notice, unless a different notice period is specified in your service agreement.

The Company reserves the right to cancel any engagement upon reasonable notice if we determine that the client is in material breach of these terms or any applicable service agreement, has provided false or misleading information, or has engaged in conduct that makes the continuation of the engagement impractical, unlawful, or detrimental to our business reputation.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Deyang Huidi Tax and Finance Consulting Co. Ltd., its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use our website or services.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or the use of our website and services, whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory, shall not exceed the total amount of fees you have actually paid to the Company in the twelve-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. If you have not paid any fees to the Company during such period, our liability shall be limited to one hundred United States dollars.

The limitations of liability set forth in this section shall apply even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of whether the remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain types of liability, so the above limitations may not apply to you in their entirety.
