The short version. Use it for your own books, keep your password to yourself, and understand that a tool that records numbers is not an accountant. Your books are yours. You can take them out or have them deleted at any time. We will keep it running as well as we can, but we cannot promise perfection and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
Quaestor Books is provided by Steven Lawrence LLC. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean that company, and "you" means the person using the service. Creating an account means you accept what is written here.
Quaestor Books records money in and money out and turns it into statements. It does the arithmetic exactly as instructed.
It is not an accountant, a bookkeeper, or a tax adviser. It does not check whether an entry is in the right category, whether an expense is deductible, or whether a filing is correct. Those judgements are yours, and they are worth taking to a professional. A statement produced here is a statement of what you recorded, and nothing more.
We do not audit anything. Statements say so on their face.
What you record is yours. We do not sell it, mine it, train anything on it, or use it to advertise to you.
We keep the right to run the service — to store your entries, back them up, and display them back to you — and nothing beyond that.
Use it for lawful record keeping, for a business or for yourself. Do not:
There is no charge at present. If that changes, you will be told by email before anything is billed, and you will have the chance to export your books and leave rather than pay. We will not add a card requirement to an account retroactively and charge it.
We aim to keep the service available and correct, and we will fix what breaks. We do not promise it will never be down, never be slow, and never contain a fault. The database is copied nightly and the last two weeks of copies are kept, but you should keep your own exports of anything you cannot afford to lose. That is good practice with any software, including ours.
The service is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we do not give warranties beyond what is written here.
We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss — lost profit, lost business, a loan that did not come through, a filing that went wrong. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim, which today is nothing.
None of this limits liability for anything the law does not permit us to limit, including fraud.
You can stop using the service at any time and delete your account yourself, from Settings. Nothing about that requires our agreement or our help.
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, that is being used to attack the service, or where the law requires it. Except where something is seriously wrong, we will tell you first and give you the chance to export your books.
If we ever shut the service down entirely, we will give notice by email with enough time to get your books out.
If these change, the date at the top changes with them. Anything that materially affects your rights will be sent to your email address rather than quietly edited in.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, and any dispute belongs in the courts sitting there.
Use the contact form, or email booksquaestor@gmail.com. Either reaches the same person.
