End-User License Agreement

1. The Service

The Anvil QuickBooks Connection (the “Service”) is operated by Scale Anvil LLC (“Anvil,” “we,” or “us”). With the customer’s authorization, it connects to the customer’s QuickBooks Online companies, including client companies an accounting-firm customer manages through QuickBooks Online Accountant, and reads accounting information for bookkeeping review, reconciliation, monthly-close and audit-support work.

2. License

Subject to this agreement and a written engagement, we grant the customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for its internal business purposes. The Service is not licensed for resale or for use on behalf of an organization that has not authorized access.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to share credentials or circumvent access controls; access another organization’s data without authorization; probe, disrupt, reverse-engineer, or interfere with the Service; or use the Service unlawfully.

4. Customer Data

Customers own their data. We access it only with the customer’s authorization and only for the engagement. We do not sell customer data or use it for advertising.

5. QuickBooks Online

The Service connects through Intuit’s OAuth authorization. The customer chooses which companies to connect and can revoke access at any time in QuickBooks under Settings > Apps, or by emailing shane@scaleanvil.com. Intuit’s single “accounting” permission technically allows both reading and writing, but Anvil’s connection is limited to reading: we never create, edit, or delete QuickBooks records. Authorization tokens are held by our integration provider, Executor (executor.sh), which makes QuickBooks API calls on our behalf.

6. AI-Assisted Review

We use AI tools to help analyze the data. A person at Anvil reviews the outputs before delivery. Customer data is not used to train AI models.

7. Customer Responsibilities

Customers are responsible for authorizing appropriate users, maintaining accurate source data, reviewing outputs before relying on them, and complying with applicable law. The Service does not provide tax, legal, or other professional advice, and we do not prepare or file tax returns.

8. Security and Availability

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the Service and the data it processes. The Service is provided on a commercially reasonable-efforts basis and may be modified or suspended for security or maintenance.

9. Disclaimer

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. CUSTOMERS REMAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR BUSINESS DECISIONS AND THE ACCURACY OF THEIR SOURCE SYSTEMS.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANVIL'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNTS PAID FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. ANVIL IS NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

If a signed engagement agreement with the customer differs from this section, the signed agreement controls.

11. Suspension and Termination

Access may be suspended or terminated for material breach, unlawful use, security risk, or the end of the customer relationship. Data return and deletion requests are handled as described in the Privacy Policy, subject to applicable legal obligations.

12. Changes

We may update this agreement. Material changes will be posted here with a revised effective date. Continued use after the updated terms take effect constitutes acceptance.
