# Terms of Service (ToS)
**Apex Ledger Pro - Advanced Corporate Administration Suite**
*Last Updated: June 2026*

Welcome to Apex Ledger Pro. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your acquisition, license activation, and use of the Apex Ledger Pro desktop software utility, license keys, and local network synchronization servers.

---

### 1. License Acquisition & Seat Allocation
Acquisition of an authorized license key grants the activation of a single software seat on one workstation node. Any attempt to activate multiple synchronized workstation nodes under a single licensed seat key will result in automatic, permanent deactivation of the associated license key without refund or liability.

### 2. General Tax & Financial Disclaimer
* **Non-Payment of Taxes:** The Licensor does not calculate, estimate, pay, withhold, or report any local, state, or federal taxes, nor does it calculate payroll tax escrows, corporate income tax allocations, or regulatory filings.
* **Liability remains with the Company:** All financial decisions, cash-flow allocations, tax calculations, and legal tax compliance filings remain the exclusive personal and legal liability and responsibility of the corporate Licensee.

### 3. Exclusions of Technical Support
* **As-Is Utility:** The Software is provided strictly as a stand-alone, offline desktop utility on an "AS-IS" basis. 
* **Support Excluded:** The Licensor is under no legal obligation to provide any technical support, developer consultations, custom updates, hotfixes, bug patches, or database repair maintenance contracts. No support SLAs are active.

### 4. Exclusion of Liabilities for Software Glitches & Bugs
* **No Liability for Losses:** TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LICENSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY FINANCIAL LOSSES, REVENUE LOSSES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR LOSS OF CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL DATA (INCLUDING LOGGED TRANSACTION RECORDS, GENERAL LEDGERS, JOURNAL ENTRIES, INVOICES, OR CRYPTOGRAPHIC VAULT SECURITY KEYS) RESULTING FROM SOFTWARE BUGS, GLITCHES, CALCULATION ERRORS, CRASHES, SYSTEM FAULTS, OR SOFTWARE MALFUNCTIONS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
* **Sole User Responsibility:** Financial decisions and database file backups remain the sole operational liability of the Licensee.
* **Maximum Liability Limit:** The maximum cumulative liability of the Licensor under any claim shall be strictly limited to the actual subscription seat fee paid by the Licensee for the software within the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

### 5. Product Modifications & Feature Retirement
The Licensor reserves the right to modify, adjust, or retire specific product features (such as local synchronizers, offline OCR parsers, or third-party email campaign templates) at any time without liability, notice, or refund obligations.
