3. GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY

The information provided on this Website is for general informational and educational purposes only.

Website content should not be considered:

  • Individualized tax advice;
  • Accounting advice;
  • Legal advice;
  • Financial or investment advice;
  • Business advice tailored to your specific circumstances; or
  • A substitute for professional consultation.

Tax laws, regulations, financial requirements, and business circumstances can change. Information that may be accurate at the time of publication may subsequently become outdated.

You should consult an appropriately qualified professional before making decisions based on information provided through this Website.


4. NO PROFESSIONAL-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

Your use of this Website, submission of an inquiry, completion of a contact form, email communication, or receipt of information from this Website does not by itself create a professional-client relationship between you and Lineage Tax Group.

A professional-client relationship is established only after Lineage Tax Group has expressly agreed to provide services and any required engagement documentation has been completed.

Until such a relationship has been formally established, you should not assume that Lineage Tax Group is acting as your tax, accounting, financial, legal, or business adviser.


5. NO GUARANTEE OF TAX OR FINANCIAL OUTCOMES

Lineage Tax Group does not guarantee any particular tax result, refund, savings, financial outcome, business result, approval, or other outcome from the use of our services or information.

Tax and financial outcomes depend on individual circumstances, applicable laws, regulations, documentation, and other factors that may be outside our control.

Any examples, estimates, projections, or illustrations provided on the Website are for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as guarantees.


6. CLIENT SERVICES

Specific professional services provided by Lineage Tax Group may be subject to separate engagement letters, service agreements, proposals, invoices, or other contractual documents.

Where there is a conflict between these Terms and a written engagement agreement governing a specific client relationship, the applicable engagement agreement will control with respect to that professional service.

Clients are responsible for providing accurate, complete, and timely information and documentation required for the provision of services.

Lineage Tax Group is not responsible for errors, delays, penalties, or other consequences resulting from incomplete, inaccurate, misleading, or late information provided by a client or third party.


7. FEES AND PAYMENTS

Where services are provided for a fee, applicable fees, payment terms, billing arrangements, and deadlines will be communicated to the client through the applicable proposal, engagement agreement, invoice, or other written arrangement.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • Fees are payable according to the applicable payment terms;
  • Clients are responsible for providing accurate billing information;
  • Additional services outside the agreed scope may incur additional fees; and
  • Late or unpaid amounts may result in suspension or termination of services, subject to applicable agreements and law.

8. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Clients and prospective clients are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate and complete information;
  • Providing requested documents within applicable deadlines;
  • Reviewing information and documents supplied by Lineage Tax Group;
  • Promptly notifying us of relevant changes in circumstances;
  • Responding to reasonable requests for information;
  • Meeting applicable filing, payment, and regulatory deadlines where responsibility remains with the client; and
  • Maintaining appropriate records and documentation.

While we may assist with tax and compliance obligations under an applicable engagement, clients remain responsible for the accuracy and completeness of information they provide.
