Terms

How this site may be used, what a short call is, and when work actually starts.
Who these terms are with
Services on this site are provided by Steven Palmieri, Dallas, Texas. Using this site means you accept this page. What is and is not done here is set out on the Disclosures page, and those limits are part of these terms.
What the pages are
Everything published here is general information for an owner. It is not advice about your own numbers. Reading it does not make you a client. Rules change and land differently on different facts, so confirm anything that matters for your return before you rely on it.
A short call is a conversation
The time offered on the calendar creates no engagement, no ongoing duty, and no obligation on either side. We will say plainly what we see and what an engagement would involve, including when the honest answer is that you do not need one yet.
Work begins only when both sides sign a written engagement letter that names the scope and the fee.
Scope and fees
Every engagement is defined in writing before it starts. Fees match that scope. Anything outside it is quoted before it is done. Either side may end an engagement in writing. You remain responsible for fees earned to that date, and your records are returned.
What the work needs from you
The work is only as good as the records under it. You are responsible for complete and accurate records, for what sits in your own systems, and for the decisions you make. We will tell you when something does not tie. We will not build on a month that has not closed.
The site itself
The words, layouts, and images on this site belong to the practice that publishes it. You may read them, print them, and quote them with attribution. You may not republish the site or use it to train a product without written permission.
The site is provided as it stands. We keep it accurate and available, and we do not promise it will never be wrong or never be down. Nothing here limits a liability that the law does not allow to be limited.
Where this is governed
These terms are governed by the law of the State of Texas, and any dispute belongs in the courts of Dallas County, Texas.
Photographs and short quotes
You may quote a sentence from these pages if you name the page. You may not copy the layout, the photographs, or a whole article into another product. The credits page names the photograph files. A quote that drops the limit on signatures is a bad quote. The limit travels with the sentence.
The site may link to the practice hub. That link does not make the hub part of these terms, and these terms do not govern the hub. Each site keeps its own page.
