Last updated: July 18, 2026
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Clarke CPA Group website. By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
No professional advice and no client relationship. The content on this website is general information only. It is not tax, accounting, legal, or financial advice, and it should not be relied on for any specific situation. Using this site, submitting the contact form, or emailing us does not create a CPA-client relationship. That relationship begins only when we and you sign a written engagement letter.
Use of This Site
You may use this site for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:
- Use the site in any way that violates applicable law or regulation
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the site, our systems, or our client portal
- Interfere with or disrupt the site, including through automated scraping, bots, or denial-of-service activity
- Transmit malicious code or use the contact form to send unsolicited commercial messages
- Reproduce, republish, or redistribute site content without our written permission
Accuracy of Information
Tax law, accounting standards, and regulatory requirements change frequently, and their application depends heavily on individual facts. While we make reasonable efforts to keep the site accurate, we make no representation that the content is current, complete, or applicable to your circumstances. You should not act on anything here without first consulting a qualified professional about your specific situation.
Intellectual Property
The content of this site, including text, design, graphics, and the Clarke CPA Group name and logo, is our property or is used with permission, and is protected by copyright and trademark law. You may view and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial reference. Any other use requires our prior written consent.
Third-Party Links and Services
This site links to third-party websites and services, including our secure client portal hosted by SmartVault and services provided by Google. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, or practices. Links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement.
Client Portal
Access to our secure client portal is limited to authorized users. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access. Use of the portal may be subject to additional terms from the portal provider.
Communications
Messages sent through this site's contact form or by ordinary email are not encrypted and are not a secure means of transmitting sensitive information. Do not send Social Security numbers, tax documents, or financial account information through those channels. We are not responsible for the interception of information sent to us by insecure means.
Disclaimer of Warranties
This site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Clarke CPA Group and its owners, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, this website, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, and nothing here alters the terms of any signed engagement letter between us.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Clarke CPA Group from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your misuse of this site or your violation of these terms.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising under these terms will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Placer County, California, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms at any time by posting an updated version on this page. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
