Dalmatian Consulting LLC
Terms of Use and End-User License Agreement
In plain words: you can use our website freely, and our client portal to review, approve, sign and pay for your own proposals. Keep your password private and don't try to get into anything that isn't yours. The agreement you sign with us is what governs our work for you.
1. Who these terms are with
These terms are between you and Dalmatian Consulting LLC, a Michigan company at 133 Orlando Ave, Holland, MI 49423 ("we", "us"). They cover our website at dalmatianconsult.com and our client portal at dalmatianconsult.com/portal, including its connection to QuickBooks Online (together, the "Services"). By using the Services you agree to these terms. If you use them for a business, you agree for that business.
2. Your portal account
The portal is for clients we invite. We give you a temporary password, which you must change the first time you sign in. Keep your password private, don't share your account, and tell us right away at [email protected] if you think someone else has used it. We may suspend an account to protect it or the portal.
3. Your license to use the portal
We give you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license, which we may end, to use the portal to view, approve, sign and pay for proposals and agreements made for you. You agree not to:
- access another person's account or any proposal that is not yours;
- copy, change, reverse engineer or resell the portal or its code;
- use bots or scripts to access it, or try to get around its security or sign-in limits;
- upload anything harmful, or use the Services for anything unlawful.
We own the website, the portal and their design and code. The proposals we make for you are yours to read, print and keep for your own business.
4. Proposals, approvals and agreements
A proposal in the portal is an offer. When you approve it, the portal prepares a written agreement for both of us to sign. Our work for you is governed by that signed agreement, and if it differs from these terms, the signed agreement controls.
5. Electronic signatures and records
You agree to receive agreements and records electronically and to sign them electronically through Dalmatian Ink, our signing service. Electronic signatures and records have the same effect as paper ones. You can download your signed agreement from the portal, and you can ask us for a paper copy at any time at no charge.
6. Payments
Invoices are created in our QuickBooks Online company and paid on Intuit's secure payment pages by card or bank transfer. Intuit processes your payment under its own terms, and we never see or store your card or bank details. The portal shows a payment as received once QuickBooks records it. Prices and payment terms are those in your signed agreement.
7. Third-party services
The Services rely on providers such as Cloudflare (hosting) and Intuit QuickBooks (invoices and payments). We are not responsible for their outages or their own terms, but we will help you work around a problem with them.
8. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what information the Services keep and how we use it.
9. Disclaimers
We work to keep the Services accurate, secure and available, but we provide the website and portal "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. The examples and general information on our website are not legal, tax or financial advice.
10. Limits on liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages or lost profits from using the website or portal, and our total liability for the website and portal is limited to $100. This section does not limit anything in a signed agreement between us, which has its own terms on liability.
11. Ending access
You can stop using the Services and ask us to close your portal account at any time. We may suspend or end portal access if these terms are broken or to protect the Services. Ending portal access does not end a signed agreement; that agreement says how it ends, and we will always give you a copy of your signed agreement.
12. Law and disputes
Michigan law applies. We will first try to resolve any dispute through a good-faith conversation of at least 30 days, and after that, disputes go to the courts of Ottawa County, Michigan.
13. Changes and contact
If we change these terms, we will post the new version here with a new effective date. Questions go to [email protected] or (616) 317-7793.
