1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using CostSegSmart.com or any services provided by CostSegSmart ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use our services.
2. Service Description
CostSegSmart is an engineering-based cost segregation software platform. We generate cost segregation reports using engineering cost databases, IRS classification guidelines, and property-specific inputs. Our service is a software tool — not a tax advisory, legal, or accounting firm.
3. Not Tax, Legal, or Accounting Advice
CostSegSmart is a software tool and does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. Any information or estimates provided are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. We do not guarantee any tax outcome, deduction amount, depreciation treatment, or audit result. You should consult with a qualified CPA, tax advisor, or attorney before making any tax or financial decisions based on our reports.
4. Estimate and Calculator Limitations
The free estimate calculator on our website produces approximate results based on simplified modeling assumptions. These estimates are for informational purposes only and may differ significantly from the results of a full cost segregation study. Actual tax outcomes depend on property-specific facts, applicable tax law, and your individual tax situation.
5. User Inputs and Responsibility
You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information you provide. Our reports are generated based on the data you submit, supplemented by third-party data sources. Inaccurate inputs may result in inaccurate outputs. You are solely responsible for reviewing all reports with your tax professional before filing.
6. Third-Party Data Disclaimer
Our platform uses third-party data sources including county assessor records, engineering cost databases, and geographic indices. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of third-party data. Third-party data is used to supplement, not replace, your provided information.
7. No Guarantee / No Warranty
Our services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that our reports will produce any specific tax result, that our estimates will match actual outcomes, or that our service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, CostSegSmart shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
9. Refund Policy
If you are unsatisfied with your report, please contact us at [email protected] within 30 days of delivery. We will work with you to address any concerns. Refunds are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are at our sole discretion.
10. Privacy and Contact Information
Your use of our services is also governed by our Privacy Policy. For questions about these Terms, contact us at [email protected].
