Use of the website

The content on this site is provided for general information only and does not constitute accounting, tax, legal, or financial advice. You should not act or refrain from acting based on information here without seeking professional counsel tailored to your situation.

Engagement & scope

Any professional services we provide are governed by a separate written engagement letter that defines scope, deliverables, fees, and timing. Submitting a contact, consultation, or newsletter form does not create an engagement or a client relationship.

Fees & payment

Fees are set out in your engagement letter. Invoices are due on the terms stated in that letter. Late balances may pause active work until brought current.

Confidentiality

We treat client information as confidential and use it only to deliver our services, comply with legal obligations, and operate our practice. We do not sell client information.

All site content — including text, graphics, logos, and templates — is owned by Franklin-Martinez or its licensors and is protected by applicable law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.

Disclaimer of warranties

The website and its content are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Franklin-Martinez and its members, employees, and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this website. Liability for paid services is governed by the terms of your engagement letter.

Third-party links

This site may link to third-party resources for convenience. We do not control or endorse those sites and are not responsible for their content or practices.
