Terms of Use

Please review these terms of use (referred to as the “Agreement”) thoroughly. This Agreement is a legal agreement between you and Gofile Inc. (referred to as “Gofile” or the “Company”). By creating an account, indicating acceptance electronically, or by accessing or using the Services (as defined below), you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree to this Agreement, then you may not use the Services.

Services

In this Agreement “Services” means the provision of Gofile’s web-based software for the preparation and filing of Canadian T2 corporate tax filings.

The Services do not include any professional advice. Gofile is not providing you with any accounting, tax, or other professional services or advice in the capacity of an accountant. You should consult the services of a professional advisor when you need this type of assistance.

Gofile’s software is not intended for complex tax returns and is not intended as a substitute for professional accounting advice. The software maps only limited information to the tax return in a way that fits most corporate filings. It is your responsibility to review the tax return before it is filed to ensure that all necessary fields have been completed. If your tax return is complex, Gofile reserves the right to refuse the Services and may recommend that you utilize the services of a professional advisor instead.

You are solely responsible for the information being entered into the software and Gofile will not be reviewing or checking the information provided by you.

Right to Use the Services

If you choose to use Gofile’s Services then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Gofile grants to you a personal, limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive right and licence to access and use the Services solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below.

Gofile reserves all rights in and to the Services and its software not expressly granted in this Agreement.

Unless otherwise provided, prices are determined at time of print or electronic filing and are subject to change without notice. You should confirm that the pricing for your use of the Services has not changed, particularly if some time has passed between the date you start your tax return and the date you finish and are ready to file or print and pay for it. The price for your use of the Service is established at the time you pay for it.
