Legal · Website terms

Terms of use.

These rules apply to anyone visiting this website. They govern the site itself, not any engagement: work with us begins with a signed engagement letter, never with a visit.

Effective October 4, 2026 Governed by Texas law

1 · Who publishes this site

The company, and what these terms cover.

The company behind this site is TechBrot, Inc., a Delaware corporation, doing business as Everholt & Co. Throughout these terms, “we”, “us” and “the company” refer to it. The terms apply to your use of the website only; they are not an engagement contract, and they don't make you a client.

Using the site means you accept these terms. If you don't accept them, please stop using it.

2 · Information, not advice

What you read here isn't advice for your situation.

The pages, guides, answers and price ranges on this site describe bookkeeping, operational accounting and QuickBooks in broad terms. None of it is professional advice fitted to your business, and it shouldn't be relied on that way: the right steps for your books depend on facts we would need to review with you.

3 · Becoming a client

A signed engagement letter starts the work.

Browsing the site, phoning us or sending a form doesn't make you a client. That relationship begins only once you and the company have both signed an engagement letter setting out the scope and the fixed fee, and every engagement is contracted with the company. Until that letter is signed, neither side owes the other anything.

4 · Our content

Quote us briefly; don't copy whole pages.

The company owns the writing, illustrations and page designs on this site. Reading it, linking to it and quoting reasonable portions with credit is welcome, but don't republish entire pages as your own.

Quoting, by people and by software. We write specific, plain pages partly so that others can cite them correctly. Search engines, AI assistants, research tools and people may all quote excerpts of up to 100 words, with credit and a link to the page the words come from. We can withdraw this permission by changing these terms; until then, consider it an open invitation.

Intuit Inc. owns the ProAdvisor and QuickBooks marks, and other names used here belong to their owners. They appear here only to identify actual products and our own credentials, and Intuit has not endorsed this site.

5 · Accuracy and availability

The site comes as it is.

We try to keep the site correct, current and online, but we can't promise it will be. It is offered as is, with no warranty of any kind, including that it is free of errors, always reachable or suited to your circumstances. Published prices are indicative; only the figures in a signed engagement letter bind either side.

Some pages link to other websites, such as Google's privacy policy. Those sites are outside our control, and we aren't responsible for what they contain.

6 · Liability

Limits on liability for the website.

As far as the law allows, the company accepts no liability for losses that come from using this website or relying on what it says. That covers indirect, incidental and consequential losses as well. This limit concerns the website alone; what we owe a client is set by that client's engagement letter, which governs the work itself.

7 · Law and courts

Texas law governs, and Harris County courts hear disputes.

Texas law governs these terms, without applying conflict-of-laws principles. Claims about these terms, or about how you used the website, may be brought only in a state or federal court in Harris County, Texas. Both parties agree that those courts have personal jurisdiction over them and are the proper venue.

8 · Severability, precedence

A failed clause leaves the others standing, and a client's engagement letter comes first.

Severability. Should a court decide that part of these terms can't be enforced, that part is narrowed or dropped only as far as needed, and the remainder keeps full effect.

Precedence. These terms cover the website. For clients, the signed engagement letter with the company governs the work, including its scope, fee and conditions, and it wins over these terms wherever the two disagree.

9 · Raising a problem

Written notice comes first, with time to put things right.

A side with a claim arising from these terms or the website will first send the other a written description of the problem and allow 30 days to fix it before starting any proceeding. Both sides use that time to try to resolve it. Where the law forbids making this step mandatory, it falls away, though we'd still prefer to start this way.

10 · Updates and contact

When these terms change, and who to ask.

We may revise these terms. When we do, the effective date shown in the page header changes, and using the site after that means you accept the revised version.

Questions about these terms can go to hello@everholtco.com or to (832) 702-3325.
