T&C for One-Off Services

1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to all one-off accounting and tax services ("Services") provided by ABF Accounting Services Ltd ("we", "us", or "our") to clients ("you" or "your"). By purchasing a one-off service through our website or via direct agreement, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in addition to our general terms and conditions.

PLEASE NOTE: One-off services are offered as "off-the-shelf" products and are not bespoke or advisory in nature. They are intended for clients with straightforward accounting and tax affairs. If you are unsure whether our services are appropriate for your situation, please contact us before making a purchase, as no refunds will be issued once payment is made.

5. Fees, Payments, and Refund Policy

  • Fees quoted are fixed for the services listed at the time of purchase.
  • No refunds will be issued once the service has been purchased unless we are unable to deliver due to circumstances within our control.
