Terms of Use
These terms apply to your use of jbpmc.ca, including its booking form, calculators, estimator, blog and client portal. JBPMC is operated by Jordan Bretiller in Calgary, Alberta ("JBPMC", "we", "us"). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
1. Our services
JBPMC provides accounting, bookkeeping, financial reporting, job costing and related services to property management and construction businesses. Services begin only after we both sign an engagement letter that sets out the scope, fees and responsibilities. If an engagement letter and these terms disagree, the engagement letter applies to those services.
JBPMC is not a public accounting firm. We do not perform audits, reviews or other assurance engagements, and we do not prepare or file tax returns. We can work with your tax preparer or accounting firm for those services.
2. Website information is general
Articles, examples, sample reports and other content on this site are general information about accounting topics. They are not accounting, tax, legal or financial advice for your situation. Sample figures (such as job cost, WIP and owner report examples) are illustrations, not real client data. Please get advice based on your own facts before you act.
We work to keep the content accurate and current, but laws, rates and standards change and we don't guarantee that every page is complete or up to date.
3. Calculators, estimators and prices
- The CAM reconciliation calculator and the contractor lead estimator demo produce illustrative results from the numbers you enter. Check results before relying on them; they are not a substitute for a reconciliation or estimate prepared from your actual records.
- The suggested package shown in the booking form, and any "starting from" prices on the site, are guides only. Your fee is set in your written proposal or engagement letter after a review of your needs.
- Prices are in Canadian dollars and do not include GST unless stated.
4. Booking requests
Sending the booking form is a request, not a confirmed appointment or an engagement. We confirm calls by email, normally within one business day. Please give accurate contact details and don't send financial records, banking details or other sensitive information through the form. We may decline requests that look automated, abusive or outside the services we offer.
5. Client portal accounts
- Portal accounts are created by JBPMC for clients and their authorized staff. Accounts are personal; don't share your sign-in.
- Keep your password confidential and tell us right away at info@jbpmc.ca if you think someone else has used your account.
- Upload only files you are allowed to share with us for the engagement. Don't upload malware or files unrelated to our services.
- Download the files you need. Files are removed from the portal within 90 days after the engagement ends.
- We may suspend or close an account to protect the security of the portal, if the engagement ends, or if these terms are broken.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- copy, scrape, download in bulk or mirror the site or its code, including with automated tools;
- try to get around the site's security, spam protection or access controls, or try to access accounts or files that aren't yours;
- send spam, false information or harmful code through any form or upload;
- use the site in a way that breaks the law or harms JBPMC, our clients or other users.
7. Content and ownership
The site's text, design, code, calculators, sample reports, chart of accounts examples and logo belong to JBPMC or its licensors and are protected by copyright. You may view and print pages for your own business use. You may not reproduce, sell or publish them, or use them to build a competing product, without our written permission. Client records and reports we prepare for you are governed by your engagement letter.
Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or privacy practices.
8. Liability
The website and its tools are provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, JBPMC is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, data or business, arising from your use of the website, its content, calculators or estimator, or from the website being unavailable. Our total liability for any claim about the website is limited to $100. Liability for services provided under an engagement letter is governed by that letter.
Nothing in these terms limits any right you have that cannot be limited by law.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada that apply in Alberta. Any dispute about them will be handled by the courts in Calgary, Alberta.
10. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information collected through the site and our services.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
