Terms of engagement

These terms apply to every advisory, tax, brand and accounting engagement with Ascendum Corporate Advisory LLC unless your engagement letter says otherwise.

1. Who we are

Ascendum Corporate Advisory LLC is a Missouri limited liability company with its registered office at 10124 N McKinley Drive, Kansas City, MO 64157, United States. AscenTaxUS, AscenMark and AscenAi are trading brands of the same company.

2. Scope of engagement

Each engagement is defined in a signed engagement letter or an accepted online order. Work outside that scope is only performed once both sides agree the additional scope and fee in writing.

Advice is given for the specific facts and jurisdictions stated in the engagement letter. It may not be relied on for other entities, periods or countries.

3. Your responsibilities

You remain responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the records, statements and declarations you provide, and for filing and paying on time where we are not appointed to file on your behalf.

Where we host your books in AscenAi, you are responsible for reviewing posted transactions and for maintaining the confidentiality of user credentials issued to your team.

4. Fees and billing

Advisory and tax fees are quoted per engagement. Software subscriptions are billed per corporation per month, with the first charge after the 30 day trial and annual plans charged at ten months.

Invoices are due 15 days from the invoice date. Government filing fees, registry charges and third-party disbursements are recharged at cost.

Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Cancelling stops the next renewal; charges already raised for the current period are not refunded.

5. Confidentiality and data

We treat client records as confidential and disclose them only to the people working on your engagement, to sub-processors bound by equivalent obligations, or where law compels disclosure.

How we collect, store and delete personal data is set out in the privacy notice.

6. Liability

Our aggregate liability for any engagement is limited to the fees paid for that engagement in the twelve months preceding the claim, except where liability cannot be limited by law.

We are not liable for penalties or interest arising from information provided late, incompletely or inaccurately.

7. Termination

Either side may end an engagement on 30 days' written notice. Work completed up to the termination date remains billable, and we will provide reasonable assistance transferring records to a successor adviser.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, United States, and the courts of Missouri have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from them.
