Terms of service
The service
ApexLedger provides cloud-based accounting, payroll and practice software to organisations in Canada. An organisation buys seats; a seat is one named person with their own sign-in. There is no limit on the number of companies an organisation keeps.
Trial and payment
Every edition starts with a free one-month trial. After the trial, seats are billed per person per month in Canadian dollars plus applicable taxes: Business $39, Payroll Unlimited $45 (no limit on employees; $3 per payroll run posted, charged on this seat only), Bookkeeper payroll add-on $20 (no per-run fee), Bookkeeper $59, Full accountant $79. Paying yearly is 20% less. You can add or remove seats at any time; a removed seat stops being billed at the end of its month.
Your data
Your books belong to you. You can download any company file at any time, and we delete your data when you close your account, as described in our privacy page. We keep it in Canada.
Your responsibilities
- Keep sign-ins personal: one person per seat, no shared passwords.
- The software prepares returns, slips and reports from what you enter. Reviewing them and filing with the CRA and provincial bodies remains your professional responsibility.
- Do not use the service to store data you are not entitled to hold.
Availability
We aim for the service to be available at all times and take nightly backups. Planned maintenance is announced inside the application in advance. We are not liable for indirect losses; our total liability is limited to the fees you paid in the previous twelve months.
Changes and termination
We may update these terms with 30 days' notice inside the application. Either side may end the agreement at the end of any billing month.
No professional advice
ApexLedger is software. Its help pages, suggestions, chat assistant and support are general information about how it works, not accounting, tax, payroll, legal or financial advice. Every return, remittance, pay stub, slip and report must be reviewed by you before you rely on it, pay it or file it.
No warranty
To the fullest extent permitted by law the service and everything it produces are provided "as is" and "as available", without any warranty or condition, express or implied, including of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Limit of liability and indemnity
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Apex Ledger Ltd.'s total liability is limited to the fees you paid in the twelve months before the claim, and it is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profit or data, or for penalties, interest or assessments. You indemnify Apex Ledger Ltd. against claims arising from your data, your use of the service or what you file, pay or issue with it. The Subscription Agreement sets these out in full and prevails over these terms if they differ.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, and the courts of Ontario sitting in Toronto have exclusive jurisdiction. Questions: admin@apexledger.ca.
