Astons Accountants & Business Advisors Limited is a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 12960424)
- Use of the Site
a. Eligibility: By using our Site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding agreements. If you are using the Site on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
b. Permitted Use: You may use this Site for your personal, non-commercial informational purposes, such as learning about our services or contacting us. Prohibited Use: You must not use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in any way that may harm, disrupt, or impair the Site or interfere with anyone else’s use of the Site. For example, you agree not to attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site, not to introduce viruses or malicious code, and not to use any automated system (such as bots or scrapers) to access the Site without our permission.
c. User Information: If you choose to submit information via our contact forms, you agree to provide accurate and up-to-date information.

Please notify us promptly of any unauthorised use of your information or the Site.
- Intellectual Property
a. Ownership: All content and materials on the Site – including text, graphics, logos, images, designs, compilations, and software – are the intellectual property of Astons Accountants & Business Advisors Limited or our licensors, and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable intellectual property laws. All rights are reserved.
b. Limited Licence: We grant you a limited, revocable licence to access and use the Site content for your personal, non-commercial use. You may download or print portions of the Site for your personal reference only, provided you do not remove any copyright or proprietary notices. Restricted Use: You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, transmit, republish, display, or perform any of the Site content for any other purpose without our prior written consent. Using our content beyond the allowed scope (for example, reproducing our content on another website) is strictly prohibited and may violate our intellectual property rights.
- No Financial or Professional Advice
The information provided on this Site is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional tax, accounting, or financial advice. While we are accountants by profession, the content on the Site (including blog posts, guides, FAQs, or responses to enquiries) is not tailored to your specific circumstances. Do not rely on information on the Site as a substitute for obtaining professional advice. We strongly recommend that you consult with a qualified accountant or financial adviser for advice tailored to your situation.
Any communication through the Site or via email or other online channels with Astons Accountants is also provided for general information. Nothing on this Site or in communications from us shall be taken as the provision of official accounting, tax, or financial advice. No information exchanged via this website creates a professional advisory relationship. For instance, simply sending us a message or receiving a response does not mean we are providing you with formal advice or that we are engaged as your accountants.
- No Client Relationship
Your use of the Site or communication with us through the Site does not create an accountant-client (or advisor-client) relationship between you and Astons Accountants. We may be happy to discuss your accounting needs, but an engagement is only formed once a written agreement is signed with us for services. Until such an agreement is in place, you should not consider any information or correspondence from us as professional advice, and we bear no responsibility as your accountants or advisors.
- Disclaimer of Warranties and Liability
a. Content “As Is”: The Site and all information or content on it are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Astons Accountants makes no warranties or representations, express or implied, that the content on this Site is accurate, complete, reliable, or up-to-date. While we strive to keep information current, accounting and tax regulations change frequently and we do not guarantee that all content is free of errors or omissions. Use of the Site is at your own risk.
b. No Warranties: To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, conditions, or representations of any kind – including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement – in relation to the Site and its content.

c. Limitation of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, Astons Accountants & Business Advisors Limited will not be liable for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) this Site or reliance on any content on this Site. This includes, without limitation, any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses; loss of profits or revenue; loss of data; or business interruption, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. You assume full responsibility for your use of the information on the Site, and you acknowledge that any reliance upon such information shall be at your sole risk.
d. No Exclusion for Mandatory Liabilities: Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude our liability for any matter that cannot be limited or excluded by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
