Terms of Service

Effective Date: June 14, 2026 · Last Updated: June 14, 2026

1. About TaxBuddy PH

TaxBuddy PH ("the App", "we", "us") is a record-keeping and tax computation tool designed to help Filipino online sellers organize their sales, expenses, and estimated tax obligations. TaxBuddy PH is not an accounting firm, tax preparation service, or licensed CPA practice.

2. Not Professional Tax Advice

All computations, journal entries, BIR form estimates, and AI chat responses provided by TaxBuddy PH are based solely on the information you enter and published BIR rates and regulations. They are estimates only.

TaxBuddy PH does not provide professional accounting, tax, or legal advice. Nothing in the App should be interpreted as a substitute for advice from a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or tax attorney.

You are solely responsible for verifying all figures, reviewing all outputs, and consulting a licensed CPA before filing any return with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

3. AI Chat Disclaimer

The AI chat feature provides general informational responses about Philippine tax topics. AI responses are not reviewed by a licensed CPA, may not reflect the most current BIR regulations, and should never be used as the sole basis for any tax filing decision. Always verify AI responses with a licensed professional.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Philippine law, TaxBuddy PH, its owner, and its developers shall not be liable for:

  • Any BIR penalties, surcharges, or assessments arising from use of the App
  • Any errors in tax computations resulting from incorrect data you entered
  • Any loss of income, business interruption, or financial loss connected to your use of or reliance on the App
  • Any inaccuracies in the weekly BIR update digest emails

Your use of TaxBuddy PH is entirely at your own risk.

5. Accuracy of Your Data

You are responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and legality of all data you enter into TaxBuddy PH. The App computes based on what you provide. Garbage in, garbage out. TaxBuddy PH cannot verify whether your entries reflect your actual transactions.

6. Subscription and Billing

Subscriptions are billed through PayMongo. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges to your chosen payment method at the interval you selected (monthly or annually).

  • Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period
  • Payments already processed are non-refundable except where required by Philippine consumer law
  • TaxBuddy PH reserves the right to change subscription pricing with 30 days notice to your registered email address
  • Free trial or starter features may be modified or discontinued at any time

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the App for any unlawful purpose
  • Enter false or fraudulent transaction data
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, copy, or resell the App or its outputs
  • Use the App to file fraudulent BIR returns

8. Intellectual Property

All content, design, code, and features of TaxBuddy PH are owned by its developers. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App for your personal business tax record-keeping only.

9. Service Availability

TaxBuddy PH is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We are not liable for any losses caused by downtime, data loss, or service interruptions.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms. Major changes will be notified via email to your registered address.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Any disputes shall be resolved in the proper courts of the Philippines.
