Terms of Service

Agreement to Terms

By accessing brightstaradvisorygroup.com or engaging Brightstar Advisory for services, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of this website and do not engage our services.

About Our Services

Brightstar Advisory provides bookkeeping, financial advisory, and fractional CFO services to small and mid-sized businesses. The specific scope, deliverables, fees, and timeline for any engagement are defined in a separate written engagement letter or service agreement signed by both parties.

Nothing on this website constitutes a binding offer to provide services. An engagement begins only when both parties have executed a written agreement.

Not a Substitute for Professional Advice

Content on this website — including blog posts, descriptions, and educational material — is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice and should not be relied upon as such for your specific situation.

Brightstar Advisory is not a licensed CPA firm. Our advisory and bookkeeping services are distinct from the services of a licensed public accountant. We recommend consulting a licensed CPA or attorney for matters requiring licensure.

Client Responsibilities

When you engage Brightstar Advisory, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and timely information needed to perform the services.
• Review deliverables and notify us of any discrepancies within a reasonable time.
• Pay fees as specified in your engagement agreement.
• Maintain the confidentiality of any login credentials or shared access we provide.

The quality of our work depends on the accuracy of information you provide. We are not liable for errors resulting from incomplete or inaccurate source data.

Fees and Payment

Fees for our services are outlined in your engagement agreement. Unless otherwise stated, invoices are due within 15 days of issuance. We reserve the right to pause or terminate services for accounts with outstanding balances.

Confidentiality

We treat all client financial information as strictly confidential. We will not disclose your business or financial information to third parties except as described in our Privacy Policy or as required by law. Clients are similarly expected to keep non-public information about our processes and pricing confidential.

Intellectual Property

All content on this website — including text, graphics, logos, and design — is the property of Brightstar Advisory and may not be reproduced or distributed without written permission. Deliverables created under a client engagement become the property of the client upon full payment of fees.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Brightstar Advisory's liability for any claim arising out of our services is limited to the fees paid by you in the three months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind.

This website is provided "as is." We make no warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or availability of website content.

Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement as specified in the applicable engagement agreement. Upon termination, we will provide a final accounting of work completed and any outstanding fees will become due. We retain the right to terminate website access for users who violate these terms.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of Tennessee.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
