Terms of Service

By accessing or using VATHack (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These terms apply to all users, including free-plan users and paid subscribers.

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.

VATHack is a software tool that helps businesses estimate EU VAT obligations by analysing uploaded sales data (CSV files).

The Service provides VAT calculations, compliance grades, anomaly detection, scenario simulations, and OSS (One-Stop-Shop) filing guidance.

VATHack is an informational tool only. It is not a licensed tax adviser, accountant, or legal counsel.

IMPORTANT: The outputs produced by VATHack — including VAT calculations, compliance grades, insights, and recommendations — are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute tax advice, legal advice, or accounting advice.

You should not rely solely on VATHack outputs for the purpose of filing VAT returns, making tax decisions, or determining your legal obligations.

VAT rules are complex, change frequently, and vary by jurisdiction. Always verify calculations with a qualified tax professional before filing.

VATHack accepts no liability for any tax shortfall, penalty, interest, or other consequence arising from reliance on the Service's outputs.

You must sign in with a valid Google account to use the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account.

You must not share your account with others or allow third parties to access the Service through your credentials.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in abuse, or attempt to circumvent plan limits.

Free plan: limited to 2 CSV uploads per calendar month. No payment required.

Growth and Scale plans: billed monthly via Stripe. Prices are displayed on the pricing page and may change with 30 days' notice.

Subscriptions renew automatically. You may cancel at any time via your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — no partial refunds are issued.

If a payment fails, access to paid features will be suspended until payment is resolved.

All prices are exclusive of VAT unless otherwise stated. Applicable taxes may be added at checkout depending on your billing country.

You may not use VATHack to upload files containing malicious code, personally identifiable information of third parties without their consent, or data you do not have the right to process.

You may not attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or exploit the Service's API beyond normal use.

You may not use automated tools to circumvent rate limits or upload restrictions.

You may not resell or sublicense access to the Service without prior written consent.

You retain full ownership of any data you upload to VATHack.

By uploading data, you grant VATHack a limited, temporary licence to process that data solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

We do not use your uploaded sales data for training, analytics, or any purpose beyond generating your analysis results.

CSV uploads are processed in server memory and are not stored persistently. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

The VATHack platform, including its code, design, UI, and branding, is owned by VATHack and protected by copyright and intellectual property law.

Nothing in these terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.

Audit reports and analysis outputs generated from your data belong to you.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VATHack shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of the Service.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to VATHack in the 12 months preceding the claim.

We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

We do not warrant that VAT rates, thresholds, or deadline information in the Service are complete, current, or error-free. Tax rules change frequently — always verify with official sources.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the Service.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
