Terms & Scope
The following terms and conditions apply to the purchase of Bookcert products and services made via this website, either directly online or via an off-line order accompanied by payment.
The contract is between Bookcert Limited (the Seller) and the person or organization named on the credit card or cheque used for payment (the Buyer/User).
For contractual purposes the point of sale is deemed to be England, and the date and time of sale, that when the order has been received and confirmed, either at the completion of an online transaction (confirmation of acceptance of payment), or via an email, letter or fax from us following receipt of your posted order and payment. This contract shall be governed by English Law under the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
Pricing and Payment
The price of products is that held on the master file for our web page. In the event of any unauthorized tampering with these pages, the master file held at the trading premises of The Seller shall prevail. Any transaction conducted at an incorrect price will be deemed null and void and The Buyer advised within 14 days via email.
Products are priced exclusive of UK Value Added Tax (VAT) and FOB UK. Currently, transactions made by buyers outside of the UK are exempt from UK VAT. The Seller reserves the right to add this tax to the payment transaction should such taxes change in future. Physical goods will be dispatched by air mail or courier, and corresponding shipping charges levied at the time of transaction as shown against each product description. The Buyer is responsible for paying any local taxes or delivery charges levied in the country of destination.
Goods must be paid for in advance, either using the online credit card processing facilities, or by cheque in UK pounds sterling.
Title of the goods remains with The Seller until such payments have been cleared. In the event of subsequent repudiation of payment by The Buyer's bank or paying agent, the title reverts to The Seller until any outstanding payment has been made in full.
The Kit, Opportunity, Software, Support & Network
The Seller warrants that the Bookcert Business Kit will be dispatched in good condition, and within a reasonable time of placing the order. If, for any reason, it does not arrive or is damaged, we will supply a replacement, provided that you inform us within 3 days of receipt and carry out any instructions we make regarding providing evidence of damage or non-delivery.
For electronic files purchased separately, or those included on the Bookcert Bookkeeping Suite CD-Rom, if for any reason, the download does not work or you cannot read them properly, simply email sales@bookcert.com, giving details of the problems encountered, and your customer reference number, and we will send you further copies via email. Alternatively you may request us to post you a copy for an additional postage charge.
The Bookcert Home Bookkeeping Opportunity is not a get rich quick scheme, and you should not purchase the Bookcert Business Kit if you are not prepared to put in the required effort and work, as no refunds will be available.
Whilst every effort has been taken to give all information possible on this business, the outcome of entry into this business is dependent on individual application of information and effort. We can therefore accept no responsibility for the level of success achieved.
Purchasers of the Bookcert Business Kit are independent principles of their own business, and shall not be regarded as, or present themselves as agents for, employees of, partners in, or representatives of Bookcert Limited.
Start-up support is restricted to email correspondence only, and will be available for 12 calendar months from receipt of the Bookcert Business Kit. Bookcert aims to provide a response to a query within 24 hours, although this may not always be feasible and may take longer. Bookcert aims to deal with any queries professionally and promptly. Start-up support from Bookcert Limited is restricted to queries relating to information included within the Bookcert Business Kit only. Advice regarding accountancy, taxation, legal and other matters, outside the scope of bookkeeping will not be given.
The Book-keepers Network (referred to as the network) is a trading division of Bookcert Limited. Purchasing the Bookcert Business Kit entitles the buyer to free inclusion in the ‘find a book-keeper service’ offered by the network at www.book-keepers.net. The entitlement is for a period of 12 months from receipt of the Kit, but can be extended indefinitely at the discretion of the seller. The seller permits the buyer to refer to their inclusion in the network for advertising purposes only. No warranties or representations are made by the network concerning the ability of bookkeepers included in the network to carry out bookkeeping functions, and the seller requires the buyer to make this clear in their business activities. The seller unreservedly retains the right to exclude the buyer from inclusion in the networks service, if the seller feels the buyer’s inclusion is, or would, adversely affect the network in any way. No warranty of any kind is made that the service will find clients for the buyer, and no monetary value is attached to the service as it is offered as a free addition to the Kit. Inclusion in the network refers to the buyer’s inclusion in the ‘find a book-keeper service’ only. The network is an advertising vehicle for customers of the seller who have purchased the Bookcert Business Kit. The network is not a membership body or society, and inclusion in it does not imply membership of a professional association. If the network develops into a subscription based commercial resource in the future, the seller retains the right to charge subscription fees for membership of the network. This would not affect the buyers entitlement to inclusion in the networks ‘find a bookkeeper service’ for the first 12 months from receipt of the Kit.
The seller provides prewritten website contents in the Kit, which the buyer can use for their own bookkeeping website. The Kit explains how the buyer can set up their own business website. Please note that website hosting and associated tools are provided by an external third party. The seller is not associated with this company in any way. The cost of setting up a four page website, with domain name registration and POP3 email at the time of writing is £4.99 per year for a .co.uk domain (£9.99 per year for a .com domain). This cost is not included in the price of the Kit and is payable separately to the third party. The buyer is under no obligation to use this hosting company or even create a website at all. The seller has no control over these prices, and if the buyer does not wish to pay this, the seller can suggest a free alternative (with limited features) at the buyer’s request.
At the time of writing there is no legal requirement for a bookkeeper in the United Kingdom (UK) to hold any professional accounting qualifications to carry out bookkeeping activities. The Bookcert Business Kit clearly explains the type of bookkeeping work you will perform (which does not include tax advice or tax preparation), and the seller anticipates this will be acceptable in most countries. However, if you are a buyer of the Kit from outside of the UK, you are advised to perform your own checks with the relevant authorities in your own country to ensure this is the case for you. Bookcert Limited can provide contact details of the necessary authorities to make contact with on request.
The information contained in the Bookcert Business Kit is not intended as a substitute for appropriate professional advice, and you are advised to seek such advice before commencing with this or any other business opportunity.
