by 4Sure Bookkeeping  ·  Review before using

Last updated: April 4, 2026

By purchasing, creating an account for, or accessing iCOA, you agree to this combined Terms of Service and End User License Agreement (“Agreement”). Please read it carefully before using the Service.

1. No Professional Advice; No Accountant-Client Relationship

iCOA is a financial template and organizational tool only. Nothing in iCOA, its templates, account structures, or AI-generated outputs constitutes accounting, tax, legal, or financial advice. Use of iCOA does not create an accountant-client relationship, CPA-client relationship, or any other professional advisory relationship between you and 4Sure Bookkeeping LLC or any of its employees, contractors, or owners. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any chart of accounts, account mapping, or other output meets applicable professional standards and the specific needs of your clients. Consult a licensed CPA or attorney where appropriate.

2. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and timely payment of all applicable fees, 4Sure Bookkeeping LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, single-user license to access and use iCOA solely for your own internal professional bookkeeping work. This license does not include any right to sublicense, resell, white-label, or make the Service available to any third party.

3. Prohibited Uses

You may not, and may not permit others to:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code, account structures, or mapping logic from iCOA by any means;
  • Scrape, spider, crawl, or otherwise systematically extract data, templates, or account lists from iCOA;
  • Reproduce, copy, redistribute, publicly display, or transmit any portion of iCOA or its content;

  • Create derivative works, competing products, or services based on or derived from iCOA or any of its proprietary content;
  • Share, transfer, or disclose your access credentials to any other person or entity;
  • Use iCOA for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation.

4. Intellectual Property

iCOA and all of its content — including but not limited to the industry-specific chart of accounts templates, account structures, account numbering conventions, specialized QuickBooks/Xero mapping logic, the 4Sure Universal Transaction Protocol, software, source code, algorithms, designs, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, and the “iCOA” and “4Sure Bookkeeping” brand names and logos — are the exclusive intellectual property of 4Sure Bookkeeping LLC and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. You acquire no ownership interest in any portion of the Service. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by 4Sure Bookkeeping LLC.

5. User Content and Data Ownership

You retain full ownership of your business data and the CSV files you export from iCOA. By using iCOA, you grant 4Sure Bookkeeping LLC a limited, royalty-free license to process your data solely as necessary to provide the Service to you. 4Sure Bookkeeping LLC may use anonymized, aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data derived from all users' usage to improve the Service, conduct research, and for other lawful business purposes. We will not sell your personally identifiable information to third parties.

6. Third-Party Services; QuickBooks/Intuit Non-Affiliation

iCOA uses or integrates with the following third-party services, each governed by their own terms and privacy policies:

  • Stripe — payment processing;

7. Payment and Refund Policy

All fees are due at the time of purchase or at the start of each billing cycle for subscriptions. Prices are in US dollars and are subject to change with reasonable notice. All sales are final; no refunds will be issued except as required by applicable law. If you believe a charge was made in error, contact us at the address below within 14 days of the charge.
