These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) set out the conditions under which you may browse the website, make use of our online booking functionality, or contact us via any digital form made available on the site. By accessing any part of the website, you agree to comply with these Terms in addition to any other notices or policies referenced here.

2. Acceptance of Terms

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the website or any related online services.

Any formal engagement for accounting, tax, or consultancy services will be governed by a separate engagement letter or contract agreed between you and RURAL ACCOUNTING, which will take precedence over any statements made on this website.
