1. Professional Services Disclaimer

1.1 Nature of Services

HashTax Limited ("HashTax", "we", "us", or "our") provides professional cryptocurrency accounting and tax advisory services exclusively through qualified accountants and tax professionals. Our services are delivered through personal consultation, analysis, and professional judgment—not through automated software or applications.

Important: Until a formal engagement is established, no accountant-client relationship exists, and any information exchanged should not be considered professional advice.

1.2 General Information Only

The information provided on this website is for general guidance purposes only and does not constitute:

  • Professional tax advice specific to your individual circumstances
  • Legal or financial advice
  • Investment recommendations or guidance
  • Solicitation of professional services
  • Establishment of an accountant-client relationship

Each client's tax situation is unique and depends on numerous factors including transaction history, residency status, business structure, and specific activities. Generic information cannot replace individualized professional advice.

1.3 Professional Relationship Required

Professional advice can only be provided after:

  1. Completion of a formal engagement process
  2. Thorough review of your specific circumstances
  3. Collection and verification of relevant documentation
  4. Signed terms of engagement
  5. Confirmation of service scope and fee agreement

2. No Guarantees

We cannot guarantee:

  • Specific tax savings or refund amounts
  • HMRC acceptance of any particular position
  • Avoidance of tax audits or enquiries
  • Particular outcomes in complex cases
  • Zero tax liability in any situation

Our role is to apply professional expertise to minimize tax liability within legal boundaries while ensuring full compliance.

3. Liability Cap

To the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to our professional indemnity insurance:

  • Our liability is limited to fees paid for services rendered
  • We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages
  • We are not liable for decisions made without our professional advice
  • We are not liable for losses arising from incomplete or inaccurate information provided to us

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or matters that cannot be excluded under UK law.

4. Data Security & Privacy

4.1 Information Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect client information:

  • Bank-level encryption for all data transmission and storage
  • Secure client portal access with two-factor authentication
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments

Important: However, no internet transmission is completely secure. You transmit information at your own risk.

4.2 Privacy Notice

Our collection, use, and protection of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy. We comply fully with:

  • UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR)
