These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and TorqBooks LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company.

2. Description of Service

TorqBooks is a cloud-based bookkeeping automation platform designed for automotive repair shops.

You must be at least 18 years old and authorized to bind your business to these Terms in order to create a TorqBooks account. By registering, you represent that all information you provide is accurate and complete.

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify TorqBooks immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach.

One Account Per Business

Each business location requires a separate TorqBooks subscription. You may not share account access across multiple shop locations under a single subscription unless you are subscribed to a multi-location plan.

4. Payment & Billing

Subscription Fees

TorqBooks charges a flat monthly subscription fee plus a one-time setup fee. The current pricing is available at torqbooks.com/pricing. All fees are in U.S. dollars.

Billing Cycle

Subscription fees are billed monthly on the anniversary of your subscription start date. Payment is processed automatically via Stripe using the card or bank account on file.

Setup Fee

The one-time setup fee covers hardware installation, data migration, on-site training, and custom configuration. The setup fee is non-refundable once services have been rendered.

Failed Payments

If a payment fails, we will notify you by email. Software access will be suspended within 48 hours of a failed payment. Access will be restored promptly upon successful payment. TorqBooks is not liable for any losses resulting from suspended access due to non-payment.

Price Changes

TorqBooks reserves the right to change subscription pricing with 30 days advance written notice. Continued use of the service after a price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

Upon cancellation, your access to the TorqBooks platform will continue through the end of the current billing period. After that, access will be terminated. Your data will be retained for 90 days following cancellation, during which you may request an export. After 90 days, your data will be permanently deleted.

Monthly subscription fees are non-refundable. If you cancel mid-month, you will retain access through the end of that billing period but will not receive a prorated refund.
