No Formation Of A Tax Advisor-Client Relationship
The information found on TaxConnections is intended for general information purposes only and should be used as a starting point for addressing your tax issues. The information is not the provision of tax services, and accessing such information, or corresponding with or asking questions of a tax advisor on our site via our services does not create a client relationship between you and TaxConnections, or any tax advisor.
Our site is not a substitute for an in-person or telephonic consultation with a tax advisor licensed to practice in your jurisdiction about your specific tax issue, and you should not rely on such information. You understand that tax questions and answers or other postings to the services are not confidential and are not subject to tax advisor client privilege.
TaxConnections is a platform where tax advisors unaffiliated with TaxConnections can offer information and interact with taxpayers. Any tax advisor relationship formed as a result of interactions between a tax advisor and a taxpayer on TaxConnections is between the tax advisor and the taxpayer.
TaxConnections cannot be held responsible for the quality or accuracy of any information or tax services provided by tax advisors on our site and the taxpayers interacting with them. There is not anything on the TaxConnections website that can be considered as creating or rendering professional or legal advice for any specific tax or business matter.
Every visitor to TaxConnections, or anyone reading any content originating from our site, is responsible for obtaining advice from a tax advisor they retain on their own. Each person’s situation has its own set of facts to be explored by the Tax Advisor they ultimately retain. No person should act or refrain from acting on the basis of content on TaxConnections without first obtaining matter specific and/or professional advice from the tax advisor they retain.
TaxConnections accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage, howsoever incurred, which may result from accessing or reliance on content on the TaxConnections’ website, and disclaims, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any or all liability with respect to acts or omissions made by clients or readers, on basis of content on the TaxConnections site.

Mandatory Arbitration And Dispute Resolution
We hope we never have a dispute, but if we do, you and we agree to try for 60 days to resolve it formally. If TaxConnections is unable to resolve your complaint, you and TaxConnections agree to individual binding arbitration under JAMS Mediation Services (Judicial Arbitration And Mediation Services) and not sue in court in front of a Judge or Jury. The arbitration will be conducted under the JAMS Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes and the arbitrator’s decision will be final except for a limited right of review under the FAA. The following applies to any arbitration proceedings between you and TaxConnections.
Before moving an unresolved informal dispute into arbitration, you must first send us a Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. This notice should be sent to CEO, contact@taxconnections.com.
Any arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand arbitration with JAMS within one year from when it first could be filed. Otherwise, it is permanently barred. If applicable law prohibits a one-year limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest period of time permitted by applicable law.
The enforcement of the arbitrator’s award will be controlled by and conducted in conformity with the FAA. Judgement upon any award may be entered in any court holding jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding Our Agreement To Arbitrate Disputes
Small Claims Court: If the Claim qualifies, either you or TaxConnections may bring action in small claims court in Superior Court of California, County of Riverside – Palm Springs Courthouse, 3255 E Tahquitz Canyon Way, Palm Springs, CA 92262. Any small claims court action must be filed within one year from when it first could be filed. Otherwise, the claim is permanently barred.
Injunctive Relief: TaxConnections may bring a lawsuit against you in any court of competent jurisdiction solely for injunctive relief to stop any unauthorized use or abuse of the services, or any intellectual property infringement. In these instances, TaxConnections may seek injunctive relief without first engaging in the informal dispute resolution or arbitration process, as described in these Terms Of Use.
Disputes Not Covered By Arbitration: In the event that arbitration is found to be inapplicable or unenforceable for any reason, or if you exercise the option to opt-out of arbitration as provided below, the claim at issue will be brought under judicial proceedings in federal or state courts in Riverside County, Palm Springs, CA. and you and TaxConnections consent to personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue in such courts.
Option To Opt Out Of Arbitration: You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor TaxConnections can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to the arbitration provision in these Terms. To opt out, you must send us a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration, along with your name, residence or business address, and the email address associated with your account to contact@taxconnections.com.
No Class Actions: You may only bring individual claims. Under no circumstances are you allowed to bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action.
