Terms of Use

Acceptance of these terms

This website is operated by AmeriClear Tax Relief(“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the site, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

The website is informational only

This site exists to explain what we do and how IRS collection and resolution programs generally work, and to let you ask us about your situation. It is a source of general information and a way to start a conversation. It is not the delivery of professional services.

No professional relationship is formed

Using this site does not make you our client. Neither does submitting the contact form, calling us, emailing us, or speaking with us during a free consultation. No representation, engagement, or professional relationship of any kind is created by any of those things.

We represent you only after both of us sign a written engagement agreement that describes the scope of the work and the fee. Until that agreement is signed, we have no obligation to act on your behalf, no deadline is being tracked for you, and nothing is being filed for you. If you are facing a levy, a lien, or a deadline, do not assume we are handling it until we have told you in writing that we are.

Please do not send us confidential or sensitive information before we have an engagement in place. Information you send before then may not be treated as confidential or privileged.

No tax or legal advice

Everything on this site is general information. It is not tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, or financial advice, and it is not a substitute for advice about your specific facts from a professional who has reviewed them.

Tax outcomes turn on details — your income, your assets, your filing history, what your transcripts actually say, and the deadlines that apply to your case. Nothing you read here accounts for any of that. Do not act, or decide not to act, based on this website alone.

No guarantee of results

We do not promise any particular outcome, and nothing on this site should be read as a promise of one.

• Eligibility for IRS programs — including offers in compromise, installment agreements, currently not collectible status, and penalty relief — is determined by the IRS, not by us.
• Results depend on your individual circumstances, on the accuracy and completeness of what you give us, and on how the IRS or a state agency applies its own rules to your case.
• Any example, case description, or general figure on this site is illustrative. It is not a prediction of what will happen in your case.

AmeriClear Tax Relief is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the IRS or any government agency.

Accuracy of information you provide

When you submit information to us, you agree that it is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge, and that you are the person you say you are. If you provide a phone number, you confirm that you are the subscriber or the regular user of that number, or that you otherwise have authority to consent to contact at it. If any of that changes, tell us.

We rely on what you tell us. Incomplete or inaccurate information leads to bad guidance, and in a live case it can cost you options.

Intellectual property

The content on this site — text, graphics, logos, the AmeriClear Tax Relief name and marks, page design, and the arrangement of it all — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may view and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from the site or use our marks without our prior written permission.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these terms
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information, or impersonate any person or entity
• Submit a phone number or email address you are not authorized to provide
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, its systems, or any data, or interfere with its operation or security
• Use bots, scrapers, or automated means to access or collect content, or place an unreasonable load on our infrastructure
• Transmit malware or any other harmful code
• Harvest information about other users

We may suspend or terminate access to the site at any time, without notice, for any reason.

Third-party links and services

The site may link to or rely on websites and services we do not control, including government resources such as IRS.gov. Links are provided for convenience. We do not endorse those sites, we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices, and your use of them is governed by their terms, not ours.

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ON IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the content is accurate, complete, or current. Tax law changes, and pages on this site may not reflect the most recent developments.

Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER AMERICLEAR TAX RELIEF NOR ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF — OR INABILITY TO USE — THIS SITE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THIS SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AND IT DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER A SIGNED ENGAGEMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH ARE GOVERNED BY THAT AGREEMENT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AmeriClear Tax Reliefand its owners, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses — including reasonable attorneys’ fees — arising out of or related to your use of the site, your violation of these terms, your violation of any law or the rights of a third party, or information you submitted that was false or that you were not authorized to provide.

Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection to venue there.

Severability

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest of these terms will remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Changes take effect when posted, and your continued use of the site means you accept them. Please check back periodically.
