Terms of Sale

1. Who we are

Five Filings is a trading name of Bradley Shaw, a sole trader. Contact: fivefilingshelp@gmail.com. In these terms, "we" and "us" means Five Filings, and "you" means the buyer.

2. What you're buying

The Five Filings Business Hub is a web app that runs in your browser on your phone or computer, with a Welcome PDF, a picture-by-picture quick start and a setup video. It helps you keep digital records of your business income and costs, sort your bank statement into HMRC's categories, and prepare figures for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.

3. What it is not

  1. It is not tax, accounting, financial or legal advice. Any tax figure it shows is an estimate to help you plan.
  2. It cannot send anything to HMRC by itself. To submit quarterly updates you need separate HMRC-recognised bridging software, which you choose and pay for (if it charges).
  3. Five Filings is independent and is not connected to, approved by or endorsed by HMRC or any government body.
  4. It suggests categories automatically, but these are suggestions. You decide what is a business or personal transaction.

4. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for: the information you enter; saving your Hub file after each session and keeping a copy somewhere safe; checking your records and figures before you send them; keeping receipts and statements for as long as the law requires; sending updates and returns, and paying tax, on time; and getting professional advice where you're unsure. If your circumstances are complex (for example partnerships, overseas income, capital allowances on large purchases, or VAT schemes), speak to an accountant.

5. Price and payment

The price is shown at checkout. Payment is taken by Payhip and its payment providers (Stripe or PayPal), whose own terms also apply to the payment. We never see or store your card details.

6. Delivery

Your download (the Welcome PDF with your Hub link) is available immediately after payment and sent to the email address you give at checkout. If it doesn't arrive, contact us and we'll resend it.

7. Cancellation

Because the Hub is digital content delivered straight away, you agree at checkout that delivery starts immediately and that you then lose the usual 14-day right to cancel. This does not affect your rights in section 8 if something is wrong with it.

8. If something is wrong with it (consumers)

If you're buying as a consumer, the law says the Hub must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. If it isn't, tell us and we'll fix it. If we can't fix it within a reasonable time, you're entitled to some or all of your money back. Nothing in these terms affects your legal rights. Citizens Advice can tell you more about them.

9. Business customers

Most buyers are sole traders buying for their business, and are business customers rather than consumers. If you're buying for your business: we promise the Hub will work substantially as described; if it doesn't, we'll correct it or refund what you paid. Apart from that promise and anything the law doesn't allow us to exclude, we don't give other promises about the Hub.

10. Refunds

If the Hub doesn't work as described, email us with your order number and what happened and we'll fix it. If we can't fix it within a reasonable time, we'll refund you in full. If you were charged twice or never received the download, we'll refund the duplicate or resend it straight away. We can't refund because you changed your mind after downloading, or because information was entered incorrectly. Refunds go back to your original payment method through Payhip, usually within 5 to 10 working days.

11. Our responsibility for loss

  1. We are responsible for loss you suffer that is a foreseeable result of us breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care.
  2. We are not responsible for: tax you would owe anyway; penalties, interest or surcharges caused by late or incorrect submissions, unless directly caused by a fault in the Hub that we failed to fix after you told us; losses caused by information you entered, by not saving or backing up your Hub file, or by your choice of bridging software; or losses we could not reasonably have foreseen.
  3. For business customers, our total liability is limited to the price you paid, and we are not liable for loss of profit, business or opportunity, or any indirect loss.
  4. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit.

12. Your licence to use the Hub

We give you a licence to use the Hub for your own business records, including sharing your records with your accountant or bookkeeper. You may not resell, share publicly or give away your Hub link, or pass off the Hub or its guides as your own. All rights in the Hub, the guides and the video stay with us.

13. Updates

Tax rates and HMRC rules change. The Hub shows which tax year's rates it uses. We may update the Hub and correct errors at any time.

14. Your data

Your records stay on your own device and in the Hub file you save. We can't see anything you put in your Hub. How we handle your order details is explained in our Privacy Policy.

15. Complaints

Email fivefilingshelp@gmail.com. We aim to reply within 5 working days.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The version that applies to your purchase is the one shown when you bought.

17. Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you're a consumer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts.
