Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: September 22, 2025
Last Updated: September 22, 2025

Welcome to ItalianTaxes.com (“we,” “our,” “us”). These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of our website www.italiantaxes.com (the “Site”) and our tax preparation and filing services (the “Services”). By accessing or using the Site or Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use our Site or Services.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use our Services. By using ItalianTaxes.com, you represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

2. Services Provided

ItalianTaxes.com provides an online platform to help individuals and non-residents of Italy understand and meet their Italian tax obligations. Our Services include online calculators, tax filing tools, and optional expert-backed support. We use a combination of technology and professional expertise to produce accurate tax filings; however, the ultimate liability for the accuracy and completeness of all information provided rests with the user. We do not provide legal representation, and information on the Site should not be considered legal or financial advice.

3. User Responsibilities

By using our Services, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, especially when submitting financial or tax-related data. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of any information provided and for compliance with Italian, U.S., or other applicable tax laws. You must keep your login credentials secure and notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account.

4. Fees and Payments

Paid Services are limited to one-time annual tax filing fees and any optional services you select. All payments must be made through our secure payment processors. By submitting payment, you authorize us to charge the applicable fees.

5. Refund and Cancellation Policy

Because our Services involve the preparation of personalized tax documents, our refund and cancellation rules are as follows:

• All payments made for annual tax filing services are non-refundable once work has commenced on your tax return. Work is considered to have commenced once you have submitted required documentation or we have started processing your tax information through our system.
  
• Payments for optional add-on services (such as consultations or document reviews) are also non-refundable once the service has been scheduled or delivered.
  
• If you request a cancellation before you upload or submit any financial information, you may be eligible for a partial refund, subject to administrative processing fees. You must contact support@italiantaxes.com within 5 business days of your purchase to request such a cancellation.
  
• While we do not guarantee the accuracy of filings, if a proven error is caused solely by our system or personnel (and not due to incomplete, incorrect, or delayed information from you), we will work with you to correct the error at no additional charge. Refunds will not be issued in these circumstances.
  
• By purchasing our Services, you agree not to initiate chargebacks with your bank or payment provider without first contacting us to resolve the issue.
  

6. Accuracy and Limitations

We make every effort to ensure that our technology and expert-backed support deliver the most accurate tax filings possible. However, we provide no guarantee of accuracy or completeness. You acknowledge that all responsibility for the correctness of information submitted lies with you, and that errors, omissions, or delays in providing required information may affect your filings.

7. Data Privacy 

Your use of our Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy. By using ItalianTaxes.com, you consent to the collection and processing of your personal and financial information as described in that Policy.

Data Encryption and Security Disclaimer

Our platform employs strong encryption and secure infrastructure to protect your information. We utilize Supabase as a managed infrastructure provider. Supabase is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and HIPAA compliant, meeting internationally recognized standards for data protection and security practices.

All user data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 and in transit using TLS (Transport Layer Security). Certain sensitive elements (such as authentication tokens and keys) are further encrypted at the application level. Supabase also conducts regular security audits, penetration testing, and enforces role-based access controls to protect against unauthorized access.

While we adopt industry-leading safeguards and rely on trusted infrastructure, no system of storage or transmission can be guaranteed as 100% secure. By using our services, you acknowledge and accept that:

1. Encryption reduces, but does not eliminate, risks of unauthorized access or data loss.
   
2. Certifications (such as SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA) are indicators of robust practices but do not create a warranty of absolute protection.
   
3. We are not liable for damages arising from events beyond our reasonable control, including breaches or vulnerabilities that occur despite the use of encryption and industry-standard security measures.
   

Your continued use of our services indicates your understanding and agreement with these limitations.

8. Intellectual Property

All content, including text, graphics, logos, software, and design elements available on ItalianTaxes.com, are our exclusive property and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our prior written consent.

9. Third-Party Services

Some Services may involve integration with third-party providers such as payment processors or professional tax advisors. We are not responsible for the actions, omissions, or policies of these third parties. Your use of their services is governed by their own terms and conditions.

10. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Disclaimer

Our platform incorporates Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to assist in the preparation of tax-related documentation and reports. AI may be used to process information you provide in order to generate draft forms, calculations, or suggested outputs.

While AI enhances the efficiency and quality of our services, the following conditions apply:

1. No External Sharing: User inputs and outputs are never shared with OpenAI or other AI service providers. All AI functionality is deployed in a way that prevents external data retention or feedback loops.
   
2. No Guarantee of Accuracy: AI-generated outputs are provided for your convenience and may require human review or correction. We do not guarantee that AI results are free of errors or omissions, and the responsibility for verifying accuracy ultimately rests with you.
   
3. Supplemental, Not Determinative: AI is a tool to assist the preparation of documents but does not replace expert review or the responsibility of the user to provide correct information.
   
4. Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for any errors, inaccuracies, or reliance placed solely on AI-generated outputs. Users remain responsible for the final review and submission of their tax filings.
   

By using our services, you agree to the use of AI in the limited capacity described above and accept the associated disclaimers and limitations.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or outcome of any tax filing. We do not warrant that the Site will be error-free, secure, or continuously available.
