Terms of Service

Scope and purpose

These Terms of Service govern your use of the Portwise website and the accounting services made available through it. They apply to all visitors, whether you have engaged with our services or are simply browsing.

Portwise provides bookkeeping and accounting services focused on international trade — including landed cost capture, duty tracking, and multi-currency transaction management. The information on this site is for general informational purposes and does not constitute professional legal, tax, or customs advice.

1. Service usage

You may use this website and its content for the following purposes:

• Learning about our accounting services for international trade
• Making inquiries through the contact form
• Reviewing service descriptions and general information

The following uses are not permitted:

• Attempting to access systems, data, or infrastructure without authorization
• Reproducing, distributing, or reselling any site content without written permission
• Using automated tools to scrape, crawl, or collect data from this site at scale
• Submitting false, misleading, or harmful content through any site form
• Any use that violates applicable laws or regulations

2. Access and service engagement

This website does not currently require account creation. When you make an inquiry through the contact form, you are not entering into a service contract — that comes through a separate agreement.

Any formal engagement for accounting services will be governed by a separate service agreement between you and Portwise, which will contain its own terms regarding scope, fees, deliverables, and termination.

Portwise reserves the right to decline service inquiries at its discretion, without obligation to provide a reason.

3. Service availability

• Uptime — We aim to keep this website available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance, updates, or technical issues may cause temporary unavailability.
• Modifications — We may update, change, or remove content, features, or service offerings at any time. Material changes will be reflected in updated documentation.
• Geographic availability — Our services may not be available in all jurisdictions. It is your responsibility to ensure that engaging with Portwise is permissible under the laws applicable to you.
• Service changes — Portwise may discontinue specific services or change pricing at any time. Existing engagements will be handled according to their individual service agreements.

4. Intellectual property

• Site content — All text, graphics, structure, and original content on this site are the property of Portwise and protected by applicable copyright law.
• Limited license — You are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to view and use this site for its intended purposes. No other rights are granted.
• Trademarks — The Portwise name and any associated logos are proprietary identifiers. Use without written consent is not permitted.
• Client materials — Documents and data you share with us for bookkeeping purposes remain your property. We use them only to deliver the agreed services.

5. Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms of Service from time to time. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a revised date. Continued use of this site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you disagree with any revision, please stop using the site and contact us if you have an ongoing service engagement.
