Effective June 1, 2018
Thanks for signing up for ABLE!! We are excited you are here, but first we have to get some legal stuff out of the way so you can be well on your way to sustainable growth in no time. Below are the rules for using ABLE. Please read them carefully.
These Terms and Conditions serve as an agreement between Ability Resources, Inc. (“Company”) and any person or business (each a “User” or “Client”) that accesses or uses the ABLE system. By using the ABLE system, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
In plain English, “We” are the Company and “You” are the “User” or “Client,” meaning the person or business accessing the “Website” (www.growwithable.com, www.able.accountants and my.able.accountants) and our services (“the ABLE system”).
Rules were meant to be followed. Don’t do anything illegal on the site and PLEASE don’t hack us! You shall not use the Website for any illegal purposes, and will use it in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. You agree not to use the Website in a way that will cause interruption, damage, or render the Website less effective, efficient, or functional. You agree not to attempt any unauthorized access to any part or component of the Website.

You are responsible for your account, the information in it, and keeping all of that safe. So create a tough password and don’t tell anyone! You are responsible for the accuracy, completeness, legality, safety, right-of-use, and confidentiality of the information contained in your account. Your account is not transferrable to another person or third party.
Your individual account must be associated with an organization registered with the ABLE system.
