By creating an account, accessing, or using the Conto web application or related services (collectively, the “Service”), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. United States-Only Service & Eligibility

  • U.S. Residents Only. Conto is currently offered solely to individuals and entities located within the United States.
  • Age & Authority. You must be at least 18 years old and possess the legal right and authority to enter into this agreement on behalf of yourself or, if applicable, your organization or clients.

4. Description of the Service

Conto is an AI-powered document-management platform that helps tax professionals request, collect, classify, and validate client tax documents. It uses Large Language Models (“LLMs”) and other AI techniques to extract information from uploaded files. This includes document analysis via third-party data processing services.

Our third-party document processing services store documents on cloud infrastructure with encryption at rest and in transit. Access is restricted to secure execution environments. Files are deleted within 24 hours and never used for model training. Our processing providers maintain SOC 2 Type II compliance and offer HIPAA-compliant pipelines for eligible customers.

Important: AI output may contain errors. Human review is always required; Conto does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice.

5. User Responsibilities

  1. Lawful Use. You will use Conto only for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
  2. Client Consent. If you upload or request documents on behalf of a client, you warrant that you have obtained all consents and authorizations required by law.
  3. Back-ups. You are responsible for maintaining your own copies of documents.
  4. Acceptable Use. You may not:
    • engage in fraudulent or illegal activities;
    • upload infringing, defamatory, or malicious content;
    • attempt to access the Service or related systems without authorization; or
    • resell or sublicense the Service without our prior written consent.

6. Intellectual Property

  • Fatbaby LLC IP. All software, code, trademarks, and content comprising Conto are owned by or licensed to Fatbaby LLC. We grant you a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Service as permitted by these Terms.
