These terms govern your firm's purchase of The Sprint or the AI Implementation Bootcamp from Byram Advisory Group, LLC, a Texas limited liability company doing business as Vesper & Co ("Byram", "we" or "us"). Buying means agreeing to the version presented for your purchase.

This version applies to purchases made on or after its effective date. An earlier purchase remains subject to the terms agreed for that purchase and any later agreement made in writing. Posting this revision does not change an earlier agreement or remove a refund right already agreed.

1. Who "your firm" means

The legal entity that paid, any entity that controls it or is under common control with it (more than 50% of the voting interests), and the partners, members, employees and individual contractors of any of them while engaged by your firm. There is no seat count and no headcount band for the software licence. One software licence covers all of it. Live Bootcamp participation is the firm place in the cohort described at purchase; the software's unlimited internal use does not expand the live services described in §6a.

2. The software licence included with either purchase

A perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to:

Nothing expires. There is nothing to renew, and nothing stops working if you stop paying us, because there is nothing to stop paying. You may pass the licence to a buyer of your firm or to a successor in a merger, on written notice to us.

This is a licence, not a transfer of the copyright. We keep ownership of the software. You own everything you write on top of it, all of your data and your clients' data, and everything the software produces for you. The software does not automatically send your code, data or outputs to Byram. If you separately give us access to a repository for Bootcamp help, the information you share is handled under Addendum A.

3. What you may not do

Building parts of the software into a system for your own use or for a client, and delivering that system's results, is expressly allowed and is not redistribution. That is the use case.

4. Refunds for The Sprint bought on its own

Seven days from purchase, on request, no reason required. Email owen@byram-advisory.com and it is done. You keep nothing — the licence ends and you delete your copies — but nobody is going to argue with you or ask you to justify it.

We ask one thing in return, and the refund does not depend on it: tell us what you expected and did not get. At this stage that is worth more to us than the money.

4a. The credit toward a Bootcamp seat

The full price of The Sprint comes off the price of a Bootcamp seat, and that credit does not expire. It is applied at purchase, against a seat as offered at the time you take it.

Three things follow from that, so nobody has to guess. The credit is not cash — it reduces the price of a seat and is not redeemable for money, transferable to another firm, or assignable. One credit per Sprint purchased. Refunding that standalone Sprint purchase ends its licence and the credit.

If a Bootcamp seat you applied the credit to is itself refunded, the credit is restored — it is not consumed by a purchase that was unwound.

4b. The Bootcamp's two-week refund

Work through the first two weeks. If nothing is running that was not running before, we refund the full amount your firm paid for the Bootcamp seat. Ask by emailing owen@byram-advisory.com within two weeks (14 days) from the start of your cohort's first live session. The window starts with that session, including if its scheduled start is moved.

The course's two-week target is a repeatable read of test data, tied out to its source. The refund does not depend on connecting a live accounting system, using client data, making paid model calls or finishing a platform. A phone call is welcome, but the refund does not depend on it.

A Bootcamp refund also ends the remaining live services for that seat and Byram's repository access for that engagement. Confidentiality and the return/deletion duties in Addendum A continue as stated there.

5. The obligation that runs the other way: human review

The software drafts. It does not decide. By buying it you agree that:

Skipping that review is a breach of these terms by your firm. It is not a defect in the software.

6. Corrections and bounded help

We may publish corrections at your delivery address, and we intend to. We are not obliged to publish any correction, to publish one within any period, or to keep publishing them.

The Sprint bought on its own includes bounded product and planning support: the planner, starter code, handoff, guides, and possible clarification of a closed, sanitized diagnostic. We may answer that question as a courtesy. We do not promise a response time. The standalone Sprint purchase includes no hands-on implementation, service level or availability commitment. The live instruction and repository help included with Bootcamp are described in §6a and Addendum A.

6a. What the Bootcamp adds

A Bootcamp purchase includes The Sprint and four live weeks of guided learning for your firm: four 60-minute sessions, a weekly office hour on your own code, and a separate 30-minute kickoff before Week One. The cohort listing and invitations give the dates and times.

Your team learns to scope, build, test and explain one starter finance and accounting workflow, with a handover record and a plan for extending it. The course begins with invented or approved non-client test data. Completing it does not establish a finished platform or permission to use client data. Any optional non-production connection still requires the account, data and cost permissions in the current Sprint guide.

Your firm's compatible workspace subscriptions, model usage and hosting are separate costs. The perpetual software licence does not create an ongoing implementation or support service. Repository help follows Addendum A: Byram signs the completed addendum before the firm invites the named account to its agreed private repository. A purchase does not itself grant that access.

7. Warranties, and the disclaimer of everything else

For 30 days from purchase, the software will perform materially as described in its README.md. Your sole and exclusive remedy if it does not is, at our election, a correction or a full refund of the amount actually paid for the purchase that supplied the software: the standalone Sprint purchase or the Bootcamp purchase. The licence and any prior Sprint credit are handled on a refund as described in §§4–4b. No separate or zero-dollar value is assigned to the Sprint software included with Bootcamp for this remedy.

This is the remedy for the software warranty in this section. It does not replace or limit the separate Bootcamp refund promise in §4b.

EXCEPT AS STATED IN THE PARAGRAPH ABOVE, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". BYRAM DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. BYRAM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECT WILL BE CORRECTED.

8. AI output — the one to read twice

THE SOFTWARE IS DESIGNED TO BE OPERATED WITH LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS SUPPLIED BY THIRD PARTIES. BYRAM MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND THAT ITS OUTPUT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, COMPLIANT WITH ANY ACCOUNTING OR TAX STANDARD, OR FIT TO BE POSTED, FILED OR RELIED ON. OUTPUT IS A DRAFT AND MUST BE REVIEWED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON BEFORE IT IS RELIED ON.

BYRAM IS NOT YOUR ACCOUNTANT, AUDITOR, TAX ADVISER OR ATTORNEY. NOTHING IN THE SOFTWARE OR ITS DOCUMENTATION OR THE BOOTCAMP IS ACCOUNTING, TAX, AUDIT OR LEGAL ADVICE, AND NOTHING IN THEM IS AN ASSURANCE ENGAGEMENT, AN OPINION, OR ANY OTHER ATTEST SERVICE. IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR OWN PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT OR YOUR OWN SYSTEM OF QUALITY CONTROL.

THE CONTROLS IN THE SOFTWARE ARE TOOLS FOR BUILDING A CONTROL ENVIRONMENT. THEY ARE NOT THEMSELVES A CONTROL ENVIRONMENT, AND BYRAM MAKES NO REPRESENTATION THAT THE SOFTWARE, AS DELIVERED OR AS YOU CONFIGURE IT, SATISFIES ANY PARTICULAR REGULATORY, PEER-REVIEW, PROFESSIONAL-STANDARD OR INSURANCE REQUIREMENT.

9. Limitation of liability

BYRAM'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE, THE BOOTCAMP OR THESE TERMS, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY WHATSOEVER — CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE OR OTHERWISE — WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOUR FIRM ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE SPRINT OR BOOTCAMP PURCHASE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. AN APPLIED SPRINT CREDIT IS NON-CASH; ITS RESTORATION ON A REFUND IS GOVERNED BY §§4a–4b.

IN NO EVENT WILL BYRAM BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES; OR FOR ANY ERROR, MISSTATEMENT, RESTATEMENT, PENALTY, INTEREST, PROFESSIONAL SANCTION, CLIENT CLAIM OR REGULATORY ACTION ARISING FROM OUTPUT THAT WAS POSTED, FILED OR RELIED ON — EVEN IF BYRAM WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

THIS LIMITATION APPLIES EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY IN §7 FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO BYRAM'S OWN FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

THE PRICE REFLECTS THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK. BYRAM WOULD NOT LICENSE THE SOFTWARE AT THIS PRICE OR PROVIDE THE BOOTCAMP AT ITS PRICE WITHOUT IT, AND YOUR FIRM ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS A BASIS OF THE BARGAIN.

10. Governing law and disputes

Texas law governs, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Exclusive venue is the state and federal courts sitting in Collin County, Texas, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there.

EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SOFTWARE OR THE BOOTCAMP.

In any action on these terms, the prevailing party may recover its reasonable attorney's fees and costs.

11. How long the licence lasts

Perpetually. We can end it only for a material breach of §3 that you do not fix within 30 days of written notice, and even then what you have already built on top of it keeps running. The separate refund provisions in §§4–4b also end the refunded licence as stated there. Sections 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 survive. Addendum A's confidentiality and deletion duties survive for their stated periods.

12. The rest of it

These terms, together with a completed Repository Access and Confidentiality Addendum signed by Byram for your firm, are the entire agreement about the purchased software and Bootcamp services. They replace earlier statements about those subjects, including website and marketing statements. The course services and refund promise in §§4b and 6a remain part of these terms.

The addendum controls any conflict about repository access, confidentiality, permitted use of information and return/deletion. The software licence, ownership, refunds, warranty and liability provisions in these terms continue to govern those subjects. The addendum does not create an exception to the liability allocation in §9.

Changes have to be in writing and signed by both of us — no purchase order, vendor-onboarding form or click-through you send us changes them. A completed addendum signed by Byram is the repository undertaking described here; accepting these terms does not replace that signature. If a provision is unenforceable it is trimmed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stands. Not enforcing something once is not a waiver of it. There are no third-party beneficiaries.
