Terms of Service

1. Who We Are

Mana Tax is an AI-powered tax platform for New Zealand businesses, operated by [Company Legal Name] (NZBN: [insert]). Our platform connects to Xero to provide automated tax insights, AI-driven guidance, and real-time tax management tools.
The content on this website is general in nature and does not constitute personalised tax advice unless explicitly stated.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Mana Tax platform, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the platform. We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use means you accept any changes.

3. Use of the Platform

You agree to use the platform lawfully and for its intended purpose: managing your business tax obligations, accessing AI-driven tax guidance, and connecting your Xero data.

You must not:

  • Use the platform for any illegal or deceptive activity
  • Provide false or misleading information
  • Try to gain unauthorised access to our systems or another user’s data
  • Copy, reuse, or distribute content without written permission
  • Interfere with the operation or security of the platform

4. Xero Integration

Mana Tax connects to Xero via OAuth 2.0. By connecting your Xero account, you authorise Mana Tax to read and, where applicable, write to your Xero organisation as required to deliver the platform’s features. You may revoke this access at any time through your Xero account settings.
Mana Tax is not affiliated with or endorsed by Xero Limited. The client remains the account holder and retains ownership of their Xero data at all times.

5. Subscription and Billing

Access to paid features requires an active subscription. Plans and pricing are set out on the Pricing page. Subscriptions are billed in advance via Stripe. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge your nominated payment method on a recurring basis.

  • Billed monthly in advance
  • You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period
  • We do not provide refunds for unused portions of a subscription period, except where required by law
  • Late or failed payments may result in suspension or termination of access

6. Nature of the Service

Mana Tax provides AI-driven tax information and tools to support tax management and compliance. The platform is designed to support informed decision-making and is not a substitute for professional tax or legal advice.
While we take care to ensure accuracy, we make no warranty that outputs are complete, current, or suited to your specific circumstances. You should seek independent professional advice before making significant tax decisions.
Mana Tax does not file tax returns or lodge submissions with Inland Revenue (IRD). The platform supports preparation and planning but does not constitute tax filing or representation.

7. Intellectual Property

All content, software, and technology on the platform is owned by or licensed to Mana Tax. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute anything without our written permission. Your use of the platform does not grant you any ownership rights in our intellectual property.

8. Your Data

You retain ownership of your data. By using the platform, you grant Mana Tax a limited licence to access, process, and store your data as necessary to provide the services. We handle your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Where you provide third-party credentials or API keys (for example, for Xero or other integrations), these are used exclusively to connect your chosen services and remain under your control.

9. Client Responsibilities

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and up-to-date information when using the platform
  • Ensure all content and data you supply is accurate and compliant with applicable law
  • Maintain the confidentiality of your account credentials
  • Notify us promptly of any unauthorised access or security concern
  • Not use the platform for any unlawful, deceptive, or harmful purpose

10. No Warranties and Limitation of Liability

We do our best to keep the platform accurate and available, but:

  • Content and outputs may change at any time
  • We don’t guarantee the platform is error-free or fit for your specific situation
  • You use the platform at your own risk


To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, we are not liable for any direct or indirect loss arising from your use of the platform or reliance on its outputs, including loss of profit, data, or business opportunity.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, the Fair Trading Act 1986, or other applicable New Zealand legislation.

11. Website Availability

We aim to keep the platform available at all times but take no responsibility for loss caused by temporary unavailability during planned maintenance or due to technical issues beyond our control.

12. Third-Party Links and platforms

The platform may link to or integrate with third-party websites and services. We are not responsible for their content, terms, or privacy practices. Campaign or platform performance is subject to third-party algorithms and market conditions — no specific results are guaranteed.

13. Privacy

We handle your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. By using the platform, you consent to that policy.

14. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform due to events beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, power outages, cyber-attacks, third-party platform failures, or government actions.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time by uploading a revised version. The change takes effect on the date the revised version is uploaded. Continued use of the platform means you accept the updated terms.

16. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any disputes will be handled exclusively by New Zealand courts. By using the platform, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
