Effective Date: February 10, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Sovereign Tax desktop application ("Software," "App," or "Product") developed and distributed by Sovereign Tax ("we," "us," or "our"). By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using the Software, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you will not install, access, or otherwise use the Software.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. They contain an agreement to arbitrate disputes, a class action waiver, a limitation on the time period in which claims may be brought, and other important provisions affecting your legal rights.
By using the Software, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. If you are using the Software on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. We disclaim any liability for any misrepresentation of your age or authority.
Upon purchase, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, perpetual license to install and use one copy of the Software on up to two (2) devices that you personally own or control. This is a one-time purchase — no subscription or recurring fees are required.
You may not:
We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction.
Sovereign Tax is a local, offline desktop application that runs entirely on your device. The Software:
Your data is yours alone. We have no access to your financial data, transaction history, tax calculations, or any other information you enter into the Software. We cannot recover lost data or PINs because we do not have them.
The Software is a calculation tool, not a tax advisor. Sovereign Tax is designed to help you organize Bitcoin transaction data and calculate potential capital gains and losses using ATO-permitted accounting methods (FIFO and Specific Identification).
No fiduciary relationship has been created between you and Sovereign Tax by virtue of your use of the Software.
You acknowledge and agree that:
While we strive to ensure the accuracy of the Software's calculations, we make no guarantees that the outputs are error-free or suitable for lodging with any tax authority. The accuracy of results depends entirely on the accuracy and completeness of the data you provide.
You are responsible for:
You agree that Sovereign Tax is not liable for any errors, omissions, loss, or damage which may be caused by your use of the Software or its outputs, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Because the Software operates entirely offline with local encryption:
While the Software employs industry-standard encryption (AES-256-GCM) and is designed with security as a priority, we cannot and do not guarantee that the Software is completely secure or immune from vulnerabilities, exploits, or unauthorized access. No software, regardless of its design or encryption methods, can guarantee absolute security.
You acknowledge and agree that:
SOVEREIGN TAX EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM ANY SECURITY BREACH, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, OR DATA COMPROMISE RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR THE DEVICE ON WHICH IT IS INSTALLED.
Sovereign Tax is sold as a one-time purchase through our authorized payment processor (currently Gumroad). The purchase price includes the current version of the Software and any future updates we choose to release at no additional charge. Sovereign Tax offers a 30-day refund policy.
Payment processing services are provided by third-party payment processors and are subject to their respective terms and conditions. By agreeing to these Terms, you also agree to be bound by the applicable payment processor's terms. We assume no liability or responsibility for any payments you make through third-party processors.
If you are not satisfied with the Software for any reason, you may request a full refund within 30 days of purchase by emailing support@sovereigntax.io. No questions asked. After 30 days, payments are final and non-refundable unless otherwise determined by Sovereign Tax at its sole discretion. If you experience technical issues at any time, contact us and we will work to resolve the issue.
We may release updates to the Software from time to time that include bug fixes, new features, or compatibility improvements. Updates are provided at our discretion and are not guaranteed. When updates are available, you will need to download and install the new version manually.
The Software, including its code, design, user interface, documentation, algorithms, and branding, is protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. The Sovereign Tax name and logos are trademarks of Sovereign Tax. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved by Sovereign Tax.
You agree not to copy, modify, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, reverse assemble, or otherwise attempt to discover any source code, sell, assign, sublicense, or otherwise transfer any right in the Software. Nothing in these Terms should be construed as granting any license or right to use any Sovereign Tax trademarks without our prior written permission.
You may not use the Software to:
No employee, independent contractor, agent, or affiliate of any competing provider of cryptocurrency tax or asset management software is permitted to access, use, or evaluate any portion of the Software without the express written permission of Sovereign Tax. By using the Software, you represent and warrant that you are not a competitor of Sovereign Tax or acting on behalf of a competitor.
The Software may optionally connect to third-party APIs (such as CoinGecko) solely to fetch current Bitcoin price data. Your access to and use of any third-party service is subject to that service's own terms and conditions. We have no control over and are not responsible for any third-party service, including the accuracy, availability, reliability, or security of information shared by or available through them. No personal or financial data is transmitted to these services. We are not an agent or representative of any third-party service provider.
YOU EXPRESSLY RELIEVE SOVEREIGN TAX FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY THAT MAY ARISE FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND/OR USE OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. SOVEREIGN TAX AND ITS DEVELOPERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT (A) THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (B) THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (C) THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE; OR (D) THE QUALITY OF ANY REPORTS, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL GENERATED BY THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS OR BE SUITABLE FOR LODGING WITH ANY TAX AUTHORITY.
NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM SOVEREIGN TAX OR THROUGH THE SOFTWARE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.
Australian Consumer Law: If you are a "consumer" within the meaning of the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)), the Software comes with guarantees that cannot be excluded under that law. Nothing in this section purports to exclude, restrict, or modify any consumer guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law. To the extent that our liability for breach of a non-excludable guarantee cannot be limited, our total liability to you is limited (at our election) to re-supplying the Software or paying the cost of having the Software re-supplied.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT SOVEREIGN TAX AND ITS DEVELOPERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, OR DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF SOVEREIGN TAX HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, resulting from:
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SOVEREIGN TAX'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR CAUSES OF ACTION SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE.
Australian Consumer Law: The limitations in this section do not apply to the extent that they would exclude, restrict, or modify rights or remedies that you have under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) which cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified. Where our liability cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, it is limited (at our election) to re-supplying the Software or paying the cost of having the Software re-supplied. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SOFTWARE OR WITH THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SOFTWARE.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Sovereign Tax, its developers, affiliates, and their respective officers, employees, agents, and licensors (collectively, the "Sovereign Tax Parties") from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable legal costs, rights, claims, actions of any kind, and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Software, any data you input into or generate from the Software, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any rights of another party, or your lodging of tax returns based on the Software's outputs. This indemnification obligation does not apply to the extent it would constitute an unfair contract term under the Australian Consumer Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will have no obligation to indemnify any Sovereign Tax Party from or against any liability incurred as a result of such party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Sovereign Tax reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification under this section, and you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting our defense. You may not settle or compromise any claim against the Sovereign Tax Parties without our written consent.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
Pre-Dispute Resolution: Before initiating any formal dispute resolution process, you must first send us a written Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. If we do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, either party may proceed as set out below.
Tribunal and Court Rights Preserved: Nothing in this section prevents you from lodging a complaint or claim with the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT), any other relevant state or territory tribunal, or any court of competent jurisdiction. Your statutory rights under the Australian Consumer Law and other applicable legislation are fully preserved.
Optional Arbitration: If both parties agree, disputes may be resolved through arbitration conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the Resolution Institute's rules and procedures. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned only for very limited reasons. All aspects of any arbitration proceeding, including any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential.
Individual Claims: To the extent permitted by law, you and Sovereign Tax agree that each party may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative action or proceeding, unless such a waiver would be void or unenforceable under applicable Australian law.
Australian Consumer Law: Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty, or other term or condition, implied or imposed by the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) or any other applicable Australian legislation which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If the Australian Consumer Law applies to you as a consumer, nothing in these Terms is intended to limit the remedies available under those laws.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Software or these Terms must be filed within three (3) years after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. This limitation does not apply where it would conflict with any statutory limitation period under Australian law that cannot be contractually shortened, including claims under the Australian Consumer Law.
Your license to use the Software continues indefinitely unless terminated. We may terminate your license if you violate these Terms. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity may be grounds for termination and may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Software and delete all copies. Termination may be effected without prior notice. Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 21 survive termination.
You will comply with all applicable Australian laws and regulations, including those maintained by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade ("DFAT") and the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre ("AUSTRAC"). You represent and warrant that you are not located in, organized in, or a resident of any country or territory that is the target of Australian autonomous sanctions, and that you are not listed on any Australian Government sanctions list. You will not use the Software in any manner that would result in a violation of any applicable sanctions or anti-money laundering laws.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms. You and Sovereign Tax submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts and tribunals of New South Wales, Australia.
We reserve the right to change or modify portions of these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Software or through other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Software after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Software.
By using the Software, you consent to receive electronic communications from us (e.g., through the Software interface or email) and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
Sovereign Tax shall not be in default or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations where such failure or delay is due to civil disturbances, riot, epidemic, pandemic, hostilities, war, terrorist attack, embargo, natural disaster, acts of God, flood, fire, sabotage, fluctuations or unavailability of electrical power, network access or equipment, or any other circumstances or causes beyond Sovereign Tax's reasonable control.
The failure of Sovereign Tax to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
These Terms (together with any terms incorporated by reference herein) constitute the entire agreement between you and Sovereign Tax regarding the Software and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, or communications, whether written or oral. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
If you have questions about these Terms, contact us at the email provided with your purchase.
