The deal we're making,in plain English.

The service Bookwren provides

Bookwren is a bookkeeping assistant that reads your Gmail, categorizes the receipts and subscriptions it finds there, and assembles a monthly packet for your accountant. The full pipeline, end to end:

• Read-only Gmail ingestion. When you connect Gmail, we request the gmail.readonly OAuth scope. We read message metadata and body content for receipts, invoices, and subscription notices. We never send, delete, or modify mail on your behalf.
• AI categorization. Receipts and invoices are matched to the IRS Schedule C line items your accountant already uses — utilities, software, supplies, travel, contractors — and dropped on the right row of the categorized ledger. Recurring charges are audited over time so duplicates and price-creep are flagged before they compound.
• Optional monthly accountant packet. At month-end we assemble the categorized ledger, the subscription audit, and any items that need a human eye into a single packet your accountant can open without re-keying anything.

Your responsibilities

Using Bookwren carries a few baseline obligations. By signing up you agree that:

• You own the inbox you connect.The Gmail account you link must be yours — a personal or business inbox that you're authorized to operate. Don't connect an inbox that belongs to someone else without their written permission.
• You won't connect mail you wouldn't want processed. If there's content in an inbox that you wouldn't want flowing through a third-party pipeline, connect a different inbox for that account or filter it out before you link Gmail. Bookwren only reads financial events, but the Gmail scope is inbox-wide.
• You won't use Bookwrento process content you don't have the right to send through it. You're responsible for making sure that what flows through Bookwren — through your inbox or otherwise — doesn't violate any law, contract, or third-party right.
• Your books and your filings stay your responsibility. Bookwren categorizes and assembles a monthly packet, but you are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of your business records, the integrity of your tax filings, and any decisions you make based on the categorized ledger.

Subscription terms

Paid plans are billed through Stripe, our payment processor. The full pipeline is gated by your subscription tier; the free tier lets you preview the categorization before you commit.

• Pricing. See the pricing page for current plan tiers, what each tier includes, and the monthly or annual price.
• Billing through Stripe. Card details are collected and stored by Stripe on a Stripe-hosted checkout page. Bookwren never sees your card number — we store only the Stripe customer and subscription identifiers and the plan tier you chose.
• Automatic renewal.Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the interval you selected (monthly or annually) until you cancel. There's no separate renewal notice — the price and interval are listed on the pricing page before you subscribe, and again on the Stripe receipt for each charge.
• Cancellation. You can cancel at any time from the dashboard settings. Cancellation stops the next renewal; the current billing period stays active until it ends.
• Refunds.Refunds, where offered, are handled per the policy on the pricing page and Stripe's standard framework. Unless the pricing page says otherwise, fees for the current billing period are non-refundable.

Bookwren is bookkeeping software, not a substitute for a licensed accountant

Bookwren is a software tool that assists with bookkeeping. It is not a professional services firm, and it does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. Specifically:

• Bookwren is not a CPA, enrolled agent, licensed tax preparer, or law firm. The categorization pipeline is software — a rules-and-models layer that maps receipts to Schedule C line items, not a human professional reviewing your books.
• The monthly accountant packet is meant to be opened by your accountant or bookkeeper. It is a starting point, not a finished set of books.
• AI categorization can be wrong. Always confirm the categorized ledger before you rely on it for a filing, a quarterly estimate, or a financial decision. A qualified professional should review anything that's about to be filed or reported.
• Nothing on Bookwren — including any AI-generated output, categorization, or monthly summary — should be taken as tax, legal, or accounting advice for your specific situation. Talk to a qualified professional before filing.
