Please explain why I should agree to Xero’s 'Terms of Use'?

Xero's Terms of Use are a contract with you. They include Xero's commitment as a service provider and your obligations as a customer.

As a professional, it is important to understand the terms of use when agreeing to any service or contract. Xero's terms of use lay out the commitments that Xero as a service provider has made to you, as well as your obligations as a customer. By agreeing to these terms of use, you are forming a legally binding contract with Xero. 

The terms of use outline Xero's responsibility to provide a reliable and secure service that meets industry standards. Xero promises to safeguard your data and keep it confidential, as well as provide customer support and regular updates to the service.

On the other hand, the terms of use also lay out your obligations as a customer of Xero. This includes using the service in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, protecting your login information, and paying any fees associated with the service.

By agreeing to these terms, you are ensuring that you and Xero are on the same page and that both parties will hold up their end of the agreement. This provides clarity and a solid foundation for your relationship with Xero as a service provider.

IMPORTANT NOTE

By backing up or taking copies of your data guarantee that you are in compliance with these obligations, specifically 

Clause 11. Your responsibilities:
Clause 37. Data loss:
Clause 53. Limitation of liability:

Xero's 'Terms of Use' ensure that your usage is compliant with the law and meets regulatory requirements. Agreeing to these terms provides legal protection, which ensures that both parties are working together under mutually agreed-upon conditions. 

Therefore, I highly recommend that you backup your Xero data which will provide you with peace of mind knowing that your dealings with Xero are fully compliant, and that your data is safe and secure. 

Not backing up your Xero data would be a non-compliance situation, potentially putting your company at risk of legal action.
