Terms of service

Last updated October 18, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and CopyMyBooks ("we", "us") for using CopyMyBooks at copymybooks.com. By creating an account, you agree to them. If you use CopyMyBooks for a business, you agree on its behalf and confirm you're allowed to.

1. The service

CopyMyBooks reads a QuickBooks Online company and copies it into a QuickBooks sandbox (a test company), for building and testing software. It only ever reads the real company. Before every copy, it clears the chosen sandbox: everything in that sandbox is removed first.

CopyMyBooks is not affiliated with or endorsed by Intuit. QuickBooks is a trademark of Intuit Inc.

2. Accounts

• Developers sign in with Google, GitHub or Intuit, and must be at least 18.
• You're responsible for activity in your account and for keeping your sign-in secure.
• Tell us promptly at [email protected] if you think your account has been misused.

3. Permission to copy a company

A company is read only after someone who can approve for it (a QuickBooks admin of that company) approves through a CopyMyBooks link, and only with the protections they choose.

• Developers: you must only ask for access to companies whose owner agrees to you copying their data for testing. Use the copies only for developing and testing software. Don't try to undo the protections the owner chose, or re-identify disguised people.
• Company owners: by approving, you allow CopyMyBooks to read your company and copy it into the developer's sandboxes, with your protections, until you stop access in QuickBooks (Apps, then My apps). The developer is responsible for how they use the copies.

4. Your sandboxes

You choose which of your sandboxes a copy goes into, and confirm it by typing its name. Clearing a sandbox can't be undone. Some records QuickBooks protects can't be removed, and the result lists them. Sandboxes and their contents are yours and are governed by your agreement with Intuit.

5. Acceptable use

Don't use CopyMyBooks to break the law or anyone's rights, including privacy laws and Intuit's terms; to access companies without permission; to overload, probe or get around its limits and protections; or to resell access to it.

6. Data

How we handle data is in our privacy policy. In short: real companies are only read, their books are kept encrypted for at most 24 hours (backups, kept a few days, expire on their own), and we don't sell data. The records in a copy remain the company owner's. We claim no ownership of them.

7. Fees

CopyMyBooks is currently free. If we start charging for anything, we'll tell account holders in advance, and you can choose whether to continue.

8. Changes and availability

We may change or stop features, and we'll tell account holders in advance about significant changes where we reasonably can. The service may sometimes be unavailable, including when QuickBooks is.

9. Ending your use

You can stop using CopyMyBooks at any time and ask us to delete your account. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or to protect a company owner's data. When an account closes, stored books are deleted on the usual schedule.

10. No warranty

CopyMyBooks is provided "as is". We work to make copies complete and accurate, and every copy reports what it couldn't copy and is checked against the real company. But to the fullest extent the law allows, we don't promise a copy will be complete, error-free or fit for any particular purpose.

11. Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for lost data in a sandbox you chose to clear. Our total liability to you is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and US$100.

12. Indemnity

If you copy a company without its owner's permission, or misuse a copy, and someone makes a claim against us as a result, you'll cover our reasonable costs of that claim.

13. Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we'll update the date above and email account holders about important changes. Continuing to use CopyMyBooks after a change means you accept it.
