Disclaimer Statement (Basis of Preparation)
Within your Fathom account, you will have the ability to include a Disclaimer Statement in your reports, also known as a ‘Basis of Preparation’ page.
This disclaimer statement is helpful to include if you wish to clearly specify the rights and obligations of all parties on the use of the report. It can be used to reinforce the confidentiality of sensitive data, provide context on how the report has been prepared, and specify whether the report can be used or copied in other documentation.
The disclaimer statement can be included in three kinds of reports in Fathom:
Pro Reports - the disclaimer statement can be shown for both the online and PDF versions.
Summary Reports - the disclaimer statement can be included within the PDF version.

Terms of Use (Client Disclaimer)
In addition to a disclaimer statement for reports, you can choose to require ‘client’ users to accept custom Terms and Conditions before using Fathom for the first time.
This serves a similar purpose to the disclaimer statement but can be helpful in clarifying the rights and obligations from the first time a client starts using Fathom.
You can access the client disclaimer from the 'Organisation Profile' of the 'Organisation Settings'.
❗Notice: Only Admin users will have access to this feature.
