16.  ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR QUICKBOOKS PAYROLL SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES (TOGETHER THE “PAYROLL SERVICES”)  
        
(1)   QuickBooks Basic Payroll, Standard Payroll, Enhanced Payroll, Enhanced Payroll for Accountants, and Enhanced Payroll Plus (“Basic”, “Standard or Enhanced Payroll”). (Not applicable for Software and Trial versions that do not include access to the applicable Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll Service.) In order for you to calculate federal and state payroll taxes, you must (i) have registered the Software, (ii) have Internet access, and (iii) subscribe to the applicable Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll service.   You may subscribe to the applicable Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll through the Software by clicking on the appropriate Employee menu item from within the Software. The applicable Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll service will begin after we receive and process all the information requested, including your credit card or bank account information. You must have a valid credit card or a valid debit card with a Visa or MasterCard logo (“Card”) or sufficient funds in a U.S. checking or savings account to cover an electronic debit of the subscription fee to obtain the applicable Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll, except as described below.  The information you provide must be accurate and complete. When you subscribe and provide payment information, your Card or bank account will be debited and will be automatically re-debited at the beginning of each applicable monthly or one-year subscription term of the Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll (“Renewal Term”) at the then current subscription rate to maintain the Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll service. You may notify us to cancel the Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll service prior to the beginning of each Renewal Term. If, during a Renewal Term, the Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll service for your version of the Software is discontinued by us, Intuit shall refund to you the prorated amount of the subscription fee for the period of time you were unable to use the Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll.

Standard and Enhanced Payroll  purchased at retail will begin after you activate Standard or Enhanced Payroll, which activation must be no later than ninety (90) days from purchase or the date marked on the outside of your QuickBooks Payroll box, whichever is earlier. 

For each registered copy of the Software, you must purchase a separate subscription for Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll. For the purposes of Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll subscriptions, a QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Premier Multi-user pack, or an Enterprise  Business Management Software user pack is considered a single registered copy of the Software.  If you are using one of the aforementioned versions of the Software, you will need only one subscription to the applicable Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll service.

We strongly recommend you connect to Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll to validate your subscription and receive the most current payroll tax updates at least once every 45 days. Failure to update within 45 days may result in inaccurate withholding from payroll and you hereby assume any and all liability resulting from any inaccurate withholding resulting from a failure to update.  Also, as a safety measure, and due to the annual changes in payroll tax rates, if you are not a subscriber to the Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll Service on February 15 of each year you will be unable to continue to process payroll using tax tables from the prior year.  In the event this occurs, connect with Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll, bring your subscription account current if necessary, get the latest payroll updates, and you will again be able to process payroll.  

License Grant and Restrictions. If and when you subscribe to Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll and pay the applicable subscription fee, Intuit grants you a limited non-exclusive license to use the tax tables, selected payroll tax forms (for Standard and Enhanced Payroll only), when available, and documentation (“Payroll Updates”) within the United States, provided that you comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You may not use the Payroll Updates except with the Software. You may only use or install updates to Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll on the computer(s) used by individual(s) for whom you have purchased a license to the Software.  You may not process payroll for any other person, company or legal entity without a valid subscription to the Enhanced Payroll for Accountants payroll service. Certain Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll may have restrictions on the number of employees for whom payroll can be processed.

Termination and Amendment. Your rights to the Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll subscription may be terminated by Intuit immediately and without notice if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement or if Intuit is unable to debit your Card in accordance with this Agreement.  Intuit shall have the right to change or add to the terms or conditions of the Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll service at any time (provided that it is not Intuit’s intent that such change substantially affect the license rights granted to you and for which consideration was paid by you), and to change the method of delivering or accessing the Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll service and/or the subscription fee, and to change, delete, discontinue or impose conditions on any feature or aspect of the Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll service.  In this event you will receive notice of such change, typically via email or on www.quickbooks.com. For the latest version of the terms or conditions of the Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll service, go to www.payroll.com, or such other site designated by Intuit.  The Payroll Service does not include access to the Internet for connecting to Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll, nor does it include furnishing advice of deductions. Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll does not include information regarding selected local and state taxes. Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll operates only with a compatible version of the Software; so from time to time you may need to install updates or upgrades (or allow Intuit to install them electronically) or purchase an upgrade version of the Software to continue using Basic, Standard or Enhanced Payroll. All users in a multi-user environment must be using valid licensed copies of the same version year of the Software. 

Electronic Filing and Payment of Payroll Tax for Enhanced Payroll. You must have a supported version of QuickBooks and a current subscription to Enhanced Payroll in order to electronically file and pay your payroll taxes (“Transaction”) using QuickBooks.  If you choose to file and/or pay your Transaction electronically, it will be forwarded to Intuit's Electronic Filing Center where Intuit will convert it to a standardized format and transmit it to the applicable federal and/or state taxing authority (the "Electronic Filing Services"). You are responsible for verifying the status of your Transaction to confirm that it has been received and accepted by the applicable taxing authority, and if necessary, for filing and paying it manually in the event that the taxing authority rejects your Transaction (e.g., incorrect bank account number, invalid pin, duplicate payment).  Except to the extent required by applicable law, Intuit has no obligation to store, maintain or provide to you any information you provide to Intuit, and you agree to print and save a copy of your Transaction for your records.  By using this system to prepare and submit your Transaction, you consent to the disclosure to the IRS and any other tax or revenue authority of all information pertaining to your use of the Electronic Filing Services.  Using the system to prepare and submit your Transaction with state taxing authorities is subject to availability. 
Some Transactions may go through the Automated Clearing House (the “ACH”), and you agree that your Transactions will be governed by the ACH rules. You warrant to Intuit everything that Intuit must warrant as an ACH Originator, and you accept any liability you or Intuit may incur which is caused by your Transactions. If Intuit tells you that information concerning your Transactions has changed, you must use this corrected information in the future to initiate Transactions.
You authorize Intuit to send Transactions, electronically or by any other commercially accepted method, to the appropriate financial institution or taxing authority. You also authorize and direct the institution which holds your demand deposit account, identified when you sign up, or any other account you identify when using the Enhanced Payroll Service in the future (“Your Account(s)”), to charge each debit to Your Account(s) and pay that amount to the government agency.  You authorize Intuit and its agents (if applicable) to enroll you with the appropriate taxing authorities for the purposes of e-filing and e-payment at our discretion. This authorization remains in effect until you notify Intuit that this authorization is revoked.  

*Note: You understand that certain features in the payroll tax electronic filing and payment service may be in beta and are not final.  As a result, the payroll tax electronic filing and payment service may contain errors, “bugs” and other problems which may result in the failure of your Transaction to be filed or paid with the appropriate taxing authority. You  agree that Intuit may contact you in order to assist you with the service and to obtain information needed to determine and fix any error.
Other Services. The use by you of the Payroll Services, including but not limited to, Direct Deposit for the Payroll Services may be subject to your acceptance of separate agreements in addition to the terms of this Agreement. Application forms and information to subscribe to the Direct Deposit services are provided through the Software. You may sign up to use the Direct Deposit option only if you are an active subscriber to the Services.

YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE USE OF THE PAYROLL SERVICES TO ACHIEVE YOUR INTENDED PURPOSES, FOR THE PROPER INSTALLATION AND USE OF THE PAYROLL SERVICE AND FOR VERIFYING THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE PAYROLL SERVICE. IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER DISCLAIMERS IN THIS AGREEMENT, INTUIT AND ITS SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY THAT THE PAYROLL SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE PAYROLL SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE.

(2) QuickBooks Assisted Payroll and Assisted Payroll Plus Service (“Assisted Payroll”). (Not applicable for Software and Trial versions  that do not include access to the QuickBooks Assisted Payroll Service and/or Direct Deposit Option).  In order for you to calculate federal and state payroll taxes, you must have (i) registered the Software, (ii) have Internet access, and (iii) subscribe to the applicable Assisted Payroll service.   You may subscribe to Assisted Payroll through the Software. From time to time you may need to install updates or upgrades (or allow Intuit to install them electronically) or purchase an upgrade version of the Software to continue using Assisted Payroll.  All users in a multi-user environment must be using licensed copies of the same version year of the Software. You are solely responsible and liable for the security of and controlling any access to or use of any form W-2’s viewed and/or saved on your computer. You agree that Intuit is not and shall not be responsible for the accuracy of any form W-2’s.

License Grant and Restrictions. Intuit grants you a limited non-exclusive license to use the tax tables, selected payroll tax forms, when available, and documentation within the United States, provided that you comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You may only use or install updates to Assisted Payroll on the computer(s) used by the individual(s) for whom you have purchased a license to the Software.  

Termination and Amendment. Your rights to the Assisted Payroll service subscription may be terminated by Intuit immediately and without notice if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement.  Intuit shall have the right to change or add to the terms or conditions of Assisted Payroll at any time (provided that it is not Intuit’s intent that such change substantially affect the license rights granted to you and for which consideration was paid by you), and to change the method of delivering or accessing Assisted Payroll and/or the subscription fee and to change, delete, discontinue or impose conditions on any feature or aspect of the Assisted Payroll service.   Assisted Payroll does not include furnishing payroll advice, information regarding local taxes and certain state taxes.  Service availability and additional terms and conditions of Assisted Payroll are provided within the QuickBooks Assisted Payroll Services Agreement.   

You understand that if you subscribe to the Assisted Payroll and/or Do It Yourself Payroll service and you use the service to process payroll  fraudulently, Intuit will share your name and other information we collect with similar payroll processors in an attempt to collect outstanding amounts you owe to Intuit and other payroll processors.


(3)  Upgrades and Updates.  Certain versions of the Payroll Services include automatic future Upgrades (i.e., the most current version of the Software).  If you are entitled to receive an Upgrade, you may be required to accept different software license terms and conditions. 

If your Services subscription expires (for example you cancel or don’t renew your subscription) or terminates (for example if Intuit is unable to debit your Card for the Service), Intuit has the right to withhold the shipment of Upgrades, and even if Intuit ships such Upgrades to you after your subscription has terminated or expired, you are not authorized to install such Upgrades.  In addition, you will no longer be entitled to receive updates. 

(4)  QuickBooks Employee Organizer. (Not applicable for Software and Trial versions  that do not include access to the QuickBooks Employee Organizer). In order for you to access the Employee Organizer, you must (i) have registered the Software, (ii) have Internet access, and (iii) purchased the QuickBooks Employee Organizer (“Employee Organizer”) separately.  You may subscribe to the Employee Organizer through the Software by clicking on the appropriate Employee menu item from within the Software. The Employee Organizer will be enabled after we receive and process all the information requested, including your credit card or bank account information (if Intuit accepts this form of payment for the Employee Organizer). You must have a valid Card or sufficient funds in a U.S. checking or savings account (if Intuit accepts this form of payment for the Employee Organizer) to cover an electronic debit of the fee to purchase the Employee Organizer, except as described below.  The information you provide must be accurate and complete. 

Your initial purchase of the Employee Organizer includes a one-year subscription to the Employee Organizer Employment Regulations Update Service including the “Ask An Employment Question” e-mail inquiry service provided through CCH Incorporated (“Regulations Guide”). When you purchase the Employee Organizer and provide payment information, your Card or bank account (if Intuit accepts this form of payment for the Employee Organizer and/or the Regulations Guide) will be debited and will be automatically re-debited at the beginning of each subsequent one-year term subscription to the Regulations Guide at the then current subscription rate to maintain the Regulations Guide unless you notify us to cancel the Regulations Guide prior to the beginning of the new one-year term. If you cancel your subscription to the Regulations Guide you bear all risk for any inaccuracies, liability or penalties resulting from your use of any outdated information.

License Grant and Restrictions. If and when you (i) purchase the Employee Organizer and (ii) pay the appropriate subscription fee annually, Intuit grants you a limited non-exclusive license to use Regulations Guide within the United States, provided that you comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You may not use the Regulations Guide except with the Software. You may only use or install updates to the Regulations Guide on the computer(s) used by individual(s) for whom you have purchased a license to the Software.  

Termination and Amendment. Your rights to the Regulations Guide subscription may be terminated by Intuit immediately and without notice if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement or if Intuit is unable to debit your Card or your bank account (if Intuit accepts this form of payment for the Employee Organizer and/or the Regulations Guide) in accordance with this Agreement. If you do not renew your subscription to Employee Organizer, and/or Regulations Guide, or cancel your subscription or are terminated from service, you will still be able to  use the Employee Organizer to access the data you have entered with respect to your employees on your currently installed version of the Software.  However, if you install any subsequent updates to the Software, Employee Organizer shall be disabled and the data you have entered with respect to your employees will be rendered inaccessible.  

Intuit shall have the right to  change or add to the terms or conditions of this Agreement (provided that it is not Intuit’s intent that such change substantially affect the license rights granted to you and for which consideration was paid by you), relating to the Employee Organizer, the Regulations Guide, the method of delivering or accessing the Regulations Guide, and the fees for the Employee Organizer and/or the Regulations Guide at any time and to change, delete, discontinue or impose conditions on any feature of aspect of the Employee Organizer and Regulations Guide.  In this event you will receive notice of such change, typically via email or on www.quickbooks.com or such other site designated by Intuit.  The Regulations Guide does not include access to the Internet, nor does it include furnishing of legal advice. The Employee Organizer and the Regulations Guide operate only with a compatible version of the Software; so from time to time you may need to install updates or upgrades (or allow Intuit to install them electronically) or purchase an upgrade version of the Software to continue using the service. All users in a multi-user environment must be using licensed copies of the same version of the Software. Your use of the Employee Organizer and/or the Regulations Guide indicates that you have read this Agreement and agree to its terms.
