4.2. Maximum Limits for Concurrent File Access. When you purchase a Software license, you may be able to use the Software to manage multiple (different) company files. Depending on the edition of the Software, type and number of user licenses you purchase (for example, Software versions or licenses that allow for multiple users or multiple user mode), and subject to your payment of applicable additional or multi-user license fee(s), 2 or more networked users may be able to open, manage, and/or collaborate on the same company file at the same time. As set forth above in Section 4.1., there may be limits to the number of concurrent networked users who may simultaneously access any single company file. Additionally, if you have not acquired sufficient user licenses the Software may not support or allow the opening or managing of different company files simultaneously. You are responsible for all access and use (and for maintaining password protection) of all your company data files.
4.3. Maximum Limits for List Entries. When you purchase a Software license, and depending on the particular Software edition and operating system platform (Windows or Mac), there may be limits to the number of lists, list entries, and custom fields permitted for each list in your company data file based on your version of the Software. See the Software website, or packaging or installation guide for more information. Within the Software, you can also press the F2 key to display certain product information, including the version of QuickBooks Desktop Software you are running, the size and location of your company file, and the number of lists or number of entries you have in your lists.
5. ADDITIONAL LICENSES AND SERVICES AVAILABLE BY SUBSCRIPTION. Additional Subscription licenses and Services that may be obtained in connection with the Software include the following:
5.1. Money Movement Services.
5.1.1. Intuit Payments Inc. Intuit and its subsidiaries and/or affiliates offer add-on services that include payments functionality that you can obtain in connection with your use of the Software (the “Ancillary Payments Services”). The Ancillary Payments Services, defined and described below, are the following additional Subscription licenses and Services that may be obtained in connection with the Software: Payroll for Desktop Service(s); Assisted Payroll Subscription for Desktop; and Direct Deposit Service(s). To the extent that your use of the Ancillary Payments Services involves the transmission of funds, whether in connection with payroll processing, tax payments, payments to vendors, or other similar payments-related services (collectively, “Money Movement Services”) such Money Movement Services are provided to you by Intuit Payments Inc. (“IPI”), a licensed money transmitter. Please note that while the Money Movement Services are provided by IPI, under certain circumstances IPI is not required to provide such services under its money transmission licenses. All references in this Agreement to “Intuit,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or similar terms, shall be understood to mean IPI solely with respect to the provision of Money Movement Services. For payment processing services for merchants, please see Section 6.9 below.
5.1.2. General Conditions for Money Movement Services.
5.1.2.1. The Money Movement Services are available only in the United States (but not the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories and possessions). To be able to use the Money Movement Services, you: must not be domiciled, reside, or have a principal place of business outside the United States; must not be engaged in any illegal activity or any activity reasonably likely to cause notoriety, harm, or damage to the reputation of Intuit, IPI or any banks or other service providers we use to provide the Money Movement Services; must not be listed on any other third party or governmental sanctions lists; and must comply with the Acceptable Use Policy. If you are engaged in any of the prohibited activities, business types, or transactions described in our Acceptable Use Policy, you are not eligible (or may become ineligible) to use the Money Movement Services. In addition, you may not, and may not attempt to use the Money Movement Services to transfer funds to a person, entity, or jurisdiction outside of the United States or in any instance in which such transactions are prohibited by law, nor may you use the Money Movement Services for any funds transfers not part of the Ancillary Payments Services. If there are multiple licensed Software users, you affirm that each user of the Money Movement Services who initiates a payment request is authorized to do so on your behalf.
5.1.2.2. From time to time, IPI may publish additional guidelines, policies, and rules (collectively “IPI Policies”) regarding the Money Movement Services and will provide appropriate notice to you regarding such IPI Policies. Consistent with any such notice provided to you, you understand and agree that your use of the Money Movement Services must be consistent with such IPI Policies, and agree to provide any information we deem necessary to verify your compliance with such IPI Policies.
5.1.2.3. In order to comply with applicable federal laws relating to anti-money laundering and terrorism financing, including the USA PATRIOT Act and the Bank Secrecy Act, IPI may request that you provide information beyond what is required for your use of the Software, including but not limited to: a copy of a government-issued ID (such as a passport or driver’s license); your business license; taxpayer ID number; financial or bank statements; utility bills; or your personal or business tax returns. In addition, you agree and authorize IPI (directly or through third parties) to make any inquiries we consider necessary to verify your or, in the case of an entity, the principals’ and/or owners’, identities, or to determine your current and ongoing creditworthiness, financial status, and/or ability to perform the obligations hereunder. This may include asking you to confirm email address, mobile/phone numbers, or bank accounts, or verifying information you have provided using third-party databases (including by obtaining your individual and business credit report, personal profile, or other information from one or more third-party databases). You consent to IPI updating your account information from time to time based on information provided by you, your bank, other payments services providers, or other data sources used to evaluate the current status of the business and/or its owners.
5.1.2.4. IPI may establish processing limits and assign a maximum dollar amount for Money Movement Services provided to you during any applicable period of time identified by IPI. Consistent with obligations under applicable state money transmission laws and federal anti-money laundering laws, IPI may, in its sole discretion, place holds on any Payments (as defined below) initiated by you in order to protect against potential risk or fraud. Reasons for holds are proprietary to IPI and Intuit and may be based on multiple factors, including, but not limited to: (i) no or limited payments processing history with Intuit; (ii) past performance or standing of your account, including return or dispute rates; or (iii) businesses offering higher risk goods or services. You understand and agree that IPI’s evaluation of risk may result in your ineligibility for some or all Money Movement Services provided in connection with the Ancillary Payments Services, including with respect to the settlement timing for Payments (subject to applicable restrictions under state money transmission laws). IPI also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to review and reject any Payment. If a Payment is cleared after review, we will provide notice to you. Otherwise, we will attempt to cancel the Payment and your funds may be returned. IPI will have no liability for any losses, either direct or indirect, which you may attribute to any hold, review, or other delay or suspension of a Payment.
5.1.2.5. Without limiting the conditions of termination as set forth in Section 14 below, IPI reserves the right, in its sole discretion and with or without notice or cause, to suspend or terminate the provision of Money Movement Services, including without limitation, if: (a) we have reason to believe that fraudulent transactions or other activity prohibited by this Agreement has occurred; (b) such action is necessary to prevent loss to us; or (c) you violate any portion of this Agreement, including the Acceptable Use Policy. Upon termination, your ability to use the Ancillary Payments Services may be limited as we will not be able to facilitate transmissions of funds on your behalf. Any funds that remain in your account for any reason, including your abandonment of your account or your failure to remedy any deficiencies in the information we are required to collect for anti-money laundering purposes, for the applicable time period as mandated or allowed by applicable law may be remitted to your state of residency or otherwise in accordance with unclaimed property laws. We may also unwind transactions or direct funds to specially designated accounts pursuant to anti-money laundering, sanctions or other compliance requirements.
5.1.3. IPI Provision of Money Movement Services.
5.1.3.1. The Ancillary Payments Services provide functionality to enable you to track, calculate, and initiate payroll and other payments to employees, tax payments to taxing authorities, and other payments to employees or third-party vendors. Specific conditions and requirements for each of the Ancillary Payments Services is provided below. This section describes rights, responsibilities, and obligations with respect to the transmission of funds on your behalf in connection with the Money Movement Services.
5.1.3.2. With respect to the Money Movement Services, you are the “Payor” and the person or entity you are seeking to pay (which may be a vendor, taxing authority, or Employee, as defined below) is a “Payee.” As a Payor, an eligible transfer of funds to a Payee that you initiate through any of the Ancillary Payments Services, in accordance with the specific terms set forth below and any instructions provided through the applicable software, constitutes a “Payment.” When you make a valid Payment request, IPI receives funds from you and transmits the funds to the Payee in accordance with your instructions.
5.1.3.3. To use the Money Movement Services and to initiate a Payment, you must have a demand deposit account with an eligible financial institution capable of enabling Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) transactions and such account must be identified when you enable the Ancillary Payments Services (“Your Account”). You can change Your Account in accordance with instructions provided through the Ancillary Payments Services settings. Please note, however, that under certain circumstances IPI reserves the right to use wire drawdown requests or other funding methods (collectively “Debits”) to fund your Payments.
5.1.3.4. You may request that IPI initiate a Payment to a Payee or Payees online (“Payment Transaction(s)”). After you submit your Payment Transaction, IPI will confirm receipt of the Payment request. Your Payment Transaction will not be processed if you do not receive our confirmation before the Payment Transaction is over. However, a confirmation does not mean that your Payment Transaction is error-free, and if errors are detected later we may be unable to complete your Payment Transaction. We will make reasonable efforts to tell you if we cannot complete your Payment Transaction. Payment Transactions taking place after certain processing deadlines may be considered to occur on the next business day. Specific information regarding Payment Transactions for applicable Ancillary Payments Services is provided in the below descriptions of the applicable service.
5.1.3.5. IPI generally processes Payment Transactions using the ACH. Such transactions are governed by the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”). NACHA may amend these NACHA Operating Rules at any time. By initiating a Payment, you authorize IPI to initiate credit and debit entries to Your Account, and to send Payments electronically or by any other commercially accepted method to the Payee or Payees you have designated and pursuant to instructions you provide with your Payment Transaction. You also authorize and direct the depository financial institution that holds Your Account to charge each debit to Your Account for that amount to be credited to IPI, and to respond to inquiries from IPI regarding your information and Your Account. This authorization will remain in full force and effect until IPI has received written notification from you of its termination in such time and in such manner as to afford IPI and the depository financial institution that holds Your Account a reasonable opportunity to act on it. For Payees that will receive disbursements via ACH, you agree to obtain the Payee’s consent to credit their bank account and initiate a disbursement over the ACH network. Such consent must be in a form and manner that complies with the NACHA Operating Rules. You also agree to maintain the security and integrity of all information that you collect and/or provide to IPI that IPI uses to process a Payment Transaction, whether using the ACH or otherwise.
5.2. QuickBooks (Basic, Standard, or Enhanced) Payroll Subscription for Desktop (each and all referred to here as, “Payroll for Desktop Service(s)”)
5.2.1. Subscribing to the Payroll for Desktop Service. To subscribe to a Subscription Plan for a Payroll for Desktop Service and to be able to calculate applicable payroll taxes and make payments, you must: (i) have registered the Software, and (ii) have internet access. If applicable, you may be able to purchase a Subscription for the Payroll for Desktop Service online or by phone, or you may be able to subscribe from within the Software by selecting the appropriate employee menu item, and you will need to activate the Payroll for Desktop Service within the Software using the numerical key provided to you at the time of Subscription purchase. If you subscribe, your use of the Payroll for Desktop Services shall be subject to this Agreement and in accordance with this Section (and to any Subscription Plan terms or other terms and conditions that accompany the Payroll for Desktop Service itself). For purposes of this Agreement, the Payroll for Desktop Service does not include or apply to Software and Trial versions that do not include or offer access to the applicable Payroll for Desktop Service.
5.2.2. License Grant and Restrictions. For license(s) granted to you for use of the Payroll Desktop Services, see Section 3.1.7., above.
5.2.3. Activating the Payroll for Desktop Service. The Subscription for the applicable Payroll for Desktop Service you purchased will begin after it is activated within the Software and after we receive and process all the information requested during sign up, including your credit card or bank account information. Any Subscription for Payroll for Desktop Service purchased at a physical retail store location will begin after you activate the Payroll for Desktop Service Subscription online, which activation must occur no later than 60 days from purchase or the date indicated on the exterior of the Software packaging, whichever is earlier.
5.2.4. Unless You Have Purchased a Software Bundle or Subscription with Payroll Services Already Included, a Separate Payroll for Desktop Service Subscription Is Required for Each Registered Copy of Software. Unless you purchased a desktop Software bundle or Subscription with payroll Services already included (i.e., QuickBooks Desktop Pro + Payroll), then for each registered copy of the Software, you must purchase a separate Payroll for Desktop Service Subscription in order to be able to use the Payroll for Desktop Service with that particular registered copy of the Software. For purposes of the Payroll for Desktop Service Subscription, QuickBooks Desktop Pro, QuickBooks Desktop Premier Multi-user pack, and QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise Solutions Business Management user pack are each 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 Payroll for Desktop Service. For every Payroll for Desktop Service Subscription, Intuit may impose a limit on the number of employer identification numbers (EINs) for or with which you can use the Payroll for Desktop Service and if you exceed this limit, you may be required to pay additional fees.
5.2.5. Payroll Tax Table Updates
5.2.5.1. Updates to payroll tax tables may be provided, when-and-if they are made available by Intuit in its sole discretion, to active subscribers to the Payroll for Desktop Service. We strongly recommend that you connect to your applicable Payroll for Desktop Service regularly to validate your Subscription and to be sure you have the most currently available Payroll for Desktop Service Updates, including the most current rates and calculations for supported tax tables. Failure to connect to your Payroll for Desktop Service regularly may result in inaccurate withholding from payroll and you hereby assume any and all liability resulting from any such inaccurate withholding, or resulting in any way from your failure to regularly connect and update your Payroll for Desktop Service. Also, as a safety measure, and due to the nature and frequency of changes in payroll tax rates, if your Payroll for Desktop Service Subscription expires, you will be unable to continue to process payroll using Payroll for Desktop Service tax tables or tax forms, and if this occurs, you must connect to your Payroll for Desktop Service, bring your Subscription account current if necessary, and get the latest Payroll for Desktop Service Updates in order to again be able to process payroll.
5.2.5.2. The Payroll for Desktop Services may contain dated information. In using the Payroll for Desktop Service, you understand that it may not include all the information or the most current information relevant to your particular needs or situation.
5.2.6. Preparation and Filing (or E-Filing and E-Payment) of Payroll Taxes and Other Liabilities
5.1.6.1. Payroll for Desktop Services may include the option to track certain year-end or other payroll taxes and liabilities to aid your completion of forms, records, slips, or other reports for you to file with relevant governmental taxing and revenue authorities. Depending on your location and/or the version of Software or Payroll for Desktop Service you use, the Payroll for Desktop Services may include capabilities to assist you with the preparation and filing of necessary files, forms, or other documentation, either by providing the means to file materials by electronic transmission (from within the Software directly to the applicable governmental authority), or by providing the means to create a file which can be saved to your local computer desktop for filing by means of online transfer (i.e., manually locating and uploading saved file(s) from your computer desktop to the applicable governmental website via a web browser), as well as the possible option to print checks for your delivery to the applicable taxing authority. You understand, however, that regardless of the features or options available with the Payroll for Desktop Services, you alone are responsible for timely preparation and remittance of all required payroll liabilities and taxes filings, including verifying that any Payroll Transaction (defined below) has been sent, received, and accepted by the relevant taxing authority, and if necessary, you are also responsible for manually delivering any filings and payments to the relevant taxing authority in the event that any online Payroll Transaction is rejected, in order to ensure timely receipt of such filing(s) or payment(s) by the taxing authority before the required due date.
5.2.6.2. To be able to electronically file and pay your payroll taxes and other liabilities, whether by transacting directly or by uploading a file from your computer with or to the applicable governmental taxing and revenue authority website (each and all “Payroll Transaction(s)”) using the Software, you must have an internet connection, a valid license for a compatible, currently supported and registered version of the Software, and an active Subscription to the Enhanced Payroll for Desktop Service. If you are located in a country or region (and if the version of the Software you are using has the capability) and if you choose to electronically file and/or pay your Payroll Transaction by transmitting directly via the Software (and not by manually uploading a file from your computer desktop) to the website of a governmental taxing and revenue authority, the Payroll Transaction will be forwarded to Intuit’s Electronic Filing Center where Intuit will convert it to a standardized format and transmit it to the applicable governmental taxing and revenue authority (the “Electronic Filing Services”). 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 each Payroll Transaction for your records. By using the Electronic Filing Services system to prepare and submit Payroll Transaction filings, you consent to the disclosure to the IRS and any other applicable taxing and revenue authority of all information pertaining to your use of the Electronic Filing Services. Use of the Electronic Filing Services system to prepare and submit Payroll Transactions with applicable governmental taxing authorities is subject to availability. If Intuit tells you that information concerning your Payroll Transactions has changed, you must use this corrected information in the future to initiate Payroll Transactions.
5.2.6.3. If you are located in a country or region (and if the version of the Software you are using has capability) allowing for the filing of Payroll Transactions directly with a governmental taxing and revenue authority, then by using the Electronic Filing Services for Payroll Transactions, you authorize Intuit to send Payroll Transactions, electronically or by any other commercially accepted method, to the applicable financial institution or governmental taxing and revenue authority. You authorize Intuit and its agents (if applicable) to take steps necessary for enrolling you with the appropriate taxing authorities for the purposes of e-filing and e-payment of Payroll Transactions at our discretion. You also authorize and direct the institution which holds Your Account to charge each debit to Your Account(s) and pay that amount to the governmental taxing authority. The authorizations in this Section remain in effect until you notify Intuit the authorization is revoked.
5.2.7. Satisfaction Guarantee. For terms and conditions relating to the Payroll for Desktop Service satisfaction guarantee, see Section 15 below.
5.2.8. Termination and Amendment. For terms and conditions relating to Payroll for Desktop Service or Subscription termination, see Section 5.1.2.5 above and Section 14 below.
5.2.9. Restrictions and Limits for Processing Employee Payroll
5.2.9.1. Certain Payroll for Desktop Service Subscription Plans may have restrictions on the number of Employees for whom payroll can be processed. When you purchase an Employee-limited Payroll for Desktop Service or Subscription, you may only be allowed to process payroll up to a certain number of Employees and you may be required to choose a higher Payroll for Desktop Service level or pay an additional fee if you wish to process payroll for more or additional Employees. If you wish to process payroll for fewer Employees, you must choose a lower Payroll for Desktop Service level. Other Payroll for Desktop Services or Subscription Plans may be subject to a per-Employee pricing model, and you may have to pay additional fees for each Employee you add. The term, “Employees,” as used in this Section, refers to all employees and contractors paid on the computer(s) used by the individual(s) for whom a Software license was purchased. We may collect and make use of information about how many Employees you pay and may suggest or recommend an alternate Payroll for Desktop Service level for you based on that information.
5.2.9.2. If you subscribed to a paid Basic or Enhanced Payroll for Desktop Service Subscription Plan under a pricing option which charges a per Employee fee at the end of each month, you are required to connect to your Payroll for Desktop Service at least once every 30 days to allow Intuit to send your payroll data to the Intuit online servers for purposes of calculating your per Employee fee.
5.3. Assisted Payroll Subscription for Desktop (“Assisted Payroll for Desktop Service(s)”)
5.3.1. Using Assisted Payroll for Desktop Services. To be able to subscribe to Assisted Payroll for Desktop Services and in order for you to calculate federal and state payroll taxes and make payments, you must have an internet connection and a valid license for a compatible, currently supported, and registered version of the Software. You may subscribe to Assisted Payroll for Desktop Services through the Software. You are solely responsible and liable for the security, and for controlling any access to or use, of any forms W-2 viewed and/or saved on your computer. You agree that Intuit is not and shall not be responsible for the accuracy of any forms W-2. For purposes of this Agreement, the Assisted Payroll for Desktop Service does not include or apply to Software and Trial versions that do not include access to the Assisted Payroll for Desktop Service.
5.3.2. License Grant and Restrictions. For license(s) granted to you for use of the Assisted Payroll Desktop Services, see Section 3.1.8., above.
5.3.3. Satisfaction Guarantee. For terms and conditions relating to Assisted Payroll for Desktop Service satisfaction guarantee, see Section 15 below.
5.3.4. Termination and Amendment. For terms and conditions relating to Assisted Payroll for Desktop Service termination, see Section 5.1.2.5 above and Section 14 below.

Forms and information to apply and/or subscribe to the Direct Deposit Services are provided through the Software. The Direct Deposit Service will begin after it is activated within the Software and after we receive and process all the information requested during sign up, including any credit card or bank account information. Information you provide PI must be accurate and complete or direct deposits may not be made, and we will be unable to perform the Direct Deposit Service for you. For purposes of this Agreement, the Direct Deposit Service does not include or apply to Software and Trial versions that do not include access to the Direct Deposit Service.
5.4.2. Use and Restrictions
5.4.2.1. You may use the Direct Deposit Service only for direct deposit payments to your employees or vendors (including 1099 vendors, additional fees may apply) for payroll or ancillary Money Movement Services, such as expense reimbursement. You may make such Payments by initiating electronic withdrawals within the Software from Your Account. You may identify other financial institutions in the future to fund the direct deposit payments to your Payees. Under certain circumstances Intuit may use Debits to fund your direct deposits. Debits will also be initiated to pay fees for the Direct Deposit Service and any adjustments to those fees.
5.4.2.2. Optional special processing requests may be available as part of the Direct Deposit Service for an additional charge. Special processing fees may apply to some Payments Transactions.
5.4.3. Payor Responsibilities. You must send your Payment Transaction prior to the applicable processing lead time stated within the Direct Deposit Service or your Payment Transaction may not be processed. Typically, Payments must be submitted at least 2 business days before the due date, although standard submission timing can be 5 business days in advance. We reserve the right to change these applicable processing lead times from time to time, and you should refer to the lead times stated within the Direct Deposit Service for the most up to date information. Debits will be charged to Your Account one business banking day before the pay date of the applicable Payment and you must have sufficient funds in Your Account to fulfill your Transaction on that date. After that, no interest or earnings will accrue to you and IP will hold the money until the Payments are made. Once your Payments are complete and submitted you may recall and resubmit them until we send them through the ACH. You are solely responsible for verifying that all Payments have been received and are accurate. You must keep any payroll, vendor, tax or other records you need for reference, even though we may have information about the Payments in our files.
5.4.4. Authorization and Agreement for Direct Payments (ACH debits). You acknowledge and agree that (i) most Payment Transactions will go through the ACH; (ii) your Payment Transactions will be governed by the NACHA Operating Rules; and (iii) the origination of ACH transactions to Your Account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law. You must indemnify and defend IPI and Intuit against any claims or lawsuits, including attorneys’ fees that arise from or result from your Payment Transactions. If we tell you that an account number or other information concerning your Payment Transactions has changed, you must use this corrected information to initiate future Payment Transactions. You authorize IPI to initiate debit entries to Your Account and to debit the same to such account, and to send Payment Transactions electronically or by any other commercially accepted method to Your Account. You authorize and direct the depository financial institution that holds Your Account to charge each debit to Your Account and pay that amount to IPI, and to respond to inquiries from IPI regarding your information and Your Account. This authorization will remain in full force and effect until IPI has received written notification from you of its termination in such time and in such manner as to afford Intuit and the depository financial institution that holds Your Account a reasonable opportunity to act on it.
5.4.5. Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant to us that (i) each person or entity to whom you send Payments has authorized the Payments and any necessary adjustments to be applied to his, her or its account; (ii) at the time any Payment is made you have no actual knowledge that the authorization has been revoked or terminated; (iii) your Payments comply with the laws that apply to them; (iv) that you have authorization to make withdrawals to Your Account; and (v) that all the information you provided to enter into the Agreement is true and correct.
5.4.6. Password Security. You create a user ID and/or password to initiate Payment Transactions. You are the only person authorized to use your user ID and/or password and for maintaining the confidentiality of your user ID and/or password. You shall not permit or allow other persons to have access to or use your user ID and/or password, except if you choose to share your user ID and/or password with your agents. You are responsible for the use of the Software and Direct Deposit Service under your user ID and/or password. You authorize and direct IPI and all impacted financial institutions to carry out all Payment Transactions initiated with your user ID and/or password. If your password is compromised, you must change your password and notify Intuit immediately to prevent unauthorized use of your account.
5.4.7. Your Account. We may refuse to process your Payment Transaction if it reasonably believes that Your Account balance is insufficient to cover the dollar amount of the Payment Transaction or for any other reason we deem reasonable. If any amount debited against you is dishonored or returned for any reason, such as, but not limited to, non-sufficient funds, account closed, inability to locate account, or reversal by you and/or your bank, we may: (i) reverse any corresponding credit issued to us, you, your Payees or any other party without liability to you or any other party; (ii) reverse direct deposit transactions; (iii) refuse to perform further Services; (iv) apply any money currently held by IPI to any amount owed to us by you; (v) charge you a one-time insufficient funds penalty fee; (vi) report this information to any and all credit agencies and/or financial institutions; and/or (vii) immediately terminate this Agreement. We may assess and collect interest on any amounts due and unpaid 10 days after demand. If further collection attempts are required, all of our collections costs, including any costs associated with termination of this Agreement and including but not limited to, attorney fees, where permitted by law, will be charged to you. This section shall, to the extent applicable, survive the termination of this Agreement.
5.4.8. General. If applicable, any sales, use or other taxes payable on the Direct Deposit Service that we must pay will be collected in the same way your fees are paid. If you (i) default in the payment of any sum of money hereunder; (ii) default in the performance of any other obligations under this Agreement; or (iii) commit an act of Bankruptcy or become the subject of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Act or become insolvent, or if any substantial portion of your property becomes subject to levy, seizure, assignment, application for sale for or by any creditor or governmental agency, then Intuit may, at its option and upon written notice thereof (x) terminate the Agreement; (y) declare all amounts owed immediately due and payable; and/or (z) require you to deposit an amount equal to its average future monthly or annual processing charges to prepay for any future processing.
5.4.9. Termination and Amendment. For terms and conditions relating to Direct Deposit Service termination, see Section 5.1.2.5 above and Section 14 below.

You understand that once you use the Beta Features, you may be unable to revert back to the earlier non-beta version of the same or similar feature. Additionally, if such reversion is possible, you may not be able to return or restore data created within the Beta Feature back to the earlier non-beta version. The Beta Features are provided on an “as is” basis and may contain errors or inaccuracies that could cause failures, corruption or loss of data and/or information from any connected device. You acknowledge and agree that all use of the Beta Features is at your sole risk. Beta Features may not be available to all users, or with or in all software editions or countries.
6.4. Custom Form Designs. If you obtain any images from Intuit to be used as background imagery for forms in the Software forms customization feature (additional fees may apply), you understand and agree that such designs may only be used with your QuickBooks forms. For example, you are authorized to use these images on QuickBooks forms that you print or email. You may also order matching business cards and other promotional print items that Intuit offers. You may also customize QuickBooks forms with these images on behalf of your clients who use QuickBooks. However, you may not resell these images or use them for any other purposes, including use on third party generated materials such as forms, web-based materials, or other custom printed business identity products.

You may have the option to acquire or use Applications and to authorize use of certain Data Transfer features, including via the Software, for which additional fees may apply.

Neither Updates nor Enhancements include future Upgrades to the Software. Upgrades are only offered on a when-and-if available basis and only to active subscribers under certain qualifying Subscriptions. If you are entitled to receive an Upgrade under an active qualifying Subscription, you may be required to accept different or additional software license terms and conditions as provided.
