Your use of Payroll Services: (a) is governed by the latest version of the terms and conditions for Payroll Services, and (b) constitutes your acceptance of those terms and conditions. You acknowledge and agree that Intuit cannot represent you in tax matters or, except as authorized by Section 10.3, file and pay taxes on your behalf.

(iii)         You are responsible for payment of all fees and amounts: (a) due for each Payroll Service subscription, or (b) payable to any 3rd party on your behalf as agreed by a Payroll Service subscription, including those arising from or related to Additional Client Users subscriptions. You may have the option of causing an Additional Client User to be liable for any fees and amounts payable, if you: (x) give the Additional Client User access to the Payroll Service, and (y) require the Additional Client User to sign into the Payroll Service subscription, create a username and password, and agree to this Agreement. Intuit will have no responsibility for requesting that any Additional Client User sign into the Service or agree to this Agreement.

This Section will, to the extent applicable, survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)      Authorization and Agreement for Direct Payments (PADs).

(i)           You acknowledge and agree that: (a) most Payroll Service Payments, as defined below, will go through Payments Canada (“PC”), (b) all Payroll Service Payments are governed by the PC Rules, and (c) your PC transactions will comply with applicable Canada law. You agree to hold harmless, indemnify, and defend Intuit and the bank in connection with all of your PC transactions, including legal fees and disbursements on a solicitor and own client basis, including without limitation, claims resulting from incorrect information being supplied by you.

(ii)          By using the Payroll Service, you authorize us to initiate electronic withdrawals from your bank account to fund Direct Deposits and/or Payroll Tax Payments, as applicable, (each term defined separately below and referred to collectively as “Payroll Service Payments”), although under certain circumstances we may use wire drawdown requests or other funding methods (“Debits”). Debits will also be initiated to pay fees for Payroll Services, special processing, any sales, use or other taxes payable on Payroll Services, and for adjustments to these various amounts. In furtherance of this, you hereby authorize Intuit and our sponsor banks to draw preauthorized Debits (PADs) on Your Account for the purpose of allowing Intuit to (i) make all Payments in the amounts submitted for your payroll direct deposits on each payroll processing date and submission of Payment information by you shall constitute Intuit’s authority to Debit Your Account for the Payments on the applicable processing date; and (ii) receive payment of all amounts due and owing to Intuit by you for the Payroll Services, including NSF fees, reversal fees and special processing fees and other fees in respect of the Payroll Services at the times and in the amounts as set out in this Agreement; and (iii) at each Payroll Renewal Term, receive payment of the then-current subscription rate to maintain the Payroll Service. This authorization will remain in full force and effect until Intuit 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. In no event shall Intuit be liable to you for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure of a financial institution to process properly, or on a timely basis, information provided by Intuit and you agree that Intuit shall not incur any liability for any loss, costs, or fees incurred by you that are the result of such Debits by us. You agree that if any Debits drawn under this Authorization are dishonored for any reason, then Intuit shall be entitled to initiate another debit in substitution for the dishonored debit until the debit is honored and to initiate a separate debit to cover any NSF fee or dishonored payment fees. This Authorization is to remain in effect until Intuit has received written confirmation from you of its change or termination. You confirm that the Debits authorized pursuant to this Authorization are for business purposes. This Authorization can be cancelled at any time upon notice provided by you. You acknowledge that in order to revoke this Authorization, you must provide Intuit written notification at Intuit Canada ULC, attn.: QBO Payroll Care, 5100 Spectrum Way, Mississauga ON, L4W 5S2, Canada at least twenty (20) business days before the next debit is scheduled; however, you remain obligated to pay Intuit all amounts due and owing under this Agreement. To obtain a sample cancellation form, or for more information on the right to cancel this Authorization, you may contact your financial institution or visit www.cdnpay.ca. You have certain recourse rights if any debit does not comply with this Authorization. For example, you have the right to receive reimbursement for any debit that is not authorized or is not consistent with this Authorization. To obtain more information on recourse rights, you may contact your financial institution or visit www.cdnpay.ca. You acknowledge that you understand the terms hereof and accept and agree to participate in this Authorization arrangement with Intuit. You acknowledge that Intuit may assign this Authorization, whether directly or indirectly, including by operation of law, by providing at least 10 days prior written notice to you. You hereby waive the right to receive any notice, written or otherwise from Intuit of the amount to be debited to Your Account and the date(s) on which such debits are to be processed, as well as notice of any and all future changes to amounts or payment dates.

(iii)         You authorize and direct the institution that holds the demand deposit account used in conjunction with Payroll Services or any other account you identify when using the Payroll Services in the future (“Your Account”) to: (a) charge each Payment Service Payment and/or Debit to Your Account and pay that amount to us, and (b) respond to our inquiries regarding Your Account. You agree that Your Account is a demand deposit account located in Canada, and that all Payroll Service Payments will be to accounts located in Canada. You agree that you will not use the Payroll Service to make any transactions that require International ACH Transaction reporting.

(iv)         Bank Verification. Prior to processing any Payroll Service Payment, we may verify Your Account information. The verification process may include sending you texts, voice calls, or automated/pre-recorded voice calls. If you provided your mobile phone number to us, you agree we may send such communications to that number. You agree that as part of the verification process we may: (i) verify Your Account information by debiting between $0.01 and $1.00 from Your Account, then crediting the same amount back to Your Account, and requesting you to verify the amount debited and credited, and/or (ii) verify Your Account using your login credentials to your financial institution and we may also ask you questions pertaining to your bank balance and/ or recent credit/ debit transactions. You agree to input your login credentials through an online portal provided by Intuit as part of this verification process. Failure to successfully verify the micro debits and/or credits and/or log in to your bank or financial institution within the time specified by Intuit will result in the inability to process Payroll Service Payments. Intuit will only use this verification process to screen for fraud and will not otherwise debit Your Account, except for your use of Payroll Services. You hereby grant Intuit a limited power of attorney to initiate the actions in this Section as part of the bank verification process.

(v)          You authorize us to: (a) initiate transactions with Your Account to collect Payroll Service Payments and/or pay any fees related to Payroll Services, (b) reinitiate, or initiate a new Debit to your bank account if any Debit is returned for insufficient funds or uncollected funds, (c) credit Your Account when necessary, at our sole discretion, for any refund or credit amount due to you, and/or (d) to send Payroll Service Payments, electronically or by any other commercially accepted method, to the appropriate financial institution(s) or taxing authority. If Intuit tells you that an account number or other information concerning your Payroll Service Payments has changed, you must use this corrected information in the future to initiate Payroll Service Payments.

(vi)         We may: (a) establish security limits on Payroll Service Payments, such as a maximum number or dollar amount, (b) change security limits from time to time without disclosing such changes, and (c) refuse to process your Payroll Service Payments if we reasonably believe Your Account balance is insufficient to cover the amounts due or for any other reason we deem reasonable.

(vii)        This PAD authorization will remain in full force and effect until we receive your written notification of termination in such time and manner as to afford Intuit and the depository financial institution that holds Your Account a reasonable opportunity to act on your termination notice.

(viii)       If any amount payable by 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 financial institution, Intuit may: (a) reverse any corresponding credit issued to Intuit, you, your employees or any other party without liability to you or any other party, (b) reverse Direct Deposits, (c) refuse to perform further Payroll Services, (d) apply any money currently held by Intuit to any amount owed to Intuit by you, (e) charge you a one-time insufficient funds fee for each occurrence, (f) report this information to any and all credit agencies and/or financial institutions, and/or (g) immediately terminate this Agreement. Intuit may assess and collect interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (18% per annum) on any amounts owing and unpaid ten (10) days after demand. If further collection attempts are required, all collections costs will be charged to you, including but not limited to any costs associated with termination of this Agreement, and legal fees and disbursements on a solicitor and own client basis, where permitted by law.

(c)      Electronic Signatures. As part of Payroll Services, we may require you to provide your electronic signature to certain forms or documents required by Intuit or provincial/federal agencies. Required forms vary depending on your subscription, business, and/or location. Your signature on these forms is required to use Payroll Services. By using Payroll Services, you acknowledge that you have read the content of the forms, and hereby authorize us to apply your electronic signature or a rendition of your signature to all required forms. Copies of signed forms will be provided to you. Your signature will be effective as of the date of your acceptance of these terms authorizing application of your signature to all specified form(s). If you revoke your permission for us to use your electronic signature, the Service will terminate.

(d)      Credit Review. Periodically Intuit may review your use of Payroll Services, your credit status, credit or similar reports on your business and its principals, or other factors, including submitting your information to third parties such as your financial institution, credit reporting agencies and/or other agencies to validate your identity and/or credit history. Intuit may terminate your use of Payroll Services after such a review.

(e)      Default. 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 and Insolvency Act (Canada) 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, in any such event, Intuit, at its option, may, upon written notice thereof, (a) terminate the Agreement, (b) declare all amounts due as immediately due and payable, and/or (c) require you to deposit with Intuit an amount equal to the 12 month average monthly or annual processing charges to prepay for any future processing.

(f)       No Liability. Intuit will not be liable for any penalty, interest or other liability that results from inaccurate or incomplete information you supply. In the event that Intuit becomes aware of any tax agency information that is inaccurate, Intuit reserves the right to input the correct information. Intuit will not be liable in any way if Payroll Services cannot be performed completely or accurately because of anything not reasonably within our control, including problems with the Internet or inaccurate or incomplete information you provide to us. If any Intuit error occurs in performing Payroll Services, our only responsibility will be to make the correct payment or file the correct report and pay any resulting tax interest or penalty. In no event will we be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages. If these remedies fail of their essential purpose, Intuit’s maximum liability will equal the fees you have paid to Intuit for the applicable Service subscription.

10.3. Direct Deposit. In order to access the Direct Deposit service you must have a current subscription to a Payroll Service subscription offering Direct Deposit services. “Direct Deposit” is defined as the deposit of money by you into a payroll payee's bank account.

(a)      Activation. Direct Deposit services will begin after Intuit receives and processes any information we request as part of your enrollment, including any credit, debit or banking information. The information you provide must be accurate and complete, to begin performing Payroll Services for you.

(b)      Use and Restrictions.  

(i)           You may send us requests to process and send payments to your employees for their work during an applicable work period (“Payroll Payments”). When you request Payroll Payments you will receive confirmation when the request is received. However, we do not verify your payroll information including but not limited to time entries, pay rates, or employee banking details, and a confirmation does not mean that your submission of Payroll Payments were error-free. If errors are detected later we may be unable to complete the submission of your Payroll Payments. We will make reasonable efforts to tell you if we cannot complete your Payroll Payments. Payroll Payments taking place after certain processing deadlines may be considered to occur on the next business banking day. Special processing fees may apply to some Payroll Payments, and optional special processing requests may be available as part of the Direct Deposit service for an additional charge.

(ii)          Direct Deposit service does not include: (a) furnishing paychecks or notice of deductions or direct deposit to employees, or (b) processing of non-tax-related withholdings, including but not limited to: wage garnishments, retirement account contributions, or insurance premiums.

(iii)         For certain jurisdictions, the Service may not: (a) include processing of local taxes or taxes not deducted as part of payroll, or (b) be available to employers with employees in certain provinces.

(iv)         There may be restrictions on the number of employees for whom payroll can be processed.

(c)      User Responsibilities. Debits will be charged to Your Account up to five (5) business banking days before the pay date of the applicable payroll and you must have sufficient funds in Your Account to fulfill your Payroll Payments on that date. After that, no interest or earnings will accrue to you and Intuit will hold the money until the Payroll Payments are made. Once your Payroll Payments are complete and submitted you may cancel them until we send them to the PC network. You are responsible for verifying that all Payroll Payments have been received and are accurate. You must keep any payroll, tax or other records you need for reference, even though we may have information about the Payroll Payments in our files.

(d)      Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant to Intuit that: (i) you have received authorization from each person or entity to allow you to make Payroll Payments and/or any necessary adjustments to their account(s), as appropriate, (ii) at the time any Payroll Payment is made you have no knowledge that the authorization has been revoked or terminated, and (iii) your Payroll Payments comply with applicable laws. In case of any reversing entry for a pay cheque direct deposit, you will obtain a PAD Authorization from the affected person before the entry is sent and provide proof of that PAD Authorization to Intuit if requested. You are responsible for maintaining employee authorizations, record retention, and any additional rules specified by the PC.

10.4. Limited Power of Attorney. You hereby grant Intuit a limited power of attorney to initiate any reasonably necessary actions on your behalf, as described in this Section 10, in order to provide you with the Direct Deposit services.

10.5. Service Providers. You acknowledge that Intuit outsources various services it provides in connection with the Payroll Services to affiliates and other service providers located outside of Canada. As such, you acknowledge that personal information (including personal information in respect of employees) may be processed outside of Canada and accordingly, subject to the legal requirements applicable in such foreign jurisdictions, for example, legal requirements to disclose information to government authorities in those jurisdictions and as such, the privacy protections applicable to personal information may not be the same as those available in Canada. In addition, you acknowledge that Intuit’s ability to offer the Payroll Services as provided in this Agreement will depend upon the ability of Intuit’s affiliates and service providers to perform services for Intuit which will, in turn, be subject to the laws of the foreign jurisdictions where those affiliates or service providers are located. You agree that in the event a service provider or affiliate cannot or will not provide any of the supporting services to Intuit by reason that the service provider or affiliate would, by doing so, be in violation of any law, rule or regulation applicable to it if it provides such a service (a “Critical Event”), Intuit will have no liability to you from any resulting consequences of a Critical Event including, without limitation, termination or disruption in the Payroll Services.

11. PRO TAX SERVICES. If you elect to enroll with Pro Tax Services, the following additional terms apply.

11. 1 Access.

(a)  Intuit hereby grants you access to use the Pro Tax Services solely to prepare valid tax return(s) for which you have a valid subscription to QBOA and Pro Tax Services to file electronically and/or to download such tax return(s). All proprietary rights in the Pro Tax Services and legal title thereto shall remain in Intuit or its licensors.

Additionally, Intuit reserves the right at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, to suspend and/or terminate your use of any Intuit Pro Tax Services if you are delinquent in the payment of any charges owed to Intuit, including, without limitation, checks returned to Intuit for insufficient funds and denied credit or charge card amounts.

11.3 Electronic Filing Services and Product Support.

(a)   Electronic Filing Services. When available, you may be able to choose to file returns electronically and if chosen, the tax returns will be transmitted electronically to the Intuit Electronic Filing Center, where they will be transmitted to the applicable taxing authority. Intuit will retain any records required by law. Intuit cannot guarantee that the taxing authority will accept a return due to circumstances beyond Intuit’s control (e.g., incorrect user information, malfunction of the tax authority’s system, etc.). You are responsible for verifying the status of returns that you file electronically to confirm that they have been received and accepted by the applicable taxing authority and, if necessary, for filing them manually. By using Intuit's system to prepare and submit tax returns, you consent to the disclosure by Intuit to the CRA and any other tax or revenue authority of all information pertaining to your use of the Pro Tax Services. Intuit reserves the right at any time to require users of the Electronic Filing Service to provide information verifying that they are Authorized CRA e-file Providers using a valid CRA issued BN. If you are unable or unwilling to provide information or documentation to verify your validly issued Authorized CRA e-file Provider or BN status in a form acceptable to Intuit, or if Intuit is unable to verify or validate your status, Intuit may block your access or ability to use the Pro Tax Services or your

ability to prepare, submit, process or transmit returns through the Pro Tax Services. Intuit may at any time and in its sole discretion change or discontinue any aspect, availability or feature of the Services. Year round and multi-year e-file is only supported if you are a current customer. Electronic filing in subsequent years will require a separate end user license agreement and payment of the then-current fee. The CRA requires Intuit to notify it, in connection with the electronic filing of your tax return, of the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of the computer from which the return originated and whether the email address of the person electronically filing the return has been collected. By using this Service to prepare and submit your tax return, you consent to the disclosure to the CRA and any other tax or revenue authority of all information relating to your use of the Electronic Filing Services.

(b)   Product Support. Intuit may offer, in its sole discretion, product support for the Pro Tax Services using a variety of methods (e.g. remote, Internet, and phone) either at no charge to you, as determined by Intuit in its sole discretion, or at Intuit's then current rates, which rates ay be changed from time to time by Intuit without notice. Intuit may

modify or discontinue offering Product Support at any time, in its sole discretion. Any Product Support offered by Intuit shall not constitute a continuing obligation to provide Product Support. Product Support, if offered, is subject to Intuit’s discontinuation policy. Additionally, you (and not Intuit) are responsible for providing any support to your clients in connection with their use of connected and online services.
