4.2. Maximum Limits for Concurrent File Access. When you purchase a Software licence, 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 licences you purchase (for example, Software versions or licences that allow for multiple users or multiple user mode), and subject to your payment of applicable additional or multi-user licence 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 licences 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 licence, 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 LICENCES AND SERVICES AVAILABLE BY SUBSCRIPTION. Additional Subscription licences and Services that may be obtained in connection with the Software include the following:
5.1. QuickBooks (Basic, Standard, or Enhanced) Payroll Subscription for Desktop (each and all referred to here as, "Payroll for Desktop Service(s)")
5.1.1. 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, 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.
5.1.2. Licence Grant and Restrictions. For licence(s) granted to you for use of the Payroll Desktop Services, see Section 3.1.7., above.
5.1.3. 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.
5.1.4. 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.
5.1.5. Payroll Tax Table Updates
5.1.5.1. 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.
5.1.5.2. 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.
5.1.6. 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.
5.1.6.2. 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 licence 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. Some Payroll Transactions may go through the Automated Clearing House (ACH), and you agree that your Payroll 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 Payroll Transactions.
5.1.6.3. 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 demand deposit account, identified when you sign up, or any other account you identify when using the Enhanced Payroll for Desktop Service in the future ("Your Account(s)"), 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.
5.1.7. Satisfaction Guarantee. For terms and conditions relating to the Payroll for Desktop Service satisfaction guarantee, see Section 15 below.
5.1.8. Termination and Amendment. For terms and conditions relating to Payroll for Desktop Service or Subscription termination, see Section 14 below.
5.1.9. Restrictions and Limits for Processing Employee Payroll
5.1.9.1. 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 paid on the computer(s) used by the individual(s) for whom a Software licence 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.
5.1.9.2. 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.
5.2. Assisted Payroll Subscription for Desktop ("Assisted Payroll for Desktop Service(s)")
5.2.1. 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, you must have an internet connection and a valid licence 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.
5.2.2. Licence Grant and Restrictions. For licence(s) granted to you for use of the Assisted Payroll Desktop Services, see Section 3.1.8., above.
5.2.3. Satisfaction Guarantee. For terms and conditions relating to Assisted Payroll for Desktop Service satisfaction guarantee, see Section 15 below.
5.2.4. Termination and Amendment. For terms and conditions relating to Assisted Payroll for Desktop Service termination, see Section 14 below. Service availability and additional terms and conditions of Assisted Payroll are provided within the QuickBooks Assisted Payroll for Desktop Services agreement.
5.3. Direct Deposit (“Direct Deposit Service(s)”)
5.3.1. Activating the Direct Deposit Service. In order for you to access, sign up, and activate the Direct Deposit Service option you must have an internet connection and a valid (i) licence for a compatible and currently supported version of the Software; (ii) active Subscription for Payroll for Desktop Services; (iii) EIN; and (iv) banking account capable of processing Automated Clearing House or ACH transactions. 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. Processing your information may include submitting your sign up information to third parties such as your bank, credit reporting agencies, and/or other agencies Intuit may use to validate your identity and/or credit history. We may also receive and review credit or similar reports on your business and its principals provided by such third parties. Therefore the information you provide Intuit 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.
5.3.2. Use and Restrictions
5.3.2.1. You may use the Direct Deposit Service only for direct deposit payments to your employees for payroll purposes or to your vendors (including 1099 vendors, additional fees may apply) (collectively, the “Payees”). You may fund your direct deposit payments to your Payees ("Payments") by initiating electronic withdrawals within the Software from the demand deposit account of the financial institution you identified on the sign up form ("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 wire draw down requests or other funding methods (collectively "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. You will send Payments over the internet in an online session ("Payment Transaction(s)"). At the end of your Payment Transaction, we will confirm that we have received it. Your Payment Transaction will not be processed if you do not receive our confirmation before the Payments 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.
5.3.2.2. 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. We may establish certain security limits on Payment Transactions we process, such as a maximum number or dollar amount of Payment Transactions. We may change these limits from time to time and may choose not to disclose them.
5.3.3. Licencee Responsibilities. You must send us 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 two business banking days before the due date. Intuit reserves 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 Intuit 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 to the Automated Clearing House or ACH network. 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.
5.3.4. Authorization and Agreement for Direct Payments (ACH debits). You acknowledge and agree that (i) most Payment Transactions will go through the Automated Clearing House or ACH; (ii) your Payment Transactions will be governed by the ACH 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 Intuit against any claims or lawsuits, including attorneys' fees that arise from or result from your Payment Transactions. If Intuit tells 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 Intuit 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 Intuit, and to respond to inquiries from Intuit regarding your information and Your Account. 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.
5.3.5. Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant to Intuit 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.
5.3.6. Password Security. You create or ask Intuit to issue 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 Intuit 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.
5.3.7. Your Account. Intuit 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 Intuit deems 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, Intuit may: (i) reverse any corresponding credit issued to Intuit, 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 Intuit to any amount owed to Intuit 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. Intuit may assess and collect interest on any amounts due and unpaid 10 days after demand. If further collection attempts are required, all Intuit's 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.
5.3.8. 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. Intuit may review your use of the Direct Deposit Service, your credit status or other factors periodically, including submitting your information to third parties such as your bank, credit reporting agencies and/or other agencies used to validate your identity and/or credit history, and/or reviewing credit or similar reports on your business and its principals provided by these third parties. Intuit may terminate your participation in the Direct Deposit Service after such a review. 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.
5.3.9. Termination and Amendment. For terms and conditions relating to Direct Deposit Service termination, see Section 14, below.
6. OTHER SERVICES, TOOLS, AND FEATURES
6.1. Other Intuit Offerings.

From time to time, Intuit in its sole discretion, may extend (or otherwise include in or with the Software) the opportunity for you to use or try new or updated Beta Features and to provide feedback (fees may apply). You understand and agree that your use of the Beta Features is voluntary and Intuit is not obligated to provide you with any Beta Features. 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.

Intuit Applications which may be made available to you are subject to the terms and conditions that accompany that Intuit Application.

Intuit may use (and provide to third parties) a service for Data Transfer in order to, among other things, facilitate certain interoperability, data integration, and data access between the Software and the applicable Application. By signing up or by using any Third Party Application, you agree that: (i) the Third Party Application provider may have access to and use your applicable Software data to provide to you the particular Third Party Application or related Services per the Third Party Application terms and conditions; and (ii) the Third Party Application provider may transfer your data from the Third Party Application to Intuit for Intuit’s use per the terms of this Agreement.

6.7.1. General. In connection with your use of the Software and as part of the functionality of certain versions of the Software, you may have access to certain online Services that may be made available by your financial institution (“FI Services”), including online banking, online payment, online investment account download, online bill pay, and online trading. The Software is designed to allow you to access participating FI Services (if and to the extent provided by your financial institutions) to set up banking information and allow the Software to access your account(s) and download transactions into the Software. You acknowledge and agree that Intuit (i) has no control over the FI Services or access to the FI Services as may be permitted by your financial institution(s); (ii) does not guarantee that you will be able to use the Software with the FI Services; and (iii) will have no liability whatsoever for any actions or inactions on the part of the financial institutions resulting in your inability to use the Software to access your accounts, obtain data, download transactions, or otherwise use or access the FI Services.
6.7.2. Collection of Financial Institution Account Data. You acknowledge that in accessing any FI Services through the Software, your financial institution account access number(s), password(s), security question(s) and answer(s), account number(s), login information, and any other security or access information, and the actual data in your account(s) with such financial institution(s) such as bank balances, credit card charges, debits and deposits (collectively, “FI Account Data”), may be collected and stored in the Software depending upon your financial institution and type of account. You authorize Intuit, in conjunction with Intuit’s operation of the Software for purposes of the Fi Services, to (i) collect your FI Account Data; (ii) reformat and manipulate such FI Account Data; (iii) create and provide hypertext links to your financial institutions; (iv) access the financial institutions’ websites using your FI Account Data; and (v) take such other actions as are reasonably necessary to perform the actions described in (i) through (iv) in order for you to access the FI Services.

6.7.3. Information from Financial Institutions’ Websites. You acknowledge and agree that (i) some financial institutions may not allow the Software to access the FI Services; (ii) financial institutions may make changes to their websites, with or without notice to us, that may affect overall performance of the FI Services and prevent or delay the FI Services from such websites; and (iii) the Software refreshes the Software account data by collecting the FI Account Data automatically or manually (depending on your financial institution or any changes by you that may require updating), so your most recent transactions may not always be reflected in any account balances or other account information presented to you in the Software. If you see a discrepancy in the Software account data, and in any case before making any transactions or decisions based on such account information presented in the Software, you should check the last refresh date for the account and confirm the FI Account Data and manually updating such data as necessary.
6.8. Social Media Sites. As described above in Section A.5.2, the Software may provide social features or opportunities for experiences on social platforms such as Facebook®, Twitter®, and LinkedIn® that enable or facilitate online sharing and collaboration or the ability to exchange content, materials, and information amongst users of that social platform and the public. Any content or materials you post, such as pictures, information, opinions, or any personal information that you make available to other participants on these social platforms, is subject to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policies of those platforms. Please refer to those social media platforms to better understand your rights and obligations with regard to such content.

If you choose from within the Software to apply for and use Intuit payment products, you understand and agree to the most current versions of the Intuit payment products’ terms of service.

Updates may sometimes include bug fixes or other important or critical patches. You are required to install all Updates promptly in order to ensure full functionality of the QuickBooks Desktop software and we recommend that you turn on ‘auto update’ to help ensure timely receipt of all such Updates. Additionally, certain Updates may require you to Uninstall and re-Install the QuickBooks Desktop software to continue your eligibility to receive all future updates, including critical updates.

Updates and Enhancements do not include future Upgrades to the Software. Intuit's obligations to you under this Section are contingent upon you installing all Updates within 30 days after release or upon being notified by Intuit or its representatives of their availability, whichever occurs first. Software purchased on a separate standalone basis, including eligibility for Updates and Enhancements, is subject to the terms of this Agreement and the discontinuation policy and termination provisions in Sections 13 and 14 below.
10.2.2. Software Licenced on a Subscription Basis. If you purchased a Subscription based licence for the Software, which generally means that you will be paying for your use of the Software on a monthly or annual basis then, so long as your Subscription remains active and so long as Intuit is receiving the applicable payment from you, you are entitled to receive as part of your active Subscription: (i) access to the features of the Software subscribed to by you; (ii) Updates and Enhancements on a when-and-if available basis; (iii) certain additional products, add-ons or other Services, and/or discounts generally provided by Intuit to all subscribers, when-and-if they should be made available to you (such products, add-ons or other Services may be accompanied by, and use subject to, additional terms, conditions, and fees); and (iv) for subscribers under certain qualifying Subscriptions only, the right to receive new releases (i.e., Upgrades) of the Software when-and-if they are available (also referred to in this Agreement as “Version Protection”). Software licenced on a Subscription basis is eligible for Updates and Enhancements only during the active Subscription period. 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 licence terms and conditions as provided. Additionally, if you have purchased a Subscription that includes support, or if you have subscribed to a separate support Services plan, you will also be entitled to receive support Services as described in Section 12 below.
