The Company may, in its sole discretion, designate a Product Period of Availability for a Product which will allow the Customer to access a Product beyond the Active Product Life. The Customer will be able to view and access information but will not be able to input or change any existing information, including but not limited to taxpayer information. The Company will notify Customer in writing if Customer is granted such access, and any associated restrictions or additional fees.

RIGHT TO USE AND NUMBER OF USERS. This Agreement grants the Customer a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable and non-assignable license and right to use the System in connection with utilization of one or more Products. As set forth in the Product Specific Terms, the Customer may designate a certain number of users (each a “Designated User”) to utilize the System through the Customer’s account. A Designated User may be used by only one person, and no two people may share a user account. The maximum number of Designated Users for each Product will be set forth in the Product Specific Terms. The maximum number of Designated Users for each Product may be limited at Company's sole and absolute discretion. The Company grants each Designated User a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable and non-assignable right and license to use the System in connection with utilization of one or more of the Products purchased by the Customer. The Company retains all right, title, and interest in and to the System. This Agreement does not allow the Customer or any Designated User (or both) to modify any part of the System. Customer and each Designated User is prohibited from attempting to circumvent any security features of the System, and from attempting to modify or disassemble the System or any portion thereto. Customer shall not, and shall not permit any Designated User or any other party to, engage in, solicit, or promote any activity that is objectionable, or may violate any Legal Requirements, violate the rights of others, is likely to cause notoriety, harm or damage to the reputation of Company, or could subject Company to liability to third parties, or any combination of the above, all as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS. The Company may offer certain products developed, produced and/or owned by a third party (each a “Third Party Product”). Third Party Products, include, but are not limited to, products regarding audit protection, and bank and fee payment products. The Company may provide certain information to the provider, facilitator, and/or owner (or any combination thereof) of a Third Party Product (the “Third Party Provider”). The Company may also provide certain taxpayer bank account information to the Internal Revenue Service in connection with Third Party Products. If Customer wishes to offer Third Party Products, Customer may need to contract directly with the Third Party Provider. In some instances, the Company may facilitate the interaction between Customer and Third Party Provider. The Third Party Provider may charge the Customer or taxpayer a fee for the Third Party Product. The Customer may charge a markup fee to its taxpayer clients for Third Party Products if the Third Party Product provider and Company allow such a markup. The Third Party Provider may collect the fee for the Third Party Product directly from the Customer, or the Company, for a fee, may facilitate the collection of fees for the Customer’s services to taxpayers, and/or fees owed for Third Party Products. In connection with some Third Party Products, a bank or other third party financial institution may receive taxpayer refund amounts from the IRS which are then distributed to the taxpayer after deduction and distribution of fees charged by the Company, the financial institution, the Third Party Provider, and the Customer. The Company may from time to time have an agreement directly with a Third Party Provider regarding the collection of fees and distribution of funds. The Company is not responsible for and shall have no liability with respect to the distribution of funds from the IRS to any financial institution and from any financial institution to any of the following: the Customer, any Third Party Provider, or any taxpayer, and Customer shall indemnify Company for any such Claims related thereto as further provided in Section 13 below.
PAYMENT.
1. No extensions. The fees or payments associated with the Products may be one-time payments, monthly payments, annual payments, or otherwise. No adjustment to the due date for any periodic payments will be made if the Product Period of Availability extends beyond the date that periodic payments are due. By way of example only, if a Product is billed monthly for one year but the Product Period of Availability is two years, all monthly payments would be due and payable as designated within the twelve month period.
2. Administrative Fee for Late Payment. Whether payments are made through scheduled credit card charges, Automatic Clearing House (ACH), or otherwise, periodic payments must be received on or before the due date. If payment is made through a scheduled credit card charge or ACH, and the charge or deduction is not honored for the full amount owed at the time the Company initiates the charge, the payment is deemed to not have been made timely. If any payments are not made timely, any payment amount that was part of a special offer will be voided, and the payment amount due will revert to the current standard monthly fee for that Product. Additionally, a reactivation fee will be charged and collected for reactivation of the Customer’s account prior to the account being reactivated, and the Customer account will be charged the standard payment amount for such Product. The Company may also charge an administrative and/or service fee for all dishonored charges and late payments. The Company may also assess a periodic additional service charge to compensate for billing and related communication purposes with respect to any late payment.
3. Notice of Change of Payment Method. The Customer must give prompt notice, but in no event later than five (5) business days prior to any Payment Due Date (A) of any expiration or cancellation of any credit or debit card, or insufficient or invalid bank account information, or (B) if Customer desires for any reason to change its payment method and information. The Customer must provide valid replacement payment information at least five days prior to any scheduled Payment Due Date or the Customer will be deemed to be in material breach of this Agreement.
PRODUCT CHANGE RESTRICTIONS AND FEES. The Customer will be assessed a charge if the Customer requests a change to their Product selection to one or more other Products during the existing Product contract period. Fees will not be refunded or credited to Customer if the new Product requested by the Customer is offered at a lower price than the existing Product purchased by the Customer. If the existing Customer Product is billed through periodic payments, the Company, in its sole discretion, may (1) prohibit the Product change if the cost for the new Product desired by the Customer is less, or (2) treat such Product change as an early termination of the current Product contract period which may result in assessment of early termination fees.
EARLY TERMINATION: If the Customer terminates the Agreement prior to the expiration date of the contract period as set forth in the Product Specific Terms, an early termination fee will be assessed. Unless otherwise specified in writing, the early termination fee is the sum of the remainder of the payments for the particular Product purchased plus the Administrative Fee (as defined in Section 8).
LEVEL OF SUPPORT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES: Company does not provide tax preparation advice or professional advice of any type. Unless otherwise expressed in writing, the level of support offered by Company will consist solely of instructions regarding use of the Product and System. This support will be available online, or be delivered by email. In most cases, requested support and instructions will be delivered within twenty four (24) hours. Other support levels may be available for a fee. There may be administrative fees assessed when the Customer requests assistance over and above that normally associated with use of the System. Instances in which administrative fees may be assessed, include, but are not limited to, assistance with specialized products, actions related to collection of payments and fees, specialized services requested beyond those that are normally available, and other actions not normally associated with System use. Unless otherwise specified in writing, the administrative fee is $35.00 per request for assistance (the “Administrative Fee”). In no instances will support include any legal, financial, accounting, tax, health care, real estate or other professional services or advice or assistance regarding completion of any tax returns, or include any advice or assistance regarding compliance with any Legal Requirements,. The Customer acknowledges, represents and warrants that (i) it is a professional tax return preparer, as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7216-1(b)(2), and as such, is providing tax preparation or auxiliary services (or both) in connection with the provision of tax preparation services and is operating in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 301.7216 and 26 U.S. Code §7216, (ii) Customer is an Electronic Return Originator (ERO) with a valid Electronic Filer Identification Number (EFIN) as defined in IRS Publication 1345, and (iii) Customer is not relying on the Company with respect to preparation of any tax return, or with respect to compliance with any Legal Requirements. Customer understands that Customer is solely responsible for compliance with all Legal Requirements. No tax preparation assistance or tax advice is provided by the Company.
INSPECTION AND RIGHT OF RESCISSION/NO OTHER REFUNDS. The Company makes each Product publicly available at its website, and offers Customers a free trial without any obligation to purchase any Product. The free trial is available in order for the Customer to test such Product to determine its suitability for Customer's needs. The Customer represents and warrants that it has inspected the Product and determined it is sufficient for its needs. Customer accepts full responsibility for, and Company has no liability or responsibility with respect to, any or all of the following: (i) selection of adequate and appropriate Product to satisfy its business needs and achieve its intended results; (ii) use of the Product; (iii) all results obtained from use of the Product including any errors of any kind or nature; and (iv) selection, use of, and results obtained from any other programs, computer equipment or services used in connection with the Product.

The notice must be received by the Company within the seventy-two (72) hour period. The right to rescind will only apply with respect to any Product purchase that is rescinded within the seventy-two hour period. Any agreements with respect to any other Products purchased by the Customer will remain in full force and effect. Upon cancellation pursuant to this Section 9, the Customer will have no further payment obligation with respect to this Agreement, and will no longer have any access to the System with respect to any Product purchase that has been cancelled pursuant to this Section 9. Other than the right of rescission as set forth above, the Company will not issue any refunds with respect to the Products.
AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCT. Not all Products will be available in all jurisdictions or at all times. Most Products are updated and redesigned periodically. There may be component parts of a Product that become available or unavailable at different times. By way of example only, the return preparation and e-filing software contains federal and state return capabilities, and the ability to prepare a federal return generally is available prior to the state returns. The availability of state returns will also vary from one state to another. Availability and approval status of the states may be viewed at https://www.fileyourtaxes.com/supported-states. Normally supported forms may be reviewed at https://www.fileyourtaxes.com/system-limitations. Other Products may be added or deleted from the list of offered Products at any time, in the sole discretion of the Company. Customer’s or any Designated User’s (or any combination thereof) access to the Product may be suspended or denied at the end of the Product Period of Availability, at the sole discretion of the Company. Any attempt to use the Product once the access is no longer available is prohibited and is a material breach of this Agreement.
