We provide a platform (the “Platform”) that encompasses (1) a variety of services, including TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Mint (each, a “Service”); and (2) installable software (including our desktop and mobile applications), any accompanying documentation, and any updates to such software or documentation (collectively, “Software”). Intuit Inc., along with any parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or related companies (including those listed here and at https://www.intuit.com/legal/intuit-group-companies/) are referred to in these provisions as “Intuit Group Companies” or simply “Intuit” or “us.” When you use the Platform, you enter into a binding contract with us. Each section of the agreement begins with an italicized annotation that is intended to help you navigate the agreement. The annotations do not completely summarize the agreement, though, and you should read each section carefully and in full. We’ve also bolded a few areas that talk about important legal rights, and you should be sure to read those sections carefully. These provisions in Section A apply to the Platform generally and are separate from the provisions in Section B which include additional provisions for your use of specific Intuit Software or Services. If you are an individual acting on your company’s or client’s behalf, you accept these provisions on their behalf and the term “you” will refer to you, your company, or your client. AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS You need to agree to these terms to use our Platform. By using the Platform, you are instructing us to share your data across our Platform for marketing, eligibility, and other purposes described in our Global Privacy Statement, consistent with applicable law. This data may include credit information and other information we obtain from third parties. To access and/or use the Platform, you acknowledge and agree: To the terms and conditions of this agreement (“Agreement”), which includes: * Intuit’s Global Privacy Statement; * The current version of the terms set out in Section A and Section B; * Any additional provisions and conditions provided separately to you for your use of the Platform, which may include terms and conditions from third parties (which we refer to as “Additional Terms”) * You are at least 18 years of age; * You are capable of forming a binding contract with Intuit; * You are not based in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk (“DNR”), and Luhansk (“LNR”) regions of the Ukraine or any other territory that is subject to a government embargo or comprehensive sanctions (Russia), or are not otherwise prohibited from using the Platform under the laws and regulations of the United States, or any other applicable jurisdiction; and * You are not included in lists maintained by the United States or other applicable jurisdictions prohibiting transactions with and the export of US products to certain entities, people, and jurisdictions. You understand that by using certain Services, you are providing written instructions in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other applicable law to permit Intuit Inc. and its affiliated companies to obtain and periodically refresh your credit information and other information about you from third parties for marketing, eligibility, and other purposes described in Intuit's Global Privacy Statement. You understand that your instructions authorize Intuit and its affiliated companies to obtain such information now and periodically in the future for as long as you have a registered Intuit account. We will stop refreshing your credit information when you cancel your account through your account settings. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION We want to be transparent about how we use personal information and about your rights in our Privacy Statement. You should only provide us with personal information of others if you have received permission to do so. You agree that Intuit may use and maintain your personal information according to Intuit’s Global Privacy Statement and any changes published by Intuit. To the extent we allow you to input personal information (as the term is defined under applicable law) about other individuals other than yourself, you represent and warrant that you have complied with all applicable laws and received the proper authority or consent to allow us to collect and process such information to operate our business, in accordance with our Global Privacy Statement. You further agree that, other than with respect to information furnished to TurboTax in connection with the preparation of an individual tax return, any sharing of personal information among Intuit Group Companies is contemplated as part of the Platform. You agree such sharing does not constitute a “sale” of information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Changes Change happens. When it does happen, we will update this Agreement. If the changes are material, you may need to accept the changes to use the Platform. Similarly, there may be circumstances where we need to update or discontinue the Platform. We may modify the provisions of this Agreement at any time. We may notify you of such modifications by posting through the Platform or on our website or by other means. It is important that you review this Agreement whenever we modify it because your continued use of the Platform indicates your agreement to the modifications. In some cases, you may need to accept changes to this Agreement to continue using the Platform. If you do not agree to the changes, you may stop using the Platform or terminate your account. Similarly, we may update the Platform, including with tools, utilities, improvements or third party applications. You agree to receive these updates. We may further modify, suspend or discontinue the Platform at any time. You agree that we will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspensions, or discontinuance of the Platform. YOUR RIGHTS TO USE THE PLATFORM You can use our Platform for your own personal and lawful use or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Except as set forth in the Section B terms, you may access and use the Platform for your own internal, lawful and non-commercial purposes only. BETA FEATURES We may provide you with access to beta features in the Platform. You are free to use them, but they are provided as-is. We may include new and/or updated pre-release and trial features in the Platform and such features are provided as-is. Your use of such features is at no additional cost but you must follow additional rules or restrictions that we may place on their use. ACCOUNT You will provide accurate, up-to-date account information and securely manage such information. You may need to sign up for an account to use the Platform. We may need to verify your identity and you authorize us to collect information (e.g., date of birth, address) from you to do so (collectively, with all information requested to enable your account, “Account Information”). You will provide accurate, up-to-date Account Information, and we disclaim any liability arising from your failure to do so. Such failure may further limit your ability to use the Platform and affect the Platform's accuracy and effectiveness. You are responsible for securely managing your Account Information, including any password(s) for the Platform. You will notify us immediately if you believe that your Account Information or device you use to access the Platform has been lost or stolen or that someone is using your account without your permission. PAYMENT & CANCELLATIONS Some Services may be free, others may have costs associated. For those with costs, we may charge your payment method for fees or on a subscription basis. You may cancel your subscription at any time (but you may not receive a refund). We may require payment of fees or a subscription charge for use of the Platform (or certain portions of the Platform) and you agree to pay such fees. If you registered for a trial, you may need to purchase the Platform before the trial ends in order to retain access to any content provided to, or created through, the Platform. Payments will be billed in U.S. dollars, and your account will be charged upon purchase and when you provide your payment information, unless stated otherwise in applicable payment provisions. If your payment information is not accurate, current, and complete, we may suspend or terminate your account. If you do not notify us of updates to your payment information, we may participate in programs supported by your card provider to try to update your payment information, and you authorize us to continue billing your account with the updated information that we obtain. You may be charged a subscription fee in advance on an annual basis or other recurring interval disclosed to you prior to your purchase. For annual subscriptions, we will send you a reminder with the then-current subscription fee no less than thirty (30) days and no more than sixty (60) days before your subscription term ends, or otherwise as required by applicable law. Intuit may change the price for recurring subscription fees from time to time with notice to you. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. If you do not agree with the price change, you may unsubscribe prior to the price change going into effect. Your payment to Intuit will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period but you can cancel a subscription at any time. Subscription cancellations will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period. If you cancel in the middle of a subscription period, you will be able to continue to access and use the applicable Service until the end of your subscription period. We do not provide refunds or credits for any cancellations or partial subscription period. DESKTOP AND MOBILE APP USE Desktop and Mobile versions of our Platform may be available for download but you must follow applicable third-party terms when using them. The Platform may be available through one or more apps for a compatible desktop computer or mobile device. You agree that you are solely responsible for any applicable changes, updates and fees as well as complying with the provisions of your agreement with your telecommunications provider and any third-party mobile app marketplace. With respect to the applicable Software, you are only granted limited rights to install and use the Software you have downloaded, signed up for or for which you have purchased a license or acquired a free trial. Intuit reserves all other rights in the applicable Software not granted to you in writing in this Agreement. Conditioned upon your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including all payment obligations), Intuit grants you a personal, limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use the applicable Software only for the period of use provided in the ordering and activation terms (as applicable), as set forth in this Agreement or in Intuit’s then-current product discontinuation policies (as updated from time to time) and only for the purposes described by Intuit for the applicable Software. You acknowledge and agree that such Software is licensed, not sold. You may make a single copy of the Software for backup purposes, provided that you reproduce on it all copyright and other proprietary notices that are on the original copy of the Software. You will not delete or in any manner alter the copyright, trademark and other proprietary rights notices or markings appearing on the Software as delivered to you. ADVICE AND THIRD PARTY SERVICES AND PRODUCTS You may have access to professional advice and third-party products. Any such advice and products are not covered under this Agreement. We may offer specific functionality in the Platform that provides you with the opportunity to seek professional advice, for example, the ability to speak with a tax expert. Unless specifically disclosed, Intuit is not in the business of providing legal, financial, accounting, tax, health care, insurance, real estate or other professional service or advice, and you should consult with professionals for advice prior to making important decisions in these areas. The Platform may also include information about or offers for third-party services or products or allow you to connect your account to or otherise access third-party services or products. Intuit does not warrant, and is not responsible for, such third party services and products or claims made about them, or the actions or inactions of any third party. You must review and comply with any Additional Terms. Intuit may be compensated by those third parties, which could impact whether, how and where the services and products are displayed.

INTUIT COMMUNICATIONS We may contact you from time to time to support your use of the Platform. In order to properly support and serve you, we occasionally need to reach out and contact you, and may do so in a variety of ways such as via text message, email or messaging functionality in the Platform. We want to provide you options for receiving communications from us, and as such you may opt-in or opt-out of receiving certain types of communications from us or sign up to receive certain kinds of messages from us, depending on the Platform. You will need to notify us of any changes to your contact details to ensure your preferences are updated. You may provide us with your telephone number as part of your customer record or registration or via other methods. You understand and agree that Intuit may use your telephone number for multi-factor authentication (“MFA”), to confirm your identity and help protect the security of your account. Part of the MFA identity verification process may involve Intuit sending text messages containing security codes to your telephone number. You agree to receive these texts from Intuit containing security codes as part of the MFA process. In addition, you agree that Intuit may send automated text messages and pre-recorded voice messages to the telephone number you provide for other limited purposes, including: providing you with important critical notices regarding your use of the Services, or fulfilling a request made by you through the Services. THIRD PARTY ACCOUNT INFORMATION Intuit is not responsible for any account information obtained from third parties. When you direct Intuit to retrieve your account information from third parties, you authorize and permit us to use and store that information and other information you submit through the Platform (such as usernames and passwords) for purposes of providing the Platform and Services to you. You grant Intuit a limited power of attorney to access those accounts and retrieve your account information, without additional notice to you. . Intuit will be acting as your agent and will not be acting on behalf of the third party. Intuit does not review third party account information for accuracy and is not responsible for any issues or expenses resulting from such account information, including any inaccuracy, error, delay, or non-delivery. For clarity, Intuit is not responsible for any payment processing errors or fees arising from inaccurate account information provided by third parties. DISCLAIMERS We don’t make any warranties about the Platform except as expressly stated in this Agreement. The only warranties we make about the Platform are (1) stated in this Agreement, or (2) as provided under applicable laws. The Platform is otherwise provided “as-is,” and we do not make any other warranties about the Platform. Unless required by law, we do not provide implied warranties, such as the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform is error-free, secure, or free from any viruses or other harmful components. We also do not provide any warranties with respect to data loss or to the accuracy, reliability, or availability of the Platform, nor of any content (including any Content) or information made available in the Platform. If the exclusions for implied warranties do not apply to you, any implied warranties are limited to sixty (60) days from the date of purchase or delivery of the Platform, whichever is sooner. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Our liability is limited when it comes to issues you may encounter with our Platform. Other than the rights and responsibilities described in this Agreement and as allowed by applicable law, Intuit won’t be responsible for any losses. The total aggregate liability of Intuit and our third party providers, licensors, distributors or suppliers (“Intuit Parties”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement is limited to the greater of: (1) the fees that you paid to use the relevant Service(s) in the 12 months before the breach or (2) $100. The Intuit Parties won’t be responsible for the following: * Loss of data, profits, revenues, business opportunities, goodwill or anticipated savings; * Indirect, incidental, or consequential loss; * Punitive damages; or * Damages relating to failures of telecommunications, the internet, electronic communications, corruption, security, viruses, or spyware. The above limitations apply even if the Intuit Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages. This Agreement sets forth your exclusive remedy with respect to the Platform and its use. If you’re legally exempt from certain responsibilities, including indemnification, then those responsibilities don’t apply to you under this Agreement. For example, the United Nations enjoys certain immunities from legal obligations and this Agreement doesn’t override those immunities. INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS If someone sues us because you used the Platform unlawfully or didn’t follow our rules, you will be responsible for any harm to us. You will indemnify and hold harmless the Intuit Parties for any losses, damages, judgments, fines, costs and expenses (including legal fees) in connection with any claims arising out of or relating to your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Platform or violation of this Agreement. Intuit reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any claims. You agree to reasonably cooperate as requested by Intuit in the defense of any claims. DISPUTES In the event we are unable to resolve any dispute through an informal dialogue, a third-party arbitrator or small claims court will help us resolve any disputes we might have, and any disputes will be resolved on an individual basis rather than as a class action. If you are a U.S. customer: You and Intuit agree that, except as provided below, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Platform or this Agreement (a “Claim”) will be determined by binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Either you or Intuit can seek to have a Claim resolved in small claims court if all the requirements of the small claims court are satisfied. Either you or Intuit may seek to have a Claim resolved in small claims court in your county of residence or the small claims court in closest proximity to your residence, and you may also bring a claim in small claims court in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision, and that you and Intuit are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of your account. If you elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to Intuit a written notice of your Claim ("Notice of Claim"). The Notice of Claim to Intuit should be sent in care of our registered agent Corporation Service Company, 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808. The Notice of Claim should include both the mailing address and email address you would like Intuit to use to contact you. If Intuit elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice of Claim to your address on file. A Notice of Claim, whether sent by you or by Intuit, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the Claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific amount of damages or other relief sought. You and Intuit agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Intuit therefore agree that, after a Notice of Claim is sent but before either you or Intuit commence arbitration or file a Claim in small claims court against the other, we will personally meet, via telephone or videoconference, in a good-faith effort to confer with each other and try to resolve informally any Claim covered by this Agreement. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference as well, but you agree to fully participate in the conference. Likewise, if Intuit is represented by counsel, its counsel may participate in the conference as well, but Intuit agrees to have a company representative fully participate in the conference. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph. If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the Claim within sixty (60) days after the Notice of Claim is received, you or Intuit may commence an arbitration proceeding by filing a Demand for Arbitration or, alternatively, by filing a Claim in small claims court. You agree that you may not commence any arbitration or file a Claim in small claims court unless you and Intuit are unable to resolve the Claim within sixty (60) days after we receive your completed Notice of Claim and you have made a good faith effort to resolve your claim directly with Intuit during that time. If a Claim qualifies for small claims court, but a party commences an arbitration proceeding, you and Intuit agree that either party may elect instead to have the Claim resolved in small claims court, and upon written notice of a party’s election, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administratively close the arbitration proceeding. Any dispute about whether a Claim qualifies for small claims court shall be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator. In the event of any such dispute, the arbitration proceeding shall remain closed unless and until a decision by the small claims court that the Claim should proceed in arbitration. You may download or copy a form of notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA before a single AAA arbitrator under the AAA’s rules, which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879, except as modified by this Agreement. Unless Intuit and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of either your residence or of the mailing address you provided in your Notice of Claim. The arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of California or the state of your residence and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s National Roster of Arbitrators. The arbitrator will be selected using the following procedure: (a) the AAA will send the parties a list of five candidates meeting this criteria; (b) if the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator from the list, each party shall return its list to the AAA within 10 days, striking up to two candidates, and ranking the remaining candidates in order of preference; (c) the AAA shall appoint as arbitrator the candidate with the highest aggregate ranking; and (d) if for any reason the appointment cannot be made according to this procedure, the AAA may exercise its discretion in appointing the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided below, all issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. The parties agree that an administrative conference with the AAA shall be conducted in each arbitration proceeding, and you and an Intuit company representative shall appear at the administrative conference via telephone. If you fail to appear at the administrative conference, regardless of whether your counsel attends, the AAA will administratively close the arbitration proceeding without prejudice, unless you show good cause as to why you were not able to attend the conference. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The award shall be binding only among the parties and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or other proceeding involving a different party. Intuit will not seek to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration from you unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). Judgment on any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate shall not preclude any party to the arbitration from at any time seeking injunctions or other forms of equitable relief in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction including whether a Demand for Arbitration is filed in violation of this Agreement. Unless you or Intuit seek to have a Claim resolved in small claims court, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any Claim asserted by you or Intuit and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that you or Intuit prevail on a Claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual Claims in arbitration. Before a court of competent jurisdiction issues any public injunctive relief, it shall review the factual findings of the arbitration award on which any injunction would issue with no deference to the arbitrator. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. You are required to pay AAA’s initial filing fee, but Intuit will reimburse you for this filing fee at the conclusion of the arbitration to the extent it exceeds the fee for filing a complaint in a federal or state court in your county of residence or in Santa Clara County, California. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and Intuit will not reimburse your initial filing fee. The parties agree that the AAA has discretion to modify the amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under the AAA Rules where it deems appropriate, provided that such modification does not increase the AAA fees to you or Intuit, and you and Intuit waive any objection to such fee modification. You and Intuit agree that each may bring Claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, if you have elected arbitration, unless both you and Intuit agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate any other person's Claims with your Claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If Intuit believes that any Claim you have filed in arbitration or in court is inconsistent with the limitations in this paragraph, then you agree that Intuit may seek an order from a court determining whether your Claim is within the scope of the Class Action Waiver. If this Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Disputes Section shall be null and void.

These Section B Terms will prevail over any conflict or inconsistency with the Section A Terms. 1. SERVICES When you use a QuickBooks product or service, you establish a direct relationship with the QuickBooks brand, including each product and service in the QuickBooks family and the entities offering those services. The Section B Terms include provisions applicable to your use of QuickBooks generally, as well as additional provisions for your use of specific QuickBooks products and services. The Agreement governs your use of each of the following “Services,” as applicable: A. Money Movement Service The "Money Movement Service" is a Service that enables transmission of funds in connection with payroll processing, payroll tax payments, payments to third-party vendors or contractors, bill payments, or related payments services. We may offer Ancillary Payments Services (as defined in Part N) as features of the Money Movement Service. If you use the Money Movement Service, the following additional terms in this Part A apply (the “Money Movement Service Terms”). The Money Movement Service includes money transfer services provided by Intuit Payments Inc. (“IPI,” “we” or “us”), which is licensed as a money transmitter in the U.S. jurisdictions listed at Intuit Payment Licenses. While the Money Movement Service is provided by IPI, under certain circumstances IPI is not required to provide such service under its money transmitter licenses. If you have an issue or question about your Money Movement Service, you can call 1-800-446-8848 or send a written request via mail to: Intuit Payments Inc., 2700 Coast Avenue, Mountain View, CA 94043. Supplemental Terms for Money Movement Services The Money Movement Service is only made available in the United States (but not the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories and possessions). To use the Money Movement Service, 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 Service; * must not be prohibited from receiving the Money Movement Service under the laws and regulations of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You, any user of the Money Movement Service and any Payor or Payee must not export the Money Movement Service to countries that are embargoed by the US government. You must not be listed on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or any other similar prohibition. You must comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws and regulations, and will not transfer or provide any part of the Services, in violation of these laws and regulations, directly or indirectly. on any other third party or governmental sanctions list; * must comply with the terms, conditions and rules applicable to your use or access of the ACH and other money movement services provided by IPI currently available in or our “Acceptable Use Policy”). * must not engage in any of the activities, business types, or transactions that are prohibited in our Acceptable Use Policy; * must not, and must not attempt to use the Money Movement Service 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. * affirm that each Additional User of the Money Movement Service, as applicable, who initiates a payment request is authorized to do so on your behalf. Occasionally, IPI may publish additional guidelines, policies, and rules (collectively "IPI Policies") regarding the Money Movement Service. IPI will provide appropriate notice to you regarding such IPI Policies. You agree that your use of the Money Movement Service will comply with and be consistent with such IPI Policies. You agree to provide any information we deem necessary to verify your compliance with the IPI Policies. 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 Services, including but not limited to: * a copy of a government-issued ID for you or a control person, beneficial owner, Administrator or Additional User (each, a “Principal”) (such as a passport or driver's license); * your business license; * taxpayer ID number; or * financial or bank statements; utility bills; or personal or business tax returns of you or a Principal. In addition, without limiting any authorizations you provide as set forth in Section A, 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’ 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 Principals. You agree that our processing of your personal information is subject to the Intuit Global Privacy Statement. IPI may establish processing limits and assign a maximum dollar amount for the Money Movement Service 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 and with or without notice or cause, place holds on any Payments (as defined below) initiated by you in order to protect against potential risk or fraud. Reasons may be based on multiple factors, including, but not limited to: * no or limited payments processing history with Intuit; * past performance or standing of your account, including changes in charge volume; * unusual activity on your account, including with respect to amount, frequency and other factors; or * 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 Service 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 and with or without notice or cause, 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 may be attributed to any hold, review, or other delay or suspension of a Payment. IPI reserves the right, in its sole discretion and with or without notice or cause, to suspend or terminate the provision of the Money Movement Service, including without limitation, if: * We have reason to believe that fraudulent transactions or other activity prohibited by this Agreement has occurred; * Such action is necessary to prevent loss to us or any other person; or * You violate any portion of the Agreement, including the Acceptable Use Policy. Upon termination of the Agreement or your access to the Money Movement Service, 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, anti-corruption or other compliance requirements, if we suspect any fraudulent transactions or other activity prohibited by this Agreement, or if such action is necessary to prevent loss to us or any other person. IPI Provision of the Money Movement Service 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. With respect to the Money Movement Service for any Ancillary Payments Services: (i) if 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," an eligible transfer of funds to a Payee that you initiate 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. When transferring funds IPI receives from you to a Payee, IPI’s obligation with respect to Payment shall be deemed satisfied when the Payee’s bank credits the Payee’s account with such funds; (ii) if you are the "Payee" and the person or entity seeking to pay you is a "Payor," an eligible transfer of funds to you that the Payor initiates constitutes a "Payment." When the Payor makes a valid Payment request, IPI receives funds from the Payor and transmits the funds to you as the Payee in accordance with the Payor's instructions. When transferring funds IPI receives from the Payor, IPI’s obligation with respect to Payment shall be deemed satisfied when your bank credits your account with the funds received from the Payor." To use the Money Movement Service 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 (together with ACH, sometimes referred to as "Debits") to fund your Payments. 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. 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 termination of such authorization 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. We may refuse to process your Payment Transaction if we reasonably believe 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: * Reverse any corresponding credit issued to IPI, you, your Payees or any other party without liability to you or any other party; * Reverse direct deposit transactions; * Refuse to perform further Services; * Apply any money currently held by IPI to any amount owed to us by you; * Charge you a one-time insufficient funds penalty fee; and/or * Report this information to any and all credit agencies and/or financial institutions. 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 these Money Movement Service Terms and including but not limited to, attorney fees, where permitted by law, will be charged to you. This paragraph shall, to the extent applicable, survive the termination of the Agreement. B. Data Transfer Service * We may provide you with the opportunity to connect your account or our Service with non-Intuit-owned services (“Third Party Services”) (such functionality, the “Data Transfer Service”). To do so, you may need to provide us with information needed to log into those Third Party Services, including username, passwords, and other such information. We will use appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure this data consistent with applicable data privacy and protection laws or regulations. In addition, we will only use these credentials in order to share data with the Third-Party Service you have indicated. By providing such details, you grant Intuit the right to process and transfer the data as reasonably necessary to provide the function or service you consented to. * You agree that your data sharing will comply with all terms and conditions of the other services and you will not share data in any manner that is unlawful or would infringe or violate the rights of Intuit or any other party. Your data sharing with other services may result in the transfer of your data to another country where security and privacy controls may not be adequate for data protection. * We do not guarantee that you will be able to share your data with any specific products or services. * The Third Party Service may not retain your data after the transfer and Intuit will not be responsible for any data loss as a result of the transfer. You are responsible for any fees charged by the third party for the data access. Intuit will not be liable for any damages, claims, or liabilities arising out of or related to the Third Party Services. C. Sales Tax Determination Service The “Sales Tax Determination Service” is a Service that uses information that you provide to determine tax locations of your company and customers and respective tax rates. If you use the Sales Tax Determination Service, the following additional terms in this Part C apply (the “Sales Tax Determination Service Terms”). Accuracy and Completeness We do not verify the accuracy and completeness of your information and we will not be responsible for any fines that may be levied against you or liable for any other penalty, interest or other liability as a result of you providing inaccurate, incomplete, or untimely information. In the event that we become aware of any tax agency information that is inaccurate, we may input the correct information without prior notice to you. Electronic Filing You may be given the option of paying the sales taxes electronically ("Electronic Filing"). You are responsible for paying the sales taxes, including if necessary, for filing and paying it outside the Sales Tax Determination Service if the taxing authority rejects your payment (e.g., incorrect bank account number, invalid pin, duplicate payment). By using the Sales Tax Determination Service, you consent to the disclosure to the applicable tax or revenue authority of all information pertaining to your use of the Electronic Filing. Intuit is not responsible for any late payments or related penalties charged by a taxing authority.

Tax Agency Accounts If any tax agency's registration process requires an online account to use the Sales Tax Determination Service, we may, with your consent, create an account for you and provide you with that account information. If you have already created an account, you agree to provide us that information or other requested information to facilitate registration or onboarding. If, at any time, we create an account for you or access your existing account using your account information, you must change your login name and password credentials. Intuit will not be responsible for use of or access to your account immediately after we provide you notice of our account set up or access. Electronic Signatures We may require you to provide your electronic signature to certain forms or documents required by Intuit or state/federal tax agencies. Such forms will be made available to you if required. By using the Sales Tax Determination Service, 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. Your signature will be effective as 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 Sales Tax Determination Service will terminate. Additional Client Users You may cause an additional client user to be liable for fees and payments if you: * Give the client user access to the Sales Tax Determination Service; and * Require the client user to sign-up for the Sales Tax Determination Service and agree to the Agreement. As a service provider, you are responsible for paying Intuit all amounts owed by the client user for use of the Sales Tax Determination Service if Intuit is not able to collect from the client user. This section will survive the termination of the Agreement. Default or Bankruptcy If you: * Default in the payment of any sum of money hereunder; * Default in performing any of your obligations under the Agreement; or * 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; then Intuit may do any or all of the following: 1. Terminate the Agreement; 2. Declare all owed amounts immediately due and payable; and/or 3. require you to deposit with us an amount equal to the 12-month average monthly or annual processing charges to prepay for any future processing D. Data Receipt Service Login Credentials We may provide you with the opportunity to import your data from a Third-Party Service for use within our Services (such Service, the “Data Receipt Service”). You need to provide us with your login credentials for the Third-Party Service in order to access such third party products on your behalf. Maintained login credentials will be encrypted and used in connection with importing your data to our Service otherwise with your permission. You represent that you have the authority to both provide us with your login credentials and to transfer data from the Third-Party Service to Intuit. The data inputted to our Service is governed under these terms and the Intuit Global Privacy Statement, which may differ from the terms and privacy commitments of the Third-Party Service.

Intuit will not be liable for any damages, claims, or liabilities arising out of or related to the Third Party Service.

Each TPP will use and protect your data according to their own privacy policy and Intuit will not be able to control their use of your information. If you choose to utilize the services of a TPP in connection with QuickBooks Payments, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions of that TPP. Your use of such TPP’s services will be governed solely by that TPP’s terms and conditions and Intuit will not be liable for any claims or damages arising from your use of such TPP's services. Intuit does not recommend or endorse any TPP, or any other third parties, even if such third party is using our API’s (Application Programming Interface) to access your information or deliver you services. Additionally, you acknowledge that a TPP's operations, service performance, or restrictions may impact QuickBooks Payments and Intuit will not be liable for such impacts when you use such TPP's services. Bank Account. You will need to establish and maintain a debit-enabled account (“Bank Account”) at a U.S. depository financial institution to facilitate payment of fees to Intuit and the transfer of amounts due to you from your Merchant Account. You irrevocably authorize Intuit and our sponsor banks to immediately debit your Bank Account for any and all fraudulent transactions, any negative balance in your Merchant Account, for current and past due fees, payment equipment rentals/purchases, fines, penalties, or any amounts you owe us under these QuickBooks Payments Terms. 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. We may take reasonable steps to verify your Bank Account information, for example, by requiring you to provide us a cancelled check or by debiting and crediting micro-deposits into your Bank Account, including on a recurring basis. You agree that you will not change your Bank Account without our prior consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. If you do not obtain such prior consent, Intuit may immediately terminate these QuickBooks Payments Terms. Your Merchant Account. Following approval of your Merchant Application, you must open a merchant service account with us (“Merchant Account”) to use QuickBooks Payments. The proceeds from your card and other payment transactions processed using QuickBooks Payments (“Settlement Funds”) will be recorded in your Merchant Account and we will transfer funds to your Bank Account. Settlement Funds do not constitute a deposit you have with us, will bear no interest, and are not eligible for insurance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Intuit Security Interest. These QuickBooks Payments Terms will constitute a security agreement under the California Commercial Code (and, to the extent applicable, the Commercial Code or laws of any other jurisdiction). If you owe a debt to us, either now or in the future, you grant a security interest in all of your various accounts (standing in the name of Merchant alone or in a joint account, including any affiliated companies of Merchant, whether established or maintained pursuant to these QuickBooks Payments Terms or not) to us to secure any such debt. You agree that we may use funds in any of your accounts to pay all or part of any debt you owe to us. You irrevocably consent to Intuit using any means available to locate any such accounts until such time as all amounts due have been paid. You grant to us a security interest in and lien upon: (a) all funds representing amounts owing to you at any time under these QuickBooks Payments Terms or any other agreement between you and Intuit from your Merchant Account, regardless of the source of such funds; (b) all funds at any time in the Reserve Account, regardless of the source of such funds; (c) present and future card or other payment transactions and associated receivables; (d) all funds at any time in your Bank Account, regardless of the source of such funds; (e) your electronic terminal, printer, imprinter and imprinter plate; and (f) any amounts that may be due to you, or that may become due to you, under these QuickBooks Payments Terms or any other agreement between you and Intuit, including, without limitation all rights to receive any payments or credits under these QuickBooks Payments Terms(collectively (a) – (f), the “Secured Assets”). Upon our request, you agree to provide additional security interests and liens to us to secure your obligations under these QuickBooks Payments Terms. These security interests and liens will secure all of your obligations under these QuickBooks Payments Terms and any other agreements now existing or later entered into between you and us, including but not limited to, your obligation to pay any amounts due and owing to us. We may exercise and enforce these security interests and liens without notice or demand of any kind to you, including but not limited to, by making immediate withdrawals from, or freezing of, your Secured Assets. Upon our request, you agree to execute one or more financing statements or other documents to evidence our security interests and liens, and agree that we may file or record any such financing statements or related documents. You represent and warrant that no other person or entity has any security interest in any of the Secured Assets. With respect to our security interests and liens, we will have all rights afforded under the California Commercial Code and, to the extent applicable, the Commercial Code or laws of any other jurisdiction, or in equity. You must obtain written consent from us prior to granting a security interest of any kind in any of the Secured Assets to any third party. You authorize and appoint us as your attorney-in-fact to sign your name to any financing statements used in connection with any security interests and liens granted hereunder. Reserve Account. Upon our request and for the purpose of providing a source of funds to pay us for amounts you owe, you agree that we may place in an account maintained and solely controlled by us, initially or at any time in the future, sums sufficient to satisfy your current and/or future obligations (“Reserve Account”). You agree to fund the Reserve Account in an amount that we deem necessary in immediately-available funds, otherwise we may fund the Reserve Account using any amounts that we receive in settlement of transactions processed through the QuickBooks Payments or otherwise. You agree that we shall have the right to hold funds in such Reserve Account as long as we deem necessary. We may, at any time, require that the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account be increased, and we shall have sole discretion as to the amount needed in the Reserve Account. Your obligation to maintain a Reserve Account shall survive termination of this Agreement for a minimum period of two hundred and seventy (270) days or longer after the termination date or after the date of your last transaction, depending on your product and business practices. After such time, any balance that remains in the Reserve Account will be returned to you unless the funds are subject to an investigation related to potential fraudulent transactions, or if such funds are subject to Commercial Code lien demands, tax levies, enforcement of judgment proceedings, restraining notices, or other legal process or demands made or known to us. Unless expressly agreed in writing, the Reserve Account will not bear interest. Intuit shall have the right to debit funds in the Merchant Account, Bank Account, or any other deposit account maintained by the Merchant to establish, increase, or maintain funds in the Reserve Account. We may deposit into the Reserve Account funds we otherwise would be obligated to pay you, for the purpose of establishing, increasing, or maintaining the Reserve Account in accordance with this section, if we determine such action is reasonably necessary to protect our interests. You understand and agree that if you are required to establish a Reserve Account, you have an obligation under this Agreement to maintain at all times a balance in the Reserve Account sufficient to protect us against any actual or potential losses resulting from any payment transactions initiated by you, from any claims asserted against you, your Merchant Account, or your Reserve Account, and from any claims asserted against us based on your conduct related to this Agreement. We may, without notice to you, apply funds deposited in your Reserve Account against or debit your Reserve Account any outstanding amounts you owe to us under this Agreement or under any other agreement between you and us, as set forth in this section. Intuit Right of Recoupment and Set-off. Intuit shall have the right of recoupment and set-off under this Agreement. This means that we may offset any outstanding or uncollected amounts owed to us from: (a) any amounts owed to you that we otherwise would be obligated to deposit into your Merchant Account; (b) any other amounts we may owe you under this Agreement or any other agreement; (c) the Bank Account which you may have associated with your Merchant Account; and (d) the Reserve Account. You acknowledge that in the event of a bankruptcy proceeding, in order for you and/or your bankruptcy estate to provide adequate protection under Bankruptcy Code Sections 362, 363, and 364, or otherwise to us, you must create, maintain, or increase the amounts in a Reserve Account as required by us, and we will have the right to offset and recoup against the Reserve Account for any and all obligations which you may owe to us, without regard to whether the obligations relate to payment transactions initiated or created before or after the filing of the bankruptcy petition, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Billing Errors; Your Right to Request Investigation. If you suspect an error in your payment transaction statement or history, you must notify us in writing. You must include in your written request for investigation: (a) your name; (b) business name; (c) Bank Account number; (d) the dollar amount of the asserted error; (e) a description of the asserted error; and (f) an explanation of why you believe an error exists and the cause of it, if known. Intuit must receive your written notice within forty-five (45) days after you received a statement containing the asserted error. If you fail to notify us within forty-five (45) days, you will be deemed to have accepted the fees and charges as set forth in the applicable statement and we will have no obligation to investigate the error or refund any such amounts to you. We will advise you of the results of our investigation if we conduct one, and if we have made an error, we will correct it promptly. If we determine that there was no error, we will send you an explanation of the determination. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation. Chargebacks. Customers may dispute transactions, which may lead to a payment transaction being reversed or returned, otherwise known as a “Chargeback.” Intuit does not decide what transactions are charged back and Intuit does not determine the ultimate resolution of a Chargeback. Your customers may be able to successfully charge back a transaction even though you have provided your goods or services to the customer. You are responsible for all Chargebacks and will be liable to us for the total amount of any sale for which a customer disputes the validity of the sale, plus any applicable Chargeback fees imposed by us or a third party, including VISA and MasterCard chargeback arbitration fees. You authorize us to offset from incoming transactions and to debit your Merchant Account, Bank Account, and/or the Reserve Account to recover any Chargebacks plus any applicable Chargeback fees imposed by us or a third party, including VISA and MasterCard chargeback arbitration fees. You agree to fully cooperate with us in complying with the Rules (defined below) regarding Chargebacks, including any request for documentation. We may suspend the Payment Services and stop releasing funds until you reimburse us for all unpaid Chargebacks. You must not re-enter or reprocess any payment transaction that has been charged back. Excessive Chargebacks. Excessive Chargebacks are a breach of this Agreement and cause for immediate termination of QuickBooks Payments. “Excessive Chargebacks” means chargebacks during any monthly period and for any one of your terminal identification numbers or merchant identification numbers, including: (a) Chargebacks and/or retrieval requests in excess of 1% of the average monthly dollar amount of transactions; (b) ACH unauthorized returns in excess of 0.5% or returns in excess of 3% of the average monthly dollar amount of transactions; or (c) processing an average transaction above the processing limits or amount approved by us. Excessive Chargebacks include fees that might be imposed by our sponsor banks and card or payment network. You authorize us, upon the occurrence of Excessive Chargebacks, to take additional actions we may deem necessary, including, but not limited to, suspension of QuickBooks Payments or creation or maintenance of a Reserve Account in accordance with this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that Intuit may be required to report your name to law enforcement and any other third party including but not limited to the card or payment networks, such as for inclusion into VISA Terminated Merchant File, MasterCard MATCH, or any other prohibited merchant list in the event of fraud, counterfeit, unauthorized transactions, highly suspect activity, Chargebacks, Excessive Chargebacks, or if we terminate your access to QuickBooks Payments. You agree to such reporting and waive any claims against Intuit as a result of such reporting. Unusual Activity; Holds; Risk Reviews. If we believe there is unusual activity on your Merchant Account, we may, in our sole discretion, temporarily suspend your access to QuickBooks Payments, move your Settlement Funds into a Reserve Account, place holds on your Settlement Funds that delay or suspend disbursement, and/or terminate QuickBooks Payments. Unusual activity includes, but is not limited to: (a) changes in your average transaction amount or processing pattern; (b) monthly percentage of different transaction types; or (c) Excessive Chargebacks. We may, in our sole discretion, place holds on your transactions or Merchant Account to otherwise protect against potential risk or fraud. Reasons for holds are proprietary to 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 Merchant Account, including return or dispute rates; or (iii) sales of higher risk goods or services. You understand and agree that our evaluation of risk may result in your ineligibility for certain QuickBooks Payments, such as those enabling faster funding than standard deposit timing. We will notify you in the event that you do not qualify for these QuickBooks Payments and/or if you later become eligible. Intuit also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to review and either clear or cancel each transaction. If a transaction is cleared after review, we will provide notice to you. Otherwise, we will cancel the transaction and Settlement Funds may be returned. Intuit 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 funds disbursement. If we hold or review a transaction, you acknowledge that your customer’s product or service must be delivered just as if you have been paid. Further, if a transaction is subject to a hold or review, you acknowledge that fees associated with the transaction will be charged. Acceptable Use Policy; Other Intuit Policies. The Acceptable Use Policy and any updates thereto apply to your use of QuickBooks Payments. The Acceptable Use Policy restricts use of QuickBooks Payments in connection with certain types of prohibited merchants, activities and business types, and transactions. If you are engaged in any of the prohibited merchant categories, activities and business types, or transactions described in our Acceptable Use Policy, you are not eligible (or may become ineligible) to use QuickBooks Payments. From time to time, Intuit may publish additional guidelines, policies, and rules (collectively “Intuit Policies”) governing your use of QuickBooks Payments. To the extent Intuit Policies apply to you, you agree to use QuickBooks Payments in a manner consistent with such policies and to provide any information we deem necessary to verify your compliance with such Intuit Policies. Compliance with Law, Card Network, and NACHA Rules. In connection with your use of QuickBooks Payments, or in the course of your interaction with your customers or us, you agree to comply with all laws and regulations applicable to you, your business, and QuickBooks Payments. You further agree to use QuickBooks Payments in a manner that is consistent with all applicable laws, including laws pertaining to privacy and data protection, as well as rules and operating regulations issued from time to time by: credit card and payment networks (i.e. VISA, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Discover, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo, etc.); the Payment Card Industry, including but not limited to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (“PCI DSS”) and Payment Application Data Security Standard (“PA-DSS”) (collectively, “Rules”).

The following payment processing practices are prohibited under these QuickBooks Payments Terms: * You may not split transactions on multiple cards or other payment transactions except where: (a) partial payment is entered on a transaction record and the balance of the transaction amount is paid in cash or by check at the time of transaction; or (b) the amount represents a prepayment in a card transaction completed in accordance with these QuickBooks Payments Terms and any applicable Rules. * You may not separate goods and services purchased in a single transaction at one time on different transactions or payment receipts, except: (a) for purchases in separate departments of a multiple department store; (b) for installment payments; or (c) for delayed or amended charges governed by Rules for travel and entertainment merchants and transactions. * You may not use the QuickBooks Payments to accept amounts representing the refinancing of an existing uncollectible obligation, debt, or dishonored check of a customer. * You may not present for processing or credit, directly or indirectly, any transaction not originated as a result of a payment transaction directly between you and a payor. * You may not present for processing or credit any transaction you know, or should know, to be fraudulent or not authorized by a cardholder, payor, or customer. * You may not receive any cash payments from a customer for charges included in any card processing transaction resulting from the use of a credit or debit card. * You may not receive any payment from a payor or customer to prepare and present a transaction for the purpose of affecting a deposit to that customer or payor’s account. * You may not deposit any transaction for the purpose of obtaining or providing a cash advance either on a card or other payment instrument owned by you or any other party.

If any tax or surcharge amount is allowed or required, such amount must be included in the transaction amount and shall not be collected separately. Web, Phone, and Mail-Based Processing and Recurring Payments; Lodging and Vehicle Rental Transactions. If you accept payment by web (“IO”), phone (“TO”), mail (“MO”), or pre-authorized (“PO”) order, a transaction receipt may be completed without the cardholder’s or payor’s signature or an imprint, but in such case, you agree to create a receipt containing the card number, expiration date, transaction date, an authorization number, the sale amount, and the letters “IO”,”TO”, “MO”, or “PO” as appropriate. Your name and the city and state of your business must also be included. Receiving an electronic authorization shall not relieve you of liability for Chargebacks on any transaction for which you did not obtain an imprint and the cardholder’s signature. You agree to use reasonable procedures to mitigate payment card and identity fraud and agree that Intuit shall have no responsibility to independently validate the legitimacy of any card or any cardholder’s identity. If a product is being shipped, your customer must be given the shipping date of the product once the sale is processed. If you prohibit refunds in certain circumstances, you may still receive a Chargeback fee relating to such sales pursuant to applicable Rules. You agree not to accept credit card sales via email.

You agree to include “Recurring Transaction” on the signature line of the receipt. You agree to provide a copy of the written request to a cardholder’s issuing bank upon request and must retain a copy of written request for one (1) year after the agreement between you and the payor is terminated. For multi-year agreements, you shall renew the written request with the cardholder annually during the 12th month of the current agreement.

Additional electronic authorization must be obtained and recorded for charges actually incurred in excess of the estimated amount. Prepayments.

Accepting Credit and Debit Cards; Minimum Credit or Debit Transaction Amount. You agree to accept all valid credit and debit card types and brands properly presented by a payor or cardholder for payment for goods or services without discrimination. When accepting a credit or debit card, you agree to: (a) determine whether the card is valid; (b) obtain an electronic approval or authorization before completing a sale, or obtain an imprint of the card (including cardholder’s signature) unless a receipt is electronically generated from a swiped transaction or is the result of a web, phone, mail, or preauthorized order; (c) have reasonable practices in place to verify the cardholder’s or payor’s identity; (d) deliver a copy of the customer receipt to the cardholder or payor at the time of delivery of the goods or performance of the services or point of sale; and (e) be able to reproduce without alteration a legible receipt containing the cardholder’s name, account number (in truncated form), expiration date, and your business name and location. You may establish a minimum transaction amount for accepting credit card transactions so long as such amount does not exceed U.S. $10.00, or other amount required or permitted by law, and such minimum transaction size requirement does not discriminate between card networks. You may not require a minimum transaction amount for debit card transactions. You may offer discounts or in-kind incentives for payment by the use of cash, checks, debit cards, or credit cards, provided that the terms of the discount or in-kind incentives do not differentiate on the basis of the issuer of the card or payment network. You shall not accept a card as payment (other than for a mail order, telephone order, or preauthorized sale to the extent permitted under these QuickBooks Payments Terms) if the cardholder seeking to use the card does not present the card to permit you to examine it and obtain an imprint or otherwise use the physical card to complete the transaction. Your Return Policy; Adjustments, Credit Vouchers. You agree to post your exchange or return policy in accordance with applicable Rules. If any of the following are applicable when merchandise is returned, you must disclose it to your customers before a payment transaction is processed: (a) no refund, or less than a full refund, will be given; (b) returned merchandise will only be exchanged for similar merchandise of comparable value; (c) only a credit toward purchases will be given; or (iv) special conditions or circumstances apply to the sale (e.g., late delivery, charges, or other noncredit terms). Disclosures must be made on all receipt copies in letters approximately 1/4″ high in close proximity to the space provided for the customer’s or payor’s signature on the sales or transaction receipt, and issued at the time of sale. If you do not make these disclosures, a full refund in the form of a credit to the customer’s or payor’s account must be given. You agree not to refund cash to a customer or payor who paid for the item by card. You must provide a credit to the same card on which the original transaction was processed. If you accept any goods for return or terminate or cancel any services, in conjunction with each such transaction, you agree to have sufficient funds in your Merchant, Reserve, or Bank Accounts to which we have access to cover the amount of the transaction and any related fees. Proper Electronic and Customer Authorization; Customer Receipts. You must obtain electronic authorization for all credit and debit card transactions. If you cannot, for any reason, obtain an electronic authorization, you must request a voice authorization from a designated authorization center, and legibly print the authorization number on the customer receipt and on your copy of the receipt. You may not attempt to obtain an electronic authorization on an expired credit or debit card. All transactions using an expired or otherwise invalid card may not be processed and the transaction will be deemed invalid. You agree to use reasonable efforts to retain or recover a card when receiving instructions upon making a request for an electronic authorization to retain a customer’s card. In carrying out such obligation, you agree not to breach the peace or cause any injury to any cardholder, person, or property. You must also obtain a customer’s or payor’s authorization via methods acceptable to us and in accordance with the Rules prior to completing any card or payment transaction. You must follow any instructions received during the authorization process. Upon receipt of authorization, you may consummate only the transaction authorized. Where authorization is obtained, you will be deemed to have warranted the true identity of the customer as the cardholder, check writer, or payor. Transactions will be deemed invalid on cards that are expired whether or not an authorization has been obtained. Authorizations are not a guarantee of acceptance or payment of a transaction and do not waive any provision of this Agreement or otherwise validate a fraudulent transaction or a transaction involving the use of an expired card or other payment instrument. We may refuse to authorize any transaction, and we are not liable to you if authorization for a transaction is not given. You will not have any claim against, or right to receive payment from a cardholder, payor, or customer in any payment transaction if we refuse to authorize the transaction for any reason. You further agree to deliver to a customer, cardholder, or payor at the time of the transaction a complete and legible receipt from a payment transaction or refund. You must retain the merchant copy of the receipt in accordance with the applicable Rules and information security and confidentiality requirements for at least three (3) years following the date of completion of a card or other payment transaction (or a longer period if the Rules require). Records; Requests for Copies. You must retain a copy of all customer receipts and return/credit receipts for at least three (3) years after the date of a payment transaction. Within three (3) business days of your receipt of any written or verbal request by our sponsor bank, our card or payment network, or us, you agree to provide a copy of any requested transaction receipt. Your failure to deliver the requested documentation in the required timeframe may result in the transaction in question being charged back or us refusing to process said transaction. Policy Violations; Action Upon Termination for Cause. If Intuit incurs any damages because you violate our policies, this Agreement or any other applicable terms or agreement between you and Intuit, the Rules, any applicable laws, or otherwise cause Intuit to incur any expenses, we may terminate this Agreement and: (a) hold your funds up to two hundred and seventy (270) days and (b) take legal action against you to recover additional losses, investigation costs, fines, or legal fees we may incur. You acknowledge and agree that a fine of U.S. $2,500.00 (“Set Damages”) for violations of our Agreement is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of Intuit’s damages. This Set Damages amount is only applicable where Intuit is not fined or charged a penalty or fine by a third party for your violations; where Intuit is fined or charged a penalty or fine by a third party, Intuit may pass on those fines or penalties to you. Intuit may deduct the Set Damages and any fines, penalties, and fees directly from any existing balance in your Merchant Account, Bank Account, or Reserve Account. Data Security (PCI Compliance); Payor/Cardholder Personal Information. The card networks (such as VISA and MasterCard) and the payment networks (such as the National Automated Clearing House Association or “NACHA”) have similar standards for protecting sensitive payment information and cardholder or payor data. For example, the Payment Cards Industry Data Security Standards (“PCI DSS”) define the requirements that all entities that store, process, or transmit payment card data must comply with. You must ensure you have data security policies and processes in place to protect cardholder and payor payment and personal data in compliance with PCI DSS and NACHA security requirements. You must keep all systems and media containing account, customer, or transaction information (physical or electronic, including but not limited to account numbers and card imprints) in a secure manner to prevent access by or disclosure to anyone other than your authorized personnel. You must destroy in a manner that will render the data unreadable all personal data subject to NACHA or PCI DSS standards and such media that you no longer deem necessary or appropriate to store (except for receipts maintained in accordance with this Agreement, laws, Rules, and policies). Further, you must take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure cardholder or payor payment information is not disclosed or otherwise misused. You may not require a cardholder to complete a postcard or similar document that includes the cardholder’s account number, card expiration date, signature, or any other cardholder account data in plain view when mailed. You may not retain or store magnetic stripe or CVV2, CVC2, or CID data after authorization. You agree that in the event of a breach, unauthorized access or compromise of payor or cardholder data, you will immediately notify us and provide us with detailed information relating to the breach or compromise. You may not request or use a cardholder or payor account number for any purpose other than as payment for good or services rendered. You may not require cardholders to provide any personal information as a condition of honoring a card unless such information is required for delivery of the goods or services, or you have reason to believe that the person presenting a card may not be the actual cardholder. You agree that any service providers you may use for accessing, storing, transmitting, and processing cardholder data on behalf of Intuit, or any service provider you may use that controls or could impact the security of cardholder data, must be registered as authorized agents and Intuit must be notified of them. Furthermore, all agents must acknowledge compliance with PCI DSS. Additionally, if you receive a user identification name or password from us to access our database or use QuickBooks Payments (the “Account Access Password”), you will: (a) keep the Account Access Password confidential; (b) not allow any other entity or person to use the Account Access Password or gain access to our database; (c) be liable for all action taken by any user of the Account Access Password and indemnify Intuit for all claims brought by a third party against Intuit with regard to use of the Account Access Password; and (d) promptly notify us if you believe the Account Access Password has been used inappropriately, or the confidentiality of the information made available through such use has been compromised. You agree that any loss incurred as a result of any party gaining access to your Bank Account or our website using information which that party was not authorized to obtain or using such information in a manner not permitted by this Agreement (including but not limited to improper or unauthorized use of the Account Access Password) shall be your responsibility. Your Insolvency; Bankruptcy. You must immediately notify us of your insolvency or of any bankruptcy, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or similar action or proceeding initiated by or against you, whether or not such action or proceeding is under court supervision. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we have the right to terminate this Agreement upon the commencement of any such of these actions or proceedings, or upon your insolvency. You will include us on the list and matrix of creditors as filed with the Bankruptcy Court or as filed or submitted in any other insolvency-related action or proceeding, whether or not a claim by us may exist at the time of filing or commencement of such proceeding; failure to do so will also be cause for immediate termination of this Agreement or for any other action available to us under this Agreement, under applicable Rules, or under applicable law.

Under the PSP and One Point programs, processing, settlement, and billing activities will be Intuit’s sole responsibility unless you have entered into a Commercial Entity Agreement directly with American Express. Under the ESA program, processing, settlement, and billing activities will be American Express’ sole responsibility. You agree that at any time, now or in the future, we may convert merchants processing under the ESA program to any American Express program wherein Intuit manages and retains control of all processing, settlement, and billing functions for all American Express card transactions you process. American Express’s Use of Your Personal Information: You acknowledge and agree that American Express (including its affiliates, agents, subcontractors, and employees) may use your information to perform their obligations under this Agreement, to promote or market their brand and/or services, to perform analytics and create reports, to screen and/or monitor your transactions for marketing, for compliance and administrative purposes, or for any other lawful business purpose.

Merchant agrees to abide the American Express Merchant Operating Guide applicable to the Merchant’s region, including the limitation of liability set forth therein, which such guide is incorporated by reference into these QuickBooks Payments Terms. American Express’ Right to Enforce these QuickBooks Payments Terms. You acknowledge and agree that American Express is a third party beneficiary with the right, but not the obligation, to enforce the terms of these Merchant Payment Terms against you, solely with respect to American Express transactions. Pin/Pinless Debit Card Processing * Network. We reserve the right to determine which network we use to process all your transactions. Depending on the network that we select, any rewards, points, or benefits you would receive associated with a particular card or network may vary. We are not responsible for providing you or your customers with any rewards, points, or benefits from any transaction. * Your Obligations for PIN Debit. Unless otherwise authorized by Intuit, you agree to use Intuit system compatible terminals, PIN pads, or systems capable of processing all ACH debit card transactions, as well as online debit card transactions. You are solely responsible for all paper copies of debit card transactions in accordance with the applicable Rules. Within one (1) business day of the transaction date, you agree to balance each location to the system for each business day that such location is open. You agree you are solely responsible for all telephone costs, if any, which may be incurred by you for the debit card services, as well as expenses related to installation of and training in the use of terminals. You agree that you are responsible for entering data correctly. If an entry is made incorrectly, we will use reasonable efforts to assist you in correcting the entry, but cannot guarantee it will be corrected. * PIN Security. You are prohibited from requesting PIN numbers verbally or in writing as a condition of a sale. You may not document or retain PIN numbers. You agree to position POS terminals so that PIN entries cannot be reasonably viewed by third parties. You may use PIN entry shielding devices. You are prohibited from using security cameras to view the PIN pad. The operational placement and use of the Tamper Resistant Security Module (“TRSM”) must be within its intended physical and logical environment. POS terminals designed for indoor use are not suitable for outdoor use. The modification of TRSMs from their original manufactured specifications must be restrained. Electronic Check Services/Check Processing * Service Description. You may use the Electronic Check Services to automate the processing of original paper checks you receive from your customers (i.e. payors) for payment of goods or services sold or provided by you. Intuit will submit such checks or electronic images thereof (each an “Item”) to a check clearing system and will deliver the collected funds to your Bank Account. * Establishing Service. You are responsible for obtaining the necessary hardware and software needed to use our Electronic Check Services, and agree to use only such hardware and software approved by Intuit. We will provide you with certain software you will need to process checks using our Electronic Check Services. If you request software for equipment not provided by us, we at our sole discretion, may elect to fulfill such request. You agree that we are not responsible for any damages incurred by you or any third party as a result of any failure of electronic check processing equipment or hardware. You agree to comply with customer notifications regarding electronic check processing by complying with our policies and any instructions provided in customer welcome kits, including posting of notification decals. * Eligible Checks; Restrictions. You agree only to submit “Eligible Checks” to us for processing. To be an “Eligible Check,” a check submitted to us for processing must (except as permitted by the Rules): (a) be drawn on a payor or check writer’s personal or business account (and must not be drawn on your named account or an account otherwise controlled by you or an affiliate); (b) be drawn on a U.S. financial institution in U.S. currency; (c) be a first-party check made payable to you; (d) not have been previously negotiated; (e) not have been previously voided; and (f) contain a pre-numbered serial number. You acknowledge and agree that credit card convenience checks, starter checks, traveler’s checks, payroll checks, and third party checks are not “Eligible Checks.” Even if a check is an Eligible Check, we may, at our sole discretion, decline to accept a check for processing. Before submitting a check for processing using Electronic Check Services, you agree to endorse the check with the legend “For Deposit Only.” You agree you will only create check images and submit Items from locations in the United States. You further agree all checks must be in U.S. dollars and drawn on a bank in the United States. For each electronic image of a check, all information from the front and back of the check, including the MICR information and payment amount, must be accurate and legible as of the time of conversion to an electronic image. You agree to use key entry, as necessary, to correct any errors so that the electronic information submitted is accurate. You agree you will not redeposit any item previously transmitted by you with Intuit or any other bank and will employ commercially reasonable security measures and firewalls sufficient to protect data transmissions and storage to ensure no unauthorized access or duplicate presentment of checks. * Settlement. Intuit will credit your Merchant Account for cleared checks generally within two (2) business days of our receipt of payment if checks are submitted by a specific cut-off time. Settlement of checks using Electronic Check Services may take longer, for example, due to operational and clearing system delays, risk investigations, and other factors. You authorize us to submit ACH debits against your Merchant Account for any Item that was previously paid and later returned or dishonored, plus any fees or other amounts owed by you under these QuickBooks Payments Terms. * Your Rights to Additional Representations and Warranties for Electronic Check Services. You agree that once an electronic image of a check is transferred to us, you will no longer have any rights with regard to the check, provided however that if a check for which you have been paid is subsequently dishonored or reversed, you will then retain the rights to the original check. You represent and warrant that no person will receive a transfer, presentment, or return of, or otherwise be charged for, a check (either the original check, or electronic or other representation of the original check) such that a payor will be asked to make payment based on a check that has already been paid. You agree to waive all rights to bring a claim, including without limitation, a claim of conversion against Intuit, our sponsor bank, or third-party agents for checks submitted for processing. * Implied Termination of Electronic Check Services. If you do not use the Electronic Check Services for a period of sixty (60) days or more, you may be required to re-qualify for continuation of Electronic Check Services. ACH Represent Services * Service Description. Intuit will resubmit for payment to you all returns or reversals that result from insufficient funds or uncollected funds. If we successfully collect on a re-initiated check transaction, we will remit the face amount of the collected check transaction to you within five (5) days of re-initiation. If an ACH Representment Service transaction that we have funded is subsequently reversed, we will reverse any payment we previously made to you and you will be liable to us for such amount. * Not a Guarantee of Payment. You understand and agree that payment of returns does not constitute a guarantee and that the check writer has the right to contest the check transaction. Gift Card Services * Description of Service. The services described below (the “Gift Card Service”) enables electronic processing of gift card transactions and purchases made by a payor who holds an approved gift card (“Gift Card”). For the avoidance of doubt, you, and not Intuit, are the issuer of any Gift Card and are solely responsible for maintaining Gift Card funds. We will use the Intuit electronic Gift Card processing system (“Gift Card System”) to electronically confirm that a Gift Card presented to you is an active account and has sufficient funds to pay for a purchase. You understand and agree that an electronic authorization by us indicates only the availability of sufficient value on a Gift Card at the time of authorization and does not guarantee payment. Intuit will enable electronic debiting and crediting of a payor’s Gift Card account when value is added or deleted to the payor’s Gift Card account. Intuit will maintain an accessible electronic record of transactions. We will provide to and accept from you all information and data reasonably required from time to time in connection with the Gift Card Services. * Your Obligations. You agree to accept for processing any transaction initiated by a customer using a Gift Card without discrimination of the customer or terminal where the transaction was initiated. You agree to exchange Gift Cards for cash when required under applicable law. You agree to obtain, operate, and maintain the card terminal at your own expense. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of all data transmitted by it or on its behalf for processing by or storage of information on the Gift Card System. You agree to maintain sufficient “back-up” information and data to reconstruct any information or data loss due to any system malfunction and for reconciling your records with our reports and to promptly notify us of any discrepancies. You are responsible for all costs relating to the sale and distribution of Gift Cards and for associated marketing or advertising. You agree to assume all risk of loss, theft, alteration or damage to, or fraudulent, improper, or unauthorized use of any Gift Card terminal upon the time of delivery of Gift Cards ordered through us or if ordered through a third party (with our consent), and to indemnify Intuit against any related third-party claims. * No Surcharge. You agree not to charge your customers increased fees, surcharges, or any other premiums for a Gift Card transaction, for a customer’s use of a POS terminal, or for the operation of the system unless such surcharges are permitted by applicable laws or regulations. * Your Right to Termination. You may terminate the Gift Card Services if the operation and administration of the Gift Card System is determined to be illegal by any applicable judicial or regulatory authority. However, you will not be entitled to a refund of any fees, charges, or other amounts paid to Intuit and any refunds or Chargebacks arising from the unused portion of a Gift Card after termination are your sole and exclusive responsibility. You are also solely responsible for notifying your customers of any balance owed to the customer by you. * Gift Card System Downtime. You understand and agree that in the event the Gift Card System is not able to verify transactions, Intuit will not process transactions. You accept sole responsibility for any transactions you authorize under such circumstances. You will indemnify and hold Intuit harmless from and against any and all damages, loss, liability, consequential damage, expense, claim, or obligation arising in connection with unauthorized transactions. Payments Dispute Protection Payments Dispute Protection (“PDP”) is a service that covers you for any type of payment dispute that your customer initiates through its card issuer, commonly referred to as a chargeback, associated with a credit or debit card transaction on the American Express, Discover, Mastercard or Visa networks and that was processed by QuickBooks Payments while you were enrolled in PDP (“Covered Dispute”). This includes transactions processed through any payment channel that uses Intuit’s payment rails, including those outside of QuickBooks Online (for example, Merchant Service Center, GoPayments and partner applications that use Intuit’s payment rails). A Covered Dispute does not include a payment dispute that is: * Presented to you or Intuit directly by your customer (i.e., not through their card issuer as a chargeback) * Received when you are not enrolled in PDP, even if the original transaction was processed by QuickBooks Payments while you were enrolled in PDP * Related to a transaction: (1) not processed by QuickBooks Payments; (2) processed by QuickBooks Payments before your enrollment in PDP (even if the payment dispute arises during your enrollment in PDP); (3) processed over a card network other than those identified above; or (4) that does not involve a credit or debit card processed by QuickBooks Payments, such as ACH, wire or PayPal Other payment dispute eligibility requirements apply as further described in these PDP terms. You cannot enroll in PDP for a specific transaction or payment dispute. Enrollment. To be eligible for PDP, you must be domiciled in the US (even if a Covered Dispute involves a non-US customer) and registered with QuickBooks Payments. You must remain registered with QuickBooks Payments, and on the same QuickBooks Payments pricing plan, in order to remain eligible for PDP. Only the primary administrator of your QuickBooks account can enroll you in PDP, and only the primary administrator can cancel your enrollment. Additional enrollment conditions or requirements may apply based on merchant risk and other factors. If you do not satisfy your enrollment conditions or requirements throughout your enrollment in PDP, your enrollment in PDP may be terminated. If you enroll in PDP after 3 PM PT on any given calendar day (“Enrollment Day”), then any payment dispute related to a transaction processed by QuickBooks Payments prior to 3 PM PT on your Enrollment Day will not be covered by PDP. If you enroll in PDP before 3 PM PT on your Enrollment Day, then any payment dispute related to a transaction processed by QuickBooks Payments from 3 pm PT of the day prior to your Enrollment Day, will be deemed a Covered Dispute. Coverage Limits. Each Covered Dispute is subject to a per-payment dispute coverage limit of $10,000 (“Per-Dispute Coverage Limit”). The annual coverage limit for all Covered Disputes received on a rolling 365-day period is $25,000 (“Annual Coverage Limit”). If the amount of a Covered Dispute is greater than the Per Dispute Coverage Limit or any remaining balance under the Annual Coverage Limit, PDP will cover the Covered Dispute up to the lesser available coverage limit and you will be responsible for the remaining amount of the Covered Dispute. If a Covered Dispute is received and you do not have any remaining balance under the Annual Coverage Limit, PDP will not cover that Covered Dispute and you will be responsible for the entire Covered Dispute amount. We reserve the right to not cover an otherwise eligible Covered Dispute if we have determined that (1) you are in breach of Intuit’s Terms of Service, Commercial Entity Merchant Agreement, or these PDP terms; (2) you are processing primarily high-risk transactions on QuickBooks Payments while processing primarily lower-risk transactions through other merchant service providers; or (3) you are attempting to defraud Intuit in any way or are otherwise using any Intuit service, including PDP, for fraudulent purposes. Transaction Fee. You will be charged based on a percentage of the transaction amount associated with a potential Covered Dispute, whether or not such Covered Dispute ever arises (“Transaction Fee”). The Transaction Fee is non-refundable and may be different for each merchant based on various factors as determined by Intuit in its sole discretion. We will tell you your Transaction Fee when you enroll in PDP. We reserve the right to change the Transaction Fee at any time, and will notify you in advance of such changes. Unenrolling from PDP. You can unenroll from PDP at any time by going to “Payments,” under “Account and Settings,” in your QuickBooks Online account. Any payment dispute received after you unenroll from PDP will not be covered by PDP, even if the associated transaction was processed while you were enrolled in PDP. After unenrolling, if you decide to re-enroll in PDP, you will only receive coverage for transactions processed after the new enrollment date. However, your Annual Coverage Limit at the time you re-enroll will be determined based on the total amount of Covered Disputes received within the last 365 days while you were previously enrolled in PDP, regardless of your new enrollment date. Your Right to Challenge Disputes. PDP only mitigates the financial impact that a Covered Dispute may have on you. PDP does not protect you against other consequences of a payment dispute, including those associated with excessive payment disputes. For example, some card networks may choose to investigate merchants with high dispute (or “excessive chargeback”) rates, which can result in higher fees or removal from a network. For this reason, you may want to challenge a payment dispute even if covered by PDP. In some cases, we may elect to challenge a Covered Dispute on your behalf. In such cases, you authorize us to communicate with third parties (including the applicable card network or card issuer) for this purpose, which may include sharing information about you or the underlying transaction with such third parties. You agree to provide us with any evidence and assistance as we may request in order to help us challenge the Covered Dispute. If you or we choose to challenge a Covered Dispute and are successful, you assign to us the right to the recovered amount of the Covered Dispute. Where PDP paid for only a portion of a Covered Dispute, we will retain only the covered portion of the recovered amount and will remit to you any remainder of the recovered amount. You will not receive a refund of any Transaction Fee even if a Covered Dispute is successfully challenged and funds recovered from the card issuer. Regardless of whether you or we successfully challenge a Covered Dispute, or how much you or we recover from a card issuer, your Annual Coverage Limit will not be affected. Termination. We reserve the right to terminate your enrollment in PDP, or the PDP program, for any reason and in our sole discretion, including if: * You have been placed under a fraud or financial risk review * You have canceled your QuickBooks Payments account * You are being investigated by QuickBooks Payments or any card network for a high dispute or excessive chargeback rate * You have failed to adhere to the Intuit best practices to manage fraudulent transactions that typically result in payment disputes * You no longer meet the PDP eligibility requirements during your enrollment in PDP * You are processing primarily high-risk transactions on QuickBooks Payments while processing primarily lower-risk transactions through other merchant service providers * You are attempting to defraud Intuit in any way or are otherwise using any Intuit service, including PDP, for fraudulent purposes * You are otherwise in breach of these PDP Terms, these Terms of Service, or any other agreement with us O.

Additionally, we may continue to contact you to see if there are other financial solutions that might interest you.

QuickBooks Business Network The QuickBooks Business Network is a Service that provides you with the ability to connect with other QuickBooks customers, making it easier to complete transactions with other QuickBooks customers. You may be added to the QuickBooks Business Network if you are a QuickBooks Online subscriber or a QuickBooks Money user. With the QuickBooks Business Network, QuickBooks customers, may search for you, such as, by business name, and you may be able to search for other QuickBooks customers. You can receive requests from other QuickBooks customers to connect with them and you may be able to request to connect with other QuickBooks customers. Once connected, you and the QuickBooks customer will be able to view each other's business information, including without limitation company name and legal business name, business city, province/state and zip (or equivalent) code, logo, business phone number, business email address and business website address that is associated with your QuickBooks account (collectively “Business Information”). By agreeing to connect with another QuickBooks customer, you authorize us to share your Business Information with that QuickBooks customer. You are responsible for ensuring your Business Information is accurate and complete. You can change or update your Business Information, and make other changes to your QuickBooks Business Network settings through your Account Settings. There are two general categories of QuickBooks Business Network members: * A "Listed Network Member" will be able to use the QuickBooks Business Network to connect with other QuickBooks customers and automatically provide connections with certain business information, to send and receive pay-enabled invoices to and from other QuickBooks customers and for Bill Pay Service (defined below in Part V) users, to streamline payments through the Bill Pay Service with Payable Network Members. * A "Payable Network Member" will have access to certain functionality available to Listed Network Members, but will also be able to receive Bill Payments (defined below in Part V) in the bank account provided by such member directly through the Bill Pay Service from payors with whom such member has established a connection. The terms in Subpart I of this Part S apply to QuickBooks Online subscribers only; the terms in Subpart II of this Part S apply to QuickBooks Money users only; the terms in Subpart III of this Part S apply to Payable Network Members only, regardless of whether they are QuickBooks Online subscribers or QuickBooks Money users; and the terms in Subpart IV of this Part S apply to all QuickBooks Business Network members. Part I: QuickBooks Online Subscribers: * Availability. After you create a QuickBooks account and subscribe to QuickBooks Online, as long as your primary address on file is within the United States or the District of Columbia, you will be automatically added to the QuickBooks Business Network and can begin to use the QuickBooks Business Network in accordance with these terms. If you are added to the QuickBooks Business Network as a Listed Network Member, you may eventually become a Payable Network Member, subject to certain eligibility criteria. * Changing your Visibility in the QuickBooks Business Network. If you no longer want to be visible in the QuickBooks Business Network, you can change your visibility settings through your Account Setting using this link here. Doing so will not affect your access or rights to your QuickBooks account. Turning your visibility off in the QuickBooks Business Network will not disconnect you from previously connected QuickBooks customers, and those connected QuickBooks customers may have saved you, and any of your Business Information, as a local contact in their QuickBooks account, and thus continue to have access to your information. * When you close your QuickBooks account. If you close your QuickBooks Online account or terminate your QuickBooks Online subscription, you will no longer have access to the QuickBooks Business Network as a QuickBooks Online user, nor will you be visible to other QuickBooks customers and your connections with other QuickBooks customers will be canceled. A previously connected QuickBooks customer may have saved you, and any of your Business Information, as a local contact in their QuickBooks account, and in such case, they may continue to have access to your information. If you have both a QuickBooks Online subscription and a QuickBooks Money account and you terminate only your QuickBooks Online subscription, you may still appear in the QuickBooks Business Network as a QuickBooks Money user and your connections may remain in place. Part II: QuickBooks Money Users: * Availability. If you are added to the QuickBooks Business Network as a Listed Network Member, you may eventually become a Payable Network Member, subject to certain eligibility criteria. If you create a QuickBooks Money account, you may be automatically added to the QuickBooks Business Network upon account creation or you may be added at a later date. If you are added to the QuickBooks Business Network as a Listed Network Member, you may eventually become a Payable Network Member, subject to certain eligibility criteria. You may also become a Payable Network Member of the QuickBooks Business Network through QuickBooks Money via invitation, subject to certain eligibility criteria and background checks. If you become a member of the QuickBooks Business Network, certain provisions in Part S apply to you, as indicated therein. * Visibility in the QuickBooks Business Network. As a QuickBooks Money user, you do not have the option to change your visibility settings and you will remain visible to other QuickBooks Business Network members unless you request to delete your account data in Account Settings. Please note that once your account data is deleted, it cannot be retrieved and you will lose all of your network connections. Deletion of your account data will also impact other Intuit products and/or services. Other QuickBooks customers may have saved you, and any of your Business Information, as a local contact in their QuickBooks account, and thus would continue to have access to your information. Part III: Payable Network Members: * Eligibility. Becoming a Payable Network Member is subject to certain eligibility criteria, including, without limitation, that you have a primary address on file that is within the United States or the District of Columbia. You may receive an invite to apply to become a Payable Network Member or sign up to become a Payable Network Member, but this does not necessarily mean that you are eligible to be a Payable Network Member. Intuit may update the eligibility criteria for new Payable Network Member membership from time to time as it makes updates to the Platform. In order to become a Payable Network Member, you must provide certain information we request, including bank account information for receipt of ACH payments via the Bill Pay Service. You authorize Intuit and its service providers to run background checks to verify your eligibility including your bank account and other information that you provide. You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information that you provide regardless of any verification processes in which Intuit may engage. * Connecting with other QuickBooks customers. If you received an invitation to become a Payable Network Member that was prompted by a Payor (as defined in the Bill Pay Terms) who has scheduled a Bill Payment with you, then once you are a Payable Network Member, you will automatically be connected with that Payor. Any other connections occur as set forth above. By connecting with another QuickBooks customer (whether automatically in accordance with this paragraph or by accepting a connection request), you authorize us to share your Business Contact Information with that QuickBooks customer. * Receipt of Bill Payments. Once you are connected with a QuickBooks Online customer, and as long as you remain connected, any Bill Payment that such customer (the “Payor”) sends to you as the payee via the Bill Pay Service will be routed as an ACH payment to the verified bank account you have designated in your QuickBooks Business Network profile to receive the payment. You will be able to see and track the status of incoming Bill Payments from a Payor in your QuickBooks Money account. You will also receive electronic communications regarding such Bill Payment, and you authorize us to send such communications to you. We will provide you with an estimated delivery date for when you may receive the Bill Payment. Estimated delivery dates are provided for your convenience only and are not guaranteed. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the estimated delivery date, but we do not represent or guarantee that you will receive any Bill Payment on such estimated delivery date or any date. A Bill Payment may be delayed by various factors, including payment reviews initiated by us (see “Bill Payment Review” below) and other factors outside our control. You agree that we will have no liability if you do not receive a Bill Payment or it is received after the estimated delivery date. In order to receive incoming payments, you must provide accurate bank account information and keep your bank account information up-to-date. You may only change or update your bank account information from your Network Profile. * Bill Payment review. To prevent fraud and comply with our legal obligations, we may ask for additional information from you and/or from third parties in connection with your receipt of a Bill Payment. During the review process, we may temporarily limit or restrict your ability to receive a Bill Payment for as long as reasonably required to conduct an appropriate investigation or inquiry regarding you, the Payor, the Bill Payment, and any other relevant circumstances and factors. We may also temporarily decline to accept or process any Bill Payment scheduled by a Payor for you. You acknowledge that our ability to efficiently and effectively review a Bill Payment depends on your cooperation and/or the cooperation of others, including the Payor, and if you and the other necessary parties do not cooperate with our review process in a timely manner, the Bill Payment may be delayed or declined. You agree that we will not be liable for any liability, loss or damage due to delayed, incomplete, or insufficient responses from you. Part IV: Both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Money Users: 1.

You and your Additional Client User(s) are jointly and severally responsible for paying your Additional Client User(s) subscription fees, including amounts due to any 3rd parties. Your Additional Client User(s) is/are solely responsible for paying all amounts debited against their account (e.g., payments to the contractors, NSF fees, account closure fees, or reversal fees charged by a bank).

QuickBooks Bill Pay The QuickBooks Bill Pay service (the “Bill Pay Service”) allows eligible QuickBooks Online customers (as “Payors”) to make and schedule payments (each, a “Bill Payment”) to vendors, suppliers and other recipients (as “Payees”). Your use of and access to any content, applications and features offered as part of the Bill Pay Service, an Ancillary Payment Service within Intuit’s Money Movement Services, is governed by the terms in this Part V and all terms that apply to the Money Movement Services (collectively, the “Bill Pay Terms”). You warrant and represent that you will use the Bill Pay Service solely for the payment of goods or services for business purposes, and will not request any Bill Payment for personal, family, or household purposes. Administrators and Additional Users. You may designate certain QuickBooks Online users as “Administrators” and “Additional Users” of your QuickBooks Online account, and you agree and acknowledge that actions undertaken by Administrators or Additional Users are fully authorized by you and that such users will have the authority to (i) add or modify your Funding Sources (as defined below in Establishing and Selecting a Funding Source); (ii) designate a Funding Source for a Bill Payment; and (iii) schedule Bill Payments. Only Administrators may add or remove Additional Users. Unauthorized use of the Bill Pay Service and/or your QuickBooks Online account (including but not limited to, misuse of passwords or misuse of any other information) is strictly prohibited and will result in suspension and/or termination of your ability to use the Bill Pay Service and/or your QuickBooks Online account. You will notify us immediately if you believe that someone is using your QuickBooks Online account or the Bill Pay Service without your permission. We will process any Bill Payment that we believe was initiated by you, any Administrator or any Additional User (collectively, “you”), and you agree that we will not incur any liability for doing so. Establishing and Selecting a Funding Source. In order to make a Bill Payment, you must: (i) link an eligible bank account (such as a QuickBooks checking account), or such other payment method that we may accept from time to time (the “Funding Source”) to your QuickBooks Online account; (ii) designate any of your linked Funding Sources to pay a specific Bill Payment; and (iii) select a corresponding QuickBooks Online payment account to track your payment information. At this time, we only accept eligible bank accounts issued from or located within the U.S. as a Funding Source. We may add or remove acceptable Funding Sources at any time without notice. When you select a Funding Source in the Bill Pay Service, you will be asked to select a corresponding QuickBooks Online payment account in order to sync and track your payment information accurately in your QuickBooks Online account. You must select the same QuickBooks Online payment account as your Funding Source. If you do not select the same account, your QuickBooks Online account may not correctly reflect your bill payment information. You can add or change your Funding Source at any time before scheduling your Bill Payment. You can remove a Funding Source in your QuickBooks Online account. When you designate a Funding Source, we may verify whether the Funding Source is valid and has sufficient credit or funds. If we cannot verify your Funding Source, you must designate a new Funding Source in order to use the Bill Pay Service. Whenever a Funding Source is linked to your QuickBooks Online account or designated as a Funding Source for a specific Bill Payment, you certify and warrant that: (i) you have the authority to use the Funding Source and authorize transactions to/from such Funding Source in connection with the Bill Payment, (ii) you have the authority to bind the person or organization under whose authority you are acting in connection with the Bill Payment, (iii) any Bill Payment executed by us (including the corresponding debit or charge credit performed by the financial institution that administers the Funding Source) in accordance with your Payment Instructions (as defined below in Accuracy of Payment Instructions) provided to the Bill Pay Service shall be deemed an authorized transaction; and (iv) such Funding Source was opened or established primarily for business purposes and not primarily for personal, family or household purposes. You agree at all times to keep your Funding Source information accurate and up-to-date. You will maintain sufficient credit or funds to satisfy all Bill Payments on their Withdrawal Dates, and you agree to add credit and/or funds immediately if we notify you that your Funding Source has insufficient credit or funds. We may receive updated information about your Funding Source directly from your Funding Source provider (such as your bank or other financial institution), and you agree that we may automatically update and use such updated Funding Source information for any pending or future Bill Payments. In addition to any other applicable terms set by your Funding Source provider (including the applicability or inapplicability of any rewards or interest rates), you agree that you are solely responsible for any fees (such as cash advance fees or overdraft fees) that your Funding Source provider may charge you for using such Funding Source in connection with the Bill Pay Service. Selecting a Payee. When scheduling a Bill Payment, you may choose as a Payee: * An existing QuickBooks Business Network member who has provided approved bank account information to receive Bill Payments directly through the Bill Pay Service and with whom you have established a connection through your QuickBooks Online account (a “Payable Network Member”); or * Any other Payee permitted by this Part V (a “Standard Payee”). For all Standard Payees, you must provide all information necessary to correctly identify the Payee and for us to process a payment to the Payee including, as applicable, the Payee’s identity/name, address (for delivery of checks), bank routing and account number (for ACH payments), and any other additional information which we may require to process the Bill Payment (collectively, “Payee Information”). By providing Payee Information, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary authorizations or consents from the Payee to share such information with us. It is your responsibility to confirm that all Payee Information is accurate and complete. In order to schedule a Bill Payment to a Payable Network Member, you may select the Payable Network Member from your connections list in your QuickBooks Online account. All Bill Payments sent to the selected Payable Network Member are sent to the bank account designated by that Payee. The Payable Network Member will be able to see and receive status updates on Bill Payments you have scheduled to them. When you select a Payable Network Member, you are responsible for selecting the correct Payee and verifying that the Payee Information provided to you is correct. Intuit is not liable for any liabilities, loss or damages that may arise due to your selection of the incorrect Payee. You represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary authorizations and consents from the Payee to invite the Payee to join the QuickBooks Business Network as a Payable Network Member and initiate a Bill Payment to the Payee, as applicable. In addition, when you invite the Payee to join the QuickBooks Business Network or schedule a Bill Payment to a Standard Payee, you authorize us to send communications to such Payee regarding the invite or payment (including to invite such Payee to join the QuickBooks Business Network and become a Payable Network Member if such Payee is eligible). You represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary authorizations and consents from such Standard Payee for us to send such communications. If this invited Payee is eligible to become a Payable Network Member, they can apply and provide their preferred bank account information to receive incoming Bill Payments directly to such account. If Intuit qualifies such Payee to become a Payable Network Member, such Payee will automatically be connected with you in the QuickBooks Business Network and will become a Payable Network Member at that time. The Bill Pay Service does not support payments to all types of payees. For example, you may not send a Bill Payment to payees outside of the U.S. or to certain government agencies for certain types of payments (such as tax payments or certain court-ordered payments). At our sole discretion, we reserve the right to refuse to make payments to any Payee at any time regardless of whether we initially accepted the scheduling of a Bill Payment, in which case we will endeavor to notify you using commercially reasonable practices. In addition, when you send a Bill Payment, the Payee is not obligated or required to accept such payment. We have no responsibility regarding your interactions, obligations or agreements with your Payees, including but not limited to payment terms, the proper and timely delivery of goods or services, or any associated liability (including disputes, refunds, returns, chargebacks, invoicing errors or other questions about your bill or Bill Payment) which may arise. You acknowledge that your use of the Bill Pay Services does not alter or affect your agreement with any Payee, including payment terms, deadlines, fees or/and refunds. We do not endorse, recommend, or bear any responsibility or liability for any products, services or information provided by a Payee. Choosing a Method of Payment to Payee. For each Bill Payment, you must select the method by which a Payee will be paid (“Payment Method”). The type of Payment Method that a Payee is eligible to receive may depend on whether the Payee is an In-Network Payee or Out-of-Network Payee. We may add or remove available Payment Methods at any time without notice and without any liability. We will let you know what Payment Method(s) are available for a particular Payee at the time you schedule a Bill Payment. Bank Payment (ACH). If you select “Bank Payment (ACH)” as the Payment Method, we will remit the Bill Payment to the Payee as an electronic ACH credit to the Payee’s bank account you provided for a Standard Payee or that the Payable Network Member provided, in each case, in accordance with the Payment Instructions (as defined below in Accuracy of Payment Instructions) and the rules established by Nacha (the “Nacha Rules”). You agree to comply with all applicable Nacha Rules including, but not limited to, the Nacha Rules regarding you acting as an Originator (as defined by the Nacha Rules). You are responsible for all claims, demands, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) that result directly or indirectly from your failure to perform your obligations under the Nacha Rules and you agree to indemnify us for the same. Checks. If you select “Check” as the Payment Method, we will mail a paper check to the Payee’s mailing address you provided or selected. The paper check will contain the applicable Payment Instructions, including any notes enabling the Payee to match the Bill Payment to a specific invoice. In addition to the paper check, we may include solicitation materials about us and our Services, including the Bill Pay Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Payable Network Member may elect to receive a Bill Payment via ACH instead of via paper check, in which case, we will process the Bill Payment as an ACH payment and will only charge you for any fees that correspond to the ACH payment method for such Bill Payment. A Payee’s election to change the Payment Method for a Bill Payment does not change the Bill Payment’s Withdrawal Date. Scheduling a Bill Payment. When you schedule Bill Payment, you must select (i) a Payment Method and (ii) an available date on which we will debit your Funding Source (“Withdrawal Date”) in order to initiate payment to the Payee. On a Bill Payment’s Withdrawal Date, we will debit or charge your designated Funding Source and deposit your funds with IPI. After the funds clear from your designated Funding Source, we will then remit the Bill Payment to the Payee using the Payment Method you selected (unless modified by the Payee as set forth above). Please note that it may take 2-3 Business Days from the Withdrawal Date for the funds to reflect as withdrawn from your Funding Source. Based on your selected Withdrawal Date and Payment Method, we will provide you an estimated delivery date for when the Payee may receive the payment based on the applicable Payment Method. Estimated delivery dates are provided for your convenience only and are not guaranteed. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the estimated delivery date, but we do not represent or guarantee that any Bill Payment will be received by Payee on such estimated delivery date or any date, or that Payee will accept the Bill Payment. A Bill Payment may be delayed by various factors, including payment reviews initiated by us (see “Bill Payment Review” below) and other factors outside our control. You agree that we will have no liability (including for interest, late fees or other penalties that you may incur) if a Bill Payment is received after your payment due date or if such Bill Payment is not accepted by the Payee. If you cancel your QuickBooks Bill Pay subscription or your QuickBooks Online subscription, you will no longer be able to send Bill Payments and you will not have access to the Bill Pay Services after the end of your billing cycle. Any scheduled but not yet processed Bill Payment will be canceled at the end of your billing cycle. You are solely responsible for selecting a Withdrawal Date and a Payment Method that allows sufficient time for the funds from your Funding Source to clear and for the Bill Payment to be received by or delivered to the Payee on or prior to your payment due date. Accuracy of Payment Instructions. “Payment Instructions” means any information used to identify your Funding Source, the Payee Information, the Bill Payment amount, the Payment Method and the Withdrawal Date, and any other relevant information, all of which you provide, select, confirm or approve when you schedule a Bill Payment. You are responsible for ensuring the completeness and accuracy of all Payment Instructions, including Payee Information for any Standard Payee. When you select a Payable Network Member, you are responsible for selecting the correct Payee and verifying that the Payee Information provided to you is correct. You must review and approve all Payment Instructions when scheduling a Bill Payment, with the exception of a Payable Network Member’s bank account information, which is provided by the Payable Network Member and is not visible to you. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process your Bill Payment according to your Payment Instructions (provided that we may process Bill Payments using a different Payment Method designated by a Payable Network Member, if applicable). Your failure to (a) provide complete and accurate Payment Instructions or (b) select the correct Payee, as applicable, may result in delays, errors, loss of funds, and additional charges (such as for insufficient funds). You may not be able to recover payments sent to the wrong Payee or based on inaccurate Payment Instructions (including Payee Information). We are entitled to rely upon, and are not obligated to independently verify the accuracy of any Payment Instructions provided to us. You will ensure that your Payment Instructions provided as part of your use of the Bill Pay Service do not violate the Bill Pay Terms or the Agreement and comply with all applicable laws or regulations. You agree we are not liable for any liability, loss or damage resulting from our processing of a Bill Payment in accordance with your Payment Instructions, even if it results in late payment or non-payment. Bill Payment Authorization. With respect to each Bill Payment that you schedule, you authorize us to (i) charge or debit your Funding Source for the Bill Payment amount on the Withdrawal Date (and, if necessary, make adjusting credits or debits to your Funding Source to correct errors or return funds to you in accordance with the Nacha Rules); and (ii) process the Bill Payment in accordance with your Payment Instructions (as may be modified by a Payable Network Member with respect to Payment Method). You also represent, warrant and covenant that (i) the designated Funding Source will have sufficient funds on the Withdrawal Date to satisfy the entire Bill Payment amount; (ii) the Bill Payment is for a business purpose to pay for an obligation owed to the Payee for the provision of goods or services; and (iii) the Bill Payment does not relate to any activity prohibited by the Bill Pay Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy. Bill Payment Review. To prevent fraud and comply with our legal obligations, we may ask for additional information from you and/or from third parties in connection with your Bill Payment. During the review process, we may temporarily limit or restrict your ability to use the Bill Pay Service (including to schedule a Bill Payment) for as long as reasonably required to conduct an appropriate investigation or inquiry regarding you, the Payee, the Bill Payment, and any other relevant circumstances and factors. We may also temporarily decline to accept or process your Bill Payment(s). You acknowledge that our ability to efficiently and effectively review your Bill Payment depends on your cooperation, and if you do not cooperate with our review process in a timely manner, your Bill Payment may be delayed or declined. You agree that we will not be liable for any liability, loss or damage due to delayed, incomplete, or insufficient responses from you. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to: (i) limit or refuse your use of the Bill Pay Service, (ii) refuse or stop a Bill Payment, (iii) determine the eligibility of a Payee (whether a Payable Network Member or otherwise) to receive a Bill Payment, (iv) impose limitations or restrictions on the amount, frequency, and timing of Bill Payments; (v) decline to make Bill Payments available to any potential user or payee; or (vi) otherwise deny your use of the Bill Pay Service. Prohibited Activities. You may not use the Bill Pay Service in any manner prohibited under the Bill Pay Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy (collectively, “Prohibited Activities”). Prohibited Activities include, but are not limited to, restricted uses (see Restricted Use of the Services in Section A of the Agreement) and use of the Bill Pay Service for any of the following: * Payments or expenditures primarily for personal, family or household use; * Payments to third parties other than for the purchase of goods or services (i.e., no donations or peer to peer payments); * Payments for goods or services provided by a third party that is not the Payee; * Activities that violate the law, payment network rules (including Visa, Mastercard and the Nacha Rules) or involve fraud or fraudulent intent; * Activities that would cause you to breach or violate the Bill Pay Terms, the Agreement or any other terms or agreement you have with us; or * Activities that create unreasonable risk (financial, reputational, or otherwise) to us, other QuickBooks Online customers, the Bill Pay Service or any of our other Services, and/or Payees, including without limitation: * knowingly scheduling Bill Payments using false, inaccurate, or incomplete information; * maintaining or using multiple QuickBooks Online accounts to circumvent the Bill Pay Terms or any limits that we may impose on any Bill Payment or your use of the Bill Pay Service; * allowing unauthorized individuals or entities to access or use the Bill Pay Service; * using an anonymizing proxy; * using the Bill Pay Service in a manner that results in, or may result in, complaints, disputes, claims, chargebacks, fees, fines, penalties and/or other liability to us or any other third party; or * using any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual process to access, monitor or copy any aspect of the Bill Pay Service without our prior written permission. If we, at our sole discretion, suspect or determine that you are engaged in any Prohibited Activity, in addition to any other rights we may have under the Bill Pay Terms or any other agreement we have with you, we reserve the right to immediately take any action we deem necessary or appropriate to avoid risk or harm to us, the Bill Pay Service, our other Services, other QuickBooks Online customers, and/or Payees. Such actions may include, without limitation: * suspending or terminating your access to the Bill Pay Service, any other Service and/or your QuickBooks Online account; * declining, suspending or canceling any pending Bill Payments; * placing a hold on any funds owed to you, whether through the Bill Pay Service or another Service; * attempting to reclaim funds paid to any Payee; * contacting your Funding Source provider, or notifying Payees, law enforcement, or impacted third parties of your actions; or * taking legal action against you. Canceling or Stopping a Bill Payment. You may be able to cancel or otherwise stop a Bill Payment before payment is made to a Payee. You are responsible for all other fees, charges and other costs when attempting to place a stop payment request on your Bill Payment, and you agree not to hold us liable for any costs you or the Payee may incur. Cancel a Bill Payment. You may submit a cancellation request for a Bill Payment, please see Bill Pay Help Center for instructions on how to cancel a Bill Payment. If you submit a cancellation request prior to the Bill Payment’s Withdrawal Date, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to cancel your Bill Payment. In some cases, you will not be able to cancel a scheduled Bill Payment. For example, we may not be able to cancel a Bill Payment if the Bill Payment is set to be processed on the same day or if the Bill Payment has already been processed for payment. If we are able to successfully cancel your Bill Payment before it is processed, we will cancel any charge or debit to your Funding Source and you will not be charged any fees by us. If we are not able to cancel your Bill Payment, your Bill Payment will be processed and will be charged the applicable fee (which will not be refunded to you), and you will need to contact the Payee to request a refund. Requests to Stop Check Payment. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to enable you to stop a Bill Payment using a paper check prior to the check being processed for printing and mailing. If we have already mailed a paper check to the Payee, please reach out to an expert via the Help Center in order to submit a stop payment request. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate your stop payment request, but we do not warrant or guarantee that your stop payment request will be applied before the Payee deposits the paper check, funds settle to the Payee’s account or the paper check otherwise clears. You agree that we will have no liability if your stop payment request fails. If we are able to place a stop payment request on a paper check, we will refund to you the Bill Payment amount that we may have charged to or debited from your Funding Source but we will not refund you any applicable fees. You should also inform the Payee not to attempt to deposit the check as they may be charged a fee by their bank, which the Payee may assign to you. Failed Bill Payments. A Bill Payment may fail for a number of reasons, including but not limited to: Declined Funding Source. On the Withdrawal Date, we will attempt to charge or debit your Funding Source in the amount of the Bill Payment. If your Funding Source is declined for any reason, we may also, in our sole discretion, reinitiate a charge or debit your Funding Source for the Bill Payment amount after the Withdrawal Date in accordance with the Nacha Rules. If we are unable to debit the Funding Source, we will not process your Bill Payment and no payment will be made or delivered to the Payee. We will notify you of the failure to process your Bill Payment in the Bill Pay Service or via email to the email address associated with your account. If we send a Bill Payment to a Payee and your Funding Source is declined after the Bill Payment is sent, you agree to reimburse us for any corresponding loss immediately upon demand, plus any fees or charges that we may incur in collecting such loss. We reserve the right to recover such loss by debiting the Funding Source at a subsequent time, charging or debiting another payment card or account linked to your QuickBooks Online account, or withholding funds from any accounts owed to you as a QuickBooks Online customer, whether in connection with the Bill Pay Service or any other Service. You are responsible for any penalties, fees and other charges that we or your Funding Source provider may impose on you due to the insufficient credit or funds of your Funding Source. Returned Bill Payments. A Payee, or the Payee’s bank, may decline your Bill Payment. For example, the Payee may block all electronic payment credits to their bank account, or the Payee’s bank may not recognize the bank account identified in the electronic payment file. A Payee may reject a mailed paper check (for example, mark as return to sender), or the United States Postal Service may return the mailing as undeliverable. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of any returned Bill Payments and to offer you the option to void and reissue the payment. You agree that we are not liable for any liability, loss or damage resulting from a returned Bill Payment, whether or not we have notified you of such returned payment.

Except as permitted by the Bill Pay Terms, you agree not to attempt to recover from your Funding Source provider any Bill Payment funds that were charged to or debited from your Funding Source, such as by requesting a funds reversal through your account-holding financial institution or similar means of recovery (collectively, a “Dispute”). In the event of a dispute between you and a Payee, you agree to seek any refund or adjustment directly from the Payee and not through the Bill Pay Service or your Funding Source provider. Nevertheless, if you initiate a Dispute and recover funds to your Funding Source, you agree to assign to us any claims against your Payee associated with such Dispute. You further agree that we may, in our discretion, contact your Payee directly to request reimbursement for any payment that has been transmitted to the Payee and for which you have initiated a Dispute. If we are not able or decide not to pursue recovery of funds from your Payee, you authorize us to collect the Dispute amount, plus any applicable fees that we may incur due to the Dispute, from you by (1) charging or debiting your Funding Source or any other payment card or account linked to your QuickBooks Online account or (2) withholding from any amounts owed to you as a QuickBooks Online customer, whether in connection with the Bill Pay Service or any other Service. Fees.

You agree to pay the Bill Pay Fees applicable to your use of the Bill Pay Service, which will be disclosed to and accepted by you when you sign up for the Bill Pay Service and when you schedule a Bill Payment, as applicable.

All subscription fees will be charged at the beginning of your billing cycle and all transaction fees will be charged at the end of your billing cycle. You may change your membership subscription tier at any time.

Please see Bill Pay Help Center for more information about how to cancel and “Payments & Cancellations” in Section A for more information about your subscription fees including cancellations.

We reserve the right to update the Bill Pay Fees at any time.

Also, some federal and state laws restrict the hours and days when certain calls can be made. Before using the Messaging Services, You agree to review and abide by all federal, state, and local laws, statutes and regulations as well as applicable text/SMS/MMS messaging/telecommunications industry guidelines, including, but not limited to, the following laws and guidelines, and to check for any revisions, as they may be amended over time: * Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq., and related regulations, 47 C.F.R.
