B. SERVICES

  1. Services. On the terms and conditions set forth herein, Client hereby engages Accounting Seed to perform those services and provide those products specified in each Sales Contract (collectively, the “Services”), and Accounting Seed hereby accepts such engagement. All Sales Contracts are hereby incorporated herein by this reference. Accounting Seed shall use reasonable efforts to render the Services and deliver the required deliverables in accordance with the timetable and milestones set forth in the respective Sales Contract. Any estimates of availability or any other statements or agreements in respect of the Services made verbally by Accounting Seed prior to acceptance of this Agreement and an applicable Sales Contract shall not constitute a commitment of resources or constitute a timeline for delivery of Services. Client acknowledges and understands that any timetable provided by Accounting Seed hereunder or in any Sales Contract is subject to Client’s cooperation. Accounting Seed shall have no liability to Client for any breach of its obligations related to the Services due to a failure of Client’s cooperation and performance of its obligations hereunder. Accounting Seed reserves the right to monitor and review information pertaining to (and each Client hereby consents to Accounting Seed’s monitoring and review of) Client’s use of the Services to verify compliance with this Agreement and any Sales Contract, including, but not limited to, retrieving and reviewing end user information and activity to confirm use by designated individuals only.

  2. Sales Contract Authorization and Modification. Each Sales Contract is to be signed by an authorized representative of Client. Any deviation from or modification to a Sales Contract will be binding only if agreed to by the parties in writing. In the event of any express conflict between the provisions of a Sales Contract and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Sales Contract will govern and control with respect to the interpretation of that Sales Contract; provided, however, that the provisions of the Sales Contract will be so construed as to give effect to the applicable provisions of this Agreement to the fullest extent possible.

  3. Changes. Accounting Seed reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make any changes to the Services and Provider Materials that it deems necessary or useful to: (a) maintain or enhance: (i) the quality or delivery of the Services; (ii) the competitive strength of or market for Accounting Seed’s services; or (iii) the Services’ cost efficiency or performance; or (b) to comply with applicable law, provided that such changes do not materially adversely affect the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, either Accounting Seed or Client may, at any time during the Term, request in writing changes to the Services. Accounting Seed and Client shall evaluate and, if agreed, implement all such requested changes in accordance with mutually agreed upon change procedures and other applicable terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by the parties (including any changes to the applicable Fees). No requested changes will be effective unless and until memorialized in a written Sales Contract signed by both parties. Client acknowledges that certain products and services made available by or through Accounting Seed may be provided by third parties (each a “Third-Party Product”), and Client agrees that (i) such third parties may change any or all of the Third Party Products and the fees related thereto, and may cease providing any or all of the Third-Party Products, without notice, and (ii) Accounting Seed shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to change any or all of the Third-Party Products and the fees related thereto, and may cease providing any or all of the Third-Party Products, without notice, in the event of any such changes or cessation by such third parties (however, Accounting Seed will attempt to provide notice in advance where commercially practicable). Additionally, Client acknowledges and agrees that Client’s ability to purchase or use Third-Party Products may be subject to approval or acceptance by the relevant third parties and/or Client’s agreement to terms and conditions with the relevant third parties.

  4. Subscriptions. If Client and Accounting Seed enter into a Sales Contract related to subscription services (including any implementation, customization or maintenance of the Services), the following additional terms shall apply to such Services:

    1. User Subscriptions. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Sales Contract, (i) subscription services may not be accessed by more than the specified number of users and/or subscriptions as set forth in the applicable Sales Contract, (ii) additional subscriptions may be added during the applicable subscription term by a Client as mutually agreed upon by the parties in a Sales Contract. Subscriptions are for designated users (identified by name) only and cannot be shared, transferred or reassigned.

      1. General Ledger Accounts and Variables. Subscriptions include a fixed number of general ledger accounts and general ledger variables. Use of the subscriptions resulting in any increased need for general ledger accounts or general ledger variables will be subject to additional Fees as established by Accounting Seed.

      2. Transaction, Payment or Data Fees. Transaction, payment or data usage-based Fees set forth in a Sales Contract include a threshold for transaction or usage amounts over a specified measurement period (e.g., monthly, quarterly, etc.), and additional fees shall apply for transaction or usage amounts that exceed the specified threshold in the given measurement period.

  5. Subcontractors. Accounting seed may from time to time in its discretion engage third parties to perform Services (each, a “Subcontractor”).

  6. Testing New Releases and Push to Production. Accounting Seed will make available to Client a “sandbox” for testing new releases of Accounting Seed’s subscription Services. Accounting Seed will push each new release to Client’s sandbox, and Client will have the opportunity to test the new release and determine when Client will push the new release into their production instance. Accounting Seed reserves the right to stop providing product or technical support for any product or service that is more than two (2) release versions behind the then-current release of the product or service.

  7. Additional Services. From time to time we may invite you to try, at no charge, additional products or services other than the Services (“Trial Services”). You may accept or decline any such Trial Services in Your sole discretion. Any Trial Services will be clearly designated as such, and Accounting Seed shall have no obligation to provide any Trial Services. Trial Services are provided for evaluation purposes only and not for production use, are not supported, may contain bugs or errors, and may be subject to additional terms. CLIENT ASSUMES ALL RISKS RELATED TO USING ANY TRIAL SERVICES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ACCOUNTING SEED SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO CLIENT’S USE OF ANY TRIAL SERVICES. TRIAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY (AND ACCOUNTING SEED HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING TRIAL SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT). We may discontinue Trial Services at any time in our sole discretion and may never make them generally available.

  8. Support Services. Customer support (e.g., for product questions or technical issues) will be as set forth in the Sales Contract.

C. FEES AND BILLING

  1. Fees. Client will pay to Accounting Seed the charges set forth in each Sales Contract (“Fees”). All Fees owed hereunder or under any Sales Contract are non-refundable and non-transferable and may not be applied toward any other payments due under this Agreement or any Sales Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, the Services contracted for in any Sales Contract must be utilized within a twelve (12) month period (or, if otherwise stated in the Sales Contract, the time period specified therein) from the date of the applicable Sales Contract, and any unused portion of Services shall be forfeited upon expiration of such term. Fees, charges and costs payable hereunder shall not be credited toward any subscription or other fees payable to Accounting Seed, regardless of whether the Services corresponding to such Fees were utilized. All monies in connection with this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. Dollars.

  2. Expenses. Client shall pay or reimburse Accounting Seed for pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation, travel expenses) (collectively, “Expenses”) incurred by Accounting Seed in the course of providing Services to Client, which shall be sent to Client in writing and paid on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Sales Contract, or the applicable invoice.

  3. Payment; Suspension for Non-Payment. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Sales Contract, Accounting Seed will invoice Client for Fees and Expenses on a periodic basis, with each invoice setting forth the Fees and Expenses related to the previous period. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Sales Contract, any amount due to Accounting Seed under this Agreement and each Sales Contract shall be payable by Client in full upon receipt of an invoice therefore, without withholding, deduction or offset of any amounts for any purpose. Any amount not paid by Client within thirty (30) days of the date of each invoice shall be subject to an interest charge equal to the lesser of 1.5% monthly or the maximum interest charge permissible under applicable law, payable on demand. Client shall be responsible for the payment of all invoices. Accounting Seed may suspend performance of the Services for repeated failures to pay any amounts due hereunder, until all past due amounts and interest thereon (if any) have been paid, without incurring any obligation or liability to Client or any other person by reason of such suspension.

  4. Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Client under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Without limiting the foregoing, Client is responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Client hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on Accounting Seed’s income. For the avoidance of doubt, if Accounting Seed is obligated to collect applicable taxes, Accounting Seed may include them on any Client invoice, and Client shall be obligated to pay all such amounts to us unless Client provides Accounting Seed with a valid tax exemption certificate.

  5. Fee Increases. Other than as explicitly set forth in a Sales Contract, Accounting Seed may increase Fees (i) for any renewal period of a Sales Contract in its sole discretion by providing written notice to Client at least ninety (90) days prior to the beginning of the applicable renewal period, or (ii) at any time for a Sales Contract upon providing at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Client in the event of any increase in fees being charged to Accounting Seed with respect to any Third Party Products (a “Third-Party Fee Increase”); provided, however, that, in the event of a Third-Party Fee Increase, Client may terminate this Agreement by providing at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Accounting Seed no later than thirty (30) days after Client receives Accounting Seed’s notice of the Third-Party Fee Increase.

D. WARRANTIES

  1. Client’s Warranties. For each Sales Contract, Client hereby represents and warrants that (i) with respect to tools, hardware, software and other products provided by Client for use by Accounting Seed under this Agreement and any Sales Contract, Client has obtained all licenses and permits which are required to be obtained to enable such use by Accounting Seed; (ii) the information furnished by or on behalf of Client to Accounting Seed on which Accounting Seed based the description of the Services and the fees to be paid by Client therefore, as set forth in each Sales Contract, is accurate and complete in all material respects; and (iii) Client has, or will have, the personnel and other resources available, and will provide, or cause to be provided, such personnel and resources, to fulfill Client’s obligations set forth in each Sales Contract.

F. CONFIDENTIALITY

  1. Confidential Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all nonpublic information in tangible or intangible form disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Accounting Seed shall include, without limitation Provider Materials, information related to the Services, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, information contained in design documentation relating to any programs of Accounting Seed (including any source code), development level documentation, all Accounting Seed development tools, data files, databases, marketing plans, supplier and customer information, proprietary and technical information, business and marketing strategies and plans, and information received from others that Accounting Seed is obligated to treat as confidential. Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party.

  2. Nondisclosure. Each party acknowledges that in performance of this Agreement, it may acquire knowledge of the other’s Confidential Information. The Receiving Party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information using the same degree of care as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own confidential information, which degree of care shall not be less than a reasonable degree of care. The Receiving Party shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity except to its employees, directors and professional advisors and only to the extent required to perform this Agreement or as expressly permitted by the Disclosing Party in writing, and in all cases only after the third party agrees to be bound by confidentiality terms substantially similar to those contained in this Agreement. Neither party shall use the other party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than performance of its obligations and the exercise of its rights under this Agreement. Each party shall be responsible and liable to the other for any disclosure of Confidential Information by any employee, contractor, agent or other person or entity to whom such party discloses Confidential Information of the other.

  3. Compelled Disclosures. If the Receiving Party or any of its representatives is compelled by applicable law to disclose any Confidential Information then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Receiving Party shall: (a) promptly, and prior to such disclosure, notify the Disclosing Party in writing of such requirement so that the Disclosing Party can seek a protective order or other remedy or waive its rights hereunder; and (b) provide reasonable assistance to the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense, in opposing such disclosure or seeking a protective order or other limitations on disclosure. If the Disclosing Party waives compliance or, after providing the notice and assistance required under this Section, the Receiving Party remains required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party is legally required to disclose.

  4. Irreparable Harm. In addition to all other legal or equitable remedies to which a Disclosing Party may be entitled to enforce this Section F, both parties acknowledge that any violation of the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its representatives would cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party and agree that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek an immediate injunction or other equitable relief to prevent such violations without the necessity of proving actual harm or posting bond.

  5. Independent Development; Residuals. Accounting Seed shall be free to use for any purpose the Residuals resulting from access to or work with Confidential Information, provided Accounting Seed shall maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not be construed to grant Accounting Seed a license of Client’s copyrights or other intellectual property. In addition, nothing contained in this clause shall relieve either party of its confidentiality obligations with respect to the proprietary and Confidential Information or material of the other party.

  6. User Activity and Credentials; Restrictions. You are responsible for: (i) the confidentiality of user access credentials that are in your possession or control; (ii) setting up appropriate internal roles, permissions, policies and procedures for the safe and secure use of the Services, (iii) the activity of your users in the Services; and (iv) your users’ compliance with this Agreement, any Sales Contract and applicable law. You must notify us promptly if you become aware, or reasonably suspect, that your systems’ security or any access credentials have been compromised. Accounting Seed reserves the right to limit or disable Client’s access to or use of any Services, any Client portal access, or any other Accounting Seed material, product, service or website, if Accounting Seed, in its sole discretion, has a concern about the security or integrity of Accounting Seed’s or Client’s systems or data. Except as expressly authorized by us prior to each instance, you shall not: (i) provide the Services to any third party other than your users, use the Services in any manner not contemplated in this Agreement or any Sales Contract; (ii) derive the source code or use tools to observe the internal operation of, or scan, probe or penetrate, the Services; (iii) copy, modify or make derivative works of the Services; (iv) remove any proprietary markings or notices from any materials provided to you by us; (v) frame or mirror the Services or any part thereof; or (vi) use the Services: (a) to send spam, duplicative, or unsolicited messages in violation of applicable laws or regulations; (b) to store sensitive data such as bank account data, social security (or equivalent) numbers and credit card data outside of the designated fields therefor; (c) to send or store material that violates the rights of a third party; (d) to send or store material containing viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other harmful computer code, files, scripts, agents or programs; or (e) for any other illegal or unlawful purpose. You may not knowingly facilitate or aid a third party in any of the foregoing activities. Client shall use its best efforts to assist Accounting Seed in the protection of Accounting Seed’s legal rights and to enforce Accounting Seed’s and applicable third party’s Intellectual Property Rights. Client shall cooperate fully with Accounting Seed in any action by Accounting Seed in the event of an actual or threatened violation of Accounting Seed’s proprietary rights by any person or entity, including clients of Client.

G. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Except for the limited rights and licenses expressly granted under this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement grants, by implication, waiver, estoppel, or otherwise, to Client or any third party any Intellectual Property Rights or other right, title, or interest in or to any Provider Materials or third-party materials. All uses in this Agreement or a Sales Contract of the terms "sell," "sale," "resell," "resale," "purchase," "price," and the like mean the grant of a license and shall not be deemed a sale of any copy of or rights in any Provider Materials. Nothing in this Agreement grants or conveys, or permits Client to grant or convey, any ownership right in any of the Provider Materials or any third-party materials, or any article or copy thereof or Intellectual Property Rights therein.

  2. Grant of Non-Exclusive License.

With respect to any software provided to Client (whether alone or as incorporated into or forming a part of any Services), such license shall encompass object code only. Client shall not disclose, furnish, transfer, or otherwise make available the Provider Materials, or any portion thereof, or related documentation provided by Accounting Seed in any form, to any third party other than as permitted by this Agreement.

  3. Obligation to Limit Access of Proprietary Information; Use Restrictions. Client shall limit the use and access of the Provider Materials solely to its representatives directly involved in the operation of the Services and any vendors and service providers who have a need to access Provider Materials in connection with Client’s use of the Services (and subject to confidentiality requirements in this Agreement). Under no circumstances shall Client (i) access, use or make available any Provider Materials beyond the scope of the permissions granted in this Agreement, (ii) license, sublicense, encumber, lease, rent or transfer any Provider Materials or any right or license granted by Accounting Seed, without Accounting Seed’s written permission, (iii) access, use or make available any Provider Materials for time-sharing or service bureau purposes, (iii) disassemble, decompile, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, or (except as expressly permitted herein) copy, any of the Provider Materials or portions thereof, or otherwise attempt to gain access to or learn the source code, structure or algorithms underlying the Provider Materials or portions thereof, or (iv) access or use any Provider Materials, or any third-party products or services, in a manner that infringes, misappropriates or violates any Intellectual Property Right or other right of any third party, or violates any applicable law.

  4. Proprietary Rights and Ownership of Provider Materials. As between Accounting Seed and Client, all right, title, and interest in and to the Provider Materials, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein, are and will remain with Accounting Seed and its licensors. With respect to any third-party materials, the applicable third-party providers own all right, title, and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the third-party materials. Client has no right or license to any Provider Materials or third-party materials except as expressly licensed under this Agreement, and subject to the requirements and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. Client shall take no action inconsistent with the Intellectual Property Rights of Accounting Seed or its licensors. Client hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assigns to Accounting Seed its entire right, title, and interest in and to any Intellectual Property Rights that Client may acquire in or relating to any of the Provider Materials (including any rights in derivative works or patent improvements relating thereto), whether acquired by operation of law, contract or otherwise. To the extent the foregoing does not transfer all of such right, title and interest to Accounting Seed, Client hereby grants Accounting Seed a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to use and fully exploit any such Intellectual Property Rights (and, to the extent not included in the foregoing, all suggestions and ideas Client communicates to Accounting Seed for modifying any Accounting Seed product or service), without compensation, without any obligation to report on such use, and without any other restriction. Client shall have no right to obtain the source code for any Services. All other rights in and to the Provider Materials are expressly reserved by Accounting Seed.

  5. Client Data. As between Client and Accounting Seed, Client is and will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to all Client Data, including all Intellectual Property Rights relating thereto, subject to the rights and permissions granted herein.

  6. Consent to Use Client Data. Client hereby irrevocably grants all such rights and permissions in or relating to Client Data as are necessary or useful to Accounting Seed, its Subcontractors, and Accounting Seed personnel to enforce this Agreement and exercise Accounting Seed’s, its Subcontractors’, and Accounting Seed’s personnel’s rights and perform their respective obligations hereunder.

H. PRIVACY

  1. Personal Information. You represent, warrant and covenant that all Personal Information (including any Client Data) provided or otherwise made available to Accounting Seed, directly or on your behalf, is done so in compliance with applicable law, and that You have provided all necessary and appropriate notices and opt-outs, and otherwise have all necessary and appropriate rights, to enable Accounting Seed to (i) access and use the Personal Information to provide the Services and as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, (ii) share any and all Personal Information you provided with any parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or related company of Accounting Seed (collectively, the “Group”), and (iii) use any such Personal Information in connection with any and all of the Group’s internal operations and functions, including, but not limited to, improving the Group’s products and/or services, operational analytics and reporting, internal financial reporting and analysis, audit functions and archival purposes. The parties agree that the sharing of Personal Information between members of the Group does not constitute a “sale” of such Personal Information under applicable law.

  2. Security. Accounting Seed shall implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of all Client Data in its possession.

I. INDEMNIFICATION

Client shall indemnify, defend and hold Accounting Seed and its employees, officers and directors harmless from and against any claim, liability, damage, loss, assessment, fine or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) brought or assessed against any of them arising out of Client’s use of the Services or breach of any covenant, warranty or representation contained in this Agreement. Accounting Seed shall indemnify, defend and hold Client and its employees, officers and directors harmless from and against any Claim brought or assessed against any of them arising out of Accounting Seed’s breach of any covenant, warranty or representation contain in this Agreement.  The indemnified party shall provide indemnifying party with prompt written notice of the Claim.  The indemnifying party shall have the right to control the defense and settlement of the Claim; however, the indemnifying party shall not, without consent of the indemnified party, agree to any settlement of a Claim that makes an admission of wrongdoing by the indemnified party or consents to any injunction against the indemnified party (except for an injunction relating solely to Client’s continued use of any allegedly infringing Services). The indemnified party will have the right to, at its own expense, participate in the defense of any Claim by counsel of its own choice; however, in no event shall the indemnified party have the right to settle any Claim without the indemnifying party’s consent.

Additional Terms for Reseller Clients

  1. Application of these Additional Terms.  These Additional Terms for Reseller Clients (“Additional Terms”) apply to you with respect to any Accounting Seed product or service you purchase or acquire from one of our Resellers.   When you purchase through Reseller, the way we do business with you is slightly different than it would be if you purchased directly from us without a Reseller (for example, you’ll pay fees to the Reseller and not to Accounting Seed), so these Additional Terms will modify certain provisions in the Agreement.  These Additional Terms form a part of the Agreement, and all other provisions in the Agreement continue to apply to you, except to the extent they are modified by these Additional Terms.  Where applicable, the relevant Sections of the Agreement being addressed by these Additional Terms are identified below.

  2. Use of Accepted Order.  As a Reseller Client, you will obtain your Services through an Accepted Order submitted by your Reseller (and not through a Sales Contract).  Consequently, you and Accounting Seed agree to substitute the phrase “Accepted Order” for the phrase “Sales Contract” throughout this Agreement except: (i) the use of “Sales Contract” in the first paragraph of this Agreement (which shall remain unchanged); (ii) the definition of “Sales Contract” (which shall remain unchanged), and (ii) as otherwise provided below in these Additional Terms.      

  3. Section A (Definitions).  The following definitions are added to this Agreement:

  1. "Accepted Order” means a Reseller Order that has been accepted by Accounting Seed, in Accounting Seed’s sole discretion. For clarity, Accounting Seed shall have no obligation to provide any product or service to Client unless and until Accounting Seed has accepted a Reseller Order from a Designated Reseller for such product or service, which Reseller Order Accounting Seed may accept or reject in its sole discretion.

    1. "Designated Reseller” means the Reseller through which Client purchases any Accounting Seed products or services.

  1. “Reseller Order” means an electronic order properly submitted by or on behalf of a Designated Reseller to Accounting Seed for the provision of any Accounting Seed product or service to Client based on the Client’s purchase of the Accounting Seed product or service through the Designated Reseller.

  1. Section B.1. (Services).  In addition to the terms in Section B.1. of the Agreement, the parties agree that in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Agreement and the terms of an Accepted Order, the terms of the Agreement shall control over the conflicting or inconsistent provisions in an Accepted Order. Accounting Seed is permitted to rely on the accuracy and completeness of the information provided by a Reseller concerning a Client and the Services purchased by a Client, and Accounting Seed shall have no liability to Client for any inaccuracies or incompleteness of any such information.  Accounting Seed is not and will not be bound by any representations, warranties, guarantees or covenants made by a Reseller to Client; Accounting Seed’s obligations to Client shall be only as set forth in the Agreement.

  2. Section B.2. (Sales Contract Authorization and Modification).  Section B.2. of the Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following:

Modification of Accepted Orders. Any deviation from or modification to the terms of an Accepted Order will be binding only if agreed to in writing by Accounting Seed and the Designated Reseller in writing. Client acknowledges and agrees that Accounting Seed will implement the Services (and any modifications agreed to by Accounting Seed) based on the specifics provided by the Designated Reseller to Accounting Seed, and Client is responsible for ensuring that all information and any requests for changes submitted by the Designated Reseller are accurate and complete.

  1. Section B.3. (Changes).  The process for Client to request changes to the Services will be for Client to work directly with its Designated Reseller to request any such changes, and any changes must be memorialized in an Accepted Order or other writing signed by Accounting Seed and the Designated Reseller.  Also, Accounting Seed reserves the right to work directly with Client in connection with any requested changes or any other matter pertaining to the Services.

  2. Section B.4. (Subscriptions). The first sentence of Section B.4. of the Agreement is changed to read as follows: “If Accounting Seed has agreed to an Accepted Order related to subscription services (including any implementation, customization or maintenance of the Services), the following additional terms shall apply to such Services:”.  Notwithstanding the language in Subsection 4.a. related to adding subscriptions, Client must work directly with its Designated Reseller to add or remove subscriptions.  Also, Client should check with its Designated Reseller for applicable restrictions and fees related to the items described in Subsections 4.a., 4.b., and 4.c. 

  1. Section B.8. (Support Services).  Section B.8. of the Agreement does not apply.  Client must contact its Designated Reseller for all customer support needs.

  1. Section C (Fees and Billing).  Section C of the Agreement does not apply.  Client’s obligations to pay fees and expenses will be governed by Client’s agreement with its Designated Reseller.  For avoidance of doubt, Services specified in an Accepted Order must be utilized within a 12-month period or as otherwise stated in an Accepted Order, and any unused portion of Services will be forfeited upon expiration of the applicable term.  Accounting Seed may suspend performance of Services to Client for failure of its Designated Reseller to pay amounts due Accounting Seed in connection with Services until all past due amounts and interest are paid.  It is Client’s responsibility to ensure the Designated Reseller timely pays all fees and expenses to Accounting Seed.

  1. Section D.1. (Client’s Warranties). Client’s representation and warranty in Section D.1. of the Agreement regarding information furnished to Accounting Seed also applies to information furnished by or on behalf of Client to a Designated Reseller.

(Term of Accepted Orders).  The second sentence of Section J.1.B. of the Agreement (referring to automatic renewal) is deleted and replaced with the following: “Upon expiration of the initial term, each Accepted Order will thereafter automatically renew for the same periods of time for which Client’s agreement with its Designated Reseller renews.”

  1. Section J.1.C. (Expiration and Non-Renewal).  Section J.1.C. of the Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following: “This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of all Accepted Orders (including any renewal terms).”

  1. Section J.1.D (Termination by Accounting Seed).  The following is added to Section J.1.D. of the Agreement: “Accounting Seed may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice if a Designated Reseller breaches any payment obligation or if Accounting Seed’s contract with the Designated Reseller expires or terminates.”

  1. Section J.1.F. (Non-Payment). Section J.1.F. of the Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Accounting Seed does not receive payment when due from Client’s Designated Reseller, Accounting Seed shall have no further obligation under this Agreement or any Accepted Order.” 

  1. Section J.2 (Effect of Termination). Section J.2. of the Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following: 

Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement: each party shall return or destroy, at the direction of the other party, all of the other party’s Confidential Information in its possession; provided Accounting Seed may retain Confidential Information as required by law or its document retention practices, or in its backup systems in the ordinary course; provided such retained information shall continue to be bound by the obligations set forth herein. Client acknowledges and agrees that Accounting Seed shall have no liability to Client with respect to termination of this Agreement as permitted herein, including without limitation, liability for any fees owed by Client to a Designated Reseller pursuant to Client’s contract with the Designated Reseller. Client acknowledges and agrees that Accounting Seed’s contract with the Designated Reseller could terminate or expire without notice to Client, and upon any termination or expiration of Accounting Seed’s contract with the Designated Reseller, Accounting Seed may, but will not be obligated to, continue to provide Services to Client or to reassign Client to a different Reseller. Client acknowledges and agrees that to continue receiving Services under any such circumstances, Client may be required to agree to a Sales Contract with Accounting Seed or to a contract with the new Reseller (each of which may include payment of additional fees).

  1. Section K.3. (Entire Agreement; Amendments).  The first sentence of Section K.3. of the Agreement is modified to read as follows: “This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Client and Accounting Seed with respect to the Services and supersedes all prior agreements between you and Accounting Seed, whether written, oral or implied, in relation to the Services.”

  2. Conflicts. These Additional Terms modify certain provisions of the Agreement.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Additional Terms and the terms of the Agreement, these Additional Terms shall control.  Except as modified by these Additional Terms, the terms of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.
