You agree that DAVO may use your feedback, suggestions, or ideas in any way, including in future modifications of the Software, other products or services, advertising or marketing materials.

DAVO may monitor your Content. DAVO may, but has no obligation to, monitor content on the Software. We may disclose any information necessary to satisfy our legal obligations, protect DAVO or its customers, or operate the Software properly. DAVO, in its sole discretion, may refuse to post, remove, or refuse to remove, any content, in whole or in part, alleged to be unacceptable, undesirable, inappropriate, or in violation of this Agreement.
You acknowledge and agree that DAVO does not independently calculate your sales tax liability but will collect, file and pay your sales tax based upon the information collected from your Point of Sale (POS) or accounting software package. You acknowledge that DAVO is not responsible for incorrect programming of tax rates in your POS, or the taxability or non-taxability or tax exempt status of goods and services sold, and that any penalties assessed due to the aforementioned errors or omissions on your part will be Your responsibility. You acknowledge that it is Your responsibility to inform DAVO as to any change in your State required filing frequency and that any penalties assessed due to incorrect filing frequency will be Your responsibility. You further acknowledge DAVO does not provide professional tax opinions or tax management advice specific to the facts and circumstances of your business. You are encouraged to conduct due diligence and seek the assistance of qualified tax counsel or accounting professionals on matters requiring professional advice. Accordingly, You hereby release and hold harmless DAVO and its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees from any assessments (including, but not limited to, penalties and interest) assessed against You as a result of incorrect filing and paying of sales tax due to incorrect sales tax data collected from your POS or accounting software package.
During the term of the Agreement, DAVO shall collect sales and sales tax data from your Point of sale (“Tax Data”). DAVO shall compile such Tax Data and prepare and file periodic tax returns (as required by the state in which you are filing your returns), on behalf of you. You agree to provide designated bank account information (“Bank Account”) and routing number for the purpose of paying outstanding tax obligations. By accepting the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you agree that DAVO may automatically initiate the ACH transfer of the tax amounts due (“Tax Funds”) from the Bank Account on a daily basis. If at any time during reconciliation of your Bank Account a balance is found to be owed, you agree to immediately fund the Bank Account such amount owed for withdrawal by us. DAVO may hold the Tax Funds withdrawn from the Bank Account for taxes due in an interest bearing trust account prior to disbursement to the taxing authority. Any interest earned on such account shall accrue for the benefit and be the sole property of DAVO. DAVO acknowledges and agree that all Tax Funds received from you belong to, and will be held in trust for the benefit of, the individual taxing authorities to which such Tax Funds are due and that the Tax Funds shall not be commingled with DAVO’s general funds but may be deposited with funds also held in trust on behalf of other taxpayer customers of DAVO.
DAVO will not provide funds to pay your taxes due. If for any reason the Tax Funds are not available to DAVO in the Bank Account at the time of withdrawal, DAVO may not have collected enough Tax Funds to fulfill the tax filing and payment obligation for a tax period. In this event, DAVO may:
1) remit your returns without payment and it will be your responsibility to make payments directly to the taxing authorities. You acknowledge and agree that DAVO will not be responsible for any assessments (including, but not limited to, all penalties and interest) due as a result of remitting returns without payment. Accordingly, You hereby release and holds harmless DAVO and its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees from any assessments (including, but not limited to, penalties and interest) assessed against You as a result of returns filed without payment because of Your funding delays or because the Bank Account did not have sufficient funds to pay tax amounts owed by You. In addition, You waive any claim against DAVO and its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees related to the foregoing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, DAVO reserves the right to immediately terminate this Agreement or take other action to mitigate exposure to loss if tax amounts due are not properly and sufficiently funded by You.
2) return the TAX Funds collected to you and it will be your responsibility to file and pay the taxing authorities directly. You acknowledge and agree that DAVO will not be responsible for any assessments (including, but not limited to, all penalties and interest) due as a result of your failure to file and/or pay your sales tax obligations. Accordingly, You hereby release and holds harmless DAVO and its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees from any assessments (including, but not limited to, penalties and interest) assessed against You as a result of your not filing or paying your sales tax obligations on time and/or in full as a result of DAVO returning your Tax Funds to You and requiring you to file and pay the taxing authorities yourself. In addition, You waive any claim against DAVO and its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees related to the foregoing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, DAVO reserves the right to immediately terminate this Agreement or take other action to mitigate exposure to loss if tax amounts due are not properly and sufficiently funded by You.
Transactions rejected due to insufficient funds will be charged $3.00 per rejected transaction. This is in addition to any fees or charges initiated by your bank. DAVO will net the charge out of our monthly/quarterly filing reconciliation if possible. Otherwise DAVO will ACH debit the sum total of the monthly rejected transaction fees from your bank account. DAVO urges you to contact us if you know your account is not going to be funded or if you are changing bank accounts. This will help us mitigate transaction rejection.
You acknowledge that you receive all notices relating to your tax returns directly from taxing authorities. Accordingly, you agree to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless DAVO and its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees from any assessments (including, but not limited to, all penalties and interest) assessed against you as a result of or based on: (a) your failure to immediately deliver to DAVO any notice from a taxing authority; or (b) your election to manage notices from taxing authorities on its own. In addition, on behalf of you and your successors and assigns, you waive any claim against DAVO and its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees related to the foregoing.
We may tell you about other DAVO services. You may be offered other services, products, or promotions by DAVO (“DAVO Services”). Additional terms and conditions and fees may apply. With some DAVO Services you may upload or enter data such as names, addresses and phone numbers, purchases, etc., to the Internet. You grant DAVO permission to use information about your business and experience to help us to provide the DAVO Services to you and to enhance the Software. You grant DAVO permission to combine your business data, if any, with that of others in a way that does not identify you or any individual personally. You also grant DAVO permission to share or publish summary results relating to research data and to distribute or license such data to third parties. Please see Section 15 for further Terms and Conditions related to DAVO’s other Product Offering.
DAVO may be required by law to send you communications about the Software or Third Party Products. You agree that DAVO may send these communications to you via email or by posting them on our websites.
You will manage your passwords and accept updates. You are responsible for securely managing your password(s) for access to the Software and to contact DAVO If you become aware of any unauthorized access to your account. The Software may periodically be updated with tools, utilities, improvements, third party applications, or general updates to improve the Software. You agree to receive these updates.
You acknowledge that DAVO is dependent on you and third parties to effectively provide the Software and that there are factors outside of DAVO’s control that affect the Software, including, but not limited to the following: (a) the risks inherent with the Internet; (b) the proper operation, availability and function of your ISP, network, hardware, software (including, but not limited to, business or accounting software); (c) your accurate completion of set-up forms, your correct configuration of the Software and your performance of all of its obligations under this Agreement; and (d) state and local governmental agencies to timely update and provide tax rate information. You acknowledge that DAVO is not responsible for any damages related to the operation of any third party software or hardware used by you in the Software.
DAVO will set aside your sales tax funds daily, then file your return and pay your sales tax obligation on time and in full provided:
Your POS has reported the correct amount of sales tax due to the state.
DAVO has impounded the full amount due to the state for the filing period. In the event that we have been unable to collect the full amount of your sales tax funds from your bank account for any reason or your POS has under-reported the sales tax due to the state, DAVO will perform as described in SECTION 6: ADDITIONAL TERMS 1) and 2).
You have provided DAVO access to your current state E-File account (login credentials, state sales tax identifier and any multi-factor authorization or authentication required besides the login credentials). In the event that you have not done this or DAVO is unsuccessful in accessing your state E-File account for any reason not under DAVO’s control, DAVO will perform as described in SECTION 6: ADDITIONAL TERMS 1) and 2).
Except as otherwise agreed in this Agreement, in addition to DAVO’s right to terminate or suspend the rights to the use of the Software under this Agreement, you acknowledge that: (i) your access to, and use of, the Software, may be suspended for the duration of any unanticipated or unscheduled downtime or unavailability of any portion or all of the Software for any reason, including, but not limited to, as a result of power outages, system failures or other interruptions; (ii) DAVO shall also be entitled, without any liability to you, to suspend access to any portion or all of the Software at any time, on a system-wide basis: (A) for scheduled maintenance and updates to permit DAVO to conduct maintenance or make modifications to the Software; (B) in the event of a denial of service attack or other attack on the Software or other event that DAVO determines, in its sole discretion, may create a risk to the Software, to you or any other customer if the Software were not suspended; or (C) in the event that DAVO determines that the Software is prohibited by law or DAVO otherwise determines that it is necessary or prudent to do so for legal or regulatory reasons (collectively, “Service Suspensions”). Without limitations to the disclaimers in this Agreement, DAVO shall have no liability whatsoever for any damage, liabilities, losses (including, without limitation, any penalties, interest or loss of data or profits) or any other consequence that you may incur as a result of any Service Suspension. To the extent that DAVO is able, it will endeavor to provide you notice of any Service Suspension in accordance with the notice provisions in this Agreement regarding resumption of the Software following any such suspension, but DAVO shall have no liability for the manner in which it may do so or if it fails to do so.
DAVO strives to keep your customer data and Tax Data secure, but cannot guarantee that it will be successful at doing so given the nature of the Internet. Accordingly, you acknowledge that you bear sole responsibility for the adequate security, protection and backup of your customer data and Tax Data. DAVO strongly encourages you, where available and appropriate, to (i) use encryption technology to protect your customer data and Tax Data from unauthorized access, (ii) routinely archive your customer data and Tax Data, and (iii) keep your software that you use to run the Software current with the latest security patches or updates.
