You agree to be responsible for the security of your account. You accept that you are solely responsible for all activities that take place through your account, and that failure to limit access to your devices or browser may permit unauthorized use by third-parties.

Confidentiality. In connection with your use of the Grove Tax Platform, each party (the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose or make available certain Confidential Information to the other party (the “Receiving Party”). The Receiving Party may use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only as needed to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Agreement, may not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party, and will protect it in the same manner that the Receiving Party protects its own confidential information of a similar nature, and in any event using at least reasonable care. “Confidential Information” means nonpublic information that a Disclosing Party or its affiliates or third parties designate as confidential or should reasonably be considered confidential under the circumstances, including software, specifications, and other nonpublic business or technical information, but does not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) the Receiving Party already possesses without any confidentiality obligations when it receives it under this Agreement; (iii) is rightfully disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party without any confidentiality obligations; or (iv) the Receiving Party independently developed without using the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information when required by law or valid order of a court or other governmental authority, provided that the Receiving Party (where legally permitted) gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior written notice and uses reasonable efforts to limit the scope of disclosure, including by assisting the Disclosing Party in challenging or narrowing the disclosure requirement.
Third-Party Integrations. The Grove Tax Platform may integrate with or otherwise make available certain applications and materials that are developed or otherwise provided by a party other than Grove Tax (collectively, “Third Party Services”). Grove Tax does not warrant or guarantee the functionality, availability, or reliability of any such Third Party Services. In addition, the use of such Third Party Services may require you to agree to additional terms and conditions imposed by the respective service providers, which are independent of this Agreement. Grove Tax reserves the right to modify or discontinue any of its integrations with any Third Party Services at any time without prior notice. Grove Tax will not be liable for any damages or losses resulting from such modification or discontinuation.
Product Usage Data. Grove Tax may collect and use data and information relating to your access to and use of the Grove Tax Platform, including technical logs, performance metrics, feature usage, configuration data, and other information about how the Grove Tax Platform and related services are accessed and used (“Product Usage Data”). Product Usage Data may be collected through automated means such as system logs, analytics tools, cookies, or similar technologies. Grove Tax may use Product Usage Data for purposes including: (i) maintaining, securing, and improving the Grove Tax Platform; (ii) developing new features or services; (iii) analyzing usage trends and performance; and (iv) ensuring compliance with this Agreement and applicable laws. To the extent Product Usage Data is aggregated or de-identified, Grove Tax may use and disclose such data for its business purposes without restriction, provided that it does not identify you or any individual user.
Fees and Payments
Fees and Billing. To the extent Grove Tax Platform is made available to you for a fee, you will pay all fees charged to your account (“Fees”) according to the prices and terms on the applicable pricing page, or as otherwise agreed between us in writing. We have the right to correct pricing errors or mistakes even if we have already issued an invoice or received payment. You will provide complete and accurate billing information including a valid and authorized payment method. We will charge your payment method on an agreed-upon periodic basis, but may reasonably change the date on which the charge is posted. You authorize Grove Tax, and our third-party payment processor(s), to charge your payment method for the Fees. If your payment cannot be completed, we will provide you written notice and may suspend access to Grove Tax Platform until payment is received. Fees are payable in U.S. dollars and are due upon invoice issuance. All payments are nonrefundable except as provided in this Agreement.
Payment by Invoices. If you have executed an order form with Grove Tax with respect to Grove Tax Platform (each an “Order Form”) which states that you will be billed via invoice, then invoices will be sent to you via email in accordance with the Order Form. Except as otherwise set forth in an Order Form, you will make all of the undisputed fees set forth in the corresponding Order Form within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice.
Usage Credits. Certain features or services may be accessed through the purchase and use of credits (“Usage Credits”). You may purchase Usage Credits through your account at the rates and terms specified by Grove Tax from time to time. Usage Credits have no cash value, are non-transferable, and may be used solely to access eligible services within the Grove Tax Platform. All purchases of Usage Credits are final and non-refundable, except as required by applicable law or expressly stated otherwise by Grove Tax. Usage Credits will be deducted automatically based on your use of the applicable features or services. Grove Tax may, at its discretion, modify the credit pricing, usage rates, or the services for which Usage Credits may be redeemed at any time. Any changes will apply prospectively. Unused Usage Credits may expire after the period set forth in your account or purchase documentation.
Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, Fees do not include federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, duties, and other similar assessments (“Taxes”). You are responsible for all Taxes associated with your purchase, excluding Taxes based on our net income, and we may invoice you for such Taxes. You agree to timely pay such Taxes and provide us with documentation showing the payment, or additional evidence that we may reasonably require. Grove Tax uses the name and address in your account registration as the place of supply for tax purposes, so you must keep this information accurate and up-to-date.
Changes in Fees. We may change our prices by posting notice to your account and/or to our website. Price increases will be effective fourteen (14) days after they are posted, except for increases made for legal reasons or increases made to any free or beta services, which will be effective immediately. Any price changes will apply to the Fees charged to your account immediately after the effective date of the changes.
Term and Termination
Termination; Suspension. This Agreement takes effect when you first use Grove Tax Platform and remain in effect until terminated. You may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason if you do not have any Order Forms then in effect by discontinuing the use of Grove Tax Platform. We may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing you at least 30 days’ advance notice. We may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to you if you materially breach this Agreement, if there are changes in relationships with third party technology providers outside of our control, or to comply with law or government requests. We may suspend your access to Grove Tax Platform, with or without notice, if you do not comply with this Agreement, if your use poses a security risk to us or any third party, or if we suspect that your use is fraudulent or could subject us or any third party to liability.
Effect on Termination. Upon termination, you will stop using Grove Tax Platform and you will promptly return or, if instructed by us, destroy any Confidential Information. The sections of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination or expiration should survive, including but not limited to Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Indemnification; Disclaimer; Limitations on Liability
Indemnity. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to hold harmless, release, defend, and indemnify us and our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, and subsidiaries from and against all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from: (a) your unauthorized access or use of Grove Tax Platform; or (b) your violation of any term or condition of this Agreement, the right of any third party, or any other applicable law, rule, or regulation.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES (OTHER THAN AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN CASES INVOLVING PERSONAL INJURY) EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO US IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00 USD) OR ITS EQUIVALENT IN THE LOCAL CURRENCY OF THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.
