License and Responsibilities and Content
License Responsibilities. Licensee is responsible for obtaining, configuring and maintaining all computer hardware, software and communications equipment needed to access and use the Services, and for provisioning, configuring, securing and paying all third-party services (e.g., ISP, telecommunications, computers, tablets, etc.) required to use the Services. Licensee is responsible for the accuracy, quality and legality of Licensee data and documents, which shall include all payroll data, personnel data and personally identifying information, even if Licensee has signed up for Symply’s premium service and Symply is inputing such data on Licensee’s behalf. Licensee acknowledges and agrees: (1) that Licensee is responsible for its employees, agents and contractors abiding by all local, state, national, and international laws and regulations applicable to Licensee’s and its Users’ use of the Services; (2) not to use the Services for illegal purposes; and (3) not to interfere or disrupt networks connected to the Services. Licensee shall be solely responsible for its actions and the actions of its employees, agents and contractors and other Users. Licensee shall not (a) sell, resell, rent or lease the Services, (b) use the Services to store or transmit infringing, libelous, otherwise unlawful or tortious material, or to store or transmit material in violation of third-party privacy rights, (c) use the Services to store or transmit malicious code, or (d) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services or any third party documents or data contained therein.
License Data. As between Licensee and Symply, Licensee retains all right, title and interest in any and all data, files, attachments, text, images, personally identifiable information, and other content that Licensee and Licensee’s Users upload or submit to the Services (collectively, "Licensee Data"). Licensee may not upload, post or otherwise make available through the Services any material protected by copyright, trademark, or any other proprietary right without the express permission of the owner of such copyright, trademark or other proprietary right owned by a third party, and the burden of determining whether any material is protected by any such right is on Licensee, and Licensee represents and warrants that it has all rights, permissions and consents necessary (a) to make the Licensee Data available on or through the Services, and (b) to grant Symply the limited rights to use Licensee Data set forth in this Agreement.
License's Responsibilities Regarding Tax Services. In order for Licensee’s W-2 statements and payroll tax reporting to be accurate, wage and payroll information submitted by Licensee to Symply during the transition process must be reconciled with Licensee’s payroll tax returns for the current calendar year and Licensee’s wage and payroll tax information for the current quarter. Licensee agrees to obtain (if necessary) and maintain appropriate tax identification numbers for its own tax reporting, and to obtain and maintain any necessary forms and information from its employees, and to forward this information to Symply upon Symply’s request. It is Licensee’s responsibility to submit accurate information requested by Symply in connection with the Services. Symply will rely on the accuracy of such information in performing all Services, and is not responsible for detecting errors, omissions, fraud, or illegal acts in the Licensee’s preparation of such information. Any penalty or interest incurred due to the submission of inaccurate information by the Licensee will be the sole responsibility of Licensee, which agrees to hold Symply harmless from any and all such liability. Symply, at its option, may decide not to file Licensee’s payroll tax returns or pay Licensee’s payroll taxes if there are any unresolved problems with any information requested by Symply, or submitted by Licensee. If, through no fault of Licensee, Symply files late or incorrect payments, any claim against Symply by the Licensee shall be limited to the amount of penalties and interest incurred due to such late or incorrect payments, or in the case of incorrect payments, to the difference between the incorrect and correct payments. In the event of error caused solely by Symply’s actions or inaction, the sole remedy available to Licensee is for Symply to correct errors at no cost to Licensee (including the payment of penalties and interest by Symply). In no event shall Symply be responsible for the payment of Licensee’s taxes.
Licensee’s Responsibilities re: ACH Origination and Account Debiting
Symply has established a payroll processing arrangement with third party processors to provide services for the provision of electronic direct deposit services and the initiation of electronic signals for paperless entries for certain payroll services through an Automated Clearing house (“ACH”). Symply may reject any payroll request which does not comply with ACH requirements. If any payroll request is rejected, Symply will make a reasonable effort to notify Licensee promptly by telephone, facsimile or electronic communication, so that Licensee may correct such payroll request or request that Symply resubmit it. Symply will have no liability to Licensee by reason of the rejection of any payroll request. Further, the Licensee agrees to be bound by the NACHA Operating Rules and Guidelines (the “Rules”), including the following matters:
Licensee expressly authorizes Symply to originate entries on behalf of Licensee to the recipients’ accounts;
Licensee agrees not to originate entries that violate the laws of the United States;
Symply may terminate or suspend this Agreement for breach of the Rules in a manner that permits Symply to comply with the Rules; and
Licensee hereby grants Symply the right to audit the Licensee’s compliance with this Agreement and the Rules.
Licensee will have the right to cancel or amend any payroll request received by Symply after it has been submitted to Symply for a fee. Except for entries created from payroll requests that have been pre- approved and resubmitted by Licensee in accordance with the requirement of this Agreement, Symply will have no obligation to retransmit a returned payroll request to the ACH or gateway operator. Symply will process the payroll request in accordance with its current processing schedule, provided the payroll request is received by Symply no later than 3:00 p.m. PST. Licensee acknowledges that Symply makes certain warranties with respect to its ACH operator. Licensee agrees to reimburse Symply for any loss Symply incurs, including reasonable attorneys’ and related fees incurred as a result of Symply’s breach of such warranty caused by Licensee. Licensee further agrees to reimburse Symply for any fees charged for nonsufficient funds or other return fees, any interest on any amounts due at such rate as permitted by law and for reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses of collection as permitted by law.
At least 72 hours prior to Licensee’s payroll direct deposit and/or payroll tax deposit date or other applicable settlement or due date, Licensee authorizes Symply to initiate debit entries to Licensee’s account (“Licensee’s Account”) at the depository financial institution, the Routing Number of which is provided by Licensee, and to debit Licensee’s Account in such amounts as are necessary to (a) fund Licensee’s direct deposits; (b) pay any fees or charges associated with the Services; (c) pay Licensee’s payroll taxes; (d); and (d) pay any other amount that becomes owed under this Agreement. This authorization is to remain in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated; provided that Symply has a Sensitivity: Confidential reasonable opportunity to act upon it. Licensee will maintain Licensee’s Account as of the applicable settlement date and time, with immediately available funds sufficient to cover all debit entries that Licensee originates through Symply. Licensee’s obligation to pay Symply for each debit entry matures at the time Symply transmits or otherwise delivers the debit entry to the ACH or gateway operator and is unaffected by termination of the Services or this Agreement. Licensee acknowledges that the origination of ACH transactions to its account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law. Amounts withdrawn for payroll taxes will be held by Symply until such time as those payments are due to the appropriate taxing agencies, and no interest will be paid to the Licensee on these amounts.
If Licensee does not have sufficient funds in Licensee’s Account to pay disbursements, fees, payroll taxes or any other amounts due under this Agreement at the time required, or if Licensee refuses to pay, Symply shall notify Licensee immediately by telephone and/or in writing, and Symply shall have the option to (a) refuse to pay any collected but unremitted payroll taxes, in which case the payroll tax liability will become the sole responsibility of Company; (b) refuse to perform further Services; (c) refund monies due to Licensee, less any amounts owed to Symply; (d) apply any funds held by Symply for direct deposit; and/or (f) immediately terminate this Agreement. Symply in its sole discretion may charge a minimum fee of $150.00 for all drafts returned due to nonsufficient funds. Should the Services be recommenced after the resolution of Licensee’s Account, Symply reserves the right to extend the processing date.
Feedback. If Licensee sends or transmits any communications to Symply by mail, electronic mail, telephone, other otherwise (“Feedback”) suggesting or recommending changes to the Services, Licensee hereby grants Symply a royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers), irrevocable, perpetual license to use such Feedback in connection with or incorporate it into the Services.
