ARCHIVING

We understand that your information and data is very important to you, and we have a SECURITY AND PRIVACY POLICY that ensures the security and use of this information.

We also understand that you may need the use of our software to access your data even after your subscription is ended. To assist you with this, we offer the opportunity to archive the data of the Books you maintained while subscribing to our software. Archiving will allow you to read transactions and print reports from your Books, without any charge, whether or not you have a free or paid subscription. This will allow you to retain your books and records for tax or legal reasons long after you’ve ceased doing business or otherwise stopped using Cheqbook for your accounting needs.

Unless your subscription was terminated for cause (ie., you breached one or more provisions of these Terms), your Books will be archived for a period of at least seven years from the date your subscription expired or your account was otherwise terminated.

There are, however, certain restrictions on archived data. Any additional users you have granted access to a set of Books will no longer have such access. All of the links to your bank or credit card accounts will be severed. And you will no longer be able to make any changes to the data as it existed when your subscription expired or was terminated.

If your subscription is unpaid for any period of time, we may automatically archive your Books, and you may have to pay us a fee (including all unpaid subscription fees), to un-archive your Books. There may also be a period of time for us to un-archive your Books. We also reserve the right to limit how often and how many times you may archive any of your Books. Despite these restrictions any use of this long term storage feature in a manner that circumvents your monthly subscription fees is a violation of these terms of service.

If you breach any of these Terms, we reserve the right, at our discretion, to either charge you a fee to archive your Books, or to deactivate your account and data. In the latter case, you will be given a short period of time to retrieve your data, at which point it will be deleted from our server.

We reserve the right to alter, amend or eliminate any provision in these Terms, including our archiving policy. Should for some unforeseen reason we need to delete or remove your data, we will reach out to you prior to this using the email address associated with your account and explain your options at that time.

HAWAII TAX DEPARTMENT CERTIFICATION

By clicking the “Accept” button, you are making the following certification to the Hawaii taxing authority:

Pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes sections 231-6, 237-29.5, 237-29.53, or 244D-4.3, I certify that the name, address and entity type information I have provided are true and correct and that until this certificate is revoked in writing or other means by me, Cheqbook, or the Hawaii Department of Taxation it shall apply to these Terms. Cheqbook must remit the tax due on the sale of its subscriptions, as imposed by Chapters 237 and 244D, HRS, to the Hawaii State Department of Taxation if the subscriptions were not resold, consumed, or used outside Hawaii. If I have a non-Hawaii address but am using Cheqbook’s software for Books of any person or company residing in Hawaii, I will revoke this exemption by emailing Cheqbook at info@cheqbook.com.

MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us relating to the subject matters referred to herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings regarding such subject matter. No amendment to or modification of these Terms will be binding unless in writing and signed by us. These terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii, excluding its conflict of law principles. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision, or a part hereof, to be unenforceable, the rest of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect. In any legal action taken to interpret or enforce any of these Terms, the court or arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party his reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in accordance with Hawaii law. If there is a dispute regarding the terms or performance of these Terms, you or us may submit the dispute to mediation under a dispute resolution agency with representation on the island of Maui, State of Hawaii. If mediation fails to resolve such dispute, then either party may submit the dispute to Dispute Prevention Resolution, Inc. (“DPR”) in accordance with DPR’s rules then in effect and with Haw. Rev. Stat. Chapter 658A. The arbitration shall be conducted on Maui, Hawaii before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall limit discovery, motions, briefs and hearings to reflect the economic nature of the dispute. You and us will initially split the costs of the mediator and the arbitrator, but the arbitrator may award one of us his share of such costs if that party is the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if we believe that you are violating any of these Terms to the extent that an injunction is desirable, we may file an injunction in the 2nd Circuit Court of the State of Hawaii; such injunctive action will not affect the requirement to otherwise resolve the dispute by arbitration. Both of us consent that personal jurisdiction over either of us may be effected by service of process by registered or certified mail, or email.
