In plain terms

The Grafene Accounting Connector is a private, internal tool. It is used only by Grafene Accounting Limited and its own authorised staff, to work on the accounting records of clients who have asked us to do their bookkeeping. It is not sold, licensed or made available to anybody else, and it is not available to the public.

1.Who this agreement is between

This agreement is between Grafene Accounting Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 15091798 with its registered office at 8 Water Street, Liverpool, England, L2 8TD (“Grafene”, “we”, “us”), and the individual authorised by Grafene to use the Grafene Accounting Connector (the “Software”, “you”).

By connecting the Software to a QuickBooks Online company file, or by otherwise using it, you agree to this agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the Software.

2.What the Software is

The Software is a private integration built by Grafene for its own use. It connects to the Intuit QuickBooks Online API in order to read accounting records from, and write accounting records to, QuickBooks Online company files that Grafene has been authorised to access by the company that owns them.

The Software is not a product. It is not published on the Intuit App Store or any other marketplace, is not offered to third parties, and has no public sign-up.

3.Licence granted

Grafene grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the Software solely:

  • in the course of your engagement or employment with Grafene;
  • for the purpose of delivering accounting, bookkeeping, VAT, Construction Industry Scheme and related services to Grafene’s clients; and
  • in respect of QuickBooks Online company files that Grafene is properly authorised to access.

4.What you must not do

  • Use the Software for any company file that Grafene has not been authorised to access.
  • Copy, distribute, sublicense, sell, rent or otherwise make the Software available to any third party.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to derive the source code of any part of the Intuit platform through the Software.
  • Share, publish or store the Software’s access keys or credentials outside the systems Grafene has approved for that purpose.
  • Use the Software in any way that breaches the Intuit Developer Terms of Service, applicable data protection law, or any professional obligation owed by Grafene to its clients.
  • Use the Software to extract client data for any purpose other than the services Grafene has been engaged to provide.

5.Client authorisation and revocation

Access to any QuickBooks Online company file depends on that company granting Grafene permission through Intuit’s own authorisation process. The company that owns the file remains in control of that permission at all times and may withdraw it at any point through their QuickBooks Online settings, without notice to us. Where permission is withdrawn, the Software will no longer be able to access that file.

6.Ownership

The Software and all intellectual property rights in it belong to Grafene. This agreement grants a licence to use it and transfers no ownership.

QuickBooks and Intuit are trademarks of Intuit Inc. The Software is not produced, endorsed or supported by Intuit. Accounting data held in QuickBooks Online belongs to the company that owns the file, not to Grafene.

7.Personal data

The Software processes personal data contained in client accounting records. How that data is handled is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of this agreement.

8.No warranty

The Software is provided on an “as is” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grafene makes no warranties of any kind in relation to it, whether express or implied, including as to accuracy, availability, fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted operation.

Accounting records produced with the assistance of the Software remain subject to professional review before they are relied on, filed or issued to a client. The Software does not replace that review.

9.Limitation of liability

Nothing in this agreement limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Subject to that, Grafene shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill or anticipated saving, arising out of the use of the Software.

Intuit Inc. is not a party to this agreement and has no liability under it.

10.Suspension and termination

Grafene may suspend or terminate your licence at any time, with or without notice, including where your engagement or employment with Grafene ends or where the Software is used in breach of this agreement. On termination you must stop using the Software and must not retain any credentials for it.

11.Changes

Grafene may update this agreement from time to time. The current version will always be published at this address, with the version number and date shown at the top of the page.

12.Governing law

This agreement and any dispute arising out of it are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
