Legal
Software license
The license under which your organization and its people use the Computing America portal and the applications we provide through it. A signed agreement with us controls where it differs.
What this covers
This license covers the Computing America portal at oms.computingamerica.com, the applications your organization reaches through it with a Computing America sign-in, and the connections the portal makes to other services on your instruction, such as QuickBooks Online. Together, "the service".
"You" means the organization that holds the account, and the people it gives access to: its owners, its members, and the accountants it adds. Hyrax LLC d/b/a Computing America provides the service; "we" means us.
If your organization has signed an agreement with us (a master services agreement, a managed services agreement or an order form), that agreement controls wherever it differs from this license. This license fills in what the signed agreement does not say.
By using the service, you agree to this license. If you accept it for an organization, you confirm that you have authority to do so. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
The license
While your organization's subscription is active and paid, we grant it a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the service for its own internal business purposes. Nothing in the service is sold to you, and we keep every right we do not grant here.
Some applications are licensed per person. A per-person license belongs to the named person it was assigned to. The owner assigns these licenses in the portal, and can take one back and assign it to someone else. A sign-in is for one person: sharing one, or using one person's license for several people, is outside this license.
What you may not do
- Resell, rent or sublicense the service, or provide it to anyone outside your organization except an accountant your organization authorizes through the portal.
- Copy, modify or decompile the software, or try to derive its source code, except where the law allows it despite this restriction.
- Get around a license limit, an access control or a usage limit.
- Use the service in breach of the law or of our acceptable use policy, which applies to the portal and every application reached through it.
Accounts and access
Your organization's owners decide who has access. They can add and remove people, change what each person may do, and assign per-person licenses. Your organization is responsible for the people it gives access to and for keeping sign-ins private.
An owner can give an accountant access. An accountant can read your invoices and payment records, connect and disconnect your QuickBooks Online company, and send your invoices to it. An accountant cannot change your software, your team or what you are billed. The owner can end an accountant's access at any time, and it ends on the accountant's next page load.
Tell us at once if you believe someone has used a sign-in without permission.
Your data
Your organization owns the data it puts into the service. We use it only to provide, secure and support the service and to bill for it, as the portal privacy notice describes. We do not sell it and we do not use it for advertising.
An authorized owner can request a copy of your organization's data by writing to info@computingamerica.com. We verify the request and arrange the scope, format and secure delivery under your agreement with us and applicable law.
Branding
An owner can upload a logo and choose colors for the applications to show your people. You give us permission to store them and to give them to the applications your organization uses, so that those applications can show them to your people, while your account is active. You confirm that your organization has the right to use them.
The logo is published at an address that anyone who has it can open, including on sign-in screens. Cached copies may remain for up to a year after you replace or remove it. Do not upload a logo that must stay private.
QuickBooks Online
QuickBooks Online is a service of Intuit Inc. Your QuickBooks account is governed by your agreement with Intuit. This license governs only what we do in it.
Your organization's owner or its authorized accountant can connect your QuickBooks Online company. Our authorized staff can also manage the connection on your organization's instructions. Connecting authorizes the following actions:
- When you connect: read the company's information and keep its name and ID, so that the portal can show which company is connected.
- When an authorized person opens the QuickBooks page: read your active vendors and expense accounts to populate the connection settings. When those settings are saved, read the selected vendor and account. If you leave the vendor blank, we use your vendor named Computing America, and create it if there is none.
- When someone presses Send invoices: create a bill for each of our open or paid invoices, update that bill when the invoice has changed, and delete it when the invoice has been voided. Draft invoices are not sent.
- When someone presses Send invoices: check the connected company's information, then look up bills by stored ID or invoice number. Before changing a bill, we check its vendor and invoice number. Without a stored link, we also require a unique matching bill with our invoice identifier. Conflicting or ambiguous matches are reported for review without changing those bills.
What we do not do in QuickBooks
The access Intuit grants covers your accounting data. We use it only for the company, vendor, expense account and bill actions listed above. We do not request customer, sales, bank-account or payroll records. We do not record payments in QuickBooks or import changes made there into our invoices or payment records.
An owner or authorized accountant can disconnect at any time from the QuickBooks page in the portal, or you can remove Computing America from the connected apps in your QuickBooks settings. When you disconnect from the portal, we request revocation from Intuit and delete our stored connection credentials even if Intuit cannot confirm revocation. Removing the app in QuickBooks revokes access there. The portal deletes its stored connection when Intuit subsequently rejects a token refresh; disconnect in the portal to remove it without waiting for that check. Bills already in your QuickBooks stay there.
Fees
Your organization pays for the service at the prices shown in the portal when a subscription or license starts, or at the rate in its signed agreement, including any flat rate agreed with us. We invoice through the portal. The billing page shows your current monthly charge, or your agreed flat rate and billing frequency.
Suspension and ending the license
Your organization can cancel a subscription from the portal or by writing to us. We may suspend access if an invoice is overdue, or at once if the service is being used in a way that threatens its security, our other clients or the law. Where we can, we tell the owner first and say what will restore access.
When a subscription ends, access to the applications it licenses ends. Canceling a subscription does not by itself close your organization's account or delete its records. To arrange account closure, data export or deletion, an authorized owner can write to info@computingamerica.com. We handle the request under your agreement and applicable law, and explain which records must remain and why. The portal privacy notice describes the criteria used to retain records.
Availability and warranties
We work to keep the service available and correct, but we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted or free of errors. Except for what a signed agreement promises, and to the extent the law allows, the service is provided as-is and without warranties of any kind, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
The bills we create in QuickBooks are copies of our invoices. Your organization remains responsible for its own books, and for reviewing what is entered in them.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, Hyrax LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for lost profits, revenue or data, arising from the service. Our total liability arising from the service is limited to the fees your organization paid us for it in the twelve months before the claim arose.
A signed agreement's liability terms replace this section where they differ. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Changes to this license
We may revise this license. Each revision states when it takes effect. We will email your organization's owners at least thirty days before a change that reduces their rights takes effect and provide the revised terms. The existing terms continue to apply until then. Continuing to use the service after the new effective date means the revised license applies, subject to your signed agreement and applicable law.
Governing law
This license is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Texas.
