MYOB AccountRight Terms of Use

Terms of use for MYOB AccountRight

OVERVIEW

These terms and conditions (Terms) apply to your use of AccountRight, including Subscription Plans for AccountRight Plus, AccountRight Premier and AccountRight Standard. By purchasing a Subscription Plan or using AccountRight, you agree to be bound by these Terms. These Terms are a binding contract between us and you.

If you use an installed (desktop) version of AccountRight, the AccountRight End User Licence Agreement will also apply.

Read these Terms carefully as they outline your legal rights and obligations.

Words that are capitalised have defined meanings. You can find a list of defined words and their meanings in the Glossary at the end of this document.

When you sign up for a Subscription Plan, you sign up on a rolling monthly basis. You can terminate or cancel your Subscription Plan by following the instructions in section 8.2(a).

We might make changes to our Terms, Subscription Plans or Fees from time to time. See section 6 for information about when we will let you know about changes, and what rights you have if we make changes. 

1. Subscribing to and using AccountRight

1.1 These Terms apply to AccountRight

We agree to supply, and you agree to use, AccountRight in accordance with these Terms.

1.2 Choosing a Subscription Plan that is right for you

Descriptions of the Subscription Plans we offer in Australia and New Zealand are available on our website.

Product and support inclusions and limitations are set out on our website and will be disclosed to you before you sign-up for a Subscription Plan.For example, there may be limits on the number of employees you can pay or the number of inventory items you can track.  Some functionality is only available if your AccountRight file is online.

1.3 Upgrading or downgrading your Subscription Plan

You can upgrade or downgrade your Subscription Plan at any time by following these instructions.

If you choose to upgrade your Subscription Plan, the upgraded functionality will be immediately available, and Changes to the Fees you are required to pay will take effect immediately.

If you choose to downgrade your Subscription Plan, you will still have access to your original Subscription Plan until the end of your current subscription period, and changes to the Fees you are required to pay will take effect on renewal (unless otherwise agreed with you).

1.4 Your responsibilities

Do’s and Don’ts

As a Subscriber, you must:

  • Provide current contact details. You must ensure that we have your up-to-date contact details.

  • Control access under your Subscription Plan and ensure your User list remains up-to-date. You control who has access to AccountRight under your Subscription Plan, and which Users can view and modify your Subscriber Data.

    You can add or remove Users, or change their level of access or permissions at any time by following these instructions. Certain Users (such as Owners, Online Administrators or Advisors) can also add or remove Users, or change their level of access.

    You are responsible for the acts or omissions of your Users in relation to AccountRight. You must ensure that your Users are aware of, and comply with, these Terms.

    If a User leaves your business, it is your responsibility to remove their access to AccountRight.

  • Pay Fees. If you are responsible for paying Fees for your Subscription Plan, you must comply with the obligations set out in section 7. You are liable for any Fees accrued by Users you grant certain permissions to (for example, any Administrator, Accountant/Bookkeeper or Payroll users you appoint).

  • Provide accurate data. You are responsible for verifying the accuracy and completeness of any Subscriber Data (including Payroll Data) that you or your Users input into AccountRight.

  • Backup Data. There is an inherent risk of data loss with any technology. You should regularly backup your records and Subscriber Data.

  • Keep your own records. You should retain a copy of your business and financial records (including invoices, receipts, business reports and Subscriber Data).

  • Comply with Applicable Law. It is your responsibility to comply with Applicable Law, including retaining records for Tax Law and Employment Law compliance purposes. If your Subscription Plan is terminated or cancelled, you should extract your Subscriber Data in its entirety as soon as possible by following the instructions set out in section 8.3(d).

  • Make sure that AccountRight is right for you. Product features and functionality may change over time. Your needs may also evolve. This means that AccountRight may not be, or may not remain, suitable for your needs. You must assess the ongoing suitability of your Subscription Plan and AccountRight to meet your needs.

As either a Subscriber or User, you must:

  • Keep your username and password secure and confidential. You should never:

    • tell anyone your username and password; or

    • let anyone else, whether acting as your agent or not, access AccountRight using your username and password.

You should be particularly careful when accessing AccountRight from a public computer or over public Wi-Fi.

If you think anyone else might know your login credentials, you should reset the affected password in AccountRight, or contact us without delay to arrange a password reset.

When accessing AccountRight as either a Subscriber or User, you must not: 

  • use AccountRight in a way that contravenes any Applicable Law or violates a third party’s legal rights;

  • interfere with the operation of AccountRight;

  • reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to discover source code, formulae or processes in respect of the software behind AccountRight;

  • copy, reproduce, alter, modify, create derivative works, or publicly display, any part of any AccountRight content (except in respect of Subscriber Data or where we have given you prior written consent);

  • use AccountRight in any way which is: harmful, threatening, abusive, vulgar, obscene or otherwise objectionable;

  • upload any material (including pdf. and .jpg files) into AccountRight that: contains Personal Information of any individual without that individual’s express or implied consent; or infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party;

  • directly or indirectly introduce, or permit the introduction into AccountRight of, any software viruses or other malicious computer code, files or programs, or in any other manner whatsoever corrupt, interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of AccountRight;

  • use AccountRight to send “spam” or otherwise make available any offering which violates these Terms;

  • remove, modify or tamper with any copyright, acknowledgment, attribution, trade mark, warning, disclaimer, regulatory or legal notice or link that is incorporated into AccountRight; or

  • act in a manner that is verbally or physically abusive, threatening or amounts to bullying or harassment of any of our employees, contractors or agents (including our customer support teams).

1.5 Product Support

Contact our customer support team for Australia or New Zealand using the contact information set out on our website.

Support is also available via our Help Centre, Community forum or online chat.

Our customer support team will only respond to communications from you (if you are the Subscriber) or nominated Users with the right permissions. For security reasons, our customer support team will not respond to instructions or requests from your other Employees.

1.6 Disruption

AccountRight may be disrupted during certain periods due to circumstances or events beyond our reasonable control, including as a result of:

  • internet service provider or telecommunications unavailability, interruption, delay, bottleneck, failure or fault;

Updates about system downtime are also posted on our website.

2. Other Applications

2.1 Other Applications may be suitable for use in conjunction with AccountRight. Other Applications are offered by third parties and may be subject to their own terms of use. For example, you may be required to pay fees to a third party, in addition to the Fees you pay to us for AccountRight or for the use of Premium Features.

2.2 Access to Subscriber Data

If you install or enable any Other Application for use with AccountRight, you consent to us allowing the Other Application to access your Subscriber Data as required to enable AccountRight and the Other Application to operate together. Any exchange of data or other interaction between you and the Other Application provider is between you and them. We are not responsible or liable for any disclosure, modification, or deletion of your Subscriber Data as a result of any access to AccountRight by the Other Application provider (except to the extent caused or contributed to by a breach of Applicable Law or these Terms by us or a Third Party acting on our instructions).

7.1 This section applies to you, as a Subscriber, if you are responsible for paying all or part of the Fees for your Subscription Plan.

You will be responsible for paying the Fees unless another person (such as a Professional Partner) is responsible for paying the Fees. If they stop paying us, you will need to pay the Fees to continue using AccountRight, in compliance with this section 7.

7.2 Fees payable under your Subscription Plan

When you select your Subscription Plan, you will be informed of the pricing, product tier inclusions and limitations which are relevant to your Subscription Plan.

All Subscription Plans include access to a base subscription, the use of which incurs a fixed monthly Subscription Fee and, depending on your plan, may include access to Premium Features, the use of which incurs additional fees and charges.

If the Premium Features you use include online invoice payments, these terms and conditions and fees and charges apply.

Your monthly invoice will consist of a fixed monthly Subscription Fee which is charged in advance of the applicable subscription period and (if applicable) any variable Pay-Per-Use Fees or Fees for Premium Features which are charged in arrears.

7.3 Free Trial 

We may make AccountRight available to new subscribers for a free trial period (Trial). Unless otherwise stated, Premium Features are not included in the Trial offer. If you use Premium Features during your Trial, Fees may apply to those Premium Features. Unless you terminate or cancel your Subscription Plan during the Trial, it will automatically rollover to a paid Subscription Plan at the end of your Trial and you will be required to pay us the Fees described in the Subscription Plan while your subscription remains active. By providing us with your credit card or other payment details and signing electronically to confirm that you agree to the Direct Debit Authority, you authorise us to deduct the Fees payable to us in respect of your use of AccountRight after the end of the Trial.

7.4 Payment Terms

If you are responsible for paying the Fees for your Subscription Plan, you must provide us with a direct debit authority in accordance with section 7.5 and pay Fees by the due date stated on the relevant invoice (unless otherwise agreed with you). Your fixed monthly Subscription Fee is payable in advance, within 7 days of receipt of your invoice. Different payment terms may apply to the use of Premium Features and will be specified in the relevant product terms and conditions.

7.5 Direct Debit

(a) Direct Debit Authority

As a Subscriber, you authorise us to deduct the Fees payable to us in respect of your use of AccountRight by providing us with your credit card or other payment details and signing electronically to confirm that you agree to the Direct Debit Authority. If your Direct Debit Authority is cancelled or withdrawn, you must provide us with a replacement direct debit authority (unless we agree to another payment method).

(b) Recurring Payments

When you purchase a Subscription Plan, you agree that you are authorising recurring payments, and payments will be made to us by the method and at the recurring intervals you have agreed to, until the end of the month in which the Subscription Plan is terminated or cancelled.

(c) Processing Fee payments

  • Debiting of Fees will ordinarily occur on the invoice due date (but may occur at other times if permitted under your Direct Debit Authority). If you are responsible for paying the Fees for your Subscription Plan, we will provide you with a monthly invoice detailing the Fees that will be debited from your account.

  • Your first base subscription payment for AccountRight may be pro-rated for the appropriate number of days until the end of that month.

  • You can view Premium Feature usage charges (including Pay-Per-Use Fees) at any time via “My Account”. Online invoice payment fees and charges are available via the online invoice payments portal.

  • As a Subscriber, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have sufficient credit or funds available in your nominated credit card or bank account to cover your monthly payment, and that your credit card or account details are up to date.

  • If we cannot debit your Fees from your credit card or bank account, we will notify you that your account has fallen into arrears and may attempt to re-draw up to 3 further times before the direct debit is considered to be dishonoured.

  • You are responsible for paying any dishonour fee(s) charged by your financial institution.

  • As a Subscriber, you can update your payment details at any time via “Manage my product” within the “My Account” dashboard. Following any update, you authorise us to continue to charge the applicable credit card or bank account, including for any outstanding Fees accrued by you or your Users in connection with your use of AccountRight.

(d) Late payment

If undisputed Fees remain unpaid for a period of 30 days after you receive a written notice from us requiring you to pay the outstanding Fees, we may suspend or terminate your Subscription Plan in accordance with section 8.2(b).

(e) If there has been a problem

If you believe there has been an error in debiting your credit card or bank account, you should notify us immediately at accounts@myob.com so that we can resolve your query promptly. If your credit card or bank account has been incorrectly debited by more than it should have been, we will arrange a refund of the incorrect debit. If there is a genuine dispute about an amount that was debited from your account, and you have notified us about the dispute, we will hold the amount on trust for you pending the outcome of a dispute resolution process. If there is a genuine dispute about an amount due for payment that has not been debited from your account, and you have notified us about the dispute, we will not debit the disputed amount until after the outcome of a dispute resolution process.

7.6 Goods and services tax (GST)

All Fees are subject to GST. If a Fee is stated as being GST inclusive, then it already includes the GST. If a Fee does not say it is GST inclusive, then we will add GST to the amount.

8. Term and Termination

8.1 Automatic renewal

When you sign up for a Subscription Plan, you sign up on a rolling monthly basis. Your Subscription Plan will automatically renew at the end of the current one-month subscription period for a further one-month period, unless your Subscription Plan is terminated in accordance with these Terms. You are required to give us notice at least 10 days before the end of your current subscription period if you do not want to renew your Subscription Plan, to give us sufficient time to process your request.

8.2 Termination

(a) How can you terminate or cancel your subscription?

  • For any reason

As a Subscriber, you can terminate or cancel your Subscription Plan for any reason, or no reason, by notifying us at least 10 days before renewal of your monthly Subscription Plan, so that we have sufficient time to process your request. This can be done from within the “My Products” page of your “My Account” dashboard or by contacting our customer support team for Australia or New Zealand. The effective date of termination or cancellation will be the last day of the current subscription period (or, if you notify us less than 10 days before the end of the month, the following subscription period). If your Subscription Plan is terminated or cancelled, you and your Users will continue to have access to your Subscription Plan until the end of your billing period and the end of the Data Extraction Period described in section 8.3(d).

We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods unless expressly set out in these Terms, where otherwise required under Applicable Law or otherwise agreed with you.

  • For our breach

As a Subscriber, you can terminate or cancel your Subscription Plan by providing notice if we fail to remedy a material breach of these Terms within 10 days of you giving us notice of the breach in writing.

  • If we suspend performance of our obligations

If we suspend performance of our obligations under these Terms, you have a right, during the period of suspension, to terminate or cancel your Subscription Plan immediately upon notice to us.

  • For any reason

We can terminate or cancel your Subscription Plan for any reason by providing you with at least 60 days’ written notice.

  • For your breach
    We can suspend, terminate or cancel your Subscription Plan by providing written notice if you fail to remedy a material breach of these Terms within 10 days after we give you written notice of the breach, including without limitation where:

    • Fees are overdue; or

    • there is a change in who owns or controls the Subscriber where we were not notified in advance about the change in ownership or control, and the new owners have failed to satisfy our reasonable identity and credit check requirements or failed to provide information that we reasonably require to make changes to the Subscriber’s account.

  • Immediately
    We can suspend your Subscription Plan immediately (and will notify you as soon as we reasonably can) if we believe it is reasonably necessary either to protect the security of AccountRight or the Subscriber Data or any critical AccountRight functionality. We will lift any suspension as soon as we reasonably can after resolution of the issue(s) giving rise to the suspension.

    We can suspend, terminate or cancel your Subscription Plan immediately upon written notice to you (and will notify you as soon as we reasonably can) if:

    • as a Subscriber, you cease to be able to pay all your debts as they fall due, become insolvent, go into liquidation or administration, bankruptcy or such other similar arrangement with creditors, or cease to carry on business (subject to any stay requirements under Applicable Law);

    • a change to any Third Party arrangement necessary for AccountRight renders the ongoing operation of AccountRight substantially unworkable or non-functional, despite us making reasonable efforts to ensure the ongoing operation of AccountRight; or

    • the actions of a regulator or a change in Applicable Law or regulation makes the ongoing operation of AccountRight substantially unworkable or non-functional.

8.3 What happens on Termination or cancellation of your Subscription Plan?

(a) End of your Subscription Plan

Unless otherwise specified in these Terms or mutually agreed with you in writing, termination or cancellation of your Subscription Plan is effective on the last date of your current subscription period. After termination or cancellation of your Subscription Plan is effective:

you and your Users must cease use of AccountRight; and

you and any Users (including Employees) will only be able to access Subscriber Data for the Data Extraction Period described in section 8.3(d) and may not have access to Subscriber Data after the Data Extraction Period ends.

(c) Continuation of limitations on liability 

Any limitations on liability which apply under these Terms continue after termination or cancellation of your Subscription Plan.

(d) Accessing archived Subscriber Data after termination or cancellation of your Subscription Plan

We strongly recommend that, as a Subscriber, you extract your Subscriber Data for compliance and archive purposes either prior to termination or cancellation of your Subscription Plan or as soon as possible following termination or cancellation of your Subscription Plan. Failure to extract and retain your Subscriber Data may result in you being unable to comply with your record retention obligations under Applicable Law (including Tax Law and Employment Law). You acknowledge and agree that:

You will have 30 days from the effective date of termination or cancellation of your Subscription Plan to extract your Subscriber Data from AccountRight (Data Extraction Period) for no additional charge.

The Data Extraction Period also applies to Employees who may need to access their payslips using MYOB Team.

After the Data Extraction Period, you and your Users (including your Employees and, if applicable, Professional Partner) will not have any further guaranteed access to AccountRight or your Subscriber Data.

If you need to access your archived Subscriber Data records after the end of your Data Extraction Period, contact us in Australia or New Zealand. Access to archived Subscriber Data may be subject to additional fees and charges and require that you have an active Subscription Plan to view the records. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to recover your historical Subscriber Data, which is why you should keep your own records and copies of Subscriber Data. We may delete Subscriber Data after theData Extraction Period in accordance with our data retention policies.
