  • QuickBooks Desktop.  QuickBooks Desktop (“QB DT”) is a solution for businesses to perform accounting and business tasks through licenses for one or more desktop personal computers or laptops (each a “QB DT Account”). Each QB DT Account may only be used to support one business under one or more licenses.  QB DT may not be used on a desktop personal computer or laptop which is not authorized under a license.

Note that we may modify the amount of storage space you have through the Services and the number of times (and the maximum duration for which) you may access the Services in a given period of time. In the event we need to maintain the security of the system or comply with any laws or regulations, we reserve the right to modify the Services immediately, and to provide the Administrator with electronic or written notice within thirty (30) days after any material modifications. You may reject any changes to the Services by discontinuing use of the Services to which such changes relate. Your continued use of the Services will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes.

2. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND USERS

When you initially register for and create an account for a Service, you are, or a party that you authorize is, the “Administrator”.

Additional Users may not have the same level of access or rights as an Administrator. You warrant that you have obtained all necessary authorizations from each Additional User to: (i) act as their agent in using the Services on their behalf and you accept all liability arising from their use of the Services; and (ii) allow DLA to provide the Services.

To be very clear, after using the Services during the trial period, if you decide not to purchase the license to the full version of the Services, you will not be able to access or retrieve any of the data you added or created with the Services during the trial.
