This Agreement governs your access to and use of our cloud-based software for the preparation and filing of state and federal payroll forms (the "Service"), available at https://efileworkforcepayroll.com.
By registering for, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement and our Privacy Policy. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these terms. If you do not have such authority or do not agree with these terms, you must not accept this Agreement and may not use the Service.

- "Service" means the Efile Workforce Payroll cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for the preparation and filing of forms, including all features, functionalities, and associated websites.
- "Customer Data" means any data, information, and material you provide, upload, or submit to the Service to generate a Form.
- "Form" or "Filing" means a federal, state, or local tax or information return (e.g., Form 941, 940, W-2, 1099) generated and/or filed by the Service.

You must register for an account to access the Service. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process.
3.2.
You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
4. Service Description and License
4.1. Nature of Service
The Service is a software tool that facilitates the preparation and e-filing of forms based solely on the Customer Data you provide. We are a software provider, not a tax advisor, preparer, or fiduciary.
4.2. License Grant
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use the Service solely for the purpose of preparing and filing your forms.
5. Financial Terms
5.1. Fees
You agree to pay the applicable Filing Fee for each Form you process or file using the Service. All Filing Fees are due and payable at the time of Form preparation and are non-refundable once a Form has been generated or a filing attempt has been initiated.

You authorize us and our designated Third-Party Providers to charge your designated payment method for all applicable Filing Fees and taxes.

- The Filing Fee is a service fee for the use of our software to prepare and/or file a Form. It is not a fee for a successful or accepted filing.
- Once a Form is generated or a filing is initiated, the service has been rendered and the fee is earned.
- Any attempt to initiate a chargeback for a valid, rendered service is a material breach of this Agreement. In such an event:
- Your account will be immediately and permanently terminated.
- You remain liable for the full amount of the Filing Fee plus any associated fees (chargeback fees, legal costs, collection fees, and an administrative fee).
- We reserve the right to report the fraudulent activity to relevant authorities.
