I. Quicken Simplifi Membership Agreement

This Quicken Simplifi Membership Agreement (also referred to as the "Membership Agreement" or "Agreement") applies to your use of Products and Services. The term "Product" includes any Simplifi branded software that we offer, as well as any related Products such as third-party software or apps that we make available to members. The term "Services" includes other functionality, such as the ability to download data from third parties or the ability to pay bills from within a Product. In some cases, a third-party Service Provider (such as a vendor) that is working on our behalf or another third party may provide Products or Services. The terms Product and Services do not apply to Quicken Classic branded products and services which have their own Terms of Use which can be found here.

The Membership Term. The Membership Term is the amount of time for which you have full rights to use the Products and Services. The Membership Term is generally either one (1) month, or one (1) year, depending on your choice at the time of registration, but we may sometimes offer trial Memberships of a different duration. If you purchase your Membership directly from Quicken Inc. at Quicken.com, the Membership Term begins at the time of purchase. For sales via digital download other than on Quicken.com, the Membership Term begins at the time of payment. At the end of the Membership Term, some features and functionality of our Products and Services will no longer be available to you.

Your Right to Use Products and Services. The exact combination of Products and Services that you may use will depend upon which Membership plan and platform you choose. Some plans or platforms may offer different functionality than other plans or platforms. The specific features, functionality, or capabilities of any Membership plan may be added to, altered, or removed at any time in response to customer feedback, business or technology changes, market conditions, and the like. More information on the features is available at www.quicken.com/simplifi/features/.

You acknowledge that the Products and Services are licensed and not sold. So long as you comply with the terms of this Membership Agreement and any other applicable terms and conditions, you are granted a personal, limited, nonexclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Products and Services during the Membership Term.

When you use the Products or Services you agree to the Quicken Inc. Acceptable Use Policy, the Quicken Inc. E-Sign Act Policy Notice and Consent, and to: 

  • Provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form. You must maintain and update this information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete.

You agree that you are solely responsible for keeping your Third-Party Credentials safe and secure and preventing unauthorized access to your account. In most instances, we cannot assist you with credentials support for Third-Party Products and Services; you must contact the relevant third parties directly.

For recurring Memberships, you authorize us to, upon the end of your Membership Term, automatically renew your periodic subscription at the then-current rates, unless you or we terminate this Agreement.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR CANADA USERS

In addition to the terms set forth above, the provisions of this section apply to the purchase of any Membership or Subscription and use of any Product or Service in Canada.

When you license a Product or Service on a subscription basis (referred to as a "Paid Subscription"), the Product or Service becomes immediately available to you once your initial payment is processed. Your Paid Subscription will continue for a period specified at the time of order. The Paid Subscription is paid in full in advance and you will be charged the applicable subscription price stated at the time of purchase as one lump sum, plus applicable taxes. Payments will be billed to you in Canadian dollars. When you purchase a Paid Subscription, it will renew automatically at the end of the applicable subscription period, and we will bill you for an additional subscription term at the then-current price unless the Paid Subscription is cancelled or terminated under this Agreement. If you do not wish your Paid Subscription to auto-renew, you may opt out of auto-renewal at any time before the end of your current subscription period. If you cancel your Paid Subscription within 30 days of the start date of your initial subscription period, you will receive a full refund. If you cancel more than 30 days after the start date of your initial subscription period, you will not be entitled to a refund on any remaining portion of your Paid Subscription and will continue to have access to the Product or Service until the end of your contracted term. Cancellation can be requested at any time by visiting your My Account page or by contacting our Customer Service Centre at 1 (650) 250-1900. If you cancel your Paid Subscription and you later decide to re-subscribe, you will be charged the then-current subscription price.

Province-Specific Terms. These terms apply only to consumers in the following province. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and this Section, the terms of this Section shall apply:

Québec Consumers. If you are a Québec Consumer, the following terms apply to you:

  • Disclaimer of Warranties. The sole warranty applicable to this Agreement and the Products and Services is the mandatory legal warranty provided under the Civil Code of Québec and any warranty provided for under the Consumer Protection Act (Québec). Quicken does not represent that the Products or Services are appropriate or available for use in all countries. Quicken prohibits accessing materials from countries or states where contents are illegal. You are using the Products and Services on your own initiative, and you are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws. SOME PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE EXCLUSIONS IN THE "DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES" SECTION ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE WARRANTY PROVISION ABOVE GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM PROVINCE TO PROVINCE.

Modifications. The provisions relating to the Services, the price and payment terms for the Services, the party providing the Services, renewal and termination rights, and any provision of the Privacy Policy may be modified or amended upon 30 days prior written notice setting out (i) the new clause or the amended clause and the clause as it read formerly, and (ii) the date of the coming into force of such modification or amendment.

Quicken does not represent that the Software is appropriate or available for use in all countries. Quicken prohibits accessing materials from countries or states where contents are illegal. You are using the Software on your own initiative, and you are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws. SOME PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE EXCLUSIONS IN THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE WARRANTY PROVISION ABOVE GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM PROVINCE TO PROVINCE.

Language. The parties hereby confirm that they have requested that this Agreement and all related documents be drafted in English. Les parties ont exigé que le présent contrat et tous les documents connexes soient rédigés en anglais.

II. Payments

If you use the payments functionality of the Products or Services, you agree that you will provide our Third-Party Service Providers with sufficient information to create instructions to make or receive payments. The Third-Party Service Providers we partner with to provide this service have cutoff times for receipt of payment instructions and you understand that neither Simplifi nor the Third-Party Service Providers guarantee a specific time in which payment transactions initiated through your Quicken Simplifi Account will be completed.

If you use your Quicken Simplifi Application to initiate a funds transmittal that is later determined to be underfunded or otherwise is not debited by the third-party bank account that has been linked by and chosen by you as the withdrawal source for the transaction, you acknowledge that where the transaction is completed and the recipient receives funds, you maintain liability for the funds to Quicken Inc. As such, Quicken Inc. or its Third-Party Partners may continue to represent the transaction requested by you to your bank for up to seven (7) days until such time as the account is appropriately funded to support payment. If after that seven-day period, the transaction remains underfunded or unfunded, your information may be provided to a third party whose responsibility will include a collection of funds owed by you to Quicken Inc. Additionally, we are not responsible for overdraft fees or other similar or related fees charged by your bank in instances where an overdraft occurs on an originating account which is underfunded following a legitimate transaction request.

For questions regarding any specific transaction or its anticipated timing, please contact Simplifi Care at 888-688-2004.

For any unauthorized transactions, please immediately contact Simplifi Care at 888-688-2004 if you believe that:

  • your Payments Account has been accessed without your authorization;
  • a transaction has occurred that you did not authorize;
  • a transaction has been processed incorrectly by the Simplifi Application; or
  • your transaction history contains an error

For clarity, if you give a third-party access to your Quicken Simplifi Account and that person conducts transactions you did not anticipate, these transactions are not considered an error.

III. Third-Party Products and Services

Some Products and Services have functionality that is provided by third parties (including our Third-Party Service Providers in some cases). In some cases, Products and Services are provided by third parties entirely. All of these things are called Third-Party Products or Third-Party Services, or Third-Party Products and Services collectively. Some examples of Third-Party Products and Services are online payment services, financial data aggregation services, credit reporting or monitoring, billing functionality, data storage and management, information services, and financial offerings. Other Third-Party Products and Services may be added in the future. The following provisions apply to your use of Third-Party Products and Services:

You must accept and comply with any applicable terms and conditions. You may be required to accept different or additional terms and conditions from our Third-Party Service Providers and third-party providers, even where the Products or Services are delivered to you via the interface with our Products. These different terms and conditions may include privacy, use of data or Content, storage limits, or payment (all such terms collectively the "Third-Party Terms"). You agree to comply with all Third-Party Terms and any requirements imposed by third-party providers (including our Third-Party Service Providers). Third-Party Terms may be updated without notice from time to time, and you agree to check periodically to be sure you have reviewed (and are in compliance with) any updates.

You may be required to create additional Third-Party Credentials, and you give us permission to store, use, and share them if necessary to provide Services that you select. You agree to create additional Third-Party Credentials if required to use Third-Party Products and Services and to manage them according to our requirements and the Third-Party Terms. You should contact Simplifi Care at 888-688-2004 if there are any issues. If you access Third-Party Products or Services from within our Products or Services, then you grant us permission to store your Credentials for the Third-Party Products and Services, and you expressly appoint us as your attorney-in-fact and agent with limited power of attorney and with all necessary rights to use your Credentials on your behalf and to collect, send, receive, retrieve, process, store, and create new Content and other information from these Products and Services.

We may add or remove Third-Party Products and Services at our discretion. You are generally not required to accept Third-Party Products and Services, but you may only choose from available offerings. These offerings may change from time to time as we identify new Third-Party Products and Services that we think you may like, or as we determine that older ones are no longer useful.

The data contained in Third-Party Products and Services may not always be up to date. The latest data may not always be reflected in the Products and Services. You agree that in cases of important data, or where you require the most up-to-date information (such as financial transactions or other important decisions), you will go to the provider of the information directly. If you note a discrepancy between data viewed via our Products and Services, the Third-Party Products and Services, or the source of the data, please check with the source. We do not monitor and have no obligation to monitor any of your Content or other data that is stored or processed via any Third-Party Products and Services.

If you decide to use or access any Third-Party Products and Services through the Quicken Simplifi Application, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) you are responsible for complying with any terms of usage of the Third-Party Products and Services, (b) unless we notify you otherwise, you are solely responsible for payment of any applicable charges or fees, and (c) you will not use the Third-Party Products and Services in a manner that infringes or violates the rights of us or any other third-party, or for any criminal, fraudulent, or other unlawful activity. Except for Third-Party Products and Services that we offer to you directly as part of our Products and Services, we are not affiliated with and do not control any Third-Party Products and Services. In no case do we endorse any Third-Party Products and Services. If you choose to send your Content or other data from within our Products and Services to the providers of Third-Party Products and Services, such data may be transferred to another country where privacy and security controls are less strict. We do not guarantee the safety or security of any such Content or other data.

To the maximum allowable extent, we are not responsible for Third-Party Products and Services. You acknowledge and agree that when we or our Third-Party Service Providers access and retrieve your account information and content from providers of Third-Party Products and services, we are acting as your agent, and not as the agent of the provider. Neither we nor our Third-Party Service Providers review, and we are not responsible for, the accuracy of any data you receive from the providers. You understand and agree that we make no representations or warranties regarding the quality of the Third-Party Products and Services, or any data contained or processed therein. You agree that any and all liability arising out of your use of the Third-Party Products and Services (if any) is solely between you and the providers. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, under no circumstances will we or our Third-Party Service Providers or any of our licensors be liable to you or any other party for any fees, damages, claims, losses, costs, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or in any way related to the Third-Party Products and Services. In no case will you seek to hold us or our Third-Party Service Providers or any of our licensors responsible in any manner for the acts or omissions of such providers, even if negligent or intentionally wrongful.

Links to Third-Party Sites and Information.

We assume no liability in connection with your use of any Third-Party Products or Services. Any Content you post or data that you upload is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies of those sites and platforms. Please refer to those sites to better understand your rights and obligations.

Governing Law; Dispute Resolution:

For users other than Canadian residents, the laws of the state of California govern this Agreement. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to the products or services or any part of this agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision; the arbitrator shall apply California law to all other matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any party to the arbitration may at any time seek injunctions or other forms of equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction. We each agree that any and all disputes must be brought in the parties' individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You agree that you and we are each waiving the right to file a lawsuit and the right to a trial by jury. In addition, you and we agree to waive the right to participate in a class action or litigate on a class-wide basis. You agree that you have expressly and knowingly waived these rights.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Quicken Inc., in care of our registered agent Corporation Service Company, 2710 Gateway Oaks Drive., Suite 150N, Sacramento, CA 95833. Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) before a single AAA arbitrator under the AAA's rules, which are available at https://www.adr.org/ or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees and costs will be governed by the AAA's rules, but if you are unable to pay any of them, we will pay them for you for claims totaling less than $75,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. We and you will not seek its attorneys' fees or other costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that the claims or defenses of a party are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and not appealable, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This section shall survive expiration, termination, or rescission of this Simplifi Membership Agreement.

Opt-Out:

Without limiting the above, you have the right to litigate any Dispute in a court of general jurisdiction if you provide Us with written notice to Quicken Inc., in care of our registered agent Corporation Service Company, 2710 Gateway Oaks Drive., Suite 150N, Sacramento, CA 95833 (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-out Notice”). To be effective, an Arbitration Opt-Out Notice must: (A) contain your name, the date, your email address, and a statement expressing your desire to opt out of binding arbitration; and (B) be received by Us within 30 days of the date you subscribe to Quicken Platform. Except for small claims actions, you knowingly and intentionally waive your right to litigate any dispute in any court of general jurisdiction if you don’t provide us with an arbitration opt-out notice in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any Small Claims Action or any Dispute where you timely provide Us with a valid Arbitration Opt-out Notice are the state and federal courts located in San Mateo, California, and you and we each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. The following Sections below apply to all Disputes that are not Small Claims Actions, IP Protection Actions, or Disputes where you provided Us with a valid Arbitration Opt-Out Notice.

Class Action Waiver:

Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum must be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor we may seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, a representative action, a collective action, a private attorney general action, or in any proceeding in which you or we act(s) or propose(s) to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding may be joined, consolidated, or combined with another arbitration or proceeding without the prior written consent of all parties to any such arbitration or proceeding, including our prior written consent and your prior written consent.

AAA Not Integral to Agreement to Arbitrate:

The use of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) to administer arbitration is not integral to the parties’ agreement to arbitrate Disputes. If the AAA will not or cannot conduct an arbitration, you and We will negotiate in good faith to agree on a sole arbitrator who will resolve the Dispute as provided in the Consumer Procedures. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, either you or We may request a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitrator, who will follow the Consumer Procedures.

Severability:

If one or more parts of this section titled “Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver” are found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, then, and only in that circumstance, those parts will be severed and the Dispute will be resolved subject to all remaining parts. If such severance results in all or some parts of a Dispute proceeding in a court of law, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any such court proceeding will be the state or federal courts sitting in California. For purposes of any such court proceeding, you consent to, and will not challenge, such courts’ personal jurisdiction over you, and you further waive objection based upon improper venue or forum non conveniens and will not seek transfer to another district or jurisdiction.

FAA. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of all provisions of this Agreement relating to arbitration.
