Other:

      1) PPP Software is based on a client server model. The software being installed is known as the 'client' application. At times, the client will contact the PPP server and will upload and download information about the client. Some tasks will include registration verification, software update checks and the updating of the PPP rule sets. By installing this application you agree to allow the PPP Client software and the remote server to communicate with each other for the purpose of information exchange. PPP Software may distribute updates or new versions of the Software, but it reserves the right at any time not to release updates or new versions of the Software or, if released, to alter prices, features, specifications, capabilities, functions, licensing terms, release dates, general availability or other characteristics of the release dates.

      2) While every effort has been made to approve county rendition forms created by PPP with the respective States and/or Counties supported by PPP, you are responsible for verifying the final acceptance and legality of all forms for all counties in all states, and agree to waive any and all liability against TorqueWare, Inc. for any return created by PPP that is filed in any county in any state.

      3) PPP provides the option to print an 'Oklahoma County' version of Form 901 for Oklahoma county returns which differs slightly from the Oklahoma Tax Commission form 901.  Oklahoma County has always accepted our version of their form in prior years.  You waive any and all liability against TorqueWare, Inc. when using this form.  If you have any questions you should contact Oklahoma County before filing this form.

      4) USE OF NAME. TorqueWare and its Authorized Distributors reserve the right to use the name of users of this SOFTWARE in marketing and promotional purposes unless we have received written notification otherwise.  Upon receipt of written notification to terminate use of name, TorqueWare will have reasonable time to remove such use from materials.  Marketing and promotions can include but is not limited to being listed online, in printed or electronic media such as PDF files, CDs, DVDs or other means including telephone or in person.  Unless you have provided us a testimonial, we will not say that your company endorses PPP, but rather that you have simply purchased a license of PPP.

      5) After you register a licensed copy of Personal Property Pro, the program will run for a period of approximately one year, after which time you will need to purchase and register a new license for the current tax year.  If a new license is not obtained and registered, the program will shut down since the forms and calculations may be outdated.

      6) TorqueWare does not provide any services or utilities for data-exporting or data-dumping other than the reports currently generated by the Software.

Distribution of your information: Except as authorized by you, TorqueWare does not sell or offer you or your client’s personally identifiable information to third parties for marketing or other purposes. In some instances, we may be asked to disclose certain information pursuant to a court order, subpoena, search warrant or law enforcement request.

 

U.S. Government Rights: If you are obtaining SOFTWARE on behalf of any part of the United States Government, the SOFTWARE shall be deemed "commercial SOFTWARE" and "commercial computer SOFTWARE documentation," respectively, pursuant to DFAR Section 227.7202 and FAR 12.212, as applicable. Any use, modification, reproduction, release, performance, display or disclosure of the SOFTWARE shall be governed solely by the terms of this Agreement and shall be prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
