For current TFV SaaS Customers, Trackforce Valiant will ordinarily retain (i) three (3) years of Customer Data in the SaaS environment pertaining to GuardTek SaaS Services, and (ii) three (3) years of Customer Data in the SaaS environment pertaining to Smartforce SaaS Services.

TFV Customers will be notified ninety (90) days prior to the data purge operation in the SaaS Environment. If the Customer does not confirm acceptance of the data purge prior to the end of the ninety (90) days, Trackforce Valiant will not purge the data but, instead, will charge Customer monthly data storage fees (to be invoiced monthly in arrears). Customer shall be required to give Trackforce Valiant thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to terminating the data storage service herein. Options for Customers who desire to retain their historical data are listed below:
1. Customer may request for Trackforce Valiant to backup their SaaS data prior to the purge operation, in a format and delivery method made available by Trackforce Valiant for this purpose, or a standard CSV formatted data dump which Customer may download and retain via SFTP, no more than once per year at Customer’s cost.
2. Customer may elect to have Trackforce Valiant retain their SaaS data online in the SaaS environment for an incremental five percent (5%) per year of their annual SaaS subscription fees. For example, for years 1 to 3 the cost to the Customer to store all production data is included in the standard SaaS fees. For each subsequent year Customer will pay an incremental five percent (5%) per year for additional data retained. Therefore, a Customer for whom Trackforce Valiant retains 7 years of data will pay an additional 5% for year 4, 10% for year 5, 15% for year 6, and 20% for year 7 over their standard SaaS fee.

Customer further acknowledges that TFV may, upon not less than forty-five (45) days prior written notice to Customer, change the ACH Provider.
4.3 In connection with the ACH Services, Customer agrees to maintain such bank accounts as shall be required under the ACH Documents and to maintain in such accounts such funds as shall be necessary to timely satisfy Customer’s net payroll obligations. Failure to properly fund such bank accounts may result in the delay, suspension or termination of service. Customer shall and hereby does authorize the ACH Provider and/or TFV to debit (including by way of ACH debit or reverse wire) Customer’s designated bank account(s) each pay period for the amount of Customer’s net payroll obligations for such pay period that are to be paid by direct deposit or other ACH transaction so that the ACH Provider may process and transmit such direct deposit or other ACH transaction amounts to the appropriate employees. Customer agrees to maintain such funds in such bank account(s) at least 2 banking days prior to pay date for each pay period so as to provide the ACH Provider and/or TFV sufficient time to debit the bank account(s) for such pay period. To the extent necessary, Customer shall and hereby does further authorize the ACH Provider and/or TFV to initiate debit and/or credit entries to Customer’s designated bank account(s) and, if applicable, to employee accounts, to reverse and/or correct amounts previously posted to such accounts in error. Customer does hereby further authorize TFV to provide to the ACH Provider such Customer payroll data and other information as shall be necessary to enable the ACH Provider to perform the ACH Services. Customer agrees to obtain appropriate authorizations from each employee who will be paid by direct deposit or other ACH transaction and agrees to retain such authorizations in Customer’s files until at least the second (2nd) anniversary of the revocation or other termination of the authorization. Such authorizations shall authorize the initiation of credits to the employee’s account for payroll deposits and the initiation of debits to the employee’s account to recover funds credited to such account in error. In connection with the ACH Services, Customer further agrees to comply with the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) and all applicable laws of the United States and Customer represents and warrants that, at the time any employee direct deposit or other ACH transaction is submitted for processing, Customer shall not have actual knowledge of any revocation or other termination of the employee’s authorization or actual knowledge of any termination of the arrangement between the employee and the bank through which the employee’s direct deposit or other ACH transaction will be received. Customer is responsible for any fees, interest and/or penalties if funds are not collectible two banking days prior to check date. Should there be a delay in Customer’s employee direct deposits or other transactions due to a technical error or other error in the EFT System process, Customer understands and agrees that employee payroll funds will be automatically deposited electronically on the banking day subsequent to resolution of the error as is standard practice in the banking and payroll industries. Customer will indemnify and hold TFV harmless from any and all claims, demands, damages or losses (including legal costs and expenses) pertaining to any such delay.
4.4 Customer acknowledges that it will be deemed in default hereunder (i) if Customer fails to materially perform any obligations hereunder (including delays in funding beyond the time(s) specified in these Terms and Conditions, including delays due to returned or rejected drawdown wires), or (ii) if Customer files or has filed against it, a petition for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent or has a substantial portion of its property subject to levy, execution or assignment. If Customer is deemed in default hereunder, then TFV may invoke any and all remedies available to it including, without limitation, suspension or termination of service hereunder and declaring all amounts immediately due and payable.
4.5 Customer understands that if Customer’s credit standing deteriorates to the extent that TFV reasonably believes that Customer’s ability to fund its liabilities is materially impaired, TFV may take steps to revise the timing of funds transfer, and to require, among other things, a drawdown wire to be processed at an earlier time than originally designated.
4.6 Customer authorizes TFV to initiate a nominal test drawdown against Customer’s bank account in order to test the validity of banking information provided by Customer to TFV. The amount of such nominal test drawdown shall be credited back to Customer’s bank account on the next business day.
4.7 Customer agrees to comply with and satisfy its obligations under these Payroll Service Terms and Conditions pertaining to ACH Services, and to indemnify TFV and hold TFV harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses or expenses incurred by TFV as a result of any breach by Customer of its obligations under these Payroll Service Terms and Conditions pertaining to ACH Services.
4.8 Customer agrees to comply with and satisfy its obligations under the ACH Documents, and to indemnify TFV and hold TFV harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses or expenses incurred by TFV as a result of (i) any breach by Customer of its obligations under the ACH Documents, or (ii) any inaccuracy in or incompleteness of any information provided by Customer to TFV under the ACH Documents.

Customer shall and hereby does authorize the Pay Card Service Provider and/or TFV to debit (including by way of ACH debit or reverse wire) Customer’s designated bank account(s) each pay period for the amount of Customer’s Pay Card Service obligations for such pay period so that the Pay Card Service Provider may process and transmit the applicable amounts to the applicable cardholder employees. Customer agrees to maintain such funds in such bank account(s) at least 2 banking days prior to pay date for each pay period so as to provide the Pay Card Service Provider and/or TFV sufficient time to debit the bank account(s) for such pay period. To the extent necessary, Customer shall and hereby does further authorize the Pay Card Service Provider and/or TFV to initiate debit and/or credit entries to Customer’s designated bank account(s) and, if applicable, to employee cardholder accounts, to reverse and/or correct amounts previously posted to such accounts in error. Customer does hereby further authorize TFV to provide to the Pay Card Service Provider such Customer payroll data and other information as shall be necessary to enable the Pay Card Service Provider to perform the Pay Card Services contemplated under these Payroll Service Terms and Conditions and the Pay Card Service Documents.
