14. DISPUTES.  ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE SERVICES OR 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.

15. GENERAL. This Agreement, including the Additional Terms below, is the entire agreement between you and Intuit and replaces all prior understandings, communications and agreements, oral or written, regarding its subject matter. If any court of law, having the jurisdiction, rules that any part of this Agreement is invalid, that section will be removed without affecting the remainder of the Agreement. The remaining terms will be valid and enforceable. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. You cannot assign or transfer ownership of this Agreement to anyone without written approval of Intuit. However, Intuit may assign or transfer it without your consent to (a) an affiliate, (b) a company through a sale of assets by Intuit or (c) a successor by merger.

4.   GUARANTEES
  1. TurboTax Accurate Calculation Guarantee. Intuit diligently works to ensure the accuracy of the calculations on every form prepared using TurboTax Online tax preparation software.
    1. If you are a registered user and you pay an IRS or state penalty and/or interest solely because of a calculation error on a form prepared for you using TurboTax Online, and not as a result of, among other things, your failure to enter all required information accurately, willful or fraudulent omission or inclusion of information on your tax return, misclassification of information on the tax return, or failure to file an amended return to avoid or reduce an applicable penalty/interest after Intuit announced updates or corrections to the TurboTax Online software in time for you to file an amended return, then Intuit will pay you in the amount of the IRS or state penalty and/or interest paid by you to the IRS or state. In this regard, you are responsible for keeping Intuit apprised promptly of any change in your email address, mailing address and/or phone number so that you can be notified of such updates or corrections. You are responsible for paying any additional tax liability you may owe and providing any other information Intuit reasonably requests to validate your claim. A "registered user" is a user from whom Intuit has received the information necessary to permit such person to print or electronically file a tax return prepared using the TurboTax Online software and who complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
    2. If you believe such a calculation error occurred, you must notify Intuit as soon as you learn of the mistake (and in no event later than 30 days after the penalty or interest is assessed) athttp://support.turbotax.com/go/accuracy, or by mail at Intuit Consumer Group Tax Analyst, 2800 E Commerce Center Place, Tucson, AZ 85706. Intuit will then contact you promptly to resolve the issue.  To resolve your matter, Intuit requires your TurboTax tax data file and other supporting information such as a copy of the IRS/state notice, evidence of payment of the specified penalty and/or interest, and a copy of your printed tax return or estimated quarterly taxes form.
  2. Maximum Refund (or Tax Savings) Guarantee or Your Money Back.

Claims must be submitted within sixty (60) days of the date you filed your tax return using TurboTax, but no later than December 15, 2013. All other fees are excluded including, electronic filing fees, Audit Defense, Refund Processing Service and technical support fees.  This guarantee cannot be combined with the Satisfaction Guarantee below.
    2. To qualify, the larger refund or smaller tax due cannot be attributed to variations in data you provided for tax preparation or for positions taken by you or your preparer that are contrary to the law. If you received a larger refund amount or pay a smaller tax due using another tax preparation method other than TurboTax, you must notify Intuit within sixty days of the date you filed your tax return by submitting a claim with the following documents (1) Maximum Refund Guarantee Claim Request Summary, (2) copy of your TurboTax store sales receipt or shipment packing slip, (3) copy of your proof of payment for another tax preparation method (if applicable), (4) copy of your TurboTax data file, (5) copy of the printed return from the other tax preparation method, and (6) letter stating your refund or tax due amount using TurboTax and your refund or tax due amount using another tax preparation method.  Send it to Intuit Consumer Group Inc., Returns Department, 120 Hidden Lake Circle, Duncan, SC 29334.
