Please take a moment to read these terms carefully. You may print the Agreement here. These are the terms and conditions with respect to use of any of the Intercept® business financial planning tools (collectively, “Software”) which are only offered online by DS as a service you use through your browser. You will not download or install any software on your computer.

The Software includes sections relating to capital expenditures, debt, equity, inventory, marketing, sales, staffing and taxes with explanatory videos, in some cases. This Agreement is a month-to-month subscription that is effective when you accept these terms and either request a 10-day trial or pay the initial fee, and continues as you pay the advance subscription fee for each month.

DS will not assist you in preparing your business plan and will not review or edit the plan, but simply pass it on for evaluation.
  4. Fees and Payment. By accepting this Agreement, you authorize DS to charge the credit card that you designated a monthly subscription fee, and additional fees for each additional user and additional services that you request through the DS website, and any applicable taxes. If that credit card expires and you do not update your DS account, DS will suspend or terminate your access to the Software. The subscription fee will be charged at the beginning of your subscription or the end of your free 10-day trial period, if any, whichever occurs first, and on each monthly renewal date thereafter unless and until you end your subscription as described in Section 10 below. To see the renewal date on which your card will be charged, go to the billing information section of your DS account. DS will give you advance notice by email if the subscription fee changes but will not notify you of any change in applicable taxes, if any.
