Each commercial host is solely responsible for the security, privacy and availability its hosting services, and while Intuit will require a third-party accreditation for each selected host. Intuit does not endorse, certify, sponsor, or guarantee host's services.
Additionally, commercial hosts are required to have a separate written agreement with their customers that governs the customers' use of the hosting services.
To become an Intuit-Authorized Hosting company, your firm must complete an application and independent third-party accreditation. If invited to participate, you will enter into a licensing & distribution agreement with Intuit. (NOTE: Intuit does not provide instructions/guidance on how to set up or manage a secure hosting environment.)
Requirements
To perform as a commercial host, you must:
- Have a SAS-70 Type-II certified Tier 1 data center, physically located in Canada, with all hosting infrastructure and processes accredited by MSP Alliance
- Enter into a commercial hosting agreement with Intuit
- Pay the required initiation, monthly, and annual renewal fees, and submit basic monthly reporting corresponding to the monthly fees paid and numbers of licenses and users hosted
- Require all customers who are QuickBooks users to enter into a separate services agreement with host directly (which governs those customers' use of the hosting services, and which contains specific, required terms and conditions related to their use of QuickBooks software).
- Provide all QuickBooks users with ready access to their own individual QuickBooks license information
- Provide each QuickBooks user access to only those versions and version-years of QuickBooks for which he/she supplies you with license information
