What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee is an Administrator for QuickBooks Online and authorizes Additional Users to access the service through the same account, the franchisee must obtain certain authorizations from each Additional User. Specifically, the Administrator must warrant that they have obtained all necessary authorizations from each Additional User to: (i) act as their agent in using the Services on their behalf and accept all liability arising from their use of the Services; and (ii) allow Intuit to provide the Services.

This means that before allowing Additional Users to access QuickBooks Online through the franchisee's account, the franchisee must ensure they have explicit permission to act on the Additional User's behalf within the service and to allow Intuit (the provider of QuickBooks Online) to provide the service to that user. This is important because the Administrator is held liable for the Additional Users' actions within the service.

This requirement protects both Remax and Intuit from potential legal issues arising from unauthorized use of the software. It also ensures that all parties understand their roles and responsibilities when accessing and using the QuickBooks Online service through a Remax franchise. The franchisee should maintain records of these authorizations to demonstrate compliance.
