If you are a new customer to FirstBIT Services, you can select to buy FirstBIT Services immediately without a free trial by signing up and paying directly to FirstBIT.

If you wish to reduce access to certain FirstBIT Services add-on modules you may do so from the commencement of your next monthly subscription when your fees will be calculated to take account of your reduced access to the FirstBIT Services components.

If you choose to do this, we cannot accept any liability for the actions of your FirstBIT Accountant Partner including, without limitation, their access to your FirstBIT Services account or the data contained within it. Except where your FirstBIT accountant has set up your FirstBIT Services account (in which event, clause Setting up FirstBIT Services account through a FirstBIT Accountant Partner shall apply), you can withdraw your FirstBIT Accountant’s access to your FirstBIT Services account at any time.

If you make a payment for your FirstBIT Services to your FirstBIT Accountant Partner and not to FirstBIT (until such time that we, and/or your FirstBIT Accountant Partner notify you to pay us directly) for your use of FirstBIT Services, your FirstBIT Accountant Partner will manage your FirstBIT Services account. As you cannot withdraw your FirstBIT Accountant Partner’s access to your FirstBIT Services account in these circumstances, you would need to request that your FirstBIT Partner withdraws their access to your FirstBIT Services account.
