Welcome to Digb, offered by Digb, Inc. (“Digb,” “we,” or “us”). This page explains the terms by which you may use our online and/or mobile services, including the Digb platform (the “Platform”), website, and software provided on or in connection with the service (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, or by clicking a button or checking a box marked “I Agree” (or something similar), you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (this “Agreement”) and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in our Privacy Policy, whether or not you are a registered user of our Service, and if you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement or our Privacy Policy, you may not use the Service.
We reserve the right to modify these terms and will provide notice of these changes as described below. This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service (“Users”).
1. Our Service
Digb provides a place for you to optimize your real estate and taxes. Through our Service, you can, among other things, get a real-time picture of your tax liability and file your tax returns.
1.1 Eligibility
This Agreement is a contract between you and us. You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with us, and only in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations. Any use or access to the Service by anyone under 18 is strictly prohibited and in violation of this Agreement. The Service is not available to any Users previously removed from the Service by us.
1.2 Provision of the Service
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we will provide the Service to you for your personal, noncommercial use for so long as you, as applicable, have an active Monthly or Annual Subscription Plan with us.
1.3 Tax Return Service
You may use the Service to prepare or have prepared valid federal and state tax return(s) for which you have paid the applicable fee(s), and after proper registration and any applicable payment, to file electronically and/or print such federal and state tax return(s). No more than one (1) federal tax return may be filed from the Services or from any one email address entered within the Services. You can file a late or amended tax return for applicable tax year, through the Services, as permitted by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and supported by the Service. You may not use the services to prepare tax returns, schedules, or worksheets on a professional or commercial basis (i.e., for a preparer's or other fee).
If you choose to file your return electronically, the tax return will be converted to and stored in a standardized format, and then transmitted to the applicable federal and/or state taxing authority. You are responsible for verifying the status of your return to confirm that it has been received and accepted by the applicable taxing authority and, if necessary, for filing it manually in the event that the taxing authority rejects your electronically filed return (e.g., if the taxpayer name and SSN don't match). You agree to review your tax return for indications of obvious errors before electronically filing or mailing it. To the extent required by applicable law and regulation, we store and maintain information that you provide to us in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We are not required or obligated to provide you with a copy of your tax return.
In connection with the electronic filing of your tax return, the IRS may require us to notify it of the IP address of the computer from which the return originated and whether the email address of the person electronically filing the return has been collected. By using the Service to prepare and submit your tax return, you consent to the disclosure to the IRS and any other tax or revenue authority of all information relating to the electronic filing of your tax return. If you are filing one or more state tax returns, then by using a computer system and software to prepare and transmit return(s) electronically, you consent to the disclosure of all information pertaining to your use of the system and software to the states in which you are filing the returns, as applicable by law, and to the transmission of your tax return(s).
Any live tax return support services offered via the Service (the “Live Support Services”) will be based on information you provide and some tax topics or situations may not be included as part of this Service, which shall be determined in our sole discretion. If you request a full review of your tax return or if the assistance with your tax return requires significant oversight and actual preparation, we, in our sole discretion, may be obligated to sign your return as the preparer and will then have primary responsibility for the preparation of your return. You are still responsible for reviewing your return before it is filed to verify its overall completeness and accuracy. You also understand and agree that once you delegate preparation of your tax return to us, you may no longer be able to make changes to your tax return within the Services. We may use a variety of methods (e.g., in-product, widgets, Internet, remote access, online community, chat, e-mail, video, and phone) in our sole discretion to provide technical support and customer service in connection with the Live Support Services. The terms and conditions governing the offering of these Live Support Services, which may require the payment of an additional fee, are subject to change as announced by us from time to time. If you choose to allow a Digb agent to have remote access to your computer via the Internet to provide help, you should close other browsers or applications or follow other instructions to enable such access. We will use reasonable judgment to resolve questions in your favor where a tax law may be unclear, to the extent permitted by professional conduct and applicable law and provided there is substantial authority for doing so. If there are conflicting interpretations of the law, we will explain the possible positions that may be taken on your tax return(s). We will follow the position you request, provided it is consistent with our understanding of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), tax regulations, Revenue Rulings, Revenue Procedures, Private Letter Rulings and any related court cases.
You are required to provide us with access to all necessary supporting tax documentation (W-2, 1099, etc.) as requested by us through the Live Support Services. We have the right, in our sole discretion, to cease providing you with Live Support Services if you fail to provide requested information or do not respond to our requests in a timely manner. If you provide any of your information within less than 10 days of the tax filing deadline, we may ask you to file an extension or be unable to provide Live Support Services. We cannot be relied upon to discover errors, fraud or other irregularities in prior year tax returns or other documents, should any exist. We will not independently audit or otherwise verify the information you submit, although we may ask you for clarification of some of the information.
You are responsible for maintaining adequate documentation to substantiate the accuracy and completeness of your tax returns. You acknowledge and agree that you must comply with state and federal recordkeeping requirements, including those of the IRS. We have no obligation to store your tax documents other than to the extent required by applicable law and regulation. You agree to hold us harmless from any liability, including but not limited to, additional tax, penalties, interest and professional fees resulting from the disallowance of tax deductions due to inadequate documentation.
These forms may use a third party e-signature provider which you agree to use. You agree that with your electronic signature on these forms you represent that you and any joint filer have received a copy of, reviewed, and approved the final tax return(s) as complete and accurate.
Electronic filing may not be available for certain tax returns or in some states in which case DIgb may use the assistance of a third party software. Our responsibility with respect to e-filing your tax return(s) is limited to using commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate your transmission of your tax return(s) to the applicable taxing authority who accept them. If we cannot electronically transmit your tax return, you will have to manually sign the tax returns and mail the returns directly to the tax authority. If required, we will provide you with paper copies of your tax returns and instructions where to send them. You will be responsible for postage and mailing of the tax return(s).
You agree that for returns with “married filing jointly” filing status, both spouses are deemed to be customers of Digb and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Both individuals acknowledge that there is no expectation of privacy between the spouses by us concerning the Services, in connection with this Agreement. We shall be at liberty to share with either of you, without prior consent of the other, documents and other information concerning the preparation of your tax return(s).
The United States imposes reporting requirements with respect to persons having certain direct and indirect interests in a foreign bank account or other foreign financial assets. Failure to comply with these reporting requirements may result in substantial civil and criminal penalties. You are responsible for informing us of all foreign assets and we may determine that you are not eligible for the tax return Service based on your situation with such foreign assets. If we prepare your individual income tax return, you will be responsible for filing any required foreign tax returns or required foreign account reporting, including FBAR Form 114. You, and not us, assume all liability for any penalties associated with the failure to file, or untimely filing, of any of these forms.We reserve the right to refuse to prepare a tax return for any reason in our sole discretion. Additionally, the availability of Live Support Services or our ability to meet your tax filing deadlines is subject to reasonable timing allowed, presentation of documents and your prompt response to inquiries or materials required for your tax return(s).
We reserve the right to revoke a delegated tax return for any reason in our sole discretion. Additionally, the availability of the Live Support Services or our ability to meet your tax filing deadlines is subject to reasonable timing allowed, presentation of documents and your response to inquiries or materials required for your tax return.

10. Arbitration, Class Waiver, Jury Trial Waiver, Governing Law and Venue
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND DIGB TO ARBITRATE YOUR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY OF A JURY TRIAL.
10.1 Arbitration.
Both you and Digb agree to resolve by binding arbitration any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether based in contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory) arising out of or in connection with or relating to (1) the Services, your use of the Services, or the information that you provide us in connection with your use of the Services, or (2) this Agreement, including without limitation, the validity, interpretation, enforcement, or application of this Agreement and/or this Section (collectively, “Claims”). Both you and Digb further agree that the arbitrator will also have the exclusive authority to determine all additional threshold arbitrability issues, including without limitation issues relating to whether this Agreement is unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
10.2 Class Action Waiver.
YOU AND DIGB AGREE THAT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER. Further, unless both you and Digb agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. Any determination about the validity, interpretation, enforcement, and/or application of this Class Action Waiver paragraph is delegated to the arbitrator.
10.3 Jury Trial Waiver.
YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND DIGB ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
10.4 Arbitration Procedure.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the Claim to the other party by certified mail or Federal Express, or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice“). Our address for notice is Digb, Inc., Two Embarcadero Center, 8th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94111. You and Digb agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the Claim, but if the parties do not resolve the Claim within 30 days of the Notice, then either party may commence arbitration. Any arbitration between you and us will be governed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“) Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules“), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting us. Unless you and Digb otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim is for less than $10,000, we will reimburse your filing fee, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, in which case the payment of all fees will be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules. If your claim is for greater than $10,000, the payment of all fees will be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
10.5 Exceptions.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, you and Digb both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, provided that is the sole form of relief sought, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
10.6 Governing Law; Venue.
The parties agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”) and AAA Rules will govern interpretation and enforcement of this Section where applicable. All other claims, disputes, or controversies will be resolved under the laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. For any claims, disputes or controversies that are not subject to mandatory arbitration under this Section, you and Digb agree that (i) the federal and state courts located in San Francisco County, California will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolution of the claim, dispute or controversy, and you and Digb irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of federal and state courts located in San Francisco County, California, and (ii) litigation of any claim, dispute, or controversy proceeding in court will be stayed pending the outcome of any related individual Claim in arbitration.
10.7 Severability; Survival.
If any clause or provision set forth in this Section is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future law, then the clause or provision so determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable will be severable without affecting the enforceability of all remaining clauses or provisions. This Section will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
10.8 Changes and Opt-out.
You may opt out of the applicability of this Section by providing us with a written opt-out notice within 30 days of the “Last Modified” date above. This written notice must be provided by mail to Digb, Inc., Two Embarcadero Center, 8th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94111.
