Terms of Use

1. Company and agreement

1099ERICH.com is operated by ERICH Incorporated ("ERICH," "we," or "us"). By purchasing, downloading or using a product or service, you agree to these terms and to the product description and order details shown at checkout. If these terms conflict with mandatory consumer-protection law, applicable law controls.

2. Products and order scope

Products include downloadable Windows desktop software and separately listed electronic filing or transmission services. The 1099 IRIS, W-2/W-2C, ACA 1095-B/1095-C, Massachusetts 1099-HC and California Form 592 programs are distinct products. Purchase of one does not include another unless the order expressly states otherwise. A transmission-service order does not automatically include a software license. Service intake, filing periods, data quality and submission scope must be confirmed before processing.

3. Software licenses and installation

Software is licensed, not sold or transferred as intellectual property. Subject to payment, ERICH grants the purchaser a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the purchased product for the period, computer count and record allowance stated in its checkout or license description. Current listings generally use annual software licensing; the exact purchased term and limits control. Do not distribute, resell, share activation credentials, or bypass registration controls. Separate products require separate license activation, even on the same computer.

4. Tax year, compatibility and government filing

Filing formats, government portals, schemas, deadlines and eligibility rules change. Confirm that your downloaded release supports your filing year, Windows environment, selected form and required output before submitting. IRS IRIS, IRS AIR, SSA BSO and state electronic filing systems have different requirements. Producing an output file or using a validation function does not itself file a return, guarantee acceptance, or establish legal compliance. Filing and payment deadlines remain the customer's responsibility unless expressly assumed in a written services agreement.

5. Registration, delivery and support

After successful checkout, use the instructions shown on the order confirmation page and in the software to register your license; certain products require a Machine ID. A license is product-specific. ERICH may request order information to resolve activation or delivery errors. Support is provided using the contact information on this site, subject to reasonable troubleshooting and available release support.

6. Customer data and authorization

You are responsible for ensuring payer, recipient, subscriber, employer and return information is accurate, authorized, complete and timely. You must have legal authority to provide any data submitted for a filing service. Do not send Social Security numbers or complete taxpayer spreadsheets by unencrypted ordinary email. Coordinate an approved secure delivery method with ERICH before sending sensitive files for a paid filing service. Follow your own backup, access-control and data-retention obligations.

7. Prices, payment, refunds and renewals

The amounts shown at checkout control the individual products ordered. Payments are processed through the site's configured payment provider; Software purchases are completed through the site’s WooCommerce checkout. Taxes or additional services, if any, are shown at checkout or agreed before work begins. Software licenses are not automatically renewed unless a recurring charge and its terms are expressly disclosed and authorized at checkout. For cancellation or refund requests, contact ERICH with your order number. Requests are evaluated in light of the product delivered, activation, work performed, order-specific terms and applicable law; nothing here removes rights you may have under applicable law. If a refund is approved, the associated license or service entitlement may be withdrawn.

8. Service submissions and acceptance

For optional electronic filing services, ERICH will perform only the scope agreed for the purchased service once required information, authorizations and secure data have been received. Government rejection, missing payer permissions, invalid TINs, unsupported schemas, portal outages, late source data or other defects may require additional customer action. ERICH does not guarantee a government agency will accept a submission. The customer should retain final acknowledgements and reconcile accepted, rejected and corrected returns.

9. Accuracy, warranties and liability

We strive to provide useful tools and software, but information on this site is general product information, not individualized legal or tax advice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, products and resources are provided without a guarantee of uninterrupted service or a particular filing outcome. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability or rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

10. Changes and contact

We may update these terms as products or requirements change. The terms displayed when an order is placed govern that order unless a different agreement is expressly accepted. For questions about purchases, license activation or filing services, contact info@1099erich.com or call 608-444-6575.
