1. About This Agreement
This End User License Agreement (“Agreement”) governs the use of the “Benalika QBO Connector” (the “Software”), a software application that connects to QuickBooks® Online through APIs provided by Intuit Inc. The Software is owned and operated by Benalika Consult Inc., a corporation registered in British Columbia, Canada (“the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).
The Software is an internal business tool. It is used by the Company and its authorized personnel to access the Company’s own accounting data for bookkeeping, financial reporting, and tax-compliance purposes. It is not offered for sale, distribution, or use by the general public. By installing, connecting, or using the Software, you agree to be bound by this Agreement.
2. License Grant
The Company grants its authorized personnel a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Software solely for the Company’s internal business operations. No other rights are granted. You may not sublicense, sell, rent, lease, distribute, or otherwise make the Software available to any third party.
3. Relationship to Intuit and QuickBooks
The Software connects to QuickBooks Online using Intuit’s published APIs and OAuth 2.0 authorization. QuickBooks and Intuit are registered trademarks of Intuit Inc. The Software is an independent tool developed by Benalika Consult Inc. and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by Intuit Inc.
- Use of QuickBooks Online remains subject to Intuit’s own terms of service and policies.
- The Software accesses QuickBooks data only after explicit authorization through Intuit’s consent flow, and only within the scope granted (accounting data).

The Software accesses the Company’s own QuickBooks Online company data, including:
- Financial reports (profit & loss, balance sheet, general ledger, and similar)

- Company information required to identify the connected QuickBooks company
Data retrieved by the Software is used solely for the Company’s bookkeeping, financial reporting, and tax-compliance work (including preparation of GST/HST and corporate tax filings by the Company’s professional advisors). Data is stored on Company-controlled, access-protected systems, is not sold, and is not shared with third parties other than the Company’s professional service providers (such as its accountant) as necessary for those purposes. The Company handles personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial law, as described in our Privacy Policy.
