If at any time during the Term Customer becomes aware of any such prohibited activities in Filing Jurisdiction(s) that may require fiscal or any other form of tax representation, Customer shall immediately notify Avalara in writing. Further, Customer shall ensure that its systems are properly configured to ensure that all IPT Obligations in Filing Jurisdiction(s) are managed correctly through Fiscal Representation, and it is solely Customer’s obligation to do so.

(b) Under these Fiscal Representation for Insurance Terms and as between the Parties, Customer is solely liable and responsible for, and shall timely remit funds for, all of its IPT Obligations in Filing Jurisdiction(s). This includes the timely and correct remittance of any IPT Obligations due to the tax authority(ies) in Filing Jurisdiction(s), including any penalties and interest incurred in relation to any late filing, payment or otherwise.

(c) Promptly upon Avalara’s request, Customer shall provide Avalara with (a) proof of funding for any applicable IPT obligation or other obligation, including for the period after termination of these Fiscal Representation for Insurance Terms during which any tax authorities may impose tax assessments retroactively; or (b) security for Customer’s IPT Obligations, or for any other payment obligations to Avalara, any applicable tax authority, or any third party arising under these Fiscal Representation for Insurance Terms.  Avalara will determine the form and amount of security necessary in its discretion and may require security to be made in the form of one or more payments made to Third-Party PSP or Avalara pursuant to Section 3(d)(i), or a first demand bank guarantee, in form and in amounts Avalara determines to be appropriate in its discretion. If requested by Avalara, Customer shall provide Avalara with such additional security as Avalara deems appropriate in its discretion, taking into account Avalara’s potential liabilities.

(d) During the Term, at Avalara’s request, Customer shall deliver to Avalara any information, in the format and manner specified by Avalara and/or as required under relevant Applicable Laws, and in response to all other requests Avalara determines to be appropriate in connection with Fiscal Representation for Insurance.

Any such activities Avalara undertakes, and any related IPT Obligations that arise will be at Customer’s expense and risk.

(f) Prior to acceptance of these Fiscal Representation Terms and at all times thereafter upon request, Customer shall provide all information requested by Avalara (or, if applicable, a third-party subcontractor engaged by Avalara for this purpose (a “Screener”)) regarding Customer’s legal existence, equity owners and other affiliated persons, and otherwise related to its operations or circumstances, to conduct “know your customer,” anti-money laundering, customer suitability, tax information exchange requirements or related checks or inquiries based on Avalara’s legal and regulatory obligations or commercial considerations (“Background Screen”).  Customer expressly authorizes all such activities and shall provide additional information and otherwise cooperate with Avalara or the Screener in connection with the Background Screen. If Customer provides any information related to its Background Screen directly to the Screener, Customer expressly authorizes Avalara to receive, obtain copies of, transmit to its Affiliates and third parties for processing, and use such information and data from the Screener and any analyses, conclusions or assessments made by the Screener in connection with such Background Screen as Avalara determines to be appropriate.  Avalara may, in its discretion, elect not to provide Customer with, or terminate, Fiscal Representation and related Services due to the results of the Background Screen or Customer’s failure to timely provide the information requested by Avalara or the Screener for the Background Screen; provided that if Avalara elects not to provide or terminates Fiscal Representation under this Section 5 (f) other than for failure to provide documentation required for the Background Screen, Avalara will refund any prepaid unused fees related to Fiscal Representation (excluding any activation or other one-time fees). Avalara may elect to co-ordinate fiscal representation to Customer through one or more third party fiscal representatives under such third party’s terms, and different fees and expenses may apply.

(g) At any time, in Avalara’s discretion and in accordance with Applicable Laws, and without notice to Customer, Avalara may report any information related to Customer’s use of Fiscal Representation or its Background Screen process (including Customer Data and Personal Information) to a regulator, law enforcement agency, or government department or unit in Filing Jurisdiction(s), in each case as Avalara determines to be appropriate and in accordance with Applicable Laws.
