Terms of Service

01 Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client," "you," or "your") and PEO Audits ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website at peoaudits.com (the "Site") and any audit or matching services provided by PEO Audits.

By accessing the Site, submitting an audit request, or engaging our services in any way, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Site or engage our services.

02 About PEO Audits

PEO Audits provides independent audit and analysis services for small and mid-size businesses currently using a Professional Employer Organization (PEO). Our services include reviewing billing accuracy, benefits benchmarking, compliance exposure, contract terms, HR service quality, and workers' compensation coverage, and, where appropriate, facilitating introductions to better-fit PEO providers.

PEO Audits is not a law firm, accounting firm, insurance broker, or licensed financial advisor. Our services are advisory and analytical in nature. Nothing in our audit findings constitutes legal, tax, financial, insurance, or regulatory advice.

03 Use of the Website

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of others. You may not:

• Use the Site for any fraudulent, misleading, or unlawful purpose
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its related systems
• Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or any other harmful code
• Reproduce, distribute, or republish any Site content without our prior written consent
• Use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or extract data from the Site
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when submitting information to us

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the Site for any user who violates these terms.

04 Audit Services

PEO Audits will use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a thorough and independent review of your PEO arrangement across the six audit areas described on our website. The scope, depth, and specific findings of any audit will depend on the information and documents made available to us by you.

We make no guarantee of specific outcomes, savings, findings, or results from any audit. Audit findings are based on information available at the time of review and represent our independent professional assessment, not a guarantee of accuracy, completeness, or legal sufficiency.

Audit services are provided at no cost to qualifying businesses (10-150 employees currently using a PEO), subject to the business model described in Section 5.

05 Our Business Model & Independence

By engaging our services, you acknowledge and accept this business model. You understand that if a PEO introduction is facilitated as a result of your audit, we may receive compensation from the PEO provider. This compensation does not affect the objectivity of our audit findings, which are completed before any matching discussion begins.

We will not facilitate a PEO introduction without your explicit consent. You are under no obligation to accept any introduction or to take any action as a result of your audit findings.

06 No Professional Advice

The information, analysis, and recommendations provided by PEO Audits are for informational and advisory purposes only. Nothing in our audit reports, communications, or website constitutes:

• Legal advice or an attorney-client relationship
• Tax advice or a client-accountant relationship
• Insurance advice or a broker-client relationship
• Financial or investment advice
• A guarantee of compliance with any applicable law or regulation

We strongly recommend that you consult with qualified legal, tax, insurance, and HR professionals before making any significant decisions based on our audit findings. PEO Audits bears no liability for decisions made in reliance on our analysis without independent professional verification.

07 Confidentiality

All business information, documents, and data you share with us in connection with an audit are treated as confidential. We will not disclose your confidential information to third parties except as described in our Privacy Policy or as required by law.

Specifically, we will not contact your current PEO at any point during or after your audit. We will not share your audit findings or business information with any PEO without your explicit consent as part of a facilitated introduction.

You agree not to disclose our proprietary audit methodologies, scoring frameworks, or internal processes that are shared with you in the course of an engagement.

08 Client Responsibilities

To enable us to conduct an effective audit, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and truthful information about your company and current PEO arrangement
• Provide requested documents in a timely manner to avoid delays in the audit process
• Notify us promptly of any material changes to your situation during the audit
• Ensure that you have the authority to share the documents and information provided to us

We are not responsible for audit errors or omissions resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information provided by you. The quality and completeness of our findings depend directly on the information made available to us.

09 Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, and design — is owned by or licensed to PEO Audits and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any Site content without our prior written consent.

Audit reports and findings delivered to you are prepared for your sole use in connection with your business. You may not share, publish, or distribute our audit reports without our prior written consent, except as necessary to take action on the findings within your own organization.

10 Disclaimers

The Site and our services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. PEO Audits does not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or harmful components.

We do not warrant that our audit findings are complete, accurate, or applicable to your specific legal or regulatory situation. Audit findings reflect our independent assessment based on information available at the time of review and are not a substitute for professional legal, tax, or HR advice.

11 Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, PEO Audits and its principals, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site or our services, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, or business interruption.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to our services shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount actually paid by you to us in connection with the matter giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred dollars ($100.00). Because our services are provided at no cost to most clients, this effectively limits our liability to the minimum permitted by law.

12 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PEO Audits and its principals, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Site or our services in violation of these Terms; (b) your provision of inaccurate or unauthorized information to us; or (c) your violation of any applicable law or third-party right in connection with our engagement.

13 Termination

Either party may terminate an audit engagement at any time by providing written notice to the other party. You may do so by emailing auditme@peoaudits.com. Upon termination, your confidential information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to the Site or our services at any time, without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or engaged in conduct harmful to us or others.

14 Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from or related to these Terms or our services that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, with proceedings conducted in English.

You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against PEO Audits. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.

15 Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, business practices, or applicable law. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated to active clients directly. Continued use of the Site or our services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
