Terms of Use

Last Updated: January 24, 2019

Welcome to HRdirectApps.com! We are an online service providing our members access to online HR software.

These Terms and Conditions are also a resource for you to get a deeper understanding of how our service works, including the way we bill, how we interact with you, and other useful details about our services.

These Terms and Conditions, which include our Privacy Policy and website Terms of Use govern your use of the HRdirect Smart Apps service, including all features and functionalities (the "HRdirect Smart Apps Services"). These Terms and Conditions, our Privacy Policy, and website Terms of Use are intended to complement each other, and to the extent that they conflict these Terms and Conditions shall prevail. By visiting and/or using the HRdirect Smart Apps Services, you fully and unconditionally agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, please do not visit or use the HRdirect Smart Apps Services.

1. SERVICE PLANS

HRdirect Smart Apps offers several apps for you to choose from. Details of each of the plans offered can be found on our "Pricing" section of the website. We reserve the right to modify, terminate, or otherwise amend our offered membership plans at any time.

The HRdirect Smart Apps Services are normally available 24 hours a day. We reserve the right to take measures that affect the aforementioned accessibility when deemed necessary for technical, maintenance, operational, or security reasons.

2. PAYMENT TERMS

By starting your paid membership, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge you a monthly or annual membership fee, as selected by you during the registration process, at the then current rate, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the HRdirect Smart Apps Services, for the billing term you selected, to the valid accepted payment method ("Payment Method") you provided during the registration process (or different Payment Method if you change your account information). Please note that prices and charges are subject to change upon our notice to you. Prices shown on the website for first time purchases may be promotional prices and may not be the same prices for renewal orders. As used in these Terms and Conditions, "billing" shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method. The membership fee will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your membership and each renewal date thereafter unless and until you cancel your paid membership. Visit our website and go to the Subscriptions and Billing pages to see your account information, including the commencement date for your next renewal period, or make any changes. We automatically bill your Payment Method each month or year on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership, as selected during the upgrade process. In the event your paying membership began on a date not contained in a given month, we will bill your Payment Method on the last day of such month. For example, if you started your HRdirect Smart Apps membership or became a paying member on January 31st, your next payment date is February 28th and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional offers, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts.

We may change the fees and charges in effect, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will give you advance notice of these changes by email or by posting them on the website. If you want to use a different Payment Method or if there is a change in Payment Method, such as your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method information in your Billing page online or by calling us at 800-350-7259. If your Payment Method reaches its expiration date and you do not edit your Payment Method information or terminate your account (see, "Termination" below), you authorize us to continue billing that Payment Method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts or to terminate your account, as determined by us in our sole discretion.

Your membership will continue month to month or year to year unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it, as described in the termination section. Cancellation or termination will be effective the first day of the next billing cycle following the date we receive your cancellation notice or we provide notice to you. You must cancel your membership before it renews each month to avoid billing of the next billing term membership fees to your Payment Method.

You will be responsible for paying all sales, use, transfer, privilege, excise and all other taxes or duties levied or imposed by reason of the performance by HRdirect under this agreement, excluding income taxes on profits, which may be levied against HRdirect.

The Account Owner represents that all information he/she provides in connection with his/her registration is correct and legitimate.

9. ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR POSTER GUARD 1 SMART APP USERS. Your purchase and use of the Poster Guard 1 Smart App ("Poster Guard" or "the Product") are subject to these additional terms and conditions.

Your Poster Guard 1 Smart App Service includes delivery of a "Posting Kit" comprised of mandatory labor law postings, including: a federal poster set (containing mandatory, employee-facing federal postings on one sheet), a state poster set (containing mandatory labor and employment law postings for the state for your Location), and (where applicable) a local poster set (containing local postings that correspond with your Location’s zip code). The Posting Kits include all federal, state and local mandatory, employee-facing labor and employment postings for general industry, except those that employers are required to obtain on their own directly from the issuing agency and those that employers must develop on their own reflecting their specific policies and practices.

If any part of a Posting Kit must be revised to ensure compliance with mandatory changes in federal or applicable state/local legal posting requirements during your paid, active service period, we will send you revised poster(s) ("Replacement Posters"). There is no charge for Replacement Posters prompted by mandatory changes in federal or applicable state/local legal posting requirements during your paid, active service period; however, there may be a cost associated with replacing lost or damaged posters or reshipping posters that have been returned to Seller due to an incorrect address or refused delivery.

HRdirect agrees to reimburse you for fines imposed by any federal, state or local government authority arising out of the failure of the Posting Kits to conform to any applicable federal, state or local law, rule or regulation ("Reimbursement"), subject to the terms herein. In order to receive Reimbursement, you must (a) demonstrate that your business properly displayed the most recent materials provided by HRdirect as part of the Poster Guard 1 Smart App Service prior to the fine (to qualify, posters must be displayed as of the date of delivery to the shipping address you have provided); and (b) provide us with a copy of the claim and/or agency citation and penalty assessments within ten (10) business days of its issuance. This limited indemnity for Reimbursements applies to the specific Posting Kits you have purchased, and does not cover posting requirements that may be mandated for your company’s specific business or industry, specific government contractor or funding terms, government contractor compliance, union agreements or other contracts, or other mandates unique to your company’s business practices, and does not cover any damages relating to employment litigation or federal contract suspension or loss.

10. FORCE MAJEURE

This agreement shall not terminate and HRdirect shall not be liable for any disruption or failure to provide the services, software, or other items herein contemplated if caused by a force majeure event, act of God, war, declaration of government, cyber and/or hostile network attacks, or other natural event beyond the control of HRdirect.
