7. Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Our collection, use, and protection of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.

In no event shall our total cumulative liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to the Service exceed the total amount of fees paid by you to us during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

You acknowledge that payroll processing involves complex tax regulations that vary by jurisdiction and change over time. While we strive for accuracy, you are ultimately responsible for verifying the correctness of payroll calculations, tax filings, and regulatory compliance for your business.
