Terms of Use — HRCalcs

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing HRCalcs, users declare they have read, understood, and accepted these Terms in their entirety. The agreement binds users to Smarter Business LLC’s conditions. Users acting on behalf of organizations confirm they hold authority to bind that entity.

We reserve the right to update these Terms without advance notice. The latest version is always displayed with its update date. Continued use of the Site after modifications constitutes acceptance.

2. Service Description

HRCalcs provides free HR compliance calculators accessed through web browsers. Each calculator applies rules drawn from official U.S. Department of Labor, Internal Revenue Service, and Code of Federal Regulations sources, cited on the corresponding result page. Calculations are performed entirely in the user’s browser — no inputs are transmitted to our servers.

The Site is for informational use only. Nothing on HRCalcs constitutes legal, tax, payroll, or accounting advice. Users are responsible for verifying applicability to their specific circumstances and should consult qualified counsel before acting on any result.

Services are provided “as is” without availability guarantees. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time without notice.
