Terms

​Last updated: 2/19/2026

 

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of HRDecisionGuide (the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

 

 

1) Educational purpose only (no legal, tax, or accounting advice)

 

The Site provides general educational information about payroll and HR decision-making. Content is for informational purposes only and is not legal, tax, accounting, or other professional advice. You should consult qualified professionals for advice specific to your situation.

 

Using the Site does not create a professional-client relationship with HRDecisionGuide or its author(s).

 

 

2) Who we are

 

HRDecisionGuide is owned and maintained by Ben Scott

3) Use of templates, checklists, and tools

 

The Site may include templates, checklists, playbooks, spreadsheets, or other resources (“Resources”). Resources are provided “as is” and may require customization. You are responsible for verifying accuracy, suitability, and compliance for your organization before using anything from the Site.

 

 

4) Affiliate disclosure and external links

 

Some pages may include affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click and take an action (such as signing up). This does not change your price. We aim to keep content vendor-neutral and focused on decision clarity.

 

The Site may link to third-party websites. We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, policies, availability, or practices. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

 

 

5) Intellectual property

 

Unless otherwise stated, the Site’s content (including text, layout, and original Resources) is owned by HRDecisionGuide and protected by intellectual property laws.

 

You may:

 

  • Read, download, and print content for personal or internal business use.

 

You may not (without prior written permission):

 

  • Reproduce, republish, sell, license, or distribute Site content or Resources;

  • Modify and redistribute Resources as your own product;

  • Use the Site’s branding or content in a way that suggests endorsement.

 

If you want to reference the Site, link to the original page rather than copying the content.

 

 

6) Acceptable use

 

You agree not to:

 

  • Use the Site unlawfully or in a way that harms others;

  • Attempt to disrupt the Site (e.g., hacking, scraping at scale, introducing malware);

  • Misrepresent your affiliation with HRDecisionGuide;

  • Use the Site to violate privacy or intellectual property rights.

 

 

7) Disclaimers

 

We work to keep information accurate and useful, but we do not guarantee the Site will be complete, error-free, or up to date. Payroll and HR rules and practices can vary by location, industry, company size, and vendor processes.

 

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT/RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

 

 

8) Limitation of liability

 

To the maximum extent permitted by law, HRDecisionGuide and its author(s) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Site or Resources.

 

If liability is found, our total liability for any claim will not exceed $100 USD.

 

 

9) Indemnification

 

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HRDecisionGuide and its author(s) from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another.

 

 

10) Changes to these Terms

 

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent version. Your continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

 

 

11) Governing law

 

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state/jurisdiction where we are based, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
