Terms of Service

Last updated: February 28, 2026

These terms of service are subject to change at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of LaborAudit after any modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the LaborAudit platform at laboraudit.com ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and LaborAudit ("we," "us," or "our").

2. Description of Service

LaborAudit is a labor enforcement analytics platform that aggregates, analyzes, and presents publicly available labor enforcement records from U.S. federal agencies including the Department of Labor (WHD, OSHA), the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC EDGAR). The Service provides data analytics, risk scoring, benchmarking, trend analysis, and related intelligence features for employment lawyers, ESG consultants, and compliance professionals.

3. Account Registration

To access certain features of the Service, you must register for an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete registration information
  • Maintain the security of your password and account credentials
  • Promptly update your account information if it changes
  • Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
  • Not share your account credentials with third parties

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are used for unauthorized purposes.

4. Subscription Plans and Pricing

The Service is offered under tiered subscription plans (Free, Starter, Professional, and Enterprise) with varying levels of access, features, and usage limits as described on our Pricing page.

Pricing Changes: We reserve the right to modify subscription pricing, plan features, usage limits, and tier structures at any time, at our sole discretion, without prior notice or intimation. Any pricing changes will take effect at the beginning of the next billing cycle (monthly or annual) following the change. Your continued use of the Service after a pricing change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing. If you do not agree to the updated pricing, you may cancel your subscription before the start of the next billing cycle.
  • Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on your selected plan)
  • All fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in our Refund Policy or as required by applicable law
  • Failure to pay applicable fees may result in suspension or downgrade of your account
  • Free tier access may be modified, limited, or discontinued at any time without notice
  • Enterprise pricing is determined on a per-customer basis and governed by a separate agreement where applicable

5. Refund Policy

14-Day Refund Window — Subject to Usage-Based Eligibility: Subscribers may submit a refund request within 14 calendar days of initial purchase or renewal. Refund eligibility is subject to strict usage-based disqualification — any Material Use of the Service (including a single employer search, data export, risk score access, or AI query) within the billing cycle automatically and irrevocably waives refund eligibility. Refunds are granted only for billing errors, extended platform outages (72+ hours), or unauthorized purchases. Full terms are set forth in our Refund Policy.

a. Subscription Acknowledgment

By completing a subscription purchase, you expressly acknowledge and agree that: (i) LaborAudit provides immediate access to proprietary enforcement intelligence upon subscription activation; (ii) accessing any employer enforcement data, risk scores, analytics, reports, exports, AI-generated content, or any other paid feature constitutes Material Use of the Service; (iii) Material Use within the Refund Window constitutes waiver of refund eligibility except for billing errors or unauthorized purchases; and (iv) this acknowledgment satisfies the requirement of prior express consent under applicable consumer protection law, including Article 16(m) of the EU Digital Content Directive (2019/770), for the commencement of digital service performance within the withdrawal period.

b. Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or the billing portal. Upon cancellation:

  • Your access to paid features will continue until the end of the current billing period
  • No prorated refunds shall be issued for the remaining days in the billing cycle
  • Upon expiration of the current billing period, your account will be downgraded to the Free tier

c. Terminated Accounts

If your account is terminated by LaborAudit due to a violation of these Terms, fraud, or abuse, no refund shall be issued regardless of the time remaining in the billing period or whether the Refund Window has expired. Termination for cause results in immediate forfeiture of all prepaid amounts.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

  • Use automated tools, bots, scrapers, or crawlers to access, extract, or download data from the Service beyond your authorized tier limits
  • Attempt to circumvent rate limits, usage caps, tier restrictions, or other access controls
  • Redistribute, resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit data obtained from the Service without a data licensing agreement
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service or its algorithms
  • Use the Service to harass, defame, or harm any individual or organization
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service
  • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
  • Share API keys, access tokens, or login credentials with unauthorized parties

7. Data and Content

a. Public Enforcement Data

The enforcement data presented on LaborAudit is derived from publicly available U.S. federal government databases. We do not claim ownership of the underlying government data. Our value-add consists of cross-agency entity resolution, analytical computations, risk scoring, and presentation layers.

b. Accuracy and Disclaimers

While we strive for accuracy, enforcement data is sourced from government systems and may contain errors, omissions, or delays. Entity resolution across agencies involves probabilistic matching and may produce false positives or false negatives. Risk scores, predictions, and analytics are generated by machine learning models and statistical algorithms — they are informational tools, not legal advice or definitive assessments.

c. Your Content

Any data, queries, or inputs you submit through the Service remain your property. We may use anonymized and aggregated usage data to improve the Service.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, algorithms, risk scoring methodologies (LERS), entity resolution systems, machine learning models, user interface, and all related intellectual property, is owned by LaborAudit and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Your subscription grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service in accordance with your subscription tier and these Terms.

9. API Access

API access is available to Enterprise tier subscribers or as otherwise authorized. API keys are confidential and must not be shared. We reserve the right to revoke API access for violations of these Terms, excessive usage, or suspected abuse. API rate limits and quotas are enforced and may be adjusted without prior notice.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LABORAUDIT AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount paid by you to LaborAudit in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE. THE DATA, ANALYTICS, AND RISK SCORES PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL, FINANCIAL, OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LaborAudit and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

13. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including breach of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including limitations of liability, indemnification, and intellectual property provisions) will survive.

14. Anti-Scraping and Fair Use

All data access through the Service is metered, logged, and subject to rate limits. Automated scraping, bulk downloading, or systematic extraction of data beyond the scope of your subscription tier is strictly prohibited. Violations may result in immediate account suspension, legal action, and forfeiture of any prepaid subscription fees.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved as follows:

  • Informal resolution: The parties shall first attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation within thirty (30) days of written notice of the dispute
  • Binding arbitration: If informal resolution fails, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with applicable arbitration rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding
  • Injunctive relief: Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights or confidential information

16. Class Action Waiver

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND LABORAUDIT AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AGAINST LABORAUDIT. If any court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is void or unenforceable for any reason, then the dispute shall proceed in court rather than arbitration.

17. Force Majeure

LaborAudit shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics, war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, government actions or regulations, embargoes, sanctions, labor disputes or strikes, power outages, internet or telecommunications failures, cyberattacks, denial-of-service attacks, hardware or software failures of third-party providers, or failures of upstream data sources (including federal agency databases). During any period of force majeure, our obligations under these Terms shall be suspended without liability.

18. Confidentiality

You agree to maintain the confidentiality of any non-public information accessed through the Service, including but not limited to API keys, access tokens, proprietary analytics outputs, risk scoring methodologies, and any information designated as confidential. You shall not disclose such information to any third party without our prior written consent. This obligation of confidentiality shall survive termination of your account and these Terms.

19. Electronic Communications

By creating an account or using the Service, you consent to receive electronic communications from LaborAudit, including transactional emails (account verification, password resets, billing receipts), service notifications (watchlist alerts, system maintenance notices), and product updates. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

20. Third-Party Services

The Service may integrate with or rely on third-party services, including payment processors, email delivery providers, content delivery networks, and cloud infrastructure providers. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or practices of any third-party services. Your use of third-party services is governed by their respective terms and policies. We may change, add, or remove third-party service integrations at any time without prior notice.

21. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of LaborAudit. LaborAudit may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms to any affiliate, successor, or acquirer without your consent or prior notice. Any purported assignment in violation of this section shall be null and void.

22. Waiver

The failure of LaborAudit to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by LaborAudit. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under these Terms shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

23. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, at our sole discretion, without prior notice. Changes become effective immediately upon posting to this page. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. We recommend reviewing these Terms periodically.

24. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

25. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and LaborAudit regarding the use of the Service and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, or representations, whether written or oral.
