1. Acceptance of terms

By creating an account, funding a wallet, or otherwise using WorldStaffingpro Hire, onboard, and pay full-time employees and contractors in 180+ countries without setting up a local entity. Employer of Record, global payroll, benefits, and compliance in one platform. (the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you're using the Platform on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company.

2. Our services

We provide a technology platform that helps companies employ or engage workers globally through: (a) Employer-of-Record ("EOR") services via local entities in each supported country; (b) contractor management and invoicing; (c) global payroll processing and payouts; (d) HR administration tools (onboarding, documents, benefits, performance reviews); and (e) related integrations.

Where we act as EOR, we (or a local partner entity) become the legal employer of a worker on your behalf and take on the associated employment obligations.

3. Account eligibility

You must be at least 18, provide accurate registration information, and complete our KYC checks before you can hire workers or move money through the Platform. We may suspend or close accounts that fail verification, breach these Terms, or engage in fraudulent activity.

4. Fees and billing

• EOR fee — a monthly per-worker fee, quoted in your onboarding contract.
• Contractor fee — a per-payout or per-invoice fee.
• Payment gateway fees — passed through at cost when using card top-ups.
• FX margin — a small margin on currency conversion, disclosed at time of payout.

Fees are billed against your wallet balance. If the wallet has insufficient funds, we may pause payroll runs until it is topped up. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law.

5. Payroll wallet and funding

You fund a payroll wallet by card, bank wire, or supported payment gateway. Funds in the wallet are held in a segregated account by us or our licensed payment partner solely for the purpose of paying your workers and our fees. Wallet balances do not earn interest and are not deposits.

6. Your obligations

• Provide accurate information about workers, roles, and compensation.
• Comply with local employment law in the countries you hire in — including working hours, holidays, and non-discrimination rules.
• Not use the Platform to hire in sanctioned jurisdictions or engage in illegal activity.
• Keep your account credentials confidential and enable multi-factor authentication.
• Fund your wallet in time for each payroll run.

7. Workers on the Platform

Workers hired via EOR are legally employed by us or our local partner. You may direct their day-to-day work; we handle payroll, taxes, statutory benefits, and termination formalities per local law. Termination decisions must be reviewed with us to ensure legal compliance.

Both parties agree to protect the other's confidential information and use it only to perform obligations under these Terms.

10. Warranties and disclaimers

We provide the Platform "as is". While we work hard on uptime, security, and compliance, we do not warrant the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free. Regulatory guidance changes; we use commercially reasonable efforts to keep our compliance framework current but you remain responsible for your business decisions.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability under these Terms is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

12. Termination

Either party may terminate on 30 days' written notice, subject to notice requirements under local employment law for workers we've hired on your behalf. On termination, we'll help you offboard workers lawfully and export your data.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction stated in your master service agreement. Disputes are resolved through good-faith negotiation first, and thereafter through binding arbitration or the courts of that jurisdiction.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms occasionally. Material changes will be notified at least 30 days in advance. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
