Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

Last updated: August 2026

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") establishes the permitted technical, operational, and behavioral uses of the FunPayroll.com platform, including the web application, mobile applications, APIs, and underlying infrastructure (collectively, the "Service"). This AUP supplements the FunPayroll.com Terms of Service. By accessing or using the Service, all users—including employers, administrators, and individual employees—agree to strict compliance with this policy.

1. Prohibited Technical and Network Behaviors

Users must not use the Service to engage in, foster, or promote any of the following technical abuses:

• Automated Extraction: Using bots, crawlers, scrapers, or other automated means to access, extract, or index data from the platform without express prior written consent from FunPayroll.
• API Abuse and Rate Evasion: Sending excessive, malformed, or abnormally frequent requests to the platform's APIs that degrade service availability for other tenants, or attempting to circumvent implemented rate-limiting controls.
• Unauthorized Security Testing: Conducting security tests, vulnerability scans, network discoveries, or penetration tests against FunPayroll.com systems without explicit, prior written authorization. To request a bug bounty or security testing authorization, contact payroll@funpayroll.com.
• Authentication Bypass & Credential Harvesting: Sharing login credentials with unauthorized individuals, bypassing multi-factor authentication (MFA), or attempting to collect, phish, or harvest credentials belonging to other users.
• Reverse Engineering: Attempting to decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any compiled code, proprietary algorithm, or component of the FunPayroll platform.
• Malicious Code & Injection: Uploading viruses, trojans, worms, or attempting to execute malicious code, SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), or command injection against any platform endpoint.
• Denial of Service (DoS): Engaging in any activity intended to overload, disrupt, or otherwise impair the availability, reliability, or performance of the Service.

2. Prohibited Data and Operational Behaviors

The integrity of payroll and workforce data is paramount. Users must not engage in:

• Fraudulent Records: Submitting falsified clock-in/out records, fabricated reimbursements, manipulated geolocation data, or any other fraudulent information.
• Unauthorized Data Subjects: Uploading personally identifiable information (PII) of individuals who have not been informed of, or consented to, its submission where required by applicable local, state, or federal law.
• Wage Theft Facilitation: Utilizing the platform's scheduling, time-tracking, or rounding features to intentionally deprive employees of lawfully earned wages or violate Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requirements.
• Privacy Violations: Accessing employee records beyond the legitimate scope of your authorized role, or disclosing sensitive employee data (e.g., compensation, disciplinary records) to unauthorized third parties.
• Unlawful Content: Storing or transmitting data that is defamatory, obscene, harassing, or infringes on the intellectual property rights of others.

3. Employer and Administrator Responsibilities

Employer accounts designate specific individuals as administrators. Administrators act as fiduciaries of their organization's data and are strictly responsible for:

• Ensuring that all authorized users within their tenant comply with this AUP.
• Promptly revoking access for any employee or contractor who is terminated, resigns, or otherwise no longer requires access to the platform.
• Configuring platform permissions accurately to enforce the principle of least privilege.

Failure by an administrator to maintain appropriate access controls constitutes a material breach of this AUP.

4. Export Control and Compliance

The Service is subject to United States export controls and economic sanctions laws. Users agree not to access or use the Service from within any country or territory subject to a comprehensive U.S. embargo, or by any individual or entity listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

5. Enforcement and Suspension

FunPayroll reserves the right, but assumes no obligation, to investigate any suspected violations of this AUP. Upon determining that a violation has occurred, FunPayroll may, at its sole discretion:

• Issue warnings or require the employer to take immediate corrective action.
• Temporarily suspend a specific user account or an entire employer tenant.
• Permanently terminate access to the Service without prior notice.
• Report severe violations (such as data theft, financial fraud, or network attacks) to the appropriate law enforcement agencies.

6. Indemnification

The employer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless FunPayroll.com, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) the employer's or its users' violation of this AUP; (b) any wage, labor, or employment claim brought by an employee arising from the employer's misuse of the platform; or (c) the employer's submission of data to the platform in violation of applicable law.

7. Reporting Violations

If you become aware of a violation of this AUP, please report it immediately to payroll@funpayroll.com.
