II. IDENTITY OF THE PORTAL AND ITS OWNERS/ADMINISTRATORS

The LaborCompliance.com website is hosted on servers owned (or used) by a hosting provider in the United States of America and/or any of its related or associated companies, services, or brands.

Likewise, Users and Visitors acknowledge and accept that LaborCompliance has no corporate connection to that hosting platform, nor any involvement in its policies or conditions of use, beyond the web‑hosting service agreement.

The portal’s programming has been developed using a content‑management platform. As such, LaborCompliance complies with that platform’s policies and terms of use and requires Users and Visitors to accept this situation as a condition for using or browsing the portal. Users and Visitors also acknowledge that LaborCompliance has no influence over that platform’s policies or conditions, beyond its use for developing this website.

III. PURPOSE AND CONTENT OF THE PORTAL

IV. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION

These terms and conditions, the entire LaborCompliance.com portal, and the relationships between the portal, its administrators and/or owners, and the Users and Visitors are governed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the United States of America. Any disputes shall be subject to the jurisdiction of U.S. courts competent by subject matter, amount, or territory.

This does not preclude the possibility of establishing, through specific agreements, special domiciles, particular jurisdictions (including alternative dispute‑resolution mechanisms), or the application of other laws within the framework permitted by private international law.

All usage and exploitation rights (whether for commercial or non‑commercial purposes) are the exclusive property of LaborCompliance. Therefore, Users and Visitors may not use, download, copy, reproduce, or reference any portion of the portal without prior written authorization from LaborCompliance, subject to the following conditions:

5. Visitors and Users expressly acknowledge and accept that LaborCompliance is not and will not be responsible for any damages, losses, delays, or harm—monetary, material, informational, or otherwise—incurred as a result of using the portal or the information it publishes.

VII. LIMITATION AND/OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY
