PaycheckCity Payroll Additional Terms

Updated August 6, 2025

  1. You are entering into a binding agreement

    By clicking “I accept,” you are entering into a binding agreement (“Agreement”) with Symmetry Software, LLC, which governs your use of the tools, information, materials and services that we make available to you as a paid subscriber (“Services”). These terms are in addition to any other terms of use that we may publish on the PaycheckCity web site (the “Site”) from time to time, including the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. If any other terms are different from the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement controls. If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, you do not have our permission to use the Services.

  2. The Services will automatically renew

    The Services will automatically renew each year, and your credit card will be charged for the renewal, unless you take action to cancel prior to the anniversary date. You can cancel the Services at any time by logging in to the Services and clicking “cancel subscription” on the Account Settings screen. You will no longer be able to use the paid version of the Services after you cancel.

  3. We may change this Agreement

    We may change this Agreement at any time. You will be prompted to accept any updated terms before you will be able to access the Services. Your use of the Services after this Agreement is changed will be controlled by the revised Agreement. You are not authorized to use the Services in any jurisdiction where this Agreement is not enforceable.

  4. You must be old enough to use the Services

    You must be 13 or older to use the Services, and, if you are under 18 or the age of majority as that is defined in the place where you live, a parent or guardian must supervise your use of the Services. By accepting this Agreement, you represent and warrant to us that you have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction or that you are supervised by a parent or guardian, and that you have the right, authority, and capacity to agree to and abide by this Agreement.

  5. About the Services

    The Services are a self-service payroll tax tool designed for micro-businesses with 10 or fewer employees. Larger enterprises are allowed to use the Services, but the Services may not work well. Although we may respond to your queries via the chat feature on the Site, we do not offer customer support or user assistance, and we are not obligated to respond to your messages or to remedy any errors in the Services.

  6. We do not provide tax, financial, or legal advice or opinions

    We try to keep the Services current, but financial and tax information changes rapidly. The Services are provided "as is" for general payroll tax information only. The Services are not meant to be used as tax, financial or legal advice or recommendations, or to replace the services of a professional advisor or accountant. Therefore, you should not rely on the Services to be complete, current, or error free. We do not recommend, endorse, or make any warranties or representations of any kind with regard to whether the Services are accurate, timely, high quality, effective. We do not warrant that the Services, Content (as defined in Section 12), External Site Content (as defined in Section 13), programs, materials, products or other information provided on the Site or by the companies or organizations linked or referred to in the Services do not infringe intellectual property rights. Nothing in our communications with you (including, but not limited to, any emails, web site content, attachments, enclosures or other accompanying materials) relating to any federal tax transaction or matter are considered to be "covered opinions" as described in Circular 230.

  7. Accessing the Services

    To access the Services, you must register and use your username and password. You agree to provide accurate information in connection with your registration and to promptly notify us of any changes. You must keep your username and password confidential. You are responsible for all use of the Site and the Services under your username and password, including any use by a user who accesses the Site using your username and password without your permission.
