Terms of Service

By accessing or using WageDefender (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.

WageDefender is a software tool that generates reasonable compensation reports for S-corporation officers. Reports are produced by applying a deterministic methodology — drawing on BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics data, Employment Cost Index aging, and four court-referenced factor frameworks — to the financial inputs you provide.

The Service produces documentation that can support an officer's compensation position in an IRS examination. It does not constitute tax, legal, or financial advice. WageDefender provides the tooling, matching, and audit-chain finalization; where Pro-Reviewed is selected, a credentialed CPA or attorney from the Pro-Reviewed Network signs the report under their own license and E&O coverage.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at hello@wagedefend.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during intake. Inaccurate inputs will produce inaccurate reports. WageDefender bears no liability for report conclusions derived from incorrect or incomplete data you supply.

Payment is required before a report is generated and delivered. All prices are displayed in US dollars and are inclusive of the applicable tier. Prices may change at any time; changes do not affect already-completed purchases. Payment processing is handled by Stripe.

For Pro-Reviewed reports, delivery includes a sign-off page from a credentialed CPA or attorney in the Pro-Reviewed Network, affixed to the standard report. Delivery timelines for the reviewed tier may extend up to two (2) business days depending on reviewer-firm volume.

You may request a full refund within twenty-four (24) hours of report delivery provided you have not yet downloaded the report PDF. Once the PDF has been downloaded, no refund is available. To request a refund, email hello@wagedefend.com with your order reference.

Refreshes of an existing report (when BLS data updates) are not refundable once the refreshed report has been delivered.

The WageDefender platform, its methodology documentation, scoring engine, and all associated software are the intellectual property of TimTax CPA and its licensors. Your generated report is your property for your personal and business use, including use in an IRS examination.

You may not resell, license, or redistribute reports generated by the Service without prior written consent. You may not reverse-engineer, scrape, or otherwise attempt to extract the underlying methodology or data models.

Use of WageDefender does not create an attorney-client, CPA-client, or any other professional advisory relationship between you and WageDefender or any Pro-Reviewed Network reviewer firm, except where you have separately engaged a reviewer firm under a written engagement letter for Pro-Reviewed report sign-off or audit-defense representation.

The Service is a software tool. Outputs are not tax advice, legal advice, or financial advice. Consult your own licensed CPA or tax attorney for guidance specific to your engagement.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, WageDefender, TimTax CPA, and their officers, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption — arising from your use of or inability to use the Service.

In no event shall our total liability to you exceed the amount you paid for the specific report that gave rise to the claim.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms, fraudulent activity, or abuse of the Service. You may cancel your account at any time by emailing hello@wagedefend.com. Previously delivered reports remain accessible for thirty (30) days following account cancellation.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

We may revise these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email to registered account holders at least fourteen (14) days before taking effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
