4. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
4.1 Employer of Record Services. Shor provides EOR services enabling Employers to compliantly engage workers in jurisdictions where the Employer does not have a legal entity. When acting as EOR, Shor (or its local partner entities) serves as the legal employer of record for applicable workers while the Employer retains day-to-day management.
4.2 Contractor Management. Shor provides tools for Employers to onboard, manage, and pay independent contractors across multiple jurisdictions, including contract generation, compliance checks, and payment processing.
4.3 Payroll and Payments. Shor facilitates payroll processing and contractor payments through the Platform. Shor utilizes third-party payment processors and banking partners to execute transfers. Payment timelines are subject to the processing times of these partners and the applicable banking infrastructure.
4.4 Compliance Data. Shor provides structured employment law and compliance data for various jurisdictions. While Shor endeavors to maintain accurate and current data, this information is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice.
4.5 No Employment Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement creates an employment relationship between Shor and any Contractor, or between Shor and any Employer's internal personnel. In EOR arrangements, the employment relationship exists between the worker and Shor (or its local entity) solely for legal compliance purposes.
4.6 Payment Service Disclaimer. SHOR IS NOT A BANK, FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, MONEY SERVICES BUSINESS, OR LICENSED PAYMENT SERVICE PROVIDER. Shor facilitates payments through third-party payment processors and banking partners (including Stripe and Plaid). All fund transfers are executed by regulated third-party providers. Shor does not hold, pool, or commingle user funds except transiently as necessary for payroll processing. Shor is not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party payment processors.
4.7 Currency and Exchange Rates. Payments to workers in foreign jurisdictions may involve currency conversion. Exchange rates are determined at the time of processing by Shor's payment partners and may include a markup. Shor does not guarantee exchange rates and is not liable for losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations between the time of payroll funding and payment disbursement. Where applicable, Shor will display the estimated exchange rate prior to payroll submission, but final rates may differ.
4.8 Local Partner Entities. In certain jurisdictions, Shor provides EOR services through Local Partner Entities. Shor remains responsible for the performance of the Services regardless of whether they are delivered through a Local Partner Entity. The Employer's contractual relationship remains with Shor.
4.9 Platform Availability. Shor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Platform available at least 99.5% of the time, measured monthly, excluding scheduled maintenance and force majeure events. Scheduled maintenance will be announced at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance where practicable. Shor does not guarantee uninterrupted access and shall not be liable for downtime that does not materially impact payroll processing deadlines.
4.10 No Legal, Tax, or Accounting Advice. The information provided through the Platform, including compliance data, jurisdiction guides, and tax estimates, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, or accounting advice. Users should consult qualified professionals for advice specific to their circumstances.
5. EOR-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS
5.1 Scope of EOR Services. When Employer engages Shor for EOR services, Shor (or its Local Partner Entity) becomes the legal employer of record for the designated workers in the applicable jurisdiction. Shor assumes responsibility for local labor law compliance, statutory benefits administration, payroll tax withholding, and regulatory filings in that jurisdiction. The Employer retains day-to-day management, direction, and control of the worker's activities and deliverables.
5.2 Employment Agreements. Shor will establish employment agreements with EOR Employees in accordance with the requirements of local law and the terms agreed upon in the applicable Work Order. The Employer must review and approve employment terms before Shor finalizes the arrangement. Shor will ensure that employment agreements comply with mandatory local labor law provisions, which may override terms proposed by the Employer where required by law.
5.3 Benefits and Statutory Entitlements. Shor will administer mandatory statutory benefits required in each EOR jurisdiction (including but not limited to social security contributions, health insurance, pension, and other mandatory employer contributions). Supplemental or non-statutory benefits (e.g., private health insurance, equity compensation, stipends) may be offered where supported and will be specified in the applicable Work Order. Costs of all benefits are borne by the Employer in addition to base compensation and Shor's service fees.
5.4 EOR Employment Termination. Termination of an EOR Employee's employment must comply with local labor laws in the applicable jurisdiction. Employer must not unilaterally terminate an EOR Employee's employment - all terminations must be coordinated through Shor to ensure legal compliance. Shor will advise on required notice periods, severance obligations, and procedural requirements. The Employer is responsible for all severance payments, accrued entitlements (unused leave, pro-rated bonuses), and termination costs required by local law, unless Shor's negligence or breach caused the termination liability.
5.5 EOR Exclusivity. During the term of an EOR engagement, the applicable EOR Employee shall be employed exclusively through Shor (or its Local Partner Entity) in the relevant jurisdiction. Employer shall not engage the same individual through a competing EOR provider in the same jurisdiction for the same role without first terminating the EOR arrangement with Shor.
5.6 Employer Cooperation for EOR. Employer acknowledges that EOR services require active cooperation, including: (a) timely provision of worker details and compensation terms; (b) prompt funding of payroll and statutory contributions; (c) cooperation with onboarding requirements (e.g., work permit applications, local registration); (d) compliance with Shor's reasonable deadlines for payroll submissions; and (e) prompt notification of any changes to a worker's role, compensation, or status.
5.7 Transition Assistance. Upon termination of an EOR engagement, Shor will provide reasonable transition assistance for a period of up to ninety (90) days, including: (a) facilitating the lawful transfer of employment to the Employer or its designated entity; (b) providing employment records and documentation; and (c) cooperating with any required regulatory filings. Transition assistance fees, if any, will be specified in the applicable Order Form.
6. FEES AND PAYMENT
6.1 Pricing. Fees for the Services are as set forth on the Platform's pricing page or in an applicable Order Form. Shor may update pricing with at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice; updated pricing takes effect at the start of the next billing cycle following the notice period.
6.2 Billing. Employer will be billed on a per-contractor or per-employee basis as applicable. Billing occurs monthly in arrears unless otherwise specified in an Order Form.
6.3 Payment Method. Employer must maintain a valid payment method on file. Payments are processed via our third-party payment processor (currently Stripe). Employer authorizes Shor to charge the payment method on file for all Fees due.
6.4 Payroll Funding. For EOR and payroll services, Employer must fund payroll in accordance with the funding schedule communicated through the Platform. Failure to fund payroll on time may result in delayed payments to workers and potential compliance penalties, for which Employer shall be solely responsible.
6.5 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. Employer is responsible for all taxes, levies, and duties imposed by taxing authorities on the Fees (excluding taxes on Shor's net income).
6.6 Late Payments. For accounts more than fifteen (15) days overdue after written notice, Shor may (a) suspend Services until the account is brought current and (b) charge interest on overdue amounts at a rate up to the maximum permitted by applicable law.
6.7 No Deposits Required. Unless otherwise specified in an Order Form for specific risk-tiered scenarios, Shor does not require upfront deposits or pre-funding of payroll balances.
