Acceptance of terms
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the J.H. Randolph & Co. website, public resources, templates, articles, tools, inquiry materials, and related online content. By accessing or using the website, you accept and agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, you should not use the website.
J.H. Randolph & Co. may update these terms at any time by posting a revised version on this page. Continued use of the website after updated terms are posted means you accept the updated terms to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Contract precedence
These terms apply only to website access and public materials unless a separate written agreement says otherwise. If you enter into a signed consulting agreement, statement of work, nondisclosure agreement, master services agreement, engagement letter, or other written contract with J.H. Randolph & Co., that written agreement will control the covered engagement if there is a conflict with these website terms.
Website information only
The content on this website is provided for general business, technical, operational, marketing, and informational purposes. It may discuss PeopleSoft, payroll operations, Payroll for North America, compliance concepts, interface design, regression testing, tax publications, regulatory frameworks, AI governance, and related topics.
J.H. Randolph & Co. makes no representation that website content is complete, current, accurate for your jurisdiction, suitable for your organization, or appropriate for your specific PeopleSoft configuration, payroll population, business rules, legal obligations, or risk profile.
No relationship from website use
Use of this website, review of public resources, submission of an inquiry, exchange of preliminary communications, or discussion of possible project scope does not create a client relationship, consulting engagement, fiduciary relationship, partnership, joint venture, agency relationship, employment relationship, or duty of confidentiality beyond what applicable law may require.
A consulting relationship exists only when J.H. Randolph & Co. and the client have entered into a written agreement defining the scope, responsibilities, fees, deliverables, limitations, confidentiality obligations, and other engagement terms.
Confidentiality and submissions
Do not submit confidential, proprietary, regulated, sensitive, or production payroll information through the website or ordinary email unless an appropriate confidentiality agreement and secure transmission method are in place. Preliminary inquiries should be limited to general business context unless otherwise agreed in writing.
If you submit information without a written confidentiality agreement, you grant J.H. Randolph & Co. permission to review and use that information to evaluate, respond to, and discuss the inquiry, subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy.
Public resources and templates
Resources, templates, checklists, examples, diagnostic tools, and reference materials are provided as general starting points. They may not fit every organization, jurisdiction, bargaining environment, payroll configuration, tax setup, policy framework, audit standard, system version, or factual scenario.
You are solely responsible for reviewing, validating, adapting, testing, approving, and maintaining any resource before relying on it in production, compliance, payroll, audit, governance, security, legal, tax, accounting, or employment contexts. Public resources should not be used as a substitute for professional advice or organization-specific review.
Case studies and representative work
Case studies, examples, scenarios, outcomes, and representative work descriptions are generalized for confidentiality and marketing purposes. They may combine, simplify, anonymize, or omit facts to protect client identities and sensitive business information.
Past work, representative examples, testimonials, informal client comments, or described outcomes do not guarantee future results, project acceptance, system performance, regulatory outcomes, payroll results, or any particular business result.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the website design, text, structure, code, resources, templates, checklists, graphics, branding, page layouts, and other materials are owned by or licensed to J.H. Randolph & Co. and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade dress, and other intellectual property laws.
Subject to these terms, you may view publicly available website materials and use them internally for evaluation and business reference. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, republish, resell, license, scrape, train models on, package, post, distribute, mirror, frame, create derivative commercial products from, or commercially exploit website content without prior written permission.
No rights are granted except as expressly stated in these terms. J.H. Randolph & Co. reserves all rights not expressly granted.
Third-party names and trademarks
Oracle, PeopleSoft, PeopleTools, PeopleSoft HCM, and other third-party names, logos, product names, service names, or marks referenced on this website are the property of their respective owners. References are for identification, compatibility, commentary, or informational purposes only and do not imply endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, certification, or affiliation unless expressly stated.

Third-party services and links
This website may reference or link to third-party websites, laws, regulations, publications, government resources, standards, platforms, tools, software, or services. Links are provided for convenience and context only. J.H. Randolph & Co. does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, accuracy, availability, updates, security, privacy practices, policies, or services.
Your use of third-party websites or services is governed by their own terms and policies.
Disclaimer of warranties
The website, public resources, templates, examples, tools, and all content are provided on an "as is," "as available," and "with all faults" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, J.H. Randolph & Co. disclaims all warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, security, error-free operation, and uninterrupted access.
J.H. Randolph & Co. does not warrant that the website will be available at all times, free from errors, secure, free from harmful components, or that defects will be corrected.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, J.H. Randolph & Co. and its owner, contractors, service providers, and representatives will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, enhanced, or lost-profit damages; loss of data; loss of goodwill; business interruption; payroll error; compliance issue; tax consequence; employment claim; security incident; or other damages arising from or related to use of, or inability to use, the website or public content.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total cumulative liability of J.H. Randolph & Co. arising from or related to website use or public content will not exceed one hundred dollars ($100). This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory, including contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statutory claim, or otherwise.
Nothing in these terms limits liability where limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless J.H. Randolph & Co. and its owner, contractors, service providers, and representatives from and against claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to your misuse of the website, violation of these terms, violation of law, infringement of rights, or use of public resources in your organization or environment.
Governing law and venue
Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, these Terms of Use and any dispute arising from or related to the website or public content are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, any legal action or proceeding arising from or related to these terms, the website, or public content must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.
Severability and waiver
If any provision of these terms is held invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Failure by J.H. Randolph & Co. to enforce any provision of these terms does not waive the right to enforce that provision later.
