Which responsibilities stay with us, which transfer to you, and where are liability and IP addressed?

Switching & leaving an EOR

Published terms set initial one-year agreement, annual automatic renewals and convenience termination only after initial term on60days written notice. USD750 transition fee plus actual termination/notice/severance/legal costs survives termination; deposit refund is conditional.

Legacy transfer followup

The public DPA still reproduces the12-clause international transfer text referring to Directive95/46/EC. European Commission Q22 says prior SCCs ceased to be a valid transfer basis after27December2022. This is a public-document maintenance concern requiring current executed transfer safeguards; it does not establish an actual unlawful transfer, breach or regulatory finding.
