3. Enforcement and Reporting

Warp maintains unilateral authority to investigate potential violations and enforce this Policy. Warp may cooperate with law enforcement regarding illegal activities. While Warp has no obligation to monitor Platform usage, it reserves the right to review, disable, or remove any content or activity at its sole discretion.

Reporting obligations

Users must promptly report any suspected Policy violation, security incident, or unauthorized access to security@joinwarp.com. Failure to notify Warp within 72 hours of discovery may be deemed a separate Policy violation.

Good-faith security research

Warp encourages responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities. Researchers acting in good faith who refrain from exploiting or exfiltrating data and provide a detailed vulnerability report to responsible-disclosure@joinwarp.com will not be deemed in violation of the technical restrictions in this Policy.

Safe-harbor limitations

Safe harbor does not apply to activities that:

• Compromise payroll data
• Violate any applicable privacy statute
• Result in service disruption

Warp retains sole discretion to determine whether safe harbor applies.

4. Compliance and Remediation

Payroll and tax-data restrictions

Because Warp processes wage, tax, and benefits information subject to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, Bank Secrecy Act, and state unemployment statutes, users must:

• Collect only information necessary for lawful payroll processing
• Not store wage or tax data on non-Warp systems unless encrypted to NIST FIPS 140-2 standards
• Comply with all IRS Publication 1345 e-file security standards when transmitting documents to Warp
• Not use the Services to file tax documents on behalf of entities located in embargoed nations

International data transfers

Users outside the United States must ensure their collection of Employee Data is lawful under applicable data-protection frameworks (e.g., GDPR, PIPEDA). By uploading personal data to the Platform, users represent that appropriate cross-border transfer mechanisms (SCCs, UK IDTA, or equivalent) have been implemented.

Industry-specific restrictions

The Services may not be used by:

• Cannabis businesses lacking federal banking authorization
• Online gambling operations
• Adult-content producers
• Shell entities formed solely for tax evasion

Warp may request evidentiary documentation (e.g., employer identification number, beneficial-ownership affidavit) to validate compliance.

Third-party integrations

Users integrating third-party software with Warp must:

• Use only documented APIs and comply with rate limits
• Implement OAuth 2.0 or comparable secure authentication
• Abide by all prohibitions in this Policy

Warp disclaims liability for data exfiltration arising from non-authorized third-party integrations.

Investigation and suspension

Upon notice of an alleged violation, Warp may immediately suspend access and provide a written Suspension Notice detailing the alleged violation and required remediation steps. Users must respond within five (5) business days; non-response constitutes admission.

Reinstatement

Suspended users may request reinstatement only after:

• Completing an internal audit and certifying remediation in writing
• Paying any outstanding fees or investigation costs
• Implementing controls reasonably requested by Warp (e.g., MFA, IP allow-listing)

A second violation within any rolling twelve-month period constitutes a material breach under Warp's Terms of Service and may result in permanent termination, data-export fees, and referral to regulatory authorities.
