13.6. Non-waiver

We reserve all rights under applicable law. Our non-enforcement of any provision of this Agreement or under applicable law will not be construed as Our waiver of any enforcement rights under the same or different circumstances at any time in the future.

Should any Success Fees, Subscription Service Term fees, or other fees incurred by Client pursuant to Client’s use of the Services remain unpaid more than ten (10) days after the fifteen (15) day payment requirement set forth herein, Hired will, as a genuine assessment of its damages, assess a late payment fee on Client’s invoice equal to five percent (5%) of the amount overdue for each month OR FRACTION THEREOF, OR SUCH LESSER AMOUNT AS MAY BE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW, outstanding until paid, beginning with the due date of the late payment. If You are on a monthly payment plan for Hired Marketplace, any payment default of sixty (60) or more days will result in a charge of eighteen percent (18%) of Candidate’s base salary for any Covered Offers accepted prior to or during the delinquency period.

You agree and understand that You are liable for the assessment and payment of any and all applicable taxes with respect to Your payment for Hired Services. Hired may change its fees and billing methods at any time (including to begin charging for services that it is currently providing free of charge) by providing notice to You as set forth in the Notice section herein.

Hired makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees with respect to the Professional Services. The term of these Professional Services will be as purchased or set forth on an applicable Subscription Agreement or Order Form and may not be terminated early by Client. Hired disclaims all liability for actions taken by Client pursuant to the Professional Services offered.

13.10. Assignment

Except as set forth below, neither party may assign or transfer this Agreement including any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party.

13.16. Beta or Evaluation Usage

If Hired indicates any features of functionality as a beta or evaluation (referred to as the “Beta Service”), then You may use the Beta Service for a period of time as indicated by Hired, pursuant to Hired’s then current fees for the Beta Service, if applicable. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE TERMS OF SERVICE OR ANY AGREEMENT YOU MAY HAVE DIRECTLY WITH HIRED, YOUR USE OF THE BETA SERVICE WILL BE PURSUANT TO HIRED’S THEN CURRENT TERMS OF SERVICE AND PRIVACY NOTICE. HIRED PROVIDES THESE BETA SERVICE(S) “AS IS” WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, REFUNDS, OR INDEMNIFICATION OF ANY KIND. Hired may discontinue, modify, or begin to charge for use of a Beta service at any time, and at their sole discretion.

14.1. Introduction

The Hired Marketplace is owned and operated by Hired and provides a platform to both Clients and Candidates to connect regarding relevant potential employment or contract opportunities. Hired serves only as the platform provider, and any communication, hiring, or other decisions are solely those of the Client and Candidate, not Hired.

14.2. Client Specific Terms

Once a Client registered for the Service, the Client will be able to browse the Candidates on the Service, communicate with these Candidates, and submit non-binding interview requests (“Interview Request(s)”). YOU UNDERSTAND THAT HIRED DOES NOT INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUNDS OF ITS USERS OR ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THE STATEMENTS OF ITS USERS. YOU AGREE TO CONDUCT ANY BACKGROUND CHECKS, REFERENCE CHECKS, OR OTHER DUE DILIGENCE THAT YOU MAY REQUIRE BEFORE ENGAGING ANY CANDIDATE.

Once a Client has discovered a Candidate on the Service, the Client agrees to submit all Interview Requests exclusively through the Service. The Client and the Candidate may use other means of communication as agreed upon between Client and Candidate after such Interview Request has been submitted. The Client agrees not to circumvent the Service by independently attempting to communicate and hire the Candidate through alternative means after discovering the Candidate on the Service.

14.3. Limited Exclusivity for Candidates

Candidates discovered on the Hired Service are exclusive Candidates of Hired for a period of ninety (90) days from view date by Client on the Hired Service. Such exclusivity, for clarity, means that for any Candidate hired by Client from the Hired Marketplace Client will be charged Hired’s then-current Success Fee for any accepted Covered Offers (defined below) (unless otherwise covered by an active Subscription Agreement) if such Covered Offer is provided to Candidate within the above noted ninety (90) day period. If a Client circumvents the Service after discovering a Candidate and subsequently hires that Candidate by means other than the Service during or within ninety (90) days after expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Client will pay Hired a Fee equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the 1st year base salary or prorated contractor compensation of the Candidate and Hired may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Client’s account.

14.4. Subscription Agreements

Clients engaged in a Subscription Agreement with Hired (individually a “Subscription Client” and collectively “Subscription Clients”) will be charged a Subscription fee as agreed upon between the Client and Hired for the period as agreed upon between the parties (the “Subscription Period”). During the Subscription Period, the Subscription Client will be able to browse, request, contact (through the Service) and extend Covered Offers to Candidates listed on the Service. All Covered Offers must be made for positions located in the territories set forth in Your Subscription Agreement. All other territories are excluded. Contractor Engagements will count towards the number of Full-Time Hires set forth on the Order Form.

If Your Subscription Agreement contains payment obligations for Covered Offers Client agrees to pay the Committed Success Fee for such Covered Offers as indicated in such Subscription Agreement. In the event of a dispute regarding Committed Success Fees, if Client can show that within the three (3) months prior to discovery on the Hired Marketplace, Client had active back and forth communications with a Candidate regarding the relevant employment opportunity, Hired may, in its sole discretion, determine if such Committed Success Fee remains due and owed. In the event You have paid a Success Fee and a Candidate is terminated or discontinues their employment or contractor engagement with You within ninety (90) days of start date, Hired will provide You a credit for additional Hired Marketplace services corresponding to the Committed Success Fees paid for such Candidate. Any applied credit will expire twelve (12) months from date issued. YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY ANY SUCCESS FEES SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ALL ELSE, SUBSCRIPTIONS MAY NOT BE TERMINATED OR CANCELLED BY YOU PRIOR TO THEIR STATED SUBSCRIPTION END DATE (EXCEPTING ONLY MATERIAL, UNCURED BREACH BY HIRED).

14.5. Authorized Users and Devices

Client will be provided a number of “Premium” and “Standard” seats (each, an “Authorized User”). “Premium” seats will be those Users able to interact with Candidate on the Service, including sending Interview Requests. “Standard” seats will be those Users able to view Candidates on the Service but will not be able to interact with, or send Interview Requests, to Candidates.

Client will designate one Client User for each seat it purchases and will not permit a Client User to share a Client User’s access to the Service with any other individual. If a Client User ceases employment, takes leave or vacation, or transfers work function, Client may transfer the Client User’s seat to a different Client User. Hired reserves the right to limit the number of transfers of each seat. If Hired discovers that Client Users are sharing seat access to the Service with other Client employees or contractors who have not been provisioned access (each, an “Unauthorized User”), this will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Hired will have the right to assign any unused seats purchased by Client to the Unauthorized Users to remedy Client’s breach. If there are no unused purchased seats, Hired reserves the right to assess a fee equal to 1.5 times the prorated cost of the Additional Premium Seat.

Each Authorized User may be logged into Our Service from up to three (3) different browsers or computers (the “Devices”) at the same time. Should Client exceed the Device limit, Client will be notified through the Service and prompted to log out of at least one (1) other active session before proceeding.

Client may add additional seats at any time during an applicable Service Term. For clarity, additional seats will be added only for the duration of the applicable Service Term and the associated fee set forth on the applicable Order Form will be prorated accordingly. Upon Client’s notice of intent to add additional seats and immediate payment of invoice, Hired will add the number of seats requested.

14.6. Candidate Specific Terms

A Candidate is required to promptly notify Hired if the Candidate: (a) accepts a Client’s offer of employment, whether for an indefinite or fixed term; (b) accepts an offer to engage as a contractor, whether for an indefinite or fixed term (each, a “Contractor Engagement”); or (c) accepts a Client’s employment offer during or within twelve (12) months after termination of a Contractor Engagement with such Client (each, a “Covered Offer”). You agree that: (i) if You receive a Covered Offer, You shall promptly notify Hired of Your Start Date and the key terms of such Covered Offer (and notify Hired promptly should that Start Date or offer terms change at any time); and (ii) You will promptly notify Hired after termination of Your employment as a Candidate, intern, coop Candidate, consultant or contractor in the event that: (A) a Client terminates Your engagement based on unsatisfactory performance within ninety (90) days of the date on which Your Employment commenced; or (B) You voluntarily terminate Your engagement within ninety (90) days of the date on which Your engagement commenced.

The Candidate agrees not to attempt to circumvent the Service by independently attempting to communicate with a Client that contacted or communicated with him or her on the Service.

14.7. Contractor Engagements

14.7.1. General

Client and Candidate are responsible for any contracts or agreements they may form with respect to such Contractor Engagements. Hired does not control, manage, or provide any guidance with respect to the determination of independent contractor or employee status, subsequent agreements between Client and Candidate, or services performed by or payments made to the Client pursuant to a Contractor Engagement. Candidate and Client expressly agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency agreement exists between them and Hired as a result of this Agreement or any use of the Hired Service, and that Hired is not a joint employer for purposes of this Agreement.

14.7.2. Classification and Relationship

Client and Candidate assume all liability for proper classification of Candidates as independent contractors or employees based on applicable legal guidelines. Candidate and Client acknowledge that Hired does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control the manner, means, or conditions of any work or services performed. Client and Candidate will be solely responsible for all tax returns and payments required to be filed with or made to any federal, state, or local tax authority, in any nation, with respect to a contractor engagement.

In addition to the indemnification obligations set forth herein, Client and Candidate agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Hired from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to their engagement, including but not limited to any breach of any of Contractor’s representations and warranties, from the death or injury of any person or persons, including employees of Client or Contractor, or from damage or destruction of any work or properties, attributable to or resulting from Contractor Engagement with Client, claims misclassification of a Client as an independent contractor, any liabilities arising from a determination by a court, arbitrator, government agency or other body that Candidate was misclassified, any claim that Hired was an employer or joint employer of Candidate, as well as breach of agreement, action, inaction, omission or any claims under any employment-related laws, such as those relating to termination of employment, employment discrimination, harassment or retaliation, as well as any claims for overtime pay, sick leave, holiday or vacation pay, minimum wages, payroll taxes, social security or unemployment taxes, or disability insurance, retirement benefits, worker’s compensation benefits, unemployment benefits, or any other employee benefits required by law.

15.1. Introduction

The Assessment Service is owned and operated by Hired and provides a collection of programming challenges and courses that are designed to prepare or assess a Candidate for a job interview and a platform for Clients to create custom challenges through the Assessment Service.

15.2. Authorized Users

Client will designate one (1) Client User for each seat it purchases and will not permit a Client User to share a Client User’s access to the Service with any other individual. If a Client User ceases employment, takes leave or vacation, or transfers work function, Client may transfer the Client User’s seat to a different Client User. Hired reserves the right to limit the number of transfers of each seat. If Hired discovers that Client Users are sharing seat access to the Service with other Client employees or contractors who have not been provisioned access (each, an “Unauthorized User”), this will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. Hired will have the right to assign any unused seats purchased by Client to the Unauthorized Users to remedy Client’s breach. If there are no unused purchased seats, Hired reserves the right to assess a fee equal to 1.5 times the prorated cost of the additional seat.

Client may add additional seats at any time during the applicable Service Term. For clarity, additional seats will be added only for the duration of the applicable Service Term and the associated fee set forth on an applicable Order Form will be prorated accordingly. Upon Client’s notice of intent to add additional seats and immediate payment of invoice, Hired will add the number of seats requested.
