This TestedRecruits Subscription Agreement, including its exhibits (“PSA”), governs any ordering document executed by the customer identified in that ordering document (“Customer”) and the TestedRecruits company identified in that ordering document (“TestedRecruits”).  This PSA, the applicable ordering document, and any other incorporated terms, comprise the complete understanding between the parties on the subject matter (“Agreement”). 

1. ORDERING

1.1      Ordering Services. Customer may access and use the subscription and advertising services offered via TestedRecruits’s websites to the extent and for the term stated in the ordering document (“Services”). Customer may allow its Affiliate to order Services under the terms of this PSA only if Customer informs TestedRecruits in writing of the specific Affiliate authorized to do so. That authorized Affiliate will be (a) deemed a “Customer” for that order only; and (b) jointly and severally liable with Customer for its use of the Services and compliance with the Agreement. “Affiliate” means an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, a party.

1.2      Payment and Taxes. Customer will pay the fees for the Services in accordance with the payment terms stated in the ordering document. For Services that require payment by credit card, TestedRecruits will charge Customer’s credit card upon receipt of the credit card information and upon renewals. Customer’s purchases are non-cancelable and payment for Services is non-refundable, except as otherwise stated in this PSA. Customer will pay or reimburse TestedRecruits for all federal, state, and local taxes, including sales, use, gross receipts, VAT, levy, GST, or similar transaction taxes imposed on Customer’s purchase of Services, unless Customer provides TestedRecruits with a valid tax exemption certificate.  All taxes payable by Customer will be separately stated and exclusive of the fees. Customer will have no liability for taxes that are statutorily imposed on TestedRecruits, including taxes or fees measured by TestedRecruits’s net or gross income. 

2. RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1      Use of Services. Customer will use the Services solely for its intended purpose, and as outlined in TestedRecruits’s service-specific (“Service Terms”). Unless otherwise stated in the Agreement, only Customer-designated employees and contractors are authorized to use the Services (“Customer User”) and must be a Member when accessing Services through TestedRecruits.com. A “Member” is an individual who signs-up to use TestedRecruits’s services under TestedRecruits’s user agreement, currently available, as amended by TestedRecruits from time to time (“User Agreement”). The terms of the User Agreement are incorporated into this PSA. Customer will ensure that Customer Users comply with the User Agreement when using the Service in in a non-personal capacity. Customer may only use the Services for Customer’s internal use. Customer will not provide access to the Services to any third party, except that Customer may allow its Affiliates to access and use the Services if Customer is fully liable for its Affiliates’ use of the Services and compliance with the Agreement. Customer will notify TestedRecruits immediately upon learning of any unauthorized use of the Services or any other breach of security related to the Services. Customer may use information about Members that it collects in connection with its use of the Services only as needed for use of the Services and as expressly permitted in this PSA. TestedRecruits may communicate to Customer Users about the Services, including how to use the Services.

2.2      Provision of Services. Customer is responsible for providing TestedRecruits with the information necessary for TestedRecruits to provide the Services. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, quality and legality of such information. If a Service must integrate with third-party systems or applications used by Customer (e.g. an applicant tracking system, “ATS” or a customer relationship management system, “CRM”), Customer is solely responsible for the integration and related activities. TestedRecruits disclaims any and all liability for the use of third-party systems or applications residing outside TestedRecruits’s systems.

2.3    Data Protection. If either party processes Personal Data (as defined in Section 1 of the DPA) on behalf of the other pursuant to this Agreement, then TestedRecruits and Customer will comply with the terms of the TestedRecruits Data Processing Agreement, currently available the terms of which are incorporated into this PSA.   

2.4    Compliance with Laws. The parties will comply with all applicable Data Protection Requirements (as defined in Section 1 of the DPA) and all international, federal, state, provincial and local laws relating to (a) corruption practice, bribery, and acts contrary to the public administration including the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, 15 U.S.C. § 78dd-1, et seq.; and (b) discrimination against employees or job applicants based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, veteran status or disability. TestedRecruits is enrolled in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify program regarding the immigration and employment eligibility of newly hired employees. 

3. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

3.1      Definition. “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed under the Agreement that (a) if tangible, is clearly marked as “Confidential” or with a similar designation; (b) if intangible, is identified as “Confidential” by discloser at the time of disclosure and confirmed in writing to recipient as being Confidential Information; or (c) from the relevant circumstances should reasonably be known by recipient to be confidential (e.g. pricing, non-public Personal Data, etc.). Confidential Information does not include any portion of the information that recipient can prove (a) was rightfully known to recipient before receipt from discloser; (b) was generally known to the public on the Effective Date; (c) becomes generally known to the public after the Effective Date, through no fault of recipient; (d) was received by recipient from a third party without any confidentiality obligation; or (e) was independently developed by recipient without breach of this section 3.

3.2      Limited Use and Non-Disclosure. Recipient will (a) use Confidential Information only for the purposes of furthering the business relationship between the parties; (b) protect Confidential Information using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care; (c) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party except (1) to Affiliates or employees, students, consultants, and agents who (i) have a need to know it in order to carry out their obligations under the Agreement, and (ii) are under written confidentiality and non-use obligations at least as restrictive as those stated in this PSA or (2) as required by law; and (d) not modify, reverse engineer, decompile, create other works from, or disassemble any Confidential Information, to the extent applicable, unless authorized in writing by discloser. 

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND OWNERSHIP

No right, title or interest in any intellectual property right transfers to the other party, except for the limited rights stated in the Agreement. Customer is not obligated to provide TestedRecruits or its Affiliates with any suggestions, enhancement requests, or other feedback about the Services or related technology. However, if Customer does provide any feedback to TestedRecruits, TestedRecruits may use and modify it without any restriction or payment. 

5. TERM AND TERMINATION

5.1      Term. This PSA is effective on the date the first ordering document is executed by Customer and TestedRecruits (“Effective Date”) and remains in effect until terminated.

5.2      Termination and Suspension. Either party may terminate this PSA or an ordering document if the other party materially breaches the Agreement and fails to cure the breach within 30 days after receiving notice of the breach. TestedRecruits may suspend Customer’s access to the Services if Customer is in breach of the Agreement and the suspension will continue for as long as reasonably necessary for Customer to remedy the breach. If all ordering documents under this PSA have expired or been terminated, then either party may terminate this PSA for convenience by providing written notice to the other party.  

5.3      Effect of Termination. Termination of this PSA or an ordering document will not relieve Customer from its obligation to pay TestedRecruits any fees stated in an ordering document, excluding termination by Customer for TestedRecruits’s uncured material breach of this PSA. If Customer terminates this PSA or an ordering document because of TestedRecruits’s uncured material breach, TestedRecruits will refund a pro-rata share of any pre-paid fees under the applicable ordering document. Customer will notify Customer Users that their access to the applicable Services has terminated and TestedRecruits may remove or discard all content that Customer uploaded or otherwise made available to TestedRecruits in accordance with TestedRecruits’s policies. Termination of an ordering document does not terminate this PSA; however, termination of this PSA will result in the immediate termination of all ordering documents. The provisions of this PSA that by their nature extend beyond the termination of this PSA will survive termination.  

6. LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER

TestedRecruits makes no representation or warranty about the Services, including any representation that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, TestedRecruits disclaims any implied or statutory warranty, including any implied warranty of title, non-infringement, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. 

7. INDEMNIFICATION

TestedRecruits will defend and indemnify Customer, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers and Customer Users from and against all third party claims to the extent resulting from or alleged to have resulted from (a) the Services’ infringement of a third party’s intellectual property right; or (b) TestedRecruits’s material breach of the Agreement. Customer will defend and indemnify TestedRecruits, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers and employees from and against all third party claims to the extent resulting from or alleged to have resulted from (y) the infringement of a third party’s intellectual property right by any content, data or other information uploaded into TestedRecruits’s system or otherwise provided by Customer; or (z) Customer’s material breach of the Agreement.

The indemnified party will (y) not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the request for settlement or compromise; and (z) assist and cooperate in the defense as reasonably requested by the indemnifying party at the indemnifying party’s expense.  

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction and venue of the applicable courts. The prevailing party in any litigation may seek to recover its legal fees and costs.

10. MISCELLANEOUS

If a conflict exists between any of the terms in the Agreement, then the DPA will govern, followed by this PSA, the ordering document, the Service Terms, and finally the User Agreement. Neither party relies on any undertaking, promise, assurance, statement, representation, warranty or understanding of any person relating to the subject matter of the Agreement, other than as stated in the Agreement. Notices will be provided in writing and delivered by commercial overnight courier to the address of the other party stated on the ordering document, unless otherwise stated in the Agreement. Notices are effective on the date of delivery as indicated in the records of the courier. The Agreement does not create a partnership, agency relationship, or joint venture between the parties. Neither party has the power or authority to bind the other or to create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other. Under no circumstances will any employee of one party be deemed to be the employee of the other. TestedRecruits may name Customer as a customer of TestedRecruits’s in its marketing and promotional materials. Neither party will assign the Agreement in whole or in part without the other party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably denied, delayed or conditioned), except to an Affiliate or a successor that is not a competitor of the non-assigning party, made in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially all of a party’s assets or stock. Any attempted assignment in violation of this restriction is void. The Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Customer will provide TestedRecruits written notification if Customer is purchasing Services through a TestedRecruits approved agency. If Customer is an agency binding a client under this PSA, Customer (a) represents and warrants that it has the authority to bind the client under this PSA; (b) will notify TestedRecruits in writing of the name and address of its client that will access and use the Services; and (c) remains jointly and severally liable for all of Customer’s obligations under the Agreement. If the Agreement is translated into a language other than English, the translation is for convenience only, and the English language version will govern. TestedRecruits may remotely monitor Customer’s use of the Services to ensure compliance with the Agreement. If any provision of the Agreement is unenforceable, that provision will be modified to render it enforceable to the extent possible to give effect to the parties’ intentions and the remaining provisions will not be affected. The parties may amend the Agreement only in a written amendment signed by both parties, except for the User Agreement and Service Terms, which may be modified in accordance with their terms. If this PSA will be executed then it can be executed electronically and in counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and together comprise a single document. Each party represents and warrants that the individual binding a party under this PSA is authorized to do so.
