PAID SERVICES OF HIRBOX
Certain software and

that choose to use paid services agree to the following additional terms and
conditions. Hirbox reserves the right to change, modify, or append services and
the pricing for those services at any time. With any change in pricing, the
customer will be notified of such change and the change will only take effect
upon the next billing cycle.
Any taxes due on
services shall be paid by customer. If the customer is exempt from otherwise
applicable taxes, customer must submit its tax identification number and
exemption certificate to Hirbox for review before the start of paid services.
Hirbox may cancel
orders for any reason. Some common situations in which orders are cancelled may
include pricing errors, availability issues, or credit card payments that are
declined by the issuing financial institution.
Customer agrees to compensate Hirbox for its
reasonable expenses, including attorney and collection agency fees, incurred in
the collection of payments and the enforcing of its rights under this
agreement. Overdue and delinquent payments for all services may incur an
interest charge on the outstanding balance of the lesser of one- and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law.
With respect to any
paid or free service offered, Hirbox will have no specific responsibility with
respect to the veracity of applicant resumes, applicant interview or work
performance, suitability before or after hire, and will not participate in any
negotiations or discussion with respect to the hiring, promoting, disciplining,
firing, or relocating of such applicant later employed by client. All
assessment and resume reviewing services by recruiter are provided as optional,
value-added services to client and recruiter shall not be held liable for any
inaccuracies, disparities, or misrepresentations. Formal assessment and
pre-hire services are not provided unless specifically paid for as an optional
service. All assessment services are not an exhaustive check of employment, education,
and other background information.
Hirbox cannot promise
the effectiveness of any of its services in relation to the procurement of a
job or career advancement. Hirbox makes no promise or guarantee of employment
with either free or paid services. All services are performed for general and
informational use only.
TERMS SPECIFIC TO PAID JOB POSTING
The following terms
apply to the service whereby the user uses the site to post jobs online.
No refunds: you may
upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your job posting subscription at any time. If you
sign up using a free trial of the job posting service, you may cancel the
service without incurring a charge if you cancel during the free trial period.
Once payment has been made, we do not offer refunds for cancellation.
Moderation /
suspension of account: Hirbox or its representatives, subsidiaries or partners
may decide to suspend or terminate your account at any time, for any reason.
Common reasons include improper use of the service, misrepresentations to job
applicants, fraudulent activity, misuse of free trial offerings, and activity
that violates these terms or our privacy policy. In the event that your account
is suspended or terminated, there shall be no refund offered; however, your
account will be cancelled, and no further charges will be incurred.
Billing terms: certain
services are automatically renewed monthly. For these services, payment is due
on the first day of the renewal period. If there is an interruption in payment,
such as a billing issue, such interruption does not relieve customer of the
obligation to pay the monthly fee, even in the case of inactivity or non-use of
services.
Terms specific to job
market platform (recruiting services) for employers and third-party recruiters
Additional contracts: for all employers and third-party
recruiters, the terms contained within a valid and executed agreement with Hirbox
(“additional contract”) shall amend the terms contained within this
section “terms specific to job market platform (recruiting services) for
employers and third-party recruiters.” All other terms and conditions contained
within these terms of use and the privacy policy shall remain intact and
unchanged.
Rights to sensitive
business information: Hirbox takes great care and undertakes great expense to
procure its employer clients, third party recruiter relationships, and business
data and information. Hirbox selectively provides access to these valuable
clients, relationships, data, and information as a value-added service to its
users. All users agree and acknowledge, with clear and sophisticated
understanding, to never use this provided access and information to compete
directly with Hirbox or share this information with another third party for the
purposes of commercial gain. All provided client and candidate information
shall be considered the sole property of Hirbox, with all the rights and
privileges associated with valid ownership.
Independent
contractor: third party recruiters that utilize the services of Hirbox do so as
independent contractors and free agents. No payment, reward, or services
offered to users from Hirbox shall form or imply an employment relationship nor
shall it form or imply any form of partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship.
Selection of candidates: Hirbox reserves the right to delete, modify, alter,
and/or reject all content submitted to Hirbox, including but not limited to
candidate resumes and other information submitted by third party recruiters.
Communications: Hirbox
regularly communicates information from one third party to another third party,
such as in the case of conveying information about a candidate from an employer
to a third-party recruiter. Hirbox shall not be responsible for the accuracy of
such information but shall use commercially reasonable practices to communicate
the information properly.
Data maintenance:
although Hirbox conducts regular backups and takes certain security
precautions, Hirbox shall not be held liable for maintenance of user data nor
continuation of its service. Users are responsible for the creation and
maintenance of their own data, including candidate and client information. Individualized
contracts and changes: Hirbox will from time to time negotiate different terms
and conditions with individual clients that do not conform to the standard
contractual terms. Hirbox reserves the right to selectively modify, in whole or
in part, the terms, including but not limited to the guarantee period, for
individual clients, without special communication to third party recruiters.
Quality of listings: Hirbox performs checks to ensure that job listings are
active, of good quality, and updated regularly. However, because Hirbox
publishes job listings from its employer clients and other third-party
recruiters, Hirbox cannot guarantee the accuracy, prioritization, or other
details of its job listings and client information.
Guarantee: recruiter
shall provide a replacement guarantee as specified in the additional contract
(“guarantee”), effective from hired candidate’s employment start date, for any
hired candidate that terminates, or is terminated by the employer (“candidate
termination”), provided that such candidate termination was not a result of a
employer-initiated reduction in workforce, elimination of the candidate’s
position, or insufficient work for candidate and that the employer has paid all
invoices outstanding according to the terms described in this agreement. Hirbox
will make every effort to provide a suitable replacement applicant within 30
days.
Termination: Hirbox
reserves the right to terminate access to Hirbox, in whole or in part, for any
user, for any reason, in its sole discretion.
Equal opportunity: Hirbox
is an equal opportunity employer and does its best to monitor the behaviors and
recruiting practices of our users as related to their use of our platform,

recruiters: in addition to the general terms above, all third-party recruiters

understand the specific placement and fee terms related to each individual
position; and
They will take
reasonable care to review the submittal of each candidate; and

business with the employers for which they submit candidates, for any reason,
for a period of 12 months after their last submitted candidate, without the
specific consent of Hirbox; and
They understand that
if a placement fee is generated through the platform, the amount due to them,
as a third-party recruiter, shall be equal to a percentage of the total (or
“gross”) placement fee, net of any additionally incurred costs. The
percentage shall be 50% of the total placement fee, unless the percentage is
modified through an additional executed agreement with Hirbox or by the
purchase of a different level of account with Hirbox, such as the
“pro” account; and
They understand that Hirbox
will only pay third party recruiter users after the guarantee period has
successfully passed; and
Recruiters should
expect payment within thirty (30) days from the date of expiration of the
guarantee with employer; and
They understand that
they will receive credit and/or placement fees only for candidate resume
submittals for the jobs to which those candidate resumes were directly
submitted and only in the case that another recruiter did not submit the same
candidate to the same job earlier. The credit period for all candidates resume
submittals shall be a period of exactly one (1) year from time of initial
candidate resume submittal for each specific job. For times beyond one (1)
year, each third-party recruiter releases any and all claims to submitted candidate
resumes.

to change, modify, substitute, or cancel any and all merchandise and other
prizes available through the recruiter rewards program. Additional terms for
recruiter rewards may apply to international users outside of the continental
us.
Employers: in addition
to the general terms above, all employers agree that:
Recruiter shall
provide direct hire recruitment services. Recruiter may present applicants for
potential hire (“candidates” and each a “candidate”) by providing resumes
and/or candidate profiles for evaluation in support of employer’s intent to
locate, identify and potentially hire candidates as full-time employees
(“services”).
The placement fee owed
to recruiter is equal to 20% of compensation (“compensation” defined as the
equivalent of candidate’s first year’s base salary or minimum total contract
compensation, excluding per diems), unless modified by additional contract
(“placement fee”). The compensation can only be confirmed after the employer
has made a specific offer in writing by fax, postal mail, or authorized email
transmission; and candidate has accepted, and signed the offer of employment
letter.
They shall pay
placement fee to recruiter on a contingency basis if they or any of its
affiliates hires a candidate referred by recruiter (“hired candidate”) within
one (1) year that candidate was referred to them by recruiter. The placement
fee is also earned if they refer candidate to another company who hires
candidate.
It is the employer’s
responsibility to inform recruiter in writing of any duplicate candidate
resumes previously known or received within 48 hours of receipt of candidate’s
resume from recruiter; otherwise, the employer will be obligated to pay
placement fee to recruiter for hired candidate, even if hired candidate was
previously known.
They will pay all
placement fees due in full and in a timely fashion, according to the terms and
conditions contained here or as amended with a directly executed recruiting
services contract.

TERM AND TERMINATION
These terms of use
shall remain in full force and effect while you use the site. Without limiting
any other provision of these terms of use, we reserve the right to, in our sole
discretion and without notice or liability, deny access to and use of the site
(including blocking certain ip addresses), to any person for any reason or for
no reason, including without limitation for breach of any representation, warranty,
or covenant contained in these terms of use or of any applicable law or
regulation. We may terminate your use or participation in the site or delete
your account and any content or information that you posted at any time, without
warning, in our sole discretion.
If we terminate or
suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating
a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any
third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party. In addition
to terminating or suspending your account, we reserve the right to take
appropriate legal action, including without limitation pursuing civil,
criminal, and injunctive redress.
MODIFICATIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS
We reserve the right
to change, modify, or remove the contents of the site at any time or for any
reason at our sole discretion without notice. However, we have no obligation to
update any information on our site. We also reserve the right to modify or
discontinue all or part of the site without notice at any time. We will not be
liable to you or any third party for any modification, price change,
suspension, or discontinuance of the site.
We cannot guarantee
the site will be always available. We may experience hardware, software, or
other problems or need to perform maintenance related to the site, resulting in
interruptions, delays, or errors. We reserve the right to change, revise,
update, suspend, discontinue, or otherwise modify the site at any time or for

GOVERNING LAW
These terms of use and
your use of the site are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the state of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be entirely
performed within the state of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law
principles.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution
and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these
terms of use (each a “dispute” and collectively, the “disputes”)
brought by either you or us (individually, a “party” and collectively, the
“parties”), the parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute (except
those disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30)
days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon
written notice from one party to the other party.
Binding Arbitration
If the parties are
unable to resolve a dispute through informal negotiations, the dispute (except
those disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively
resolved by binding arbitration. You understand that without this provision, you
would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. The arbitration
shall be commenced and conducted under the commercial arbitration rules of the American
arbitration association (“aaa”) and, where appropriate, the aaa’s
supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes (“aaa consumer
rules”), both of which are available at the aaa website www.adr.org. Your arbitration
fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the aaa
consumer rules and, where appropriate, limited by the aaa consumer rules. The arbitration
may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or
online. The arbitrator will decide in writing but need not provide a statement
of reasons unless requested by either party. The arbitrator must follow
applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do
so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable aaa rules or applicable
law, the arbitration will take place in Wilmington County, de. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the parties may litigate in court to compel
arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify,
vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a
dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the dispute shall be
commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Wilmington
County, de, and the parties hereby consent to, and waive all defences of lack
of personal jurisdiction, and forum non convenient with respect to venue and
jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United
Nations convention on contracts for the international sale of goods and the
uniform computer information transaction act (ucita) are excluded from these
terms of use.
In no event shall any
dispute brought by either party related in any way to the site be commenced
more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is
found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither party will elect to
arbitrate any dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be
illegal or unenforceable and such dispute shall be decided by a court of
competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the
parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions
The parties agree that
any arbitration shall be limited to the dispute between the parties
individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be
joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any
dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action
procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be
brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public
or any other persons.
Exceptions to informal
negotiations and arbitration
The parties agree that
the following disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning
informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any disputes seeking to
enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual
property rights of a party; (b) any dispute related to, or arising from,
allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c)
any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or
unenforceable, then neither party will elect to arbitrate any dispute falling
within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and
such dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the
courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the parties agree to submit to the
personal jurisdiction of that court.
