Paid Services of Hirbox
Certain software and services offered by Hirbox are made
available to users on a paid basis. Users 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 the customer. If
the customer is exempt from otherwise applicable taxes, the 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 canceled may include pricing errors,
availability issues, or credit card payments that are declined by the issuing
financial institution.
The 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 interviews, or work performance, suitability before or after
hire, and will not participate in any negotiations or discussions with respect
to the hiring, promoting, disciplining, firing, or relocating of such applicant
later employed by the client. All assessment and resume reviewing services by
recruiters are provided as optional, value-added services to the client, and
recruiters 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. If 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 the 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
the 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 an
employer-initiated reduction in workforce, elimination of the candidate’s
position, or insufficient work for the 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, though we cannot be liable
or responsible for our user’s specific actions. All employers, recruiters, and
others using Hirbox services for employment services agree to follow the laws
and guidance set by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

their last submitted candidate, without the specific consent of Hirbox.
·
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.
·
They understand that Hirbox will only pay
third-party recruiter users after the guarantee period has successfully passed.
·
Recruiters should expect payment within thirty
(30) days from the date of expiration of the guarantee with the employer.
·
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 the time of the initial candidate resume submittal
for each specific job. For times beyond one (1) year, each third-party recruiter
releases all claims to submitted candidate resumes.

substitute, or cancel all merchandise and other prizes available through the
recruiter rewards program. Additional terms for recruiter rewards may apply to

·
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 the 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 the
candidate’s first year’s base salary or minimum total contract compensation,
excluding per diems), unless modified by an 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 the candidate has accepted and signed the offer of employment
letter.
·
They shall pay a placement fee to the recruiter
on a contingency basis if they or any of its affiliates hire a candidate
referred by the recruiter (“hired candidate”) within one (1) year that the
candidate was referred to them by the recruiter. The placement fee is also
earned if they refer a candidate to another company who hires the candidate.
·
It is the employer’s responsibility to inform
the recruiter in writing of any duplicate candidate resumes previously known or
received within 48 hours of the receipt of the candidate’s resume from the
recruiter; otherwise, the employer will be obligated to pay a placement fee to
the recruiter for the hired candidate, even if the 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

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.
We cannot guarantee the site will be always available. We
may experience hardware, software, or other problems or need to perform

We reserve the right to change, revise, update, suspend, discontinue, or
otherwise modify the site at any time or for any reason without notice to you.
You agree that we have no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, or
inconvenience caused by your inability to access or use the site during any downtime

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:
1. 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.
2. 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) year 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Corrections:
There may be information on the site that contains
typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions,

of Lability:
In no event will we or our directors, employees, or agents
be liable to you or any third party for any direct, indirect, consequential,
exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including lost profit,
lost revenue, loss of data, or other damages arising from your use of the site,

Certain state laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the
exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to you, some or

matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate,
