1. The Service

The Service is offered on a software-as-a-service subscription basis subject to the Terms. Take Talent retains all rights to the Service. We may change the Service in our sole discretion from time to time as we refine it and add more or other features. We may also stop, suspend, or modify the Service at any time without prior notice to you, in any circumstances we reasonably determine to be necessary, including but not limited (i) to perform essential repairs/maintenance to the Service; (ii) where your use of the Service is in breach of your obligations under this agreement; (iii) where payment of the fees for the Service are not paid in a timely manner. We also may impose limitations on bandwidth usage for the Service as we, in our sole discretion, determine to be appropriate.

You acknowledge and agree that the Service operates on, or with, or using application programming interfaces (“APIs”) and/or other services operated or provided by third parties (“Third Party Services”). Take Talent is not responsible for the operation of any Third Party Services, nor the availability or operation of the Service to the extent such availability and operation is dependent upon Third Party Services. You are solely responsible for procuring any and all rights necessary to access Third Party Services and for complying with any applicable terms or conditions thereof. Take Talent does not make any representations or warranties with respect to Third Party Services. Any exchange of data or other interaction between you and Third Party Services is solely between you and that third party, and is governed by such third party’s terms and conditions.

2. Pricing and Payment

You shall make payment for the fees as specified in the Terms. All fees are exclusive of all applicable taxes, and you agree to pay any and all taxes that you are obliged to pay by law in relation to any transaction between you and Take Talent. All payments shall be made in US dollars, unless agreed otherwise in the Terms. All payment will be due within 30 days of the date of the invoice, unless agreed otherwise in the Terms. If you do not make payment when due, in addition to our rights under Section 1, Take Talent may charge interest on the unpaid amount at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowed by law.

The Terms will specify the usage limitations applicable to your use of the Service, which may include the maximum number of authorised users and agreed bandwidth. You agree to keep a record of your usage of the Service, including the number of users. Take Talent reserves the right to monitor your actual use of the Service. Where your actual use exceeds the limitations agreed in the Terms, upon receipt of Take Talent’s invoice, you shall pay additional fees proportionate to your excess use for the remainder of the term. Any credits due to you will be applied on the next invoice against the amounts then due.

5. Your Account

You must provide us with accurate information when you create your Take Talent account. Your Take Talent account gives you access to the Service. We may maintain different types of accounts for different types of users or organizations. When you connect to Take Talent through a Third Party Service, you thereby give us permission to access and use your information from that Third Party Service (on such terms as are permitted by that service), and to store your log-in credentials for that service. You may never use another user’s Service account without permission.

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Service and for any activities or actions under your password, whether your password is with Take Talent or a Third Party Service. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols with your account. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. Take Talent cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements. You must notify Take Talent immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.

7. Confidential Information

“Confidential Information” means all information and materials obtained by a party (the “Recipient”) from the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), whether in tangible form, written or oral, that is identified as confidential or would reasonably be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and circumstances of disclosure, including without limitation any information about the business practices of either party and the Terms. Confidential Information does not include information that (a) is already known to the Recipient prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (b) is or becomes generally known through no wrongful act of the Recipient; (c) is independently developed by the Recipient without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (d) is received from a third party without restriction and without a breach of an obligation of confidentiality. The Recipient shall not use or disclose any Confidential Information without the Disclosing Party’s prior written permission, except as necessary for the provision or use of the Service. The Recipient shall protect the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own confidential information, but using not less than a reasonable degree of care. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that it is required to be disclosed pursuant to a statutory or regulatory provision or court order, provided that the Recipient provides prior notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party, unless such notice is prohibited by law, rule, regulation or court order.

These confidentiality obligations shall remain in effect for so long as the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party is retained.
