These Terms of Service are a binding legal agreement (the “Agreement”) between Zlayt, Inc., a Texas corporation doing business as RecruitIQ (“RecruitIQ”) and the Customer (defined herein). Please read this Agreement carefully before submitting an Order. By submitting an Order, Customer agrees to be legally bound by the terms of this Agreement. The Agreement is effective as of the date that a representative of the Customer either (i) “checks the box” in an online Order or (ii) signs a written Order, in each case acknowledging that it has read, understands, and agrees to the terms of this Agreement and submits the Order (the “Effective Date”).

The Parties agree as follows:

Only Customer’s employees and contractors may access and use the Subscribed Services, and only so long as they are accessing it on Customer’s behalf. Customer agrees to be fully responsible under this Agreement for any and all actions of its employees and contractors that access the Subscribed Services. Customer’s own customers and applicants may not use the Subscribed Services.

4.3. Automatic Renewal. Each Order will automatically renew for successive renewal periods equal to the original Subscription Period (e.g. a monthly Subscription Period shall renew on a month-to-month basis and an annual Subscription Period shall renew on an annual basis), unless one party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Period.

Termination of an Order will not result in the automatic termination of this Agreement or any other Order.

6.3. Artificial Intelligence. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Service and its Output (including Deliverables) may rely on, and in some cases be exclusively generated by, Artificial Intelligence, which by its nature, has known limitations that can result among other things in Output that (a) contains errors and misleading information, (b) is repetitive or formulaic, (c) features information that is out of context or does not make sense, (d) lacks appropriate empathy and emotion for its intended use, (e) reflects biases that are present in the training data, which can result in Output that is discriminatory or offensive, (f) reflects incorrect assumptions and bad judgment.

Neither Party will use the other’s Confidential Information except as permitted under this Agreement. Each Party agrees to take commercially reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of the other’s non-anonymized Confidential Information, including, without limitation, disclosing Confidential Information only to Representatives and Affiliates of such Party in connection with the services they perform for such Party, provided they are subject to confidentiality provisions sufficient to comply with this provision. Each party will be responsible for the acts and omissions of its Representatives and Affiliates pursuant to this section. Nothing in this section will restrict either Party from disclosing Confidential Information of the other pursuant to the valid order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, provided that the party required to make the disclosure gives reasonable notice to the other Party to enable it to contest the order or requirement.

10. INDEMNIFICATION.

10.1. RecruitIQ Indemnification. RecruitIQ will defend Customer against any claim, demand, suit, or proceeding (“Claim”) made or brought against Customer by a third party alleging that the Service or use thereof as permitted hereunder infringes or misappropriates a United States patent, copyright or trade secret and will indemnify Customer for any damages finally awarded against Customer (or any settlement approved by RecruitIQ) in connection with any such Claim; provided that (a) Customer will promptly notify RecruitIQ of such Claim, (b) RecruitIQ will have the sole and exclusive authority to defend and/or settle any such Claim (provided that RecruitIQ may not settle any Claim without Customer’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, unless it unconditionally releases Customer of all related liability) and (c) Customer reasonably cooperates with RecruitIQ (at RecruitIQ’s expense) in connection therewith. If the use of the Service by Customer, as applicable, has become, or in RecruitIQ’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of any claim of infringement, RecruitIQ may at its option and expense (i) procure for Customer the right to continue such use as set forth hereunder; (ii) replace or modify such use to make it non-infringing (with comparable functionality); or (iii) if the options in clauses (i) or (ii) are not reasonably practicable, terminate the affected portion of the applicable Order and provide a pro rata refund of any prepaid fees corresponding to the terminated portion of the applicable Order.

This Section states RecruitIQ’s sole and exclusive liability and obligation, and Customer’s exclusive remedy, for any claim of any nature related to infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property.

10.2. Customer Indemnification. Customer will indemnify, defend and hold RecruitIQ and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all Claims brought against them by a third party arising from or relating to (a) the Excluded Claims, or (b) Customer’s violation of any third party’s rights, including without limitation any act or omission of Customer that causes RecruitIQ to violate any third party’s rights; or (c) any material violation of the terms of this Agreement or applicable Order.

10.3. Indemnification Cap. Such indemnification obligations as described in this Section 10 (Indemnification) will not be subject to the limits described in Section 9 (Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability) of this Agreement.

11. MODIFICATIONS.

Any such waiver will be only to the specific provision and under the specific circumstances for which it was given and will not apply with respect to any repeated or continued violation of the same provision or any other provision. Failure or delay by either Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

RecruitIQ may use third party contractors to perform its obligations under this Agreement, provided that their acts and omissions in connection with this Agreement will be imputed to RecruitIQ. The Parties agree that nothing in this Agreement will be construed as preventing either RecruitIQ or Customer from entering into a similar relationship with third parties. If a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator finds any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, that provision of the Agreement will be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the intent of the Parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. All communications provided for hereunder will be in writing. Neither Party hereto may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other Party’s prior written consent, except that either Party may assign this Agreement without consent to a successor to all or substantially all of its assets or business related to this Agreement. Any attempted assignment, delegation, or transfer by either Party in violation hereof will be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding on the Parties and their successors and assigns.

13. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE.

The validity, interpretation, enforceability, and performance of this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Texas, without giving effect to its law regarding the conflict of laws. Any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought solely and exclusively (to the maximum extent permitted by law) in the Federal or State district courts located in Travis County, Texas.

15. FORCE MAJEURE.

Neither Party will be deemed in breach hereunder for any cessation, interruption or delay in the performance of its obligations due to causes beyond its reasonable control (“Force Majeure Event”), including earthquake, flood, or other natural disaster, act of God, labor controversy, civil disturbance, terrorism, war (whether or not officially declared), cyber-attacks (e.g., denial of service attacks), or the inability to obtain sufficient supplies, transportation, or other essential commodity or service required in the conduct of its business, or any change in or the adoption of any law, regulation, judgment or decree.
