job opportunities and search for and evaluate job candidates,(ii) candidates to post resumes and
Profiles (as defined below) and search for and evaluate job opportunities, and (iii) employees to
fill out Onboarding Materials (as defined below) as part of their employment onboarding

b. Job Seekers. When you register with the Service, you will be asked to submit information to

Profile information or Onboarding Materials that you submit or provide to GetHired must be

questionnaires will be marked as deleted in, and may be deleted from, GetHired's databases and
will be removed from any public area of the Service. Information may continue to be available
for some period of time because of delays in propagating such deletion through GetHired’s web
servers. In addition, third parties may retain saved copies of your information. For example,
when you submit Onboarding Materials as part of the GetHired Onboarding feature, your
employer may retain copies of your Onboarding Materials in accordance with applicable law.
GetHired reserves the right to delete your Account and all of your information after a significant
duration of inactivity, in GetHired’s sole discretion.
c. Employers. Employers are solely responsible for their postings on the Service. GetHired is
not to be considered to be an employer with respect to your use of any aspect of the Service and
GetHired shall not be responsible for any employment decisions, for whatever reason, made by
any entity posting jobs on the Service. In addition, employers are solely responsible for any
Onboarding Materials that they upload to the Service, as well as any Onboarding Materials that
are submitted to them by their employees via the Service. If you are an employer, you represent
and warrant that you shall at all times and at your own expense: (i) strictly comply with all
applicable laws, rules, regulations and governmental orders, now or hereafter in effect, relating
to your use of the Service, including any aspect or feature thereof; (ii) pay all fees and other
charges required by such laws, rules, regulations and orders; and (iii) maintain in full force and
effect all licenses, permits, authorizations, registrations and qualifications from all applicable
governmental departments and agencies relating to your use of the Service, including any aspect
or feature thereof. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GetHired or GetHired’s partners
(as identified in an applicable registration form you execute with such partner during the
registration process (“Registration Form”) and its affiliates and their directors, officers, and
employees from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, taxes, fines, costs and
expenses, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, arising directly or indirectly from or
in connection with your use of the Service, including but not limited to any claim or action
brought by any governmental, state, or local agencies or arising from any failure by you to
comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. You understand and acknowledge that if
you cancel your employer Account, or your employer Account is terminated, all your account
information from GetHired, including saved resumes, prospective employee contacts,
Onboarding Materials, and email mailing lists, will be marked as deleted in, and may be deleted
from, GetHired's databases. Information may continue to be available for some period of time
because of delays in propagating such deletion through GetHired’s web servers. In order to
5
protect our other Users from commercial advertising or solicitation, GetHired reserves the right
to restrict the number of e- mails which an employer may send to Users to a number which
GetHired deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
6. Special Terms for Employers Regarding Use of Time and Attendance Platform.
a. No Employer/Employee or Joint Employer/Employee Relationship. You acknowledge and
agree that your use of any aspect of the Service does not create an employer/employee or joint
employer/employee relationship between you and GetHired or your employees and GetHired.
You acknowledge and agree that GetHired exercises no material control over the terms and
conditions or circumstances of your employees’ work. You acknowledge and agree that GetHired
makes no recommendations or determinations as to your employees employment status,
classifications, rates of pay, or hours worked, and you acknowledge and agree that any such
determinations shall be made based on your own knowledge and understanding of all applicable
laws, rules, regulations, and governmental orders.
b. No Warranty with Respect to Data or Platform. GetHired makes no warranties or
representations as to the accuracy, completeness, or legal compliance of any data entered into
its Time and Attendance platform by users, employers, employees, or anyone else with access
to the platform. GetHired does not and will not modify time card data and therefore is not
responsible for the accuracy of any time card data. The employer, in its capacity as the
administrator of the Account and/or its officers and managers, are responsible for the
accuracy of all time-card data. It is your responsibility to download all pay periods on a timely
basis so you have a record of the time cards.
c. Deletion of employees. GetHired does not and will not delete any of your employees and
therefore is not responsible for the loss of any time card data that occurs when an employee is
deleted. When an employee is deleted, they are put into a special inactive category but they
are not deleted permanently and the data will be retained. The deleted employee's time cards
are still available and can still be viewed in the time cards section. You do not have to restore
the employee to see previous time card data. Deleted employees will remain in the special
inactive category until you decide to restore them. You can restore the employee any time you
want to re- instate the employee with your company and their employee record will be
restored. If you restore the employee and then delete them again you may be charged for that
employee during the next billing cycle as if they are still in your employee list for that billing
cycle, so do not restore them unless you are re-instating them with your company. Deleted
employees need to be deleted for 20 days in order to not be billed for them. This prevents
anyone from deleting employees before the billing date and then re-instating them after the
billing was done so as to avoid paying for them if you are being billed on a per employee per
month basis.
d. Compliance with Laws. You acknowledge and agree that there are laws, rules, regulations,
and governmental orders with which you must comply in connection with your use of the
platform and your employment of employees. You further acknowledge and agree that GetHired
and its parent and affiliated companies, and each of their respective directors, officers,
employees, contractors, agents, and each of their respective third-party suppliers, licensors, and
partners, are not responsible for your compliance with laws, rules, regulations, and
governmental orders associated with your use of the Service and Time and Attendance platform
and your employment of employees. You represent and warrant that you shall at all times and
6
at your own expense: (i) strictly comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and
governmental orders, now or hereafter in effect, relating to your use of the platform, the Service
and Time and Attendance Platform, including any aspect or feature thereof, and to your
employment of employees; (ii) pay all fees and other charges required by such laws, rules,
regulations and orders; and (iii) maintain in full force and effect all licenses, permits,
authorizations, registrations and qualifications from all applicable governmental departments
and agencies relating to your use of the Service, including any aspect or feature thereof. You
acknowledge and agree that GetHired and its partners have no duty to inform you of any of your
legal or regulatory obligations in using the Service and that GetHired and GetHired’s partners
will never, in any way, provide solicited or unsolicited legal advice to you.

times. You also represent and warrant that all Personal Information Processed by you has been

and cooperate with, law enforcement authorities in prosecuting Users who are involved in

any such taxes that may be imposed on your use of the Service.
b. Changes in Fees. GetHired may from time to time, and in its sole discretion, change,

Form) may seek pre- authorization of your credit card account prior to a purchase to verify the

is released or reconciled with the actual charge. Please contact your credit card issuer if you have
additional questions regarding when an authorization amount will be removed from your
statement. If you revoke authorization to charge your Payment Account, or if for any reason
your Payment Account does not pay GetHired, GetHired may suspend your access to certain

EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE
LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE,
RELIANCE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY UNSUCCESSFUL COURT ACTION OR LEGAL
DISPUTE, LOST BUSINESS, LOST REVENUES, OR LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR
ANY OTHER PECUNIARY OR NON- PECUNIARY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY NATURE
WHATSOEVER) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TERMS OR THAT RESULT
FROM YOUR USE OF OR YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE OR ANY REFERENCE
SITES, OR ANY OTHER INTERACTIONS WITH GETHIRED, EVEN IF GETHIRED OR A
GETHIRED AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE
LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
IN SUCH CASES, GETHIRED’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
b. Limitation of Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL GETHIRED’S OR ITS AFFILIATES’,
CONTRACTORS’, EMPLOYEES’, AGENTS’, OR THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS’, LICENSORS’,
OR SUPPLIERS’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES
OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE

EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY

AND JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
20. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration.
a. Dispute Resolution. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and GetHired in the
most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and GetHired agree that any and all disputes
arising in connection with the Terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more
informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury,
may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by
courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement
to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect
of the Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal
theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms.
You understand and agree that, by entering into the Terms, you and GetHired are each waiving
the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
b. Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsection (a), we both agree that nothing herein shall be
deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action
in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local
agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file
suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
c. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and GetHired will be governed by the Commercial
Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related
Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as
modified by the Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms
are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting
GetHired.
d. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the
dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that
we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). GetHired’s
address for Notice is: GetHired, Inc., 540 University Ave, Suite #50, Palo Alto, CA 94301. The
Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific
relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we
do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or GetHired
may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement
offer made by you or GetHired shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator
makes a final decision and award, if any; provided that if our dispute is finally resolved through
arbitration in your favor, GetHired shall pay you the greater of (i) the amount awarded by the
arbitrator, if any, and (ii) the greatest amount offered by GetHired in settlement of the dispute
prior to the arbitrator’s award.
17
e. Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with the Terms, GetHired will
reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $5,000, in
which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings
will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Santa Clara County, California, provided that if
the claim is for $5,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on
the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic
hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that
either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an
improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to
reimburse GetHired for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to
pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the
arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and
conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings
and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during
the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling
on the merits.
f. No Class Actions. YOU AND GETHIRED AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS
AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A
PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE
PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and GetHired agree otherwise, the arbitrator may
not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any
form of a representative or class proceeding.
g. Modifications. In the event that GetHired makes any future change to this arbitration
provision (other than a change to the GetHired’s address for Notice), you may reject any such
change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to GetHired’s address for
Notice, in which case your account with GetHired shall be immediately terminated and this
arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject shall
survive.
h. Enforceability. If any of this Section or the entirety of this Section is found to be
unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section shall be null and void and, in such case, the
parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in the “Miscellaneous
Section, below, shall govern any action arising out of or related to the Terms.
21. Miscellaneous.
a. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The Terms will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of
conflicts of law. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to the
Terms or Service will be filed only in the state or federal courts in and for Santa Clara County,
California, and you hereby consent and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such
courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. Notwithstanding this, either party shall still
be allowed to apply for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect or enforce that party’s
intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction where the other party resides
or has its principal place of business.
18
b. Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against GetHired must be resolved in
accordance with this Agreement. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Agreement shall be
considered improperly filed. Should either party file a claim contrary to this Agreement, the
other party may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to one thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,000.00
USD), provided that such party seeking such fees has notified the other in writing of the
improperly filed claim, and the other has failed to promptly withdraw the claim.
c. Claims. YOU AND GETHIRED AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR
AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS
PERMANENTLY BARRED.
d. Notice. GetHired may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the
Terms, by email or by postings on the Service. Notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours
after email is sent, unless GetHired is notified that the email address is invalid. Alternatively, we
may give you legal notice by mail to a postal address, if provided by you through the Service. In
such case, notice will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing. Notice posted on the
Service is deemed given 30 days following the initial posting.
e. Waiver. The failure of GetHired to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms
will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of the
Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by GetHired.
f. Severability. If any provision of the Terms or any Guidelines is held to be unlawful, void,
or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated from the
Terms to the minimum extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of
any remaining provisions.
g. Assignment. The Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be
transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by GetHired without restriction. Any
assignment attempted to be made in violation of the Terms shall be void.
h. Headings. The heading references herein are for convenience purposes only, do not
constitute a part of the Terms, and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
i. Entire Agreement. The Terms, including without limitation the Privacy Policy (Notice),
constitute the entire agreement between you and GetHired relating to the subject matter herein
and may not be modified except in writing, signed by both parties, or by a change to the Terms
or Privacy Policy (Notice) made by GetHired as set forth in Section 3 above.
