This Master Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between RecruitBot, Inc., (“RecruitBot”)  located at 2030 Vallejo, #205, San Francisco, CA, 94123 and the customer (“Customer”) identified on the applicable order form, invoice or online purchase form (“Order Form”). The provisions of this Agreement shall govern any Order Form entered into between RecruitBot and the Customer and shall apply to Customer’s use of RecruitBot’s machine learning cloud based recruiting software application, together with any applicable updates, upgrades and enhancements that RecruitBot determines to make thereto (“Product”). 

RecruitBot and Customer agree to the following:

• Term; Termination.  Customer shall be entitled to use the Product for the Evaluation Period and the Initial Term as each are defined on the Order Form. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the effective date indicated on the Order Form and continue for the Initial Term, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section. Thereafter, unless agreed otherwise on the Order Form, this Agreement and each Order Form will renew for successive periods of one (1) year (“Renewal Term”) at RecruitBot’s then-current Fees, unless either party notifies the other of non-renewal in writing sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term (the Initial Term, together with each Renewal Term, is the “Term”). Either party may terminate this Agreement for material breach after providing written notice to the breaching party detailing such breach and, where such breach may be cured, allowing thirty (30) days opportunity for the breaching party to cure such breach.  Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Customer’s access to the Product will cease and Customer will return or destroy all Confidential Information of RecruitBot.

• Product License.  Subject to this Agreement, RecruitBot hereby grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as provided in Section 17  (Assignment)), non-sublicensable right and license to access and use the Product, solely: (i) during the Term; (ii) for the internal business use of Customer, its employees and recruiters that have a relationship with Customer (“Recruiters” and collectively, the “Authorized Users”); and (iii) in accordance with RecruitBot’s applicable user documentation provided at https://help.recruitbot.com/hc/en-us or as otherwise provided by RecruitBot from time to time (“Documentation”) and written instructions (the “License”).  Customer may purchase either a “Primary License” which provides full access to the features and functionality of the Product or a “Contributor License” which has limited access to the Product and is intended for use by a hiring manager, and certain features will not be accessible (such as limitations on the searches or emails which may be generated). Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) only Authorized Users are entitled to access the Product with unique usernames and passwords; (ii) it will ensure that each unique username and password issued to an Authorized User will be used only by that Authorized User when accessing the Product; (iii) Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all Authorized User’s unique usernames and passwords, and is solely responsible for all activities that occur under these usernames; and (iv) Customer will notify RecruitBot promptly of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of any account, username, or passwords, or any other breach or suspected breach of this Agreement.

• Fees.  In consideration for the License, Customer will pay the fees specified on the Order Form (“Fees”). Fees for additional seats added after the effective date of the Order Form will be prorated until the end of the applicable term. The Fees will be payable on the Billing Basis defined on the Order Form. Invoice(s) for the Fees shall be sent in accordance with the Billing Basis, with the first invoice sent upon the execution of the applicable Order Form. Unless specified otherwise on the Order Form, all Fees shall be due and payable within thirty (30) business days upon RecruitBot providing Customer with an invoice. Customer must transfer such funds to RecruitBot via direct deposit in accordance with wiring instructions, via ACH, or via credit card.  All payments hereunder shall be in United States dollars.  RecruitBot shall be entitled to issue a new Order Form with updated Fees with respect to any Renewal Term, provided that RecruitBot shall provide at least ninety (90) days written notice of any increased Fees prior to the commencement of the next Renewal Term in order for such increases to take effect.

• Taxes.  Customer agrees that it is responsible for any applicable sales, use and/or other taxes imposed in connection with this Agreement, including the grant of the License and Customer’s use of the Product (except for any taxes imposed on or measured by RecruitBot’s income or receipts).  If Customer determines in good faith that any amount of the License Fees is required under applicable law to be withheld or deducted in respect of any tax from any payment by Customer under this Agreement (a “Tax Withholding”), Customer shall: (i) deduct or withhold such Tax Withholding in the full amount required to be deducted or withheld pursuant to applicable law; (ii) timely pay the withheld or deduct amount to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law; (iii) promptly forward to RecruitBot a withholding tax certificate evidencing such payment by Customer to the authority; and (iv) pay to RecruitBot the stated amount payable under this Agreement (after and without reduction for any such Tax Withholding).

• Confidentiality.

   

(a) Each party (“Receiving Party”) acknowledges that it may receive from the other party (“Disclosing Party”) confidential, non-public or proprietary information relating to the Disclosing Party and its business and such confidential information includes, but is not limited to, technical, business, security, marketing and financial information, and any other information that could reasonably be considered confidential or proprietary given the nature of the information or circumstances of the disclosure (“Confidential Information”). The the Product, non-public Documentation and all information relating thereto shall be considered Confidential Information of RecruitBot.  Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than through a wrongful act of the Receiving Party; (ii) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source that is entitled to disclose it to the Receiving Party; or (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party, its employees or third party contractors without access to or use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.  

(b) During and after the Term, the Receiving Party shall: (i) not use (except for performance of this Agreement) or disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; and (ii) take no less than the same measures that it takes with its own Confidential Information, and in any case no less than reasonable measures, to maintain the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in confidence. Either party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party reasonable advance notice of such required disclosure and cooperates with the Disclosing Party so that the Disclosing Party has the opportunity to obtain appropriate confidential treatment for such Confidential Information.  

(c) All Confidential Information disclosed by Disclosing Party shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party.  The Disclosing Party reserves all rights in its Confidential Information.  Nothing in this Agreement or the disclosures envisaged by this Agreement shall (except for the limited use right above) operate to transfer, or operate as a grant of any intellectual property rights in, the Confidential Information.  

(d) If the parties have entered into a separate nondisclosure agreement, if and where the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement conflict with provisions of the nondisclosure agreement, the more restrictive of the conflicting nondisclosure terms will have precedence.
