We have the limited right to use the content just to provide you with the Service and engage in related activities.The Service may permit (i) Applicants to submit resumes, bios, Applications and other related information and (ii) Business Customer to submit job posting and other relates information (collectively, “User Submissions”).

4.GENERAL CONTENT.

You can use content on the Service only for purposes of using the Service for the purpose for which it is provided. User agrees that the Service contains information and other content specifically provided by Talentral or its partners and that such content is protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents, trade secrets or other proprietary rights and laws. Except as expressly authorized by Talentral in writing, User shall not sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit or create derivative works from such content. However, Talentral hereby grants User a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable license to reproduce and display such content (excluding any software code); provided, that User retains all copyright and other proprietary notices contained therein. Reproducing, copying or distributing any such content, including any materials or design elements on the Service, for any other purpose is strictly prohibited without the express prior written permission of Talentral.

5.FEES.

The Service is free for Applicants. Talentral charges Business Customers – as set forth in our FAQ (“Fees”). All Fees are charged on a subscription basis (“Subscription”). Business Customers may purchase various Subscription levels (please see our Plans and Services page). The Subscription level selected by Business Customer will determine the number of Job Postings it may display concurrently for a single Business Customer location (e.g. a branch or facility). Business Customer may purchase multiple Subscriptions within the same account, however Business Customer shall not upload Job Posting from multiple locations under the same Subscription. Each Subscription consists of an initial one (1) year period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring one (1) year periods with recurring charges (each initial and recurring period, a “Subscription Period”). Each Subscription allows Business Customer to (a) post Job Postings on the Service, (b) select Applicants for such positions, and (c) to review selected Applications. Each time Business Customer hires an Applicant (“Hired Applicant”) it shall promptly “tag” the Applicant as hired in Business Customer’s Service account. During a Subscription Period, Business Customer may upgrade to a higher level Subscription by paying the difference between the original Subscription level and the new Subscription level for the remainder of such Subscription Period. Business Customer shall pay Talentral for each Subscription in advance of the applicable Subscription Period. All payments are non-refundable and all Subscriptions are non-cancellable during the Subscription Period for such Subscription. Business Customer accepts responsibility for all recurring charges that occur prior to cancellation of a Subscription. Talentral uses a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to bill Business Customer through a payment account linked to Business Customer’s Subscription on the Service (“Billing Account”). Business Customer shall pay all amounts due under this Agreement, through the Payment Processor. Business Customer authorizes Talentral, through the Payment Processor, to charge Business Customer’s chosen payment provider (“Payment Method”). Talentral reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. The terms of Business Customer’s payment will be based on its Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between Business Customer and the payment provider of the chosen Payment Method. Unless Business Customer opts out of auto-renewal, which must be done through Business Customer’s Service account settings at least fifteen (15) days before the then-current Subscription Period ends, all Subscriptions will be automatically extended for successive periods of one (1) year. If Business Customer terminates a Subscription, Business Customer may use the Subscription until the end of the then-current Subscription Period. Business Customer’s continued use of a Subscription constitutes confirmation that Talentral is authorized to charge Business Customer’s Payment Method for that Subscription. Business Customer’s charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially selected a Subscription. TALENTRAL MAY SUBMIT RECURRING CHARGES (E.G., YEARLY) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM BUSINESS CUSTOMER, UNTIL BUSINESS CUSTOMER PROVIDES PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY TALENTRAL) THAT BUSINESS CUSTOMER HAS TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISHES TO CHANGE ITS PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE TALENTRAL REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE BUSINESS CUSTOMER’S SUBSCRIPTION(S) OR CHANGE BUSINESS CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT METHOD, GO TO BUSINESS CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT SETTINGS PAGE. Business Customer shall provide current, complete and accurate information for its Billing Account. Business Customer must promptly update all information to keep its Billing Account current, complete and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date), and Business Customer must promptly notify Talentral and its Payment Processor if the Payment Method is canceled or if Business Customer becomes aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of Business Customer’s user name or password. Changes to Business Customer’s Billing Account can be made at Business Customer’s account settings. If Business Customer fails to provide any of the foregoing information, Business Customer agrees that Talentral may continue charging for any use of Subscriptions under the Billing Account. Talentral has the right to verify Business Customer’s Payment Method prior to the end of a Subscription Period. If Business Customer’s Payment Method is no longer valid or rejected, Talentral shall notify Business Customer and Business Customer shall update its Billing Account and Payment Method at least thirty (30) days before the end of a Subscription Period; Business Customer’s failure to comply with the foregoing shall result in the immediate termination of the applicable Subscription. Business Customer may reinstate such terminated Subscription at Talentral’s sole discretion subject to additional fees. Any free trial or other promotion that provides access to a Subscription must be used within the specified time of the trial. Business Customer must stop using a Subscription before the end of the trial period in order to avoid being charged for that Subscription. If Business Customer cancels prior to the end of the trial period and is inadvertently charged for a Subscription, please contact Talentral at accounts@talentral.com. As between the parties, Business Customer is responsible for withholding, filing, paying and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with its activity in connection with the Service. Unpaid Fees are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all costs and expenses of collection. Please check our FAQ regularly for updates/changes to any Fees or payment methods.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” To the extent Talentral assists in the resolution of any dispute between any Applicant and any Business Customer, such assistance is only a courtesy and, therefore, User acknowledges that Talentral shall not be responsible or liable for such assistance or the results thereof.
