14. Specific Terms for Use of the GlobalPros

14.1. Introduction

The GlobalPros is both a technology provider and a marketplace. As a marketplace it provides a platform to both Clients and Candidates to connect regarding relevant potential employment or contract opportunities. GlobalPros serves only as the platform provider, and any communication, hiring, or other decisions are solely those of the Client and Candidate, not GlobalPros.

14.2. Client Specific Terms

Once a Client registered for the Service, the Client will be able to browse the Candidates on the Service, communicate with these Candidates, and submit non-binding interview requests (“Interview Request(s)”). YOU UNDERSTAND THAT GLOBALPROS DOES NOT INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUNDS OF ITS USERS OR ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THE STATEMENTS OF ITS USERS. YOU AGREE TO CONDUCT ANY BACKGROUND CHECKS, REFERENCE CHECKS, OR OTHER DUE DILIGENCE THAT YOU MAY REQUIRE BEFORE ENGAGING ANY CANDIDATE.

Once a Client has discovered a Candidate on the Service, the Client agrees to submit all Interview Requests exclusively through the Service. The Client and the Candidate may use other means of communication as agreed upon between Client and Candidate after such Interview Request has been submitted. The Client agrees not to circumvent the Service by independently attempting to communicate and hire the Candidate through alternative means after discovering the Candidate on the Service.

14.3. Limited Exclusivity for Candidates

Candidates discovered on GlobalPros are exclusive Candidates of GlobalPros for a period of ninety (90) days from view date by Client on GlobalPros . Such exclusivity, for clarity, means that for any Candidate hired by Client from GlobalPros, Client will be charged GlobalPros’s then-current Success Fee for any accepted Covered Offers (defined below) (unless otherwise covered by an active Subscription Agreement) if such Covered Offer is provided to Candidate within the above noted ninety (90) day period. If a Client circumvents the Service after discovering a Candidate and subsequently hires that Candidate by means other than through GlobalPros, during or within ninety (90) days after expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Client will pay GlobalPros a Fee equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the 1st year base salary or prorated contractor compensation of the Candidate and GlobalPros may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Client's account.

14.4. Subscription Agreements for AI TalentSync Community

Clients engaged in a Subscription Agreement with GlobalPros as to their AI Talent Sync Community (individually a “Subscription Client” and collectively “Subscription Clients”) will be charged a Subscription fee as agreed upon between the Client and GlobalPros for the period as agreed upon between the parties (the “Subscription Period”). During the Subscription Period, the Subscription Client will be able to browse, request, contact through GlobalPros and extend Covered Offers to Candidates matched on GlobalPros.

If Your Subscription Agreement contains payment obligations for Covered Offers Client agrees to pay the Committed Success Fee for such Covered Offers as indicated in such Subscription Agreement. In the event of a dispute regarding Committed Success Fees, if Client can show that within the three (3) months prior to discovery on GlobalPros, Client had active back and forth communications with a Candidate regarding the relevant employment opportunity, GlobalPros may, in its sole discretion, determine if such Committed Success Fee remains due and owed. In the event You have paid a Success Fee and a Candidate is terminated or discontinues their employment or contractor engagement with You within ninety (90) days of start date, GlobalPros will provide You a credit for additional GlobalPros services corresponding to the Committed Success Fees paid for such Candidate. Any applied credit will expire twelve (12) months from date issued. YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY ANY SUCCESS FEES SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ALL ELSE, SUBSCRIPTIONS MAY NOT BE TERMINATED OR CANCELLED BY YOU PRIOR TO THEIR STATED SUBSCRIPTION END DATE (EXCEPTING ONLY MATERIAL, UNCURED BREACH BY GLOBALPROS).

14.5. Candidate Specific Terms

A Candidate is required to promptly notify GlobalPros if the Candidate: (a) accepts a Client's offer of employment, whether for an indefinite or fixed term; (b) accepts an offer to engage as a contractor, whether for an indefinite or fixed term (each, a “Contractor Engagement”); or (c) accepts a Client's employment offer during or within twelve (12) months after termination of a Contractor Engagement with such Client (each, a “Covered Offer”). You agree that: (i) if You receive a Covered Offer, You shall promptly notify GlobalPros of Your Start Date and the key terms of such Covered Offer (and notify GlobalPros promptly should that Start Date or offer terms change at any time); and (ii) You will promptly notify GlobalPros after termination of Your employment in the event that: (A) a Client terminates Your engagement based on unsatisfactory performance within ninety (90) days of the date on which Your Employment commenced; or (B) You voluntarily terminate Your engagement within ninety (90) days of the date on which Your engagement commenced.

The Candidate agrees not to attempt to circumvent the Service by independently attempting to communicate with a Client that contacted or communicated with him or her on the Service.

14.6. Contractor Engagements

14.6.1. General

Client and Candidate are responsible for any contracts or agreements they may form with respect to such Contractor Engagements. GlobalPros does not control, manage, or provide any guidance with respect to the determination of independent contractor or employee status, subsequent agreements between Client and Candidate, or services performed by or payments made to the Client pursuant to a Contractor Engagement. Candidate and Client expressly agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency agreement exists between them and GlobalPros as a result of this Agreement or any use of the GlobalPros Service, and that GlobalPros is not a joint employer for purposes of this Agreement.

14.6.2. Classification and Relationship

Client and Candidate assume all liability for proper classification of Candidates as independent contractors or employees based on applicable legal guidelines. Candidate and Client acknowledge that GlobalPros does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control the manner, means, or conditions of any work or services performed. Client and Candidate will be solely responsible for all tax returns and payments required to be filed with or made to any federal, state, or local tax authority, in any nation, with respect to a contractor engagement.

In addition to the indemnification obligations set forth herein, Client and Candidate agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend GlobalPros from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to their engagement, including but not limited to any breach of any of Contractor's representations and warranties, from the death or injury of any person or persons, including employees of Client or Contractor, or from damage or destruction of any work or properties, attributable to or resulting from Contractor Engagement with Client, claims misclassification of a Client as an independent contractor, any liabilities arising from a determination by a court, arbitrator, government agency or other body that Candidate was misclassified, any claim that GlobalPros was an employer or joint employer of Candidate, as well as breach of agreement, action, inaction, omission or any claims under any employment-related laws, such as those relating to termination of employment, employment discrimination, harassment or retaliation, as well as any claims for overtime pay, sick leave, holiday or vacation pay, minimum wages, payroll taxes, social security or unemployment taxes, or disability insurance, retirement benefits, worker’s compensation benefits, unemployment benefits, or any other employee benefits required by law.
