NOTE TO CLIENTS: IN USING THE TALENTNEURON SAAS PLATFORM AND/OR RELATED SERVICES, YOU WILL NOT BE PROVIDED ACCESS TO ANY THIRD-PARTY PERSONAL INFORMATION, NOR WILL TALENTNEURON ACCESS, COLLECT, OR PROCESS ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.
(Last updated March 2025)
These General Terms and Conditions (these “General Terms”) are between TalentNeuron, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, on behalf of itself and its affiliates (“Company”), and the client named in the Service Order (as defined below) (“Client”) that references these General Terms. These General Terms govern Client’s access to and use of the Services (as defined below). By executing a Service Order that references these General Terms, or by using any of the Services provided through such Service Order, Client agrees to comply with the Agreement (as defined below). All capitalized terms used throughout these General Terms, in Service Order or Statement of Work (as defined below), shall have the meanings ascribed to those terms below.
The parties hereby agree to the following:
- Scope. Company currently provides certain products and services that can generally be described as SaaS or Data Services. “SaaS” means Company’s provisioning of access to Company’s proprietary, hosted platform. “Data Services” means Company’s licensing of certain application programming interface(s) (“API”s) to Client. Company also provides Professional Services. “Professional Services” are the services provided by Company as set out in a Statement of Work (“SOW”). The SaaS, Data Services, Professional Services, and any other services agreed upon in a Service Order are collectively referred to herein as the “Service” or “Services.” The terms and conditions set in the body of this Agreement apply to all Services set forth in the Service Order(s) (as defined below) and/or SOW, executed between Company and Client. The supplemental terms and conditions set forth in the “Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”),” apply solely to SaaS Services included in a Service Order in which Company will be processing Personal Data (as defined in the DPA).
- Service Orders. The “Service Order” is a document executed by Client that references these General Terms and sets forth the Service(s) to be provided by Company, the Initial Term (as defined below) during which Client may access and use such Services, the fees payable by Client, and the payment terms for those fees. A Service Order shall not be effective until executed by Client. Each Service Order may also include reference to one or more Service Descriptions (as defined below), which are incorporated into the Service Order by reference. “Service Description” means that document referenced in the Service Order that further describes the Service purchased thereunder, including the service name, levels of access and deliverables for each Service, and sets forth any additional terms unique to that specific Service (and only that Service). These General Terms (including all exhibits, attachments, and appendices attached to these General Terms, the Service Order(s) and any Service Description(s) referenced therein and any SOW(s) (collectively, the “Agreement”) constitute the entire agreement between Company and Client governing the provision and use of the applicable Services. Client’s affiliated entities may also execute Service Orders, which Service Orders shall also be subject to these General Terms. Subject to Section 9 (Term and Termination), Service Orders are non-cancellable by Client. A In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any provision of these General Terms, the Service Order, a Service Description, and an SOW, the order of precedence for which controls shall be first, the Service Order, then the Service Description, the SOW, and finally these General Terms. The Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersedes any previous agreements between the parties. Any and all terms and conditions presented by Client, whether submitted in a request for proposal, purchase order, supplier portal, or similar such documents, are null and void and are hereby expressly rejected by Company. Provision of Services to Client does not constitute acceptance of any of Client’s terms and conditions and does not serve to modify or amend these General Terms.
- Changes to Services. Company reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, periodically upgrade, update, modify, or change the Services, including service names, levels of access and the deliverables. Such changes will be reflected in updated versions of the applicable Service Description. Any changes made to the Services will not materially degrade the Services set forth in the Service Description during the Term of any Service Order. If Client wishes to change the scope or performance of the Services, add new Services, or upgrade the level of service or access, it shall submit details of the requested change to Company in writing and parties will enter into an additional Service Order or amend the existing Service Order.
- Licencing and Use Restrictions.
- Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including payment of all mutually agreed-upon fees as stated in the applicable Service Order, and provided Client remains in compliance with the Agreement, Company hereby grants Client a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services during the Term of the applicable Service Order.
- Only the individuals authorized by Client and to whom access to the Services is granted, e.g. by providing a login, and/or (ii) for whom a profile is created (each a “Licensed User”) may access or use the Services. All Licensed Users must be employees or contractors of Client. Each Licensed User will be issued a unique username and password, which is for individual use only and may not be transferred, reassigned, or shared (unless specifically authorized by Company). Client accepts responsibility for all actions taken through its account credentials, and Company shall not be liable for any unauthorized access that occurs due to Client’s failure to properly monitor or secure its account credentials.
- Client shall not, nor shall it permit any third party or person using the Service on behalf of Client to, (i) use the Services to create any software, documentation or service that is similar to any Services or otherwise to compete with Company; (ii) disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer or use any other means to attempt to discover any source code of any Service (except and only to the extent that these restrictions are expressly prohibited by applicable law), or otherwise circumvent any technological measure that controls access to or security of the Services; (iii) encumber, sublicense, transfer, sell, rent, lease any Service, including making any Service available to third parties through a time-share or service bureau arrangement or using any Service in any other manner for the benefit of any third party; (iv) use or allow the transmission, transfer, export, re-export or other transfer of any product, technology or information it obtains or learns pursuant to the Agreement (or any direct product thereof) in violation of any laws or regulations of the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction; (v) alter, obscure or remove any printed or on-screen trademark, patent legend or other proprietary or legal notice in any Service; (vi) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any Service, other accounts not belonging to the Client, computer systems or networks connected to a Service, through password mining or any other means; (vii) frame or mirror any part of the Services; (viii) conduct, facilitate, authorize or permit any text or data mining, web scraping, robots, spiders or other automated data gathering and extraction tools; or (ix) interfere with another individual’s access to or use of any Service or Company’s provision of any Service, including by overloading or excessively using a Service (collectively, “Prohibited Uses”).

- Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached the Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligations thereunder (other than payment obligations), to the extent such failure or delay is caused by acts or events beyond the impacted party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation: acts of God, natural disasters, war, riots, terrorist threats or acts, public health emergency (e.g., pandemic, epidemic), or governmental actions (including travel ban) or regulations (each, a “Force Majeure Event”).
