As part of the Services, we may provide you access to certain third-party data that may originate with third parties and other users (“Third-Party Data”).  All the information we provide to you through the Services that we obtain from third parties and other users is included in the term “Third-Party Data.”  Our license to you includes access to the Third-Party Data, but we do not offer any warranty or representation regarding the Third-Party Data, including its accuracy, timeliness, or completeness.  You are solely responsible to ensure that the Third-Party Data you access or use is accurate, timely, and complete.

Your use of the Services may involve the processing of information concerning you and/or your business activities, including specific information regarding your employment with your employer.  This specific information (“Your Data”) belongs to you, subject to the provisions of our Privacy Policy.      You are the exclusive owner of Your Data.     

Certain portions of the Services allow you to upload or post information to the Service.  The information that you post may or may not be intended to be made available to third parties (including, for example, employee names and pictures, payment information, reviews, and organizational roles) (“User Content”). 

You represent and warrant that, with respect to any User Content you post, (1) you have the right to post such User Content, and (2) such User Content, or its use by Company as contemplated by the Agreement, does not violate the Agreement, applicable law, or the intellectual property (including without limitation copyright), publicity, personality, or other rights of others or imply any affiliation with or endorsement of you or your User Content by Company or any entity or individual without express written consent from such individual or entity.

You grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, assignable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use User Content and Your Data for the purpose of providing you the Services, as restricted by the Privacy Policy. Any restrictions on this license do not restrict us from anonymizing Your Data and User Content in a manner that makes your identity undiscoverable by reasonable means (“Anonymized Data”).  We may use Anonymized Data in any manner we desire, in our sole and absolute discretion.

3. Interactions with Employer

You will use the Services to provide employment-related services to your employer, but the content of your relationship with your employer is entirely between you and your employer.   Company does not make any attempt to monitor or control the content of communications or other interactions between users and their employers, and you agree to hold Company harmless from any harmful conduct that may occur using the Services.

From time to time, we or others on our behalf may offer access to beta models of the Services or trials of paid subscriptions for a specified period without payment or at a reduced rate (each, a “Trial”).  We reserve the right, in our absolute discretion, to determine your eligibility for a Trial, and, subject to applicable laws, to withdraw or to modify a Trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the greatest extent permitted under the law.

For some Trials, we’ll require you to provide your payment details to start the Trial. AT THE END OF SUCH TRIALS, WE MAY AUTOMATICALLY START TO CHARGE YOU THE APPLICABLE FEES ON THE FIRST DAY FOLLOWING THE END OF THE TRIAL, ON A RECURRING MONTHLY BASIS. BY PROVIDING YOUR PAYMENT DETAILS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TRIAL, YOU AGREE TO THIS CHARGE USING SUCH PAYMENT DETAILS. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS CHARGE, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SUBSCRIPTION THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT’S SUBSCRIPTION PAGE OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE TRIAL. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED ON A RECURRING MONTHLY BASIS, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SUBSCRIPTION THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT’S SUBSCRIPTION PAGE OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE RECURRING MONTHLY PERIOD. PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS CANNOT BE TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR WHICH YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, WE WILL NOT REFUND ANY FEES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID. 

IF THE TRIAL CONSISTS OF ACCESS TO A BETA MODEL, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE BETA MODEL HAS NOT BEEN FULLY DEVELOPED AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO DEFECTS THAT WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE IN A FULLY DEVELOPED VERSION.  YOU AGREE THAT THE LICENSE GRANTED UNDER A BETA TRIAL IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY NATURE, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND MERCHANTABILITY, AS WELL AS NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY OTHER WARRANTY.  BETA USERS HAVE NO CLAIM WHATSOEVER AGAINST US FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER.
