Description of Services

3.1 The Platform

Recruiter Machine provides a cloud-based recruiting management platform that enables customers to manage candidate pipelines, automate recruiting workflows, schedule interviews, track performance metrics, communicate with candidates via SMS and email, generate client reports, and access associated analytics. The specific features available to you depend on your Subscription Plan.

3.2 Onboarding and Implementation Services

All plans above Blueprint include onboarding services consisting of kickoff calls, platform configuration sessions, sequence setup, and training. Team plans include additional role-specific training sessions. Implementation services are included in Subscription Fees unless a separate implementation fee is specified in your Subscription Agreement for custom or enterprise implementations.

3.3 Underlying Infrastructure

The Platform is built in part on GoHighLevel infrastructure. Customers interact with a configured recruiting system and are not required to have knowledge of or access to the underlying GoHighLevel platform. Recruiter Machine is responsible for maintaining and configuring the infrastructure to provide the Services.

3.4 Modifications to Services

Recruiter Machine may modify, update, or discontinue features or functionality of the Services at any time. We will provide reasonable advance notice of material changes that significantly reduce functionality included in your Subscription Plan. We reserve the right to add, modify, or remove features without notice when the change does not materially reduce your contracted functionality.

3.5 Beta Features

We may make certain features available on a beta or early-access basis. Beta features are provided “as is” without warranty and may be discontinued at any time. Your use of beta features is at your own risk, and we are not obligated to offer beta features as generally available functionality.

Account Registration and Requirements

4.1 Eligibility

The Services are available only to businesses and individuals who are at least 18 years of age and can lawfully enter into binding contracts. By creating an Account, you represent that you meet these requirements.

4.2 Account Information

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during account registration and to keep this information updated. Inaccurate information may result in account suspension or termination.

  • Not share your login credentials with anyone outside of your organization’s authorized Users

Recruiter Machine is not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of your Account credentials where such use results from your failure to safeguard your credentials.

4.4 Seat Limits

Your Subscription Plan specifies the maximum number of Users (“seats”) permitted under your Account. Each seat must be assigned to a unique individual User. You may not share a single seat credential among multiple individuals. If your team exceeds your plan’s seat limit, you must purchase additional seats at the per-seat rate specified in your Subscription Agreement.

4.5 Account Administration

You may designate one or more Users as Account Administrators with authority to configure settings, manage Users, and make changes to your subscription. You are responsible for all actions taken by your Account Administrators.

Subscription Plans and Payment

5.1 Subscription Plans and Fees

Access to the Platform requires a paid Subscription Plan. Available plans, features, and current pricing are published at recruitermachine.com/pricing and detailed in your Subscription Agreement. We offer monthly, annual, and two-year subscription terms. By subscribing, you agree to pay all Fees associated with your selected plan and term.

5.2 Billing and Payment

Fees are billed in advance at the beginning of each billing period (monthly, annually, or per the term specified in your Subscription Agreement). Payment is processed by our payment processor, Stripe, Inc. By providing payment information, you authorize Recruiter Machine (through Stripe) to charge your payment method for all applicable Fees. All Fees are quoted and payable in U.S. dollars.

5.3 Automatic Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. Monthly plans renew monthly. Annual plans renew annually. For annual and multi-year plans, we will send a renewal reminder at least 30 days before the renewal date. It is your responsibility to cancel before renewal if you do not wish to continue.

5.4 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change Subscription Fees upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice. Price changes will take effect at your next renewal date following the notice period. Annual and multi-year plans are price-locked for the committed term; price changes only apply at renewal. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel your subscription before the new pricing takes effect.

5.5 Taxes

All Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, including but not limited to sales tax, use tax, value-added tax (VAT), and goods and services tax (GST). You are responsible for paying all such taxes applicable to your purchases. If Recruiter Machine is required to collect taxes on your behalf, they will be added to your invoice.

5.6 Late Payment

If your payment method is declined or Fees are not received by the due date, we may suspend access to the Services with notice. Fees that remain unpaid for more than 15 days after the due date may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. You are responsible for all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

5.7 Fee Disputes

If you dispute any charge, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the invoice date. Disputes submitted after 30 days will not be considered. We will work in good faith to resolve legitimate disputes. Undisputed portions of invoices must be paid by the due date regardless of any pending dispute.

5.8 Annual and Multi-Year Terms

Annual subscriptions are paid upfront and receive the equivalent of two months free compared to the monthly rate. Two-year subscriptions are paid upfront and receive the equivalent of four months free. The per-month rate for annual and multi-year plans is locked for the duration of the committed term. Early termination of annual or multi-year plans is subject to the early termination fee set forth in Section 17.3.

5.9 Extra Seats and Add-Ons

Additional seats beyond your plan’s included seat count are billed at the per-seat rates specified in your Subscription Agreement. Seats added mid-billing-cycle are prorated. Add-on services (such as additional implementation support, custom workflow builds, or API overages) are billed as specified in your Subscription Agreement or an applicable Order Form.

5.10 Non-Refundable Fees

Except as expressly provided in Section 6 (Free Trials and Money-Back Guarantee) and the Subscription Agreement, all Fees are non-refundable. No refunds or credits are issued for partial periods, unused features, or early cancellations of monthly subscriptions.

12.2 Third-Party Account Requirements

You are responsible for having valid accounts and appropriate permissions with any third-party services you connect to the Platform.

Third-party platforms may change, restrict, or discontinue their APIs or integration capabilities at any time.

The Platform is built in part on GoHighLevel’s infrastructure. Recruiter Machine’s agreement with GoHighLevel governs the underlying platform availability. While we endeavor to maintain service continuity, we are subject to GoHighLevel’s platform terms, pricing, and availability.

13.2 Consent Requirements

Before initiating automated SMS communications to any candidate, you must have obtained appropriate prior express written consent from that candidate as required by the TCPA and applicable regulations. Recruiter Machine provides the technical infrastructure for messaging but does not verify or guarantee the adequacy of your consent collection practices.

13.3 A2P 10DLC Registration

As part of account setup, Recruiter Machine registers your brand and messaging campaigns under the A2P 10DLC framework on your behalf using information you provide.

Providing false or misleading registration information may result in message deliverability issues or account suspension.

13.4 Opt-Out Compliance

The Platform automatically processes opt-out requests from candidates who reply with STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, or similar keywords. You agree not to re-add opted-out candidates to active messaging sequences without obtaining new consent as required by law.

  • Your violation of any applicable law or regulation, including the TCPA, CAN-SPAM, or any employment anti-discrimination law

  • Disputes between you and any candidate, client, or third party arising from your recruiting activities conducted through the Platform

17.2 Indemnification Procedure

Recruiter Machine will: (a) promptly notify you of any claim for which it seeks indemnification (failure to give prompt notice will not relieve you of indemnification obligations except to the extent you are materially prejudiced by the delay); (b) give you reasonable control over the defense and settlement of the claim; and (c) provide reasonable cooperation, at your expense, in connection with the defense of the claim. Recruiter Machine may, at its own expense, participate in the defense of any claim with counsel of its own choosing. You may not settle any claim that imposes obligations, restrictions, or admissions on Recruiter Machine without Recruiter Machine’s prior written consent.

Term and Termination

18.1 Term

These Terms begin on the Effective Date and continue until your subscription expires or is terminated as provided herein.

18.2 Cancellation by Customer

Monthly plans: You may cancel your monthly subscription at any time by submitting a cancellation request through your account settings or by contacting [email protected]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are issued for the remaining days of the current billing period.

Annual and multi-year plans: You may cancel an annual or multi-year plan at any time, subject to the early termination fee described in Section 18.4. Cancellations must be submitted in writing to [email protected] at least 30 days before the intended termination date.

18.3 Termination by Recruiter Machine for Cause

Recruiter Machine may terminate or suspend your Account immediately upon written notice if:

  • You breach any provision of these Terms and fail to cure such breach within 10 days of written notice (or immediately, without cure period, for breaches of Section 7 (Acceptable Use) or Section 13 (SMS Compliance))
  • You fail to pay any Fees when due and such failure continues for 15 days after notice
  • You become the subject of a bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar proceeding
  • Recruiter Machine is required to do so by applicable law or court order
  • Continued provision of Services to you creates material legal, regulatory, or reputational risk to Recruiter Machine

18.4 Early Termination Fee

If you terminate an annual or multi-year plan before the end of the committed term (other than for Recruiter Machine’s uncured material breach), an early termination fee is due. The early termination fee is equal to 50% of the remaining Fees that would have been due for the remainder of the committed term, calculated based on the contracted monthly rate. The applicable early termination fee will be specified in your Subscription Agreement.

18.5 Effect of Termination

Upon termination or expiration of your subscription:

  • Your license to use the Services terminates immediately (or at the end of the billing period for non-cause cancellations)
  • You have 30 days from the termination date to export your Candidate Data and Customer Content
  • After the 30-day export window, Recruiter Machine will delete your data in accordance with Section 9.7
  • All outstanding Fees become immediately due and payable
  • You must cease all use of the Platform and destroy any copies of Documentation in your possession

Termination does not limit Recruiter Machine’s right to pursue any other remedy available at law or equity.

18.6 Survival

The following provisions survive termination or expiration of these Terms: Sections 2 (Definitions), 8 (Intellectual Property), 9.7 (Data Return), 10 (Confidentiality), 15 (Disclaimers), 16 (Limitation of Liability), 17 (Indemnification), 18.5 (Effect of Termination), 19 (Governing Law), and 20 (General Provisions).

19

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

19.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

19.2 Informal Dispute Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (“Dispute”) through good-faith negotiation. Either party may initiate informal dispute resolution by sending written notice to the other party describing the Dispute in reasonable detail. The parties will have 30 days from the receipt of the notice to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days, either party may proceed to formal dispute resolution.

19.3 Binding Arbitration

SUBJECT TO SECTION 19.5 (EXCEPTIONS), ANY DISPUTE THAT IS NOT RESOLVED THROUGH INFORMAL NEGOTIATION WILL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) UNDER ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES. The arbitration will be conducted in English and will take place in Utah County, Utah, or remotely if agreed by the parties. The arbitrator’s award will be in writing and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

19.4 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND RECRUITER MACHINE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any class or representative proceeding.

19.5 Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for:

  • Any claim involving Intellectual Property Rights (including claims for infringement, misappropriation, or breach of confidentiality regarding trade secrets)
  • Injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent imminent and irreparable harm pending arbitration
  • Claims that may be brought in small claims court (for claims within the jurisdictional limits)

19.6 Jurisdiction for Court Proceedings

For any claims or proceedings not subject to arbitration under Section 19.5, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in Utah County, Utah, and waive any objection to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by or venue in such courts.

19.7 Time Limitation

Any claim or Dispute arising under these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or it will be forever barred. This time limitation does not apply to claims for non-payment of Fees owed to Recruiter Machine.

20

General Provisions

20.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Subscription Agreement, Privacy Policy, and any other agreements or policies incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Recruiter Machine with respect to the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and representations, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

20.2 Amendments

Recruiter Machine reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated by posting the revised Terms on our website and, for customers with active subscriptions, by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Non-material clarifications or corrections may be made at any time without advance notice. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you may terminate your subscription pursuant to Section 18.

20.3 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from these Terms. The invalidity of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

20.4 Waiver

No failure or delay by either party to exercise any right or remedy under these Terms will constitute a waiver of that right or remedy. A waiver of any breach or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.

20.5 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without Recruiter Machine’s prior written consent. Recruiter Machine may assign these Terms without your consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or operation of law. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section is void. These Terms are binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

20.6 Force Majeure

Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, earthquakes, epidemics, pandemics, power outages, internet service failures, or other events beyond the affected party’s reasonable control (“Force Majeure Events”). The affected party will give prompt notice of the Force Majeure Event and will use reasonable efforts to mitigate its effects. If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than 30 days, either party may terminate the affected Services upon written notice.

20.7 Relationship of the Parties

The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or franchise relationship between the parties. Neither party has the authority to bind the other or to incur any obligation on the other’s behalf.

20.8 Notices

All notices under these Terms must be in writing and will be deemed delivered when: (a) sent by email to the address specified in your account (for notices to you from us); (b) sent by email to [email protected] (for notices from you to us); or (c) sent by overnight courier or certified mail to Recruiter Machine LLC, Orem, Utah, with confirmation of delivery. Notices to you are effective when sent to the email address associated with your Account.

20.9 Changes to Plans and Pricing

Recruiter Machine reserves the right to introduce new subscription plans, modify existing plans, or discontinue existing plans with reasonable advance notice. Plan feature additions will generally be provided without additional charge at the same plan tier. Feature removals from existing plans will be communicated with at least 30 days’ advance notice, during which period you may terminate your subscription without an early termination fee if the removed features are material to your use.

20.10 English Language Controls

These Terms are written in English. If these Terms are translated into any other language, the English version controls in the event of any conflict between the English version and any translation.
