Description of Services
3.1 The Platform

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.

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).
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.
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.
