You agree that ReadyFly will not be responsible for any liability incurred as the result of such interactions. While ReadyFly may, in ReadyFly’s sole discretion, help facilitate the resolution of disputes, ReadyFly does not guarantee the Recruiter Services; the truth or accuracy of Your content or listings; Your ability to procure Services. ReadyFly reserves the right to refer any matter to, and to cooperate with, any and all applicable legal authorities if ReadyFly believes that any criminal activity has occurred.

7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
7.1 Confidentiality. ReadyFly and You each agree as follows: (a) to use information received from the other party that would be reasonably understood to be confidential or proprietary (“Confidential Information”) disclosed by the other party only for the purposes expressly permitted herein; (b) that such party will not reproduce Confidential Information disclosed by the other party, and will hold in confidence and protect such Confidential Information from dissemination to, and use by, any third party; (c) that neither party will create any derivative work from Confidential Information disclosed to such party by the other party; (d) to restrict access to the Confidential Information disclosed by the other party to such of its personnel, agents, and/or consultants, who have a need to have access and who have been advised of, and have agreed in writing to treat such information in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement; and (e) to the extent practicable, return or destroy all Confidential Information disclosed by the other party that is in its possession upon termination or expiration of this Agreement. Both parties agree that all items of Confidential Information are proprietary to the disclosing party, and as between the parties, will remain the sole property of the disclosing party.
7.2 Confidentiality Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 8.1 will not apply to Confidential Information that (a) is publicly available or in the public domain at the time disclosed; (b) is or becomes publicly available or enters the public domain through no fault of the recipient; (c) is rightfully communicated to the recipient by persons not bound by confidentiality obligations with respect thereto; (d) is already rightfully in the recipient’s possession free of any confidentiality obligations with respect thereto at the time of disclosure; (e) is independently developed by the recipient without use of or reference to the other party’s Confidential Information; or (f) is approved for release or disclosure by the disclosing party without restriction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (i) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other party (to the extent legally permitted) and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or (ii) to establish a party’s rights under this Agreement, including to make such court filings as it may be required to do.
8. NON-CIRCUMVENTION.
8.1 Restriction. For the term of this Agreement (the “Non-Circumvention Period”), You shall not, and shall not permit any of Your employees, contractors, agents, or other service providers to, solicit any recruiting services from any Recruiter You were introduced to through ReadyFly, the Platform, or the Recruiter Services. For the avoidance of doubt, if You were not initially introduced to another party by ReadyFly, e.g. if You and a Recruiter worked together before being introduced, then the Non-Circumvention Period does not apply with respect to You and such Employer other than for the specific Open Roles(s) posted on the Platform (i.e. You cannot transact with a Recruiter outside of the Platform and without ReadyFly). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, You agree not to (a) solicit or submit proposals to parties identified through the Platform or ReadyFly to contract, hire, work with, or pay outside of the Recruiter Services, Platform, or ReadyFly; (b) accept proposals or solicit parties identified through the Platform or ReadyFly to contract, invoice, or receive payment outside the Recruiter Services or ReadyFly; or (c) refer any party identified on the Platform or through ReadyFlyto a third-party for any purpose related to or competitive with the Services. You shall notify ReadyFly immediately upon becoming aware of a breach or potential breach of this non-circumvention provision. If You receive the Services as an employee, agent, or representative of another business, then the Non-Circumvention Period applies to You and other employees, agents, or representatives of the business when acting in that capacity.
8.2 Network Fee. The non-circumvention obligation in this Section 8 will not apply to You with respect to a ReadyFly Relationship only if the applicable Recruiter or You pays ReadyFly a fee for such relationship (the “Network Fee”), including if You want to commence or continue working with any Recruiter who is under ReadyFly agreement during the Non-Circumvention Period. The Network Fee is computed as follows: the greater of (a) one thousand dollars ($1,000); or (b) the amount that is equal to twelve percent (12%) the anticipated annual Recruiter compensation.
9 PAYMENT.
9.1 Payment to ReadyFly. You agree to pay all fees to your Account in accordance with the fees and billing terms in effect at the time a fee is due and payable and in accordance with the terms as set forth on the Platform, the ReadyFly website and/or otherwise agreed to between You and ReadyFly in writing (email acceptable). You will be required to provide ReadyFly with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) as a condition to signing up for paid services under the Platform. Your payment provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card, and you must refer to that agreement, not this Agreement, to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing ReadyFly with your credit card number, you agree that ReadyFly is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all fees and charges due and payable to ReadyFly hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify ReadyFly of any change in your billing address or the credit card used for payment hereunder.
9.2 Fees. All candidate/applicant fees must be made to ReadyFly in accordance with the terms set forth on the Platform and/or otherwise agreed to between You and ReadyFly in writing (email acceptable). If the Candidate has already submitted a resume directly to Employer, had a conversation with Employer and/or interviewed with Employer prior to introduction through the Services, or Candidate was referred to Employer through another staffing firm or agency, in each case within the last six (6) months prior to referral by ReadyFly, ReadyFly will not be entitled to a fee as long as Employer notifies ReadyFly in writing and sends a screenshot with a timestamped candidate resume submission or a written or verbal conversation. If You have already paid for a Platform plan, You will get back $15 for each candidate that had engagements with You within the last six (6) months before referral by ReadyFly.
9.3 No Refunds; Non-Payment. All fees and other amounts paid hereunder are nonrefundable except to the extent ReadyFly refunds You for applicant resumes that you received before the listing of an open role on the Platform. In this case, You will get a $15 refund for each candidate who did not engage with You through ReadyFly.
10. TAXES. The amounts paid under this Agreement do not include any taxes or withholdings (“Taxes”) that may be due in connection with any Services provided under this Agreement. If ReadyFly determines it has a legal obligation to collect Tax from You in connection with this Agreement, ReadyFly shall collect such Tax in addition to the amounts required under this Agreement. If any Services, or payments for any Services, under the Agreement, are subject to Tax in any jurisdiction and You have not remitted the applicable Tax to ReadyFly, You will be responsible for the payment of such Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant Tax authority and will indemnify ReadyFly for any liability or expense incurred. Upon ReadyFly’s request, You will provide official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence or documents reasonably requested.
11. INDEMNIFICATION. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold ReadyFly, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, and agents, harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of any and all of the following: (a) Your Data; (b) Your use of the Services;; (c) payment or nonpayment of amounts incurred in connection with the Services; (d) Your violation of the Agreement or of any rights of another party; or (e) Your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. ReadyFly reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by You, in which event You will fully cooperate with ReadyFly in asserting any available defenses. For purposes of this Section 11, You includes any of Your agents or any person who has apparent authority to access or use Your Account.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT READYFLY DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE QUALIFICATIONS OF ANY EMPLOYER, OR CANDIDATE. IN ADDITION, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU WILL SUCCESSFULLY HIRE ANY CANDIDATE, AND THAT ANY CANDIDATE HIRED BY YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO BREACHES OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER EMPLOYER OR ANY OF THE READYFLY PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES OR COSTS DUE TO LOSS OF PRODUCTION OR USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, IN EACH CASE WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS OR MEETINGS WITH OTHER USERS, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY OR (B) TOTAL, CUMULATIVE LIABILITY GREATER THAN THE SUM OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID AND PAYABLE TO READYFLY BY EMPLOYER DURING THE TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE ACT, OMISSION OR OCCURRENCE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN READYFLY AND YOU.
14. RELEASE. ReadyFly expressly disclaims any liability that may arise between parties involved in the provision or receipt of the Services. You release ReadyFly, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, investors, agents, partners from any and all claims, demands, or damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. You hereby waive any law which states in substance, “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
