1. Introduction and Acceptance of These Terms

1.1 These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding legal agreement between TalentyGo LLC, a a Wyoming limited liability company with its registered address at 30 N Gould St Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA ("TalentyGo," "we," "us," or "our"), and the business, organization, or entity that registers for or uses the Business Portal (the "Employer," "Company," "you," or "your").

1.2 The Business Portal is the employer-facing side of the TalentyGo recruiting marketplace made available at business.talentygo.com, together with all related web pages, features, tools, the AI-assisted matching engine, communications functionality, and associated services (collectively, the "Services"). Candidate-facing services are governed by separate terms applicable to candidates.

1.3 By creating an account, clicking "I agree" (or similar), accessing, or using the Services, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy for business users, any applicable Order (as defined below), and any Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") referenced in Section 8, all of which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services.

1.4 Authority. The individual accepting these Terms represents and warrants that they are at least 18 years old and are duly authorized to bind the Employer to these Terms. If you accept on behalf of an entity, "you" and "your" refer to that entity.

1.5 B2B service; not consumer service. The Services are offered solely to businesses and their authorized personnel for business/recruiting purposes. The Services are not directed to consumers for personal, family, or household use.

2. Definitions

For purposes of these Terms:

• "Account" means the Employer's registered account on the Business Portal.
• "Authorized User" means an individual (such as a recruiter, hiring manager, or administrator) whom the Employer permits to access the Services under the Employer's Account.
• "Candidate" means an individual who has created a candidate profile on the TalentyGo platform.
• "Candidate Data" means personal information relating to a Candidate that is made available through or obtained via the Services, including information revealed after a Candidate consents to contact.
• "Roster" means the searchable collection of pre-screened, anonymized Candidate profiles made available through the Business Portal.
• "Anonymized Profile" means a Candidate profile displayed with identifying details (such as name and current/prior employer) masked until the Candidate consents to reveal them.
• "Matching Engine" means the AI-assisted semantic search and matching functionality that ranks or suggests Candidates based on Employer-supplied criteria.
• "Order" means a subscription plan, order form, checkout confirmation, or one-time purchase through which the Employer subscribes to or purchases paid Services.
• "Content" means text, data, job descriptions, search queries, messages, logos, and other materials submitted, uploaded, or generated through the Services.
• "Employer Content" means Content that the Employer or its Authorized Users submit or upload.

3. Account Registration and Eligibility

3.1 Registration. To use the Services you must register an Account and provide accurate, current, and complete information, including a valid business email address and, where requested, verifiable company details. Registration is currently offered free of charge; certain features are or may become paid Services (see Section 7).

3.2 Eligibility. You represent that you are a bona fide employer, staffing/recruiting firm, or authorized recruiting agent using the Services for legitimate hiring or talent-sourcing purposes, and that your use complies with all applicable laws.

3.3 Account security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity occurring under your Account, whether or not authorized by you. You must notify us promptly at [email protected] of any suspected unauthorized use or security breach. We are not liable for losses arising from unauthorized use of your Account resulting from your failure to safeguard credentials.

3.4 Authorized Users. You are responsible for the acts and omissions of your Authorized Users, and you must ensure they comply with these Terms. Access rights are for your organization's internal use only and may not be shared, resold, or sublicensed.

3.5 Verification. We may (but are not obligated to) verify the identity, legitimacy, or good standing of any Employer or Authorized User, and may suspend or refuse access where verification fails or fraud, misuse, or risk is suspected.

4. The Services; License to Use

4.1 What the Services do. The Services allow you to search the Roster of Anonymized Profiles, use the Matching Engine to identify potentially relevant Candidates, express interest in Candidates, and — only after a Candidate consents — view unmasked details and communicate with that Candidate through the platform.

4.2 Consent-gated contact. You acknowledge and agree that you may contact a Candidate, and receive unmasked Candidate Data, only where the Candidate has affirmatively consented through the platform. You must not attempt to identify, de-anonymize, or contact a Candidate outside the platform's consent workflow, including by cross-referencing masked data with external sources.

4.3 Limited license. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your internal recruiting purposes during the term of your Account.

4.4 No reliance on availability of any particular Candidate. The Roster is dynamic. We do not guarantee that any particular Candidate, number of Candidates, quality of match, response, or hire will be available or achieved through the Services.

4.5 AI matching disclaimer. The Matching Engine produces automated suggestions and rankings that are probabilistic and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Matching output is a decision-support tool only. You are solely responsible for all hiring, screening, outreach, and employment decisions, and must apply independent human judgment consistent with applicable law (see Section 6). You must not rely on the Matching Engine as the sole basis for any decision that has a legal or similarly significant effect on an individual.

4.6 Changes to the Services. We may modify, add, or discontinue features of the Services at any time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of material adverse changes to paid Services.

5. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

5.1 General standard. You must use the Services lawfully, in good faith, and solely for legitimate recruiting purposes. You are responsible for all activity conducted through your Account.

5.2 Prohibited conduct. You (and your Authorized Users) must not, and must not permit or enable any third party to:

(a) Scrape, crawl, harvest, spider, index, or use any automated means (including bots, scripts, data-mining, or extraction tools) to access, copy, monitor, or collect data from the Services, or otherwise access the Services other than through the interfaces and any API we expressly provide;

(b) copy, reproduce, download, store, aggregate, republish, sell, license, rent, or otherwise create a database or derivative dataset from the Roster, Anonymized Profiles, or any Candidate Data, except as strictly necessary for a legitimate recruiting interaction permitted by these Terms;

(c) attempt to de-anonymize, re-identify, or unmask any Candidate, or contact or attempt to contact a Candidate through channels outside the platform's consent workflow;

(d) circumvent, disable, or interfere with consent gating, usage limits, rate limits, security features, or access controls, or probe or test the vulnerability of the Services;

(e) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Services, or attempt to derive source code or underlying algorithms (including the Matching Engine), except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;

(f) introduce malware, viruses, or harmful code, or take any action that imposes an unreasonable load on the infrastructure;

(g) misrepresent your identity, affiliation, or the nature of an opportunity; post fraudulent, fake, or "ghost" job opportunities; or use the Services for pyramid schemes, MLM recruiting, deceptive offers, or to solicit money or personal financial information from Candidates;

(h) use Candidate Data for any purpose other than evaluating and pursuing a bona fide employment or engagement opportunity — including no marketing, advertising, credit, insurance, tenant screening, background-industry resale, or training of your own or a third party's machine-learning models on Candidate Data;

(i) use the Services or Candidate Data in any way that discriminates unlawfully or violates equal employment opportunity or anti-discrimination laws (see Section 6);

(j) infringe intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of TalentyGo, Candidates, or third parties; or

(k) use the Services in violation of any applicable law, regulation, sanctions/export-control regime, or these Terms.

5.3 Enforcement. We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend, restrict, or terminate access, remove Content, and report unlawful activity to authorities. We may use technical measures to detect and prevent scraping and automated access.

6. Employer Obligations Regarding Candidate Data and EEO Compliance

6.1 Independent responsibility. As between the parties, when you receive or process Candidate Data through the Services, you act as an independent business/third party (and, where applicable, as a separate controller/business under applicable privacy law) and are solely responsible for your lawful handling of that data. TalentyGo does not act as your agent or service provider in making your hiring decisions, and you do not act as TalentyGo's agent.

6.2 Lawful handling of Candidate Data. You must:

(a) collect, use, store, and disclose Candidate Data only for the legitimate recruiting purpose for which it was made available, and in compliance with all applicable privacy and data-protection laws (including CCPA/CPRA and other state privacy laws described in our Privacy Policy);

(b) maintain a lawful basis and appropriate notices for your own processing of Candidate Data, and honor Candidate privacy rights and consent limitations;

(c) implement and maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of Candidate Data;

(d) not retain Candidate Data longer than necessary for the recruiting purpose, and delete it when no longer needed or upon a valid request, subject to your own legal obligations; and

(e) not sell or share Candidate Data, or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or transfer it to third parties except as necessary to pursue the specific opportunity and consistent with applicable law and the DPA.

6.3 Equal employment opportunity / anti-discrimination. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your sourcing, screening, outreach, selection, and hiring practices comply with all applicable equal employment opportunity and anti-discrimination laws, including (as applicable) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), the Equal Pay Act, and applicable state and local fair-employment, pay-transparency, "ban-the-box," and automated-decision/AI-in-hiring laws (for example, NYC Local Law 144, the Illinois Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act, the Colorado AI Act, and similar measures). You must not use the Services, search filters, the Matching Engine, or Candidate Data to discriminate against Candidates on the basis of any protected characteristic.

6.4 Automated decision-making. If you use the Matching Engine or other automated tools as part of employment decision-making, you are responsible for any required notices, bias auditing, accommodations, human review, and opt-out mechanisms under applicable law.

6.5 Background checks / FCRA. If you conduct background checks or use consumer reports, you are solely responsible for compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and applicable state analogues, including required disclosures, authorizations, and adverse-action procedures. The Services and Candidate Data are not "consumer reports," and TalentyGo is not a consumer reporting agency.

6.6 Data Processing Addendum. Where TalentyGo processes personal data on your behalf (for example, in providing certain account or analytics features), or where otherwise required by applicable law, the parties' respective data-protection roles and obligations are governed by the DPA (available on request at [email protected]), which is incorporated by reference. In the event of a conflict between the DPA and these Terms with respect to the processing of personal data, the DPA controls.

7. Paid Services, Fees, Billing, and Refunds

7.1 Free registration; paid features. Registration is currently free. Certain features are or may be offered as paid Services, including recurring subscriptions and one-time (one-shot) purchases. Applicable features, pricing, and billing frequency are described at the point of purchase or in the applicable Order.

7.2 Payment processing. Paid Services are processed through our third-party payment processor, Stripe. By purchasing, you authorize us and Stripe to charge your designated payment method for all applicable fees and taxes. Your use of Stripe is also subject to Stripe's terms and privacy policy. We do not store full payment-card numbers.

7.3 Subscriptions and auto-renewal. Unless otherwise stated in your Order, subscriptions automatically renew for successive periods at the then-current rate until cancelled. You authorize recurring charges for each renewal period. You may cancel renewal at any time before the start of the next billing period through your Account settings or by contacting [email protected]; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.

7.4 Price changes. We may change fees for future periods. We will provide reasonable advance notice of price changes affecting your subscription, and changes take effect at your next renewal.

7.5 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for all applicable sales, use, VAT, and similar taxes, other than taxes on our net income.

7.6 Refunds and cancellation. Except where required by applicable law or expressly stated in an Order, all fees are non-refundable, and payments are not refundable on a pro-rata basis for partial billing periods, unused features, or Candidates who do not respond or consent. One-time purchases are final once the associated feature or access has been delivered or activated. Refund requests may be submitted to [email protected]; any applicable refund window or free-trial conversion terms will be stated at the point of purchase (to be confirmed).

7.7 Non-payment. If a charge fails or an amount is overdue, we may suspend or downgrade access to paid Services after reasonable notice. You remain responsible for amounts due.

7.8 Chargebacks. If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute that we determine to be invalid, we may suspend your Account and pursue the disputed amount plus reasonable costs.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Our IP. The Services, including all software, the Matching Engine, the Roster compilation, text, graphics, logos, trademarks (including "TalentyGo"), and the selection and arrangement of content, are owned by TalentyGo or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited license in Section 4, no rights are granted to you.

8.2 Employer Content. You retain ownership of Employer Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and use Employer Content as necessary to provide and improve the Services, to enforce these Terms, and as otherwise permitted by our Privacy Policy. You represent that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that Employer Content does not infringe third-party rights or violate law.

8.3 Feedback. If you provide suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it without restriction or compensation.

8.4 No trademark use. You may not use our name, logos, or trademarks without our prior written consent, except as necessary to identify a legitimate integration or as permitted by these Terms.

9. Confidentiality

9.1 Each party may receive confidential information of the other. The receiving party will use it only to perform under these Terms, protect it with reasonable care, and not disclose it except to personnel and advisors bound by confidentiality obligations. Candidate Data is treated as confidential and is further governed by Sections 5, 6, and the DPA. These obligations do not apply to information that is public through no fault of the receiving party, independently developed, or rightfully obtained from a third party.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

10.1 The Services may link to or integrate third-party services (for example, Stripe). We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them is governed by their terms. Your dealings with any third party (including Candidates you contact) are solely between you and that party.

11. Disclaimers of Warranties

11.1 THE SERVICES, THE ROSTER, CANDIDATE DATA, AND THE MATCHING ENGINE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TALENTYGO AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

11.2 WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; THAT THE SERVICES OR SERVERS ARE FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS; OR THAT THE ROSTER, ANY PROFILE, CANDIDATE DATA, OR MATCHING OUTPUT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, VERIFIED, OR RELIABLE. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANY HIRING OUTCOME, RESPONSE, MATCH QUALITY, OR CANDIDATE AVAILABILITY. CANDIDATE-SUPPLIED INFORMATION IS PROVIDED BY CANDIDATES, AND WE DO NOT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY IT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED.

11.3 Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of Liability

12.1 EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL TALENTYGO OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, DATA, OR HIRING OUTCOMES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

12.2 CAP ON LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF TALENTYGO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO TALENTYGO FOR THE SERVICES IN THE twelve (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).

12.3 ALLOCATION OF RISK. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION ARE A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN AND APPLY EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnification

13.1 You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TalentyGo and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your or your Authorized Users' use of the Services or Candidate Data; (b) your violation of these Terms, the DPA, or applicable law (including privacy, EEO/anti-discrimination, and FCRA obligations); (c) your Employer Content; (d) your hiring, screening, or employment decisions and communications with Candidates; or (e) your infringement or misappropriation of any third-party right.

13.2 We will provide reasonable notice of the claim, and you will not settle any claim in a way that imposes obligations on us without our prior written consent. We may participate in the defense with our own counsel at our expense.

14. Term, Suspension, and Termination

14.1 Term. These Terms apply while you have an Account or use the Services.

14.2 Termination by you. You may stop using the Services and close your Account at any time through your Account settings or by contacting [email protected]. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except as stated in Section 7 or required by law.

14.3 Suspension or termination by us. We may suspend or terminate your access, in whole or in part, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure, engaged in fraud or prohibited conduct (including scraping or de-anonymization), or failed to pay fees; or as necessary to comply with law or protect the Services, Candidates, or third parties.

14.4 Effect of termination. Upon termination, your license and access end, and you must cease using the Services and Candidate Data and delete Candidate Data in your possession except as required for a legitimate, then-pending recruiting interaction or as required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5–6, 7 (accrued fees), 8, 9, 11–13, 15–17) survive termination.

15. Dispute Resolution — Binding Arbitration and Class-Action Waiver

15.1 Informal resolution first. Before initiating arbitration, the parties will attempt to resolve any dispute informally by written notice to [email protected] describing the dispute and requested relief, with a good-faith negotiation period of at least 30 days.

15.2 Agreement to arbitrate. Except as provided in Section 15.5, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services (a "Dispute") that is not resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration body (to be confirmed) under its then-current applicable commercial arbitration rules (to be confirmed), seated in Wilmington, Delaware, USA. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

15.3 Arbitration procedure. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator; the seat/location will be Wilmington, Delaware, USA (or, at your election, by videoconference or documents-only where permitted). The arbitrator has authority to decide arbitrability and to award any relief available in an individual action under applicable law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15.4 CLASS-ACTION AND JURY-TRIAL WAIVER. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DISPUTES WILL BE ARBITRATED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU AND TALENTYGO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party's claims or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court, and the remainder of this Section remains in effect.

15.5 Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual-property rights or to address unauthorized access, scraping, or misuse of the Services or Candidate Data.

15.6 Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, Account, and intent to opt out. Opting out does not affect the other provisions of these Terms.

15.7 Severability of this Section. Except for the class-action waiver in Section 15.4, if any part of this Section is found unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.

16. Governing Law and Venue

16.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 15, the exclusive venue for any permitted court proceeding is the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction there.

17. General Provisions

17.1 Changes to these Terms. We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice (for example, by email or in-portal notice) and update the "Last updated" date. Changes are effective as stated in the notice; your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Services.

17.2 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, any DPA, and any Order, constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Services and supersede prior agreements on the subject.

17.3 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

17.4 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.

17.5 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

17.6 Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

17.7 Notices. We may provide notices by email to the address on your Account or by in-portal posting. You must send legal notices to TalentyGo LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA, attention Legal, with a copy to [email protected].

17.8 Relationship. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms create no partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.

17.9 Export and sanctions. You represent that you are not subject to applicable sanctions and will comply with export-control and sanctions laws in using the Services.
