BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OF SERVICE FOR EMPLOYERS (INCLUDING ALL ORDERS (AS DEFINED BELOW), THIS “AGREEMENT”), EITHER BY CLICKING A BOX INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OR BY EXECUTING AN ORDER FORM THAT REFERENCES THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY AND ITS AFFILIATES TO THIS AGREEMENT, IN WHICH CASE THE TERM “CUSTOMER” WILL REFER TO SUCH ENTITY. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT USE THE SERVICES. FOR CLARITY, USE OF THE JOB BOARD (AS DEFINED BELOW) BY JOB SEEKERS (AS DEFINED BELOW) WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE SEPARATE TERMS OF USE FOR END USERS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN US AND SUCH JOB SEEKERS. IF YOU ARE A JOB SEEKER, THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Customer and TrueLearn, LLC (“TrueLearn”) hereby agree as follows:

1. Access and Use of the Service.

1.1 Service Description; Scope. This Agreement will apply to Customer’s (a) purchase of job posting space (each, a “Job Posting”), whether on a one-off or subscription basis, on the service made available through www.apexanesthesia.com/jobs, which is designed to be a talent marketplace platform (the “Job Board”), (b) access and use of the Job Board, through which Customer may upload Customer Ad Content (as defined below), view certain insights and analytics related to interactions with the Customer Ad Content as displayed on the Job Board and communicate with Job Seekers (as defined below) and (c) related services (“Services”) ordered by Customer under a quotation or other ordering document issued by TrueLearn (including any online order) specifying the Services to be provided hereunder (“Order”). This Agreement represent the parties’ entire understanding regarding the Services and will control over any different or additional terms of any purchase order or other non-TrueLearn ordering document, and no terms included in any such purchase order or other non-TrueLearn ordering document will apply to the Services. In the event of a conflict between these Terms of Service and an Order, the terms of the Order will control. All capitalized terms not defined herein will have the meanings attributed in the Order.

1.2 Access Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, TrueLearn will post and publish, or enable the Customer to post and publish, the Customer Ad Content on the Job Board in accordance with the Job Posting(s) purchased by Customer pursuant to TrueLearn’s self-service website or the Order, if applicable. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, TrueLearn hereby grants Customer the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Job Board during the Term (as defined below), solely for Customer’s internal business purposes. TrueLearn will register Customer with username(s) and password(s) pursuant to which Customer may access the Job Board. Customer will be responsible for any actions taken by parties with access to such usernames and passwords (each, a “User”), and Customer agrees not to disclose such usernames and passwords to any third parties (other than employees of Customer). Customer will inform TrueLearn immediately if it discovers that any such username and/or password has been disclosed or made available to a third party. Customer may not use as a username the name of another person or entity or that is not lawfully available for use, a name or trademark that is subject to any rights of another person or entity other than Customer without appropriate authorization, or a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene. Any and all access or use of the Services by any employee of Customer is subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Order, and Privacy Policy is made available at https://truelearn.com/privacy/ (the “Privacy Policy”). 

1.3 General Practices Regarding Use and Storage. Customer acknowledges that TrueLearn may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including the maximum period of time that data or other content will be retained by the Service and the maximum storage space that will be allotted on TrueLearn’s or its third-party service providers’ servers on Customer’s behalf. Customer agrees that TrueLearn has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any data or other content maintained by or uploaded to the Service, whether by Customer, any User or otherwise. Customer acknowledges that TrueLearn reserves the right to terminate accounts that are inactive for an extended period of time. Customer further acknowledges that TrueLearn reserves the right to change these general practices and limits at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice.

1.4 Professional Services; Implementation. TrueLearn will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with any professional services described in an Order (“Professional Services”), and Customer will pay TrueLearn the fees set forth in such Order in accordance with the terms therein. Customer hereby grants TrueLearn the nonexclusive right and license to use and display the Customer’s name, logo and similar indicia (“Customer Marks”) (a) to the extent any Services or Professional Services involve the incorporation of Customer Marks in furtherance of this Agreement, including without limitation with respect to Customer Ad Content, and (b) on its website and marketing collateral identifying Customer as a customer of TrueLearn. TrueLearn obtains no rights in the Customer Marks except for the limited right described in the preceding sentence, and Customer retains all right, title and interest in the Customer Marks. All use of the Customer Marks by TrueLearn will inure to Customer.

2. Conditions of Access and Use.

2.1 Limited Use; Competitors. Unless otherwise expressly authorized herein or in the Service, Customer agrees not to, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, display, distribute, license, perform, publish, reproduce, duplicate, copy, frame, scrape, create derivative works from, modify, sell, resell, exploit, transfer, or upload any portion of the Service, including any data, content, or features contained in the Service (collectively, “Service Content”), use of the Service, or access to the Service. In addition, Customer will not, directly or indirectly: (a) use the Services to send unsolicited or unwanted email or otherwise violate applicable law, including without limitation sending email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act or other anti-spam laws; (b) use or access the Services to build or support, and/or assist a third party in building or supporting, products or services competitive to TrueLearn; (c) remove any proprietary notices or labels from the Services or Software; or (d) obtain or attempt to access or otherwise obtain any data, content or information through any means not intentionally made available or provided for through the Service. No employee, independent contractor, agent, or affiliate of any company in the business of providing a job matching and hiring platform or related services is permitted to view, access, or use any portion of the Service without express written permission from TrueLearn. Customer represents, warrants and covenants that it is not and no User is or will be a competitor of TrueLearn or any of its affiliates, or acting on behalf of a competitor of TrueLearn in using or accessing the Service. Except as expressly set forth on an Order, the Service is only for Customer’s internal business purposes. Customer understands and agrees that it may not upload any Customer Ad Content that (i) directly or indirectly discriminates against Job Seekers (as defined below) or is otherwise offensive, defamatory or mean-spirited, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups, (ii) impersonates any person or entity, including TrueLearn and its employees or representatives, or (iii) otherwise violates applicable law. 

2.2 Customer Obligations. Customer understands and agrees that it is solely responsible for ensuring that the Customer Ad Content is job-related and is in compliance with applicable law. Customer is responsible for its use of the Job Board and any tools offered therein, including decisions regarding any job description, the requirements for a job, compliance with any applicable Company published policies then in effect and applicable laws, including relevant federal, state, and local laws related to Job Postings, pay transparency and pay equity, and whom Customer interviews or hires. Customer is also responsible for ensuring that all job listing requirements and criteria are job-related, that Customer does not pose “disability-related inquiries” or medical inquiries in violation of the law, and that Customer does not screen out people with disabilities or members of any protected category under the law. Customer is responsible for offering alternative methods of screening, if so required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any similar law. TrueLearn assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability for the Customer Ad Content or any actions Customer takes based on any information provided by TrueLearn or via the Service. TrueLearn may limit Customer’s ability to post a job, or the visibility of such job, if it does not appear to indicate a salary above minimum wage, does not comply with wage transparency or pay equity laws, or does not comply with other applicable law; however TrueLearn is not responsible for, and you are solely responsible for, compliance with all applicable law, including minimum wage requirements, wage transparency and pay equity laws, local language and other legal requirements. 

2.3 Suspension. TrueLearn may immediately suspend Customer’s and all Users’ passwords, accounts and access to the Services (including without limitation removal of any and all Job Postings and Customer Ad Content) if (a) Customer fails to make payment due within thirty days after TrueLearn has provided Customer with notice of such failure; or (b) Customer violates Sections 1.2, 2.1, 4 or 9. Any suspension by TrueLearn of the Services under the preceding sentence will not relieve Customer of its payment obligations under this Agreement. Customer agrees that TrueLearn may reject or remove any Customer Ad Content for any reason or no reason. 

2.4 Notices. Customer agrees that TrueLearn may send notices to individuals searching for employment openings or services or information related to their job search (“Job Seekers”) informing them that an employer’s account has been compromised, including if such account is associated with Customer. TrueLearn cannot and does not guarantee that such notices will always be sent or received, and you therefore agree that TrueLearn bears no responsibility for doing so. TrueLearn makes no warranty regarding, and disclaims any liability for, the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of such notices.

3. Fees and Payments. Customer will pay all fees set forth in an Order in accordance with the payment terms set forth therein. All fees are non-cancelable and nonrefundable. All amounts invoiced hereunder are due and payable within thirty (30) days after invoicing unless specified otherwise in the Order. Customer will pay all fees in U.S. Dollars or in such other currency as agreed to in writing by the parties. Customer will be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services, other than taxes based on TrueLearn’s net income. In the event of non-payment of any amounts due, TrueLearn will be entitled to recoup all of its costs of collection allowed by law, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and court costs, and interest at the rate of 18% per annum or the maximum allowed by law. If Customer disputes any charges, Customer must let TrueLearn know within sixty (60) days after the date that TrueLearn charges Customer, or within such longer period of time as may be required under applicable law.

9. Confidential Information. Each party (the “Receiving Party”) understands that the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) has disclosed or may disclose information relating to the Disclosing Party’s business (hereinafter referred to as “Confidential Information” of the Disclosing Party).

If Customer has a dispute with TrueLearn, wishes to provide a notice under this Agreement, or becomes subject to insolvency or other similar legal proceedings, Customer will promptly send written notice to TrueLearn at support@truelearn.com..

11. Governing Law; Arbitration. Customer and TrueLearn intend that this Agreement is to be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflict-of-law or choice-of-law rules, and that the rule of construction that provides that a document is construed against the maker thereof be inapplicable in the construction of any of the terms of this Agreement. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, will be determined through confidential binding arbitration in Charlotte, North Carolina before one arbitrator. The confidential binding arbitration will be administered by AAA pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and Customer and TrueLearn will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including the hearing. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, Customer and TrueLearn submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within county of Charlotte, North Carolina.

12. General. This Agreement (together with all Order(s) and the terms incorporated by reference herein) constitutes the entire agreement between Customer and TrueLearn governing Customer’s access and use of the Service, and supersedes any prior agreements between Customer and TrueLearn with respect to the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, there will be no force or effect to any different terms of any related purchase order or similar form even if signed by the parties after the date hereof. The exchange of a fully executed Order by electronic signature or fax will be sufficient to bind the parties to this Agreement and such Order. Customer also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply to third-party services, content or software. The failure of TrueLearn to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect. Customer agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Customer may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of TrueLearn, but TrueLearn may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” TrueLearn will not be in default hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations where such failure or delay is due to civil disturbances, riot, epidemic, hostilities, war, terrorist attack, embargo, natural disaster, acts of God, flood, fire, sabotage, fluctuations or unavailability of electrical power, network access or equipment, or any other circumstances or causes beyond TrueLearn’s reasonable control.
