may clock-in using the software, and employers may view those employee time records electronically via the software
platform (โ€œTime and Attendanceโ€).

employer sponsored and endorsed benefit programs, including voluntary benefit programs offered by third party
providers with which employers have agreements to allow employee enrollment (โ€œBenefits Administrationโ€).

opportunities and search for and evaluate job candidates,(ii) candidates to post resumes and Profiles (as
defined below) and search for and evaluate job opportunities, and (iii) employees to fill out Onboarding
Materials (as defined below) as part of their employment onboarding process. GetHired does not screen or
censor the listings, including Profiles offered or the Onboarding Materials. GetHired is not involved in, or
a party to, the actual transaction between employers and candidates/employees. As a result, GetHired is

resumes posted; (iii) the truth or accuracy of the listings, resumes, Job Postings (as defined below), Profiles,
or the Onboarding Materials; (iv) the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates; or (v)

resumes, Profiles, Onboarding Materials, or other material from the Service from time to time, GetHired

failing to take any such action. The term โ€œpostโ€ as used herein shall mean information that you submit,
publish or display on the Service.
b. Job Seekers. When you register with the Service, you will be asked to submit information to your
Account, such as specific experiences, skills, capabilities and other employment-related information

last name and URLs. In addition, if you use the GetHired Onboarding feature, you will also be asked to

complete your Onboarding Materials. Any Profile information or Onboarding Materials that you submit
or provide to GetHired must be accurate and describe you, an individual person. You acknowledge and
agree that you are solely responsible for the form, content and accuracy of any resume, or material
contained therein, and any Onboarding Materials posted or submitted by you on or through the Service.

including resumes, Profiles, Onboarding Materials, cover letters, saved jobs, and questionnaires will be
marked as deleted in, and may be deleted from, GetHiredโ€™s databases and will be removed from any
public area of the Service. Information may continue to be available for some period of time because of
delays in propagating such deletion through GetHiredโ€™s web servers. In addition, third parties may retain
saved copies of your information. For example, when you submit Onboarding Materials as part of the
GetHired Onboarding feature, your employer may retain copies of your Onboarding Materials in
accordance with applicable law. GetHired reserves the right to delete your Account and all of your
information after a significant duration of inactivity, in GetHiredโ€™s sole discretion.

4
be responsible for any employment decisions, for whatever reason, made by any entity posting jobs on the
Service. In addition, employers are solely responsible for any Onboarding Materials that they upload to the
Service, as well as any Onboarding Materials that are submitted to them by their employees via the Service.
If you are an employer, you represent and warrant that you shall at all times and at your own expense: (i)
strictly comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and governmental orders, now or hereafter in
effect, relating to your use of the Service, including any aspect or feature thereof; (ii) pay all fees and other
charges required by such laws, rules, regulations and orders; and (iii) maintain in full force and effect all
licenses, permits, authorizations, registrations and qualifications from all applicable governmental
departments and agencies relating to your use of the Service, including any aspect or feature thereof. You
agree to indemnify and hold harmless GetHired or GetHiredโ€™s partners (as identified in an applicable
registration form you execute with such partner during the registration process (โ€œRegistration Formโ€)
and its affiliates and their directors, officers, and employees from and against all claims, losses, damages,
liabilities, taxes, fines, costs and expenses, including attorneys fees and other legal expenses, arising
directly or indirectly from or in connection with your use of the Service, including but not limited to any
claim or action brought by any governmental, state, or local agencies or arising from any failure by you to
comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. You understand and acknowledge that if you cancel
your employer Account, or your employer Account is terminated, all your account information from
GetHired, including saved resumes, prospective employee contacts, Onboarding Materials, and email
mailing lists, will be marked as deleted in, and may be deleted from, GetHiredโ€™s databases. Information
may continue to be available for some period of time because of delays in propagating such deletion
through GetHiredโ€™s web servers. In order to protect our other Users from commercial advertising or
solicitation, GetHired reserves the right to restrict the number of e- mails which an employer may send to
Users to a number which GetHired deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
6. Special Terms for Employers Regarding Use of Time and Attendance Platform.
a. No Employer/Employee or Joint Employer/Employee Relationship. You acknowledge and agree that
your use of any aspect of the Service does not create an employer/employee or joint employer/employee
relationship between you and GetHired or your employees and GetHired. You acknowledge and agree that
GetHired exercises no material control over the terms and conditions or circumstances of your employees
work. You acknowledge and agree that GetHired makes no recommendations or determinations as to your
employeesโ€™ employment status, classifications, rates of pay, or hours worked, and you acknowledge and
agree that any such determinations shall be made based on your own knowledge and understanding of all
applicable laws, rules, regulations, and governmental orders.
b. No Warranty with Respect to Data or Platform. GetHired makes no warranties or representations as
to the accuracy, completeness, or legal compliance of any data entered into its Time and Attendance
platform by users, employers, employees, or anyone else with access to the platform. GetHired does not
and will not modify time card data and therefore is not responsible for the accuracy of any time card data.
The employer, in its capacity as the administrator of the Account and/or its officers and managers, are
responsible for the accuracy of all time-card data. It is your responsibility to download all pay periods on a
timely basis so you have a record of the time cards.
c. Deletion of employees. GetHired does not and will not delete any of your employees and therefore is
not responsible for the loss of any time card data that occurs when an employee is deleted. When an
employee is deleted, they are put into a special inactive category but they are not deleted permanently and
the data will be retained. The deleted employeeโ€™s time cards are still available and can still be viewed in the
time cards section. You do not have to restore the employee to see previous time card data. Deleted
employees will remain in the special inactive category until you decide to restore them. You can restore the
employee any time you want to re- instate the employee with your company and their employee record will
be restored. If you restore the employee and then delete them again you may be charged for that employee
during the next billing cycle as if they are still in your employee list for that billing cycle, so do not restore
them unless you are re-instating them with your company. Deleted employees need to be deleted for 20
days in order to not be billed for them. This prevents anyone from deleting employees before the billing
5
date and then re-instating them after the billing was done so as to avoid paying for them if you are being
billed on a per employee per month basis.
d. Compliance with Laws. You acknowledge and agree that there are laws, rules, regulations, and
governmental orders with which you must comply in connection with your use of the platform and your
employment of employees. You further acknowledge and agree that GetHired and its parent and affiliated
companies, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and each of their
respective third-party suppliers, licensors, and partners, are not responsible for your compliance with laws,
rules, regulations, and governmental orders associated with your use of the Service and Time and Attendance
platform and your employment of employees. You represent and warrant that you shall at all times and at
your own expense: (i) strictly comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and governmental orders,
now or hereafter in effect, relating to your use of the platform, the Service and Time and Attendance
Platform, including any aspect or feature thereof, and to your employment of employees; (ii) pay all fees
and other charges required by such laws, rules, regulations and orders; and (iii) maintain in full force and
effect all licenses, permits, authorizations, registrations and qualifications from all applicable governmental
departments and agencies relating to your use of the Service, including any aspect or feature thereof. You
acknowledge and agree that GetHired and its partners have no duty to inform you of any of your legal or
regulatory obligations in using the Service and that GetHired and GetHiredโ€™s partners will never, in any way,
provide solicited or unsolicited legal advice to you.

compliance, and have at all times complied with, your internal policies and procedures, external policies

a. Limitation of Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
NEGLIGENCE, WILL GETHIRED OR ITS AFFILIATES, CONTRACTORS, EMPLOYEES,
AGENTS, OR THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE, OR

PECUNIARY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER) ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THE TERMS OR THAT RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF OR YOUR INABILITY TO
USE THE SERVICE OR ANY REFERENCE SITES, OR ANY OTHER INTERACTIONS WITH
GETHIRED, EVEN IF GETHIRED OR A GETHIRED AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT
ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH CASES, GETHIREDโ€™S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
b. Limitation of Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL GETHIREDโ€™S OR ITS AFFILIATESโ€™,
CONTRACTORSโ€™, EMPLOYEESโ€™, AGENTSโ€™, OR THIRD-PARTY PARTNERSโ€™, LICENSORSโ€™, OR

20. Dispute Resolution; Binding Individual Arbitration; Class Action Waiver.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 20 (โ€œARBITRATION AGREEMENTโ€) CAREFULLY. PLEASE
BE AWARE THAT THIS SECTION CONTAINS PROVISIONS GOVERNING HOW DISPUTES
14
BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THIS SECTION 20
INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, WHICH REQUIRES, WITH LIMITED
EXCEPTIONS, THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US BE RESOLVED BY BINDING
AND FINAL ARBITRATION. THIS SECTION 20 ALSO CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION AND
JURY TRIAL WAIVER. IN SOME COUNTRIES YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS
AND/OR ELEMENTS OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU AS
REQUIRED BY LAW.
a. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and
we agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or
use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services,
or the Terms, including claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of the Terms
(each, a โ€œDisputeโ€) will be resolved by binding arbitration, using the English language, rather than in court,
except that: (1) you and we may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and
remain in small claims court; and (2) you or we may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other
misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets,
copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, โ€œDisputeโ€ will also include disputes
that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Terms as well
as claims that may arise after the termination of the Terms.
b. Informal Dispute Resolution. There may be instances when a Dispute arises between you and us. If
that occurs, we are committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and we agree
that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, lowโ€cost and mutually beneficial
outcome. You and we therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or
initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer
telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by
this Arbitration Agreement (โ€œInformal Dispute Resolution Conferenceโ€). If you are represented by
counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you also agree to participate in the conference.
The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an
Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (โ€œNoticeโ€), which shall occur within forty-five (45) days after
the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing.
Notice to us that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email
to compliance@gethired.com, or by regular mail to the address in Section 21(j). The Notice must include:
(1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, email address associated with your Account (if you
have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and eโ€mail address of your counsel, if any;
and (3) a description of your Dispute. The notice must specify a proposed date and time when you are
available for an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference; however, you agree to cooperate with GetHired
in scheduling a mutually agreeable date and time if your proposed date and time is not convenient for
GetHired.
The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must
be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms
represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute
cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the
time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in
this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to
resolve the initiating partyโ€™s Dispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a
condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of
limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute
Resolution Conference process required by this section. Failure to appear for the Informal Dispute
Resolution Conference without prior notice or extenuating circumstances will be deemed a failure to
participate in good faith.
15
c. Waiver of Jury Trial . YOU AND WE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND
STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE
OR A JURY. You and we are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this
Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 20(a) above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration,
and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
d. Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT, EXCEPT
AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 20(i), EACH OF YOU AND US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST
THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS,
REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL
RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED,
OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION
BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN
ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH
THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the
arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and
only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the partyโ€™s individual claim. Nothing in this
paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under Section 20(i). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a final decision, not subject to any further appeal
or recourse, determines that the limitations of this Section are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular
claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and we agree that that
particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed
from the arbitration and may be litigated only in the courts provided for under Section 21(a). All other
Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or us
from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
e. Rules and Forum. The Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce; and
notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal
Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. ยง 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration
Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the informal dispute resolution process described above does
not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of Notice, you and we agree that either party
shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be
conducted by American Arbitration Association (the โ€œAAAโ€), an established alternative dispute resolution
provider, under its rules, including Consumer Arbitration Rules (the โ€œAAA Rulesโ€), then in effect, unless
otherwise required by law. AAAโ€™s rules are also available at https://adr.org/consumer. For all actions under
the AAA Rules, the proceedings may be filed where your residence is, or in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and
any in-person hearings will be conducted in Grand Rapids, Michigan. If AAA is not available to arbitrate,
the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will
be solely as set forth in the applicable AAA rules.
If the parties are not able to resolve the Dispute through the mandatory informal dispute resolution process
referenced above, either party may initiate an arbitration proceeding by sending a demand to the other party
that describes the nature and basis for the claim and includes all of the information required in the arbitration
notice (โ€œArbitration Noticeโ€). The party initiating arbitration must include as part of the demand a
personally signed certification of compliance with the informal dispute resolution process. The Arbitration
Notice must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, eโ€mail address of the party seeking
arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any
applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims;
(3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, goodโ€faith calculation of the amount in controversy
in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the informal dispute resolution process as
described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection
with such arbitration. If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Arbitration Notice shall
also include counselโ€™s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also
sign the Arbitration Notice. By signing the Arbitration Notice, counsel certifies to the best of counselโ€™s
knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the
16
Arbitration Notice is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary
delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions
are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing
law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if
specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further
investigation or discovery. Unless you and we otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in
Section 20(i) is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Subject to the
applicable AAA rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between
the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the
parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will be
solely as set forth in the applicable AAA Rules. You and we agree that all materials and documents
exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone
except the partiesโ€™ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they
agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential. During
the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us must not be disclosed to the arbitrator
until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
f. Arbitrator . The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in
the State of Michigan, and will be selected by the parties from the AAA roster of consumer dispute
arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery
of the Arbitration Notice, then AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the applicable
AAA rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under Section 20(i) is triggered, AAA will
appoint the arbitrator for each batch.
g. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute,
including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the
Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration
Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising
out of or relating to Section 20(d), including any claim that all or part of Section 20(d) is unenforceable,
illegal, void or voidable, or that Section 20(d) has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent
jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in Section 20(i), all Disputes
about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by
an arbitrator; (3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration
shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes
about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent
jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other
matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in Section 20(i). The
arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator
shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on
which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator
is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction.
h. Attorneysโ€™ Fees and Costs. The parties shall bear their own attorneysโ€™ fees and costs in arbitration unless
the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Arbitration Notice was
frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or we need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel
arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to
collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneysโ€™ fees
incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to
whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the informal dispute
resolution process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable
attorneysโ€™ fees and costs.
17
i. Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and we
agree that in the event that there are twenty-five (25) or more individual Arbitration Notices of a substantially
similar nature filed against us by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or
organizations, within a thirty (30) day period, AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of
100 Arbitration Notices per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Arbitration Notices left over after
the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Arbitration Notices), or in a single
batch if there are fewer than 100 Arbitration Notices in total; (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; (3)
administer the batches concurrently; (4) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated
arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one
hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (โ€œBatch Arbitrationโ€).
Arbitration awards in one batch of arbitration demands shall have no precedential effect on subsequently
administered batches.
All parties agree that Arbitration Notices are of a โ€œsubstantially similar natureโ€ if they arise out of or relate to
the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief.
To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party
shall advise AAA, and AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch
Arbitration process (โ€œAdministrative Arbitratorโ€). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by
the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as
are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitratorโ€™s fees shall be paid by us. You
and we agree to cooperate in good faith with AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the
payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Arbitration Notices, as well as any steps to
minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special
master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited
calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as
authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or
consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.
j. 30-Day Right to Opt Out . You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement
by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the applicable address set forth in Section 21(j), within
thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your
name and address, the email address you used to set up your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal
statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement,
all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no
effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
k. Invalidity, Expiration . Except as provided in Section 20(i), if any part or parts of this Arbitration
Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of
no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that, if Section 20(i) is found under the law to be
invalid or unenforceable to any extent, then you agree that the entire Arbitration Agreement shall be of no
force and effect. You further agree that any Dispute that you have with us as detailed in this Arbitration
Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or
controversy, or it will be forever time barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will
apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court
of competent jurisdiction.
l. Modification . Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any
future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, we will notify you. Unless you reject the change within
thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to us at the applicable address set forth in Section
21(j), your continued use of the Services, including the acceptance of products and services offered on or
through the Services, following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement constitutes your
acceptance of any such changes. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new
opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of the Terms
18
and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and
you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes arising out of or relating in any way to your
access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the
Services or the Terms, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted the Terms
(or accepted any subsequent changes to the Terms) remain in full force and effect. We will continue to honor
any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of the Terms.
21. Miscellaneous.
a. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. The Terms will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.
You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to the Terms or Service and is not
subject to arbitration or eligible for small claims action will be filed only in the state or federal courts in and
for Grand Rapids, Michigan, and you hereby consent and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction
of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. Notwithstanding this, either party shall still be
allowed to apply for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect or enforce that partyโ€™s intellectual property
rights in any court of competent jurisdiction where the other party resides or has its principal place of
business.
b. Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against GetHired must be resolved in accordance
with this Agreement. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Agreement shall be considered
improperly filed. Should either party file a claim contrary to this Agreement, the other party may recover
attorneysโ€™ fees and costs up to one thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,000.00 USD), provided that such party
seeking such fees has notified the other in writing of the improperly filed claim, and the other has failed
to promptly withdraw the claim.

d. Notice. GetHired may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms, by
email or by postings on the Service. Notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours after email is sent,
unless GetHired is notified that the email address is invalid. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice
by mail to a postal address, if provided by you through the Service. In such case, notice will be deemed
given three days after the date of mailing. Notice posted on the Service is deemed given 30 days following
the initial posting.
e. Waiver. The failure of GetHired to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms will not
constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of the Terms will be effective
only if in writing and signed by GetHired.
f. Severability. If any provision of the Terms or any Guidelines is held to be unlawful, void, or for any
reason unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated from the Terms to the minimum
extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
g. Assignment. The Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred
or assigned by you, but may be assigned by GetHired without restriction. Any assignment attempted
