Any capitalized term not defined in the Order Form or in these Terms and Conditions shall have the meaning ascribed to it in any Jobvite application. If any provision of an Order Form is inconsistent with the Terms and Conditions, the terms of the Order Form will prevail over the Terms and Conditions solely to the extent of such inconsistency.

3. Data Security and Use of Information
3.1 Security. Jobvite uses commercially reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of the information you submit via the Products. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, Jobvite cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to, or store with, Jobvite, and you do so at your own risk. In the event that Jobvite becomes aware of a breach of the security of your data, Jobvite will notify you within the time period required by applicable law in the form, and according to the procedure, determined by Jobvite.
3.2 Customer Data. Customer owns all right, title and interest in the Customer Data (as defined below). Customer hereby grants Jobvite a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable right and license to collect, access, use, process, transmit, and store the Customer Data for the purpose of performing its obligations under the Agreement and for purposes of improving its products and services. In addition, Customer grants Jobvite the right to aggregate the Customer Data with data collected from other Jobvite customers. Such aggregated data may be used by Jobvite for the purpose of improving, supporting, operating, and marketing its products, services, and software provided, however, that Jobvite will not disclose aggregated data that can reasonably be used to identify Customer. “Customer Data” means data owned or controlled by Customer that is provided, submitted, or collected through the Products. For the avoidance of doubt, Jobvite is the owner of all data derived from the Candidate Data (defined below), whether or not aggregated with other data. All Candidate Data will be treated in accordance with the Jobvite Privacy Policy, available at https://www.jobvite.com/privacy-policy. “Candidate Data” means information about people submitted to Customer through the Products.
4. Confidentiality
“Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by either party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other (“Receiving Party”), whether in writing, orally, or by any other means, that is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure, or that should be reasonably identified by the Receiving Party as confidential. Confidential Information may include, without limitation, technical information, business and financial information, plans and strategies, marketing and sales information, and/or customer data. Confidential Information expressly includes Jobvite’s technology, including the Products, Software, algorithms, code, processes, product documentation, and other technical information. Confidential Information does not include any information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; (b) can be shown by written documentation to have been known to the Receiving Party at the time of its receipt from the Disclosing Party; (c) is received from a third party who did not acquire or disclose such information by a wrongful or tortious act; or (d) can be shown by written documentation to have been independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
Each party, as Receiving Party, agrees to: (a) hold the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in confidence; (b) use the same degree of care to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information as it uses for its own confidential information, but no less than a reasonable degree of care; (c) use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing its obligations under the Agreement; (d) not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party, except to employees and contractors of the Receiving Party on a need-to-know basis and under written nondisclosure obligations at least as protective as this Agreement; and (e) immediately notify the Disclosing Party of any unauthorized disclosure, loss, or use, provided that the Receiving Party shall remain responsible for its employees’ and contractors’ acts and omissions. The obligations under this Section 4 shall survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement for a period of three years.
5. Fees, Payment Terms and Billing
5.1 Fees. Customer agrees to pay Jobvite the fees set forth in the Order Form(s) (“Fees”). Customer will pay Jobvite the Fees set forth in the applicable Order Form upon execution of such Order Form, unless other payment terms are specified in the Order Form. The fees for Professional Services (as defined below), if any, will be set forth in an Order Form or statement of work. Each Order Form and statement of work shall incorporate this Agreement by reference.

Customer is responsible for paying all such taxes, levies, duties, and assessments associated with Customer’s purchases under this Agreement, excluding any taxes based on Jobvite’s net income or payroll. If Jobvite has the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which Customer is responsible under this section, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer unless Customer provides Jobvite with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
5.4 Late Payment. If Customer fails to make any payment when due, without limiting Jobvite’s other rights and remedies: (a) Jobvite may charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of 1.5% per month calculated daily and compounded monthly or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable law; (b) Customer shall reimburse Jobvite for all reasonable costs incurred by Jobvite in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, and collection agency fees; and (c) if such failure continues for thirty (30) days or more, Jobvite may suspend access to the Products until Customer’s payment obligations are brought current.

9.1 Jobvite Indemnification. Jobvite shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Customer from and against any claim, suit, or proceeding arising from a third party allegation that Customer’s use of the Products as permitted under this Agreement infringes any third party intellectual property right, and Jobvite shall pay any damages or costs finally awarded against Customer (or amounts paid by Jobvite in settlement of such claim).

The indemnified party may participate in the defense at its own expense.
