C. YOU MUST BE 18 OR OLDER

If you are creating an account on behalf of yourself, you warrant and represent that you are the age of majority in your jurisdiction and fully able and competent to agree to these Terms of Service. You affirm you are 18 years of age or older, as the Services are not intended for, and do not knowingly collect personal information from, individuals under 18.

D. SERVICES SCOPE

Suited serves as a bridge between qualified candidates and potential employers. Our Services do not extend to any contract of employment and Suited is not subject to or bound by any contractual agreement arising between candidates and employers.

2. SERVICES & YOUR ACCOUNT

Suited advises employers on the suitability of candidates for a role using assessments and algorithms. The Services you access will depend on whether you are an employer (“Company”) seeking qualified candidates or a candidate (“Candidate”) seeking your ideal employer. Whether you are a visitor to the Site, a Candidate, a Company, or a Company employee or representative, access to the Services is subject to these Terms of Service.  

A. ACCOUNT CREATION

In order to access certain features of the Services, you will have to create a Suited account (“Account”). If you are a Candidate, you will create a “Candidate Account”. To create a Candidate Account, you will be asked to provide your first and last name and your email address. If you are accessing or using the Services on behalf of a Company, you will be provided with a “Recruiter Account” that we create on your behalf and which is based on your name and email address.

When creating a Candidate Account or accessing a Recruiter Account that is provided to you, you will be asked to choose a password. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and keeping your password secure. You agree to notify Suited immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your Account, access to your password, or any other breach of security. You are solely responsible for any and all use of your Account. Although Suited will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your Account, you may be liable for the losses of Suited or others due to such unauthorized use.

Suited may refuse to open an Account for any reason, in Suited’s sole discretion.

B. PROHIBITIONS

You may not: (a) create more than one Account; (b) provide any false personal information to us, create any Account for anyone other than yourself, or permit any other person to create an Account for you; or (c) use the account, username, or password of another Suited Account holder at any time or disclose your password to any third party. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account if any information provided during the Account creation process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, false, misleading, duplicative of an existing Account, or in violation of our Terms of Service, and you acknowledge that providing any such information to us may jeopardize your ability to complete job applications with one or more of our partner Companies.

C. TERMINATION

These Terms of Service shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services, have an Account, and even after your Account is terminated. You may terminate your Account at any time, for any reason, by emailing [email protected]. You agree that we may also terminate your Account or use of the Services at any time in our sole discretion, if you breach these Terms of Service, or otherwise, and you agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any such termination. If you or we terminate your Account, your access to the Services will be terminated and your Candidate Content, as defined below, will no longer be accessible through your Account. Although you will not have access to your Candidate Content, you agree that the Candidate Content that you provided and/or uploaded to the Services prior to the date of termination of your Account may persist and appear within the Services or otherwise. Upon your request, and in Suited’s sole discretion, you may be able to reinstate your Account at any time within one year after termination.

3. CANDIDATE PROFILES AND CONTENT

Candidates who create a Candidate Account will be able to create a Candidate profile (“Profile”). To complete your Profile, you will have the ability to provide your educational background, to complete one or more Assessments (as defined and described further below), and you may submit and upload a resume and/or other content to be shared on the Site. You also have the option but not the obligation to provide demographic information, including your age, your gender, your racial and ethnic origin(s), and your military status. The information you provide and/or upload to your Profile, including the resposnes to any Assessments, is collectively referred to in these Terms of Service as your “Candidate Content”.

You expressly acknowledge and agree that once you submit Candidate Content through the Services, it will be accessible by one or more Companies. If you create an Account after being referred to Suited by one or more Companies through a Company-specific invitation link, your Candidate Content will by default only be accessible by each of those Companies. If you create an Account by signing up through our main website, wellsuited.com, your Candidate Content will be accessible by any Company having an account or services agreement with Suited. You can change the default privacy settings of your Account at any time in the Advanced Settings section of the preferences page within the Services. In no case, however, does any Company acquire any rights to or control over your Account, your Profile, or your Candidate Content.

You shall be solely responsible for all Candidate Content that you submit, upload, post, or otherwise transmit to or through the Services, and you assume all risks associated with sharing your Candidate Content through the Services. You retain all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in and to your Candidate Content. By submitting Candidate Content through the Services, you grant us the right and license to use, analyse, distribute, and create anonymized derivations of your Candidate Content, subject to the terms of our Privacy Policy.

In addition, if you submit Candidate Content to us, you represent and warrant to Suited that such Candidate Content is accurate and complete, is your original creation, and that you have the rights necessary to grant the license to the Candidate Content under the prior paragraph. You further represent and warrant that the Candidate Content and its use by Suited does not and will not infringe or misappropriate the publicity, intellectual property, or moral rights of any person or contain any libelous, defamatory, or obscene material.

4. CANDIDATE ASSESSMENTS & ASSESSMENT DISHONESTY POLICY

A. OVERVIEW

As part of the creation of a Candidate Profile, you may have the ability to take one or more assessments (each, an “Assessment”), including a psychometric assessment, an essential competencies assessment, and/or one or more other assessments as may be offered by Suited from time to time. To access certain Assessments, you may be required to acknowledge and agree to supplemental policies, terms, and conditions of Suited (“Assessment Terms”). The Assessment Terms, including without limitation the Essential Competencies Assessment Policy available at https://www.wellsuited.com/essential-competencies-assessment-policy, are incorporated into and made a part of these Terms of Service by reference. Except as expressly set forth in the Assessment Terms and/or this Section 4, you will be able to take each Assessment only once; this is true even if you are referred to Suited by multiple Companies, or if you terminate your Account and later reinstate your Account. You represent and warrant that you will abide by the Assessment Terms, you will take each Assessment only one time except as expressly permitted by Suited, and you will do so honestly, to the best of your ability, and without assistance of or from any third party or resource.

B. ASSESSMENT DISHONESTY POLICY

As the purpose of the Assessment is for future employment with prospective employers or referring firms, your honesty and integrity are of utmost importance. As such, if there are any discrepancies in the results of your Assessment or if we have any reason to believe based on observation or other evidence that you violated the instructions and/or rules provided with the Assessment, the Assessment Terms or these Terms of Service, or any applicable law, we have the option to invalidate your Assessment and notify prospective employers that any such breach has taken place. We will inform you of this decision in a reasonable time via the email associated with your Candidate Account. If you receive such a notification from us, you may request that we review the discrepancy or our determination that you violated the Assessment Terms, these Terms of Service, or applicable law.

REQUEST FOR REVIEW

If your Assessment results are invalidated due to a violation of the Assessment Terms, these Terms of Service, or applicable law, you may submit to us a one-page letter and any evidence regarding the violation. We will review the letter and determine whether you will be offered an opportunity to take another Assessment (“Second Assessment”) but Suited will have no obligation to make this opportunity available to you. As part of our review, we may ask you to take a Second Assessment. The rules governing a Second Assessment are set forth below.

SECOND ASSESSMENT

The results of your Second Assessment will not replace the results of your Assessment. Rather, we will use the Second Assessment to corroborate the results of the Assessment and validate concerns or questions about any discrepancy, or violations of the Assessment Terms, these Terms of Service, or applicable law.

This Assessment Dishonesty Policy, the Assessment Terms, these Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, and any other document you may have acknowledged and/or to which you may have agreed with respect to the Services also apply to the Second Assessment. Additionally, the Second Assessment constitutes Candidate Content, and the results may therefore be shared with one or more Companies.  

Regardless of whether you ask for a review or choose to take a Second Assessment, Suited retains the right to disclose any discrepancy or violation of the Assessment Terms, these Terms of Service, or applicable law to a prospective employer or referring firm.

If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Suited Inc. will not seek, and hereby waives all rights Suited Inc. may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if Suited Inc. prevails in arbitration, unless you assert a frivolous claim.

C. LOCATION & FEES

Unless you and Suited Inc. agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration will take place in-person in the county in which you reside.
