Absent an express written agreement to the contrary, fees paid will be non-refundable in the event that the content is removed or your access is terminated from the Site for violating these Terms.  

Accolo may from time to time, and in its sole discretion, change, increase, decrease or eliminate the Fees charged for the Service, or any part thereof.

11.    Third Party Services

In connection with your use of the Site, you may be made aware of services, products, offers and promotions provided by third parties, and not by Accolo.

If you decide to use any third party services, you are responsible for reviewing and understanding the terms and conditions governing those third party services. You agree that the third party, and not Accolo, is responsible for the performance of those third party services, and that Accolo does not warrant or endorse any third party services you may access via the Site.

12.    Third Party Web Sites

The Site may contain or reference links to Web sites operated by third party, such as those used to market jobs supported through Site ("Third Party Websites"). These links are provided as a convenience to you and are not under the control of Accolo. Accolo is not responsible for the content of any Third Party Website or any link contained in a Third Party Website. Accolo does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third Party Websites, and the inclusion of any link in the Service is not and does not imply an affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, approval, investigation, verification or monitoring by Accolo of any information contained in any Third Party Website. In no event will Accolo be responsible for the information contained in such Third Party Website or for your use of or inability to use such website. Access to any Third Party Website is at your own risk, and you acknowledge and understand that linked Third Party Websites may contain terms and privacy policies that are different from those of Accolo. Accolo is not responsible for such provisions, and expressly disclaims any liability for them.

13.    Job Specific Information Within our Cloud Recruiting® Platform

The Accolo method and technology, including scoring methodology and applicant flow information and analysis, are Accolo¡¯s sole property and are subject to the proprietary information sections of these Terms. Accolo grants client users a limited, terminable, royalty-free, right to access specific recruitment plans, including the job descriptions, online interview questions and aggregated candidate source information within its knowledgebase. Any job descriptions, online interview questions, question scoring or any other job related information entered by users becomes the property of Accolo as set forth in Section 4 above.

14.    Job Specific Information Used by You

While you can utilize job specific information within Accolo¡¯s knowledgebase as a reference for new or existing jobs, you assume all responsibility for the accuracy, legality, fairness, appropriateness, humor, lack of humor, adherence to government policies and regulations, and any other liability that is related to your job descriptions, interview questions, scoring of interview questions, decisions made on applicants (reject, hold, hire, etc.) and job marketing decisions for each job launched within the Accolo platform.

15.    Applicant Information

User agrees to direct all applicants to apply for the job only through the Accolo/HireMojo platform. Any jobs listed with an alternate non-Accolo/HireMojo application link or method understand that those links will be removed and that the user may be blocked from using Accolo/HireMojo.

Individual applicant information gathered during the process of recruiting for specific jobs will be licensed by the user to Accolo and, if applicable, the hiring company. When applicants enter information, or clients institute searches for candidates, the applicant and/or client, by inputting such information into the Site, is granting to Accolo an unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, world-wide license to use, modify, distribute, license, analyze, collate, sell, or create derivative works from that information in accordance with the confidentiality provisions specifically elected by the candidate and in accordance with our privacy policy. By applying for a job, the applicant is expressly authorizing the release of their information to the hiring company and Accolo. During the period that the user utilizes the Site, the client user will be able to view candidate information using the Accolo web console, and the client and Accolo may, in a separate agreement, agree to optional export services of specific candidate information. Such separate agreements shall be governed by our privacy policy.

Accolo assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the accuracy or completeness of the Applicant responses to your questions.

16.    Recording Hires

Any organization or hiring authority using the Service agrees to keep track of and record all hires from any source for the jobs managed through the Service by selecting ¡°Hire¡± in the decision menu.
