If you use the Services after the date the change becomes effective, you consent to the changed terms. If you don’t agree to the changes, you must stop using the Services.

3.    Supply of Account

3.1    Account Set-up: Prevue or a Distributor has established and will maintain an Account for you at PrevueOnline/PrevueHub with log-in rights to enable you to set-up positions, administer Prevue Assessments to Candidates, generate Prevue Reports, develop and use Prevue Benchmarks, and control and manage Candidate and position data.

  1. A Pay-Per-Use Account where you can purchase and use Prevue Credits for assessing candidates, requisitioning Prevue Reports for candidates, and activating Prevue Benchmarks for your positions; or
  2. An Unlimited Use Account where you can assess and requisition Prevue Reports for an unlimited number of Candidates and develop an unlimited number of Prevue Benchmarks for your positions during the term of the License.

3.3    Account Information: You are responsible for keeping your Account log-in information and passwords confidential, and you are responsible for all activity that occurs in your Account. You can use your Account to gain access to other Prevue products, websites, or services (such as Prevue APS). If you do so, the terms and conditions for use of those products, websites, or services will apply to your use of those products, websites, or services in addition to the terms of this Agreement.

4.    Account License

4.1    Grant of License: Where you are supplied with an Unlimited Use Account, Prevue grants you a non-exclusive, non-assignable, unlimited use license (the “License”) to use the Services to assess an unlimited number of Candidates who are in your employ or apply for job openings in your organization during the initial term of the License and each renewal of the License, provided you do not directly or indirectly use the Services to develop or assist in developing any competing Services.

4.2    License Term: The License is an annual license (unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by Prevue) that commences on the date agreed upon by you and Prevue and continues for an initial term of one year. The License will automatically renew for successive one-year terms as provided in section 4.4 of this Agreement.

4.3    License Fee: The fee for the annual License is collected and charged in advance and is based on the number of persons in your employ at the date of commencement of the License and each renewal of the License as agreed upon between you and Prevue or a Distributor. The License fee on each renewal will be equal to the fee for the immediately preceding one-year term unless the number of persons in your employ changed or unless Prevue or a Distributor has given you at least 30 days prior notice of a fee increase. If Prevue has agreed to accept payment of the annual license fee in monthly or other periodic payments, any default in payment of any periodic payment renders the entire unpaid balance of the license fee at once due and payable.

4.4    Automatic Renewal: Provided that automatic renewals are allowed in your country, province, or state, we’ll inform you by email before automatically renewing any License granted to you. Once we have informed you that your License will be automatically renewed, we may renew the License and charge you the then current price for the renewal term. We’ll also remind you that we’ll bill your chosen payment method for the License renewal, whether it was on file on the renewal date or provided later. You must cancel the Services 30 calendar days before the renewal date to avoid being billed for the renewal.

4.5    Cooling Off Period: When you request a Service from us, you agree that we may begin to provide the Service immediately. You won’t be entitled to a cancellation or “cooling off” period, except if the law in your jurisdiction requires a cooling off period.

4.6    License Termination:  The License and the supply of the Services will terminate on the earlier of: (i) the expiration of any annual term of the License if you have given written notice to Prevue that you do not want to renew the License as provided in section 4.4; or (ii) the date which is 10 days after Prevue has given you written notice to cure a breach of any of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement, if you have not then cured such breach.  Upon termination, Prevue will be entitled to close the Account.

5.    Fees & Charges

5.1    Invoices: You will be invoiced for any Prevue Credits or other Services you purchase or for any License granted to you for an Unlimited Use Account, and you agree to pay those charges in the currency and within the time specified in the invoice. Prevue may suspend or close the Account if payment is not made on time. Suspension or closure of the Account for non-payment could result in a loss of access to and use of your Account and Account Data.

5.2   Sales Taxes. The price for any Services (including any License) is exclusive of all applicable federal, state, provincial, or local sales or value added taxes or levies and such taxes or levies will be added to the price for the Services you purchase.

5.3    Payment Method: To pay the charges for any Services provided by Prevue, you’ll be asked to provide a method for payment of invoices at the time you sign up for those Services. You agree to keep your billing information current at all times.

5.4    Price Changes: We may change the prices for the Services at any time and will notify you by email at least 30 days before the price change takes effect. If there is a fixed term and price for any of your current Service offer (such as a License) at the time notice is given of a price change, that price change will not become effective until the end of the term of your current Service offer.

5.5    Refund Policies: Unless otherwise provided by law in your jurisdiction, all purchases are final and non-refundable.

5.6    Late Payments: A late payment fee of 1.5% per month will be charged on overdue invoices. You must also pay for all reasonable costs we incur to collect any past due amounts including reasonable lawyers’ fees and other legal fees and costs.
