During the Initial Term, the Services are provided as a paid trial with full access to the functionality included in the applicable Account type, unless a written order form or signed agreement expressly states otherwise. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and terms of any written order form or agreement signed by both parties, the signed order form/agreement will prevail.
2.2 Modify Services. Prevue reserves the right to modify or discontinue certain features of the Services. If Prevue makes a material adverse reduction to the core functionality of the Services during a paid term, Customer may terminate this Agreement and receive a pro-rated refund of any prepaid, unused fees.
For greater certainty, changes to user interface, workflows, features provided on a beta, trial, promotional, no-charge, or third-party integrated basis, or changes made to maintain security, legal compliance, or technical integrity of the Services, shall not, by themselves, constitute a material adverse reduction to the core functionality of the Services.
2.3 Prevue Distributor. This Agreement applies even if a Distributor provides the Services to you, in whole or in part.
2.4 Amendments to this Agreement. Prevue may change this Agreement at any time and will give Customer at least 30 days’ notice. Changes will take effect upon the start of Customer’s next Renewal Term. If Prevue requires changes to take effect mid-term and such changes are materially adverse to Customer, Customer may terminate this Agreement without penalty upon written notice.
2.5 Third-Party Services. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with third-party applications or systems (e.g., Applicant Tracking Systems). Prevue cannot guarantee the continued availability, compatibility, performance, or security of such third-party integrations and may cease providing them without entitling Customer to any refund or credit. Integrations may change, degrade, or cease functioning if third-party providers modify, restrict, suspend, or discontinue their APIs, authentication methods, permissions, policies, infrastructure, or access terms. Prevue is not responsible or liable for any third-party products, services, outages, delays, data loss, security incidents, API changes, access restrictions, or the acts or omissions of such third parties.
Without limiting the foregoing, Prevue shall have no liability for any unavailability, downtime, outage, latency, security incident, data loss, corruption, performance degradation, interruption, or infringement claim arising from Customer’s use of, or reliance on, any third-party applications, systems, integrations, hosting providers, cloud infrastructure providers, internet service providers, telecommunications providers, email providers, or other third-party services not controlled by Prevue.
3. Term and Termination
3.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days (the “Initial Term”). The Initial Term is a paid trial period during which Customer will have full access to the Services made available under the applicable Account type, subject to this Agreement. This Agreement will expire automatically at the end of the Initial Term unless the parties otherwise agree in a written order form or other written agreement signed by both parties. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Term” means the Initial Term and any extension or replacement term expressly agreed by the parties in writing.
3.2 Suspension of Services.
- Payment Suspension. In the event that Customer does not pay the Fees when due, Prevue may suspend Customer’s and its Authorized Users’ access to the Services until payment is made.
- Emergency Suspension. Prevue may immediately suspend Customer’s or any Authorized User’s access to the Services if Prevue reasonably believes that:
(i) Customer’s use of the Services poses a security risk to the Platform or to other customers;
(ii) Customer is using the Services for fraudulent or illegal activities;
(iii) immediate suspension is necessary to prevent harm to Prevue or its systems. Prevue will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice of such suspension and will restore access once the underlying issue is resolved;
(iv) Customer’s or its Authorized Users’ use of the Services involves excessive system usage, denial-of-service activity, automated attacks, abusive behavior, credential compromise, attempts to circumvent security controls, or any activity that threatens the stability, availability, integrity, or performance of the Platform; or
(v) suspension is reasonably necessary to investigate suspected fraud, impersonation, manipulation of candidate testing, or other misuse of the Services. Prevue will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice of such suspension and will restore access once the underlying issue is resolved, as determined by Prevue acting reasonably.
3.3 Customer’s Right to Terminate. Customer may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days’ written notice if Prevue commits a material breach of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within that 30-day period.
3.4 Prevue’s Right to Terminate. Prevue may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if Customer:
- fails to pay any sum owing by the due date and such failure continues for five (5) Business Days after written notice;
- infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of Prevue; or
- breaches any other material provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice.
3.5 Waiver. The waiver by either Party of a breach shall not be effective unless in writing and shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach.
3.6 Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason:
- the Parties shall implement the Transition-Out Services pursuant to section 3.8;
- Prevue shall terminate and invalidate any Authentication IDs associated with Customer;
- Customer shall pay to Prevue all Fees and other amounts accrued, earned, or payable as of the effective date of termination, and, if Customer terminates or Prevue terminates for Customer’s breach, any non-cancellable committed Fees for the remainder of the then-current Term shall immediately become due and payable, to the extent permitted by applicable law; and
- each Party will return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other Party.
3.7 Data Retention & Deletion.
- For Unlimited Use Accounts: Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Account Data will remain available for export for a period of thirty (30) days. Thereafter, Prevue will irreversibly anonymize or securely delete all production Account Data in accordance with its Data Deletion and Retention Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, deletion or anonymization may be delayed to the extent required by applicable law, legal hold, disaster recovery systems, backup retention cycles, or technical processes reasonably necessary to complete secure deletion, provided that any retained data remains protected in accordance with this Agreement. - For Pay-Per-Use Accounts: Prevue will retain Account Data for a period of two (2) years following the last purchase of Prevue Credits. If no purchase is completed within this period, the account will enter an ‘Inactive’ status and be retained for one (1) additional year (the ‘Grace Period’). If no purchase is made by the end of the Grace Period (totaling three years of inactivity), data will be irreversibly anonymized or deleted. A purchase of Prevue Credits at any time during this period halts the deletion process and resets the retention timeline.
- General Retention Terms: Unless otherwise agreed in a separate Data Retention Addendum or where the Customer has explicitly subscribed to an extended Data Archiving Service, all Account Data will be retained and deleted in accordance with the standard timelines set forth in this Section.
- Exceptions: Notwithstanding the foregoing, Prevue may retain specific financial, billing, and transactional records within its secure Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for the minimum period required to satisfy applicable tax, legal, or regulatory retention obligations.
3.8 Transition Assistance. Commencing upon the delivery of any notice of termination or non-renewal of this Agreement, and continuing for a period of thirty (30) days after the effective date of expiration or termination (the “Transition-Out Period”), Prevue will, to the extent requested by Customer, provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to facilitate the orderly transition and migration of the Services and transfer of Account Data to Customer. Customer will continue to pay for Services properly rendered during the Transition-Out Period. For any additional services or resources required to provide this assistance, the Parties shall mutually agree upon the hourly rates or fees in writing prior to Prevue commencing such work.
