These Terms of Service for the Human Capital University Interface govern your access to and use of the University Interface (defined below), so please read everything carefully.

UNIVERSITY INTERFACE
- University Interface. This Agreement governs Client’s access to, and use of, of Human Capital’s “University Interface”, which means (a) access to and use of Human Capital’s proprietary interface that provides Clients with access to employment candidates curated by Human Capital for the Client (“Candidates”, and such interface, the “University Interface”), and (b) the support, maintenance, and training services that Human Capital provides to Client with respect to the use of the University Interface (“Support Services”). Human Capital will find, screen, and select Candidates that it deems, in its sole discretion, the best fit based on the criteria that Client has indicated. Such screening will generally entail a first-round style interview, although in cases where a Candidate is very well known to Human Capital, this step may not be undertaken. The specific services related to the University Interface that Client will be entitled to receive under this Agreement will be set forth in an SSA or an “Order Form” that is entered into by the Parties. Client’s employees, contractors, or other personnel that access and use the University Interface on Client’s behalf are its “Users” under this Agreement. The University Interface provides Client and its Users with tools and services to provision, support, and manage the use of the Human Capital Interface.
- Access; License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Term, and subject to Client’s payment of all applicable fees, Human Capital shall provide Client access to the University Interface as specified in an SSA or an Order Form signed by the Parties for the Term.

Client shall indemnify Human Capital for any taxes imposed upon Human Capital for which Client is responsible.
TERM AND TERMINATION
- Term. Unless terminated earlier pursuant to any of the Agreement’s express provisions, the term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue until the Subscription Period under the applicable SSA or Order Form has expired (“Term”). Human Capital and Client may agree on additional periods thereafter by executing additional SSAs or Order Forms.
- Termination. Either Party may immediately terminate this Agreement by providing prior written notice of its intent to terminate. In the event of any termination: (a) all of Client’s rights under the Agreement will immediately terminate and Client will immediately cease any access or use of the University Interface; (b) if Human Capital terminates the Agreement for material breach by Client, then Client will remain responsible for the remaining balance of the Fees in Client’s applicable SSA or Order Form(s) and Client must pay within 30 days all such amounts plus related taxes and expenses; (c) Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.4, and 12.5 of this Agreement, together with any other provisions that by their nature are intended to survive, will continue to apply in accordance with their terms.

- Suspension, Limitation, or Termination. Human Capital may, in its sole discretion, immediately stop, suspend, or modify the University Interface at any time without prior notice, in any circumstances Human Capital reasonably determine to be necessary, including but not limited: (i) if Client violates a material restriction or obligation in the Agreement, including where payment of Fees are not paid in a timely manner; (ii) to perform essential repairs/maintenance to the Service; or (iii) if in Human Capital’s judgment, the University Interface or any component thereof is about to suffer a material threat to security or functionality. Human Capital will provide advance notice to Client of any such suspension in Human Capital’s reasonable discretion based on the nature of the circumstances giving rise to the suspension unless Human Capital determines that prior notice is not feasible. Human Capital will use reasonable efforts to re-establish University Interface promptly after Human Capital determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the situation giving rise to the suspension has been cured. Human Capital may terminate University Interface if any of the foregoing causes of suspension are not cured within 30 days after Human Capital’s initial notice thereof. Any suspension or termination by Human Capital under this Section 8.3 will not excuse Client from its obligation to make payment(s) under the Agreement if the suspension or termination arises from Client’s breach of the Agreement.
PRIVACY; DATA PROTECTION.
Human Capital may collect, use, and share personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information as described in our Privacy Policy.
