Terms & Conditions

Hello and welcome to this website (“Site”) and the family of services and websites presented by Fit First Technologies International Inc. (“Fit First”), including TalentSorter, TalentSeeker, and others. These terms apply to everyone who visits this Site, and explain what you can do, what we can do, and what happens if one of us doesn't follow the terms.  Be aware that there may be terms contained herein from time to time that are not applicable to you based on your specific use or the specific product you are using.  We encourage you to read our terms and be sure that you are using our Site appropriately.  This is important because these terms and conditions are a legally enforceable contract between you and Fit First.

This Site is primarily a matching system, facilitating the intelligent matching of people with job opportunities using a selection of proprietary tools and cutting-edge science. There are three types of users who will access the Site:

Visitors - Visitors to the Site may visit various pages to learn more about the services we offer and explore other information we publish on our Site (“Visitors”).

Representative of an Organization (“Employer”) – Primarily recruiters and hiring managers who are looking for help finding the right people to employ for their organization.

Individual Users - People who are interested in finding their ‘Right Next Thing’ (the “Job Seeker”) and people who have applied to an Employer’s job posting (the “Candidate”).

As an Employer you have the ability to do a variety of things – including posting a single job opening, building your own recruitment center, building a custom assessment product specific to each position, and creating (with the help of our powerful platform) the online first interview process through which candidates advance. Heck, the system will even handle advertising and reference checks for you.

As a Job Seeker you have the ability to use our tools to introduce yourself to organizations you are interested in, and apply for specific roles. You will also be offered the opportunity to create a personal profile and set your preferences; describing the kinds of opportunities you’d be interested in hearing about. All users who are applying for a job will also need to complete our TalentSorter Assessment which is a psychometric assessment and job benchmarking process that is used to rank candidates on the basis of their likely fit in a specific position and involves responding to between 50 and 250 questions (the “TalentSorter Assessment”).

Job Seekers’ profile information and preferences remain the property of the Job Seeker, to be shared at their choice with specific organizations, in relation to specific roles, at which point that instance of the individual’s information becomes the property of the organization. We believe Job Seekers should always be in control of who receives their information.

Job Seekers’ assessment data remain the exclusive property of Fit First, and will only be shared with employers at a Job Seeker’s direction, when the Job Seeker decides to introduce themselves for a job opening.

We each have responsibilities in maintaining a community that works for everyone; they are spelled out in detail below. At a very high level, here’s a snapshot:

We are responsible for

Protecting everyone’s privacy. Suffice it to say we take your privacy seriously. One of our most closely held beliefs is that the Job Seeker should always be in control of who sees their information, and who they choose to introduce themselves to.

Keeping the community safe. That means being on the lookout for people abusing the tools we make available, or otherwise violating our standards of business practice, and removing them from the community.

Continuously improving our tools and our algorithms. We have a lofty mission – to make life easier, better and more profitable for our clients, their candidates, and our community at large. To achieve that on a large scale, we need to be always tinkering, creating and testing, investing in new approaches that give people and organizations the tools to make better, more informed choices.

You are responsible for

All activity occurring under your accounts and are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable local, state, national and foreign laws, treaties and regulations relating to your use of the Site, including those related to the protection of intellectual property, data privacy, international communications and the transmission of technical or personal data.

Notifying Fit First immediately of any unauthorized use of any password or account or any other known or suspected breach of security or abuse of the system.

Telling the truth and not misrepresenting yourself. Ever. Whether you are an Employer or a Job Seeker, everyone loses when someone is hired (or accepts a position) on the basis of claims that simply aren’t so. Trust that the right fit is out there and let us help you find out what it is.

J. Indemnification

If a third party makes a claim against either You or Fit First (the 'Recipient” which may refer to You or Fit First depending upon which party the claim was made against), that any information, design, specification, instruction, software, service, data, or material ('Material') furnished by either You or Fit First ('Provider' which may refer to You or Fit First depending on which party provided the Material), and used by the Recipient infringes its intellectual property rights, the Provider, at its sole cost and expense, will defend the Recipient against the claim and indemnify the Recipient from the damages, liabilities, costs and expenses awarded by the court to the third party claiming infringement or the settlement agreed to by the Provider, if the Recipient does the following:

• Notifies the Provider promptly in writing, not later than 30 days after the Recipient receives notice of the claim (or sooner if required by applicable law);

• Gives the Provider sole control of the defense and any settlement negotiations; and

• Gives the Provider the information, authority, and assistance the Provider needs to defend against or settle the claim.

If the Provider believes or it is determined that any of the Material may have violated a third party's intellectual property rights, the Provider may choose to either modify the Material to be non-infringing (while substantially preserving its utility or functionality) or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these alternatives are not commercially reasonable, the Provider may end the license for, and require return of, the applicable Material and refund any unused, prepaid fees the Recipient may have paid to the other party for such Material. If such return materially affects Fit Firsts’ ability to meet its obligations under the relevant subscription, then Fit First may, at its option and upon 30 days prior written notice, terminate the applicable subscription. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient if the Recipient alters the Material or uses it outside the scope of use identified in the Provider's user documentation or services policies or if the Recipient uses a version of the Materials which has been superseded, if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the Material which was provided to the Recipient. The Provider will not indemnify the Recipient to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon (i) any information, design, specification, instruction, software, data, or material not furnished by the Provider, or (ii) any Material from a third party portal or other external source that is accessible to You within or from the Services (e.g., a third party Web page accessed via a hyperlink). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fit First will not indemnify You to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon the combination of any Material with any products or services not provided by Fit First. Fit First will not indemnify You for infringement caused by Your actions against any third party if the Services as delivered to You and used in accordance with the terms of the Agreement would not otherwise infringe any third party intellectual property rights. Fit First will not indemnify You for any infringement claim that is based on: (1) a patent that You were made aware of prior to the effective date of the Agreement (pursuant to a claim, demand, or notice); or (2) Your actions prior to the effective date of the Agreement. This section provides the parties' exclusive remedy for any infringement claims or damages.

K. Support Services

Support services provided under the Agreement are specified in the Registration Process. Please see our Support page.

L. Termination

If You are not completely satisfied with the Services, You may cancel Your subscription at any time ('Termination Request').

Monthly license fees are non-refundable. Your cancellation shall be effective as of the last day for which you have prepaid monthly license fees. Services provided under this Agreement shall be provided for the period defined in the Registration Process unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Agreement. The term of the Services and any renewal months are collectively defined as the 'Services Term.' At the end of the Services Term, all rights to access or use the Services, including the Fit First Programs listed in the Registration Process, shall end.

If either party breaches a material term of the Agreement and fails to correct the breach within 30 days of written notice of the breach, then the breaching party is in default and the non-breaching party may terminate the applicable Services under which the breach occurred. The non-breaching party may agree in its sole discretion to extend the 30-day period for so long as the breaching party continues reasonable efforts to cure the breach.

You agree that if You are in default under the Agreement, You may not use the Services ordered. In addition, Fit First may immediately suspend Your password, account, and access to or use of the Services (i) if You fail to pay Fit First as required under the Registration Process and do not cure within the first ten days of the 30 day cure period, or (ii) if You violate any provision within sections C, H, J, M or Q of the Agreement. Fit First may terminate the Services hereunder if any of the foregoing is not cured within 30 days after Fit First initial notice to You thereof. Any suspension by Fit First of the Services under this paragraph shall not excuse You from Your obligation to make payment(s) under the Agreement.
At Your request, and for a period of up to 60 days after the termination of Your subscription Fit First may permit You to access the Services solely to the extent necessary for You to retrieve a file of Your Data then in Your dashboard. You agree and acknowledge that Fit First has no obligation to retain Your Data and that Your Data may be irretrievably deleted within 6 months after the termination of Your Services.

Provisions that survive termination or expiration of the Agreement are those relating to limitation of liability, infringement indemnity, payment, and others, which by their nature are intended to survive.

M. Fees and Taxes

You agree to pay for all Services ordered as set forth in the Registration Process. All fees due under the Agreement are non-cancellable and the sums paid non-refundable. You agree to pay any sales, value-added or other similar taxes imposed by applicable law that Fit First must pay based on the Services You ordered, except for taxes based on Fit First income. You agree that You have not relied on the future availability of any services, programs or updates in entering into the payment obligations in the Registration Process; however, the preceding does not relieve Fit First of its obligation to deliver Services that You have ordered per the terms of the Agreement.

N. Payment, Refunds, Upgrading and Downgrading

A valid credit card or other pre-paid method is required for paying accounts. Free accounts, which provide a limited access to the Service, are not required to provide a credit card number. The Fit First Site is billed in advance on a monthly basis in accordance with our pricing schedule and all payments are non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of Service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for months unused with an open account. In order to treat everyone equally, no exceptions will be made.
You will be billed for your first month immediately upon signing up for a paying account. After signing up for a paying account and if you don't cancel that account within 30 days, you will be billed monthly starting on the 30th day after your account was initially created. An upgrade from the free account to any paying account will end your free trial. You will be billed for your first month immediately upon upgrading.
