The Website and Services..
AKUT360’s obligations are limited only to the provision of the Services and do not in any way include acting on the Customer’s behalf. Nothing in these Terms is intended to, or shall, establish any partnership or joint venture between the Customer and AKUT360.
Purchases
If you wish to purchase any product or service made available through the Service (“Purchase”), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Purchase including, without limitation, your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, and your billing address.
You represent and warrant that:
(i) you have the legal right to use any credit card(s) or other payment method(s) in connection with any Purchase; and that
(ii) the information you supply to us is true, correct and complete.
By submitting such information, you grant us the right to provide the information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion and payment of Purchases.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order at any time for certain reasons including but not limited to: product or service availability, errors in the description or price of the product or service, error in your order or other reasons.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order if fraud or an unauthorized or illegal transaction is suspected.
The Service is not designed to provide qualitative advice regarding the fitness for purpose and merchantability of any products or services, including, without limitation, the quality, suitability, honesty, truthfulness, any other characteristics of, or any actions or statements made by, any Candidate. We strongly advise you to exercise caution and do your own due diligence in conducting any transactions through the Service, including, without limitation, considering and/or hiring any Candidate through the Service.
Subscriptions
Some parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). After an agreed Free Trial period expires, you will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.
At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you affirmatively cancel it or AKUT360 cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal by contacting AKUT360 customer support team.
A valid payment method, including credit card, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide AKUT360 with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize AKUT360 to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, AKUT360 will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice. If such payment it not made then your access to the Service may be interrupted or cancelled, in each case with no obligation or liability to AKUT360.
Free Trial.
Access to the Website and the Services may be granted to the Customer on a trial or ‘free’ basis (“Free Trial”) for a period of four (4) days after they receive their first candidate.
This Free Trial access is solely for the purpose of providing the Customer a preview of the functionality, features, and possible benefits of the Services. You may be required to enter your billing information in order to sign up for the Free Trial.
On the last day of the Free Trial period, you will be prompted to choose a subscription plan in order to continue using the Service.
At any time and without notice, AKUT360 reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer, in each case without any liability of obligation to AKUT360 .
Fee Changes
AKUT360, in its sole and absolute discretion (“Discretion”) and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle. AKUT360 will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.

Disclaimer
Except where inapplicable or prohibited by law (including, without limitation, the State of New Jersey):
Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. The Service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or course of performance.

This disclaimer of liability applies to any damages or injury caused by any failure or alleged failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer virus, communication line failure, theft, or destruction or unauthorized access or, alteration of or use of record in connection with the use or operation of the Service, whether for breach of contract, tortious behavior, negligence or any other cause of action.

Exclusions
Some jurisdictions (including, without limitation, the State of New Jersey) do not allow the disclaimer or exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you.
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator, you and AKUT360 nevertheless agree that such court or arbitrator should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision and that the other provisions of the Terms shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms (together with our Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between us regarding our Service, and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have between us regarding the Service.
Generally
Arbitration is a method of resolving a Claim without filing a lawsuit. “Claim” means any dispute between you, the AKUT360 Parties, and/or any involved third party relating to your account, you use of the Service, your relationship with AKUT360 Parties, or these Terms. This includes any and all claims that relate in any way to your use of the products, your attempted use of the products, and any act or omission by AKUT360 Parties or any third party related to your use or attempted use of the products or services. You, the AKUT360 Parties, or any involved third party may pursue a Claim. The AKUT360 Parties agree to binding arbitration should it have any Claims against you. Likewise, you agree to binding arbitration should you have any Claims against AKUT360 Parties. By agreeing to arbitrate, you waive the right to go to court and agree instead to submit any Claims to binding arbitration. This arbitration provision sets forth the terms and conditions of our agreement to binding arbitration and is governed by and enforceable under the United States Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended.
Exceptions to Binding Arbitration
As an exception to binding arbitration, you and the AKUT360 Parties both retain the right to pursue, in a small claims court, any claim that is within that court’s jurisdiction and proceeds on an individual (non-class) basis. AKUT360 Parties will not demand arbitration in connection with any individual claim that you properly file and pursue in a small claims court, so long as the claim is pending only in that court. Binding arbitration also does not apply to disputes concerning trade secret misappropriation, patent infringement, copyright infringement or misuse, or trademark infringement or dilution.
Mandatory Pre-Dispute Procedures
You acknowledge and agree that before initiating any Claim (subject to the exceptions above) against any of the AKUT360 Parties, you will first give us an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes sending a written description of your problem or dispute to us, including, but not limited to, information or representations related to our products and upon which you rely. You may send the written description by certified mail or an internationally-recognized courier to Level 40, 2-26 Park Street, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia; Attn: General Counsel. You agree to negotiate with the AKUT360 Parties in good faith about your problem or dispute. If your problem or dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction within 60 days after the AKUT360 Parties’ receipt of your written dispute, you agree to the dispute resolution provisions below.
Commencement of Arbitration
Except where otherwise prohibited by law (including, without limitation, the State of New Jersey), you and the AKUT360 Parties agree to commence any arbitration proceeding within one (1) year after the Claim arises (including the mandatory pre-dispute procedures outlined above) and that any proceeding commenced after (one) 1 year shall be barred.
Arbitration Location
For your convenience, the arbitration may be conducted in the jurisdiction where you reside. It may be held by telephone or through written submissions if both you and AKUT360 Parties agree.
Sponsoring Organization, Rules and the Arbitrator. You agree that any Claims shall be resolved by submitting the dispute to final and binding confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator who is a retired judge or an experienced attorney with experience in the subject(s) of the Claim. The arbitrator shall be chosen from JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and the arbitration rules of the selected tribunal shall apply, which can be obtained by calling the selected tribunal.
The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, construction, validity, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms and this arbitration provision. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether this arbitration agreement can be enforced against a non-signatory to this agreement and whether a non-signatory to this agreement can enforce this provision against you or the AKUT360 Parties.
Arbitration Fees
The AKUT360 Parties shall pay for all filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for an arbitration initiated by either party. The parties shall each pay their own additional fees, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, those for any attorneys, experts, documents, and witnesses. However, if AKUT360 or any of the AKUT360 Parties are the prevailing party in the arbitration, applicable law may allow the arbitrator to award attorneys’ fees and costs to such parties.
Arbitration Award
The arbitrator shall follow substantive law and may order any relief if permitted by law. The arbitrator may award any form of individual relief, including injunctions and punitive damages, so long as they are in accordance with these Terms and applicable law. The arbitrator may award costs or fees to a prevailing party, but only if the law expressly allows it. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the arbitrator’s ability to award remedies provided by applicable law. Any award rendered shall include a written opinion and shall be final, subject to appeal under the FAA.
Enforceability
This provision survives termination of your account or relationship with AKUT360 , bankruptcy, assignment or transfer. If the class action waiver is deemed unenforceable (i.e., unenforceability would allow arbitration to proceed as a class or representative action), then this entire arbitration provision shall be rendered null and void and shall not apply. If a portion of this arbitration provision (other than the class action waiver) is deemed unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration provision shall remain in full force and effect.
Exclusive Venue for Other Controversies
Any controversy excluded from the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions in this Agreement (other than an individual action filed in small claims court) shall be filed only in the state and federal courts located in California, and each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for any such controversy.
