2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Jobgether is a global remote talent platform dedicated to uniquely matching candidates with flexible and remote work opportunities. The platform aggregates flexible and remote job openings from around the world, ensuring candidates have comprehensive access to all the best positions that match their skills and aspirations.
The Client is offered various services via our Platform:
1. Promotion of Flexibility Policy: Enable and facilitate the promotion of the Client's Flexibility Policy and, consequently, enhance the visibility of the Client to Talents.
- "Flexibility Policy" means the policy implemented by the Client to ensure maximum flexibility at work, e.g., in terms of working hours, location, etc.
- "Talent" means any natural person seeking professional opportunities within a Flexible Company.
- "Flexible Company" means any company that has a Flexibility Policy.
2. Company Page Provision: Provide the Client with a company page on which the company's information, the Client's Job Postings, its Flexibility Score, and its Flexibility Policy are published.
- "Job Postings" means the Client's job advertisements published on the Platform with a view to recruiting Talents.
- "Recruitment" means the signing of an employment contract (for a fixed or indefinite period) or an equivalent contract, between the Client and a Talent relating to a Job Posting.
3. Top 10 Interview-Ready Candidates for Each Remote Role: Provide the Client with a curated shortlist of the top 10 most qualified, interview-ready candidates for each remote role.
- Identification of Best Applicants in Client's Talent Pool: Jobgether assists in identifying the best applicants from the Client's existing talent pool. Applicants register on Jobgether and go through a matching process, during which we create a shortlist of candidates who best match the Client's roles.
- Access to New Candidates: Jobgether promotes the Client's Job Postings to our database and conducts targeted sourcing on the Client's behalf, adding quality matches to the shortlist.
- AI Matching and Manual Review: Our AI technology, combined with expert manual review, meticulously filters candidates from both the Client's applicant pool and our extensive global database. This process ensures that only the top 10 most qualified, interview-ready candidates are presented for each position, sparing the Client from sifting through unqualified applications.
The services defined in this section are hereafter collectively referred to as the "Services".

The subscription price for the Services is included in the Plan.
Amounts are expressed in Euros (€) and are exclusive of fees and taxes, except where expressly stated otherwise.
Jobgether reserves the right to adjust prices at any time. The Client will be informed of price changes by e-mail at least fifteen (15) days before the new prices come into effect. However, these new prices only apply at the end of the subscription period for the Services or its renewal. If you do not agree with the new prices posted, you are free to terminate your subscription. Otherwise, you are deemed to have irrevocably accepted the new prices posted at the time of renewal of the subscription.
- Payment methods
Our Services are invoiced monthly or annually. The billing method is listed in the Plan.
The invoice is sent in electronic format by e-mail to the Client.
All bills are payable by the Client by bank transfer within thirty (30) days from the date of the electronic bill.
- Failure to pay or late payment
Should the Client be late in paying an invoice or fail to do so, or should there be any other problem with the payment of an invoice on the due date, the Client shall be liable, by operation of law, without prior notice of default, to pay interest on arrears at the rate of one percent (1%) per month, as well as a flat-rate surcharge of ten percent (10%) of the amount owed, with a minimum of one hundred and fifty euros (EUR 150), in addition to the legal costs.

The lodging of a complaint shall not result in the suspension of the payment obligations.
6. DURATION AND TERMINATION
The subscription takes effect on the date specified in the Plan and for the entire subscription period (monthly or annual). At the end of the initial subscription period specified in the Plan, the Contract is tacitly renewed for the same duration as that initially subscribed by the Client. However, the Client may decide at any time not to renew the Contract by going to the dedicated page of his personalized profile on the Platform (the " Personal Space ") before the end of the initial subscription period or the renewal period of the Contract (as the case may be).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contract may be terminated or rescinded by operation of law in the following cases:
- In case of non-performance by one of the Parties of an obligation under these Terms of Service. In this case, the other Party will have to put the defaulting party in default, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, to comply with its obligations. If the defaulting party fails to comply with this formal notice within thirty (30) calendar days of its receipt, the Contract shall be terminated by operation of law to the exclusive detriment of the defaulting party, without prejudice to the other party's right to claim damages;
- In the event of bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or cessation of activity for any reason other than a financial reason of one of the Parties to the Contract, the other Party may terminate the Contract with immediate effect, as of right and without prior notice, by simple notification.
7. NON-BYPASSING
The Client acknowledges that Jobgether has invested considerable time and resources in providing the Platform and its functionality. The Client also acknowledges that Jobgether has facilitated the matching of Talents.
Therefore, the Client is strictly prohibited from using the information provided by Jobgether for any purpose other than Talent Recruitment when using the Platform.
This non-bypassing requirement will be valid during the entire subscription period of the Services as well as for one (1) year from the deletion of the Client's personal account on the Platform (the " Account ").
Should the Client fail to comply with the obligation of non-bypassing, Jobgether reserves the right to suspend the Client's access to the Platform or to delete the Client's Account on the Platform. Jobgether also reserves the right to claim a penalty of fifteen thousand euros (EUR 15,000.-) from the Client concerned, without prejudice to the right to claim a higher amount corresponding to the full compensation for the damage actually suffered.
8. NON-DRAFTING
The Client waives the right to hire any employee or consultant of Jobgether without our prior written consent.
This obligation shall remain effective during the entire period of subscription to the Services and for a period of one (1) year from the termination of the Contract.
Should the Client fail to comply with this provision, Jobgether reserves the right to claim a penalty from the Client equivalent to the gross remuneration of the employee or consultant who has been dismissed during the three (3) month period preceding the dismissal. The gross remuneration taken into account is that paid by Jobgether during the last twelve (12) months preceding the poaching. The amounts referred to in this paragraph are however without prejudice to any other rights that Jobgether may have, in particular to claim damages for the loss suffered.
