General Terms & Conditions

These General Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are incorporated into and govern the Reseller Order Form (“Order Form”, collectively with these Terms, “Agreement”) entered in between the Customer identified on the applicable Order Form and Recsolu, Inc. d/b/a Yello (“Yello”) for Yello’s provision, as a reseller, of certain UrbanBound, Inc. (“UrbanBound”) products and services to Customer as set forth in the applicable Order Form. Customer, Yello, and Urbanbound may each be referred to as a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”. Any capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the same meaning given elsewhere in the Agreement. 

  1. General

1.1 Provision of the Platform and Services. Yello’s third-party supplier, UrbanBound, has authorized Yello to offer limited access to UrbanBound’s online proprietary platform (e.g., website) (“Platform”) to facilitate the provision of recruitment and related services (“Services”) for the Customer’s internal business purpose. The Services will be provided in packages defined by these terms and conditions, UrbanBound’s policies, guides, and manuals as updated and amended from time to time (“Documentation”), at the price set forth in an applicable Order Form (each such package a “UB License”). 

1.2 License Scope and Terms. Each Employee (i) is permitted to access the Platform solely for Customer’s internal business purposes and (ii) must enter into an agreement with Customer containing identical restrictions and other limitations set forth in the Agreement. Customer is responsible for all acts and omissions of its’ Employees. Switching between types of Employees may result in the creation of a new UB License subject to certain fees and expenses as set forth in an Order Form.  As used herein, “Employee” means an individual who is participating in an internship program with Customer (“Intern”) or an individual interviewing for employment with Customer (“Candidate”).

1.3 Access to Platform. Subject to a mutually executed Order Form, UrbanBound accepting such Order Form, and payment of all Fees owed under the Order Form, UrbanBound shall grant Customer a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right for one or more of its designated individuals to access and use the Platform (each an “Authorized User”) subject to the terms and conditions herein or as set forth in the Documentation. Customer, at its expense, shall be responsible for obtaining its own Internet access and any required hardware, software, or other technology to connect to the Platform. Customer shall not (and shall not allow any Authorized User to): (a) use the Platform in a manner that violates any applicable laws; (b) grant third parties permission to use the Platform or resell, transfer, pledge, lease, rent, or share Customer`s rights under the Agreement; (c) modify, remove or amend UrbanBound’s trademarks, name, or logo; (d) update, reproduce, duplicate, copy all or any part of the Platform; (e) use the Platform for the benefit of any third party, or to develop or market any product, software or service that is functionally similar to or derivative of the Platform, or for any other purpose not expressly permitted herein; (f) access or attempt to access any of UrbanBound’s systems, programs or data that are not made available for public use, or attempt to bypass any of the Platform’s security and traffic management devices; (g) use the Platform for benchmarking or to develop a product which is competitive with any Services; or (h) decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse engineer or attempt to reconstruct or discover any source code, object code or underlying ideas, structure, know-how, algorithms, file formats or programming or interoperability interfaces relevant to the Platform or any software, Documentation or data related to the Platform by any means whatsoever.

1.4 Service Providers. For the provision of Services, UrbanBound maintains a network of service providers that an Employee may choose from (“In-Network Provider(s)”). Customer may request UrbanBound exclude an In-Network Provider from selection by its Employee. UrbanBound shall review the request to exclude an In-Network Provider and, in its sole discretion, may approve or reject the request. Customer must use a third-party service provider of its own choosing managed by UrbanBound for the provision of any immigration, tax, global payroll, or visa services for an Employee or any services identified by UrbanBound related to the movement of individuals across international borders. UrbanBound may require Customer certify that all necessary immigration, tax, and visa processes are complete prior to the provision or completion of Services. For the avoidance of doubt, UrbanBound may suspend Services for any Employee if Customer fails to certify the completion of the immigration, tax, and/or visa processes. Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless UrbanBound and its affiliates, directors, agents, and employees from any and all claims resulting from or related to (a) the immigration, visa, or tax processes under this Section 1.4, and (b) an Employee’s violation of applicable immigration or tax law, including an Employee’s failure to comply with any legal immigration or tax obligations.

1.5 Automated Functionality. UrbanBound, in its sole discretion, may deploy certain automated or machine learning features (“Automated Functionality”) of the Platform or Services at any time during the Term. Subject to payment of any applicable Fees, Customer may use such Automated Functionality in accordance with the Documentation. Customer agrees that (a) UrbanBound makes no representations or warranties, whether oral or written, regarding the Automated Functionality, (b) the Automated Functionality may change or be discontinued, at any time, without prior notice to Customer and (c) Customer’s sole remedy for any issues or disruptions arising from the Automated Functionality is to stop using the Automated Functionality.

  1. Fees and Payment

2.1 License Fees. Customer shall pay to Yello the fees and expenses as specified in the Order Form (“License Fees”). Customer shall pay all License Fees in U.S. Dollars within thirty (30) days after they become due. Customer is solely responsible for any currency fluctuations, the difference in value between currencies, or reasonable currency exchange fees so that Yello receives the exact amount of License fees in U.S. Dollars as set forth in the Order Form. 

2.2 Funded Account/Reverse ACH. For the provision of certain Services, Customer shall either pay an amount set forth in the applicable Order Form to UrbanBound to be deposited in a financial account held by UrbanBound (“Funded Account”) or grant UrbanBound the necessary rights to withdraw an amount set forth in the applicable Order Form from Customer’s designated financial account to pay for the Services (“Reverse ACH”). Following Customer’s selection of either the Funded Account or Reverse ACH funding options, UrbanBound will unilaterally withdraw money from the Funded Account or customer’s designated financial account to pay for the Services selected in the applicable Order Form in accordance with the Documentation and UrbanBound’s policies and procedures. Based on the estimated total amount of fees indicated in the applicable Order Form, UrbanBound shall set the minimum threshold amount to be held in the Funded Account or Customer’s designated financial account at all times during the Term of the Agreement. UrbanBound, in its sole discretion, may change the threshold amount based on the change in the Consumer Price Index or Customer’s spend rate or late payments. Customer agrees that UrbanBound shall have the sole right to any interest that arises from funds held in a Funded Account. If Customer selects the Reverse ACH funding option, Customer represents and warrants that its designated financial account shall maintain the amount the minimum threshold amount for the Term. UrbanBound shall comply with any and all writs, orders, judgments, or decrees issued by a court of competent jurisdiction related to the Funded Account without any liability for such compliance. To the extent UrbanBound is made a defendant to any suit or proceedings regarding any funds deposited pursuant to the Agreement, Customer, and its successors and assigns, jointly and severally, shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of UrbanBound including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees. If the funds in the Funded Account or Customer’s designated financial account fall below the threshold amount set by UrbanBound, UrbanBound shall invoice Customer for the amount necessary to replenish the account to the threshold amount or to pay for the desired Services. All payments for invoices provided under this Section 2.2. are due within fourteen (14) days of the date of such invoice. UrbanBound shall assess a late penalty fee of 1.5% on all invoices provided under this Section 2.2. Customer agrees that if there are insufficient funds in the Funded Account or Customer’s designated financial account, UrbanBound shall stop provided the Services and shall have no liability whatsoever for any partially performed Services or damages that arise from the stop of performance. UrbanBound may communicate, in any manner, the stop in service to Customer and the applicable Employee. Customer shall be responsible for any expenses, fees, or fines that arise from an insufficient Funded Account or Customer’s designated financial account.

2.3 Taxes. All amounts due hereunder are exclusive of all sales, use, excise, service, value added, or other taxes, duties, and charges of any kind (whether international, federal, state, local, or other) associated with Customer’s use of the Platform or Services. Customer shall be solely responsible for all such taxes, duties, and charges (except for taxes applicable to Yello or UrbanBound, such as taxes imposed on Yello’s or UrbanBound’s U.S. income). Customer agrees to gross-up payments due to UrbanBound for any withholding or deduction relating to Customer’s jurisdiction or business such that UrbanBound is paid the net amount contemplated in the Order Form. In the case if any tax is deducted at source by Customer as per applicable tax law, a certificate as prescribed by law will be issued to UrbanBound for the amount of tax withheld and the amounts due to UrbanBound will be grossed-up as described above, unless otherwise agreed in writing (e.g., if the withholdings are recoverable by UrbanBound). In the event the tax treatment applicable to the Platform or Services is challenged by the tax authorities, any fine or interests for late tax payment imposed by the tax authorities will be borne by Customer.

2.4 Late Payments. Any late payments on any amounts owed to Yello shall be subject to an interest rate equal to 1.5% per month of the amount due or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less. UrbanBound may suspend access to the Platform or stop providing Services until such late payments are paid in full provided that such suspension shall not relieve Customer of its payment obligations for any amounts owed under an Order Form.

  1. Proprietary Rights

3.1 UB Technology. As between Customer, Yello, and UrbanBound, UrbanBound or its licensors own all rights, title, and interest in and to the UB Technology and improvements or derivative works thereto. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Agreement in no way conveys to Customer any right, title, or interest in the UB Technology other than a limited right to use the Platform and/or Services in accordance with the terms and conditions herein. No right or license is granted hereunder to Customer under any trademarks, service marks, trade names, or logos. As used herein, “UB Technology” means the Platform (including the data, information, text, images, designs, sounds, music, videos, marks, logos, compilations [meaning the collection, arrangement, and assembly of information] and other content on or made available through the Platform), Services, Documentation, and all improvements and derivatives of the foregoing (including all trade secrets and other intellectual property and proprietary rights embodied therein or associated therewith). 

3.2 Feedback. Customer, from time to time, may submit comments, information, questions, data, ideas, descriptions of processes, or other information relating to the Services to UrbanBound (“Feedback”). Customer agrees that UrbanBound may in connection with any of its products or services freely use, copy, disclose, license, distribute and exploit any Feedback in any manner without any obligation, royalty or restriction based on intellectual property rights or otherwise, provided Customer shall not be identified in connection with any such Feedback without Customer’s written consent in its sole discretion.

3.3 Injunctive Relief. Customer acknowledges that its breach of any intellectual property or confidentiality obligations or restrictions herein (including any limitations or restrictions on use of the Platform) will cause substantial harm to UrbanBound that could not be remedied by payment of damages alone. Accordingly, UrbanBound will be entitled to seek injunctive relief or other equitable relief, for any such breach, without any requirement to post bond, in any court of competent jurisdiction.

  1. Confidentiality. Customer will hold all elements of the Platform and the Services known to Customer in strict confidence, will disclose the same only as required to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under the Agreement, and will immediately notify Yello and UrbanBound upon discovery of any loss or unauthorized use or disclosure of the same.

5.4 Discontinuation of the Platform and/or Services; Cancellations. Customer acknowledges and agrees that during the Term of the Agreement, UrbanBound may discontinue the Platform and/or Services at any time upon reasonable notice to Customer. If UrbanBound cancels a UB License prior to the completion of the Service, UrbanBound shall refund to Customer any unused, pre-paid License Fees. UrbanBound shall have no obligation to provide any refunds to Customer to the extent Customer cancels a UB License in process after activation. Notwithstanding this Section 5.4, a cancellation does not relieve Customer from the Licensee Fees incurred prior to such cancellation and Customer shall remain responsible for any and all service provider invoices or expenses or incurred prior to such cancellation of the Agreement.

  1. Warranties; Disclaimer

6.1 Limited Warranty. UrbanBound warrants that (a) the Platform, when used as authorized, will substantially conform to the specifications in the Documentation and (b) as of the date of Customer’s initial access to the Platform, the Platform shall be free of any viruses, bugs, Trojan horses, or similar malicious components that could damage, destroy, or disrupt Customer’s network.
