Client acknowledges that the Lighthouse Connect Platform and all related materials—including written content, software, and any Lighthouse Hiring Innovations‑related training sessions (collectively, the “Proprietary Information”)—contain copyrighted material, trade secrets, and confidential information owned by Lighthouse Hiring Innovations (the “Publisher”).
Client shall not copy, distribute, sell, sublicense, or otherwise make the Proprietary Information available to third parties. Except as expressly authorized herein, Client must (a) keep the Proprietary Information confidential, (b) use it only as permitted by this Agreement, and (c) refrain from disclosing it to any third party except as required by law. Client agrees that misappropriation would cause irreparable harm, and consents to injunctive relief for any actual or threatened breach.
The Platform is provided as a web‑based service, subject to routine maintenance. Use is restricted to trained users within the Client Group and may not be offered to third parties (e.g., for recruitment or staffing). The Platform and any accompanying data are provided “as is,” without warranties of uninterrupted service, error‑free operation, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. Client assumes all risk; neither Consultant nor Publisher is liable for any inability to use the Platform or for errors, omissions, delays, viruses, corruption, or other malfunctions.
Client is solely responsible for the setup, maintenance, and security of its own hardware, software, and internet services. Regular updates to browsers, antivirus, and operating systems are essential. Client shall not decompile, reverse‑engineer, decrypt, or create derivative works from the Platform. Client must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to its use of the Platform.
All data entered by Client (the “Client Data”) remains Client’s exclusive property. Client warrants that it has the right to provide such data and grants Publisher and Consultant permission to process it for administration and support. Publisher may use aggregated or anonymized data to improve its products and operations.
Consultant may suspend or terminate this Agreement if Client fails to pay fees, becomes insolvent, or otherwise breaches the Agreement. Publisher may also suspend Platform access if Client’s use impairs system operation. Upon termination or expiration, Client must cease all use of the Proprietary Information; software may contain time‑limiting codes to enforce this. Client is liable for any breach by members of the Client Group.
Unless prohibited in writing by Client, Consultant and Publisher may acknowledge the existence (but not the terms) of this Agreement and may reference Client’s name, logos, and trademarks in marketing materials.
The maximum aggregate liability of Consultant and Publisher arising from this Agreement is limited to the fees paid by Client during the immediately preceding twelve (12) months.
Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by conditions beyond its reasonable control, including Acts of God, governmental restrictions, war, or other unforeseen events.
All licenses end immediately upon termination or expiration. Within ten (10) days, Client must return all Proprietary Information. Continued use after termination may, at Consultant’s option, trigger automatic renewal and fee liability. Certain provisions (Sections 1, 4, 5, 7–12) survive termination.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of [GOVERNING REGION], without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Publisher is an intended third-party beneficiary and may enforce any provision of this Agreement. The Agreement is subject to Publisher’s approval (Lighthouse Hiring Innovations, 388 Yonge St, Toronto, ON).
