Business Terms of Use

THIS IS A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE ENTITY NAMED IN THE APPLICABLE CUSTOMER FIELD HEREIN (“PREMIUM EMPLOYER,” “YOU,” “YOUR”), AND BUILT IN, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES (“BUILT IN,” “WE,” OR “US”). THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS LIMITATIONS ON BUILT IN’S LIABILITY TO YOU. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING “I AGREE” BELOW AND CONTINUING TO USE THE WEBSITES CONTROLLED BY BUILT IN (THE “SITE”), THE INDIVIDUAL SO CLICKING REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT S/HE HAS THE FULL AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT ON YOUR BEHALF, AND DOES SO INTENDING THAT YOU WILL BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE (THE “BUSINESS TERMS”)

 

1. GENERAL SERVICE TERMS

1.1 Built In operates a Site and platform that facilitates recruiting and brand development in the technology and startup communities (the “Services”). In addition to the Services, and in consideration of the fees (the “Fees”), you may sign up to receive benefits, such as the inclusion in content, events and job listings, as provided on your Order Form or online purchase order, as applicable, (the “Benefits”). Each time Premium Employer purchases Benefits, the parties shall enter into an order form (an “Order Form”). The Benefits are subject to change at any time, provided that such change will not affect Benefits you have already purchased under an Order Form.

 

1.2 We may change these Business Terms at any time, and all such changes are effective immediately upon notice, which we may give by any means, including, but not limited to, by posting a revised version of these Business Terms or other notice on the Site. You should view these Business Terms often to stay informed of changes that may affect you. Your use of the Services constitutes your continuing agreement to be bound by these Business Terms, as they are amended from time to time.

 

1.3 If you sign up for a free trial for any of the Services or are a part of our launch partnership, Built In will make such Services available to you on a trial basis free of charge until the earlier of (a) the end of the free trial period for which you registered to use the applicable Service(s); (b) the end of the launch partnership pursuant to the related Order Form; (c) the start date of any Benefits purchased by you pursuant to the related Order Form; or (d) termination of the trial by us in our sole discretion.

 

1.4 Privacy Policy. Information that you provide to us or that we collect about you through your access to and use of the Services is subject to Built In’s Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read and become familiar with our Privacy Policy.

 

1.5 Premium Employer Cooperation.

 

1.5.1 The Built In content team works closely with Premium Employer to create the Benefits and highlight your company in Built In’s voice.  This means that unless otherwise specified on an Order Form, the Benefits are provided throughout the Benefit Term (as defined in each Order Form), in Built In’s discretion rather than on a pre-determined schedule. In order for Built In to effectively provide the Benefits, you must provide us with Employer Content (as defined below) in a timely manner and upon request.  Failure to provide such cooperation may result in your inability to take advantage of the Benefits. If you are unable to take advantage of all of the Benefits due to your failure to cooperate with Built In during the Benefit Term, you will not be entitled to a refund.

 

1.5.2 In connection with your access and use of the Services and that of any person authorized by you to access and use the Services, you are responsible for complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies of all relevant jurisdictions, including all applicable local rules regarding online conduct. Specifically, in connection with your use of the Services, you may not cause or permit any person to do any of the following:

(a) use the Site or Services for any unlawful purpose;

(b) use the Site to post or transmit any material that contains any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, malware, adware, or other computer programming routines that may damage, interfere with, surreptitiously intercept, or expropriate any system, data, or personal information;

(c) impose an unreasonably or disproportionately large load on the Site or otherwise interfere with or inhibit any other user of this Site from using or enjoying the Site;

(d) use the Site to post or transmit any unlawful, fraudulent, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, profane, threatening, abusive, hateful, offensive, harassing, or otherwise objectionable information of any kind;

(e) use the Site to post or transmit any information which is invasive of another’s privacy or publicity rights or that otherwise violates or infringes in any way upon the rights of others; 

(f) access, use or copy any portion of the Site or Services through the use of bots, spiders, scrapers, web crawlers, indexing agents, or other automated devices or mechanisms; and 

(g) use the Site to post or transmit any solicitations, chain letters, pyramid schemes, investment opportunities or schemes, or other unsolicited commercial communication.

 

2. CONTENT & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

2.1 In order for Built In to provide the Services and Benefits, you must provide Employer Content to us, which includes comments, images, visual content, computer files, documents, graphics, suggestions, ideas, or other information. “Employer Content” also includes (a) the information and data you upload to your company profile and job listings, and (b) information, photographs and quotes you provide to our content team. Built In reserves the right to alter Employer Content for the purposes of providing the Services and Benefits to Premium Employer. 

 

2.2 By providing Employer Content, you grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to Built In an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such Employer Content for any purpose, of or in connection with Built In providing the Services and Benefits or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such Employer Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. You further represent that you are authorized to disclose all of the Employer Content to Built In to provide the Services and Benefits. You are fully responsible for any Employer Content you provide and for ensuring the Employer Content is complete and appropriate for public consumption on the Site. For the avoidance of doubt, Employer Content is not Confidential Information as defined in Section 4 of these Business Terms.

 

2.3 We understand and agree that you own your trademarks, trade names, logos and service marks (the “Employer Marks”) and Employer Content, and we have lawfully licensed from you, all right, title, and interest in and to your Employer Marks and Employer Content, and other than the license set forth in Section 2.2 and this Section 2.3, that we acquire no interest in such intellectual property rights due to our limited use of such Employer Content and Employer Marks in connection with providing our Services and Benefits to you.

 

2.4 Built In grants you a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use the Services, including the Benefits. You understand and agree that we own the Built In trademarks, logos and service marks (“Built In Marks”). You acknowledge and agree that the Built In Marks constitute valuable proprietary information that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other proprietary rights, laws, and treaties of the United States and other countries, and that you acquire no ownership interest by the limited use of the Built In Marks. Except for the limited permission in Section 7.4, you may not, without our express written permission, use any of the Built In Marks for any other purpose. 

 

2.5 Some of our Benefits involve Built In’s content team working with you to produce original content. If you purchase Benefits that consist of photographs, “Visual Property” on the Order Form means the number of final photographs listed on such Order Form, as selected by our photographer. If you purchase Benefits that consist of one or more videos, the “Visual Property” on the Order Form refers to the final MP4 files of such videos provided with the Benefits. If and to the extent that your Benefits entail Visual Property, Built In retains ownership and intellectual property rights in the Visual Property and if applicable, all photographs taken during the photography session. Built In grants Premium Employer a limited, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, publish, copy, publicly display, reformat, reproduce and distribute such Visual Property. Built In may upon written request, terminate such license, and Premium Employer agrees to cease using such license, if Built In believes, in its sole discretion, that Premium Employer’s use of any Visual Property may violate any third party’s rights. In such case, Built In may replace such potentially infringing Visual Property with new, non-infringing replacement visual property. Premium Employer represents that it has secured the appropriate third party authorization of all individuals featured in the Visual Property.

 

2.6 As part of our Services, Built In publishes non-paid community content which reports news and stories relating to companies and people in the technology and startup communities (“Community Content”). You acknowledge that Built In has the right to use your name and logo on the Site in Community Content and in other editorial content pursuant to the copyright “fair use” and other related doctrines.

 

2.7 You grant to Built In the right to use the Employer Marks to make announcements, statements, or other publicity or marketing materials relating to Built In.

 

2.8 You can find out more about our content offerings on our Content Descriptions page. 

 

3. FEES AND PAYMENT

3.1 While the Benefits will begin on the Effective Date, as defined in each Order Form, and continue for the Benefit Term, these Business Terms will continue until you cease using the Services. 

 

3.2 If you want to purchase additional Benefits during a Benefit Term, you must enter into a new Order Form, which will provide the additional Benefits and additional Fees.

 

3.3 If you pay by credit card or certain other payment instruments, you hereby authorize Built In’s credit card processing agent to bill your credit card or other payment instrument for Fees applicable to your Benefits, as listed in each Order Form.

 

3.4 Premium Employer acknowledges that the Fees stated in each Order Form will reflect the then current Benefits prices and that such Fees are subject to change between Order Forms.

 

3.5 In the event (a) Premium Employer fails to comply with these Business Terms and the Privacy Policy; or (b) Premium Employer becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, Built In may immediately suspend or terminate your access and any outstanding Order Form. In such case, the Fees received from Premium Employer shall be non-refundable. Such early termination shall not relieve Premium Employer from any unpaid payment obligation hereunder. For the avoidance of any doubt, any and all disputes relative to the Order Form are governed by the applicable provisions as stated in these Business Terms.

 

3.6 You may not use the Services after your access is suspended or terminated without our written approval. After terminating your access, Built In will retain all rights, including all intellectual property rights, proprietary rights, and licenses retained in these Business Terms, and the limitations upon your use and treatment of the Services will remain in full force.

4.3 If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure, to the extent legally permitted, and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest or otherwise limit the disclosure.

 

4.4 The parties acknowledge that if a party breaches the confidentiality protections hereunder, the non-breaching party shall have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.
