INTRODUCTION

SurePeople permits individuals to complete psychometric or skills assessments, surveys, and questionnaires (each, a "Prism Questionnaire" and, collectively, the "Prism Questionnaires"), to be used by one of our client companies, who may be employers or consultants (each a "Client") and offers the individuals and the Clients access to specific workforce tools, learning & development solutions, content, digital programs, and other services accessible through the Platform, including, but not limited to, people analytics (collectively, the "Service").

SurePeople reserves the right to change this User Agreement or the Service from time to time in its sole discretion by posting such revised terms and conditions on the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform following any such change constitutes your acknowledgment of such change(s) and your agreement to follow and be bound by the modified terms and conditions, if any.

USE OF THE SERVICE

If the Client has referred you to take a Prism Questionnaire on the Platform, then you agree that you are utilizing the Service at the request of and for the benefit of a Client. Then-current employees of the Client and potential employment candidates of the Client may take and provide answers to one or more Prism Questionnaires through the Service, as requested by the Client. After completing the Prism Questionnaires or other surveys or processes, SurePeople will prepare a profile, report, and other analytics based on your responses and potentially those of others solicited through the process with your knowledge and involvement (each a "Prism Portrait"). SurePeople is not responsible, in any way, either for the accuracy of or your (or any Client’s) use of the Prism Portrait so produced. For clarity, you expressly agree that in no event shall SurePeople be deemed responsible for any policies or employment decisions made by the Client (or any other party) directly or indirectly due to the Prism Portrait. By accessing the Platform, you agree not to bring, file, or participate in any claim, suit, or complaint against SurePeople as a result of any hiring or termination decision made by the Client or by any other person, whether facilitated by a Prism Portrait or otherwise.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) TECHNOLOGY

The Service and Materials include proprietary and third party advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning systems, and similar technology and features (together, "AI Technology"), including third party large language models ("LLM"). AI Technology made available in the Service includes the processing of information obtained in responses to a Prism Questionnaire to generate coaching advice. AI Technology is new and evolving. Some AI Technology, including third party LLM made available through the Service, allow users to submit queries or other prompts, and the AI Technology will generate and return to you content, recommendations, data, or other information through the Services ("Output").

You acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the limitations and restrictions set forth in this User Agreement, there are numerous limitations that apply with respect to AI Technology and the Output it generates, including that (i) it may contain errors or misleading information and may not be accurate or reliable; (ii) AI Technology is based on predefined rules and algorithms that lack the ability to think creatively and come up with new ideas and can result in repetitive or formulaic content; (iii) AI Technology can struggle with understanding the nuances of language, including slang, idioms, and cultural references, which can result in Output that is out of context or does not make sense; (iv) AI Technology does not have emotions and cannot understand or convey emotions in the way humans can, which can result in Output that lacks the empathy and emotion that humans are able to convey; (v) AI Technology can perpetuate biases that are present in the data used to train them, which can result in Output that is discriminatory or offensive; (vi) AI Technology can struggle with complex tasks that require reasoning, judgment and decision-making; (vii) AI Technology require large amounts of data to train and generate content, and the data used to train AI Technology may be of poor quality or biased, which will negatively impact the accuracy and quality of the generated Output; and (viii) AI Technology-generated Output can lack the personal touch that comes with content created by humans, which can make it seem cold and impersonal.

You will use independent judgement and discretion before relying on or otherwise using Output. Output is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.

SurePeople bears no liability to you or anyone else arising from or relating to your use of AI Technology or the Output created thereby.

Any payment terms presented to you in the process of obtaining your Membership are deemed part of this User Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference.
  2. Billing. We may collect payments from you directly or we may use a third-party payment processor ("Payment Processor") to bill you through a payment account linked to your account (your "Billing Account") for your Membership. The processing of payments by a Payment Processor will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of such Payment Processor in addition to this User Agreement. We are not responsible for any errors by a Payment Processor. By choosing to purchase a Membership, you agree to pay us, either directly or through a Payment Processor, all Platform Fees and other charges at the prices then in effect and in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize us, through a Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your "Payment Method"). You agree to make payment using your selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that we or a Payment Processor make even if we or a Payment Processor have already requested or received payment.
  3. Payment Method.The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. If we, through a Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.
  4. Recurring Billing.As applicable, the Membership payment terms may consist of an initial period, for which there is a one-time charge, followed by recurring period charges as agreed to by you. By choosing a recurring payment plan, you acknowledge that such Platform Fees have an initial and recurring payment feature and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. WE MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., MONTHLY OR ANNUALLY, DEPENDING ON YOUR SUBSCRIPTION), AS APPLICABLE, WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY US) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE WE REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION OR CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, GO TO ACCOUNT SETTINGS WITHIN THE PLATFORM.
  5. Current Information Required.YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR USER NAME OR PASSWORD. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE WITHIN THE ACCOUNT SETTINGS IN THE PLATFORM. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY SUBSCRIPTION FEES UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AS SET FORTH ABOVE.
  6. Auto-Renewal.The Membership will be automatically extended for (i) successive monthly renewal periods in the event you have purchased a monthly Membership or (ii) successive 12 month periods in the event you have purchased either an annual or 24-month Membership. In the case of an annual or 24-month Membership, we will notify you by email at least thirty (30) days prior to such automatic extension taking effect. To change or terminate your Membership, go to Account settings within the Platform. If you terminate your Membership, you may continue to use your Membership until the end of your then-current term and your Membership will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you won’t be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Platform Fee paid for the then-current subscription period. If you do not want to continue to be charged on a recurring basis, you must cancel or terminate your Membership before the end of the then-current term. Your Membership cannot be terminated before the end of the period for which you have already paid, and except as expressly provided in these terms, SurePeople will not refund any amounts that you have already paid.
  7. Reaffirmation of Authorization.Your non-termination or continued use of your Subscription reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method for that Subscription. We may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance or as otherwise described when you initially selected to purchase the Subscription.
