Fursa Terms

By using Fursa Hire, submitting a hiring request, reviewing candidates introduced by Fursa, or otherwise engaging Fursa for hiring services, you agree to these Fursa Hire Terms.

1) Who we are

Fursa is operated by Polynomial Studio Company. In these Fursa Hire Terms, “Fursa,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Polynomial Studio Company and its products and services.

You can contact us at: [email protected]

2) Fursa Hire

Fursa Hire helps companies find, evaluate, and connect with talent.

Fursa Hire may include:

• role intake,
• search strategy,
• candidate sourcing,
• candidate research,
• AI-assisted matching,
• candidate screening,
• shortlist preparation,
• candidate introductions,
• market mapping support,
• interview coordination support,
• compensation and role research, and
• related recruiting or talent services.

The exact services, scope, fees, timelines, and deliverables may be described in a proposal, order form, email confirmation, invoice, product page, or written agreement.

3) Client responsibilities

If you use Fursa Hire as an employer, company, hiring manager, recruiter, founder, or client, you are responsible for:

• providing accurate role requirements,
• providing accurate company and compensation information,
• reviewing candidates independently,
• conducting interviews,
• verifying candidate qualifications,
• conducting reference checks where needed,
• conducting background checks where legally permitted and appropriate,
• confirming work authorization and visa requirements,
• making final hiring decisions,
• issuing employment offers,
• complying with employment, labor, immigration, privacy, and anti-discrimination laws, and
• ensuring your hiring process is lawful, fair, and job-related.

Fursa may assist with search, research, screening, matching, and introductions, but final hiring decisions remain entirely your responsibility.

4) No guarantee of hire

Fursa does not guarantee that you will hire a candidate, that any candidate will accept an offer, or that any hire will meet your expectations.

Fursa also does not guarantee candidate availability, candidate interest, compensation acceptance, visa eligibility, interview performance, employment performance, retention, or cultural fit.

Hiring outcomes depend on many factors outside Fursa’s control, including the role, compensation, company reputation, interview process, speed of decision-making, market conditions, and candidate preferences.

5) AI and automated systems

Fursa may use AI, machine learning, automation, and software systems to support candidate search, matching, research, screening, summarization, ranking, workflow support, and market analysis.

AI-generated or AI-assisted outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated. You should independently evaluate candidates and should not make employment decisions solely based on Fursa outputs.

Fursa does not make final employment decisions on behalf of clients.

6) Candidate introductions

A candidate is considered introduced by Fursa if Fursa directly or indirectly provides, shares, identifies, refers, presents, submits, recommends, or connects the candidate to you or your affiliates.

An introduction may include sharing a candidate’s name, profile, resume, CV, LinkedIn profile, contact information, work history, candidate brief, shortlist entry, email, message, or other identifying information.

A candidate is also considered introduced if Fursa arranges or facilitates a call, meeting, interview, conversation, or other interaction between you and the candidate.

Candidate introductions are role-specific and part of a recruiting service. Fursa does not sell or license unrestricted access to a candidate database.

7) Introduction ownership period

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, an introduced candidate remains attributable to Fursa for 12 months from the date of first introduction.

If you or your affiliates hire, engage, contract with, employ, retain, or otherwise work with an introduced candidate during the 12-month ownership period, the applicable success fee is due to Fursa.

This applies even if the candidate is hired for a different role, department, location, entity, contract type, or engagement type from the original role.

8) Prior knowledge of candidates

If you believe a candidate introduced by Fursa was already known to you before Fursa’s introduction, you must notify Fursa in writing within 3 business days of the introduction.

You must provide reasonable written evidence that the candidate was already in an active hiring process with you before Fursa’s introduction.

If you do not notify Fursa within 3 business days, the candidate will be treated as introduced by Fursa.

A candidate merely existing in your database, applicant tracking system, LinkedIn network, email history, or previous applicant pool does not automatically mean the candidate was already known for the relevant role.

9) Fees

Fees for Fursa Hire may include fixed fees, kickoff fees, retainers, success fees, project fees, subscription fees, or other charges.

The applicable fees will be described in a proposal, order form, email confirmation, invoice, product page, or written agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all fees are quoted in USD and are exclusive of taxes, bank charges, payment processing fees, and similar charges.

10) Success fee

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, a success fee is due when a candidate introduced by Fursa accepts an offer from you or your affiliates.

The success fee applies whether the candidate is hired as a full-time employee, part-time employee, contractor, consultant, advisor, freelancer, temporary worker, or under another paid working arrangement.

The success fee also applies if the candidate is hired by an affiliated, related, parent, subsidiary, successor, portfolio, or associated entity.

11) Payment

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, invoices are payable within 7 days of the invoice date.

You agree to pay all applicable fees on time and without set-off or deduction.

If payment is late, Fursa may suspend services, pause active searches, withhold candidate introductions, charge reasonable collection costs, and pursue any available remedies.

You are responsible for any applicable taxes, duties, bank charges, wire fees, payment processing fees, withholding taxes, or similar charges.

12) Refunds and replacements

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, fees paid to Fursa are non-refundable.

Any replacement guarantee, refund right, credit, or free replacement search applies only if expressly agreed in writing.

If a replacement guarantee is agreed, it will be subject to the conditions, time period, and exclusions stated in the relevant proposal, order form, or written agreement.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, no replacement or refund applies if:

• the candidate resigns because the role, compensation, location, working model, reporting line, or responsibilities materially changed,
• the candidate is terminated due to restructuring, redundancy, budget changes, business closure, misconduct by the client, or reasons unrelated to candidate suitability,
• the client failed to disclose material information about the role or company,
• the client breached these Fursa Hire Terms,
• the client has unpaid invoices, or
• the client does not notify Fursa promptly.

13) Non-circumvention

You may not avoid, bypass, delay, or reduce fees owed to Fursa by contacting, hiring, engaging, contracting with, or transferring an introduced candidate through another person, entity, affiliate, recruiter, vendor, platform, or related arrangement.

You may not refer an introduced candidate to another company, affiliate, investor, portfolio company, client, partner, or related party for hiring or engagement without Fursa’s written permission.

If such a referral results in a hire or engagement during the ownership period, the applicable success fee remains payable to Fursa.

14) Candidate communication

Unless otherwise agreed, Fursa may communicate with candidates as part of the hiring process.

You agree to treat candidates professionally, respectfully, and lawfully.

You must not misrepresent the role, compensation, company, location, work authorization requirements, hiring process, or employment terms.

You must promptly notify Fursa if a candidate progresses, is rejected, receives an offer, accepts an offer, starts employment, or exits the process.

15) Confidentiality

Each party may receive confidential information from the other party, including business information, hiring plans, candidate information, compensation details, strategy, processes, technical information, client information, and non-public commercial information.

Each party agrees to use confidential information only for the purpose of providing or receiving Fursa Hire and to protect it using reasonable care.

You must not share candidate information with third parties except as needed for your internal hiring process and only with people who need access.

Confidentiality obligations do not apply to information that is publicly available, already lawfully known, independently developed, or lawfully received from a third party without restriction.

16) Candidate data and privacy

Fursa may process candidate information to provide Fursa Hire, including sourcing, matching, screening, communication, candidate presentation, introductions, and hiring workflow support.

Candidate information shared through Fursa Hire is shared for a specific search or hiring process. Fursa Hire is a recruiting service, not an unrestricted candidate database license.

You agree to use candidate information only for lawful hiring-related purposes connected to the relevant role or search.

You must not use candidate information for spam, unrelated marketing, unlawful discrimination, harassment, resale, scraping, bulk talent pooling unrelated to the relevant search, profiling unrelated to the hiring process, or any purpose not connected to the relevant role or hiring process.

If you provide candidate information to Fursa, you represent that you have the right to do so and that your collection and sharing of that information complies with applicable law.

Fursa’s handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

17) Compliance and anti-discrimination

You are responsible for complying with all applicable employment, labor, immigration, privacy, equal opportunity, and anti-discrimination laws.

You must not use Fursa Hire to make unlawful employment decisions or to discriminate against candidates based on protected characteristics under applicable law.

You agree that role requirements, screening criteria, interview processes, and hiring decisions must be lawful, job-related, and consistent with applicable employment rules.

Fursa may refuse, suspend, or terminate services if we believe a hiring request, role requirement, instruction, or client action is unlawful, discriminatory, misleading, abusive, unsafe, or harmful.

18) No employment relationship

Fursa is an independent service provider.

Nothing in these Fursa Hire Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, franchise, or fiduciary relationship between Fursa and you.

Candidates introduced by Fursa are not employees, contractors, agents, or representatives of Fursa unless expressly stated in writing.

You are solely responsible for any employment or contractual relationship you enter into with a candidate.

19) Service changes and refusal

Fursa may accept, reject, pause, modify, or discontinue a hiring search at our discretion.

We may refuse to work on roles that we believe are unlawful, misleading, discriminatory, abusive, unethical, unsafe, unrealistic, outside our scope, or likely to harm Fursa, candidates, or third parties.

We may also pause or stop services if you fail to provide required information, delay the hiring process, fail to pay invoices, misuse candidate information, or breach these Fursa Hire Terms.

20) Intellectual property

Fursa owns its software, data systems, search methods, workflows, candidate research processes, templates, candidate summaries, shortlists, ranking systems, AI workflows, and related materials.

You may use candidate summaries, shortlists, and related materials provided by Fursa only for your internal hiring process.

You may not copy, resell, redistribute, publish, train models on, or commercially exploit Fursa materials without written permission.

21) Publicity

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Fursa may identify you as a client using your name and logo in a factual client list, website, case study, or marketing material.

If you do not want your name or logo used, you may notify us at [email protected].

22) Disclaimers

Fursa Hire is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fursa disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of accuracy, availability, candidate suitability, candidate performance, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and reliability.

Fursa does not warrant that any candidate will be available, qualified, interested, suitable, truthful, successful, retained, or legally eligible for employment or engagement.

23) Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fursa and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, agents, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost opportunities, loss of goodwill, hiring delays, business interruption, or employment-related claims.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to Fursa Hire will not exceed the amount you paid to Fursa for the specific Fursa Hire service giving rise to the claim in the three months before the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

24) Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Fursa and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, agents, and licensors from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from:

• your use of Fursa Hire,
• your hiring decisions,
• your employment or contractor relationships,
• your violation of these Fursa Hire Terms,
• your violation of applicable law,
• your misuse of candidate information,
• information you provide to Fursa,
• claims by candidates relating to your hiring process, employment process, offer, rejection, workplace, or engagement, or
• your infringement or violation of another person’s rights.

25) Changes to these Fursa Hire Terms

We may update these Fursa Hire Terms from time to time.

If we make material changes, we may notify users by updating the date above, posting a notice, sending an email, or using another reasonable method.

Your continued use of Fursa Hire after the updated Fursa Hire Terms become effective means you accept the updated Fursa Hire Terms.

26) Governing law and disputes

These Fursa Hire Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law rules.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Fursa Hire Terms or Fursa Hire will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, United States, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
