9. Trial period, subscriptions, fees, rebates and payment

The provisions set down in this section apply to Hiring Users only.

Following written agreement you will be automatically enter into a trial period during which you can use the Services. Unless otherwise agreed between us, your trial period will last for sixty (60) days.

If you have not made any hires via the Services at the conclusion of your trial period, and you elect not to take up a subscription, you may either close your account, in which case your account will be cancelled and no fees will be payable, or, you may continue to use the Services on a pay-per-hire basis.

If you have made one or more hires via the Services at the conclusion of your trial period, and you elect not to take up a subscription, you agree to pay a Recruitment Fee for each hire made, after which, you may either close your account or continue to use the Services on a pay-per-hire basis.

If you continue to use the Services on a pay-per-hire basis, a Recruitment Fee shall be payable for each subsequent hire made.

For the purposes of this section, "Recruitment Fee" is a fee calculated as a percentage of the gross salary of the relevant hire made via the Services. Unless otherwise agreed between us prior to the commencement of your trial period, the applicable percentage shall be 15%.

Recruitment Fees incurred:

• During a trial period, shall be invoiced promptly at the end of the trial period; and
• Whilst using the Services on a pay-per-hire basis, shall be invoiced promptly following a signed contract of employment by the candidate

You agree to co-operate in good faith by providing us with the information and details required to calculate Recruitment Fees as required and applicable from time to time.

Except where a Techie has been made redundant, you may be entitled to a replacement hire or refund on the relevant Recruitment Fee, provided it was paid on time in accordance with this section, where the Techie’s employment is terminated within twelve (12) weeks of commencement. Where applicable, refunds shall be paid in accordance with the following scale:

• Where employment is terminated within four (4) weeks of commencement; a 75% refund shall be paid
• Where employment is terminated more than four (4) weeks from, but within eight (8) weeks of, commencement; a refund of 50% shall be paid
• Where employment is terminated more than eight (8) weeks from, but within twelve (12) weeks of, commencement; a refund of 25% shall be paid
• Where employment is terminated more than twelve (12) weeks from commencement; no refund shall be paid

If you elect to take up a subscription at the conclusion of your trial period, you agree to pay a subscription fee which shall be determined by us on the basis of your forecasted hiring, (Subscription Fee). For the avoidance of doubt, if you elect to take up a subscription, you will not also be required to pay a Recruitment Fee in connection with any hires made during your trial period. We will however take the notional value of the Recruitment Fee into consideration, when determining your Subscription Fee. Subscription Fees shall be invoiced annually in advance from the commencement of your subscription.

The initial term of your subscription shall be twelve (12) months and thereafter your subscription shall automatically renew for further periods of twelve (12) months unless either of us delivers a written notice of termination to the other not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the initial term or any applicable renewal term, or, your subscription is otherwise cancelled in accordance with these Terms.

We reserve the right to review and make reasonable adjustments to your Subscription Fee at twelve (12) month intervals from the commencement of your subscription. Any adjustments made shall be notified to you not less than sixty (60) days prior to their coming into effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the conclusion of your trial period, you elect to close your account, or otherwise do not continue to use the Services on either a pay-per-hire or subscription basis, you acknowledge that you will be liable for, and you agree to pay, a Recruitment Fee in connection with any Techies who were introduced to you during your trial period and who are subsequently hired by you within twelve (12) months of the end of your trial period. You must promptly, and in any event within 48 hours of encountering information relating to a particular Techie via the Services, inform us if you believe that you were already aware of the Techie other than via information supplied via the Services. You agree that you will be deemed not to have been aware of the identity of the relevant Techie prior to our provision of information via the Services, if you fail to provide such a notice within the aforementioned 48 hours.

All invoices are payable fourteen (14) days from the relevant invoice date and VAT shall be charged at the prevailing rate as applicable. You are required to make payments to such bank account(s) as we may specify in writing from time to time.

If any amount owed to us under these Terms falls overdue:

• That amount shall bear interest from the due date until payment is made in full, both before and after any judgment, at 2% per annum over the Bank of England base rate from time to time; and
• We may suspend or withdraw provision of the Services to you until all such overdue amounts are paid to us in full.
