When registering with us, we may require you to provide us information such as your name, e-mail address, employment history, work experience and skill set.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to accept or reject your registration to use the Service. If your registration is accepted, you will be allowed to use our Service. It is your responsibility to comply with any laws, such as immigration or other laws, that may be applicable to you.
Remotus is free for Prospective Employees. A Prospective Employee is required to promptly notify Remotus if the Prospective Employee (a) accepts an offer of employment (an “Employment Offer”), whether for an indefinite or fixed term, (b) accepts an offer of employment as a contractor or consultant (a “Consulting Offer”), whether for an indefinite or fixed term (each, a “Consulting Engagement”), (c) accepts an Employment Offer or a Consulting Engagement during or within twelve (12) months after termination of an Internship of any duration, with (1) an Employer who was identified by the Prospective Employee through the use of our Site or Service or (2) from an Employer who identified the Prospective Employee through the use of our Site or Service; or (d) accepts an Employment Offer made by an Employer during or within twelve (12) months after termination of a Consulting Engagement with such Employer (each, a “Covered Offer”). For the purposes hereof, an Internship shall refer to an opportunity for a Prospective Employee to work, as an intern or pursuant to a co-op arrangement, for an Employer for a fixed period of time to assess job skills and shall only apply to Prospective Employees that are enrolled in college or graduate school, or who have graduated from college or graduate school in the past 6 months.
If you are a Prospective Employee who is using our Service, you agree that (1) if you receive a Covered Offer, you shall promptly notify Remotus of your start date of employment (the “Start Date”) and the key terms of such Covered Offer (and notify Remotus promptly should that Start Date or offer terms change at any time), (2) you shall provide Remotus with (a) a copy of a fully executed Covered Offer, or (b) execute a document between Employer, Remotus and Prospective Employee that states material employment terms, including, among other things, Start Date and compensation, promptly upon the signing of a Covered Employment offer letter between you and such Prospective Employee (the “Effective Date”), as requested by Remotus, and (3) you will promptly notify Remotus after termination of your employment as an employee, intern, coop employee, consultant or contractor (“Employment”) in the event that (a) an Employer terminates your Employment based on unsatisfactory performance within ninety (90) days of the date on which your Employment commenced, or (b) you voluntarily terminate your Employment within ninety (90) days of the date on which your Employment commenced. In the event that before the Start Date, either Employer or Prospective Employee elect not to begin the employment relationship contemplated by the Covered Offer, Prospective Employee shall promptly notify Remotus.
For Employers
In the case of an Employment engagement, the Employer shall pay a Success Fee equal to 15% of the Prospective Employee’s first year base salary (an “Upfront Success Fee”), which amount shall be due and payable thirty (30) days after the Start Date.
In the case of a Consulting Engagement, the Employer shall pay a Success Fee equal to 15% of the compensation to be paid for the period of such Consulting Engagement (an “Upfront Success Fee”), which amount shall be due and payable thirty (30) days after the Start Date, and if the Consulting Engagement is for an indefinite period and/or there is no fixed fee for the Engagement, 15% of the compensation paid in each month (a “Monthly Success Fee”), commencing on the Start Date, for as long as the Consulting Engagement continues.
Employers are required to promptly notify Remotus once a Prospective Employee has accepted a Covered Offer and notify Remotus of the Start Date for such Prospective Employee (including prompt notification of any subsequent changes in such Start Date.) Employers shall provide Remotus with (1) a copy of a fully executed Covered Offer, or (2) execute a document between Employer, Remotus and Prospective Employee that states material employment terms, including, among other things, Start Date and compensation promptly upon the Effective Date. In the event that before the Start Date, either Employer or Prospective Employee elect not to begin the employment relationship contemplated by the Covered Offer, Employer shall promptly notify Remotus and the Prospective Employee shall not be eligible for any Prospective Employee Payment.
The Employer will owe Remotus a Success Fee for any Covered Offer which is accepted by a Prospective Employee, as defined above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Success Fee dispute, if an Employer can establish that the Employer had an Active Process (as defined below) with the Prospective Employee before using the Service (e.g., the Prospective Employee had already begun the interview process with the Employer and such process had not been terminated, or the Employer had received the Prospective Employee’s resume from an employment agency or headhunter and was under active consideration by the Employer), the Employer may be exempted from paying the Success Fee. However, the final determination as to whether a Success Fee is owed by the Employer for an accepted Covered Offer will be at the sole discretion of Remotus. For the purposes hereof, “Active Process” shall mean continuous direct, back and forth communication, in an active recruiting or hiring context where a decision to put a candidate on hold or reject has not been made, within the three (3) months prior to using the Service for a Prospective Employee that exists in Employer’s applicant tracking system or that was submitted by a recruiting agency.
IF YOU ARE AN EMPLOYER WHO IS using our Service, YOU agree to these Success Fee provisions. If you do not agree with any of these provisions, please terminate your account immediately and cease using Remotus. YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY ANY SUCCESS FEES SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT.
If an Employer circumvents our Service after discovering a Prospective Employee through our Service and subsequently hires that Prospective Employee, the Employer will be billed a success fee equal to 25% of the 1st year base salary of the Prospective Employee and Remotus may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Employer’s account.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT REMOTUS DOES NOT INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUNDS OF ITS USERS OR ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THE STATEMENTS OF ITS USERS (ALTHOUGH IT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT ANY BACKGROUND CHECK OR OTHER SCREENINGS AT ANY TIME USING AVAILABLE PUBLIC RECORDS), AND THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDUCTING ANY BACKGROUND CHECKS, REFERENCE CHECKS, OR OTHER DUE DILIGENCE THAT YOU MAY REQUIRE BEFORE MAKING AN OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT TO A PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYEE.
The Employer agrees not to attempt to circumvent our Site and Service by independently attempting to communicate with and hire the Prospective Employee through alternative means after discovering the Prospective Employee on our Service.
Payment
Employer agrees to pay the Success Fees charged to Employer’s account in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time the Success Fee is due and payable hereunder.
Changes in Fees and Billing Methods
Remotus reserves the right at any time to change its fees (including to begin charging for services that it is currently providing free of charge) and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Site or by email delivery to you.
Refunds
At Remotus we value our customer’s satisfaction in using our Site and Service to hire great Prospective Employees. If (a) an Employer hires a Prospective Employee and terminates the Prospective Employee’s employment based on unsatisfactory performance within ninety (90) days of the Start Date, or (b) a Prospective Employee voluntarily terminates his or her employment within ninety (90) days of the Start Date, or (c) Prospective Employee does not start employment because either Employer or Prospective Employer elects not to begin the employment relationship contemplated in the Covered Offer (each, a “Termination Event”), upon written receipt and confirmation of such information, Remotus will fully refund to the Employer the Upfront Success Fee related to the terminating Prospective Employee (if such Upfront Success Fee was paid by Employer prior to the Termination Event).
