Candidate Terms of Service

Last Updated: July 6, 2026

Welcome to Pavago. These Candidate Terms of Service (the “Candidate Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you (“you,” “your,” or the “Candidate”) and Pavago, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company with offices at 3597 E Monarch Sky Ln, Meridian, ID 83646 (“Pavago,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). The Candidate Terms govern your registration with, access to, and use of the Pavago platform, websites, mobile applications, communications, AI tools and agents, screening and assessment features, and related services (collectively, the “Services”), as well as your participation in any process by which Pavago presents you to one or more of its business clients (each, a “Client”) for potential engagement.

By clicking “I Accept,” registering for an account, creating or uploading a profile or résumé, completing any assessment, participating in any AI-conducted or human interview, communicating with Pavago or a Client through the Services, or accepting a placement with a Client introduced through Pavago, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Candidate Terms.

IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: SECTION 16 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION) REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES WITH PAVAGO BY INDIVIDUAL, BINDING ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER FIRST ACCEPTING THESE CANDIDATE TERMS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 16.6.

If you do not agree to these Candidate Terms, do not use the Services. Pavago may update these Candidate Terms from time to time and will provide notice of material changes through the Services or by email; continued use of the Services more than ten (10) days after the posted effective date constitutes acceptance.

1. Eligibility and Account Registration

To use the Services you must (a) be at least 18 years old; (b) be legally authorized to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction; (c) not be barred from using the Services under applicable law or any prior Pavago decision; and (d) provide accurate, current, and complete information about yourself. You may register only one account, which is personal to you and non-transferable. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. You must promptly notify Pavago of any unauthorized access at [email protected].

2. Nature of the Relationship; No Employment by Pavago

Pavago operates a global hiring platform that connects Candidates with Clients. Pavago is not your employer, agent, or representative, and these Candidate Terms do not create an employment, agency, joint-venture, or partnership relationship between you and Pavago. Pavago does not pay you wages, does not control the terms or conditions of any engagement you accept with a Client, and does not guarantee that you will be placed with any Client or receive any particular pay, benefits, or duration of work. Any employment, independent-contractor, or other engagement arises solely between you and the Client (or, where applicable, between you and a third-party employer-of-record provider designated by the Client, such as Plane), under the terms of a separate agreement with that party. Pavago’s sole role is to facilitate the connection and (where Clients elect) to facilitate the engagement of an employer-of-record provider.

You are responsible for understanding and complying with all employment, immigration, tax, professional-licensure, and other legal requirements in your jurisdiction and any jurisdiction in which you provide services to a Client. Pavago does not provide legal, immigration, tax, financial, or career advice.

3. Use of the Services; Candidate Conduct

You agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, in connection with the Services:

provide false, misleading, fraudulent, exaggerated, plagiarized, or AI-fabricated information in any profile, résumé, application, work sample, credential, identification document, reference, or assessment;
impersonate any person or entity, misrepresent your identity, qualifications, work authorization, education, certifications, experience, or location, or use another person’s account, credentials, or identity documents;
use the Services to harvest, scrape, or collect information about Clients, other Candidates, Pavago personnel, or Pavago’s proprietary information for any purpose other than your bona fide job search through Pavago;
use the Services to send spam, harassing, threatening, discriminatory, defamatory, obscene, or unlawful content, or to violate the rights of any other user;
interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any aspect of the Services, Pavago’s systems, or any other user’s account;
use any robot, scraper, automated tool, or generative-AI tool to apply for opportunities, complete assessments, conduct interviews on your behalf, or otherwise interact with the Services, except as expressly permitted by Pavago;
attempt to bypass, circumvent, or defeat any fee, payment, or routing feature of the Services, including by negotiating with Clients to engage you outside of Pavago’s arrangements (see Section 8);
reverse engineer, copy, modify, decompile, or create derivative works of any part of the Services or the AI;
use the Services to violate any applicable law, including any anti-fraud, anti-money-laundering, anti-bribery, export-control, sanctions, privacy, data-protection, or labor law; or
use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Services or interfere with any other party’s use of the Services.

Pavago may, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, refuse, remove, suspend, or terminate any account, profile, application, submission, or content that Pavago determines (or reasonably suspects) violates these Candidate Terms, may harm Pavago or any Client or other Candidate, or is otherwise inappropriate.

4. AI Screening, Assessments, Interviews, and Recording

4.1 AI in the Services

You acknowledge and agree that the Services use artificial intelligence and machine-learning systems (collectively, “AI”) to assist Pavago, AI agents, and Clients with one or more of the following: parsing and structuring your résumé and profile; generating summaries and skill profiles; estimating language proficiency; assessing experience, skills, credentials, fit, and risk; ranking and scoring; conducting initial outreach; conducting structured screening conversations (including by voice, video, chat, or asynchronous video); transcribing communications; recommending candidates; routing your application; and performing other automated tasks. Where required by applicable law, Pavago will provide additional notices and information (including notices of automated employment decision tools, bias audit results, the type of data used, retention practices, and how to request human review or accommodation).

By using the Services, you consent to Pavago’s use of AI in connection with your registration, profile, application, screening, communications, and presentation to Clients, as described above and in the Pavago Privacy Notice. You acknowledge that AI is probabilistic and may be incomplete or inaccurate, and that AI outputs (including scores, rankings, summaries, and assessments) are decision-support tools used by Pavago and Clients in combination with human review. Pavago does not warrant the accuracy, fairness, or completeness of any AI output. Where required by applicable law, you may request human review, an alternative selection process, or reasonable accommodation by contacting [email protected].

4.3 Recording and Transcription

You acknowledge that AI-conducted interviews, screening conversations, voice and video interactions, and certain text-based communications conducted through the Services may be recorded, transcribed, stored, and processed by Pavago and its service providers in order to deliver, document, and improve the Services and to make them available to Clients in connection with hiring decisions. By participating, you consent to such recording, transcription, storage, and processing under applicable federal, state, provincial, and national wiretap, eavesdropping, and consent-to-record laws, including in any jurisdiction that requires the consent of all parties. If you do not consent, you must not participate in the relevant interaction; you may also request a non-recorded human interaction by contacting [email protected].

4.4 Biometric, Voice, and Video Information

Certain Services or assessments may involve the processing of voice recordings, video imagery, and other information that, in some jurisdictions, may be considered biometric data. Where Pavago processes such information in a manner that would constitute the collection of biometric identifiers or biometric information under applicable law (including the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act and similar statutes), Pavago will provide separate written notice and, where required, obtain separate written consent prior to such processing. You may decline any such processing in accordance with the separate notice and select an alternative process or request an accommodation.

4.5 Identity, Background, and Credential Verification

Pavago and its service providers may verify your identity (including through government-issued ID, selfie comparison, work authorization documents, and similar means), credentials, employment history, education, certifications, and (where permitted by law and with any required separate disclosures and authorizations) conduct background, reference, drug-testing, or similar checks for Clients’ benefit. You consent to such verification and authorize Pavago to share the results with Clients considering you for engagement.

4.6 AI Disclaimers

AI OUTPUTS GENERATED BY OR THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE PROBABILISTIC AND ARE PROVIDED TO PAVAGO AND CLIENTS FOR DECISION-SUPPORT PURPOSES. PAVAGO DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, FAIRNESS, NON-BIAS, RELIABILITY, OR SUITABILITY OF ANY AI OUTPUT, AND PAVAGO IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DECISION MADE BY ANY CLIENT, RECRUITER, OR OTHER THIRD PARTY BASED IN WHOLE OR IN PART ON AI OUTPUT.

4.7 AI Inquiry Process

If you have concerns regarding the use of AI in evaluating your candidacy, you may submit an inquiry to [email protected]. Pavago maintains a process through which such inquiries are reviewed and, where appropriate, investigated in cooperation with the relevant Client. Submission of an inquiry does not guarantee any particular outcome or create any additional rights beyond those provided in these Candidate Terms or by applicable law.

5. Your Information and License Grant to Pavago

5.1 What You Provide

In using the Services you will provide Pavago with information about you, including identifying information, contact information, employment and education history, credentials, skills, work samples, references, government identifiers (where required by law), bank or payment information (where applicable to placements), and other Personal Data (as used in these Candidate Terms, "Personal Data" means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to you as an identified or identifiable natural person) (collectively, “Candidate Content”). You represent and warrant that you have the right to provide such Candidate Content and that it is accurate, current, and complete.

5.2 License to Pavago

You grant Pavago and its Affiliates (as used in these Candidate Terms, "Affiliates" means any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Pavago, where "control" means the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests of the entity), contractors, and service providers a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable license to host, store, copy, transmit, process, display, analyze, modify, translate, and create derivative works of your Candidate Content for the following purposes: (a) operating, securing, providing, supporting, and improving the Services; (b) presenting you (and information about you, including AI-generated summaries) to Clients and prospective Clients; (c) facilitating placements and post-placement administration (including, where applicable, sharing information with a third-party employer-of-record provider); (d) communicating with you; (e) developing, training, tuning, evaluating, and improving Pavago’s AI, models, algorithms, datasets, and Services (subject to Section 6); (f) generating Aggregated Data (defined below); (g) marketing the Services; (h) verifying your identity, credentials, and background as described in Section 4.5; and (i) complying with applicable law and enforcing these Candidate Terms. This license survives termination of your account to the extent reasonably necessary for the purposes above and as permitted by applicable law.

5.3 Your Choices and Rights

You may correct or update Candidate Content through your account, request deletion or withdrawal of your profile, opt out of certain communications, or exercise applicable data-subject rights as described in the Pavago Privacy Notice. Pavago will respond to verified requests in accordance with applicable law. Even after deletion, Pavago may retain Aggregated Data, transaction records, communications logs, and other information as permitted by Section 6 or required by law.

6. Aggregated, Deidentified, and Anonymized Data

You acknowledge and agree that Pavago may collect, generate, derive, store, process, use, disclose, and exploit data in aggregated, anonymized, or deidentified form (in each case, in a form that does not identify you or any other natural person) (“Aggregated Data”) from your use of the Services, your Candidate Content, AI inputs and outputs, assessments, recordings, communications, and other information processed in connection with the Services, for any lawful business purpose, including: (a) operating, securing, and improving the Services; (b) developing, training, tuning, evaluating, and improving Pavago’s AI, models, algorithms, datasets, and products; (c) benchmarking, analytics, market research, and trend reporting; (d) product optimization and the development of new features and services; (e) marketing and publication (including in case studies, white papers, and product materials); and (f) sharing with, or licensing to, third parties. As between you and Pavago, Pavago exclusively owns all right, title, and interest in and to Aggregated Data, and you hereby irrevocably assign to Pavago all right, title, and interest (including all intellectual property rights) that you may have in or to Aggregated Data. Pavago’s rights with respect to Aggregated Data survive termination of your account and these Candidate Terms.

You also grant Pavago a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable license to use any feedback, suggestions, comments, or ideas you provide regarding the Services (“Feedback”), without obligation of attribution or compensation, and you agree that Pavago owns all improvements derived from Feedback.

7. Placement, Pay, and Engagements with Clients

7.1 Direct Engagement or EOR

If a Client decides to engage you following an introduction through the Services, the Client may engage you directly under a contract you sign with the Client, or may elect to engage you through a third-party employer-of-record provider. In the latter case, you may sign a separate employment, services, or contractor agreement directly with the employer-of-record provider, which will be your legal employer or contracting counterparty for purposes of payroll, tax, statutory benefits, and employment compliance in your country of residence. Pavago is not a party to that agreement and is not your employer, joint employer, co-employer, or co-contractor. Pavago does not set, pay, withhold, or have responsibility for your compensation, taxes, benefits, leave, hours, or working conditions.

7.2 No Guarantee

Pavago does not guarantee any placement, hiring, ongoing engagement, hours, compensation, or duration of work. Clients may decline to engage you, terminate an engagement, or modify the terms of an engagement at their discretion subject to applicable law.

7.3 Communications

You consent to receive communications from Pavago and from Clients introduced through the Services (including by email, SMS/text, in-app message, and voice/video call) for the purposes of recruitment, screening, scheduling, placement, payroll-related coordination through the employer-of-record provider, and Service updates. Standard message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of non-essential marketing communications using the unsubscribe mechanisms provided.

8. Non-Circumvention

You agree not to evade or circumvent the Services, fees, or arrangements offered through Pavago by entering into an off-platform engagement with a Client (or any affiliate, agent, parent, subsidiary, principal, employee, or contractor of a Client) introduced or sourced to you through the Services for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of the introduction.

9. Intellectual Property

As between you and Pavago, Pavago owns and retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including the AI, AI agents, software, algorithms, models, weights, training data, databases, content, designs, documentation, AI outputs (other than your own Candidate Content), Aggregated Data, and all related intellectual property rights. Pavago may assign or license AI outputs (including AI-generated summaries, scores, assessments, and profiles relating to you) to Clients and you have no ownership interest in those outputs. Pavago grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services solely for your own bona fide job-seeking and engagement purposes, subject to these Candidate Terms. You retain ownership of your Candidate Content, subject to the licenses you grant in Section 5.2.

10. Confidentiality

In the course of using the Services, you may receive non-public information about Pavago, Clients, other Candidates, opportunities, compensation, processes, and methods, including job descriptions, interview questions, proprietary assessments, and AI prompts (collectively, “Confidential Information”). You agree (a) to use Confidential Information only as necessary to participate in the relevant opportunity or engagement; (b) not to disclose Confidential Information to any third party; (c) to take reasonable steps to safeguard Confidential Information; and (d) to promptly return or destroy Confidential Information upon Pavago’s or the Client’s request. Confidential Information does not include information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of yours, was already in your possession without obligation of confidence, or that you independently developed without reference to Confidential Information.

11. Privacy

Pavago’s collection, use, sharing, retention, and protection of your Personal Data is described in the Pavago Privacy Notice, available on the Pavago website, which is incorporated into these Candidate Terms by reference. Where applicable law requires additional notices or specific consents (for example, regarding automated employment decision tools, biometric information, sensitive data, background checks, cross-border transfers, or AI-conducted interviews), Pavago will provide those notices and obtain those consents separately. By using the Services, you acknowledge that your Personal Data may be transferred to, and processed in, the United States and other countries, including jurisdictions whose data-protection laws may differ from those of your country of residence.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT, COMMUNICATIONS, AND OTHER MATERIALS PROVIDED THROUGH THEM ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. PAVAGO EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. PAVAGO DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE; OR THAT ANY CLIENT WILL ENGAGE YOU. PAVAGO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY CLIENT, OTHER CANDIDATE, EMPLOYER-OF-RECORD PROVIDER, OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY.

THE SERVICES MAY INTEROPERATE WITH, OR INCLUDE INTEGRATIONS TO, THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND CONTENT ("THIRD-PARTY SERVICES"), INCLUDING EMPLOYER-OF-RECORD PROVIDERS, PAYMENT PROCESSORS, IDENTITY VERIFICATION PROVIDERS, BACKGROUND CHECK PROVIDERS, AND COMMUNICATIONS PROVIDERS. PAVAGO DOES NOT CONTROL THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACTS, OMISSIONS, BREACHES, FAILURES, OR CHARGES OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE. YOUR USE OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE IS SUBJECT TO THAT PROVIDER'S TERMS AND POLICIES.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PAVAGO AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST WAGES, LOST OPPORTUNITY, LOST GOODWILL, OR LOST DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES, THESE CANDIDATE TERMS, OR ANY PLACEMENT OR INTERACTION WITH A CLIENT, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY. PAVAGO’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE CANDIDATE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) US$100 OR (B) THE AMOUNTS, IF ANY, PAID BY YOU TO PAVAGO IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES; THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY ONLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

14. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Pavago and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and contractors from and against any third-party claim, demand, loss, damage, liability, fine, penalty, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) any breach by you of these Candidate Terms, including any of the prohibited conduct in Section 3 or the non-circumvention obligations in Section 8; (b) any false, misleading, or inaccurate Candidate Content you provide; (c) your violation of any applicable law in connection with your use of the Services or any engagement with a Client; or (d) your acts or omissions in any engagement with a Client. In connection with any such claim, Pavago shall (i) promptly notify you in writing of the claim (provided that a delay in notice will only reduce your obligations to the extent you are materially prejudiced); (ii) give you reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense; and (iii) reasonably cooperate with you at your expense. Pavago retains the right to approve any settlement that requires a non-monetary admission or restriction on Pavago, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

15. Termination and Suspension

You may close your account at any time through the Services or by emailing [email protected]. Pavago may suspend or terminate your account or your access to the Services at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice, including for actual or suspected violation of these Candidate Terms, fraud, security risk, or as required by applicable law. Upon termination, all rights and licenses granted to you cease; provided that Sections 2, 3, 4.6, 5.2, 5.3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, and 18, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive, will survive. Pavago may retain Candidate Content and other information as permitted by Section 6, the Pavago Privacy Notice, or applicable law.

16. Dispute Resolution; Governing Law; Arbitration

16.1 Governing Law

These Candidate Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Nothing in these Candidate Terms deprives you of any non-waivable rights or protections you may have under the mandatory law of your country, state, or province of residence.

16.2 Informal Resolution

Before commencing any formal proceeding, you and Pavago agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Candidate Terms or the Services (each, a “Dispute”) by written notice to [email protected] describing the Dispute and the relief sought. If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the notice, either party may proceed to arbitration as provided below.

16.3 Binding Individual Arbitration

Except as expressly provided in Section 16.5, you and Pavago agree that all Disputes will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or, where the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules do not apply, its Commercial Arbitration Rules). The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator in Ada County, Idaho (or, at your election if you are a consumer, in the county where you reside, or virtually) and may be conducted in English. The arbitrator has the exclusive authority to resolve any threshold issues, including arbitrability, scope, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Pavago will pay AAA filing and administrative fees to the extent required by the AAA’s applicable fee schedule for consumer cases; the parties will otherwise bear their own attorneys’ fees and expenses except as the arbitrator may otherwise award under applicable law.

16.4 Class Action Waiver; Jury Waiver

DISPUTES SHALL BE BROUGHT AND RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND PAVAGO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. IF THIS CLASS-ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF, THEN THAT CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF (AND ONLY THAT CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF) SHALL BE SEVERED AND PROCEED IN COURT, WHILE ALL OTHER CLAIMS PROCEED IN ARBITRATION.

16.5 Equitable Relief; Small-Claims; Carve-Outs

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief or equitable remedies in the state or federal courts located in Ada County, Idaho, to prevent or restrain the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its intellectual property rights, Confidential Information, or rights under Sections 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, in each case pending final resolution of the underlying Dispute through arbitration; (b) either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for any qualifying Dispute; and (c) certain non-waivable rights under the mandatory law of your jurisdiction of residence may be pursued in the forum required by that mandatory law.

16.6 30-Day Right to Opt Out

You may opt out of the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions of Sections 16.3 and 16.4 by sending written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Candidate Terms, with the words “ARBITRATION OPT-OUT” in the subject line, identifying your name, email address, and account. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Candidate Terms. If you opt out, Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Ada County, Idaho, and you and Pavago each consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

16.7 Mandatory Statutes; State and Local Variations

Where mandatory local law in your jurisdiction prohibits pre-dispute consumer arbitration, requires a different forum, or otherwise restricts the application of Sections 16.3 or 16.4, those provisions apply to you only to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. Claims under sexual-harassment or sexual-assault statutes that, by law (including under the federal Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act), are not subject to pre-dispute arbitration may be brought in court at the claimant’s election.

17. International Candidates; Cross-Border Transfers

Pavago’s Services are operated from the United States and made available to Candidates in many countries. You acknowledge that Pavago processes your Personal Data in the United States and other jurisdictions, and you consent to such cross-border transfers and processing as described in the Pavago Privacy Notice and as permitted by applicable law (including, where applicable, the use of Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or other appropriate safeguards). Local-law rights (including under the EU/UK GDPR, the LGPD in Brazil, the PDPA in Singapore, and similar laws) are preserved to the extent required by applicable mandatory law.

18. General Provisions

18.1 Updates to These Candidate Terms

Pavago may update these Candidate Terms from time to time. Pavago will provide notice of material changes through the Services or by email. Continued use of the Services more than ten (10) days after the posted effective date of an update constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to a material update, your sole remedy is to stop using the Services and close your account; provided that Sections 2, 3, 4.6, 5.2, 5.3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, and 18 with respect to events arising before such closure will continue to apply.

18.2 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Candidate Terms without Pavago’s prior written consent. Pavago may assign these Candidate Terms (in whole or in part) at any time, including in connection with any merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. Any prohibited assignment is null and void.

18.3 Severability; No Waiver

If any provision of these Candidate Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the invalid provision will be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. No failure or delay in exercising any right constitutes a waiver.

18.4 Notices

Notices to Pavago must be sent to: Pavago, LLC, 3597 E Monarch Sky Ln, Meridian, ID 83646, with a copy to [email protected]. Notices to you may be sent through the Services or to the email address associated with your account and are deemed given when sent.

18.5 Electronic Communications and Signatures

You consent to receive communications, notices, and disclosures from Pavago electronically and agree that electronic communications and electronic acceptance (including clickwrap) satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing or signed.

18.6 Relationship to Other Agreements

These Candidate Terms govern your use of the Services. Your engagement with any Client (or third-party employer-of-record provider) is governed by separate agreements between you and that party, which are independent of these Candidate Terms. Nothing in these Candidate Terms creates any third-party beneficiary rights in favor of any Client, employer-of-record provider, or other third party.

18.7 Entire Agreement

These Candidate Terms, together with the Pavago Privacy Notice, any Acceptable Use Policy, and any additional notices or consents you separately accept (including under Section 4), constitute the entire agreement between you and Pavago regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject.

18.8 Headings

Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

19. Contact

Questions about these Candidate Terms, requests for human review or accommodation in connection with AI features, biometric or background notices, opt-out elections, privacy-rights requests, and other inquiries may be directed to: Pavago, LLC, 3597 E Monarch Sky Ln, Meridian, ID 83646; email: [email protected].

BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT,” REGISTERING FOR AN ACCOUNT, UPLOADING A PROFILE OR RÉSUMÉ, PARTICIPATING IN ANY ASSESSMENT OR INTERVIEW (INCLUDING AI-CONDUCTED INTERVIEWS), OR OTHERWISE USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE CANDIDATE TERMS, INCLUDING THE AI, RECORDING, NON-CIRCUMVENTION, AND DISPUTE-RESOLUTION PROVISIONS.
