You agree that the potential job candidates viewed through the HS platform are the third-party beneficiaries through your use of the Service.

If you are a free subscriber for the Services, or are accessing the Services to use a Trial (defined as use of the services in any non-standard, limited basis), or are otherwise browsing, this Agreement is between HS and you, individually (“Free Subscriber”). A Free Subscriber can have only one account with a free trial. Any account created after the first account will be charged based on the current HS rates, and such user can no longer utilize a free trial. Upon canceling the subscription, the Services will be terminated at the end of the billing cycle in which you canceled the subscription. If Free Subscriber has registered to use Service on a trial basis, then Individual Subscriber may use such Services only for noncommercial evaluation purposes during the applicable trial period.

7.1 Confidential Information. Each Party (the “Disclosing Party”) may from time to time during the term of this Agreement disclose to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) certain non-public, commercially proprietary or sensitive information, whether or not designated as “confidential” or “proprietary” or similar designation, that relates to the past, present or future business activities of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or their respective employees, customers or third party suppliers or contractors, including technical, marketing, financial, employee, planning, and other confidential and proprietary information (“Confidential Information”).

7.2 Duty of Care. The Receiving Party will hold such Confidential Information in trust and confidence for the Disclosing Party and, except as set forth in this Agreement or as otherwise may be authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, will not disclose such information to any person, firm or enterprise. The Receiving Party will not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement, and will treat all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party with the same degree of care that the Receiving Party treats its own confidential or proprietary information, but in no event less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party's employees, and to any of the Receiving Party's contractors who are bound to the Receiving Party by confidentiality obligations substantially equivalent to those set forth in this Section, solely as required in order for the Receiving Party to perform under this Agreement, or in the case of you, as and to the extent necessary for the conduct of its business or to the extent necessary for performance of services for you.

(d) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to any Confidential Information.

7.4 The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if required to do so under applicable law, rule or order, provided that the Receiving Party, where reasonably practicable and to the extent legally permissible, provides the Disclosing Party with prior written notice of the required disclosure so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, and provided further that the Receiving Party discloses no more Confidential Information of the disclosing Party than is reasonably necessary in order to respond to the required disclosure. If at any time either Party discloses Confidential Information of the other Party after being compelled to do so under applicable law, rule or order, the Information so disclosed will nevertheless still be considered Confidential Information under this Agreement after the disclosure is made, and the Parties shall continue to treat it as such.

7.5 Return of Confidential Information. Each party may retain copies of the Confidential Information, as applicable, to the extent required to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Such Confidential Information, as applicable, will remain subject to the terms and conditions herein. Otherwise, at the request and option of the Disclosing Party, or in the event of termination or expiration of this Agreement (or any part thereof), the Receiving Party agrees to promptly: (a) return to the Disclosing Party the Confidential Information (and in the case of you as the Disclosing Party, all documentation, specifications, and data related to the Agreement, even if not Confidential Information); or (b) destroy or permanently erase on all forms of recordation the Confidential Information and, if requested by the Disclosing Party, acknowledge in writing that all such Confidential Information has been destroyed or permanently erased.
