SHL Terms and Conditions 

Last Updated: 6 June 2023

 

These SHL Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern the license and use of SHL Products and Services. These Terms, including the SHL Products and Services Schedule, together with any Order, constitute the valid, complete and binding contract between Company and SHL (the “Agreement”). If there is any conflict between the Terms and Order, the Order shall prevail for the Products and Services in that Order. All capitalized terms are defined in the Definitions section below.  

1. Purchase and Fees

1.1 Order. The Terms govern each Order, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Each Order will contain: (i) the Products and Services purchased by Company; (ii) the Fees and payment schedule; (iii) the Order Term; and (iv) any other transaction-specific terms and conditions. An Order is binding upon the earliest to occur of the date: (a) Company is provided access to and uses the Products and/or Services; (b) SHL issues a written acknowledgment to Company; or (c) the Order is signed by the parties. Products and Services are deemed accepted upon delivery unless otherwise stated in the Order. For certain Products and/or Services, electronic or phone purchases may be agreed between the parties and will be deemed to be Orders and subject to these Terms. SHL may offer Company the opportunity to trial new Products or Services (“Try and Buy Product”). These Terms will apply to any trial of Try and Buy Products, regardless of any master agreement in place with the Company. In the event Company proceeds to purchase a Try and Buy Product, the relevant terms in place with Company will apply. 
1.2 Fees. Company shall pay all Fees as specified in the Order. Unless otherwise stated in the Order: (i) Fees are quoted and payable in the currency set out in the Order or United States Dollars where no currency is stated; (ii) Fees are based on Products and Services purchased and not actual usage; (iii) except for Company’s termination for cause defined below, all Products and Services are non-cancellable and Fees are non-refundable; (iv) professional services Fees exclude travel and related expenses and will be charged back to Company; and (v) payment shall not be contingent upon SHL’s receipt of Company’s purchase order documentation.  
1.3 Invoicing. Unless otherwise stated in an Order, Fees are payable by Company within thirty (30) days of the date of invoice. If any portion of an invoice is disputed, Company will pay the undisputed amounts in full and the parties will reconcile the disputed amount in good faith as soon as possible. Late payments: (i) will bear interest at a rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum rate allowed by law; and/or (ii) may result in the withholding or suspension of Products and/or Services. 
1.4 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, levies, and duties. Company shall pay all sales, use, duties, and other taxes including, without limitation, Value Added Taxes (VAT) or Goods and Services Taxes (GST) that are lawfully imposed (and for which no exemption is available). If SHL pays any such taxes on behalf of Company, then Company shall reimburse SHL for such payments. If Company is required to withhold and pay tax on any amount payable to SHL under the Order, Company will deliver to SHL the original tax receipt or other proof of payment. Upon request, each party shall provide reasonable support and shall execute and deliver any documents that the other party deems necessary or desirable in connection with any exemption or reduction of, or the contestation of or the defence against, any taxes. 

2. Ownership and Intellectual Property 

2.1 Company Property. Company shall retain exclusive ownership of all rights, title and interest in and to all Company Property.  
2.2 Products and/or Services Licenses. Upon full payment of Fees, SHL grants Company: (i) ownership of any Output, which Company may download, copy, distribute, modify and create derivative works of, subject to SHL Group retaining ownership of all underlying SHL Intellectual Property Rights in the Output; (ii) a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, perpetual license to use the SHL Property contained in the Output; and (iii) a non-transferable, non-exclusive license for the Order Term to use the Products and Services in the Territory solely for Company’s internal purposes. SHL reserves all rights not expressly granted hereunder.  
2.3. SHL Property. Company will not at any time: (i) challenge SHL Group’s rights, title and interests in and to the SHL Property or the validity of any SHL Intellectual Property Rights; (ii) take any action or engage in any inaction which would impair or tend to impair the SHL Property; or (iii) directly or indirectly develop or assist in developing competing products or services to SHL’s. 
2.4 Aggregated Research Data and Benchmarking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Company authorizes SHL Group to collect and compile data, insights and information from Company Property in an aggregated and anonymized manner for purposes of assessment validation, research and development and creating or updating Benchmarks (“Aggregated Research Data”).  As between SHL Group and Company, all right, title, and interest in Aggregated Research Data, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, belong to and are retained solely by SHL Group.  SHL restricts access to Aggregated Research Data to SHL personnel involved in research and/or development supporting or related to SHL Products and/or Services.  Aggregated Research Data will not identify Company or Company’s Confidential Information, whether directly or indirectly. 

3. Data Protection 

3.1 Protection of Personal Data. Both parties shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations and this Agreement related to the collection, processing, use and storage of Personal Data.

3.2 Data Processing Addendum. The terms of the Global Data Processing Addendum  (“DPA”) are hereby incorporated. To the extent Personal Data from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland are processed by SHL, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall apply, as further set forth in the DPA. For the purposes of the Standard Contractual Clauses, Company and its applicable Affiliates are each the data exporter, and Company's acceptance of this Agreement, and an applicable Affiliate's execution of an Order Form, shall be treated as its execution of the Standard Contractual Clauses and Appendices. Upon request by Company made within 30 days after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, SHL will make Company Personal Data available to Company for export or download.  After such 30-day period, SHL will have no obligation to maintain or provide any Company Personal Data, and thereafter may delete or destroy all copies of Company Personal Data in its systems or otherwise in its possession or control, unless legally prohibited. 

4. Indemnification

4.5 SHL will indemnify an Indemnified Party from and against any and all direct damages incurred by the Indemnified Party arising from any Claim that damage caused by SHL’s processing of Personal Data, has arisen as a result of SHL’s failure to comply with applicable data protection laws and/or SHL acting outside of, or contrary to, the lawful processing instructions of Company.  For the purposes of this section, the following damages shall be considered recoverable direct damages: (i) reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Company to investigate and repair damage to Personal Data; (ii) any costs incurred by Company in connection with legally-mandated notices; (iii) fines, penalties and interest assessed against Company due to the breach; and (iv) reasonable attorneys’ fees.
