Terms and Conditions

Revised and posted as of July 28, 2026.

1. Introduction & Acceptance

These Terms of Service, also referred to as the Terms of Agreement ("Terms," "Agreement"), are entered into between Hire Arena Inc., operating under the brand name "Talents Arena" ("Talents Arena," "we," "us," or "our"), and the person or entity accessing or using our platform ("you," "User"). Talents Arena provides an AI-powered talent management and hiring platform, including the Talent Studio suite, Talent Bot, Talent Link, psychometric and technical assessments, and the AI Sourcing & Matching Engine that powers our Managed Hiring Cycle, collectively with any related websites, applications, and services, the "Services."

This Agreement applies to two categories of Users, each of which is addressed in dedicated sections below because their rights and obligations differ materially: "Clients" — companies, organizations, and their authorized representatives who engage Talents Arena to source, screen, assess, and hire talent, or who subscribe to Talent Studio, Talent Bot, Talent Link, assessments, outsourcing/EOR, consultation, or Tech Lab services. "Candidates" — individuals who create a profile on the Talents Arena candidate portal to be discovered, matched, and considered for job opportunities with Clients.

By creating an account, building a candidate profile, signing an Order Form, Commercial Proposal, or Master Subscription Agreement that references this Agreement, or by otherwise accessing or using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity, and "Client" or "you" will refer to that entity.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.

This Agreement was last updated on [Insert Publication Date]. We may update it from time to time as described in Section 17.2 (Changes to These Terms). Material changes will be communicated to Clients by email or in-platform notice, and to Candidates by in-platform notice, ahead of taking effect.

2. Definitions

AI Sourcing & Matching Engine: the proprietary technology through which Talents Arena identifies, scores, and ranks candidates against a role using three matching pillars — Skill Fit, Culture Fit, and Industry Fit.

Candidate Data: any information a Candidate submits to build or maintain a candidate profile, including CV/resume content, work history, education, skills, assessment results, and communications made through the Services.

Charges: the fees payable by a Client for the Services, as set out in the applicable Order Form, Commercial Proposal, or Master Subscription Agreement.

Client Data: any data, in any format, that a Client or its authorized Users submit to, or generate through, the Services, excluding Candidate Data and Service Data.

Confidential Information: non-public information disclosed by one party to the other, whether marked confidential or reasonably understood to be confidential given its nature, including Client Data, Candidate Data, pricing, proposals, and product or business information.

Managed Hiring Cycle: the full-service hiring journey through which the AI Sourcing & Matching Engine surfaces passive, AI-matched candidates, which the Talents Arena team then screens and interviews to convert into active, interview-ready candidates delivered to the Client.

Order Form: a signed proposal, subscription order, statement of work, or invoice referencing this Agreement that sets out the specific Services, package, and Charges purchased by a Client.

Output: any score, ranking, recommendation, report, or other result generated by the AI Sourcing & Matching Engine, Talent Bot, or psychometric assessments.

Service Data: de-identified, aggregated, or usage data generated through operation of the Services that does not identify a specific Client or Candidate.

Subscription Period: the initial term of a Client's subscription as stated in the applicable Order Form, and each renewal term thereafter.

Other capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meaning given to them where they first appear.

3. Our Services

3.1 Platform Overview

Talents Arena operates an AI-powered talent intelligence platform spanning: Talent Studio, our flagship talent data and workforce intelligence layer; Talent Bot, an AI hiring/HR assistant; Talent Link, our sourcing and aggregation tool; psychometric and technical assessments; AI Hiring Services delivered through the Managed Hiring Cycle; Outsourcing & EOR, Consultation, and CTO-as-a-Service offerings; and Tech Lab, our software development arm. The specific Services made available to a given Client depend on the package or scope agreed in the applicable Order Form.

3.2 For Clients

Clients use the Services to define hiring needs, review AI-matched and Talents Arena-vetted candidates, manage interviews and offers, run assessments, and, where subscribed, access broader workforce intelligence, org design, and skill-gap analytics through Talent Studio.

3.3 For Candidates

Candidates use the candidate portal to create a profile, which may include uploading a CV, describing work history and skills, and completing assessments. Candidate profiles are used by the AI Sourcing & Matching Engine to identify potential matches against roles that Clients are hiring for. Section 6 sets out the terms specific to Candidates in full.

3.4 The Managed Hiring Cycle

Our core differentiator is the Managed Hiring Cycle: the AI Sourcing & Matching Engine identifies passive, AI-matched candidates across our talent pool and connected sourcing channels; our team then screens and interviews those candidates before delivering interview-ready candidates to the Client. Talents Arena remains engaged with the Client throughout this process — we do not simply hand off a shortlist and step back.

3.5 AI Sourcing, Beta Features & No Guarantee of Outcome

Output generated by the AI Sourcing & Matching Engine, Talent Bot, or psychometric assessments is probabilistic in nature and is provided to assist, not replace, human decision-making. Talents Arena does not guarantee that any Client will identify, interview, hire, or retain any particular Candidate, nor that any Candidate will be presented with or receive any job opportunity, interview, or offer. From time to time we may make new features available in beta, pilot, or limited-release form; such features are provided for evaluation purposes, may be changed or discontinued at any time, and are provided without the warranties set out in Section 12.

4. Eligibility & Account Registration

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction if higher, and capable of entering into a binding agreement to use the Services. Candidates and Client Users must provide accurate, current, and complete information when registering, and are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and for all activity that occurs under their account. You must notify us promptly at info@talentsarena.net of any unauthorized use of your account.

5. Client Terms

5.1 Subscription, Packages & Order Forms

Each Client's access to the Services is governed by an applicable Order Form, Commercial Proposal, or Master Subscription Agreement, which sets out the package (e.g., Sourcing, Standard, Pro, Premium, or Enterprise), Charges, and Subscription Period. Unless stated otherwise in the Order Form, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive periods equal to the initial Subscription Period unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the end of the then-current term.

5.2 Client Obligations

Use the Services only for lawful recruitment, hiring, and workforce-management purposes, and in compliance with applicable labor, employment, equal-opportunity, and anti-discrimination laws in the jurisdictions in which the Client operates or hires.

Not share login credentials between individual Users, and promptly notify Talents Arena of any suspected unauthorized access.

Ensure that any job descriptions, company information, or other content submitted to the Services is accurate and does not infringe the rights of any third party.

Not attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or systematically extract data from the Services, including Candidate Data made available through the platform, other than for the Client's own internal hiring purposes.

Conduct independent human review before making any final hiring decision, and not rely on Output as the sole or determinative basis for any employment decision (see Section 11).

5.3 Client Data

As between Talents Arena and the Client, the Client retains ownership of Client Data. Talents Arena will process Client Data solely to provide the Services and as described in our Privacy Policy, and will apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect it.

6. Candidate Portal Terms

6.1 Candidate Profile & Consent to Be Matched

By creating a candidate profile, you consent to Talents Arena processing your Candidate Data to operate and improve the AI Sourcing & Matching Engine, match your profile against open roles on behalf of Clients, share relevant elements of your profile with Clients for whom our team has identified you as a potential match as part of the Managed Hiring Cycle, and contact you regarding potential opportunities, screening, or interviews. You represent that the information in your candidate profile is accurate, current, and either your own or information you are authorized to submit.

6.2 Candidate Conduct

You will not submit false, misleading, or another person's information as your own.

You will not use the candidate portal to spam, solicit, or scrape data relating to other Candidates or Clients.

You will keep your profile reasonably up to date and may edit or remove it at any time through your account settings.

6.3 No Guarantee of Placement

Creating a candidate profile does not guarantee that you will be matched to any role, screened, interviewed, or hired. Talents Arena is not a party to, and has no control over, any employment relationship formed between a Candidate and a Client, and makes no representation about the terms, conditions, or outcome of any resulting employment. Talents Arena does not charge Candidates any fee to create or maintain a candidate profile.

7. Fees & Payment

Charges are payable by Clients as set out in the applicable Order Form and are, except as otherwise agreed in writing, non-cancellable and non-refundable once a Subscription Period has commenced.

Unless stated otherwise, invoices are payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Overdue amounts may accrue late payment interest to the extent permitted under applicable law, and Talents Arena reserves the right to suspend access to the Services for accounts more than thirty (30) days past due.

Charges are exclusive of VAT and any other applicable taxes, which are the Client's responsibility unless otherwise stated.

Talents Arena may revise pricing for future renewal terms, with notice provided to the Client ahead of the renewal date.

8. Intellectual Property

Talents Arena and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including the AI Sourcing & Matching Engine, Talent Studio, Talent Bot, Talent Link, psychometric assessments, all associated software, algorithms, and the "Talents Arena" and "Hire Arena" names, logos, and trademarks. Nothing in this Agreement grants a Client or Candidate any ownership interest in the Services. Clients retain all rights in their own branding, trademarks, and Client Data. Candidates retain all rights in their own Candidate Data, subject to the license granted under Section 6.1 to process it for matching purposes. Talents Arena may reference a Client's name and logo, and use anonymized or aggregated placement statistics, for marketing and case-study purposes, unless the Client objects in writing.

9. Confidentiality

Each party will protect the other's Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information, and in no event less than reasonable care, and will use it solely to perform its obligations under this Agreement. These obligations do not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, was already known to the receiving party, or is independently developed without reference to the disclosing party's Confidential Information. This Section survives termination of this Agreement.

10. Data Protection

Talents Arena processes personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, available at [insert URL], and with applicable data protection laws, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Personal Data Protection Law, the UAE's Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data, and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Talents Arena is accredited by SDAIA (سدايا) as a responsible and ethical AI service provider for its hiring engine. Where Talents Arena processes Client Data containing personal information on a Client's behalf, Talents Arena acts as a data processor/service provider, and the Client acts as data controller responsible for ensuring it has a lawful basis to submit that data and, where required, has informed the relevant individuals.

11. AI & Automated Matching Disclaimer

Output from the AI Sourcing & Matching Engine, Talent Bot, and psychometric assessments does not constitute a recommendation, decision, or determination regarding any individual's suitability for employment, and must not be used as the sole or determinative basis for any hiring, promotion, compensation, or termination decision.

Clients remain responsible for independent human review of all candidates prior to any employment decision, and for their own compliance with applicable anti-discrimination, equal employment opportunity, and any AI-governance or automated-employment-decision-tool laws applicable to their use of the Services.

Talents Arena makes no warranty that Output will be free from error or bias, and disclaims responsibility for employment decisions made by Clients based on Output, without prejudice to Talents Arena's own obligations to design and operate the AI Sourcing & Matching Engine responsibly and in line with our SDAIA accreditation.

The Managed Hiring Cycle's human screening and interview stage is designed specifically to add human judgment on top of AI-generated matches before candidates are presented to a Client; nonetheless, the final hiring decision always rests with the Client.

12. Disclaimers & Warranties

Talents Arena will provide the Services using reasonable skill and care. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available," and Talents Arena disclaims all other warranties, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Talents Arena does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, and is not responsible for the accuracy, legality, or completeness of any Candidate Data or Client Data submitted by Users.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither party will be liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or business, arising out of or related to this Agreement, whether based on contract, tort, or any other legal theory, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Except for a party's indemnification obligations, breach of confidentiality, or a party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, each party's total aggregate liability arising out of or related to this Agreement will not exceed the total Charges paid or payable by the Client to Talents Arena in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

14. Indemnification

Each Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Talents Arena from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: the Client's employment, hiring, or human-resources decisions, including claims of discrimination or violation of equal-employment or AI-governance laws relating to the Client's use of Output; the Client's breach of this Agreement or applicable law; or any dispute between the Client and a Candidate. Talents Arena agrees to indemnify Clients against third-party claims that the Services, as provided by Talents Arena and used in accordance with this Agreement, infringe a third party's intellectual property rights, subject to prompt notice and Talents Arena's control of the defense.

15. Term, Suspension & Termination

This Agreement takes effect on the date a Client signs an Order Form, or a Candidate creates a profile, and continues for the applicable Subscription Period (for Clients) or until account deletion (for Candidates).

Either party may terminate for the other party's uncured material breach following thirty (30) days' written notice, or immediately for non-payment continuing beyond thirty (30) days.

Talents Arena may suspend or terminate a Candidate's or Client User's access immediately, without notice, for conduct that violates this Agreement, poses a security risk, or is unlawful.

Upon termination, Clients may request export of Client Data within thirty (30) days; thereafter Talents Arena may delete such data, subject to the retention obligations in our Privacy Policy.

Candidates may request deletion of their candidate profile at any time as described in our Privacy Policy.

16. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, and any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement that cannot be resolved amicably within thirty (30) days will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, save that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect its Confidential Information or intellectual property.

17. General Provisions

17.1 Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with any applicable Order Form and our Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Services and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings on the subject.

17.2 Changes to These Terms

We may update this Agreement from time to time. Material changes will be notified to Clients by email and to Candidates via in-platform notice at least fifteen (15) days before taking effect, except where a shorter period is required to address a security or legal issue. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.

17.3 Force Majeure

Neither party will be liable for delay or failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, governmental action, or internet or infrastructure failure.

17.4 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

17.5 Assignment

Neither party may assign this Agreement without the other's prior written consent, except that Talents Arena may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets.

17.6 No Waiver

No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that right.

17.7 Independent Relationship

Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between Talents Arena and any Client or Candidate. Talents Arena does not act as an employer, staffing agency, or party to any employment relationship formed between a Client and a Candidate, except where a separate Outsourcing & EOR agreement expressly provides otherwise.
