YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY COMMUNICATION SENT THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR A G2i-ENABLED MESSAGING SERVICE MAY BE VIEWED BY THIRD PARTIES AND, AS SUCH, IS NOT CONSIDERED CONFIDENTIAL AND G2i HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY, CONTROL OVER, OR LIABILITY FOR THE CONTENT OF THOSE MESSAGES, ANY ATTACHMENTS TO THOSE MESSAGES, OR THE CHOSEN RECIPIENTS BY THE SENDER, WHETHER SENT THROUGH THE SERVICE, OR VIA YOUR PREFERRED E-MAIL SERVICE.
10. Third-Party Content
The Platform may contain links to third-party websites and services ("Third-Party Links"). We are not responsible for any Third-Party Links, and we do not approve, monitor, endorse, warrant or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Links. You use all Third-Party Links at your own risk and should apply a suitable level of caution, diligence and discretion in doing so. When you click on any of the Third-Party Links, the applicable third party's terms and policies apply, including the third party's privacy and information gathering practices.
11. Term and Termination
These Terms are effective and binding on you as of the date that you create your Account and can access our Platform, and will continue to be binding on you until terminated as set forth herein (the "Term"). You may terminate these Terms at any time by deleting your Account, provided that you are not engaged in an accepted Statement of Work, as further described in Section 21. We may terminate these Terms and your access to our Platform at any time and in our sole discretion.
12. Effects of Termination
Upon termination of these Terms, (a) you will return to G2i any G2i Confidential Information in your possession or control, (b) all amounts owed to you for Developer Services rendered under these Terms which accrued before such termination will be due and payable, (c) any amounts owed to G2i by you in accordance with Section 21 will be due and payable, and (d) you will provide reasonable transition assistance as G2i reasonably requires on any Projects.

Sections 5-10, 12-15, 17-19, 20(a), 20(c), 20(h), and 21(j) of these Terms will survive termination or expiration of these Terms, and G2i will not be liable for damages arising out of termination.
13. Confidential Information
"Confidential Information" means any non-publicly available information that you or we (the "Discloser") disclose, whether orally or in written or digital media, to the other party (the "Recipient") that is identified as "confidential" or with a similar legend at the time of disclosure or that the Recipient knows or should have known is the confidential or proprietary information of the Discloser, including without limitation all information related to a party's business, financial affairs or operations, including but not limited to information related to business plans, technology, source code, product or service development plans, pricing, techniques and methods. For the avoidance of doubt, our Confidential Information includes: our lists of Candidates or Companies, the information about Companies we make available to you, any content and materials we use to match you with Companies, all Work Product, the Projects available on the Platform and related information, any methods G2i uses to evaluate talents and skills (including the content of any quizzes, code the Candidate writes during an evaluation, or related rubric), and the specific pricing and terms of Statements of Work you enter into with us.

Communications you send through the Platform or a G2i-enabled messaging service is not considered Confidential Information. Information is not Confidential Information if it is (i) already known by the Recipient without obligation of confidentiality; (ii) is independently developed by the Recipient without access to or use of the Discloser's Confidential Information; (iii) is publicly known without breach of these Terms; or (iv) is lawfully received from a third party without obligation of confidentiality.

For a period of two (2) years after the termination of these Terms and all Statements of Work hereunder: (a) the Recipient will not use or disclose any of the Discloser's Confidential Information except as needed to exercise the rights provided to the Recipient in these Terms or to perform the Recipient's obligations under these Terms (collectively, the "Permitted Purposes"); (b) the Recipient will disclose the Discloser's Confidential Information only to its employees, agents and contractors who have a direct "need to know" for a Permitted Purpose and who are subject to obligations of confidentiality which are no less restrictive than those contained herein; and (c) the Recipient will protect the Discloser's Confidential Information using the same degree of care that it uses with respect to its own Confidential Information of similar nature, but in no event with safeguards less than a reasonably prudent business would exercise under similar circumstances.

The Recipient will take prompt and appropriate action to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the Discloser's Confidential Information. If any Confidential Information must be disclosed to any third party by reason of legal, accounting or regulatory requirements, the Recipient will promptly notify the Discloser of the order or request and permit the Discloser (at its own expense) to seek an appropriate protective order.

Each party acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section would cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching party, the extent of which would be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, each party agrees that, in addition to any other remedies to which a party may be legally entitled, the non-breaching party shall have the right to seek immediate injunctive or other equitable relief in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section by the other party or any of its employees or agents.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us and our officers, employees and agents harmless and free from any costs, attorneys' fees, claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) your use of our Platform; (2) your performance of Developer Services or acts or omissions in connection with a Project; (3) your violation of these Terms, the Privacy Policy or a Statement of Work; (4) your violation of law; (5) allegations that G2i is your employer or that G2i and a Company are your joint employers; or (6) allegations that Candidate Content or Work Product you develop infringes another party's intellectual property rights.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law: (i) in no event will G2i be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, punitive, enhanced, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, loss of use, data, business, goodwill, profits or revenue) for any claim arising under these Terms or related to the Developer Services, regardless of the cause of action and even if advised of the possibility of those damages and (ii) in no event will G2i's aggregate liability to you or any third party for any damages arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Developer Services, whether based on an action or claim in contract, equity, negligence, tort or otherwise, exceed the amount of fees paid to you by G2i in the 12 months preceding the date on which the claim arose.

IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION THAT REQUIRES A SPECIFIC STATEMENT REGARDING RELEASE, THEN THE FOLLOWING APPLIES. FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS MUST, AS A CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WAIVE THE APPLICABILITY OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES, "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY." YOU HEREBY WAIVE THIS SECTION OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE THAT HAS THE SAME INTENT OR EFFECT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION.
16. Updates
We may, from time to time and in our sole discretion, develop and provide updates to the Platform, which may include upgrades, bug fixes, patches and other error corrections and/or new features ("Updates"). Updates may also modify or delete in their entirety certain features and functionality presently on the Platform. You agree that all Updates will be deemed part of the Platform and be subject to these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that we have no obligation to: (i) provide you with technical support in connection with your use of the Platform, (ii) provide any Updates, or (iii) continue to provide or enable any features or functionality of the Platform.
17. Non-Solicit
You agree that you will not directly or indirectly solicit for employment or otherwise induce, influence or encourage to terminate employment, or divert to other employment, our employees, customers, or other Candidates, or employ or engage as an independent contractor any of our employees, customers, or other Candidates, for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the date such individual has been employed or contracted by G2i without obtaining our prior written consent.

If G2i's customer instructs you to interact or perform services for a client of their own, you agree not to directly or indirectly solicit, entice, or attempt to solicit or entice any clients, customers, or suppliers of G2i's client to divert their business or services from G2i's client for a period of 24 consecutive months, beginning on the last day of the last date on which the parties are associated in connection with this Agreement.
18. Non-Disparagement
You agree that, during the Term or at any time in the future, you will not make any disparaging or defamatory public statements or comments about G2i, its affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, shareholders or members, employees, operations, products or services, or encourage or participate with anyone to make those statements or comments.
19. Dispute Resolution
For any dispute you have with us, you agree to first contact us (by the means described in the "Notice" section of these Terms) and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If we have not been able to resolve the dispute with you informally within thirty (30) days of both parties having notice of the dispute, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute or controversy arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms by binding arbitration conducted under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the "JAMS Rules") and under the rules set forth in these Terms. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in these Terms, the rules set forth in these Terms will govern. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in Dade County, Florida. Each party will be responsible for paying any filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security, Intellectual Property or unauthorized access to the Platform or Developer Services. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL; YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

If you provide Developer Services to us in connection with Projects, you agree to the following additional terms:

(a) Engagement as Independent Contractor. Your interactions with us or with Companies may result in G2i extending an offer to work on a Project (a "Project Offer"). When we extend a Project Offer to you, you will receive a short document from us called a "Statement of Work" or "SOW" that is a binding contract between you and us that sets forth the specific terms of the applicable Project Offer, including (i) the nature of the Project, (ii) compensation terms, (iii) a schedule listing the Developer Services that you will be required to perform, and (iv) and any Deliverables (as defined below) that you would be required to produce and provide to the Company through us for the applicable Project (collectively, the performance of these services and provision of the Deliverables are the "Developer Services"). You can review and accept Statements of Work electronically. Prior to accepting any Statement of Work, you will notify G2i of any other independent contractor agreements, or employment agreements, you may have with any third parties, including but not limited to full and part time employment. We hereby engage you to perform and you agree to perform all of your obligations under an accepted Statements of Work. You may, in your sole discretion, accept or reject Statements of Work. However, you represent and warrant that once you accept a Statement of Work, (1) it is a binding contract between you and us that incorporates these Terms by reference, (2) you have not entered and will not enter into any agreement with a third party that will adversely impact or conflict with your ability to perform Developer Services and devote adequate resources to meeting your Professional Services obligations under a Statement of Work, including timely delivery of Work Product, (3) you will perform the Developer Services for the full duration of the Statement of Work and until all required Work Product is delivered to the Company, and (4) within five business days of receipt of a request from G2i or completion of a Statement of Work, whichever comes first, you will provide evidence that all equipment, hardware, or other property provided by G2i or the Company has been shipped for return to G2i or the Company as applicable.

(b) Liquidated Damages. If Candidate breaches any of its obligations of engagement under Section 21(a)(1) through Section 21(a)(4) (the "Candidate Breach"), Candidate shall pay to G2i an amount equal to $5,000 USD (the "Liquidated Damages"). The parties acknowledge and agree that G2i's harm caused by a Candidate Breach would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, and that the Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from a Candidate Breach. Candidate's payment of the Liquidated Damages is Candidate's sole liability and entire obligation and G2i's exclusive remedy for any Candidate Breach.

(c) Time Entry. Each week, you will be required to submit to the Platform an accurate record of the time you spent providing the Developer Services in connection with Projects ("Time Report"). The Time Report is due by 11:59PM EST each Friday for that Friday and the previous six days, as applicable. The grace period for submitting your Time Report is 48 hours. If the Time Report for the entire preceding week has not been submitted by Candidate by 11:59PM EST each Sunday, a specified consequence of $50 will be assessed daily for each late submission of Time Reports. Each Candidate will be allowed two late Time Reports before any specified consequence is imposed. Consistent failure to submit Time Reports on time may be considered a breach of these Terms.

(d) Change Orders. Either you or we may request a change to a SOW, by providing a written proposal outlining the proposed change ("Change Order"). In the event a Change Order is agreed to in writing by both you and us, you acknowledge that the Change Order may alter the Developer Services or the delivery or fee schedules as set forth in the SOW describing the Project.

(g) Acceptance, Rejection, and/or Modification of Work Product. You will submit Deliverables and Work Product in object and source code form for review and acceptance by G2i and the Company, and make any G2i or Company requested changes.
