Korn Ferry (US) will make available to Client those components of Korn Ferry’s cloud-based solution and other related software and services (the “Hosted Service”) described in a COF.  Korn Ferry will also provide to Client user guides, documentation, and training materials (including any updates or amendments thereof) regarding the Hosted Service that Korn Ferry makes generally available to its clients (the “Documentation”).

1.2 Implementation Services. To the extent implementation assistance is required, Korn Ferry will provide implementation services as set forth in the applicable Product/Service Specific Terms (“Implementation Services”).

1.3 Other Services. Korn Ferry may also provide to Client services other than the Hosted Service or Implementation Services as described in the COF or in the Product/Service Specific Terms (the “Other Services”), which may be subject to additional fees and terms as agreed by the Parties.  The Hosted Service, Implementation Services and Other Services are collectively the “Services”.

1.4 Maintenance and Technical Support.  Korn Ferry may install software updates, bug fixes, upgrades and error corrections in the Hosted Service as Korn Ferry deems necessary from time to time, provided that the updates or installations are not inconsistent with the Agreement.

If suspended, Korn Ferry will promptly restore use of the Hosted Service to Client after the event giving rise to the suspension has been resolved to Korn Ferry’s reasonable satisfaction.  Any accounts that are restored after suspension under subsections (b), (c) or (d) may be subject to Korn Ferry’s then-current reactivation fees.  Client is not entitled to a refund or credit on any fees if access to the Hosted Service is suspended under subsections (b), (c) or (d).

2. RIGHTS

2.1 Right to Use the Hosted Service. Subject to Client’s timely payment of all applicable fees, Korn Ferry grants to Client, during the term of the corresponding COF, a non-exclusive, non-transferable license for Client’s Employees to  access and use the Hosted Service for internal business purposes only (and not as a service bureau) as set forth in the Product/Service Specific Terms applicable to the licensed Service, subject to any limitations set forth in the Agreement. Client will not disclose or otherwise allow access to the Hosted Service or Documentation to any third party, including other system service providers, outsourcers, or any party that it should reasonably be aware may compete with Korn Ferry, except as Korn Ferry expressly permits in writing in each instance.  The Hosted Service includes unpublished software, trade secrets and confidential or proprietary information of Korn Ferry or its licensors and is developed exclusively at private expense.

“Employee” means: (i) Client’s employees, and (ii) Client’s independent contractors who perform services on behalf of Client and have entered into written agreements with Client no less restrictive than the Agreement.  Independent contractors may not be competitors of Korn Ferry or its parent company, subsidiaries or affiliates.

2.2 Use Restrictions. Client must not, on its own or through a third party: (a) access or use the Hosted Service or the Documentation to design, create or build a service or product that is competitive with the Hosted Service, or which uses ideas, features or functions that are similar to the Hosted Service; (b) license, sublicense, sell, resell, resyndicate, transfer, assign, distribute, lease, rent, loan, or otherwise commercially exploit or make available to any third party the Hosted Service or the Documentation; (c) combine or permit sharing of User Licenses by more than one employee; (d) use the Hosted Service to provide a service bureau; (e) modify, translate, or make derivative works based upon the Hosted Service or the Documentation or any part thereof, or directly or indirectly decrypt, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Hosted Service or any portion thereof or its underlying ideas, techniques or algorithms, including the review of data structures or similar materials produced by the Hosted Service; or (f) directly or indirectly use the Hosted Service in violation of any applicable laws.  Except as explicitly granted in the Agreement, Client has no rights with respect to the Hosted Service or the Documentation. 

2.3 Proprietary Rights. The Services, the Korn Ferry Data (excluding any Client Content included therein), and any modifications, configurations, enhancements or derivative works thereof to any of the foregoing (including all intellectual property rights in or to any of the foregoing), are and remain the exclusive property of Korn Ferry or its licensors.  No licenses or rights are granted to Client except for the limited rights expressly granted in the Agreement.

3. DATA

3.1 Client Content. To facilitate Korn Ferry’s performance of its obligations under the Agreement, Client grants to Korn Ferry during the Term a limited license to use, process and reproduce, any information or data related to Client that is input or uploaded into the Hosted Service by Client, provided by Client to Korn Ferry for entry by Korn Ferry into the Hosted Service, or otherwise provided to Korn Ferry by Client pursuant to the Agreement (the “Client Content”). 

3.2 Data Usage and Data Security. Korn Ferry will use commercially reasonable efforts to adhere to the data security and privacy standards set forth in the Data Security Provisions in Appendix A (Data Security Provisions).

3.3 Korn Ferry Data. Korn Ferry may: (a) collect data arising out of Client’s use of the Hosted Service; (b) collect metrics and data included in the Client Content; and (c) aggregate and analyze any metrics and data collected pursuant to subsections (a) or (b) of this sentence (collectively, the “Korn Ferry Data”).  The Korn Ferry Data will be de-identified to exclude any personally identifiable information.  Except as otherwise stated in the Product/Service Specific Terms, Korn Ferry will not use the Korn Ferry Data in a way that identifies Client as the source of any data included in the Korn Ferry Data. Provided Korn Ferry complies with the two immediately preceding sentences, Korn Ferry Data does not constitute Client’s Confidential Information and Korn Ferry may provide the Korn Ferry Data to third parties.  Korn Ferry may use, reproduce, distribute, and prepare derivative works from the Client Content as incorporated in the Korn Ferry Data.

3.4 Rights Notices. Client will not remove any notices or legends that appear in the Services, Documentation, or on any output of the Services, that either identify Korn Ferry as the owner, or provide notice of the confidential and proprietary nature of the materials and their contents, including copyright notices, trademark symbols and notices, and notices that the materials are “confidential” or “proprietary.”  Client’s obligation not to remove any notices applies in all circumstances, including when Client copies or distributes materials as permitted by the Agreement.

4. FEES.

4.1 Fees for use of the Services are set forth in the applicable COF. Unless otherwise set forth in the Product/Service Specific Terms or the COF, Fees will be invoiced upon execution of the COF, and annually in advance for renewals, and as additional services or licenses are added.  Fees  are non-cancellable and non-refundable regardless of whether Client uses the Services during the Term. If Client has received a discounted Fee in connection with a multi-year commitment, and fails to pay the Fee for subsequent years when they are due, Korn Ferry will invoice Client the difference between the standard fee and the discounted fee paid for previous years.   

4.2 Professional Fees and Expenses. The professional Fees for Other Services, if applicable, will be set forth on the COF.  Korn Ferry assesses an administrative charge equal to twelve percent (12%) of professional fees.  All professional fees are non-contingent, non-transferable, and non-refundable unless specifically stated otherwise in the COF.  Korn Ferry will invoice direct out-of-pocket expenses, including consultant travel, accommodation and meals, courier, shipping, reproduction, and video-conferencing, on a monthly basis as incurred.

5. WARRANTIES.

5.1 Korn Ferry warrants that the Hosted Service will substantially perform in accordance with the Documentation and that Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. As Client’s sole remedy for defective Services, Korn Ferry will repair or replace such Services. Korn Ferry represents and warrants that it will exercise commercially reasonable efforts, including the use of industry standard methods to detect and protect the Hosting Service and other electronically delivered materials against malicious program code insertions, and Korn Ferry will not knowingly introduce into the Hosting Service or other electronically delivered materials any virus or other malicious code. 

5.2 EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 5, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.  KORN FERRY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS (TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW) ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.  KORN FERRY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICES WILL BE COMPLETELY SECURE, ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ALL ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.

6. TERM AND TERMINATION 

6.1 Term. The subscription begins on the Start Date and ends on the End Date set forth on the COF (the “Term”).  Thereafter, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional one (1) year terms at Korn Ferry’s then-current rates unless either party provides notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term (the initial subscription period and any renewal terms are collectively the “Subscription Period”). Client’s notice of termination must include written verification, executed by a corporate officer, that all Korn Ferry Material and Derivatives: (i) are no longer being used by Client; and (ii) have been destroyed in accordance the Agreement.  Client is responsible for all Fees due until the effective date of termination.  Unless otherwise set forth in the corresponding COF, all payments are non-refundable and all Services are non-cancelable during any current term unless Client terminates due to Korn Ferry’s uncured material breach of the Agreement.   

6.2 Effects of Termination. Upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason: (a) the license granted to Client in Section 2.1 (Right to Use the Hosted Service) will terminate; (b) Client may not access the applicable Hosted Service; and (c) all amounts owed to Korn Ferry under the Agreement will become immediately due and payable. The following provisions of these SaaS Terms will survive any termination of the Agreement: 2.3 (Proprietary Rights), 3 (Data), 4 (Fees).

7. RESCHEDULING 

7.1 If Other Services are included within the Services, the following Rescheduling policy will apply.  Korn Ferry will schedule and commit personnel and resources to provide the Services.  Korn Ferry understands that Client’s business conditions may change; however, rescheduling on short notice impacts Korn Ferry’s business and its ability to provide outstanding service to all of its customers.  Client may reschedule the provision of Other Services by paying the following fees in addition to the associated fees for any Services rendered.  These fees are a genuine pre-estimate of Korn Ferry’s losses as a result of such rescheduling and are reflective of the value of the lost bookings for Korn Ferry for the time scheduled and fees which otherwise have been earned by the team leader, team members and other resources, and are not penalties.  If Client fails to provide Korn Ferry with documentation, information, or access to its personnel that impacts Korn Ferry’s ability to meet the completion date or Client otherwise delays the completion date, Korn Ferry reserves the right to charge Client a rescheduling fee as set forth below.

a) If rescheduling more than 20 business days before the scheduled program, meeting or session, Client will pay the Actual Expenses incurred as a result of the rescheduling.

b) If rescheduling 20 or fewer business days before the scheduled program, meeting or session, rescheduling fees will be calculated based on the number of business days’ notice provided as shown in the table below, plus Actual Expenses incurred.
