For the avoidance of doubt, any individual or entity which is bound by this TOS shall also be referred to as “you” throughout this TOS. A Candidate may directly apply for any specific job listing by a Customer, in which case there is no Referrer, only a Candidate.
  • Qualified Hires. In the event and only in the event that a Candidate referred to a Customer by a Referrer is hired by such Customer and actually commences employment with such Customer (a “Qualified Hire”), then the Referrer shall be, subject to Section 5(c), entitled to a success fee (a “Referrer Success Fee”) based upon an amount specified by the Customer, all as more particularly set forth within the Service (“Specified Amount”).

    In the event that a Candidate has been referred for a specific job listing or to an employer talent network by more than one Referrer, the Referrer whose link the Candidate uses to access the job listing and apply for a specific job or to join the employer talent network and apply for the job, and only such Referrer, shall be, subject to Section 5(c), entitled to the Referrer Success Fee in connection with the hiring of such Candidate by the applicable Customer and the commencement of employment by such Candidate with such Customer. Customers may, at their sole discretion, set the timeframe by which candidates will remain identified with an employee Referrer.

  • Payments of Referrer Success Fees. In the event of a Qualified Hire, MilitaryConnected shall pay the Referrer Success Fee to the Referrer within forty-five (45) days after the later of the applicable Candidate’s (i) commencement of employment with the applicable Customer or (ii) such Candidate’s completion of any probation or performance period required by such Customer, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that MilitaryConnected shall not be obligated to pay any Referrer Success Fee unless and until MilitaryConnected has actually received the applicable success fee(s) payable by such Customer in connection with such Qualified Hire (the “Customer Success Fee”). In the event that MilitaryConnected receives the Customer Success Fee on or after the date that is five (5) days prior to the end of such forty-five (45) day period, MilitaryConnected shall pay the Referrer Success Fee within forty-five (45) days of receiving the Customer Success Fee. In some cases, Customer may require multiple payments of Customer Success Fees to MilitaryConnected based on any required probation or performance periods, in which case MilitaryConnected shall pay the appropriate portion of the Referrer Success Fee, in accordance with this Section 5(c), with respect to the completion of each required probation or performance period. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term or provision of this TOS, MilitaryConnected shall have no obligation to pay any Referrer Success Fee to any Referrer if MilitaryConnected has not actually received the Customer Success Fee(s) with respect to a Qualified Hire referred by the Referrer.
  • Payments of Candidate Success Fees to Candidates. In the event and only in the event that a Candidate referred to a Customer by a Referrer via the Service is subsequently offered a position by such Customer and actually commences employment with such Customer, then the Candidate shall be entitled to a success fee (a “Candidate Success Fee”) based upon the Specified Amount, all as more particularly set forth within the Service.

    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing or any other term or provision of this TOS, in the event that a Candidate has directly applied to a job position and there is no Referrer, the Candidate shall be entitled to a Candidate Success Fee and neither the Candidate nor any Referrer on the Service shall be entitled to a Referrer Success Fee.

    In the event that a Candidate becomes entitled to a Candidate Success Fee in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions, MilitaryConnected shall pay the Candidate Success Fee to the Candidate within forty-five (45) days after the later of the Candidate’s (i) commencement of employment with the applicable Customer, or (ii) such Candidate’s completion of any probation or performance period required by such Customer, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that MilitaryConnected has actually received the Customer Success Fee. In the event that MilitaryConnected receives the Customer Success Fee on or after the date that is five (5) days prior to the end of such forty-five (45) day period, MilitaryConnected shall pay the Candidate Success Fee within forty-five (45) days of receiving the Customer Success Fee. In some cases, a Customer may require multiple payments of Customer Success Fees to MilitaryConnected based on any required probation or performance periods, periods, in which case MilitaryConnected shall pay the appropriate portion of the Candidate Success Fee, in accordance with this Section 5(d), with respect to the completion of each required probation or performance period. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term or provision of this TOS, MilitaryConnected shall have no obligation to pay any Candidate Success Fee to any Candidate if MilitaryConnected has not actually received the Customer Success Fee(s) with respect to such Candidate who has been hired by such Customer.
