Limitations, Exclusions,  Exceptions and Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND AS AVAILABLE, AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TALENT INSIGHTS, ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, THIRD-PARTY CONTENT OR SERVICE PROVIDERS, DISTRIBUTORS, DEALERS, AND SUPPLIERS (COLLECTIVELY "SUPPLIERS") DISCLAIM ALL GUARANTEES AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, REGARDING THE SERVICE AND RELATED MATERIALS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, OR ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

NEITHER TALENT INSIGHTS NOR ITS SUPPLIERS IS RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS TERMS OF SERVICE OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE: (a) INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; OR (b) DAMAGES OF ANY KIND IN EXCESS OF $1,000. THE LIABILITIES LIMITED BY THE PRECEDING SENTENCE APPLY: (i) TO LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE; (ii) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE; (iii) EVEN IF TALENT INSIGHTS IS ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DAMAGES IN QUESTION AND EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE; AND (iv) EVEN IF YOUR REMEDIES FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. If applicable law limits the application of the provisions of this Section 6, Talent Insights' liability will be limited to the maximum extent permissible.

You recognize and agree that Talent Insights is not responsible or liable for any act of the Employer, including without limitation (a) any wrongful termination, discrimination in hiring, or other wrongdoing related to employment; (b) any Employer violation of applicable law, including without limitation, federal, state, and local employment and anti-discrimination laws and regulations; and (c) any Employer failure to protect your name, address, email address, other private or personally identifiable information, assessment or survey answers, or any other information about you (collectively, "Participant Data"). You recognize and agree that Talent Insights has no control over the Employer's use of your Participant Data and that you should address issues related to such use with the Employer. In the event you have a disability for which you require reasonable accommodations for employment testing under applicable law, it is your responsibility to promptly notify the Employer, individual or other organization that has asked you to use the Service to request such accommodations and to send a copy of such notification to Talent Insights via email to support@talentinsights.com, Subject: Accommodations Request.

You understand and agree that regardless of assessment items or questions, the Assessments are not "Psychological Tests." They are not being administered by a mental health professional, in a medical setting, for the purpose of providing a diagnosis for any mental or medical condition, and they are not designed or intended to be used as such.

You understand and agree that assessment results and reports are generated from your responses as the Participant to the assessment questions. The accuracy of those results is dependent on the Participant’s awareness and willingness to be honest about personal preferences, interests, and typical behavioral responses. Note that all assessments have been professionally developed and validated.

Note, the Personal and/or Executive MAP Reports should not be depended upon as the sole means of evaluating any candidate for any position within an organization. Such a decision should also take into consideration information received from the personal interview, background history, knowledge, skills and reference checks. The Talent Insights instrument is a tool which should be used in conjunction with other established hiring or management procedures.

Furthermore, the assessments utilized in the Talent Insights MAP process are not skill- or aptitude-based. Therefore, your participation also acknowledges that Talent Insights is not making recommendations based on the possession or lack of correlating skills or aptitudes deemed necessary for a specific position within an organization. Additionally, the MAP Indicator bar located in MAP Pro Executive Report simply illustrates how the participant’s natural internal wiring is likely to work for or against them in the opportunity being considered but does not indicate the presence or absence of other necessary skills required for a particular role.

Talent Insights representatives are trained to speak to a participant’s basic personal traits. No one can say for sure how a unique person will respond in any given situation, succeed or struggle in a particular role and/or career, or otherwise be guaranteed success/failure.

Therefore, it is understood that each participant and/or management team is solely responsible for acting on or rejecting any recommendations presented in the reports, interviews or consultations. Talent Insights, its staff, and/or representatives cannot be held liable for any losses, claims, damages, awards, penalties or injuries incurred as a result of any information presented, not presented or conjured as a result of the reports, interviews, or consultations.

Under no circumstances--including, but not limited to, negligence--shall Talent Insights, its staff, and/or representatives be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, Talent Insights services, third-party materials, or products made available through this purchase.

This Agreement shall be governed solely by the internal laws of the State of Texas without reference to any principle of conflicts of law that would apply the substantive laws of another jurisdiction to the parties' rights or duties. The parties consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of Fort Worth, TX.

Talent Insights may revise the Privacy Policy, the AUP, and the terms of this Terms of Use at any time by posting new versions thereof.

However, Recipient may disclose Discloser's Confidential Information as required by applicable law or by proper legal or governmental authority, provided it gives Discloser advanced written notice reasonably sufficient to obtain a protective order or otherwise to contest such required disclosure and reasonably cooperates in any such effort.
