1. Acceptance of Terms

Key points:

• Your access to and use of the Service is subject to these Terms. We reserve the right to update and change these Terms from time to time. While we may not always provide advance notice, if we make material changes we will notify you through the Talentz.ai platform or via the email associated with your account. Modified Terms become effective upon the earlier of (i) your continued use of the Service after notification, or (ii) thirty (30) days from the date of posting on this page.
• Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal and organizational data, including how Zee processes personal information and generates signals.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Service or by email. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

2. The Service and Zee

Talentz.ai is a hiring platform powered by Zee, our agentic AI. Zee helps employers and recruiters run hiring workflows and helps candidates engage with those workflows through three connected capabilities:

• Zee Scout sources candidates across the Talentz database and public and licensed sources, and produces a ranked, enriched shortlist for human review.
• Zee Engage runs two-way candidate conversations across multiple channels, qualifies intent, and hands qualified candidates forward.
• Zee Lens conducts structured, recorded interviews and produces decision-ready findings packets for a human to act on.

In providing the Service, Zee may read and organize submitted information (such as resumes, assessment responses, interview recordings, and messages); generate signals, scores, summaries, recommendations, and findings; conduct conversational interactions and record transcripts; and retrieve and combine information from connected sources and third-party databases to enrich candidate profiles.

The signals, scores, and findings Zee produces are intended to inform human judgment, not replace it. Final hiring, rejection, promotion, and other employment decisions are made by the employer, not by TALENTZ AI or Zee. Your use of the Service is subject to the responsibilities and disclaimers in Sections 5, 13, and 14.

3. User Accounts and Access

To access certain features of the Service, you may be required to register for a user account.

TALENTZ AI follows industry-standard practices for data security and user access control, including encryption, secure hosting, role-based access controls, and access logging, to protect your information and the integrity of the Service.

4. Code of Conduct

To maintain a professional, respectful, and inclusive environment for all users, you agree to the following standards when using the Service.

5. Employer and Recruiter Responsibilities

If you use the Service as an employer, recruiter, or hiring organization ("Customer"), you are the decision-maker for the roles you manage, and you are solely responsible for your use of the Service and for compliance with all laws applicable to your hiring activities. You agree that:

• You will make all hiring, screening, interview, rejection, promotion, and other employment decisions yourself, exercising meaningful human oversight of any decision informed by Zee's signals, scores, or findings.
• You are solely responsible for compliance with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidelines and all other federal, state, and local employment, anti-discrimination, and fair-hiring laws.
• Where the law imposes obligations on the deployer of an automated employment decision tool, those obligations are yours. This includes, without limitation, New York City Local Law 144 (bias-audit, notice, and disclosure obligations), the Illinois Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act and similar state laws (candidate notice and consent for video interview analysis), and the Colorado AI Act and other emerging U.S. state AI laws governing high-risk systems used in consequential decisions. We support your compliance by providing information about relevant tools and, where applicable, bias-audit cooperation, but we do not assume your legal obligations.
• You will provide any legally required notices to, and obtain any legally required consents from, candidates before subjecting them to assessments, recorded interviews, or automated processing through the Service.
• You have a lawful basis to submit candidate and personal data to the Service, and you will use the Service and any outputs responsibly and in a non-discriminatory manner.

Nothing in these Terms constitutes legal, compliance, or professional advice, and TALENTZ AI is not responsible for your compliance decisions.

6. Candidate Assessments and Automated Processing

TALENTZ AI collects and processes candidate information, including psychometric, cognitive, and behavioral assessment responses, video interview recordings, and conversation transcripts, as part of its hiring and talent development services. Zee uses this information to generate signals, scores, summaries, and findings.

By proceeding with any assessment, interview, or application process via the Service, you:

• Explicitly consent to our collection and processing of your data as described in our Privacy Policy.
• Acknowledge that your assessment results, interview recordings, and generated signals may be shared with the hiring organization for purposes of recruitment, internal mobility, or employee development.
• Understand that TALENTZ AI does not use or provide these assessments or signals for any psychological diagnosis or medical purpose.

Human review. Where a decision that produces a legal or similarly significant effect is based on automated processing, you may request human review, express your point of view, and contest the outcome, as described in our Privacy Policy. Because employers are the decision-makers in most hiring contexts, we may direct certain requests to the relevant employer or work with them to respond.

Reuse and deletion. Your results may be reused with your consent when applying to multiple positions across the Talentz.ai network. If you wish to delete your data or withdraw from consideration, contact privacy@talentz.ai. Upon verified request, deleted data will be permanently removed within 30 days unless otherwise required by applicable law.

TALENTZ AI is committed to complying with applicable data protection and anti-discrimination laws, including EEOC guidance on fair and job-relevant assessments and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and similar state privacy regulations.

7. Outreach and Communications Compliance

Zee Engage conducts candidate outreach and two-way conversations across channels such as email, SMS, WhatsApp, voice, and chat. The Service includes compliance controls, such as 10DLC registration for SMS, List-Unsubscribe handling, WhatsApp Business API messaging, and instant, permanent opt-out tracking across channels.

If you use the Service to communicate with candidates, you are responsible for ensuring that your outreach complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), CAN-SPAM, and applicable state and international messaging and consent laws. You represent that you have a lawful basis and any required consent to contact the individuals you engage through the Service, and you agree to honor opt-out and do-not-contact requests. You may not use the Service to send unlawful, deceptive, or unsolicited communications.

8. Third-Party Integrations and Data Sources

The Service may connect to, exchange data with, or make available third-party websites, applications, data sources, and integrations ("Third-Party Services"), including applicant tracking systems (ATS), collaboration tools such as Slack and Teams, sourcing and enrichment databases, and other assessment or automation providers. TALENTZ AI does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for the availability, accuracy, content, products, or services of any Third-Party Service, or for any transaction you enter into with a third party.

When you access or use a Third-Party Service, including via integration with the Service, you are subject to that third party's terms and privacy policy, not ours, and your use is at your own risk. You are responsible for maintaining any rights, licenses, and consents necessary to connect a Third-Party Service and to exchange data through it. We encourage you to review their policies before proceeding.

9. Service Availability and Modifications

TALENTZ AI reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service or any part of it, including any Zee capability, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.

Consistent with our Privacy Policy:

• We may use de-identified or aggregated data to develop, evaluate, and improve Zee's features, quality, and safety.

• Customer (employer) data is handled according to our customer agreements, which may include configuration options governing how that data is used.

12. Feedback License

If you provide suggestions, ideas, or feedback to TALENTZ AI about the Service ("Feedback"), you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use and incorporate that Feedback into our products and services without any obligation to you.

13. Employment Decisions

TALENTZ AI does not make hiring or employment decisions. The Service provides tools for evaluating talent, including psychometric assessments, skill-based evaluations, structured interviews, and AI-generated signals, scores, and findings.

14. AI Outputs and No Guarantees

Zee's signals, scores, rankings, summaries, and findings are probabilistic, AI-generated outputs based on the information available to it. They are provided to inform human judgment and may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. You acknowledge that:
