Late Payments. Overdue amounts may incur interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law, plus reasonable collection costs.

Any replacement or refund policy will be explicitly stated in your signed proposal or service agreement. If no policy is stated, all fees are non-refundable.

5) Candidate Introductions & Non-Circumvention

• Introductions are confidential and provided solely for the Client’s internal hiring.
  
  
• If a Candidate introduced by Recruitment Links is hired by the Client (or any related company) within 12 months of the introduction—whether full-time, part-time, or as a contractor—the applicable placement fee is due.
  
  
• The Client agrees not to bypass Recruitment Links to engage an introduced Candidate. If circumvention occurs, the full applicable fee becomes immediately payable, in addition to any reasonable costs incurred by Recruitment Links in enforcing this clause.

• Conducting any background checks the Client requires (unless otherwise agreed in writing).
