Service Order Form. The Initial Term will be as you elect on the
Service Order Form. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, this
Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal terms
equal in duration to the Initial Term at the then current fee you

renewal and thereafter.

suspended for non-payment and thereafter request access to the
Service. You agree and acknowledge that Hirebridge has no obligation
to retain Customer Data and that such Customer Data may be
irretrievably deleted if your account is 30 days or more delinquent.

Agreement if such breach is not cured during that time period.
Additionally, either party may terminate this Agreement for cause if
the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or
is subject to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment
for the benefit of creditors. Any account that is in arrears for
more than 30 days may be terminated without notice to you. If you
terminate this Agreement for cause pursuant to this section,
Hirebridge shall refund the remaining prorated balance of fees
prepaid by you that were to be applied to the remaining term
(calculated from termination date).
Data Retrieval Upon Termination
You may retrieve a copy of your data hosted by Hirebridge, within 30
days of termination of the Agreement, provided that your account is
paid up to date. Hirebridge may delete any of your data, including
candidate data and job requisition data that is not retrieved by you
within thirty (30) days of expiration or termination of this

after termination, unless contractually obligated to do so, and may
delete user data after termination of this Agreement, but will not
