You are granting us a license to use, copy, transmit, store, analyse, and back up all the data you submit to us via our services. This includes personal data of yourself and others, to: enable you to use our services; allow us to improve, develop and protect our services; create new services; communicate with you about your subscription; and send you information that we think may be of interest to you based on your candidate, jobs and/or marketing preferences.

21. Data breach notifications:If we think there has been unauthorised access to personal data within your subscription, we’ll let you know and give you information about what has happened. Depending on the type of access that was breached and the location of the affected contacts, you may be required to assess whether the unauthorised access must be reported to the contact and/or relevant authority. Since you will have the most knowledge about the personal data stored in your subscription, we believe that you are best placed to make the assessment.
Prelo will take every reasonable precaution to protect your confidential information and expect that you’ll do the same for ours.

23. Security safeguards: We’ve invested in technical, physical and administrative safeguards to do our part to help keep your data safe and secure. While we’ve taken steps to help protect your data, no method of electronic storage is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We will notify you if there appears to be unauthorised access to your account and we may also restrict access to certain parts of our services until you verify that access was by an authorised user.
24. Account security features: We may introduce security features to make your account more secure. Depending on where you are in the world or what services you’re using, we may require you to verify your location or adopt some of these features. Where we make the use of security features optional, you're responsible (meaning we’re not liable) for any consequences of not using those features. We strongly encourage you to use all optional security features.

26. Third-party products: Along with the use of our services, you may use data, services and apps from other companies (third-party products), for example there are apps we will be making available on our employer platform. It is worth noting that for some of our services, the provider may charge you additional fees to what you already pay us.

These include how the provider expects to use your data that you’ve shared with them. Make sure that you read and agree to the terms and conditions of any third-party and more specifically make sure that you understand their approach to how they intend on using your personal and non-personal data before you connect to them. Any description or links that we publish about a third-party has been provided to us by the providers.

We do not endorse or assume any responsibility for third-party products.
28. Use of your data to connect you to third party products: If you choose to connect your subscription to third-party products, we will use your personal data for that connection.

We try to minimise any downtime, but sometimes we need these downtimes to keep our services updated and secure for you. From time to time you may experience access issues or data loss, so backing up your data is important.

41. While we can’t cover everything here, we do want to highlight a few more examples of things you mustn’t ever do:
Please be aware that we can terminate your subscription with one month’s advanced written notice. If you violate any of the terms we have shared in this document we may terminate your subscription immediately.
42.Subscription period: Your subscription continues for the period covered by the subscription fee you paid or a subscription fee that is payable to us by you. At the end of each billing period, these terms automatically continue for a further period of the same duration as the previous one, provided you continue to pay the subscription fee in accordance with the pricing plan. You may choose to terminate your subscription at any time by providing one month's written notice in advance. You’ll still need to pay all relevant subscription fees up to and including the day of termination.
43. Termination by Prelo: We may choose to terminate your subscription at any time. We will do this by providing a month’s advance written notice to the email you have provided for your subscription. Prelo may also terminate or suspend your subscription or access to data on our platform immediately if:
44. No refunds: No refund is due to you if you terminate your subscription or Xero terminates it in accordance with these terms.
45. Retention of your data: Once a subscription is terminated by you or us, it is archived and the data submitted or created by you is no longer available to you. We retain it for a period of time consistent with our data retention policy, during which, as a subscriber, you can reactivate your subscription and once again access your data by paying the subscription fees. We retain data in case you need it as part of your record retention obligations, but you can get in touch with us to have your data removed completely if you wish.
Please pay extra attention to this section, read it in its entirety as it outlines liability terms between Prelo and both Subscribers and Invited Users.
46. You indemnify us: You indemnify us against all losses, costs (including legal costs), expenses, demands or liability that we incur arising out of, or in connection with, a third-party claim against us relating to your use of our services or any third-party product (except as far as we’re at fault).
47. Disclaimer of warranties: Our services and all third-party products are made available on an “as is” basis. Subject to the consumer law terms in section 53, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranties of non-infringement, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose
48. Limitation of liability: Other than liability that we can’t exclude or limit by law, our liability to you in connection with our services or these terms, in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited as follows:
This section outlines how disputes may be resolved.
49. Dispute resolution: We aim to resolve most of your concerns quickly and to your satisfaction when you contact our support team via the homepage. If we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if we haven’t been able to resolve a dispute we have with you after attempting to do so informally), then you and we agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. You and we agree that any dispute must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
We’ve set out additional terms below. Please take a read because they cover important issues you must be aware of.
50. No professional adviceJust so that we are clear, Prelo is not a professional services firm, not is it a recruitment agency. Our business is not in giving any kind of professional advice. We may provide you with information that we think might be useful in finding the right candidate or securing the right role, but this is not and should not be seen as a substitute for professional advice or recruitment services. We are not liable for your use of the information that we share with you in that way.
51. Events outside of our control: We do our best to control the things that we are able to control. We are not liable to you for any failure or delay in performance of any of our obligations under these terms which may arise out of any event or circumstances outside of our reasonable control.
52. Notices: All notices sent to Prelo must be sent to enquiries@Prelo.co.uk. Any notices we send to you will be sent to the email address you’ve provided to us when you registered for your subscription.
53. Consumer laws: In some places, there may be non-excludable warranties, guarantees or other rights provided by law (non-excludable consumer guarantees). They still apply – these terms do not exclude, restrict or modify them. Except for non-excludable consumer guarantees and other rights you have that we cannot exclude, we’re bound only by the express promises made in these terms. Our liability for breach of a non-excludable consumer guarantee is limited, at our option, to either replacing or paying the cost of replacing the relevant service (unless the non-excludable consumer guarantee says otherwise).
54. Export limitations: You must not use our services in violation of any export or trade embargo laws that apply to you.
55. Excluded terms: The terms of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) do not apply to these terms.
56. Blocking your access, disabling your subscription, or refusing to process a payment: As our sites are global, different laws may apply in different countries that restrict our relationship with you. We may block your access, terminate your subscription, or refuse to process a payment if we reasonably believe there’s a risk - like a potential breach of a law or regulation - associated with you, your company, your subscription, or a payment. Examples of where we might do this include transactions where the payment is from a sanctioned person or country; or where we reasonably believe there is a legal or regulatory risk or a risk of loss being suffered by us or our customers or partners. You promise that you’re not located in a sanctioned country and are not on a sanctioned persons list. We may also block users from a country if we can’t receive payments from that country. You should check what payment methods are available in your country for making payments. We may take any of these actions without notice.
57. Relationship between the parties; assignment: Nothing in these terms are to be construed as constituting a partnership, joint venture, employment or agency relationship between you, your company and Prelo or any of our other entities, or between you and any other subscriber or invited user. You are solely responsible for resolving disputes between you and any other subscriber, third-party or invited user.
58. Changes to these terms: We’ll sometimes decide to change these terms of use, don’t panic, the changes won’t be retrospectively applied. If we do make changes, we’ll make every effort to ensure that we let you know what they are. In general, we’ll try to provide you with 30 days’ notice in the event that we plan on making material changes. This is unless we need to make immediate changes for reasons we have zero control over. When we notify you, this will be by email and sometimes via our social channels. If the change to these terms isn’t deemed to be material, we may choose not to notify you. Should you find a modified term unacceptable, you may terminate your subscription by giving Prelo the standard advance notice.
59. Enforcement of terms:If there’s any part of these terms that either one of us is unable to enforce, we’ll ignore that part but everything else will remain enforceable.
60. Interpretation: Words like ‘include’ and ‘including’ are not words of limitation and where anything is within our discretion, we mean our sole discretion.
61. Prelo contracting entities; law and venue: We currently do not have contracting entities, but when we do, those entities will be carefully displayed on Prelo’s website stating exactly what law and venue they apply in any dispute between you and us.
You’ve made it to the end. Thanks for reading our terms!
