OBJECT - By means of this Contract, THE CLIENT hires the services of TMAPP for the recruitment of profiles. As consideration for the services provided by TMAPP, THE CLIENT shall pay the amount defined in clause two. At the beginning of each new search or each new Mapping, TMAPP shall discuss the profile with THE CLIENT and determine the specific conditions and other applicable attributes for the process. In turn, TMAPP undertakes to carry out all necessary procedures and actions to find, at a minimum, the number of candidates defined in the proposal, within the delivery time stipulated therein.
PRICE - For the payment of the fees to be borne by THE CLIENT, the parties agree to proceed in accordance with the terms established in the commercial proposal. For any case chosen by THE CLIENT, TMAPP shall issue an invoice for the respective amounts, complying with the applicable tax provisions and adding the taxes that are applicable at the time of issuing the invoice. Payment of the invoice must be made within 30 (thirty) days following the date of issuance of the invoice.
Paragraph: Once the payment period for the invoice established in clause two has expired, the failure to pay any amount owed by the Client to TMAPP under this Contract shall result in a penalty equivalent to 2% (two percent) of the total amount payable by the Client for each month of delay, and the payment of default interest at a rate of 2% (two percent) per month, calculated proportionally on the total amount of the outstanding payment, without prejudice to TMAPP's right to initiate judicial and/or extrajudicial measures it deems necessary to enforce the collection of such sums, from the moment the Client is in default with the payment for the services subject to this Contract. TMAPP is authorized to report THE CLIENT to credit bureaus in Colombia (such as DATACRÉDITO, among others).
SCOPE OF SERVICES - Everything related to the medical examinations of the candidates and the necessary measures for the candidates to obtain the corresponding work permit or any other required authorization shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of THE CLIENT, who shall facilitate the completion of any act aimed at obtaining said permits or authorizations. Additionally, THE CLIENT shall ensure that the hiring of the candidate does not in any way constitute a breach of the current labor legislation, and any non-compliance in this regard shall be its sole responsibility.
TMAPP shall not be responsible in any case to THE CLIENT for damages, costs, claims, or expenses incurred by THE CLIENT or claimed by third parties as a result of the selection or hiring of the candidates. It is expressly agreed and understood that THE CLIENT shall be responsible for the management and payment of all employment benefits to be borne by the candidates who are employed by it, and therefore shall hold TMAPP harmless from any damages, claims, or demands that any of the candidates linked to the Client may initiate against TMAPP for these reasons.
WARRANTY - If for any reason, the candidate presented and chosen by the Client leaves the position during the warranty period, T-mapp undertakes to initiate a new search process at no additional cost, for the agreed-upon time in the commercial terms.
POST-HIRE - All candidates introduced by TMAPP to the client and subsequently hired within a period of 18 months from the date of presentation shall generate the fees stipulated in clause two of this Contract to be paid from the client to TMAPP. Additionally, if a candidate presented by TMAPP rejects the initial job offer from the client but is hired by the client during the 18-month period, this will also trigger the payment from the client to TMAPP.
EXCLUSION OF EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP - The Parties accept and understand that there is no employment relationship or subordination between them. TMAPP is an independent company, which has complete autonomy in its functions. TMAPP shall personally bear the expenses derived from its commercial operation.
CANCELLATION - TMAPP does not charge a cancellation fee. In any case, the Client shall pay the fees related to the stages of services effectively provided up to the moment of cancellation. If after the cancellation of a candidate search, the Client makes a job offer to a candidate presented by TMAPP, the Client shall pay TMAPP the agreed-upon fees for the search of said candidate. Under no circumstances will the amounts paid by the Client prior to the eventual cancellation of services be converted into credits in favor of the Client for other positions, nor can they be refunded.
DURATION - The selection services shall not have a duration exceeding six (6) months from the date of signing the Contract unless otherwise expressly stipulated in the special conditions. If, after this period, none of the candidates presented by TMAPP have been hired by the Client, it shall be deemed that the service is canceled by the Client, and in such case, the provisions of the previous clause shall apply.
In the event that the Client decides to hire (or engage) more candidates than those contractually anticipated or required by TMAPP within a period of 18 months from the start date of TMAPP's service, the Client shall pay TMAPP the fees corresponding to each of the contracted candidates as described in clause two (2) of the Contract and according to the fee option selected by the Client.
ABSENCE OF REPRESENTATION - This Contract is a purely commercial contract that governs the relationship between TMAPP and THE CLIENT. Therefore, there is only a commercial relationship between the Parties as stated in this Contract, and there is no agency relationship, joint venture, de facto partnership, joint accounts agreement, or any other form of association other than what is stated herein.
