    9. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure it enters into any necessary contractual arrangements with Candidates (whether for temporary, casual, contract or permanent employment). The terms of employment and any contractual arrangements shall be negotiated and agreed between the Customer and the approved Candidate directly. In the event there is a dispute between the Customer and any Candidate (whether it relates to the interview or selection process, the contractual arrangements between the parties or otherwise) – collectively, a "Dispute" - the Customer agrees Workable is not liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Customer resulting from any such Dispute and the Customer hereby releases and holds harmless Workable from any such loss or damage or any liability in relation to any Dispute.
    10. The Customer hereby indemnifies Workable against all losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including but not limited to legal costs) suffered or incurred by Workable which arise directly or indirectly from any Dispute, or any breach by the Customer of clause 4.4.

      2. If the processing carried out by Workable, includes the transfer of Personal Data, which is processed under the UK GDPR, outside the United Kingdom (the “UK”), and such transfer is not governed by an adequacy decision made by the UK Government in accordance with the relevant provisions of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, such transfers are made pursuant to Module Two of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as amended by the UK International Data Transfer Addendum (the “UK Addendum”) available here which is deemed entered into (and incorporated here by reference).

    15. As used under these Terms “Confidential Information” is all information pertaining to business, technology, affairs, customer, clients or suppliers, marketing plans etc. that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential, as disclosed by one party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other (“Receiving Party”). Without limitation Workable’s Confidential information shall include among the others, the Services, pricing, and Quote details. The Receiving party shall hold in trust and maintain as strictly Confidential all Confidential information disclosed to the other. The Receiving party agrees to use the same degree of care to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of Confidential information as the Receiving party uses to prevent disclosure of its own Confidential information, but in any event with no less care than a reasonable party in a similar line of business would apply to the protection of similar information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Confidential Information shall not include, information which has been published other than through a breach of these Terms; information lawfully in the possession of the receiving party without an obligation of confidentiality before its disclosure hereunder took place; information obtained from a third party who is free to disclose it; and information proved to be independently developed by a party.
      1. Confidential information shall only be used by the Receiving party for the purposes of, and to the extent necessary for, performing the obligations of the Receiving party under these Terms, and the Receiving party shall not disclose Confidential information to any third party unless otherwise authorised by the Disclosing party in writing, or except to its Affiliates, employees, subcontractors (collectively, “Representatives”) who need to know such Confidential information for the purpose of exercising the Receiving party’s rights and performing the Receiving party’s obligations under these Terms, provided those Representatives commit themselves to similar confidentiality obligations.
      2. The Receiving Party shall be entitled to make any disclosure of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as may be required by or essential to comply with any law or the requirements of any government or regulatory authority acting within the scope of its powers, provided that (where legally permitted) it gives the Disclosing Party as much notice as is reasonably practicable prior to such disclosure. In addition, the Receiving Party shall take into account the reasonable requests of the Disclosing Party in relation to the content of this disclosure.
