Terms of Service
Last updated: August 9, 2026
Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using Recruiterbase at https://recruiterbase.co/ (the "Service"), operated by Hypertheory LLC ("we", "our", or "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.
Description of Service
Recruiterbase provides access to a database of finance-industry professionals and related networking tools. The information in the database is compiled from publicly available professional sources and third-party data services, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Eligibility and Account Registration
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. To access certain features you must register for an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity under your account.
Subscriptions and Payments
We offer free and paid subscription plans. Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring monthly basis through Stripe and renew automatically each month until canceled. You may cancel at any time through the billing portal in your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and no refunds are issued for partial months of service. We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days notice; price changes apply to subsequent billing periods, not the current one. If a payment fails, we may suspend access to paid features until payment is resolved. We reserve the right to modify, terminate, or otherwise amend our offered subscription plans.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it. Specifically, you agree not to:
- Use automated methods or scripts to access, scrape, or collect information from the Service
- Engage in mass emailing or spamming of contacts obtained through the Service
- Share your account credentials or subscription access with others
- Attempt to bypass any access restrictions or security measures
- Use contact information obtained through the Service for any purpose other than legitimate professional networking
Use of Contact Information
The contact information provided through the Service is for individual professional networking purposes only. You agree to:
- Use contact information solely for personal, individual networking outreach
- Comply with all laws applicable to your communications, including privacy, anti-spam, and telemarketing laws such as the CAN-SPAM Act
- Not create or maintain your own database of contact information obtained through the Service
- Not sell, distribute, or share contact information obtained through the Service
You are solely responsible for how you use information obtained through the Service and for any communications you send. We do not monitor your outreach and nothing in the Service constitutes a determination that any particular use or communication complies with the laws that apply to you.
Database Content
Information in the database is compiled from publicly available sources and is provided for convenience. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, currency, or deliverability of any profile, email address, or other data point, and we do not guarantee any networking or career outcome from using the Service. You are responsible for verifying information before relying on it. Profiles may be added, updated, or removed at any time, including at the request of the individuals concerned.
Intellectual Property
The Service, including its design, features, branding, database compilation, and underlying technology, is owned by Hypertheory LLC and protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, republish, or transmit any material from the Service without prior written consent, except as the Service is intended to be used.
Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION IN THE DATABASE IS ACCURATE OR CURRENT.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HYPERTHEORY LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR $100, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hypertheory LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your communications with contacts obtained through the Service, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including breach of these terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and the arbitration agreement) remain in effect.
Changes to Terms
We may modify these terms at any time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the updated terms on this page and revising the "Last updated" date at the top, and by email or through the Service where appropriate. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Informal resolution first: Before initiating arbitration, you agree to with a description of the dispute and to attempt in good faith to resolve it informally for 30 days.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in English, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement.
YOU AND HYPERTHEORY LLC EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party's individual claim.
Coordinated filings: If 25 or more arbitration demands raising similar claims are filed against us with the assistance of the same or coordinated counsel, the parties agree the demands shall proceed in staged batches: 10 demands selected by each side proceed first as bellwethers, all other demands are held (with no filing or administrative fees due) until the bellwethers conclude, and the parties shall then mediate the remaining demands in good faith before any of them proceed.
Opt-out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by submitting a request through our with your account email within 30 days of first accepting these terms. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these terms.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes not subject to arbitration shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in these courts.
Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement
These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Hypertheory LLC regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
