Scheduled maintenance will be communicated in advance. In the event of unplanned downtime, we will work to restore service as quickly as possible and communicate status updates through email or WhatsApp.

05

Pricing

Free Trial and Beta:

We may offer free trials or beta access to qualifying customers with no payment required. Beta features and access are governed by Section 22 of these Terms. If a separate Beta Participation Agreement is signed, its terms take precedence over these Terms for the duration of the beta period.

Subscription:

When you move to a paid plan, billing is annual in advance with renewal subject to mutual agreement on terms.

Pay As You Go:

Additional features such as extra job postings, bulk resume processing, and premium client dashboards are billed monthly based on actual usage.

We can change pricing with 60 days notice. Pricing changes will not affect the current billing period. For current pricing, contact sales@hiraai.com.

06

Payment

Payment is currently processed through direct bank transfer to Hira AI Solutions FZC. We may introduce online payment processing in the future, and will notify you before any change to payment methods.

Annual fees are due at subscription start. Usage fees are billed monthly within 10 days of month end. Invoices are due within 15 days. Late payments incur 1.5% monthly fees and may result in service suspension. All fees exclude applicable taxes, which you are responsible for. Subscription fees are non-refundable.

07

Cancellation

Your subscription runs for one year from the start date. Before your subscription ends, we will contact you to discuss renewal terms. Renewal requires mutual agreement on pricing and terms. If you choose not to renew, notify us at least 30 days before your subscription ends.

We can terminate immediately if you breach these Terms, use services illegally, fail to pay for 45 or more days, or take actions that harm the platform or other users.

Upon termination: access stops immediately, outstanding fees become due, and you have 60 days to export your data before it is permanently deleted.
08

Upgrades and Downgrades

Upgrade anytime with prorated charges. Downgrade at term end only. If you exceed new plan limits after downgrading, reduce usage within 15 days or pay usage fees for the excess.

09

Your Data and Cross-Border Transfers

Data Ownership:

You own all data you upload to the platform, including candidate information, job descriptions, client data, and evaluation records. We process this data only to provide the services described in these Terms.

Data Storage Location:

Platform data is stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers located in the European Union. This means personal data collected in the UAE is transferred to and processed on EU servers.

Legal Basis for Transfer:

Under Articles 22 and 23 of UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 (PDPL), this transfer is permitted because: (a) the EU maintains data protection standards (GDPR) equivalent to or exceeding the UAE PDPL, (b) we maintain contractual safeguards with AWS through their Data Processing Addendum, and (c) during onboarding, each user is informed of and provides explicit consent to this cross-border transfer for the purpose of service delivery.

AI Processing:

Data sent to OpenAI through the Business API for AI-powered features may be processed on servers outside the UAE and EU. OpenAI's Business API terms contractually prohibit the use of customer data for model training. We send only the minimum data required for each operation: resume text, job description content, candidate skill assessment responses, interview transcripts, and profile data required for report generation.

Your Obligations:

You must have proper consent from candidates before uploading their data to the platform. You must comply with all applicable data protection laws, including UAE PDPL. You are responsible for informing your candidates that their data will be processed on EU servers and that AI processing may occur on servers outside the UAE and EU.

Data Export:

You can export your data at any time through the platform.

Post-Termination:

We retain your data for 60 days after termination to allow export, then permanently delete it unless a longer retention period is required by UAE law.

For full details on data collection, processing, retention, and your rights, see our Privacy and Data Policy.

  • Break any applicable law or regulation
  • Discriminate against candidates on any prohibited ground
  • Upload malware or harmful code
  • Access other users' accounts without authorization
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the platform
  • Resell, sublicense, or commercially redistribute our services
  • Scrape data from the platform or disrupt its operation

You are responsible for complying with all employment and labor laws applicable to your jurisdiction and hiring activities. Violations may result in immediate termination without refund.

11

AI Disclaimer

Hira AI uses artificial intelligence to assist with recruitment workflows, including candidate screening, skill validation, interview guidance, transcript analysis, and report generation.

Important: AI provides recommendations and analysis to support your decisions, not replace them. AI outputs may contain errors or inaccuracies. You must apply human judgment to all hiring decisions. We do not guarantee placements, candidate quality, or specific hiring outcomes. While we work to reduce algorithmic bias, you remain responsible for ensuring fair and non-discriminatory hiring practices. AI-generated interview guides and candidate reports are tools to support assessment, not definitive evaluations.
12

Service Warranty Disclaimer

The platform and all services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the platform will be error-free, secure, or available at all times.

13

Intellectual Property

We own the platform, all software, AI models, algorithms, and underlying technology. You own your data.

AI-generated outputs (job descriptions, interview guides, candidate reports) created using your data are licensed to you for your recruitment purposes for the duration of your subscription. After termination, you may continue to use AI-generated outputs that you exported or downloaded during your subscription, but you may not generate new outputs using the platform.

If you provide feedback about the platform, we may use it freely to improve our services. Do not use our trademarks, logos, or brand assets without written permission.

14

Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep the other's confidential business information private:

  • Use confidential information only for the purposes of this agreement.
  • Do not share confidential information with third parties without prior written consent.
  • This obligation survives termination of these Terms for 2 years.
15

Liability Limits

Our total liability for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the platform is capped at the amount you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

We are not liable for indirect, consequential, incidental, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or reputational harm.

Exceptions: These limits do not apply to breaches of data protection obligations under Section 9 and our Privacy and Data Policy, intellectual property breaches, violations of the Acceptable Use section, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any liability that UAE law does not permit us to limit.
16

Indemnification

Your Indemnification:

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Hira AI harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from: your use of the platform, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any applicable law, the data you upload or process through the platform, your hiring decisions, or your failure to obtain proper consent from candidates or clients.

Our Indemnification:

Hira AI agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold you harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses arising directly from: a breach of our data protection obligations as described in our Privacy and Data Policy, or our gross negligence or willful misconduct in handling your data.
17

Client Management

When you (as an agency) give your clients access to client dashboards, you are responsible for:

  • Obtaining their consent to share relevant candidate and job data
  • Managing their dashboard permissions and access levels
  • Complying with your own agreements with your clients
  • Ensuring the accuracy of information shared with clients through the platform
18

WhatsApp AI Agent

The WhatsApp AI Agent communicates with candidates on behalf of the recruitment agency. By using this feature, you acknowledge that:

  • Conversations are processed by AI and stored only while the candidate's status is active in the recruitment process
  • Candidates can opt out of communication by replying STOP at any time
  • The agency (not Hira AI) is responsible for the accuracy and appropriateness of job-related information provided to candidates
  • WhatsApp's own terms of service apply to the use of the WhatsApp platform

WhatsApp Service Dependency:

The WhatsApp AI Agent relies on WhatsApp's Business API provided through our integration partner (YCloud). If WhatsApp or YCloud experiences outages, changes their API terms, or restricts access, the WhatsApp AI Agent functionality may be temporarily or permanently affected. In such an event, Hira AI will notify affected users promptly and work to restore functionality or provide alternative communication channels. Hira AI is not liable for service interruptions caused by WhatsApp or YCloud.
19

Third Party Services

We integrate with job boards (LinkedIn, Bayt, Glassdoor, Monster, and others), calendar systems, video conferencing tools (Teams, Zoom, Google Meet), and WhatsApp. Their respective terms of service apply to your use of those services. We are not responsible for changes, outages, or discontinuation of any third-party service.

20

Data Breach

In the event of a personal data breach affecting your data, we will notify you without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. We will provide details of the nature of the breach, the data affected, and the steps we are taking to address it. For full details on our breach notification process, see Section 13 of our Privacy and Data Policy.

21

Changes to Terms

We can modify these Terms with 30 days notice via email or WhatsApp. Continued use of the platform after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance. If you disagree with the changes, you must cancel your subscription before the changes take effect.

22

Beta Features

Beta features are provided “as is” and may be changed, limited, or discontinued at any time without notice. Service level commitments, uptime targets, and support response times do not apply to beta features. Data processed through beta features is subject to the same data protection standards as the rest of the platform. If you have signed a separate Beta Participation Agreement, the terms of that agreement govern your beta access and take precedence over this section where they conflict. By using beta features, you understand and accept these limitations.

23

Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates. Courts of Sharjah have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising from these Terms.

Before pursuing legal action, both parties agree to attempt informal resolution by emailing hello@hiraai.com. If informal resolution fails within 30 days, either party may initiate binding arbitration in Sharjah under UAE Arbitration Law.

24

General

These Terms, together with our Privacy and Data Policy, constitute the complete agreement between you and Hira AI Solutions FZC. You cannot transfer or assign your account or any rights under these Terms without our written consent. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.

Force Majeure:

Neither party is liable for failure to perform obligations due to events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, wars, government actions, pandemics, infrastructure failures, cloud service provider outages (including AWS), third-party API failures (including OpenAI and WhatsApp/YCloud), internet service disruptions, and cyberattacks.
