Terms of Service

Last updated: February 2, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms“) govern your access to and use of the website, platforms, products, and services provided by Rise92 (“Rise92,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.

Rise92 operates as a premium global talent partner providing curated talent services, hosted employment (Employer of Record/EOR), and PeopleOps support. We are not a staffing agency or marketplace. Our Services are relationship-driven, at-cost, and designed for long-term collaboration.

1. Definitions

  • Client: Any company, organization, or individual engaging Rise92 for talent, EOR, or PeopleOps services.
  • Talent: Any professional vetted, represented, or supported by Rise92.
  • Services: Talent curation, hiring facilitation, hosted employment (EOR), PeopleOps, compliance, and related advisory services.
  • Hosted Employment/EOR: Employment arrangements where Rise92 (or its local partner) acts as the legal employer for Talent, while the Client directs day-to-day work.

2. Scope of Services

Rise92 provides modular services that may be engaged independently or in combination, subject to a written agreement.

2.1 Talent Curation

Rise92 facilitates curated introductions to vetted, off-market professionals. Talent curation services are advisory and matchmaking-focused in nature. Rise92 does not act as an agent for either party and does not guarantee hiring outcomes, performance, retention, or business results.

2.2 Hosted Employment (Employer of Record)

Where explicitly agreed, Rise92 or its authorized local partners may act as the Employer of Record (EOR). Under EOR arrangements:

  • Rise92 administers employment contracts, payroll, statutory benefits, and local compliance
  • The Client retains full responsibility for role definition, work allocation, supervision, and performance management
  • No employment relationship is created between the Client and the Talent unless expressly stated in writing

2.3 PeopleOps Services

PeopleOps services extend beyond statutory employment and may include HR operations support, employee relations facilitation, performance frameworks, attendance coordination, and PeopleOps advisory support. These services are operational in nature and do not constitute legal, tax, or financial advice.

3. Client Obligations

Clients agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete information regarding hiring needs, role requirements, and compliance constraints
  • Use Talent in accordance with applicable laws, professional standards, and ethical practices
  • Maintain a safe, respectful, and non-discriminatory work environment
  • Refrain from engaging Talent outside Rise92 arrangements without prior written consent

Clients are solely responsible for business decisions, deliverables, and outcomes resulting from the use of the Services.

4. Talent Obligations

Talent agrees to:

  • Provide accurate professional and personal information
  • Perform services professionally, lawfully, and in accordance with agreed expectations
  • Comply with applicable employment policies, codes of conduct, and confidentiality obligations

Failure to meet these obligations may result in suspension or termination of engagement.

5. Fees and Payments

5.1 Pricing Structure

Fees for Services may include placement fees, monthly service fees, pass-through costs, or a combination thereof, as outlined in applicable agreements. Publicly displayed prices are indicative and may vary based on scope, geography, and customization.

5.2 At-Cost Model

Where referenced, the term “at-cost” refers to transparent pricing without agency-style markups on talent compensation. Rise92 service fees are charged separately and disclosed in writing.

5.3 Payments

Clients are responsible for timely payment of all invoices. Rise92 may suspend Services for non-payment. Taxes, benefits, insurance premiums, and reimbursable expenses are billed separately unless stated otherwise.

6. Confidentiality

All non-public information shared between Rise92, Clients, and Talent is considered confidential. Each party agrees to:

  • Use confidential information solely for the purposes of the Services
  • Protect such information with reasonable care
  • Not disclose confidential information without prior authorization, except as required by law

7. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • All work product created by Talent for Clients belongs to the Client
  • Rise92 retains all rights to its methodologies, processes, frameworks, and materials
  • No license is granted to use Rise92 trademarks, branding, or proprietary materials without consent

8. Compliance, Third Parties, and Legal Responsibility

8.1 Third-Party Providers

Certain Services may involve third-party providers, including payroll processors, insurance carriers, background screening vendors, office or IT vendors, and benefits providers. Rise92 facilitates access to such providers but does not control or warrant third-party services.

8.2 Add-On Services

Optional add-on services, including but not limited to insurance facilitation, background screening, workplace setup, asset procurement, and events, are provided on a best-effort facilitation basis and may be subject to additional terms imposed by third parties.

8.3 Client Responsibility

Clients remain responsible for:

  • Business outcomes and operational decisions
  • Compliance with industry-specific regulations
  • Lawful and ethical treatment of Talent

Rise92 does not provide legal, tax, or regulatory advice.

9. Termination

Either party may terminate Services in accordance with the applicable service agreement. Upon termination:

  • Outstanding fees remain payable
  • Confidentiality and intellectual property provisions survive
  • Rise92 may transition Talent or conclude employment in accordance with applicable laws

10. Disclaimers

Services are provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Rise92 disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • Rise92 shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
  • Rise92 is not responsible for acts or omissions of Clients, Talent, or third-party providers
  • Rise92’s total liability arising out of or related to the Services shall not exceed the fees paid by the Client to Rise92 in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim

12. Indemnification

Clients agree to indemnify and hold harmless Rise92 from claims, losses, or liabilities arising from:

  • Client’s misuse of the Services
  • Client’s violation of applicable laws or these Terms
