15.3 Candidate and Employee Offers and Content. To the extent that you provide employment offers to prospective candidates or total rewards summaries to employees, you take sole responsibility for ensuring that the necessary and appropriate information, numbers, disclosures, financial terms and employment terms for each employment offer and total rewards dashboards are complete and accurate. The total rewards summaries provided in the product are solely a hypothetical example and are not a forecast, promise, or guarantee of any compensation or type of compensation. Factors incorporated into total compensation, such as non-cash value estimates, are not promises of any compensation or type of compensation and are subject to change. Current and future valuations, cost to exercise, price per share, and ownership percentage may be higher or lower, and may or may not take into account dilution from any potential transactions which may subsequently occur. This is for general informational purposes only and is not to be construed as legal, financial or tax advice. Nothing therein is intended to create an offer or binding agreement of any nature. You are responsible for fulfilling any employment offers, compensation or rewards that you make to your employees and/or applicants. WORKIT™ MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AND TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY EMPLOYMENT OFFERS OR TOTAL REWARDS SUMMARIES (OR ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY YOU IN CONNECTION THEREWITH) THAT ARE CREATED, VIEWED, REJECTED OR ACCEPTED IN THE SERVICES.
15.4 Third Party Services. You acknowledge and agree that you shall be solely responsible for procuring and complying with any license or right to use any Third-Party Services (“Third-Party Services” means any services used in connection with the Services that are hosted or provided by a person or entity other than WORKIT™ , whether linked to, integrated with, or connected to the Services by you or WORKIT™ ). Neither these Terms nor our Privacy Policy shall apply with respect to data stored on or manipulated by, or during transmission by means of use of Third-Party Services. For purposes of these Terms, Third-Party Services are subject to their own terms and conditions and you use such Third-Party Services at your own risk.

eSignature Service
16.1 The “eSignature Service” is a service provided by WORKIT™ for two counterparties (usually a company, herein described as the “sending party,” subscribing to WORKIT™ ’s services and an employee, employee-candidate or contractor) to electronically sign documents (including, but not limited to, agreements, policies, forms, etc.). If you use the eSignature Service offered by WORKIT™ , you acknowledge and agree to the statements set forth in this Section. Whenever you sign a document using WORKIT™ ’s eSignature Service you affirmatively consent to using electronic signatures via the eSignature Service and consent to conducting electronic business transactions. You also confirm that you are able to access the eSignature Service and the document you are signing electronically. When using the eSignature Service for a particular document, your consent applies only to the matter(s) covered by that particular document.
16.2 You are not required to use the eSignature Service or accept electronic documents provided thereby. If you are an employee, employee-candidate or contractor and you choose to not use the eSignature Service, you may still sign the document manually by notifying the sending party that you are choosing to do so and by obtaining a non-electronic copy of the document from them. WORKIT™ assumes no responsibility for providing you with a non-electronic version of the document. In the event you are choosing to sign the document manually, do not use the eSignature Service to sign the document or to return the document to the sending party.
16.3 If you have signed a document electronically using the eSignature Service and transmitted it back to the sending party, WORKIT™ will provide you the opportunity to download and print a paper copy of the document at no charge. If you later withdraw your consent to using the eSignature Service, please notify the sending party and stop using the eSignature Service. Note that the decision to stop using the eSignature Service after you have already used it does not change the legality of the documents you have previously signed using an electronic signature.
16.4 When counterparties sign a document electronically using the eSignature Service, the rights and duties associated with that document are solely those of the counterparties. WORKIT™ is not a party to the document and carries no liability or responsibility with respect to the correctness, validity or enforcement of the document; nor does WORKIT™ have any liability or responsibility with respect to the legal or non-legal aspects of the document or any dispute arising as a result of the document. WORKIT™ ’s sole responsibility is provision of the eSignature Service and customer service associated therewith.
16.5 PLEASE NOTE THAT WORKIT™ ’S STATEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN OR ELSEWHERE CONCERNING THE VALIDITY OF ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS AND/OR THE SIGNATURE LINES OF DOCUMENTS THAT ARE ELECTRONICALLY SIGNED ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY; THEY ARE GENERAL IN NATURE AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGAL ADVICE. UNDER FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS GOVERNING ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES ON CERTAIN TYPES OF AGREEMENTS ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE. WORKIT™ HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ENSURING THAT DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY SIGNED THROUGH WORKIT™ ’S ESIGNATURE SERVICE ARE VALID OR ENFORCEABLE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ANY PARTICULAR STATE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL JURISDICTION. YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL CONCERNING THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY DOCUMENT YOU MAY SIGN ELECTRONICALLY USING THE WORKIT™ ESIGNATURE SERVICE.
