• Immediately notify the Agency in writing within 7 (seven) days of such hiring.
• Pay the full applicable placement fee as per the fee structure in Clause 2, calculated on the candidate's annual CTC.
• Failure to notify shall be treated as a breach of this Agreement and shall additionally attract a penalty of 50% over and above the standard placement fee.

This clause applies regardless of whether the initial introduction resulted in a formal interview or placement, and irrespective of the channel through which the final hire is made (direct application, LinkedIn, referral, or otherwise).

In the event a placed candidate voluntarily resigns or is terminated on performance grounds within the guarantee period from the date of joining, the Agency shall provide a suitable replacement candidate at no additional charge, subject to the following conditions:

• The replacement guarantee is void if the Client changes the job role, CTC, reporting structure, or location after the candidate's joining.
• The guarantee does not apply in cases of termination due to misconduct, redundancy, or business restructuring.
• The replacement shall be provided within a reasonable timeframe subject to market availability.

The Parties acknowledge that a breach of this clause may cause irreparable harm, entitling the non-breaching Party to seek injunctive relief in addition to any other remedies available at law.

The Client agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of 12 (twelve) months after its termination or expiry, it shall not directly or indirectly solicit, employ, engage, or attempt to hire any employee, consultant, or candidate who was introduced by the Agency, without the Agency's prior written consent and payment of the full applicable placement fee. Violation of this clause shall entitle the Agency to recover the full placement fee plus damages and legal costs.

• Treat all information received from the Client as strictly confidential, except as required by law.

Each Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party from and against all losses, damages, costs, and expenses arising out of any breach of warranty, representation, or obligation under this Agreement. Neither Party shall be liable for any indirect, consequential, or special damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be effective from the date of execution and shall remain valid for a period of 1 (one) year, automatically renewing on the same terms unless terminated by either Party with 30 (thirty) days' written notice. Termination shall not relieve either Party of obligations accrued prior to the effective date of termination, including unpaid fees, pending placements, and obligations under Clauses 3, 5, and 6.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall first be attempted to be resolved amicably through mutual negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, the dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at —. The Parties waive any objection to the laying of venue in such courts.
