WEBSITE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE

Last updated January 2026

Welcome to the website of the Personnel Research and Development Corporation (“PRADCO”) (the “Site”), which is owned and operated by PRADCO. These Website Terms and Conditions of Use (the “Terms of Use”) should be read carefully upon visiting or otherwise using the Site. Please check back periodically, as PRADCO reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use from time to time, in our sole discretion, and without notice.

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS.

This Site provides information concerning PRADCO and its products and services. The sale of all goods supplied and services rendered by PRADCO to any purchaser thereof (“Customer”) is governed by PRADCO’s General Terms and Conditions, which are fully incorporated herein by reference. Certain PRADCO services are made available through the Site (“Web-based Services”), such as testing of employees or prospective employees. These Terms of Use apply to anyone who uses the Site (“you” and “your”), including visitors browsing the Site, Customers who contract with PRADCO for PRADCO to deliver Web-based Services or who purchase products through the Site, and those individuals who are directed by Customers to visit the Site in order to access Web-based Services, whether or not they are employed by the Customer (“Designees”). (Both the General Terms and Conditions and these Terms of Use apply to Customers who contract for Web-based Services or who purchase products through the Site.)

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU CONTINUE. BY ACCESSING THIS WEBSITE OR USING ANY OF ITS FEATURES, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE AND ARE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE IN THEIR ENTIRETY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE PLEASE REDIRECT YOUR BROWSER AND EXIT THE SITE.

2. USER NAMES, PASSWORDS, AND UNAUTHORIZED USE.

Only Customers who have contracted with PRADCO for PRADCO to deliver Web-based Services, and the Designees of such Customers (collectively, “Permitted Users”) are permitted to access Web-based Services. Access is accomplished through the use of user names, passwords, and other access controls which will be issued to each Customer by PRADCO. EACH CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING ITS USER NAMES, PASSWORDS AND ANY OTHER ACCESS CONTROLS CONFIDENTIAL AND FOR TAKING OTHER REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT THEIR UNAUTHORIZED USE BY DESIGNEES OR OTHERS. Each Customer agrees to notify PRADCO promptly of any unauthorized use of which it become aware of its user names, passwords, or other access controls. Each Designee agrees to notify the Customer who directed the Designee to use the Site promptly of any unauthorized use of which it becomes aware of such Customer’s user names, passwords, or other access controls. Until a Customer provides such notice to PRADCO, PRADCO will presume that all use of that Customer’s user names, passwords, and other access controls is authorized by that Client, and Customer will be responsible for any fees incurred, and for any activity on the Site, by anyone using that Client’s user names, passwords and other access controls.

PRADCO will not be liable if, for any reason, all or any part of the Site is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Site, or the entire Site, to Customers, Designees, and visitors, as determined in our sole discretion without notice. Customer and Designees are responsible for both: (i) making all arrangements necessary to have access to the Site; and (ii) ensuring that all persons who access the Site through their own internet connection are aware of these Terms of Use and comply with them.
