Ownership of Employer Relationships: Prentus acknowledges the importance of the relationship between Communities and Employers. Should a Community invite an Employer to access its portal within the Platform, such Community is deemed to own the relationship with the Employer.

Employer Access Across Portals: Employers that register or are invited to a portal dedicated to a specific Community may utilize their existing login credentials to access other Communities' portals within the Platform, including the main Prentus portal. This feature is designed to facilitate a seamless integration of Employers into the broader Prentus network, thereby enhancing the job search and placement process for Members.
Prentus-Sourced Employer Partnerships: Employers that engage with the Platform independently of any Community invitation retain the right to request partnership with any Community within the Prentus network.

Such settings may include, but are not limited to, requiring Community approval before an Employer can engage with the talent pool.
Fee Structure for Employer Access: Prentus reserves the right to implement a fee structure for Employers that wish to post job opportunities or browse the talent pool within the Prentus network. Prentus acknowledges that the current fee structure is experimental and subject to future adjustments.
Community-Initiated Payment Systems: Communities have the option to implement Stripe Connect or similar payment processing systems to facilitate payments from Employers seeking access to their specific talent pool. Prentus will levy a service fee equivalent to 5% of any payments processed through such systems established by Communities. This fee is intended to cover the costs associated with the integration and maintenance of payment processing capabilities on the Platform.
