Terms of Service
Last updated: July 16, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Asiatal website (asiatal.com) and services ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, clients, and talent who access or use the Service.
2. Description of Service
Asiatal provides a talent matching and placement service that connects companies ("Clients") with dedicated engineers, marketers, and designers ("Talent") based in Southeast Asia. Our services include talent vetting, matching, onboarding support, and ongoing management (for monthly plan clients).
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into binding agreements to use our Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
4. Client Terms
4.1 Engagement Models
We offer three engagement models for engineers, marketers, and designers:
- Monthly ($499/month retainer fee per hire): A flat retainer fee covering the full hiring lifecycle: discovery consultation and JDs, candidate sourcing and headhunting, multi-stage vetting and scoring, interviews and aptitude tests, offer management and negotiation, onboarding coordination, Employer of Record (EOR), managed payroll, and ongoing local compliance. You pay the agreed talent compensation plus our monthly fee. The talent works exclusively for you full-time. Minimum commitment: 6 months.
- Recruiting Partner (15% per hire): One-time placement fee. The talent joins your payroll directly after placement.
4.2 Payment Terms
You pay the agreed talent compensation plus our monthly retainer fee to Asiatal. We manage payroll and disburse compensation to the talent. Flat fees are due upon successful placement. All retainer fee amounts are in USD. Late payments may incur a charge of 1.5% per month on overdue amounts.
4.3 Commitment Period
The monthly plan requires a minimum commitment of 6 months. After the minimum period, either party may terminate with 30 days written notice. Early termination before the minimum period may incur a fee equal to the remaining months' retainer fee charges.
4.4 Replacement Guarantee
If a placed talent is not the right fit, we will provide a replacement at no additional cost. For the monthly plan, this guarantee applies at any time during the engagement. For the Recruiting Partner plan, this guarantee covers the first 90 days after placement.
5. Talent Terms
5.1 Application & Vetting
By applying to join the Asiatal talent network, you agree to undergo our screening process. Acceptance into the network is at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to remove talent from our network at any time.
5.2 Exclusivity
When matched with a client through a monthly plan, you agree to work exclusively for that client during your contracted hours. You may not take on additional freelance work or employment that conflicts with your commitment.
5.3 Conduct
Talent must maintain professional standards, meet agreed-upon work hours, communicate proactively, and deliver work of the quality expected based on their vetted profile.
6. Intellectual Property
All work produced by talent during a client engagement belongs to the client, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Asiatal website, brand, content, and proprietary processes remain the intellectual property of Asiatal.
7. Confidentiality
Both clients and talent agree to maintain the confidentiality of proprietary information shared during the engagement. This includes, but is not limited to, business plans, technical specifications, customer data, and financial information. This obligation survives termination of the engagement.
8. Non-Solicitation
Clients agree not to directly hire or solicit Asiatal talent outside of our platform during an active engagement and for 12 months after termination, unless the applicable flat fee (15%) or a buyout fee has been paid. This clause protects our talent network and business model.
9. Limitation of Liability
Asiatal provides a matching and management service. We are not liable for the specific output, performance, or conduct of individual talent beyond our vetting and replacement guarantee obligations. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Asiatal's total liability shall not exceed the fees paid by the client in the 3 months preceding the claim.
10. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the Service, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee specific results from using our Service.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Asiatal, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.
12. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration.
13. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a prominent notice on our website. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
