Company Terms

Company terms for using Product Foundry.

These terms describe the company path from registration and brief creation through approved shortlist, mutual introduction, contract, payment, engagement, and outcome feedback.

Last updated: August 12, 2026

Draft notice

These plain-language beta terms describe the current Product Foundry workflow. They remain subject to applicable agreements and should be reviewed by qualified Canadian legal counsel before being treated as final legal terms.

Company workspace and team access

  • Company access may require email, domain, website, identity, or administrator review.
  • The workspace owner is responsible for inviting appropriate team members and assigning the least access needed.
  • Company users may act only for their own organization and must not access or attempt to access another company's briefs, shortlists, payments, contracts, or private records.

Briefs and Company Copilot

Companies may create, paste, upload, or conversationally refine a brief. The company remains responsible for confirming scope, required and preferred criteria, budget, timeline, location, confidentiality, and other material terms. FoundryAI suggestions do not silently replace confirmed values, and unresolved blocking information may prevent match-ready approval.

Recommendations and approved shortlists

Match scores and explanations are decision support. Product Foundry reviews material recommendations, uncertain evidence, and possible exclusions before company-facing progression. Companies receive approved shortlist items, not unrestricted raw AI analysis, and must use the supported shortlist workflow for review and next actions.

Introduction requests and talent privacy

  • A company introduction request must reference an approved shortlist item and be submitted by an authorized company user.
  • A request does not guarantee talent interest, availability, approval, or contact release.
  • Talent identity, contact details, private profile information, verification evidence, and private decline reasons remain protected until the required workflow conditions are satisfied.
  • Companies must not attempt to identify or contact anonymized talent outside the approved introduction process.

Interviews, contracts, and engagement

Companies are responsible for lawful interview, hiring, contractor-classification, accessibility, non-discrimination, tax, workplace, and engagement practices. Existing Product Foundry workflows may coordinate interviews, contracts, payments, milestones, and outcomes, but the applicable signed agreement controls the parties' obligations.

Pricing and payment

Project Match starts at USD $499 per brief, Fractional Bench at USD $799 per month, and Managed Search at USD $2,500, subject to the Pricing and Payment Terms pages and any accepted order or agreement. Talent compensation and engagement expenses are separate. Success or conversion fees may apply where disclosed and agreed.

Feedback and calibration

Companies may provide structured feedback and optional notes at supported workflow stages. Feedback should be accurate, professional, relevant, and free of unlawful discrimination. Private notes are not automatically shared with talent. Feedback may propose reviewable calibration signals but cannot directly set permanent marketplace weights or create a hard exclusion.

No circumvention or misuse

Companies must not misuse confidential information, scrape profiles, bypass fees or introductions, solicit talent using improperly obtained contact details, interfere with platform workflows, or use Product Foundry information for unrelated profiling, surveillance, or discriminatory decisions.

No outcome guarantee

Product Foundry does not guarantee a particular shortlist, introduction, interview, acceptance, engagement, or outcome. The company remains responsible for diligence, decisions, professional advice, and compliance with its obligations.
