Hire by WorkWave may revise these Terms and Conditions at any time by updating this document and providing appropriate notification therewith.

Use of Site and Content

Hire by WorkWave exclusively owns all content on this site including, but not limited to, text, graphics, logos, data, page layout and look and feel of the web pages (all referred to as the "Content"). The Content is protected under U.S. and international copyright laws. Your use of our services or website gives you no rights in or to our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or any other intellectual property rights displayed on our site.

You must display all copyright, trademark, service marks and other proprietary notices contained in the original Content on any copy you make of the Content. You may not sell or modify the Content or reproduce, display, distribute or otherwise use, publicly or privately, the Content for any commercial or other purpose not specifically authorized by us. The use of the Content on any other website, in a link from any other website or in a networked computer environment for any purpose is prohibited.

You are not permitted to use Hire by WorkWave’s Site or its content other than for non-commercial purposes. Use of any automated system or software, whether operated by a third party or otherwise, to extract data from the Site (such as screen scraping or crawling) is prohibited. Hire by WorkWave reserves the right to take such action as it considers necessary, including issuing legal proceedings without further notice, in relation to any unauthorized use of the Site. If you wish to make commercial use of the Site, if you wish to make use of the Site in any capacity other than that of a Jobseeker or Employer, you must have a prior written agreement to do so.

Notice to Job Seekers: If you are a Job Seeker, any resume or application information that you submit through the Site, including Personal Data included in a resume or application, is subject to this Agreement and to Hire by WorkWave’s Privacy Policy. When you indicate your interest in a Job Listing through Hire by WorkWave you are requesting and authorizing Hire by WorkWave to make available such application information to the applicable Employer(s) for such Job Listing(s). Hire by WorkWave does not guarantee that any Employer will receive, be notified about, access, read or respond to any such resume or application material, or that there will be no mistakes in the transmission or storage of the data.

Hire by WorkWave may offer you the opportunity to receive text messages related to, but not limited to, application completion reminders, scheduled interview reminders, or notifications of steps taken with your application. By entering your phone number during registration (or updates made post-initial registration) you are representing and confirming it is your number and you have the right to accept text messages at the number. Please note that since these text message services depend on the functionality of third-party providers, there may be technical delays on the part of those providers. We also cannot vouch for the technical capabilities of any third parties to receive such text messages.

In addition, please note that Hire by WorkWave may automatically send you recommended jobs via the email address you use to create a Hire by WorkWave account or apply to a job. Hire by WorkWave may determine what these recommended jobs are on the basis of a variety of factors, including but not limited to, any information you input on the Site about yourself, searches you run on the Site, jobs you click on, jobs you apply to, or the materials you provide in a job application or resume to an Employer through Hire by WorkWave.

By using Hire by WorkWave, you agree that Hire by WorkWave is not responsible for the content of the Employer’s Job Ad, application form, messages, screener questions, testing assessments or their format or method of delivery and that Hire by WorkWave does not guarantee receipt of your application by the Employer, or your receipt of messages from the Employer. Please note that Hire by WorkWave does not choose the questions asked by Employers or decide the job qualification criteria of Employers.

Additionally, you consent to your application and any responses sent to you by the Employer through Hire by WorkWave being processed and analyzed by Hire by WorkWave according to this Agreement and Hire by WorkWave’s Privacy Policy. Hire by WorkWave shall store such information regardless of whether a job vacancy has been filled. Hire by WorkWave does not guarantee the identity of an Employer or any individuals working for any Employers, and cautions Job Seekers when applying to jobs. Hire by WorkWave does not guarantee the validity of a job offer and cautions Job Seekers to verify the validity of a job offer before taking an adverse action regarding their current employment situations. Job Seekers are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any Employer or job offer.

Notice to Employers: If you are an Employer, when you create an Hire by WorkWave account or post a Job Listing on the Site, you agree that this Agreement and our Privacy Policy apply to you and to the Job Seekers using the Site or indicating an interest in such Job Listings. Hire by WorkWave will attempt to send applications to the contact information provided to Hire by WorkWave by you, the Employer. Hire by WorkWave has no ability to verify the contact information provided by You. In the event you provide incorrect contact information, it shall be your responsibility to correct, appropriately respond, or take any steps necessary to protect the privacy of such Job Seekers, and you indemnify Hire by WorkWave for any damages resulting therefrom. Hire by WorkWave may send emails to Job Seekers on your behalf indicating that your Job Listing is potentially a match for the Job Seeker’s resume. Hire by WorkWave does not verify the identity of any Job Seekers who apply to your job listing, nor does Hire by WorkWave know a Job Seeker’s motivation for applying to your job listing, and thus provides no guarantee as to the Job Seeker’s qualifications or interest in your job listing. You are responsible for any Job Listings that you post, including any questions for Job Seekers.

Third-Party/External Sites

The Site may contain links to other sites on the Internet which are owned and/or operated by third-party vendors and other third parties (the “External Sites”). You acknowledge that Hire by WorkWave is not responsible or liable for any such third parties or for the availability of, or the materials located on or through, any External Sites. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by Hire by WorkWave of the contents on such third-party websites. Hire by WorkWave is not responsible for the content of linked third-party sites and does not make any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such third-party websites. You should contact the site administrator or webmaster for the applicable External Site if you have any concerns regarding such links or the materials located on an External Site. We are not responsible for any content or services provided by these third parties and disclaim all liability from anything that may occur when you utilize such third parties.

User Content

You must not post any User Content that is unlawful, fraudulent, discriminatory, threatening, abusive, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable, or that contains sexual, ethnic, racial or other discriminating slurs, or that contains no relevant or constructive content. You must also not post any User Content that contains proprietary information, trade secrets, confidential information, advertisements, solicitations, chain letters, pyramid schemes, investment opportunities, or other unsolicited commercial communication (except as otherwise expressly permitted by us in writing) or encourages or causes spamming or flooding.

You are prohibited from posting any User Content containing official identification information (whether your own or of another person), such as social security number, passport number, national identification number, insurance number, driver’s license number, immigration number, or any other similar number, code, or identifier. Posting such identification information may lead to identity theft and other adverse consequences. Hire by WorkWave may remove any such identification information, but does not undertake any obligation to do so, and has no responsibility and disclaims all liability for any posting of such identification information. Hire by WorkWave reserves the right to change the display of resume on its Site, including, but not limited to, hiding fields, rearranging its format, and changing visual elements.

Although Hire by WorkWave has no obligation to do so, Hire by WorkWave may monitor User Content, and reserves the right to delete any User Content or portion thereof that, in Hire by WorkWave’s sole discretion, violates the above rules, including any User Content that is unrelated to the specific portion of the Site on which it is posted. You acknowledge and agree that Hire by WorkWave does not have any obligation to remove any User Content, and any decision regarding: i) whether any User Content violates any Hire by WorkWave policy, ii) whether to publish or to withdraw from publication any User Content, and iii) whether to exclude any material that any party seeks to post on Hire by WorkWave, will always remain within the sole discretion of Hire by WorkWave.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Hire by WorkWave reserves the right (but is under no obligation) to remove any Job Listing that directly or indirectly discriminates against Job Seekers. Direct discrimination means, for example, that a Job Listing specifically makes clear that only Job Seekers matching a certain criterion are wanted, thereby excluding others because of, for example, their gender, race, age or disability. Indirect discrimination means, for example, that a Job Listing implicitly excludes certain classes of Job Seekers by making it impossible for them to qualify for the job requirements. You understand and agree that it is your responsibility to refrain from posting any Job Listing that directly or indirectly discriminate against Job Seekers or otherwise violate applicable law.

License to User Content

You grant to Hire by WorkWave, its affiliates, and sublicensees a license to use your name, user name, and/or trademarks and logos in connection with (i) any such User Content, (ii) any Hire by WorkWave marketing materials containing or incorporating such User Content, or (iii) any actions by Hire by WorkWave to promote or publicize such User Content (e.g. Job Listings), including without limitation the use of keywords in third-party internet search engines.

You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the User Content that you submit, post, display, or otherwise make available on or through the Site, or that you otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in this section, (ii) such User Content, and its submission, posting, display or availability on or through the Site does not violate applicable law or the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights, intellectual property rights or any other rights of any person or entity, and (iii) such submission, posting, display or availability on or through the Site does not result in any breach of contract between you and any third party. You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, damages, and any other monies owed to any person or entity by reason of such User Content. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Hire by WorkWave and its affiliates from any claims resulting from any such User Content.
