User Content is the sole responsibility of the person or entity that provided the User Content. You shall be solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting, providing or publishing it. B. Prohibited Types of User Content The following list is intended to be illustrative of the types of User Content that are prohibited, but this is not an exhaustive list: You agree not to post or provide User Content that (i) may create a risk of harm to any person or property; (ii) provides instructional information about illegal activities; (iii) involves the transmission of junk or unsolicited mail or other communications, ‘phishing’ or ‘scamming’; (iv) provides links to material that is illegal or offensive, or targets or solicits personal information from anyone under the age of 18; (v) contains any information or content that we deem to be unlawful, harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, harassing, humiliating to other people (publicly or otherwise), libelous, threatening, profane, or otherwise objectionable; (vi) contains any information or content that is illegal (including, without limitation, the disclosure of insider information under securities law or of another party's trade secrets); (vii) contains any information or content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships; (viii) contains any information or content that is false, misleading, or otherwise deceptive; or (ix) violates the Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) or rights of privacy of any third party. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Intellectual Property Rights" means patent rights, copyright rights, mask work rights, moral rights, rights of publicity, trademark, trade dress and service mark rights, goodwill, trade secret rights and other intellectual property rights as may now exist or hereafter come into existence, and all applications therefore and registrations, renewals and extensions thereof, under the laws of any state, country, territory or other jurisdiction. If you are a Client providing or submitting Job Advertisements, you further agree that such content will not contain any personally identifiable information. C. No Warranties or Obligations You agree that ZipRecruiter makes no representations, warranties, promises or guarantees regarding any content provided or generated by third parties, including, without limitation, the content of messages, Job Advertisements and resumés. You further agree that ZipRecruiter acts as a passive conduit for the distribution, provision, and publication of User Content, and has no obligation to screen or verify the accuracy, legality, legitimacy, truthfulness, or completeness of User Content, and accordingly, you accept that ZipRecruiter is not responsible and has no liability for User Content. You understand that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, incomplete, illegal, misleading, false, offensive, constitutes spam, or is otherwise unsuited to your purpose, and you accept that it is your responsibility to verify the quality, accuracy, truthfulness, legality or reliability of User Content, including, without limitation, resumes/CVs and Job Advertisements and content of messages. Your reliance on any User Content is at your own risk. Notwithstanding the foregoing, although ZipRecruiter has no obligation to screen User Content, to the extent that ZipRecruiter becomes or is made aware of User Content that may or does (i) violate the terms of this Agreement or any other Agreement you have with ZipRecruiter, or (ii) violate any law or regulation, or (iii) violate the rights of third parties, or (iv) create liability for ZipRecruiter or otherwise negatively impact ZipRecruiter, ZipRecruiter reserves the right to reject and/or remove such User Content, and suspend and/or terminate any User Account associated with such User Content. D. User Content and the U.S. Communications Decency Act Please note Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act ("CDA") (and the equivalent or similar laws in your jurisdiction) is intended to exclude or limit the liability of online service providers such as ZipRecruiter, when such online service providers provide or make available access to third-party user generated content (see § 230 (c)(1) which states: No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider). The decision by ZipRecruiter to remove or not post or distribute any User Content, does not by itself amount to participation in the creation of such User Content and, accordingly, does not constitute a waiver of the immunity afforded by the CDA. Additionally, § 230 (c)(2) of the CDA specifically provides: "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of (A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable whether or not such material is constitutionally protected…" E. User Interactions and Assumption of Risk You understand and agree that ZipRecruiter does not, and cannot, confirm that each User is who he/she/they claim to be. We are not responsible for authenticating Users and therefore it is your responsibility to conduct the appropriate due diligence before communicating or interacting with other Users, including, without limitation, Job Seekers, employers, staffing agencies, and recruiters. You assume all risks associated with Users with whom you come into contact. If you have any disputes or issues with any User you agree to pursue any remedies directly with the applicable User and you release ZipRecruiter, its subsidiaries, and their respective employees, directors and agents from all claims, demands and damages of every kind (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, to the fullest extent permitted by law. F. Content Disclosure ZipRecruiter reserves the right to disclose User Content and any information related to the provider of such User Content, to third parties in connection with the operation and provision of the Services, to enforce the terms of any agreement that we have with you, to comply with legal obligations and requests from governmental authorities, law enforcement agencies, court orders, subpoenas, etc., and to protect the interests of ZipRecruiter where necessary. For the avoidance of doubt, you agree that we have the right to disclose your identity to a third party who is claiming that any User Content you posted, provided or uploaded is fraudulent, false, or misleading or constitutes a violation of the law, or a violation of their intellectual property or ownership rights, or of their right to privacy. 3. USER CONTENT LICENSE GRANTTOP By posting, submitting, providing and/or otherwise making available any User Content, you expressly grant, and represent that you have a right to grant, to ZipRecruiter, a royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple layers of sublicensees), perpetual, transferable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, sell, reproduce, adapt, translate, sublicense, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works from and otherwise exploit, all such User Content in whole or in part, and in any form, media or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed, for the purposes of posting such User Content on the ZipRecruiter websites, distributing such User Content through the ZipRecruiter distribution and publishing network and in job alerts to job seekers, and to promote ZipRecruiter and the Services. This license continues even if you stop using the Services.

To the extent your User Content is a trademark, trade name, service mark or service name protected by law, the foregoing license also extends to the use by ZipRecruiter to identify you as a User of the Services in any promotional and marketing materials to promote ZipRecruiter and the Services. Further, to the extent you have given ZipRecruiter the right to access certain User Content that is present on another website or service you own or control, you give ZipRecruiter the right to scrape such website as required to retrieve such User Content for use on the Services as contemplated in the license grants above, notwithstanding any prohibition on scraping set forth in the terms of use or other contractual terms governing such website. You represent and warrant that you have the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the rights described in this section to User Content that you submit, provide, make available or post, via the Services, that the use by ZipRecruiter of your User Content will not violate any law or infringe the rights of any third party, and that your User Content and any other information that you provide to us is legal, complete, legitimate, truthful and accurate. 4.

Any third-party code that may be incorporated in the Mobile Software is covered by the applicable open source or third-party license EULA, if any, authorizing use of such code. The foregoing license grant is not a sale of the Mobile Software or any copy thereof, and ZipRecruiter or its third-party partners or suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in the Mobile Software (and any copy thereof). Any attempt by you to transfer any of the rights, duties or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, is void.

Once you submit a Job Application, your resume and other applicable information will be shared with the entity that posted the Job Advertisement as long as any parameters selected by that entity are met, where applicable.

If you have manually logged out of your account or if you have been automatically logged out of your account because of inaction or some other reason, we will ask you to input your email so we can verify your identity before we send the resume associated with your account. Once you receive the verification email and confirm your identity by following the instructions in the email, we will send out the resume associated with your account. IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to ensure that the resume associated with your account is always updated, current and accurate before you apply to a Job Advertisement or opt-in to the Resume Database, so an employer receives the most up-to-date information about you.

The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and ZipRecruiter may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties. Additional Requirements Applicable to Users in Canada: Disputes shall be referred to ADR Institute of Canada ("ADRIC"), including the ADRIC’s Arbitration Rules, available at: http://adric.ca/, or such other alternative dispute resolution body and arbitration rules that may be mutually agreed upon by you and ZipRecruiter.

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties. B. Restrictions You and ZipRecruiter agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between ZipRecruiter and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

No Warranties or Obligations ZipRecruiter makes no representations, warranties, promises or guarantees regarding any content provided or generated by third parties, including, without limitation, the content of messages, Job Advertisements and resumés. You agree that ZipRecruiter acts as a passive conduit for the distribution, provision, and publication of User Content, and has no obligation to screen or verify the accuracy, legality, legitimacy, reliability, truthfulness, or completeness of User Content, and accordingly, you accept that ZipRecruiter is not responsible and has no liability, for User Content. You understand that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, incomplete, illegal, misleading, false, offensive, constitutes spam, or is otherwise unsuited to your purpose, and you accept that it is your responsibility to verify the quality, accuracy, truthfulness, legality or reliability of User Content, including, without limitation, resumes/CVs and Job Advertisements and content of messages. Your reliance on any User Content is at your own risk. Notwithstanding the foregoing, although ZipRecruiter has no obligation to screen User Content, to the extent that ZipRecruiter becomes or is made aware of, User Content that may or does (i) violate the terms of this Agreement or any other Agreement you have with ZipRecruiter, or (ii) violate any law or regulation, or (iii) violate the rights of third parties, or (iv) create liability for ZipRecruiter or otherwise negatively impact ZipRecruiter, ZipRecruiter reserves the right to reject and/or remove such User Content, and suspend and/or terminate any User Account associated with such User Content. D. User Content and ZipRecruiter as an Online Service Provider ZipRecruiter operates as an online service provider and provides or makes available access to third-party user generated content. The decision by ZipRecruiter to remove or not post or distribute any User Content, does not by itself amount to participation in the creation of such User Content. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ZipRecruiter shall not be held liable on account of any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable. E. User Interactions and Assumption of Risk You acknowledge and agree that ZipRecruiter does not, and cannot, confirm that each User is who he/she/they claim to be. We are not responsible for authenticating Users and therefore it is your responsibility to conduct the appropriate due diligence before communicating or interacting with other Users, including, without limitation, Job Seekers, employers, staffing agencies, and recruiters. You assume all risks associated with Users with whom you come into contact. If you have any disputes or issues with any User you agree to pursue any remedies directly with the applicable User and you release ZipRecruiter, its subsidiaries, and their respective employees, directors and agents from all claims, demands and damages of every kind (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, to the fullest extent permitted by law. F. Content Disclosure ZipRecruiter reserves the right to disclose User Content and any information related to the provider of such User Content, to third parties in connection with the operation and provision of the Services, to enforce the terms of any agreement that we have with you, to comply with legal obligations and requests from governmental authorities, law enforcement agencies, court orders, subpoenas, etc., and to protect the interests of ZipRecruiter where necessary.

AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE TOP This Agreement contains an Arbitration provision, which will, with limited exception, require you to submit disputes you have against ZipRecruiter to binding and final arbitration to the extent that the laws of the jurisdiction where you reside permit the inclusion of Arbitration provision in these Terms of Use. You will only be permitted to pursue claims against ZipRecruiter on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding, and you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis. If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in a jurisdiction in which this Section 14 is enforceable, the following mandatory arbitration provisions apply to you: A. Binding Arbitration This Section 14 is referred to in this Agreement as the "Agreement to Arbitrate". Unless you opt-out pursuant to the opt-out procedures set forth below, you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and ZipRecruiter or its affiliates, whether relating to the Services, this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), or otherwise (each a "Dispute"), shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, each available at www.adr.org, or such other alternative dispute resolution body and arbitration rules that may be mutually agreed upon by you and ZipRecruiter. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by such rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and ZipRecruiter may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties. B. Restrictions You and ZipRecruiter agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between ZipRecruiter and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. C. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration You and ZipRecruiter agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or ZipRecruiter intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief. D. 30 Day Right to Opt Out of Arbitration You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 14 by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to businessaffairs@ziprecruiter.com or to the U.S. mailing address listed at the bottom of this Agreement. The notice must be sent to ZipRecruiter within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Services or agreeing to these terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them. E. European Union Online Dispute Resolution If you are an individual located in the EU, you may also choose to bring your dispute to the online dispute resolution portal of the European Commission, available here: http://ec.europa.eu/odr. 15. EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES AND EMPLOYMENT BUSINESS REGULATIONS 2003 (ONLY FOR USERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM) TOP For the purposes of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003 (the, "Regulations"), job seekers and recruiters should be aware that ZipRecruiter is not an employment business and operates as a venue only, and accordingly, does not introduce or supply work-seekers to recruiters (or vice versa). Accordingly, ZipRecruiter does not, without limitation: (i) acquire sufficient information for potential recruiters to select a suitable work-seeker for the position which the recruiter seeks to fill; (ii) acquire confirmation of the identity of a work-seeker or that the individual has the experience, training, qualifications or authorization to work in the position to be filled or that they wish to undertake the role to be filled; (iii) verify that the work-seeker and recruiter are each aware of any requirement imposed by law or otherwise which must be satisfied by either of them to permit the work-seeker to fulfill the position to be filled; (iv) give any indication to recruiters whether work-seekers are unsuitable (or suitable) for any position to be filled in any circumstances; (v) propose work-seekers to recruiters or provide any information about them other than in the course of providing a search function to recruiters to make key word searches of the CV database; (vi) take up any references in relation to a work-seeker; or (vii) make any arrangements for accommodation of work-seekers. Since ZipRecruiter is only a venue and does not propose or introduce work-seekers to recruiters or vice versa, if you are a work-seeker you undertake the steps set out in the Regulations to ensure your suitability for the role advertised or, if you are a recruiter, to ensure a work-seeker’s suitability for the role. These checks could include: (A) if you are a work-seeker; checking the identity of the recruiter and the nature of its business, the commencement date and duration of the position, the position to be filled including type of work, location, hours and risks to health and safety, experience, training, qualifications and authorization which the recruiter considers necessary or are required by law or otherwise to undertake the position, whether any expenses are payable by you as a work-seeker or whether there are any requirements imposed by law or otherwise for you to satisfy before taking up a position; and (B) if you are a recruiter; checking the identity of the work-seeker and that the work-seeker has the experience, training, qualifications and authorization required by law or otherwise for the position and whether there are any requirements imposed by law or otherwise for you, as the recruiter, to meet to enable a work-seeker to take up a position and additionally, where professional qualifications are required or where work-seekers are to work with vulnerable persons or children, you should obtain copies of the relevant qualifications, background checks and references. Any searching or screening tools provided by us for use in your assessment of the suitability or otherwise of any particular candidate or advertised vacancy are to assist you in taking these steps, but are not intended as a substitute for your own verifications of the candidate’s qualifications, work history and otherwise suitability for the position. 16. GENERAL TOP A. Governing Law and Location The Services are controlled and operated by ZipRecruiter from within the United States of America. ZipRecruiter makes no representations that the Services or the materials available via the Services, are appropriate or available for use in locations outside of the European Union, United Kingdom, or Switzerland. Those who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all United States of America, European Union, United Kingdom, or Switzerland laws as well as local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of a member state of the European Union, United Kingdom, or Switzerland or any other jurisdiction, this Agreement and any Disputes shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. An arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same User to the extent required by applicable law. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all arbitration and other litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction of any dispute between you and ZipRecruiter related to this Agreement shall be located in Los Angeles County, California. You may not use the Services if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. If you are a Job Seeker, acting as a consumer and resident in the European Union: you agree that this Agreement shall be governed by the law of your country of residence without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

Relationship of the Parties Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as making either party the partner, joint venturer, employer, contractor or employee of the other. Neither party shall have or hold itself out to any third party as having any authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, that shall be binding on the other, except as provided for herein or authorized in writing by the party to be bound. Except as set out in this Agreement, only you and ZipRecruiter may enforce this Agreement as this contract is between you and ZipRecruiter; no other party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement.
