Other than your Content (as such term is defined below) for which (as between you and Careerleaf) you retain ownership, Careerleaf and its licensors own all right, title and interest, including all worldwide intellectual property rights in the Services, the Careerleaf Materials, and the trademarks, service marks and logos contained therein. You may electronically copy and print to hard copy portions of the Site for the sole purpose of using materials it contains for informational and non-commercial, personal use only.

You will not earn or acquire any rights or licenses in the Services or in any Intellectual Property Rights on account of the TOS or your performance under these TOS.

CONTENT

You (and all other Users of the Services) are responsible for all information, listings, data, text, software, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages or other materials (“Content”) that you or they, respectively, post to the Services, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, and neither Careerleaf nor any of its affiliates or suppliers assumes any responsibility therefor. You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable.

If you are submitting Content on behalf of one or more entities or persons (“third parties”) then you confirm and warrant that you are authorized to act on behalf and bind such entity(s) or person(s) to the TOS.

As between you and Careerleaf, you retain any intellectual property rights in the Content you submit. However, by submitting Content on or through the Services, you grant Careerleaf an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable right license to distribute, transmit, edit, reproduce, modify, perform and display and otherwise use your Content throughout the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, by submitting Content, you authorize Careerleaf to use your trademarks, service marks, trade names, proprietary logos, domain names and any other source or business identifiers in connection with the Services (e.g., the display of your job listings). Additionally, you agree that we may use your name and logo to identify you as a Careerleaf customer on the Services and in Careerleaf marketing, corporate and promotional materials. Your Content may be integrated into Services as improvements, and you hereby consent to same.

Content posted by another User on or through the Services belongs to the person who posts such Content. Except as expressly permitted in the TOS, you do not have the right to use, reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform or publicly display any Content that does not belong to you, other than viewing of the Content on or through the Services as Careerleaf may make available.

If it is determined that you retain moral rights (including rights of attribution or integrity) in any Content, you hereby declare that: (a) you do not require that any personally identifying information be used in connection with the Content, or any derivative works of or upgrades or updates thereto; (b) you have no objection to the publication, use, modification, deletion and exploitation of the Content by Careerleaf or its licensees, successors and assigns; (c) you forever waive and agree not to claim or assert any entitlement to any and all moral rights of an author in any of the Content; and (d) you forever release the Careerleaf, and its licensees, successors and assigns, from any claims that you could otherwise assert against Careerleaf by virtue of any such moral rights.

You understand that posting your Content on or through the Services is entirely voluntary and will expose your Content to public display in a non-confidential manner. You understand that Careerleaf and its suppliers may view your Content and may develop or have developed Content which is identical or similar to yours, may already know of such Content from other sources or may have taken or will take some other action with respect to such Content.

If you believe that any material available on or through the Services violates your copyright, you may send Careerleaf a copyright infringement notice. Any such notice must be in writing and must include substantially all of the following:

a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the right that is allegedly infringed;
identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Careerleaf to locate the material. Careerleaf requests that complete URLs for each instance of the allegedly infringing material be provided;
information reasonably sufficient to permit Careerleaf to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address at which you may be contacted;
a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
a statement that the information in the copyright infringement notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Your written copyright infringement notice must be sent to Careerleaf’s designated copyright agent by email to Careerleaf’s Copyright Agent via our Contact page, or via our Contact page under the heading “Privacy”. Please be aware that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

The Copyright Agent should only be contacted if you believe that your work has been used or copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and such infringement is occurring on or through the Services. The Copyright Agent will not respond to any other inquiries.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The TOS constitutes the entire agreement between you and Careerleaf and governs your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and Careerleaf. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliated or other Careerleaf services, third-party Content or third-party software. You will not assign the TOS or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Careerleaf. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent of Careerleaf will be null and void. Careerleaf may assign the TOS or any rights hereunder without your consent. The TOS and the relationship between you and Careerleaf shall be governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Subject to the paragraph pertaining to dispute resolution (below), you and Careerleaf agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the province of Ontario, Canada. The failure of Careerleaf to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect.

Any dispute regarding the TOS, including the validity, existence, binding effect, interpretation, performance, breach or termination, and including tort claims, shall be referred to and finally determined, to the exclusion of the courts, by a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall take place in Toronto, Ontario, in English, and in accordance with the National Arbitration Rules of the National Arbitration Institute of Canada, Inc. In all other respects the arbitration shall be governed by and subject to the Ontario Arbitration Act.

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU MUST NOTIFY CAREERLEAF IN WRITING WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU SET UP AN ACCOUNT, TO THE MAILING ADDRESS SET FORTH ON OUR CONTACT PAGE, ATTENTION: LEGAL DEPARTMENT. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, MAILING ADDRESS AND EMAIL ADDRESS, AS WELL AS A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US THROUGH ARBITRATION. YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL HAVE NO ADVERSE EFFECT ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CAREERLEAF, OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

Should you have a dispute with one or more Users, or an outside party, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. We encourage Users to report User-to-User disputes to your local law enforcement, postmaster general, or a certified mediation or arbitration entity, as applicable.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all parties to any action arising out of or in connection with the Services or these Terms of Service must be individually named. You hereby waive any right YOU MAY HAVE for any dispute pertaining to the Services or THE TOS to be arbitrated or litigated on a class action or consolidated basis, or on bases involving disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public.

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

The section titles in the TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

The Services may include links or application program interfaces (API) to other sites or resources on the Internet that are owned and operated by online merchants and other third parties. Links to such websites or resources do not imply any endorsement by Careerleaf of such websites or resources or the content, products, or services available from such websites or resources. You acknowledge that the Careerleaf is not responsible for the availability of, or the content located on or through, any such third-party site or resource. You should contact the site administrator or webmaster for those third-party sites if you have any concerns regarding such links or the content located on such sites.
