Energy Jobs Portal Terms Of Use
Please read this Terms of Use agreement carefully. Please note that once you click 'Complete Purchase,' the cost is non-refundable and you agree that you have read the Energy Jobs Portal Terms of Use agreement below in its entirety and agree to be bound by its terms and conditions.
- Definitions. These Terms of Use (collectively the "Agreement") are between your company or organization ("Customer") and Energy Jobs Portal, a service of Energy NewsData Corporation. Energy Jobs Portal is an Internet-based interactive job posting and search service/career destination portal on EnergyJobsPortal.com (the "Site"). This Agreement contains terms and conditions applicable to the products and services ("Services") provided by Energy Jobs Portal to Customer pursuant to an order (the "Order") submitted by the Customer.
- Services. (a) Job Postings. If set forth in the Order, Energy Jobs Portal will permit Customer to post jobs on EnergyJobsPortal.com in accordance with these Terms of Use. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Order, job postings purchased hereunder
(i) have a scheduled run of ninety (90) days, and
(ii) must be posted during the Term (12 months from last purchase, unless otherwise noted in the Order), after which all job postings purchased hereunder expire.
This Agreement shall apply to all job postings posted hereunder for the duration of their scheduled run. Any:
(1) re-activation of a deleted or expired job posting,
(2) change in the Site where a job has been posted via FTP,
(3) change in the reference code of a job, or
(4) change in location where a job is based (including a change of City/Town), constitutes use of an additional job posting. Acceptable Postings. Energy Jobs Portal reserves the right to reject job postings that are not bona-fide recruitment ads, or for any other reason we consider contrary to the best interest of Energy Jobs Portal. Without limiting Energy Jobs Portal's Agreement, Energy Jobs Portal does not permit any of the following:
- Any posting that does not comply with applicable local, national and international laws, including but not limited to laws relating to labor and employment, equal employment opportunity and employment eligibility requirements (including without limitation the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures), data privacy, data access and use, and intellectual property;
- The use of any screening requirement or criterion in connection with a job posting where such requirement or criterion is not an actual and legal requirement of the posted job;
- The posting of any franchise, pyramid scheme, "club membership", distributorship or sales representative agency arrangement; or
- The posting of any other business opportunity which requires an up front or periodic payment, pays commissions only (except for postings that make clear that the available job pays commission only and clearly describes the product or service that the job seeker would be selling, in which case such postings are permissible), or requires recruitment of other members, sub-distributors or sub-agents.
- Payment. Payment is by secure online means. If payment is made by invoice, all amounts payable by Customer for the Services ("Fees") are due within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Energy Jobs Portal invoice without deduction. Energy Jobs Portal may, at its option, charge Customer interest of 1.5% per month and collection charges on any Fees not paid when due. Customer will be responsible for the payment of any present or future sales, use, excise or other similar tax applicable to the Services.
- Refunds and Cancellations. All purchases of Services on Energy Jobs Portal are final, unless otherwise specified in the Order. Display of Services may be cancelled at any time, although the purchase cost of the Services will not be refunded. No refunds will be made, except for reasons of Site malfunction. In such cases, Energy NewsData reserves the right to compensate with credit for use of Services in lieu of cash or other forms of credit, at the sole discretion of Energy Jobs Portal.
- Term and Termination. The term ("Term") of this Agreement will begin on the date Customer submits the Order (the "Effective Date"), and will end upon the expiration of one year from the Effective Date or the expiration date set forth in the Order, whichever is later. This Agreement may not be terminated by either party, except as specifically stated in this Agreement. If Customer breaches any provision of this Agreement, Energy Jobs Portal may immediately suspend all Customer passwords and access codes until the breach is cured and if applicable, immediately remove any Customer job postings. If Customer's breach is capable of being cured, Customer will have ten (10) days to cure such breach to Energy Jobs Portal's reasonable satisfaction in order to have passwords and access codes restored. If such breach is incapable of being cured or is not cured by Customer within the ten (10) day period, Energy Jobs Portal may: (a) terminate this Agreement and/or (b) pursue all other available remedies to enforce this Agreement and obtain payment of Fees due. If Customer has committed two (2) breaches of the terms of this Agreement which have subsequently been cured, upon any additional breach by Customer, Energy Jobs Portal may immediately, without further notice to Customer and without refund of any Fees paid terminate the Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated for Customer's uncured breach or for Customer's multiple breaches of this Agreement whether cured or uncured, Energy Jobs Portal may collect all fees for Services and collect all of its costs and attorney fees related to the termination. Either party may immediately terminate this Agreement if the other party (i) applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or liquidator of it or its assets, (ii) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) has a petition seeking bankruptcy, reorganization or similar relief filed against it (which, if involuntary, is not stayed or dismissed within ninety (90) days of filing), or (iv) materially breaches this Agreement which breach is not cured within ten (10) days of notice thereof. Energy Jobs Portal may terminate the Agreement upon notice if Customer fails to meet credit requirements established by Energy Jobs Portal from time to time. Customer's breach of this Agreement shall constitute a breach of any other agreement between Energy Jobs Portal and Customer or Customer's affiliates.
- Ownership. Customer shall use all Services provided hereunder solely for its own internal business purposes and shall not resell or transfer to any third party any Services. Subject to the next sentence, the contents of EnergyJobsPortal.com and all elements which are a part of or incorporated in any of the foregoing, and all intellectual and other proprietary rights therein are the property of Energy NewsData Corporation.
