You agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against us with respect to any such User Generated Content.

2. Personal Information

2.1 Personal information is information that identifies you, including identity and billing information that you may provide to Jobpipe or Jobpipe may collect through your use of the Services ("Personal Information"). Your Personal Information will be collected, processed, stored and used by us, and passed to and processed by us and other data processors acting under our control, in order to provide the Services, to provide customer support and for other purposes described in our privacy policy, detailed here ("Privacy Policy").

2.2 Jobpipe and any third parties acting under our control may use your Personal Information (including demographic data) to personalise the content, advertising and promotions you receive and our communications with you, Jobpipe may do this by finding out which advertisements you react to or the areas of the Services which you visit most frequently, or searches you perform when using the Services, and tailoring your experience accordingly. We may also process Personal Information relating to the transactions you enter into with us or our partners, such as online merchants, through the Services.

2.3 We may also use cookies - small files of data which may be automatically stored on your computer's hard drive when your Web browser accesses certain Web pages. Cookies enable us to provide a better service to you. More information about how we (and third parties) may use cookies and similar technologies (and how to opt out of receiving them) is provided in our Privacy Policy.

2.4 Your Personal Information may be disclosed if we or any entity processing your data on our behalf are compelled to do so by law, or receive a valid, legally compliant request by a law enforcement or governmental authority. If you provide us a third party's billing or payment card information, we may disclose your name and address, and data relating to payments made by that payment method, to such third parties.

2.5 If you provide us with payment or billing information (such as a payment card number), you agree that we and our authorised data processors shall have the right to collect, store and process those details and any related Personal Information for the purpose of providing, maintaining, billing, fulfilment, monitoring usage of and making service improvements to the Services.

2.6 For an unlimited period after your use of the Services ceases we may retain any payment-related information, such as a payment card number, which you supply to us (but only in an anonymised form which does not enable us to identify the holder of that payment method), for fraud prevention purposes.

2.7 Many of the computers and companies that process data on our behalf are based in other countries outside the European Union ("EU") including the USA. We may collect Personal Information (which may include data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, or concerning health or sex life), but we will not use this without your explicit consent. All Personal Information may be transferred to, processed and held both inside and outside the EU. Countries outside the EU may not have as well developed data protection laws in place to protect your information as those inside the EU, but we will ensure your Personal Information is treated in compliance with those laws, this Agreement and our Privacy Policy. Details of companies and countries processing your data will be provided on request.

2.8 We encourage you to tell us what your marketing preferences are for your Personal Information. Unless and until you "opt-out", your name and contact details may be (a) used by us for a reasonable period after your use of Services ceases, and (b) passed to selected third party suppliers of goods and services and advertisers for 6 months after you cease to be a user of Services, for marketing goods and services to you.

3. Uploading CVs

3.1 This Clause 3 relates only to Candidates.

3.2 Provided that you comply with the other terms of this Agreement, what information you choose to share in any User Generated Content is entirely up to you. It is therefore entirely incumbent upon you to exercise caution in what you post and satisfy yourself that it is in your own best interests to share such information. We cannot guarantee who will or will not be able to access it, or what action someone may take as a result of viewing it.

3.3 Your attention is drawn in particular to Clause 13 of this Agreement in terms of what sort of User Generated Content you are not permitted to post.

4. Job Advertisements and Reviewing CVs

4.1 This Clause 4 relates only to Employers.

4.4 The Fees are payable before you may use the Employers' Services.

4.5 If you use or intend to use the Employers' Services regularly, please contact us at enquiries@jobpipe.co.uk to discuss Fees.

14.2 We may automatically check your version of any Software and automatically update it. We are under no obligation to provide you with any support, error corrections, updates, upgrades, bug fixes and/or enhancements of any Software, although we reserve the right to do so.

You warrant that you will use any Software which may provide you with in accordance with this Agreement and that you will not use the Software to violate any law, regulation or right of any third party.

15. Our Liability to You

15.1 The Services are provided without warranties of any kind and your use of Services is at your sole risk.

15.2 Jobpipe will, however, use reasonable skill and care to provide and maintain the availability of Services. Jobpipe and its affiliates expressly exclude any warranty, representation or undertaking that you will be able to access or use the Services at times or locations of your choosing. Jobpipe depends upon third parties over which it may have little or no control for the delivery of the Services (for example, to deliver emails sent to and from internet addresses). Jobpipe is not liable for deletion, corruption or failure to store any email messages or other content. Jobpipe does not warrant that the Services will be free from any virus, worm, Trojan horse or other program or device that is apparently intended to access and modify, delete or damage data files or computer programs.

15.3 Unless you are an Employer, the Services are consumer services and not designed to be used by you in connection with the conduct of your, or your employers' or contractors', commercial activities. If you choose to do so, it is entirely at your own, and your employer's or contractor's, risk.

15.4 Jobpipe shall not be liable for any loss not reasonably foreseeable by Jobpipe when this Agreement is entered into, nor for any loss of data, profit, revenue or business or wasted expenditure, howsoever caused, arising from your use of the Services or for any other claim related in any way to your relationship with Jobpipe. Jobpipe does not endorse, warrant or guarantee any product or service offered by a third party, and will not be a party to, or responsible for monitoring, any transaction between you and such a third party. We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of our obligations under this Agreement caused by matters beyond our reasonable control.

15.5 Without limiting the above paragraph (and except for Jobpipe's liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for which Jobpipe's liability shall be unlimited), the liability of Jobpipe under or in connection with this Agreement or your use of the Services (whether arising in negligence or otherwise) will not under any circumstances exceed £100, regardless of the cause or form of action.

15.6 Your statutory rights are unaffected.

16. Indemnification

16.1
You agree to defend and indemnify harmless Jobpipe against all liabilities, claims and expenses, including reasonable legal fees that arise from any breach of this Agreement or any infringement of third party intellectual property or other rights for which you are responsible. Jobpipe reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you. In that event, you shall have no further obligation to provide indemnification for Jobpipe in that matter.

17. Termination

17.1 Save as otherwise expressly provided in any additional terms governing the use of specific Services (for example Premium Services), we do not charge you for use of Services, and as a consequence, we may cancel or suspend use of Services at any time, without cause and without notice.

17.2 Your right to use the Services and your Account Name may end once your account is terminated and any data you have stored on the Services may no longer be available to you. It is therefore important you maintain your own archive copies of any data that is valuable to you. If you have subscribed to any Premium Services or other products or services for which payment is necessary, you remain responsible for paying any amounts owed on your account at the time your Premium Service and/or account is terminated. If you are participating in any free promotional offer for accessing a Premium Service you must cancel such Premium Service before the end of the free trial period to avoid incurring charges.

17.3 If you cancel your Services Account, any Premium Services linked to your Services Account will also be terminated unless otherwise provided in the terms and conditions relating to the Premium Services in question. If you want to cancel any Premium Services without cancelling your Services Account, you may do so by following the specific cancellation process outlined in the terms and conditions relating to that Premium Service. If you wish to cancel other services provided by third parties, you will be required to do this separately to the appropriate service provider, under the terms and conditions that apply between you and that provider.

18. Changes to this Agreement

18.1 We may change this Agreement from time to time. We will post the updated Agreement on the Services, and it will take effect immediately or on a date which is nominated in the posting or a in a notice we send to you. Your ongoing use of the Services after the changes take effect signifies your agreement to the updated Agreement. You are responsible for regularly reviewing this Agreement and any additional terms posted on the Services. If you disagree with changes that are made to this Agreement, you may simply terminate your Services Account as provided in Clause 17 above.

19. Notices

19.1 You agree that we may send to you in electronic form any notices, disclosures, reports, documents or other communications relating to the Services (collectively, "Notices"). We can send you Notices (1) to the email address that you provided to us during registration for this purpose. Any Notice from us shall be deemed effective the day after it is sent or posted by us.
