Termination Policy For Users that Infringe on Copyright or Intellectual Property Rights Of Others

Passion Inc., Simplication and all of our affiliated companies respect the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users, account holders and content partners to do the same. The unauthorized reproduction, copying, distribution, modification, public display or public performance of copyrighted works constitutes infringement of the copyright owner's rights. As a condition to your use of this Web Site, you agree not to use the Web Site or any other Passion Inc. Site to infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. We will terminate the accounts of any account holder, and block access to our Web Site and/or the other Passion Inc. Sites for any user, who is a repeat infringer of the copyrights, or other intellectual property rights, of others. We reserve the right to take these actions at any time, in our sole discretion, with or without notice, and without any liability to the account holder who is terminated or to the user whose access is blocked.

Simplication's Liability

Simplication is an application management and job posting system. It does not screen or censor the listings offered. The Company is not involved in the actual transaction between employers and applicants. As a result, the Company has no control over the quality, safety or legality of the jobs posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to applicants or the ability of applicants to fill job openings. In addition, note that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretenses. You assume all risks associated with dealing and coming into contact with users through the Web Site and/or the other Passion Inc. Sites.

Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, the Company cannot and does not confirm that each user is who they claim to be. Because we do not and cannot be involved in user-to-user dealings or control the behavior of participants on any Passion Inc. Site, in the event you have a dispute with one or more users, you release the Company (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential, direct and indirect) 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. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code d1542, which says: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

We are under no legal obligation to, and generally do not, control the information provided by other users which is made available through the Web Site and/or the other Passion Inc. Sites. By its very nature, other people's information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled.

This includes changes to the fee structure for employers posting jobs as well as managing applications online. You agree that Passion Inc. shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the form, content and accuracy of any application or material contained therein placed by you on the Passion Inc. Sites. Employers are solely responsible for their postings on Passion Inc. Sites.

The Company is not to be considered to be an employer with respect to your use of any Passion Inc. Site and the Company shall not be responsible for any employment decisions, for whatever reason, made by any entity posting jobs on any Passion Inc. Site.
