You may not include, in any User Content submitted to Job4youth Networking, information that may be interpreted as a direct solicitation, advertisement or recruitment for an available job position directed to individuals seeking employment on either a full time or part time basis. In order to protect our Job4youth Community Users from commercial advertising or solicitation, Job4youth reserves the right to restrict the number of e-mails or other messages which a User may send to other Users to a number which Job4youth deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

We appreciate hearing from our Users and welcome Your comments regarding our services and the Job4youth Sites. Please be advised, however, that our policy does not permit us to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions, inventions, or materials other than those which we have specifically requested. While we do value Your feedback on our services, please be specific in Your comments regarding our services and do not submit creative ideas, inventions, suggestions, or materials.

5.Job4youth’s Liability

The Job4youth Sites act as, among other things, venues for (i) employers to post job opportunities and search for and evaluate job candidates and (ii) candidates to post resumes and Profiles and search for and evaluate job opportunities. Job4youth does not screen or censor the listings, including Profiles offered. Job4youth is not involved in, and does not control, the actual transaction between employers and candidates. As a result, Job4youth is not responsible for User Content, the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or resumes posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates or the ability of candidates to fill job openings and Job4youth makes no representations about any jobs, resumes or User Content on the Job4youth Sites. While Job4youth reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove User Content, job postings, resumes or other material from the Job4youth Sites from time to time, Job4youth does not assume any obligation to do so and to the extent permitted by law, disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.

Job4youth Networking provides a venue for individuals to network for professional and personal purposes and Job4youth does not screen or censor the Profiles or User Content on the Job4youth Sites. Job4youth is not involved in the actual communications between Users. As a result, Job4youth has no control over the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the Profiles or User Content submitted on the Job4youth Sites and makes no representations about any Profile or User Content on the Job4youth Sites.

Note that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, underage persons or people acting under false pretenses. You assume all risks associated with dealing with other users with whom You come in contact through the Job4youth 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. We expect that You will use caution and common sense when using the Job4youth Sites.

Because User authentication on the Internet is difficult, Job4youth 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 Job4youth Site, in the event that You have a dispute with one or more Users, You release Job4youth (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential and 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 to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The Job4youth Sites and the Job4youth Content may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. Job4youth makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of any Job4youth Site or the Job4youth Content. The use of all Job4youth Sites and the Job4youth Content is at Your own risk. Changes are periodically made to Job4youth Sites and may be made at any time. Job4youth cannot guarantee and does not promise any specific results from use of any Job4youth Site. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by a User from Job4youth or through or from any Job4youth Site shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.
If notified of any content or other materials which allegedly do not conform to these Terms, we may in its sole discretion investigate the allegation and determine whether to remove or request the removal of the content. We have no liability or responsibility to Users for performance or nonperformance of such activities.

6.Term and Termination

Job4youth reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to pursue all of its legal remedies, including but not limited to removal of Your User Content from the Job4youth Sites and immediate termination of Your registration with or ability to access the Job4youth Sites and/or any other services provided to You by Job4youth, upon any breach by You of these Terms or if Job4youth is unable to verify or authenticate any information You submit to a Job4youth Site registration.
