Introduction

Contract

When you use our Services you agree to all of these terms. Your use of our Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which covers how we collect, use, share, and store your personal information.

We require every member to be civil and respectful as they engage on CUEDIn to grow their career connections and exploration. See User Conduct (Section 8) for more information.

You agree that by clicking “Join Now”, “Join CUEDIn”, “Sign Up” or similar, registering, accessing or using our services (described below), you are agreeing to enter into a legally binding contract with CUEDIn (even if you are using our Services on behalf of a company). If you do not agree to this contract (“Contract” or “User Agreement”), do not click “Join Now” (or similar) and do not access or otherwise use any of our Services. If you wish to terminate this contract, at any time you can do so by closing your account and no longer accessing or using our Services.

Services

This Contract applies to CUEDIn, communications, and other services that state that they are offered under this Contract (“Services”), including the offsite collection of data for those Services, such as our ads and the “Apply with CUEDIn” and “Share with CUEDIn” plugins. Registered users of our Services are “Members” and unregistered users are “Visitors”.

CUEDIn Contract

You are entering into this Contract with CUEDIn (also referred to as “we” and “us”).

If you reside outside of the United States of America and have accepted our user agreement, you abide by the governing laws of the United States of America.

This Contract applies to Members and Visitors.

As a Visitor or Member of our Services, the collection, use and sharing of your personal data is subject to this Privacy Policy and updates.

‍

Members and Visitors

When you register and join the CUEDIn network of Services, you become a Member. If you have chosen not to register for our Services, you may access certain features as a “Visitor.”

Changes

We may make changes to the Contract.

We may modify this Contract and our Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to it, we will provide you notice through our Services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. We agree that changes cannot be retroactive. If you object to any changes, you may close your account. Your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these terms means that you are consenting to the updated terms as of their effective date.

‍

Obligations

Service Eligibility

Here are some promises that you make to us in this Contract:

You’re eligible to enter into this Contract either through parent or guardian permission, or you are at least our “Minimum Age” (see below).

If you need parent or guardian permission, we will provide you throughout the onboarding process the ability to enter an email address to grant access from your parent/guardian. There are certain Services you won’t be able to access until your parent/guardian approves through their email.

If you are of “Minimum Age”, to use the Services, you agree that: (1) you will only have one CUEDIn account, which must be in your real name with real data; and (2) you are not already restricted by CUEDIn from using the Services. Creating an account with false information is a violation of our terms, including accounts registered on behalf of others or not providing the correct date of birth (age) within the CUEDIn for hiring employers. These measures could result in termination or restrictions to your account.

“Minimum Age” means a viable working age for employment. This is based upon the employers’ age requirement and position(s). However, if law requires that you must be older in order for CUEDIN to lawfully provide the Services to you without parental consent (including using of your personal data) then the minimum age is 14. If you are under the minimum age, parental consent might be needed to participate in such career activities CUEDIn offers. If you are exploring the platform and watching career videos, parental consent isn’t needed until you apply for or participate within the CUEDIn services.

Your Account

You will keep your password a secret.

You will not share an account with anyone else and will follow our rules and the law.

Members are account holders. You agree to: (1) use a strong password and keep it confidential; (2) not transfer any part of your account (e.g., connections) and (3) follow the law and our list of Dos and Don’ts. You are responsible for anything that happens through your account unless you close it or report misuse.

As between you and others, your account belongs to you. However, if the Services were purchased or sent to you by another party for you to use (e.g. Institution or Employer upgrades services), the party paying for such Service has the right to control access to and get reports on your use and information of such paid Service; however, they do not have rights to your personal account unless for coaching or consulting purposes.

If you choose to leave an affiliated organization within your profile settings (e.g. graduated from an institution), that party is able to contact you for data purposes. You will be notified when such purposes occur.

Notices and Messages

You’re okay with us providing notices and messages to you through our websites, emails, platforms, and other contact information you provide. If your contact information is out of date, you may miss out on important notices.

You agree that we will provide notices and messages to you in the following ways: (1) within the Service, or (2) sent to the contact information you provided us (e.g., email, mobile number, physical address). You agree to keep your contact information up to date within your profile settings.

Sharing

When you share information on our Services, others can see, copy and use that information. You will be able to share information privately, in my network (e.g. institution, employers, etc) or within the CUEDIn network.

Our Services allow messaging and sharing of information in many ways, such as your profile, articles, group posts, links to news articles, and job postings. Information and content that you share or post may be seen by other Members, Visitors. Where we have made settings available, we will honor the choices you make about who can see content or information (e.g., message content to your addressees, sharing content only to CUEDIn Connections. For job searching activities, we default to not notifying your connections network or the public. So, if you apply for a job through our Service or opt to click apply to send your application to the employer, our default is to share it only with the job poster.

We are not obligated to publish any information or content on our Service and can remove it with or without notice.

‍

Rights and Limits

Your License to CUEDIn

You own all of the content, feedback and personal information you provide to us, but you also grant us a non-exclusive license to it.

A worldwide, transferable and sub licensable right to use, copy, modify, distribute, publish and process, information and content that you provide through our Services and the services of others, without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or others. These rights are limited in the following ways:

1. You can end this license for specific content by deleting such content from the Services, or generally by closing your account, except (a) to the extent you shared it with others as part of the Service and they copied, re-shared it or stored it and (b) for the reasonable time it takes to remove from backup and other systems.

2. We will not include your content in advertisements for the products and services of third parties to others without your separate consent (including sponsored content). However, we have the right, without payment to you or others, to serve ads near your content and information, and your social actions.

3. We will get your consent if we want to give others the right to publish your content beyond the Services. However, if you choose to share your post as "public", we will enable a feature that allows other Members to embed that public post onto third-party services, and we enable search engines to make that public content findable through their services.

4. While we may edit and make format changes to your content (such as translating or transcribing it, modifying the size, layout or file type or removing metadata), we will not modify the meaning of your expression.

5. Because you own your content and information and we only have non-exclusive rights to it, you may choose to make it available to others by selecting private in your settings on your profile.

We allow you the rights to connect and engage within any network (e.g institution, employer, organization) of your choice. Once left that network, we allow the entity to further reach out to you. You will be able to change this within your profile settings.

Intellectual Property Rights

We’re providing you notice about our intellectual property rights.

CUEDIn reserves all of its intellectual property rights in the Services. Trademarks and logos used in connection with the Services are the trademarks of their respective owners.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, CUEDIN AND ITS AFFILIATES DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF TITLE, ACCURACY OF DATA, NON-INFRINGEMENT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Exclusion of Liability

These are the limits of legal liability we may have to you.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW (AND UNLESS CUEDIn HAS ENTERED INTO A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT THAT OVERRIDES THIS CONTRACT), CUEDIN, INCLUDING ITS AFFILIATES, WILL NOT BE LIABLE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CONTRACT FOR LOST PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, REPUTATION (E.G. OFFENSIVE OR DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS), LOSS OF DATA (E.G. DOWN TIME OR LOSS, USE OF, OR CHANGES TO, YOUR INFORMATION OR CONTENT) OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

Basic of the Application Process

We ensure that all employers within the CUEDIn network adhere to being an Equal Opportunity Employer and Drug Free Workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to the individual race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, genetic information, status as a military veteran or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

Once an application(s) or a video application(s) has been submitted to an employer within our network, you are liable to the employer's legal hiring protocols.

Basics of Limitations

The limitations of liability in this Section 4 are part of the basis of the bargain between you and CUEDIn and shall apply to all claims of liability (e.g. warranty, tort, negligence, contract and law) even if CUEDIn or its affiliates has been told of the possibility of any such damage, and even if these remedies fail their essential purpose.

These limitations of liability do not apply to liability for death or personal injury or for fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct, or in cases of negligence where a material obligation has been breached, a material obligation being such which forms a prerequisite to our delivery of services and on which you may reasonably rely, but only to the extent that the damages were directly caused by the breach and were foreseeable upon conclusion of this Contract and to the extent that they are typical in the context of this Contract.

Termination

We can each end this Contract, but some rights and obligations survive.

Both you and CUEDIn may terminate this Contract/Agreement at any time with notice to the other. On termination, you lose the right to access or use the Services. The following shall survive termination:

Our rights to use and disclose your feedback;

Members and/or Visitors’ rights to further re-share content and information you shared through the Services;

Any amounts owed by either party prior to termination remain owed after termination.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

In the unlikely event we end up in a legal dispute, you and CUEDIn agree to resolve it in Virginia courts using Virginia law.

This section shall not deprive you of any mandatory consumer protections under the law of the country to which we direct Services to you, where you have your habitual residence.

You and CUEDIn agree that the laws of Virginia, excluding conflict of laws rules, shall exclusively govern any dispute relating to this Contract and/or the Services. You and CUEDIn agree that claims and disputes can be litigated only in Virginia.

For others outside of the United States of America: You and CUEDIn agree that the laws of the State of Virginia, U.S.A., excluding its conflict of laws rules, shall exclusively govern any dispute relating to this Contract and/or the Services. You and CUEDIn both agree that all claims and disputes can be litigated only in the federal or state courts in Harrisonburg City, Virginia, USA, and you and CUEDIn each agree to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

General Terms

Here are some important details about the Contract.

If a court with authority over this Contract finds any part of it unenforceable, we agree that the court should modify the terms to make that part enforceable while still achieving its intent. If the court cannot do that, you and we agree to ask the court to remove that unenforceable part and still enforce the rest of this Contract.

This Contract (including additional terms that may be provided by us when you engage with a feature of the Services) is the only agreement between us regarding the Services and supersedes all prior agreements for the Services.

If we don't act to enforce a breach of this Contract, that does not mean that CUEDIn has waived its right to enforce this Contract. You may not assign or transfer this Contract (or your membership or use of Services) to anyone without our consent. However, you agree that CUEDIn may assign this Contract to its affiliates or a party that buys it without your consent. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Contract.

You agree that the only way to provide us legal notice is addressed in section 10 of this document.
