PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF SERVICE (THE "TERMS OF SERVICE" OR THE "AGREEMENT") CAREFULLY; IT IS A BINDING LEGAL AGREEMENT. BY CHECKING THE "I AGREE" BOX, YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE CAREERPLUG ATS WEBSITE (THE "SITE") OR THE SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE (THE "SERVICE"), WHICH IS A SERVICE OF CAREERPLUG, LLC ("CAREERPLUG"). CAREERPLUG GRANTS YOU PERMISSION TO USE THIS SERVICE UPON YOUR ASSENT TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHER TERMS.
1. Your Relationship with CareerPlug
CareerPlug is offering the Service solely for use by the person or entity in whose name an account is registered through the Site (the "Subscriber" or "you") and not for the use or benefit of any third party. Your use of the CareerPlug ATS Services is subject to the following Terms which form an agreement between you and CareerPlug LLC, whose principal place of business is at 5758 Balcones Drive, Suite 201, Austin, TX 78731. In order to use the Services, you must first agree to the Terms.
2. Fair Usage
CareerPlug provides recruiting software which may only be used for the purposes of recruiting individuals for real jobs in real organizations. You may not use the CareerPlug Services to advertise fake jobs, collect resumes, promote product and services or self- employment opportunities and for any other use, which is not in line with any applicable law, regulation or generally accepted recruiting practices or guidelines. Any fraudulent, abusive or authorized activity may be grounds for termination of Subscriber's right to Service or to access the Site and may be grounds for potential liability against Subscriber.
CareerPlug does not currently place a limit on data storage or bandwidth usage. You should however not seek to store more data than is reasonably needed for normal recruiting practices. CareerPlug retains the right to create limits on bandwidth use and storage with respect to the Service in its sole discretion at any time with or without notice.
CareerPlug believes in a world where hiring is fast, fair, social, open, easy. We expect that you do not use the CareerPlug services against these values. In particular, we do not accept any form of discrimination in the hiring process.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords associated with any account you use to access the Services and the Data. You shall not share your password with any other person or entity; violation of this provision will be a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate cancellation of the Subscriber's account. Subscriber agrees to notify CareerPlug immediately of any actual or suspected loss, theft, or unauthorized use of Subscriber's account or password. Failure to do so shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, which may result in immediate termination of Subscriber's account.
You agree not to attempt to access any of the Services by any means other than through the interface that is provided by CareerPlug as well as to not engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the Services or infringes on CareerPlug’s brand and intellectual property.
3. Support
Initial technical support is only available via email and regularly scheduled webinars. If we are not able to resolve your issue via email/webinar, then we will provide you with phone-based technical support. While CareerPlug will work to respond to all requests within 24 hours, there is no agreement to respond within a certain period of time.
CareerPlug will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Services are available twenty- four hours a day, seven days a week. However, there will be occasions when the Services will be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades and emergency repairs or due to failure of telecommunications links and equipment. Every reasonable step will be taken by CareerPlug to minimize such disruption where it is within CareerPlug's reasonable control.

THE LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION WILL SURVIVE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS RELATING TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO SUBSCRIBER.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to Subscriber. The limitations specified in this Section will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

If you cancel your Service before the end of your current paid up month or year (depending on your plan), your cancellation will take effect immediately and you will not be charged again, nor will you receive a refund for the unused portion of the month or year. CareerPlug, in its sole discretion, may choose to postpone the deletion of Content on a per-Subscriber basis.
