Overview

Welcome to the CareerClub Terms of Use (“Terms”) page. Yes, there is a good dose of legalese here. While we don’t love it either, we provide these Terms to protect both you and us and to let you know that we take this responsibility seriously.

But to start, here are a few quick notes on what CareerClub is and how we interact with our members. At the core of them all, it’s important to understand that CareerClub is a membership service provider. By joining CareerClub as a member, you have access to a wide variety of premium online resources to help you find and be prepared for various job opportunities. These include, but aren’t limited to:

• Development opportunities including interview coaching, Q&As and professional resume writing services from our certified and experienced staff.
• Additional support for our members includes top-notch customer service support by email.
• The CareerClub team screens a high volume of jobs daily, based on continuously updated criteria provided by our current members for both quality and match.
• Only jobs that align with the direction provided by our members and/or meet CareerClub requirements for quality and fit are curated and added to the platform.

Below is a quick glance at some of the more important guidelines that apply to your use of the CareerClub Site:

All Users

• Whether you are a Job Seeker, Employer, or just passing through, we expect you to abide by a high standard of professional and acceptable behaviour. You must also comply with applicable law, including local, state, and federal employment and discrimination laws.

Job Seekers

• Job Seekers agree to use all resources on the CareerClub Site solely for personal, individual noncommercial use and agree not to share, sell, distribute or disclose to any third party or on any other website any CareerClub content, which includes job listings.

Employers

• Employers interested in and requesting Membership to use the CareerClub service will be invited to do so at the sole discretion of CareerClub.
• Employers must be legitimate, have a well-established and positive reputation, registered as a sole trader, partnership or limited liability company within the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. An Employer that does not satisfy our guidelines, particularly if there is questionable or scam-related behaviour, will not be (or continue to be) approved for Membership.
• Employer accounts can only be created by the appropriate HR Manager/Executive/Recruiter from within and approved by the Employer organisation. Independent Representatives are not permitted to post jobs on behalf of an Employers organisation unless given permission by the relevant authorities at their organisation.
• If Membership is approved, when posting jobs or contacting candidates, Employers must be hiring for current employment opportunities that are within the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
• Employers are explicitly prohibited from soliciting potentially invasive personal or financial information from candidates in the database as part of the job application/advertisement process, such as social security, credit card, or bank account numbers.
• Business opportunities, including any job requiring an investment or payment to get started, are not permitted on CareerClub.

CareerClub also offers services which allow members to find qualified professionals to provide career/interview services and resume writing services intended to assist the client in their job search. Thus, it is understood that the company makes no guarantees regarding the successful interview walkthrough by the client as a result. The purpose of this agreement is to provide clients with services in accordance with the instructions of the client. All that the company provides, is intended only for the purpose of the career of the client in accordance with their instructions. The company is also not responsible for failure on the part of the client to successfully obtain a desired job, with the help of the service, or improper use of the service.

LinkedIn® profile writing service means that the client will receive a fully developed profile information in a .doc/.docx format. Our Resume Writers are not authorized to access the Clients’ LinkedIn® accounts. It is an obligation of the Clients to transfer the provided information to their accounts.

CareerClub reserves the right to discontinue any accounts that violate (either overtly or even just the intentions of) our policies or terms of use, misuse our service in any way, and/or are not in keeping with the mission of our service — solely at our discretion.

Policy Regarding Termination Of Users Who Infringe The Copyright Or Other Intellectual Property Rights Of Others

CareerClub and all of its affiliated companies respect the intellectual property of others, and we ask our Users and content partners to do the same. The unauthorized posting, 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 CareerClub, you agree not to use CareerClub to infringe the intellectual property rights of others in any way. We will terminate the accounts of any CareerClub Users, and block access to CareerClub of any Users who infringe the copyright, 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 you.

CareerClubs’ Liability

Job Postings: Employers submit job postings to CareerClub for consideration in its job database, and CareerClubs’ team researches job listings for consideration to be added to its job database. In either case, every job will be reviewed to ensure it meets the quality and relevancy criteria. CareerClub reserves the right to reject job postings at our sole discretion. Additionally, CareerClub is used by candidates to post Resume Profiles (and related application materials) and to apply for jobs. CareerClub is not to be considered an Employer, a headhunter, a staffing agency, or in any similar capacity with respect to the use of our Site or the services we provide. Accordingly, CareerClub shall not be responsible for any employment decisions, for whatever reason made by any entity posting jobs on our Site. While we take extensive efforts to screen and censor the listings offered in the interest of preventing scams, abuse, and/or illegal activity, we are not responsible for the actual interactions or negotiations between potential Employers and candidates, nor for confirming or controlling the quality, accuracy, or legality of information provided by Users (which include candidates and Employers) on the Website.

CareerClub may take any action with respect to User Content that it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion if it believes that such Content could create liability for CareerClub, damage CareerClubs’ brand or public image, or cause CareerClub to lose (in whole or in part) the services of its ISPs or other suppliers. While CareerClub reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove User Content, job postings, resumes, or other material from CareerClub from time to time, CareerClub does not assume any obligation to do so and disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.

Because User authentication on the Internet is difficult, CareerClub 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 behaviour of participants on CareerClub, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more Users, you release CareerClub (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 your interactions with other Users and any such disputes that may result from those interactions.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favour at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

CareerClub may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. CareerClub makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of any CareerClub content. The use of all CareerClub content is at your own risk. Changes are periodically made to CareerClub and may be made at any time. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the form, content, and accuracy of any resume or material contained therein placed by you on CareerClub. Employers are solely responsible for their postings on CareerClub. CareerClub is not to be considered an Employer with respect to your use of CareerClub and CareerClub shall not be responsible for any employment decisions, for whatever reason, made by any entity posting jobs on any CareerClub Site.

CareerClub cannot guarantee and does not promise any specific results from the use of CareerClub. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by a User from CareerClub shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.
