The detailed version

This Member Agreement (“Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions that apply to your use of our services which are described in further detail at our recruitment site (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Service”) which we may operate or host from our servers.

Please read these terms carefully, since your use of any portion of the Service constitutes acceptance of these terms and creates a binding legal agreement. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about the statements contained in this Agreement.

In the event that you disagree with any future changes to this Agreement, please contact us immediately to discuss the impact of these changes to your membership and to determine whether cancellation of your membership would be appropriate to address your concerns. In the alternative, you may, if you disagree with any changes to this Agreement, simply cancel your membership. If we don’t hear from you, we will assume that your silence is your acceptance of any changes. While we will make every effort to advise you of any changes, you are advised to periodically visit our website to review the most current version of the Agreement.
