3. USER CONTENT AND USERS
The Services may allow Users to post and/or provide content that may be viewable by other Users, including, but not limited to, Job Advertisements, company information, a job seeker’s application information, content of messages, resumes/CVs, logos, trademarks, comments, questions, and other content or information ("User Content"). User Content is the sole responsibility of the person or entity that provided the User Content. You shall be solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting, providing or publishing it.
The following list is intended to be illustrative of the types of User Content that is prohibited, but is not an exhaustive list: You agree not to post or provide User Content that (i) may create a risk of harm to any person or property; (ii) provides instructional information about illegal activities; (iii) involves the transmission of junk or unsolicited mail or other communications, ‘phishing’ or ‘scamming’; (iv) provides links to material that is illegal or offensive, or targets or solicits personal information from, anyone under the age of 18; (v) contains any information or content that we deem to be unlawful, harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, harassing, humiliating to other people (publicly or otherwise), libelous, threatening, profane, or otherwise objectionable; (vi) contains any information or content that is illegal (including, without limitation, the disclosure of insider information under securities law or of another party's trade secrets); (vii) contains any information or content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships; (viii) contains any information or content that is false or misleading; or (ix) violates the Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) or rights of privacy of any third party. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Intellectual Property Rights" means patent rights, copyright rights, mask work rights, moral rights, rights of publicity, trademark, trade dress and service mark rights, goodwill, trade secret rights and other intellectual property rights as may now exist or hereafter come into existence, and all applications therefore and registrations, renewals and extensions thereof, under the laws of any state, country, territory or other jurisdiction. If you are a Client providing or submitting Job Advertisements, you further agree that such content will not contain any personally identifiable information.
You agree that Bodha makes no representations, warranties, promises or guarantees regarding any content provided or generated by third parties, including, without limitation, the content of messages, Job Advertisements and resumés. You further agree that Bodha acts as a passive conduit for the distribution, provision, and publication of User Content, and has no obligation to screen or verify the accuracy, legality, legitimacy, truthfulness, or completeness of User Content, and accordingly, you accept that Bodha is not responsible and has no liability, for User Content. You understand that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, incomplete, illegal, misleading, false, offensive, constitutes spam, or is otherwise unsuited to your purpose, and you accept that it is your responsibility to verify the quality, accuracy, truthfulness, legality or reliability of User Content, including, without limitation, resumes/CVs and Job Advertisements and content of messages. Your reliance on any User Content is at your own risk.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, although Bodha has no obligation to screen User Content, to the extent that Bodha becomes or is made aware of, User Content that may or does (i) violate the terms of this Agreement or any other Agreement you have with Bodha, or (ii) violate any law or regulation, or (iii) violate the rights of third parties, or (iv) create liability for Bodha or otherwise negatively impact Bodha, Bodha reserves the right to reject and/or remove such User Content, and suspend and/or terminate any User Account associated with such User Content.
Please note Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act ( "CDA") (and the equivalent or similar laws in your jurisdiction), which are intended to exclude or limit the liability of online service providers such as Bodha, which provide or make available access to third-party user generated content (see § 230 (c)(1) which states: No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider).
The decision by Bodha to remove or not post or distribute any User Content, does not by itself amount to participation in the creation of such User Content and accordingly, does not constitute a waiver of the immunity afforded by the CDA. Additionally, § 230 (c)(2) of the CDA specifically provides: "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of (A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable whether or not such material is constitutionally protected….."
You understand and agree that Bodha does not, and cannot, confirm that each User is who he/she/they claim to be. We are not responsible for authenticating Users and therefore it is your responsibility to conduct the appropriate due diligence before communicating or interacting with other Users, including, without limitation, Job Seekers, employers, staffing agencies, and recruiters. You assume all risks associated with Users with whom you come into contact. If you have any disputes or issues with any User you agree to pursue any remedies directly with the applicable User and you release Bodha, its subsidiaries, and their respective employees, directors and agents from all claims, demands and damages of every kind (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Bodha reserves the right to disclose User Content and any information related to the provider of such User Content, to third parties in connection with the operation and provision of the Services, to enforce the terms of any agreement that we have with you, to comply with legal obligations and requests from governmental authorities, law enforcement agencies, court orders, subpoenas, etc., and to protect the interests of Bodha where necessary. For the avoidance of doubt, you agree that we have the right to disclose your identity to a third party who is claiming that any User Content you posted, provided or uploaded is fraudulent, false, or misleading or constitutes a violation of the law, or a violation of their intellectual property or ownership rights, or of their right to privacy.
4. USER CONTENT LICENSE GRANT
By posting, submitting, providing and/or otherwise making available any User Content, you expressly grant, and represent that you have a right to grant, to Bodha, a royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple layers of sublicensees), perpetual, transferable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, sell, reproduce, adapt, translate, sublicense, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works from and otherwise exploit, all such User Content in whole or in part, and in any form, media or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed, for the purposes of posting such User Content on the Bodha websites, distributing such User Content through the Bodha distribution and publishing network and in job alerts to job seekers, and to promote Bodha and the Services. This license continues even if you stop using the Services.
If you are a Client, you acknowledge and agree that Bodha has no obligation, and may be unable, to remove your Job Advertisements and other content (including any logos and/or trademarks contained therein) once they have been (i) distributed via the Bodha distribution and publisher network, (ii) listed in search engine results, or (iii) distributed on websites and in job alert emails or job alert texts, or (iv) incorporated into fixed media displays of Bodha or any third party, and in each case (i) to (iv) above, the license grant from you above will be perpetual and irrevocable for such uses. To the extent your User Content is a trademark, trade name, service mark or service name protected by law, the foregoing license also extends to the use by Bodha to identify you as a User of the Services in any promotional and marketing materials to promote Bodha and the Services. Further, to the extent you have given Bodha the right to access certain User Content that is present on another website or service you own or control, you give Bodha the right to scrape such website as required to retrieve such User Content for use on the Services as contemplated in the license grants above.
You represent and warrant that you have the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the rights described in this section to User Content that you submit, provide, make available or post, via the Services, that the use by Bodha of your User Content will not violate any law or infringe the rights of any third party, and that your User Content and any other information that you provide to us is legal, complete, legitimate, truthful and accurate.
5. OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

For purposes of this Agreement, references to "resume" or "CV" shall also mean a curriculum vitae, profile, references, recommendations, and other similar written overviews or assessments of a person's experience and qualifications.
You agree that if you have a Bodha account or if you have provided your resume/CV to Bodha and/or if you have signed up for job alerts, we may use the information you provide to send you information about Job Advertisements that may be of interest to you and you also agree that we may provide your resume/CV (to the extent that you have not designated it as private), to an employer or recruiter who may be interested in candidates who have shown an interest in roles similar to the type that you have searched for or applied to.
To the extent that you wish us to share your information and resume/CV with potential employers, recruiters, or staffing agencies (including, where you have submitted your resume/CV to the Resume Database or because you have applied to a Job Advertisement on a Bodha website), you consent to our sharing your resume/CV, together with any additional information you provide to us during the application process.

A.Job Applications in General
You can choose how to submit your Job Application using the options offered through the Services. If you elect to apply through a third-party account such as Facebook or LinkedIn.com, you will be asked to log-in to the applicable account, and the profile, resume and other information that you have provided as part of any of those accounts will then be provided to the entity that posted the applicable Job Advertisement. You can also submit a Job Application through your mobile device.
Once you submit a Job Application, your resume and other applicable information will be shared with the entity that posted the Job Advertisement. You should therefore ensure that the information you provide is complete and accurate, and only contains information that you are comfortable sharing.
If you ask Bodha to submit a message to any employer or third party or if you apply for a job using the Services, you accept that Bodha does not guarantee that the recipient entity will receive, access, view, or respond to your requests or Job Applications, or that the transmission of data will be error-free. Any screener questions provided by the entity posting a Job Advertisement are entirely in the control of that entity and if you require alternate screener questions or application process, you must contact the applicable entity directly.
B. Applying to Job Advertisements on a Bodha Website
When you apply to a Job Advertisement on a Bodha website, we will send the resume associated with your account (to the extent an account was created as described in Section 8.C. below).
If you have manually logged out of your account or if you have been automatically logged out of your account because of inaction or some other reason, before we send the resume associated with your account, we will ask you to input your email so we can verify your identity. Once you receive the verification email and confirm your identity by following the instructions in the email, we will send out the resume associated with your account.
IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to ensure that the resume associated with your account is always updated, current and accurate before you apply to a Job Advertisement so an employer receives the most up-to-date information about you. If you have opted in to the Resume Database, make sure that employers see the most up-to-date information about you. In order to delete old resumes, edit your resume, or upload a new resume, please go to the Profile settings in your User account.
C. Account Creation.
In addition to your ability to manually create a Bodha account yourself, a Bodha account will automatically be created for you in the following circumstances if you don’t already have an account:
When an account is automatically created for you, you will receive an email with your user name (which is usually your email address) and a link to reset your password. Whether or not you choose to reset your password, the account will exist under your email address and the resume associated with the action you took (e.g., applying for a job, signing-up for job alerts, etc.), will be connected with that account. So, before applying to a Job Advertisement, please ensure that your resume is up-to-date so that employers receive the most recent information about you.
If you do not wish to have a Bodha account, please contact info@bodha.ai or go to your account settings and close your account.
D. Job Alerts
You can manually sign up to receive job alerts by email/or SMS. In addition to a manual sign up, if you apply to Job Advertisements on a Bodha website and/or create an account, you also consent to receiving email job alerts based on the type of role you selected. You can sign up for job alerts via SMS in a number of ways including by entering your telephone number in the Mobile Alerts section of your User Account. You can edit or change the type of job alerts want to receive by accessing the Job Alerts tab in your User account. You may opt out of job alerts by clicking on the unsubscribe link in your job alert email or by following the instructions in your SMS alert. You can also contact our Customer Service team at info@bodha.ai , if you need assistance
E. Resume Database
Bodha has a feature which permits job seekers to include their resume/CV and other applicable information in a resume database (the, "Resume Database") to be stored on the service and potentially to be accessed by employers.
You may elect to make your resume/CV private and not add it to the Resume Database. If you make your resume/CV ‘public,’ it will be (i) added it to the Resume Database, (ii) available to be viewed or downloaded by any persons or entities that have access rights to the Resume Database, and (iii) visible in whole or in part via search engine results.
If you have added your resume/CV to the Resume Database, you consent to Bodha matching words, skills, or certifications that are present or implied in your resume or other application materials to words, skills, or certifications present or implied in a Job Advertisement or an employer’s or recruiter’s search of terms, and if there are any matches, to present matching resumes/CVs to the applicable employer or recruiter and to send information to you about Job Advertisements that may be of interest to you.
If you submit a resume/CV, you acknowledge that we may 'parse' the resume and other applicable information into another format to create a profile view and/or enable searchable text for a Company; the Company will also be able to see your resume in the form in which you originally submitted it to Bodha.
You can opt-out of including your resume/CV in the Resume Database and public visibility at any time by adjusting the settings in your account and we will remove your resume/CV from the Resume Database and disable visibility to search engines as soon as reasonably practicable. However, if an entity has already accessed your resume/CV through the Resume Database or search engines and copied or saved your resume, that entity will continue to have access to your resume/CV and all information you included in your resume/CV.
F. Interactions with Other Users; Scams; Confidentiality
You are solely responsible for your interactions with Users whom you contact or who contact you. Note: there are risks, including, but not limited to, the risk of physical harm, that may arise when dealing with strangers, including persons who may be acting under false pretenses. You should therefore use caution with regard to the information you elect to share as part of your User Profile or Job Application or resume/CV that. Only list the contact information that you are comfortable disclosing to Clients and other Users of the Services.
In addition to carefully reviewing this section and Section 3 above, you should conduct your own due diligence on potential employers and Job Advertisements that may be of interest to you. As mentioned in Section 3, Bodha does not authenticate Users or guarantee that a Job Advertisement is suitable, legitimate or real. If you are concerned about any particular communication you have received from a potential employer (either because it’s unsolicited or you received the communication in response to your Job Application), or if you are concerned about any particular Job Advertisement you find on Bodha, or if you find a Job Advertisement that is fake or fraudulent, you should do the following:
Remember, if the job or the job offer sounds too good to be true, you need to be extra vigilant and conduct your own checks before responding to any communication or taking any action.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of red flags that should alert you to check whether a communication is legitimate and/or whether any particular Job Advertisement is fake or fraudulent ("Scam"). But, this list doesn’t cover every scenario; it’s merely intended to highlight some of the more common Scams. For more information, you should visit the websites listed above. Be on the alert:
Additionally, although Bodha requests that companies maintain the confidentiality of the Job Applications and resumes/CVs they receive through the Services, Bodha cannot and does not guarantee that the information you provide will be held in confidence or properly secured by the applicable recipient.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Bodha reserves the right to limit the amount of information (including resume views and downloads), that may be accessed in any time period to mitigate any overload to the Services or in response to any abuse of the Services. The Resume Database shall not be used in any manner that adversely affects Bodha business, imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on Bodha infrastructure, or interferes with the ability of others to access the Resume Database. Bodha reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the Resume Database or terminate the Agreement in the event of any non-compliance with the Agreement or any other agreement you have with Bodha.

15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
16. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE
This Agreement contains an Arbitration provision, which will, with limited exception, require you to submit disputes you have against Bodha to binding and final arbitration. You will only be permitted to pursue claims against Bodha on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding, and you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis.
If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in a jurisdiction in which this Section 17. is enforceable, the following mandatory arbitration provisions apply to you:
A. Binding Arbitration
This Section 17 is referred to in this Agreement as the "Agreement to Arbitrate" . Unless you opt-out pursuant to the opt-out procedures set forth below, you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Bodha or its affiliates, whether relating to the Services, this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), or otherwise (each a "Dispute"), shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ( "AAA"), including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, each available at www.adr.org, or such other alternative dispute resolution body and arbitration rules that may be mutually agreed upon by you and Bodha. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by such rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Bodha may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
B. Restrictions
You and Bodha agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between Bodha and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
C. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
You and Bodha agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Bodha intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.
D. 30 Day Right to Opt Out of Arbitration
You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 17 by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to info@bodha.ai or to the U.S. mailing address listed at the bottom of this Agreement. The notice must be sent to Bodha within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Services or agreeing to these terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections.

18. EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES AND EMPLOYMENT BUSINESS REGULATIONS 2003 (FOR USERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM)
For the purposes of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003 (the, "Regulations"), job seekers and recruiters should be aware that Bodha is not an employment business and operates as a venue only, and accordingly, does not introduce or supply work-seekers to recruiters (or vice versa). Accordingly, Bodha does not, without limitation: (i) acquire sufficient information for potential recruiters to select a suitable work-seeker for the position which the recruiter seeks to fill; (ii) acquire confirmation of the identity of a work-seeker or that the individual has the experience, training, qualifications or authorization to work in the position to be filled or that they wish to undertake the role to be filled; (iii) verify that the work-seeker and recruiter are each aware of any requirement imposed by law or otherwise which must be satisfied by either of them to permit the work-seeker to fulfil the position to be filled; (iv) give any indication to recruiters whether work-seekers are unsuitable (or suitable) for any position to be filled in any circumstances; (v) propose work-seekers to recruiters or provide any information about them other than in the course of providing a search function to recruiters to make key word searches of the CV database; (vi) take up any references in relation to a work-seeker; or (vii) make any arrangements for accommodation of work-seekers.
Since Bodha is only a venue and does not propose or introduce work-seekers to recruiters or vice versa, if you are a work-seeker you undertake the steps set out in the Regulations to ensure your suitability for the role advertised or, if you are a recruiter, to ensure a work-seeker’s suitability for the role. These checks could include: (A) if you are a work-seeker; checking the identity of the recruiter and the nature of its business, the commencement date and duration of the position, the position to be filled including type of work, location, hours and risks to health and safety, experience, training, qualifications and authorization which the recruiter considers necessary or are required by law or otherwise to undertake the position, whether any expenses are payable by you as a work-seeker or whether there are any requirements imposed by law or otherwise for you to satisfy before taking up a position; and (B) if you are a recruiter; checking the identity of the work-seeker and that the work-seeker has the experience, training, qualifications and authorization required by law or otherwise for the position and whether there are any requirements imposed by law or otherwise for you, as the recruiter, to meet to enable a work-seeker to take up a position and additionally, where professional qualifications are required or where work-seekers are to work with vulnerable persons or children, you should obtain copies of the relevant qualifications, background checks and references. Any searching or screening tools provided by us for use in your assessment of the suitability or otherwise of any particular candidate or advertised vacancy are to assist you in taking these steps, but are not intended as a substitute for your own verifications of the candidate’s qualifications, work history and otherwise suitability for the position.

An arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same User to the extent required by applicable law. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all arbitration and other litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction of any dispute between you and Bodha related to this Agreement shall be located in any court of competent jurisdiction sitting within the State of New Jersey.
