The following terms and conditions apply to all Job Seekers, Employers, Publishers and other users who access or use the Site, or otherwise indicate their acceptance to this Agreement.
1. The KindArts Services
KindArts may make available certain job listings and other job-related contents, including links to third-party websites (such listings and other contents, (“Job Listings” or “Job Ads”), through KindArts’s search results or otherwise through the Site. Job Listings are created and provided by third parties over whom KindArts exercises no control; you acknowledge and understand that we have no control over Job Listings. Except for certain sponsored, featured or paid placements, the Job Listings contained on, or linked from, the Site are indexed or posted in an automated manner. KindArts does not have any obligation to screen any Job Listing, or to include any Job Listing in its search results or other listings, and may exclude or remove any Job Listing from the Site for any or no reason. We cannot confirm the accuracy or completeness of any Job Listing or other information submitted by any employer or other user, including the identity of such employer or other user. KindArts assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability, for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any Job Listing. You agree that KindArts may also provide search options to narrow down Job Listing search results by job type (i.e. full-time, part-time, etc.), and such job types are created independently and entirely by KindArts, and are not a direct reflection of the actual Job Listing.
1(a) Notice to Users Applying to Jobs Through KindArts: If you are a Job Seeker, any resume or application information that you submit through the Site is subject to this Agreement (including Section 4 below) and to KindArts’s Privacy Policy. Without limiting the foregoing, however, please note that by creating a public KindArts Resume through the Site, you are requesting and authorizing KindArts to make available your resume to any Employer that KindArts believes may have an interest in your resume. By creating or uploading an KindArts Resume, KindArts may contact you to share Job Listings with you that match the contents of your KindArts Resume. In addition, when you indicate your interest in a Job Listing through KindArts Apply (hereinafter, all references on the Site to “Apply Now”, “Easily Apply”, “Simple Apply”, “Apply from your phone”, “Apply with KindArts” or any similar references are referred to as “KindArts Apply”) you are requesting and authorizing KindArts to reformat the job so that you may read it more clearly in your phone, you are sending your resume and application information to KindArts, and you are requesting and authorizing KindArts to make available such application information to the applicable Employer(s) for such Job Listing(s). When you ask KindArts to transmit an application or a message to an Employer via KindArts Apply or KindArts’s relay system, you understand that this is without warranty. KindArts also does not guarantee that any Employer will receive, access, read or respond to any such resume or application material, or that there will be no mistakes in the transmission of the data. However, KindArts may alert you when any of the above events occur.
In addition, by using KindArts, you agree that KindArts is not responsible for the content of the Employer’s application form, messages, screener questions, testing assessments or their format or method of delivery and that KindArts does not guarantee receipt of your application by the Employer, or your receipt of messages from the Employer. Please note that KindArts does not choose the questions asked by Employers or decide the job qualification criteria of Employers. If you require alternative methods of screening or application you must approach the Employer directly to request such as KindArts is not responsible for the Employer application process.
By using KindArts Apply and answering screener questions, you acknowledge that Employers may have instructed KindArts to send out rejection notices if you have not answered the questions in a manner that the Employer so wishes, and you acknowledge that KindArts has no discretion in the transmission of these rejections. When you apply to a job using the KindArts Apply button, KindArts will attempt to send your application to the contact information provided to us by an Employer or their Agent. We cannot vouch for the validity of such contact information provided to us. If you do not feel comfortable sending an application or messages in this manner, do not use the KindArts Apply or KindArts relay functions and please send your application or messages directly to the Employer by whatever other method you so choose. Additionally, you consent to your application and any responses sent to you by the Employer (including offer letters) through KindArts being processed and analyzed by KindArts according to this Agreement and KindArts’s Privacy Policy. KindArts shall store such information regardless of whether a job vacancy has been filled. KindArts may use your application materials (including public resumes and responses to screener questions) to determine whether you may be interested in a Job Listing, and KindArts may reach out to you about such Job Listing. KindArts does not guarantee the validity of a job offer and cautions Job Seekers to verify the validity of a job offer before taking an adverse action regarding their current employment situations.
1(b) If you are an Employer, when you create an KindArts account, a Career Page or post a Job Listing on the Site, whether as part of the KindArts Ads Program or otherwise, you agree that this Agreement and all of KindArts’s policies, including the KindArts Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, apply to you and to the Job Seekers using such Career Page or indicating an interest in such Job Listings. Specifically, when you create an KindArts account, KindArts may require that you verify your identity through a third party service called NetVerify. By using NetVerify, you are submitting your identification documents for verification directly to NetVerify, you are agreeing to share your identification with NetVerify, and you agree that NetVerify is solely responsible for any use or loss of data. KindArts may have access to your identification documents via NetVerify. You also agree that, as a service to Job Seekers, KindArts may activate its KindArts Apply relay function for use in connection with such Job Listing, and that any Job Seekers who wish to indicate an interest in such Job Listing may only do so through KindArts Apply, and that KindArts will send applications to the email address you provide us with. When you use the KindArts Apply relay function, you acknowledge and agree that KindArts may add certain functions into the email, which allows you to take actions regarding the Job Seeker including setting up an interview, viewing a resume and rejecting a candidate, and that you consent to KindArts monitoring and analyzing these actions. When using the KindArts Apply function, KindArts will attempt to send applications to the contact information provided to KindArts by you, the Employer. KindArts has no ability to verify the contact information provided by You. In the event You provide incorrect contact information, it shall be your responsibility to correct, appropriately respond, or take any steps necessary to protect the privacy of such Job Seekers, and you indemnify KindArts for any damages resulting therefrom. In addition, KindArts may, on your behalf, send out reminder emails to Job Seekers you wish to interview. KindArts may also send emails to Job Seekers on your behalf indicating that your Job Listing is potentially a match for the Job Seeker’s resume. KindArts is not responsible for the content of your emails, application form, screener questions or their format, and KindArts does not guarantee delivery, your receipt of the Job Seeker’s emails or application materials, or that there will be no mistakes in the transmission of the data. When you use screener questions, you may be given the option to instruct KindArts to send out rejection notices if the Job Seeker has not answered the questions in the manner set forth in the online instruction. If you choose such option, you agree you are instructing us to send out rejection notices to such candidates and set them to rejected in your Employer dashboard. You further acknowledge that KindArts has no discretion in the transmission of these rejections (which is purely mechanical), that transmission is not guaranteed, and that the Job Seeker may not have answered the screener questions accurately. You agree that KindArts Apply is presented to you without warranty and KindArts assumes no responsibility for the communications between you and the Job Seeker, which communications are yours’ and the Job Seekers’ sole responsibility. By using any automated phone screen product, you agree that you are requesting KindArts to send a Job Seeker a telephone number, which the Job Seeker may call with the purpose of answering your telephone screening questions. You agree these questions are part of your application process, are solely determined by you, and are not being asked by KindArts. You also agree that you are only asking KindArts to record the Job Seeker’s answers to your screening questions and that KindArts will forward you the recording of the answers to your questions. You consent to KindArts listening to and analyzing the recording in accordance with KindArts’s Privacy Policy. When you respond to or contact a Job Seeker who has used KindArts Resume, or KindArts Apply, you are providing information to KindArts and requesting and authorizing us to make available such information to the applicable Job Seeker. Additionally, you consent to Job Seekers’ applications and any responses sent by you (including offer letters) through KindArts being processed and analyzed by KindArts according to this Agreement and KindArts’s Privacy Policy. KindArts shall store such information regardless of whether a job vacancy has been filled. You are responsible for the contents of any Career Page that you create, any Job Listings that you post, and any messages that you send through KindArts Apply or otherwise, including any questions for Job Seekers. You agree that KindArts may reject or remove any Job Listing, any part of any Career Page, or any questions for Job Seekers for any or no reason. You shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless KindArts, its agents, affiliates, and licensors from any third-party claim or liability (including without limitation reasonable legal fees) arising out of any Career Page created by you, or any Job Listing or screener questions (or answers thereto) posted by you, or any message sent by you (including any questions for Job Seekers contained in any of the foregoing). KindArts may provide analytics data regarding your Employer account to anyone at your company at KindArts’s discretion. To the extent permitted by law, if you have an unpaid or outstanding invoice or account balance for any KindArts product, KindArts reserves the right to suspend or terminate your use of that KindArts product as well as any other KindArts product, including but not limited to those KindArts products where you do not have an unpaid invoice or account balance.
1(c) Regardless of whether you are an Employer or Job Seeker, when you send, store or receive materials (including Job Listings, resumes, and messages) through or using the Site, KindArts may, for example, use such materials for data analysis, quality control, or to refine the Site or any other KindArts product or service (including to provide better search results and other listings for Job Seekers and Employers), whether via automated means or otherwise. When you send, store or receive materials through or using the Site, KindArts may also inform a Job Seeker that an Employer has taken an action with regards to a Job Seeker’s application such as opening the application, viewing the application and making a decision with regards to the application, and you hereby consent to KindArts taking such actions. KindArts assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability, for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any job listing, Career Page, job solicitation, screener question, answer to screener question, resume information you post, send or receive through the Site. If you see any inaccuracy in any such material, it is your responsibility to correct such information or to contact KindArts to do so.
1(d) Regardless of whether you are an Employer or Job Seeker, KindArts may use application materials (including resumes and responses to screener questions) to determine whether the words of any Job Seeker’s resume and answers to screener questions match the words of a Job Listing, and vice-versa. Regardless of whether you are an Employer or Job Seeker, you agree and consent that KindArts may differentiate those matching resumes and screener questions from those that do not match, and presenting them to Employers as matches or not matches. KindArts may also use such information in order to improve the Site or any other KindArts product or service (including by displaying or otherwise making available potentially relevant Job Listings and resumes to Job Seekers and Employers).
1(e) Regardless of whether you are an Employer or Job Seeker, KindArts may provide certain categories of information to you for informational purposes only. For example, KindArts may provide you with data regarding estimated salaries for a certain Job Listing, or about estimated applies to a Job Listing you may receive as an Employer. These figures provided by KindArts are estimates given for informational purposes only, and they are subject to change or varying levels of accuracy. With respect to information regarding estimated applies, if you are an Employer participating in the KindArts Ads Program, please note that this is not the information you are purchasing from KindArts and you are not charged per apply. KindArts may also include salary estimations on pages other than Job Listings on the Site. Please note that all salary figures are approximations based upon multiple third party submissions to KindArts. These figures are given to KindArts users for the purpose of generalized comparison only. Minimum wage may differ by jurisdiction and you should consult the employer for actual salary figures.
1(f) Regardless of whether you are an Employer or Job Seeker, KindArts may provide certain types of career-related information on its Site in the KindArts Career Guide. All information contained in the KindArts Career Guide is for informational purposes only, and is in no way to be construed as professional career counseling. You understand that KindArts may give suggestions or information regarding best-practices, however, you understand that it is ultimately your responsibility to determine how to pursue your job search or candidate search. You further understand that in providing the KindArts Career Guide, KindArts is not acting as a job placement agency or staffing firm. You also understand that by referring to the KindArts Career Guide, you are not guaranteed job interviews, job placement or assurance of being hired, and you take full responsibility for use of these services.
1(g) Regardless of whether you are an Employer or Job Seeker, KindArts may provide you an online questionnaire relating to your industry and/or your hiring or job searching needs. KindArts may match a Job Seeker’s responses to such questionnaires to determine, on the basis of the Employer’s responses to a questionnaire about its industry and/or hiring needs, whether such Job Seeker would match the Employer’s hiring criteria as specified in the Employer’s questionnaire responses. In the event KindArts determines that a Job Seeker matches the Employer’s hiring criteria, KindArts may connect such matching Job Seeker and Employer by sending a note informing both parties of the match, including but not limited to sending an Employer a short description of a Job Seeker taken directly from the Job Seeker’s responses to the questionnaire. In all events you will know what data we are providing to either a Job Seeker or Employer, or upon which we relied to make the match, because you have actively submitted it. If the Employer and Job Seeker express interest in each other, you agree KindArts may provide the Employer with an email address for the Job Seeker either provided by KindArts or the Job Seeker and, if you are a Job Seeker, you consent to this. Regardless of whether you are an Employer or Job Seeker, by submitting the completed questionnaire, you agree and consent to KindArts (i) conducting such matching, utilizing only material you have submitted through the questionnaire process, (ii) presenting matching Job Seekers to Employers, and vice versa and (iii) storing and analyzing such data submitted in response to such online questionnaires.
1(h) If you are a Job Seeker, you take a variety of actions on our Site. For example, you search for jobs, and KindArts knows and stores the titles of jobs you search for, where those jobs are located, any information, including salary interest or experience of which you have informed KindArts, or the general salary range or experience level of the jobs you view (if indicated on the Job Listings), the Job Listings you apply to, or any of your other behavior on the KindArts site, when you use KindArts. You know exactly what this data is because you are the person who undertook the activity and the data pertains only to your activity. If you have an KindArts account or an KindArts-hosted resume, you agree that KindArts may use this observed factual data to suggest jobs to you and to suggest you or your public resume to Employers that might be interested in a person who matches your behavior on KindArts. You also agree that KindArts may contact you based on this observed behavior for Employers or for KindArts itself. Please note, although information may be sent to you by a third party through the KindArts system, the aforementioned behavior does not include information relayed to you. However, KindArts may publicly display the fact that you have recently used the KindArts Site or the fact that you have recently used the KindArts system to correspond with a third party.
1(i) If you are a Job Seeker located in India, please note that KindArts may automatically send you recommended jobs via the email address you use to create an KindArts account or apply to a job. KindArts may determine what these recommended jobs are on the basis of a variety of factors, including but not limited to, any information you input on the Site about yourself, searches you run on the Site, jobs you click on, jobs you apply to, or the materials you provide in a job application to an Employer through KindArts.
1(j) The KindArts Express Plan is governed by the terms and conditions found in the KindArts Ads Program terms below, with the exception of any billing terms contained in Section 5. Payment. If you have chosen to activate the KindArts Express Plan, please note that you will only be charged the amount listed on the Express Plan page in the Post a Job funnel on the Site (“Express Plan Page”) if you receive the number of qualified applicants described on the Express Plan Page, in the amount of time listed on the Express Plan Page. A Qualified Applicant is defined as an applicant whose answers to the application questions you configure meet your defined requirements. In order to activate this plan, you must configure at least one application question. Once you have activated an Express Plan, you may pause or cancel your job at any time. Once you have received the number of Qualified Applicants listed on the Express Plan Page, your job may be automatically paused. After the amount of time listed on the Express Plan Page has passed, if you reactivate your job, it will be governed by the entirety of the KindArts Ads Program terms.
1(k) Screening Tools: KindArts may make screening tools available to Employers for Employer use in the application process, including screener questions, phone screen tools and employee assessments. KindArts is licensing these tools to you for your use as you determine. By using any screening product, made available to you by KindArts, you agree that you have made the determination to use these tools as part of your application process, and the substantive questions you ask or choose are solely determined by you, and are not being asked by KindArts. You are the sole party to determine which answers will qualify a candidate. You are solely responsible for the use of the screening tool including any results which are considered to have a “disparate impact”. You further acknowledge that you are responsible for offering alternative methods of screening, if so required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other equivalent state act. KindArts does not warrant that the method of delivery of these questions would be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act or any equivalent state act. You the Employer agree to indemnify KindArts for any and all claims arising out of an Employer’s use of a Screening Tool, including any claims that any screening tool does not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act or that such Screening Tool results in a “disparate impact”.
1(l) Regardless of whether you are a Job Seeker or an Employer, any emails or email notifications corresponding with any actions you take on the Site through the KindArts Apply process are provided solely as a courtesy. KindArts disclaims all warranties with regards to the transmission of such courtesy notices, does not guarantee their delivery or receipt, and does not guarantee the date or time at which they may be sent.
2. External Sites
The Site contains links to other sites on the Internet which are owned and/or operated by third-party vendors and other third parties (the “External Sites”). You acknowledge that KindArts is not responsible or liable for any such third parties or for the availability of, or the materials located on or through, any External Sites. You should contact the site administrator or webmaster for the applicable External Site if you have any concerns regarding such links or the materials located on an External Site.
In addition, KindArts may provide you with links to certain third party sites that offer you services for your use or benefit. We may stop offering any such third party sites or services at any time. If you choose to use such third party sites or services, you enter into an agreement with such third party alone at your own risk. When entering into an agreement with such parties, you are giving them your data directly and your rights and their obligations are determined by their privacy policies and terms of service. We are not responsible for any content or services provided these third parties, and disclaim all liability from anything that may occur when you utilize such third parties. We are additionally not responsible for any payment that may be asked of you by such third party. You will be notified on the site that these are third party sites and services, and not KindArts.
3. Use of Site
You are not permitted to use KindArts’s Site or its content other than for non-commercial purposes. Use of any automated system or software, whether operated by a third party or otherwise, to extract data from the Site (such as screen scraping or crawling) is prohibited. KindArts reserves the right to take such action as it considers necessary, including issuing legal proceedings without further notice, in relation to any unauthorized use of the Site. If you wish to make commercial use of the Site, if you wish to make use of the Site in any capacity other than that of a Jobseeker or Employer, or if you wish to purchase KindArts services that utilize the Site, you must have a prior written agreement with KindArts to do so, or have accepted KindArts’s online terms of service. Please contact us for more information. We reserve the right at all times (but will not have any obligation) to terminate users, and reclaim usernames or URLs, for any reason.
4. User Content
Some parts of the Site, such as message boards and forums, may allow users to post Job Listings, resumes, information, text, images, audio, video, messages, and other materials (any such materials that a user submits, posts, displays, or otherwise makes available on or through the Site is referred to herein as “User Content”). Such functionality is designed to help users obtain career and company information, facilitate communication, discuss ways to make career decisions, and to let users know of jobs. User Content is provided by third-party contributors, many of whom may use anonymous screen names. User Content may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or deceptive. For example, the Site hosts Company Pages, which allow User Content to be posted by individuals that may not be affiliated with the Company who owns the Company Page, including but not limited to the answers to Q&A questions on Company Pages. KindArts does not endorse and is not responsible for any User Content, including any opinion, advice, information, or statement contained therein. You acknowledge that by accessing the Site, you may come into contact with content (including User Content) that you find harmful, offensive, threatening, indecent or objectionable, including, but not limited to, explicit language and other potentially offensive material, and you acknowledge that KindArts shall have no liability with respect to such content.
You must not post any User Content that is unlawful, fraudulent, discriminatory, threatening, abusive, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable, or that contains sexual, ethnic, racial or other discriminating slurs, or that contains no relevant or constructive content. You must also not post any User Content that contains proprietary information, trade secrets, confidential information, advertisements, solicitations, chain letters, pyramid schemes, investment opportunities, or other unsolicited commercial communication (except as otherwise expressly permitted by us in writing), or encourages or causes spamming or flooding.
You are prohibited from posting any User Content containing official identification information (whether your own or of another person), such as social security number, passport number, national identification number, insurance number, driver’s license number, immigration number, or any other similar number, code, or identifier. Posting such identification information may lead to identity theft and other adverse consequences. KindArts may remove any such identification information, but does not undertake any obligation to do so, and has no responsibility and disclaims all liability for any posting of such identification information. KindArts reserves the right to change the display of resume on its Site, including, but not limited to, hiding fields, rearranging its format, and changing visual elements.
Although KindArts has no obligation to do so, KindArts may monitor User Content, and reserves the right to delete any User Content or portion thereof that, in KindArts’s sole discretion, violates the above rules, including any User Content that is unrelated to the specific portion of the Site on which it is posted, or that is an advertisement, recruiting or other commercial message, or that KindArts deems in its sole discretion to be inappropriate. If you believe that any User Content violates this Agreement or our policies, please contact KindArts immediately so that we may have the opportunity to consider its removal. For clarity, KindArts does not have any obligation to remove any User Content, and the interpretation of whether any User Content violates any KindArts policy will always remain within the sole discretion of KindArts.
KindArts reserves the right to disclose all User Content and other relevant information, and the circumstances surrounding their transmission, to any third party in connection with operating the Site; to protect itself, its affiliates, its partners and its visitors; and to comply with legal obligations or governmental requests. This means, for example, that KindArts may honor subpoenas, search warrants, law enforcement or court-mandated requests to reveal a user’s electronic address and identity, or other properly requested information. As an Employer, when you post a Job Listing on KindArts that you choose to list as confidential, your identity may be discoverable by request from the government or law enforcement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, KindArts reserves the right (but is under no obligation) to remove any Job Listing that directly or indirectly discriminates against Job Seekers. Direct discrimination means, for example, that a Job Listing specifically makes clear that only Job Seekers matching a certain criteria are wanted, thereby excluding others because of, for example, their gender, race, age or disability. Indirect discrimination means, for example, that a Job Listing implicitly excludes certain classes of Job Seekers by making it impossible for them to qualify for the job requirements. You understand and agree that it is your responsibility to refrain from posting any Job Listing that directly or indirectly discriminate against Job Seekers or otherwise violate applicable law.
Please note: Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act provides that:
(1) Treatment of publisher or speaker
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.
(2) Civil liability
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; or
(B) any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).

By registering for an KindArts account, you agree to receive mandatory email updates regarding anomalous activity to your KindArts account. If you attempt to send an email from a name or email address that is not true, accurate, current or complete, we reserve the right to drop such email, and attempting to send such email is a violation of our terms. A Linked Account is created when the primary account owner of an Employer account invites other users to the same account. When using a Linked Account, all users within the same Linked Account have access to the communications and actions of all other users within the Linked Account, and you consent to such access.
We reserve the right at all times (but will not have an obligation) to terminate users or to reclaim usernames or URLs.
You agree that KindArts may, as part of its services to you, communicate with you, or initiate communication with you on behalf of a third party, through your KindArts account or through other means such as email, telephone (including mobile phone), or postal mail, including through the use of contact information that you may provide to KindArts or that KindArts may otherwise obtain from third-party sources. By providing KindArts with a mobile phone number, you expressly consent to receiving communication via such mobile number. When you give KindArts a mobile number and consent to receiving communication, such communications are inherent to the services you have signed up for, and you may not revoke such consent without discontinuing use of KindArts’s services.

10. Claims of Infringement
U.S. Copyright Infringement. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA“) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by KindArts infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information as required by 17 USC. § 512(c)(3)(A): (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow KindArts to locate the material on the site; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send KindArts a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent in writing to KindArts Copyright Notice, 6433 Champion Grandview Way, Building 1, Austin, TX, 78750, USA (copyright @ KindArts.com) (remove spaces when sending email). We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there are penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
Other Claims of Infringement. For claims of infringement that do not involve a U.S. copyright, please contact us via our Site contact form.
