Provisions Applicable to Employers
a.Job Postings on Zippia
Zippia runs and maintains a job board, where employers can post jobs and users can search for open jobs. This means that any employers or potential employers who are posting on Zippia.com (or otherwise contributing content) are further bound by additional requirements. If you use Zippia.com as an employer or otherwise contribute to our job board, you agree:
That jobs and job requirements will be legal in the state where they will be performed. Employers must follow all applicable laws, including but not limited to state, federal, and international labor and discrimination laws.
That all job screening requirements are an actual and legal requirement of the advertised position.
Not to submit false or misleading data, or false or misleading representations about a company, a job, or an industry.
Not to post any job that requires a fee or any form of payment to apply, requires users to recruit additional persons, or only pays commissions (except where the job post makes clear that the available job pays commission only and clearly describes the product or service that the job seeker would be selling).
Not to post any job that resembles a multi-level marketing scheme, franchise, pyramid scheme, “club membership”, distributorship, or sales representative agency arrangement.
Not to post any job that contains multiple job openings in a single job post.
Zippia has the right, in its sole discretion, to remove or prevent the posting of any job for any or no reason.
b. Reviews
Zippia permits Site users to post employer reviews. Employers may not offer incentives in order to obtain favorable reviews, and employers may not trade reviews with other employers. If we have evidence to believe that any person was artificially incentivized to leave a review, we will remove the review associated.
All reviews must follow our review guidelines.
c. Communications with Site Users
On behalf of employers, we may send out reminder emails to applicants you wish to interview. Zippia may also notify applicants that your job posting is potentially a match for their resume. You understand and agree that Zippia may take such actions.
These Sites includes content provided by third parties. All statements and opinions expressed by third parties are solely the opinions and the responsibility of the person or entity providing those materials. Those materials do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Zippia. Zippia is not responsible for the content or accuracy of any materials provided by any third parties.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. These Terms will be governed by the laws in effect in the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws, and your acceptance of these Terms will be considered to have taken place in California.
As noted below, you agree to waive your right to a trial in favor of a binding arbitration process, but if for some reason a trial becomes necessary, you agree that any judicial action will be brought in the state courts of Santa Clara, California, or the federal courts of the Northern District of California. By accepting these Terms, you are submitting yourself to the personal jurisdiction of these courts, whichever is appropriate given the dispute at hand.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement, or breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), with one (JAMS-recommended) change: the mediator will be allowed to award attorney’s fees.
The arbitrator(s) may award to the prevailing party, if any, costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. If a party prevails on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator(s) may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.
The results of this arbitration process are binding and take the place of a trial. Any judgment made under arbitration may be submitted as a judgment in the court of law. If any damages are owed to Zippia by the user, the user will be legally obligated to fulfill this financial obligation as if a trial had taken place.
Any claim subject to arbitration must be arbitrated on an individual basis and not on a class or consolidated basis. Claims of more than one user may not be arbitrated jointly or consolidated with those of any other user. To the extent any claim is determined to not be subject to arbitration, the claim shall be tried on an individual basis and not on a class or consolidated basis. ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IS WAIVED.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 6, 2024.
