1. Job Listings

DVNF, which is free to those individuals searching for employment openings (“Job Seekers”), may make available employment opportunities and other job-related content, including links to third-party websites “Job Listings”, through DVNF’s search results or otherwise through the Site. Searching for Job listings on DVNF is free for Job Seekers. Job listings are created and provided by third parties over whom DVNF exercises no control; you acknowledge and understand that DVNF has no control over the content of Job listings, links to or from Job listings, or any conditions third parties might impose once a Job Seeker has submitted an application or left the Site. For example, some of these third parties may attempt to charge Job Seekers a fee to apply to a particular job, although DVNF endeavors not to make such Job listings available on the Site. If you leave the DVNF Site and choose to enter a third-party website, you accept any terms and conditions imposed by that third-party. Employer websites may have conversion trackers or other functionality provided by DVNF, which informs us that an application has been completed on an Employer site. An Employer who installs such functionality is required under this Agreement to provide any notice, and obtain any prior consent, that may be required by applicable law. However, you acknowledge and agree that DVNF has no control over such an Employer or its website. You agree to DVNF’s use of, and receipt of information from, any such conversion tracker functionality. Some Job listings contained on, or linked from, the Site are indexed or posted in an automated manner.

DVNF assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any Job listing, Company Pages, screener questions and responses, and assessments. Additionally, DVNF may provide search options to narrow down Job listings search results by job type categories (i.e. full-time, part-time, etc.), and such categories are created independently and entirely by DVNF, and may not directly or accurately reflect the content of the Job listing. DVNF may reformat Job Listings so that you may read them more clearly on a mobile phone. DVNF may in some circumstances be compensated by employers who post Job listings, helping keep DVNF job search free for Job Seekers.

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. DVNF 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. DVNF 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 DVNF has no obligation to do so, DVNF may monitor User Content, and reserves the right to delete any User Content or portion thereof that, in DVNF’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 (other than Job Advertisements permitted by this Agreement), or that DVNF deems in its sole discretion to be inappropriate. If you believe that any User Content violates this Agreement or our policies, please contact DVNF immediately so that we may have the opportunity to consider its removal. You acknowledge and agree that DVNF does not have any obligation to host or remove any User Content, and i) the interpretation of whether any User Content violates any DVNF policy, ii) whether to publish or to withdraw from publication any User Content, and iii) whether to exclude any material that any party seeks to post on DVNF, will always remain within the sole discretion of DVNF. You agree that DVNF has no liability to you or anyone else arising from its editorial decisions. You acknowledge and agree that DVNF is an interactive computer service and does not have any obligation to screen any User Content, or to include any User Content in its search results or other listings, and may exclude or remove any User Content from publication for any or no reason.

DVNF 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 DVNF 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. When you post on DVNF confidentially or otherwise (e.g. anonymous Company Reviews or a confidential Job Ad), your identity may be discoverable by legal request, including, but not limited to, requests from the government or law enforcement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, DVNF 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).

You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, damages, and any other monies owed to any person or entity by reason of such User Content. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless DVNF and its affiliates from any claims resulting from any such User Content. If you wish to request to revoke the license granted by you in this Section for any such User Content, please send a certified letter of request to the postal address listed above with a copy of your passport or national identity card (for identity verification purposes) and request removal of such User Content. Your certified letter of request must include (a) the signature of the applicable rights holder for such User Content or a person authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder; (b) identification of the User Content for which the license is to be revoked, and information reasonably sufficient to allow DVNF to locate and remove such User Content on the Site; (c) your name, address, telephone number, and email address; (d) a statement that you have a good faith belief that you are the rights holder or authorized by the rights holder to revoke the license for the designated User Content; and (e) a statement that the information in the request is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the rights holder or are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder with respect to such User Content. There may be a charge for answering and executing such a request; please contact DVNF for more details.

At your discretion, you may provide feedback and related materials to DVNF concerning the functionality and performance of the Site from time to time, including, without limitation, identifying potential errors, improvements, modifications, bug fixes, or enhancements (“Feedback”). If you, through your evaluation or otherwise, provide any Feedback, you hereby grant to DVNF a nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple layers of sublicensees) right and license to make, use, sell, sublicense, reproduce, distribute, perform, display, prepare derivative works from and otherwise exploit all such Feedback for any purpose without restriction. You agree that DVNF may disclose any or all Feedback to any third party in any manner, and you agree that DVNF may sublicense any or all Feedback in any form to any third party without restriction. By providing any Feedback, you agree that your provision of such Feedback is gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction, and will not place DVNF under any fiduciary, confidentiality or other obligation, and that we are free to use such Feedback without any additional compensation to you, and free to disclose such Feedback on a non-confidential basis or otherwise to anyone. You further acknowledge that, by accepting any Feedback, DVNF does not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to DVNF, or developed by its employees, or obtained from sources other than you.

9. 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 DVNF 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 DVNF 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 DVNF 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 DVNF Copyright Notice, 4601 FORBES BLVD #130, LANHAM, MD 20706 or to our email communication@dvnf.org. 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.

10. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

If you are neither a Job Seeker nor an Employer as defined in this Agreement and are not using the Site as intended by DVNF, this Agreement will be governed as to all matters, including, but not limited to the validity, construction and performance of this Agreement, by and under the laws of MD, U.S.A.

11. Severability and Reformation

Each provision of this Agreement is a separately enforceable provision. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be or becomes unenforceable or illegal, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary in order for this Agreement to remain in effect in accordance with its terms as modified by such reformation. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and be construed and enforced, as if such provision had not been included, or had been modified as above provided, as the case may be.

12. Filtering for Minors

We hereby notify you that parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. Information identifying current providers of such protections is available from GetNetWise and OnGuard Online. Please note that DVNF does not endorse any of the products or services listed on such sites.

13. Use of Site by Minors

The Site is not for use by anyone under the age of 16. However, if local laws provide for an alternative minimum age for DVNF to lawfully provide the services in the Site to you, then that shall apply as the applicable minimum age. In all jurisdictions outside the European Union, if you are under the age of 18 or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must use DVNF under the supervision of your parent, legal guardian or responsible adult. DVNF adopts a range of measures to try to ensure that we do not accept individuals who do not meet the minimum age and any other applicable age requirements. If you do not satisfy these age requirements, please email privacy-dept @ DVNF.com (remove spaces when sending email).

14. Using e-Signature

Some pages on the Site may offer an e-signature option, which is powered by a third-party service provider.

DVNF disclaims all warranties associated with e-signatures, including any errors associated with the software or the validity of the signature. DVNF is not a legal record keeper. Your use of e-signatures is at your own risk, and it is your responsibility to ensure that your document is received and to retain your own copies.

15. Beta Products

DVNF may offer beta test products or features on our Site. You will know that a product or feature is offered on a beta or test basis because the product name or feature will state that it is offered on a beta or test basis or the name will include the word “beta.” These beta test products or features may be offered in limited quantities, in limited locations, and for a limited time. DVNF may discontinue or cancel all or part of a beta product or feature at anytime without prior notice to you. ANY BETA PRODUCT OR FEATURE IS IN TESTING PHASE AND IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, IS BELIEVED TO CONTAIN DEFECTS, AND A PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS BETA TEST IS TO OBTAIN FEEDBACK ON THE PRODUCT PERFORMANCE. YOU ARE ADVISED TO SAFEGUARD IMPORTANT DATA, TO USE CAUTION AND NOT RELY IN ANY WAY ON THE CORRECT FUNCTIONING OR PERFORMANCE OF THE BETA PRODUCT OR FEATURE OR ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS. If you have been invited to test a beta product or feature, you agree that, unless otherwise specifically provided herein or agreed by DVNF in writing, any beta product or feature and any documentation provided corresponding with a beta product or feature constitute confidential proprietary information of DVNF. You shall permit only authorized users, who possess rightfully obtained access to any beta product or functionality, access to the beta product or functionality or any corresponding documentation. You agree not to transfer, copy, disclose, provide or otherwise make available such confidential information in any form to any third party without the prior written consent of DVNF.
