    These terms of use (“Terms of Use”) are entered into between you (“you” and “your”) and Zippia, Inc. (“Zippia” or “we”). The Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Zippia website at https://www.zippia.com/ including any content, functionality and services offered on or through it (the “Site”).

    By using the Site, you agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use. Zippia may terminate your ability to use the Site without notice if you do not comply with the Terms of Use. Zippia reserves the right to make changes to the Site and to the Terms of Use at any time. All changes are effective immediately when posted. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of the revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes.

    All Information Zippia collects on this Site is subject to our Privacy Notice posted at the Site here. By using the Site, you consent to all actions taken by us with respect to your Information in compliance with the Privacy Notice. The Privacy Notice is incorporated into and governed by these Terms of Use. To the extent there is a conflict, the Terms of Use supersede the Privacy Notice.

    Terms like “Information” that are in these Terms of Use but not defined here are defined in the Privacy Notice.

  3. Applying Through Zippia
  4. Some job postings permit you to complete and submit your application and/or resume through Zippia. We provide this service by working directly with employers or by searching the Internet for the best contact information associated with employers. When you submit your application and/or resume through Zippia, we will send your materials to the most appropriate contact we have on file for that employer.

    Because we have no control over the websites of employers, we cannot guarantee that your application will be properly received by an employer. If you have reason to believe that your application was not received by an employer, we recommend contacting that employer directly to confirm the status of your application.

    Zippia does not guarantee the identity of any employer or any individuals working for any employers. We encourage Site users to be cautious when applying for jobs. Zippia does not guarantee the validity of a job offer and encourages Site users to verify the validity of a job offer before taking any actions in connection with their current employment. You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any employers or job offers you encounter in connection with the Site.

Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

  17. 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.

    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.

  30. Waiver And Severability
  31. No waiver by Zippia of a term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition. Any failure of Zippia to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

  33. The Terms of Use and our Privacy Notice constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Zippia with respect to the Site and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Site.
  34. Term and Termination
  35. These Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect while you use the Site. Even after you are no longer a user of the Site, certain provisions of these Terms that by their nature are intended to survive will remain in effect, including sections 1, 3, 6-8, and 13-21. You agree that Zippia, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate any account or your access to the Site (or any part thereof) in general, and remove and discard any content or data at any time and for any reason, with or without notice, and without any liability to you or to any third party for any claims, damages, costs or losses resulting therefrom.

To unsubscribe from text messages users can reply to the text with “STOP” or also update their profile in the website or contact us at [email protected].
  38. Applicable Law, Binding Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver
  39. 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.
