Terms and Conditions

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR USE OF AND ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES (DEFINED BELOW) ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS; IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICES IN ANY MANNER.

Welcome to Staffr. Please read on to learn the rules and restrictions that govern your use of our website(s), and our products, services, applications and other offerings provided through the website(s) (the “Services”). If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these terms or the Services, please contact us at info@staffr.io.

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Staffr Gbr. (“Staffr,” “we” and “us”). You must agree to and accept all of the Terms, or you don’t have the right to use the Services. Your using the Services in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services. These Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in the Privacy Policy.

Will these Terms ever change?

We are constantly trying to improve our Services, so these Terms may need to change along with the Services. We reserve the right to change the Terms at any time, but if we do, we will bring it to your attention by placing a notice on the https://talent.staffr.io website, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means.

If you don’t agree with the new Terms, you are free to reject them; unfortunately, that means you will no longer be able to use the Services. If you use the Services in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, that means you agree to all of the changes.

Except for changes by us as described here, no other amendment or modification of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by both you and us.

What about my privacy?

Staffr takes the privacy of its users very seriously. For the current Staffr Privacy Policy, please click here.

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we take special care to protect the online privacy of children. In Germany, the age of digital consent is 16 years. Therefore, we do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under 16 without parental consent. If you are a child under 16, please do not attempt to register for our services or send any personal data about yourself to us. If we discover that we have collected personal data from a child under 16 without appropriate consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 16 may have provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action. Contact us at info@staffr.io.

What are the basics of using the Services?

The Services allow you to browse Content, search job openings, sign up for events, submit inquiries about working with Staffr to find talent, apply to job openings, and sign up for further information about and communications from Staffr. You acknowledge that if you apply for a job opening at a particular company, there is no guarantee that you will receive an offer to interview or a position with the applicable company. Additionally, you acknowledge that if you are accepted for a job opening, you may not be hired directly by the applicable company and instead may enter into an indirect relationship with the applicable company through Staffr (pursuant to separate written agreements).

You represent and warrant that you are an individual of legal age to form a binding contract (or if not, you’ve received your parent’s or guardian’s permission to use the Services and gotten your parent or guardian to agree to these Terms on your behalf). You represent and warrant that you have all rights and permissions to submit User Submissions and other information to us, including any information regarding a third party (for example, if you refer a third party to a job opening). If you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity’s behalf and bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” in these Terms, except for in this sentence, refer to that organization or entity).

You will only use the Services for your own purposes and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party, and only in a manner that complies with all laws that apply to you. If your use of the Services is prohibited by applicable laws, then you aren’t authorized to use the Services. We can’t and won’t be responsible for your using the Services in a way that breaks the law.

Your use of the Services is subject to the following additional restrictions:

You represent, warrant, and agree that you will not contribute any Content or User Information (each of those terms is defined below) or otherwise use the Services or interact with the Services in a manner that:

Infringes or violates the intellectual property rights or any other rights of anyone else (including Staffr);

Violates any law or regulation, including any applicable export control laws;

Runs Maillist, Listserv, any form of auto-responder or “spam” on the Services, or that otherwise interfere with the proper working of the Services (including by placing an unreasonable load on the Services’ infrastructure);

“Crawls,” “scrapes,” or “spiders” any page, data, or portion of or relating to the Services or Content (through use of manual or automated means);

Copies or stores any significant portion of the Content;

Decompiles, reverse engineers, or otherwise attempts to obtain the source code or underlying ideas or information of or relating to the Services.

A violation of any of the foregoing is grounds for termination of your right to use or access the Services.

What are my rights in the Services?

The materials displayed or performed or available on or through the Services, including, but not limited to, text, graphics, data, articles, photos, images, illustrations, webinars, User Submissions, and so forth (all of the foregoing, the “Content”) are protected by copyright and/or other intellectual property laws. You promise to abide by all copyright notices, trademark rules, information, and restrictions contained in any Content you access through the Services, and you won’t use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell or otherwise exploit for any purpose any Content not owned by you, (i) without the prior consent of the owner of that Content or (ii) in a way that violates someone else’s (including Staffr’s) rights.

You understand that Staffr owns the Services. You won’t modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce (except as expressly provided in this Section), create derivative works based on, or otherwise exploit any of the Services.

The Services may allow you to copy or download certain Content; please remember that just because this functionality exists, doesn’t mean that all the restrictions above don’t apply – they do!

Do I have to grant any licenses to Staffr or to other users?

Anything you submit, post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide through the Services is your “User Submission.” Some User Submissions are viewable by other users. For example, all the information you submit when you apply for a job opening may be submitted to the applicable user or company that posted the job opening. In order to allow other users to view them (where applicable), you grant us certain rights in those User Submissions. Please note that all of the following licenses are subject to our Privacy Policy to the extent they relate to User Submissions that are also your personally-identifiable information.

For all User Submissions, you hereby grant Staffr a license to translate, modify (for technical purposes, for example making sure your content is viewable on an iPhone as well as a computer) and reproduce and otherwise act with respect to such User Submissions, in each case to enable us to operate the Services, as described in more detail below. This is a license only – your ownership in User Submissions is not affected.

If you share a User Submission only in a manner that only certain specified users can view (for example, a job application) (a “Limited Audience User Submission”), then you grant Staffr the licenses above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Limited Audience User Submission for the sole purpose of making that Limited Audience User Submission accessible to such other specified users, and providing the Services necessary to do so. Also, you grant such other specified users a license to access that Limited Audience User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services.

If you share a User Submission publicly on the Services and/or in a manner that more than just you or certain specified users can view (for example, if you post a job opening) , or if you provide us (in a direct email or otherwise) with any feedback, suggestions, improvements, enhancements, and/or feature requests relating to the Services (each of the foregoing, a “Public User Submission”), then you grant Staffr the licenses above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Public User Submission for the purpose of making that Public User Submission accessible to all website visitors and Staffr users and providing the Services necessary to do so, as well as all other rights necessary to use and exercise all rights in that Public User Submission in connection with the Services and/or otherwise in connection with Staffr’s business. Also, you grant all other users of the Services a license to access that Public User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services.

You agree that the licenses you grant are royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, irrevocable, and worldwide.

Finally, you understand and agree that Staffr, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users (including you), may need to make changes to your User Submissions to conform and adapt those User Submissions to the technical requirements of connection networks, devices, services, or media, and the foregoing licenses include the rights to do so.

Who is responsible for what I see and do on the Services?

Any information or content publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Services is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such content originated, and you access all such information and content at your own risk, and we aren’t liable for any errors or omissions in that information or content or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it. We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Services. We can’t guarantee the identity of any users with whom you interact in using the Services and are not responsible for which users gain access to the Services.

You are responsible for all Content you contribute, in any manner, to the Services, and you represent and warrant you have all rights necessary to do so, in the manner in which you contribute it. You will keep all your registration information accurate and current. You are responsible for all your activity in connection with the Services.

The Services may contain links or connections to third party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Staffr (for example, links to the websites of companies that post job openings on our website). When you access third party websites or use third party services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that Staffr is not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party website or service that you visit or utilize.

Staffr has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any third party websites or by any third party that you interact with through the Services. In addition, Staffr will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third party site or service. By using the Services, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third party website or service.

Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals (unless you are accepted for a job opening with a company, in which case we may be involved in your interactions with such company, pursuant to a separate agreement). You should make whatever investigation you feel is necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties. You agree that Staffr shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.

In case of disputes between participants on this site, or between users and any third party, you agree that Staffr is under no obligation to become involved. In the event of a dispute with one or more other users, you release Staffr, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services. By using these Services, you acknowledge and accept this release, waiving any applicable similar laws or principles in your jurisdiction to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Will Staffr ever change the Services?

We’re always trying to improve the Services, so they may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services. We’ll try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Services that would adversely affect you, but this isn’t always practical. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.

Do the Services cost anything?

The Services are currently free, but we reserve the right to charge for certain or all Services in the future. We will notify you before any Services you are then using begin carrying a fee, and if you wish to continue using such Services, you must pay all applicable fees for such Services. For clarity, if you enter into a separate written agreement with Staffr for services outside of the use of this website (for example, if you are a company that hires a developer through Staffr), you may be required to pay fees pursuant to such agreement.

What if I want to stop using the Services?

You’re free to do stop using the Services and to request deletion of your User Submissions at any time, by contacting us at info@Staffr.io; please refer to our Privacy Policy, as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat information you provide to us after you have stopped using our Services.

Staffr is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services, for any reason in our discretion, including your breach of these Terms. Staffr has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.

Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.

What else do I need to know?

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Indemnity.

You agree to indemnify and hold Staffr, its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and partners harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages (actual and consequential), losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way related to any third party claims relating to (a) your use of the Services, and (b) your violation of these Terms. In the event of such a claim, suit, or action (“Claim”), we will attempt to provide notice of the Claim to the contact information we have for you (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not eliminate or reduce your indemnification obligations hereunder).

Assignment

You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without Staffr’s prior written consent. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.

Choice of Law; Arbitration.

These Terms are governed by and will be construed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.

(DIS) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of DIS arbitrators in accordance with these rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction. For all purposes of these Terms, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts located in Hamburg or the Amtsgericht Hamburg. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis: class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND STAFFR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Miscellaneous

You will be responsible for paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Services, provided that the Staffr may, in its sole discretion, do any of the foregoing on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit. The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and Staffr agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and Staffr, and that it supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of Staffr, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Staffr in any respect whatsoever. You and Staffr agree there are no third party beneficiaries intended under these Terms.
