JobHunt Terms of Service
DRAFT – these are not binding terms. The marked placeholders must be filled in and the document reviewed by a lawyer before a paid service is offered.
§ 1. General provisions
- These Terms set out the rules for using the JobHunt service available at https://jobhunt.bieda.it (the “Service”), including the rules for providing services by electronic means within the meaning of the Polish Act of 18 July 2002 on Providing Services by Electronic Means.
- The Service is provided by Emil Grużalski, running a business under the name Emil Grużalski IT Services, address: ul. Warszawska 25 lok. 201, 85-058 Bydgoszcz, Poland, tax ID (NIP): 9532821831, REGON: 545828352, entered in the Polish Central Register and Information on Economic Activity (the “Provider”).
- Contact with the Provider: e-mail [email protected].
- These Terms are made available free of charge in the Service in a form that allows them to be downloaded, stored and printed.
§ 2. Definitions
- User – a natural person, legal person or organisational unit using the Service.
- Consumer – a User who is a natural person concluding an agreement not directly related to their business or professional activity.
- Sole trader with consumer rights – a natural person running a sole proprietorship who concludes an agreement directly related to their business where the agreement shows it is not of a professional nature for them (Art. 3855 of the Polish Civil Code, Art. 38a of the Polish Consumer Rights Act). The provisions of these Terms concerning Consumers apply to such a person to the extent provided by law.
- Account – the User's individual account in the Service.
- User Content – data saved by the User in their Account, in particular job offer descriptions, notes, tags and status history.
- Paid Plan – the paid scope of services provided under a subscription.
§ 3. Scope of services
- The Service lets Users keep their own record of recruitment processes, in particular: saving job offers, reading data from offer pages automatically, tagging technologies, keeping statuses, notes and dates, and downloading a copy of one's own data in JSON. The Service does not offer importing data from files.
- At the User's request the Service may fetch a publicly available job offer page indicated by the User, or read a page provided by the User. The Service does not build a public database of offers and does not share User Content with other people.
- The Service provides all signed-in Users with a shared ideas board where they can post comments and suggestions about the Service and vote on them (“like” / “dislike”). Posts are shown to other Users anonymously – without the author's e-mail address or any other author data.
- The Service is not a recruitment or employment agency and is not responsible for the content of offers published by employers and job portals.
- An Account has technical limits that protect the Service from abuse: up to 2000 jobs and 50 MB of data, and limits on the number of operations in a given time. Current usage is shown in the Account menu. The Provider may change the limits; it will announce any reduction in advance, and data saved earlier stays available.
- The Provider offers a free tier and a Paid Plan. The plans and prices are described in the Service: [price list – once payments are launched].
§ 4. Technical requirements
To use the Service you need: a device with Internet access, an up-to-date web browser with JavaScript and cookies enabled, and an active e-mail address (or a Google account, if you choose to sign in with Google).
§ 5. Account – conclusion and termination of the agreement
- The agreement for the free tier is concluded at the first sign-in after accepting these Terms and reading the Privacy Policy. It is concluded for an indefinite period.
- Users sign in with their e-mail address and password or through their Google account. The password is set with a one-time link sent to the user's e-mail address – when creating the Account and when resetting a forgotten password. Users undertake not to share their password with third parties and are responsible for keeping access to their mailbox and Google account secure.
- Users may terminate the agreement at any time, without giving a reason and at no cost, by deleting their Account in the Service (Account menu → “Delete account”). Deleting the Account permanently deletes the User Content, subject to § 9(3). Before deleting it the User may download a copy of their data (Account menu → “Download my data”).
- The Provider may terminate the agreement with 30 days' notice given by e-mail, or with immediate effect in the event of a gross breach of these Terms, in particular of § 7.
- If there is a reasonable suspicion of a breach of these Terms, in particular of § 7, or of a threat to the security of the Account or the Service, the Provider may block the Account until the matter is clarified. Blocking ends the sign-in sessions and disconnects the browser extension; the User Content stays intact. While the Account is blocked, the User may request a copy of their data or the deletion of the Account by e-mail.
§ 6. Paid Plan and withdrawal from the agreement
[To be completed once the payment provider is chosen. If sales are handled by an intermediary (Merchant of Record, e.g. Paddle), it is the seller of the subscription – the provisions on payments, invoices and refunds must be aligned with its terms.]
- The Paid Plan is provided in [monthly / annual] billing periods and renews automatically until the User cancels it. It can be cancelled at any time, effective at the end of the paid period.
- A Consumer may withdraw from the Paid Plan agreement within 14 days of its conclusion without giving a reason (Art. 27 of the Polish Consumer Rights Act of 30 May 2014) by sending a statement to the Provider's e-mail address. The model form in Annex 2 to that Act may be used.
- If the Consumer expressly requested that the service start before the withdrawal period ends, on withdrawal they pay an amount proportional to the services provided until the withdrawal. [VERIFY with a lawyer the rules for digital services, Art. 35 of the Polish Consumer Rights Act.]
- The Provider refunds the payment without delay and no later than 14 days after receiving the withdrawal statement, using the same payment method the Consumer used.
§ 7. User obligations
- Users shall use the Service in accordance with the law and these Terms, in particular they shall not provide unlawful content or take actions that disrupt the Service or circumvent its security measures and limits.
- Users fetch and read job offer pages for their own use and are responsible for complying with the terms of the portals the offers come from.
- If User Content contains personal data of other people (e.g. recruiters), the User processes it on their own account and is responsible for having a legal basis for doing so.
- Posts on the ideas board must not contain unlawful, offensive or promotional content, or personal data – including your own, since every User can see the posts. The Provider may remove a post that breaches this point. Authors can delete their own posts at any time.
§ 8. Conformity of the service and complaints
- The Provider is liable to Consumers for the conformity of the digital service with the agreement under Chapter 5b of the Polish Consumer Rights Act.
- Complaints can be sent by e-mail to [email protected]. A complaint should include the Account's e-mail address and a description of the problem.
- The Provider responds to a complaint within 14 days of receiving it.
- Consumers may use out-of-court complaint and redress procedures, among others the help of a municipal or district consumer ombudsman or a permanent consumer arbitration court at the regional Trade Inspection office. Information is available on the website of the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (uokik.gov.pl).
§ 9. Availability and liability
- The Provider makes every effort to keep the Service running without interruption but reserves the right to technical breaks, announced in advance where possible.
- The Provider is not responsible for the User's recruitment decisions or for the accuracy of data read automatically from offers – the User should check it before saving.
- The Provider makes backups. Data deleted by the User may remain in backups for up to 30 days and is then permanently deleted.
- Towards Users who are neither Consumers nor sole traders with consumer rights, the Provider's liability is limited to the fees paid by the User in the last 12 months and does not cover lost profits. These limitations do not apply to damage caused intentionally.
§ 10. Changes to the Terms
- The Provider may change these Terms for important reasons, in particular changes in the law, in the scope of services or in payment rules.
- Users will be informed of a change by e-mail at least 14 days before it takes effect. A User who does not accept the changes may delete their Account before that date.
- Once the changes take effect, the Service asks the User to accept the new version of the Terms the next time they use their Account. Until they accept it, the User can only sign out, download a copy of their data or delete the Account.
§ 11. Final provisions
- These Terms are governed by Polish law. This choice of law does not deprive a Consumer of the protection granted by mandatory provisions of the law of the country of their habitual residence.
- Disputes with Users who are not Consumers are settled by the court having jurisdiction over the Provider's registered place of business.
- The processing of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy.
