Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

TERMS & CONDITIONS

Heading:
Terms & Conditions – RecruitForm Web-service

I suggest that both, on the FREE TRIAL Registration Form and on the REGULAR SUBSCRIBERS Registration Form, we have a statement that reads:

“I have read the Terms & Conditions and the same are accepted by me”  (check-box)

Unless the person registering checks the check-box, software must not accept him as subscriber. A pop-up window should remind him to first read the “conditions” before clicking on Submit.

I enclose my draft of our Terms & Conditions, for your perusal and comments, if any.

Acceptance of our Terms & Conditions by potential subscriber must constitute an AGREEMENT between parties.

Question: Under Project BARTER, my email (drafted to Placement Agencies) says, “We automatically accept you as a Free Trial…” We will send you your (User ID) after we receive your FORM accepting EXCHANGE OFFER.

How to tackle this?

“Terms & Conditions”

  • RecruitGuru (comprising different modules such as GumMine / GumSearch etc.) is a pay-per-use web-service, based on Microsoft’s .NET technology and hosted on www.RecruitGuru.com.
  • These terms & conditions apply to all those who become
  • temporary subscriber (by filling FREE TRIAL registration form) or
  • permanent subscriber (by filling Regular registration form) of RecruitGuru.
  • Subscribers will pay for whatever transactions they carry out on our web-service, as per the tariff chart (Menu Card). RecruitGuru reserves the right to modify the tariff anytime, by giving 15 days’ notice to the subscribers by e-mail.
  • Subscribers will be able to execute only those transactions which they have selected themselves by ticking the appropriate boxes at the time of registration.

 

Subscriber would have the facility to add/delete the transactions at any time, after logging in.

  • RecruitGuru webservice is a prepaid service (much like a mobile phone prepaid service). As a subscriber carries out each transaction, the prepaid amount standing to the credit of the subscriber gets reduced by the value of the concerned transaction. The service will stop automatically when the balance (of prepaid amount) stands reduced to NIL/ZERO. Before this event, an email will get sent to the subscriber, alerting him of the balance amount status and suggesting to make additional payment through the ADMIN tool.
  • There are three types of payments that a subscriber would need to make in advance, as follows:
    a) Activation Fee
  • b) User Fee
  • c) Transaction Fee

Activation Fee is a one-time/non-refundable fee. Activation Fee need not be paid once again for reactivation of the service after temporary discontinuation of less than 6 months.

User Fee is linked to the number of users authorised to access the service. Once the number of authorised users is predetermined and the fee paid, new users can be added and old users can be deleted (from the Authorisation List) as long as the total number of users remains the same as predetermined.

A subscriber may, however, increase the number of users by paying additional User Fee. User Fee is non-refundable. In case of reactivation after discontinuance, User Fee needs to be paid once again.

As far as the Transaction Fee is concerned, a subscriber would need to estimate his expenditure in advance and pay accordingly. This fee is non-refundable, even if the subscriber chooses to discontinue our webservice before the transaction-fee balance amount gets reduced to NIL/ZERO. This amount gets lapsed/forfeited and cannot/will not be carried forward as a “credit” in cases of reactivation after discontinuance.

  • Whereas RecruitGuru will take utmost care and put in best effort to provide a high standard/level of service, we do not assure/promise/guarantee or undertake to deliver a service as expected/desirable by a subscriber.
  • RecruitGuru cannot and does not guarantee correctness or up-to-datedness of any detail/information provided and/or posted by any subscriber or any jobseeker or any third-party data/information posted/uploaded by RecruitGuru on its own.

 

  RecruitGuru does not assume/accept responsibility or liability for any misleading/lying/fictitious/mischievous/incorrect/malicious/incomplete data/information posted/made available by subscribers and/or jobseekers. Users are solely and entirely responsible for the consequences of such information usage and unconditionally absolve RecruitGuru from any grievance/harm/loss/damage arising out of such usage or implications. This equally applies to any misstatement/misrepresentation of data that RecruitGuru may have carried out, especially in respect of:

  • Functional Exposure Profile
  • Career Progression Profile
  • Designation Profile
  • Salary Profile
  • Job Market Profile
  • etc. etc.

…and a host of similar profiles, involving jobseekers/subscribers etc. It is strictly up to the users to draw whatever conclusions/deductions/inferences they wish to arrive at, by use of such information/reports/representations/comparative profiles. Whether graphical or tabulated, or under no circumstances whatsoever, shall RecruitGuru be held responsible for any consequences, real or imaginary, arising out of such usage.

  Whereas RecruitGuru will not grant/permit access/usage of one subscriber’s private resume database to any other subscriber, through deployment of appropriate software-based firewalls/barriers, RecruitGuru cannot take any responsibility in this regard.

On its own, RecruitGuru will neither access nor use the private resume database of any subscriber except for the purpose of compiling various profiles such as functional exposure profiles, salary progression profiles, career progression profiles, population/key word profiles etc. Our software will use the relevant values from the resume database(s) of subscribers. At no time, however, will RecruitGuru link these extracted values to a given resume or a given name or a given job-description or any such/similar document.

  • RecruitGuru reserves the right to add/delete/modify/alter any of these conditions, without having to notify the users/subscribers.
  • RecruitGuru reserves the right to admit or not to admit any individual and/or corporate body as a subscriber of its webservice, if RecruitGuru feels, at its sole discretion, that this would go against its interest or against the larger interest of its other subscribers. If necessary, RecruitGuru is not required to provide an explanation of its decision not to admit a person/corporate body as its subscriber.
