Below is the updated Job Seeker Terms of Use that will take effect on December 27, 2019. By using our services on or after that date, you’ll be agreeing to these revisions.
If you have any questions or concerns about our handling of your personal information, you may contact our privacy officer at security@ezhire.co
EZHire provides online services through which individuals seeking employment can efficiently and effectively interview with employers and staffing companies seeking to hire employees and independent contractors. EZHire provides these services through its Applications and Website subject to these terms of use (“Terms of Use”) and the agreements incorporated herein.
Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our accompanying Privacy and Security Policy to provide important disclosures about how your information will be used by EZHire in providing you EZHire Services. These Terms of Use expressly incorporate our Privacy and Security Policy.
Please read these Terms of Use and our Privacy and Security Policy carefully before using any of the diverse EZHire Services. By visiting the Website, installing any of the Apps, and/or using any of the EZHire Services, you shall have affirmed your agreement to these Terms of Use.
2.1. Because the Internet remains a dynamic communications forum and the law on Internet and online commerce remains just as dynamic, You understand that EZHire may alter, amend, change, waive, terminate or modify any term contained within its Terms of Use at any time.
2.2. Should EZHire alter, amend, change, waive, terminate or modify any term contained within these Terms of Use, it shall provide notice by:
A. the new Terms of Use to the Website, particularly
B. Sending you electronic mail to the email address you provided when creating your account (where available and applicable) or other means pursuant to these Terms of Use; and/or
C. As otherwise required by law.
2.3. If we inform you that the Terms of Use have been modified, you may elect to terminate use of any of the EZHire Services subject to these Terms of Use (particularly, there are no refunds).
2.4. If you continue to use any of the EZHire Services after receiving notice that these Terms of Use have been modified, any continued use shall constitute acceptance of the modified Terms of Use and be subject to them.
2.5. We may ask that you acknowledge your agreement to any modified Terms of Use. However, even if we do not do so, your continued use of EZHire Services will be subject to the modified terms.
2.6. You agree to review these Terms of Use and the incorporated documents periodically to be updated of any such changes.
2.7. The act of placing a web page (URL) into a temporary file on your browser so that you may return to that page at a future date directly without passing through certain preceding pages (“bookmarking”) may under certain circumstances cause you to bypass links to these Terms of Use. Should you use such bookmarks and skip links to modified Terms of Use, your continued use still constitutes acceptance of these Terms of Use.
3.1. EZHire provides Internet based services through which individuals seeking employment can efficiently and effectively interview with employers and staffing companies seeking to hire fulltime and contract employees.
3.2. EZHire provides EZHire Services through its Apps and Website, and all other suites of features, products and services offered through EZHire from time to time.
3.3. EZHire will not sell any customer or consumer content or information to any third party.
3.4. Video Content and Services.
EZHire provides its EZHire Customers a variety of video options and tools to use in association with the EZHire Services.
If you choose to use your webcam and microphone through EZHire Services for audio and video communications, you authorize EZHire to allow others to see and hear you through the audio and video obtained through these devices. You also authorize EZHire to record and store such information on its servers in your Account.
EZHire will not use your recorded content for any purpose unrelated to your Account. Of course, any individuals to whom you display such content will be able to hear and see such content.
Apart from those to whom you authorize access. EZHire will not share or provide access to your content to any third party absent a subpoena or court order. And, should EZHire ever be subpoenaed for content associated with your Account, EZHire shall provide you notice and an opportunity to file a motion objecting to any disclosure.
Given you will be using EZHire Services for employment related purposes, you agree not to use any content or information obtained in violation of any applicable laws. EZHire cannot advise you or provide you guidance on these laws.
Job Seekers are expressly prohibited from creating their own recordings of Video Interviews. EZHire employs reasonable measures to prevent any unauthorized recording of Video Interviews.
EZHire may add additional types of video content from time to time.
3.5. No Guarantees of Employment
EZHire is not an employment agency. EZHire does not make any representations as to the qualifications of any individual, entity or employer.
Additionally, where an individual, entity, group or employer successfully secures employment, EZHire makes no guarantees or representations as to the satisfaction of such employment.
Additionally, EZHire does not guarantee that any individual or entity will find employment or an employee through EZHire Services.
3.6 Deletion of Content. Except as provided elsewhere in these Terms of Use, all Customer Content and Video Content will no longer be accessible to you upon deletion or termination of your Account.
Where a Job Seeker requests that any video interviews and/or related information be deleted pursuant to these Terms, our Privacy and Security Policy, and/or pursuant to governing law (e.g. the GDPR), EZHire, as the processor of data for employers and/or staffing companies (the data controllers), will send the employers and/or staffing companies the request to approve or deny. We do this for a number of reasons. To begin with, the employer and/or staffing company controls the data EZHire processes on its behalf. Although you may provide information through our EZHire Services, you do so at the invitation of an employer and/or staffing company. Moreover, the employer and/or staffing company may be subject to laws that require retention of certain information. Finally, for purposes here, the primary relationship governing the content and data exists between you and the respective employer and/or staffing company. If the employer and/or staffing company approves the request, we shall comply with the request. If the data controller denies the request, we shall inform the Job Seeker and provide information on how to proceed further with the employer and/or staffing company.
Where an employer or staffing customer deletes its account, your content and/or data accessible to and/or stored with the account for such employer or staffing customer may be deleted. The employer and/or staffing customer retains the right to delete such content and data without notice to you.
3.7. Changes to Service. EZHire reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, whether temporarily or permanently, any aspect of the EZHire Services, in whole or in part. Any modifications to any of the EZHire Services, including the releases of new features, tools or resources, shall be subject to these Terms of Use and incorporated policies. Sometimes, updates to EZHire’s Software and/or code may require your computer to install additional third party software. EZHire will provide you with notice of any major changes or modifications in the same manner as described in Section 2. Absence of any notice beyond changes in the EZHire Services shall not affect the enforceability of these Terms of Use.
At present, EZHire provides EZHire Services to Job Seeker Customers on a complimentary basis at no charge (EZHire does bill its Employer Customers and Staffing Customers). EZHire foresees continuing this policy for the foreseeable future. However, EZHire reserves the right to change its policy and pricing for any of the EZHire Services at any time. Should EZHire change any pricing, EZHire shall provide its existing EZHire Customers with at least thirty (30) days’ notice consistent with Section 17.17.
5.1. Lawful Purposes. EZHire Services shall be used for lawful purposes only.
5.2. Accurate Information. You agree to provide EZHire with true, accurate and current information as requested when registering for EZHire Services and/or purchasing products from EZHire.
5.3. At time of registration, you must provide certain information that identifies you to other EZHire Customers. In doing so, you may not violate a third party’s intellectual property rights or use names that happen to be offensive or inappropriate.
5.4. You shall be solely and entirely responsible for any and all use of the EZHire Services through your Account. Consequently, we recommend and require that:
A. You not permit any other person to use your EZHire Account;
B. You do not assign or transfer your Account or its login information to any other person or entity; and,

EZHire does not endorse any Customer Content made available via EZHire Services. EZHire reserves the right, but not the obligation, to delete posts and/or Content that it believes, in its sole discretion, violate these Terms of Use. However, the failure of EZHire to delete any post and/or Content does not constitute an endorsement of it.
EZHire is not responsible for any false, defamatory, libelous, or slanderous Content posted by its EZHire Customers. If you believe any Content violates your rights or those of a third party in any way, you may contact EZHire via report@EZHire.co.
EZHire Services and any necessary software used in connection with the EZHire Services (“Software”) contain proprietary and confidential information protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws. EZHire or its licensor holds all rights, title and interest in all Software and all intellectual property, including other rights related to intangible property, unless otherwise indicated. No title or interest in such intellectual property rights is being transferred to you and you agree to make no claim of interest in any such Software. Except as expressly authorized by EZHire or our advertisers, you agree not to modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute or create derivative works based on the Software, in whole or in part.
7.2 Copyright.
EZHire shall possess and retain all copyrights to content created by EZHire (“EZHire Content”). EZHire may use content obtained from third party sources. All rights to such third party content remains with the owners of such third party content.
You do not have any interest in any Video Interviews in which you participate. All copyrights in Customer Content shall remain with the applicable owners of such copyrights.
By using EZHire Services, you provide EZHire a license to use your Customer Content and Video Content for purposes of providing EZHire Services. You may link to our Website from your own websites and other third party websites, so long as you do so in accordance with these Terms of Use. However, you may not frame any elements of EZHire Services within any other website.
Your use of any third party software or content obtained through the EZHire Services does not transfer to you any rights, title or interest in or to the third party software or content. Further, you agree that you shall not use any third party software or content made available to you through the EZHire Services except as expressly authorized under the applicable third party provider’s terms of use or license, which are incorporated by reference herein for the benefit of such third party providers. If you do not agree to the third party providers’ terms of use or license agreement, do not download or use the third party software or content.
7.3. Trademarks
You agree to not use EZHire Trademarks or any mark that is confusingly similar to such trademarks. Nothing on or through the EZHire Services should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to use any of EZHire Trademarks. EZHire reserves the right to restrict the use of its name, system, logo, and trademarks. You agree to comply with any and all such restrictions.
7.4. Destruction of Materials. Should you violate these terms regarding intellectual property, you must delete any materials obtained in violation of these Terms of Use immediately upon notice or upon realizing possession of such materials violate these Terms of Use, whichever is earlier.
7.5. Limited License. All EZHire Content is the proprietary property of EZHire and/or its licensors, with all rights reserved. No EZHire Content may be modified, copied, distributed, framed, reproduced, republished, downloaded, scraped, displayed, posted, transmitted, or sold in any form or by any means, in whole or in part, without EZHire’s prior written permission. Provided that you are eligible for use of EZHire Services and retain all copyright or other proprietary notices intact, you are granted a limited license to access and use the EZHire Services and the EZHire Content, including a limited license to download or print a copy of any portion of the EZHire Content to which you have properly gained access solely for your use in relation to the EZHire Services. You may not upload or republish EZHire Content on any Internet, Intranet or Extranet site or incorporate the information in any other database or compilation. This limited license is subject to these Terms of Use and does not permit use of any data mining, robots, scraping or similar data gathering or extraction methods. Any use of the EZHire Services or EZHire Content without the prior written permission of EZHire, other than as specifically authorized herein, is strictly prohibited and shall immediately terminate the license granted herein. Such unauthorized use may also violate applicable laws including copyright and trademark laws and applicable communications regulations and statutes. Unless explicitly stated herein, nothing in these Terms of Use shall be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. This license is revocable at any time without notice and with or without cause.
7.6. Unauthorized Access or Circumvention. As stated above, EZHire takes the privacy of its EZHire Customers very seriously. In this context, it also takes seriously any effort to circumvent the technology it has implemented to protect the privacy and the security of information on its servers. Should any person attempt to obtain or obtain unauthorized access to EZHire servers and/or should any EZHire Customer attempt to exceed or exceed his/her/its authorized access to EZHire servers, EZHire shall consider such conduct to violate the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030, which provides for civil and criminal penalties. Additionally, depending on the circumstances, such conduct could also violate the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2510, et eq. and the Stored Communications Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2701, et seq., both of which also provide for civil and criminal penalties. EZHire considers the unauthorized access to and/or download of any Video Content fall within the scope of this prohibited conduct. Moreover, EZHire shall consider any approval or knowledge of a third party’s efforts to engage in the foregoing prohibited conduct as willful cooperation in such conduct.
7.7 Job Seeker Content and Information
EZHire does not own any job seeker content or information. The ownership of this content and information can vary depending on circumstances. Indeed, the laws related to privacy of consumer information often intersect and overlap with those relating to the privacy and ownership of employee information. In particular, the GDPR provides EU consumers with certain rights related to their personal information. At the same time, employers possess rights and obligations to retain certain employee and job candidate information. Should EZHire receive any request relating to job seeker content and information from that job seeker, EZHire will forward the request to the employer or staffing company to process. Absent a court order or clear indication of applicable law, EZHire will thereafter defer to and comply with the employer or staffing company direction. In so doing, however, EZHire reserves the right to fully inform any job seeker of their respective rights and how to address such a dispute.
8.1. EZHire respects the intellectual property rights of others and prohibits anyone from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting through EZHire Services any materials that violate another party’s intellectual property rights. When EZHire receives proper Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement as described herein, it promptly removes or disables access to the allegedly infringing material and terminates the accounts associated therewith as described herein in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”).
8.2. If you believe that any material on or through the EZHire Services infringes upon any copyright which you own or control, you may send a written Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement to our designated DMCA Agent identified below.
