You also represent and warrant that You have the right to grant or that the holder of any rights, including moral rights in such content, has completely and effectively waived all such rights and validly and irrevocably granted to You the right to grant, the license stated above. If you post User Content to AssociateLocator, You also permit any User to access, display, view, store and reproduce such User Content for personal use. Subject to the foregoing, the owner of such User Content placed on AssociateLocator retains any and all rights that may exist in such User Content.

AssociateLocator acts as a passive conduit for the online distribution and publication of User Content and has no obligation to screen User Content, communications or information in advance and is not responsible for screening or monitoring User Content posted by Users. However, White Bear may review and remove any User Content that, in its sole judgment, violates these Terms, violates applicable laws, rules or regulations, is abusive, disruptive, offensive or illegal, or violates the rights of, or harms or threatens the safety of, Users of AssociateLocator. White Bear reserves the right to expel Users and prevent their further access to AssociateLocator for violating the Terms or applicable laws, rules or regulations. White Bear may take any action with respect to User Content that it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion if it believes that such User Content could create liability for White Bear, damage AssociateLocator’s brand or public image, or cause AssociateLocator to lose (in whole or in part) the services of its ISPs or other suppliers. White Bear does not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of User Content or any other communications posted by Users or endorse any opinions expressed by Users. You acknowledge that any reliance on material posted by other Users will be at your own risk. The following is a partial list of User Content that is prohibited on AssociateLocator. The list below is for illustration only and is not a complete list of all prohibited User Content.

10. Policy Regarding Termination Of Users Who Repeatedly Infringe The Copyright Or Other Intellectual Property Rights Of Others.

White Bear respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our Users do the same. The unauthorized posting, reproduction, copying, distribution, modification, public display or public performance of copyrighted works constitutes infringement of the copyright owners rights. As a condition to your use of AssociateLocator, You agree not to use AssociateLocator to infringe the intellectual property rights of others in any way. We will terminate the accounts of any AssociateLocator Users, and block access to AssociateLocator of any Users who are repeat infringers of the copyrights, or other intellectual property rights, of others. We reserve the right to take these actions at any time, in our sole discretion, with or without notice, and without any liability to the User who is terminated or to the User whose access is blocked.

11. White Bear's Liability.

AssociateLocator acts as a venue for employers to post job opportunities and candidates to post resumes and White Bear does not screen or censor the listings. White Bear is not involved in the actual transaction between employers and candidates. As a result, White Bear has no control over User Content, the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or resumes posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates or the ability of candidates to fill job openings and White Bear makes no representations about any jobs, resumes or User Content on AssociateLocator. White Bear may take any action with respect to User Content that it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion if it believes that such User Content could create liability for White Bear, damage AssociateLocator’s brand or public image, or cause AssociateLocator to lose (in whole or in part) the services of its ISPs or other suppliers. While White Bear reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove User Content, job postings, resumes or other material from AssociateLocator from time to time, White Bear does not assume any obligation to do so and disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.

In addition, note that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretenses. You assume all risks associated with dealing with other Users with whom You come in contact through AssociateLocator. By its very nature, other people's information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. We expect that You will use caution and common sense when using AssociateLocator.

Because User authentication on the Internet is difficult, White Bear cannot and does not confirm that each User is who they claim to be. Because we do not and cannot be involved in User-to-User dealings or control the behavior of participants on AssociateLocator, in the event that You have a dispute with one or more Users, You release White Bear (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

If You are a California resident, You waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."

AssociateLocator and the AssociateLocator Content may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. White Bear makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of AssociateLocator or the Monster Content.

White Bear also does not promise that a job posting exists on AssociateLocator for every city that may be searched on AssociateLocator.

Since AssociateLocator is a career site, we give you a few options regarding the accessibility of your resume:

(a) You can either create a resume and elect to not make it searchable by potential employers or you may decide not to create a resume or elect to create a resume at a later time.

(c) You may also deicide to create a resume, but leave certain information omitted, such as your name or email address. It is perfectly acceptable omit one or both of these items. Of course, if you decide to omit your email address a potential employer will not be able to contact you about a position. (We suggest that you create an email address specifically for use with AssociateLocator. You may use any one of the many providers who offer free email accounts. You are of course welcome to use an email address you currently have, but be aware that you are making this address available to others.)

Regardless of which method you chose, you will have access to our job post database, complete with available legal positions and instructions on how to submit a resume.

We attempt to limit access to our searchable resume database only to legal employers, legal recruiters, firm hiring managers, legal headhunters, and firm human resource professionals, as well as law enforcement and national security agencies, but cannot guarantee that other parties will not gain access to this database. We are not responsible for the use made of resumes by third parties who access such resumes while they are in our searchable database. You may remove your resume on AssociateLocator at anytime, but, employers, recruiters and others who have access to the AssociateLocator resume database, as well as parties who have otherwise gained access may have retained a copy of your resume in their own files or databases. We are not responsible for the retention, use or privacy of resumes or profiles in these instances.
