Agreement, Amendment, and Assignment
THIS AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED BELOW) DESCRIBES THE TERMS BY WHICH BulletHire ("BulletHire" or "we") OFFERS YOU ACCESS TO THE SERVICE. BY EXECUTING A LICENCE WITH BulletHire, AND BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE THEREAFTER, YOU ACCEPT THE AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY EACH OF ITS TERMS.
As used herein, the term "Agreement" means the Terms & Conditions, the Privacy Statement, as well as all other terms, conditions, and rules that may be published or displayed from time to time by BulletHire on this Web site or at any other link designated in the Terms & Conditions, including each amendment, alteration, modification, or supplementation of any and all of the foregoing, and including any executed License Agreement that exists between BulletHire and the User. All of the foregoing are incorporated herein by reference. The terms of the Agreement apply to your use of the Service (as defined below). All amendments are effective 10 days after posting on our site. Your access to or use of the Service on or after such effective date constitutes acceptance of the amendments. The Terms & Conditions applies to all parties equally and may not be amended. YOU SHOULD READ THIS AGREEMENT EACH TIME YOU USE THE SERVICE. See the end of this document for the date of the last revision.
As used in the Terms & Conditions, "User," "User," or "you" shall jointly and severally refer to the individual completing the License Agreement and the organization indicated on the License Agreement (collectively “User”), unless the context indicates clearly that all Users, including you, are the subject of the reference, and also to any person visiting with access temporary, gratis or as part of any License. As used herein a "User" is a person or entity that has usage privileges on the Website; a User is also any visitor to our Web Site, including those who have not registered for Licenses.
By completing the Terms & Conditions, and by accessing or using the Service thereafter, you represent and warrant to BulletHire and each of the other Users of the Website that the individual taking such actions has the authority to enter into the Agreement on behalf of the organization that he or she indicates that he or she represents, that each person is designated a representative on the Terms & Conditions on behalf of such organization has the authority to do so, that the Agreement and each business transaction to which such organization becomes a party is binding and enforceable against such organization, that such organization will have the ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement and that the representations and warranties set forth in the Terms & Conditions attributed to you are true and correct as to such individual and such organization. All Users of the Website are intended third party beneficiaries of the foregoing representations and the agreements set forth in the Agreement, and each User acknowledges that each other User is relying upon such representations and agreements.
Subject to the terms and conditions in the License Agreement, BulletHire hereby grants to you a nontransferable, nonexclusive license to access and use the Service solely for use by the User in accordance with the Agreement. We may in our sole discretion add, delete, or change some or all the services included within the Service at any time.
Without limiting the foregoing or expanding any of your rights hereunder, you agree that you will not republish, reproduce, or distribute any of the information available through the Web site of BulletHire or any e-mail or other communication by or between Users, BulletHire, and/or any other User, or make any use of any such information or the facilities of BulletHire that would allow a third party to have access to or the benefits of the Service.
In addition, you agree to pay the fees and costs for the use of the Service in accordance with and to the extent provided in the License Agreement Fee Statement, which is incorporated herein by reference, which may be amended from time to time and will be effective seven (7) days after posting on our Web Site or otherwise as noted in the Fee Statement. You are responsible for paying all applicable taxes and for all hardware, software, service and other costs you incur to bid, list, post, buy, or sell or otherwise use the Service. Moreover, you shall be responsible for providing and maintaining all communications lines, telephone/transmission services, and all equipment and technology necessary for you to access and use the Service.
The Website is a venue for exchanging information pertaining to resume submission and other human resources functions. We post information provided to us by Users in an effort to enable our Users to conclude human resources sourcing and hiring activities, if they so choose, with applicants and other parties; we do not verify to anyone that the information provided to us is accurate or that the Website of information and terms between Users via our Web site will create any legally binding contracts between or among Users. We do not act as a buyer, seller, or hold title to any product.
Thus, you and each other User acknowledge and agree that BulletHire does not guarantee or become responsible for any obligation arising out of any User resume submission or other human resources transaction or provide any assurance that any User employee hiring or other arrangement ultimately will be concluded.
User Indemnity
You acknowledge and agree that BulletHire has no control over (or liability for) the quality, safety, or legality of the postings listed, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of others to represent or make application or other human resources arrangement, or the performance by any User of any obligation (including the completion of any sourcing or hiring transaction). You and each other User assumes responsibility for, and acknowledge and agree that BulletHire has no responsibility for and indemnifies and holds harmless BulletHire from and against any Loss in any way relating to:
a.
negotiating,
documenting, and concluding all User job applications or other human resources
actions to which you and another party may enter to in a form that will be
enforceable in any jurisdiction that may be relevant to the actions contemplated
by the User Arrangements;

services;
f.
any
information supplied by or through you or any application or actions to which
you are a party and any misuse of information by you; and
g.
your
violation of the Agreement.
Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, BulletHire cannot and does not confirm that each User is who they claim to be. Therefore, BulletHire encourages you to be careful in dealing with others to avoid fraud, and to perform such verifications and checks as you deem necessary to evaluate with whom you are dealing when the identity of your potential trading partner is revealed during the course of a transaction.

Without attempting to exhaust all of the grounds for cancellation or limiting BulletHire's ability to cancel Terms & Conditions with or without cause, we will cancel the Agreement of a User who has violated certain operating principles including, but not limited to, posting false advertisements, providing BulletHire with erroneous User information, and repeatedly not acting in good faith to complete actions made through the Website.

Cancellation or termination shall not limit any liability that the User may otherwise have to other Users or to BulletHire.
In the case of any termination, you acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the Terms & Conditions, which shall remain in full force and effect after such termination, except that the License to use the Service shall be terminated and you shall have no further obligation to pay for the use of the Service other than those obligations which accrued upon or before such termination (as determined in accordance with our Fee Statement).
