    Welcome to ProvenRecruiting.com (“Website”), which is owned, operated, and controlled by Proven Recruiting, Inc. (“Proven Recruiting,” “We,” or “Us”).

    These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern the use of the Website and any associated online products, platforms, applications, software, or services, (collectively, “Services”), by you or any entity you represent (“You” and “Your”).  In some instances, both these Terms and separate terms issued and/or offered by Proven Recruiting setting forth additional conditions may apply to specific Services offered (“Additional Terms”). To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless the Additional Terms expressly state otherwise.

    By visiting the Website or otherwise using the Services in any manner, You acknowledge, accept, and agree to be bound by these Terms, including the binding arbitration terms in Section 9, and any applicable Additional Terms. You also acknowledge, agree, and consent to our data practices with respect to personal information obtained through the Website or Services as more fully described in our Privacy Policy.

    By visiting the Website or otherwise using the Services, You represent and warrant that You, or any entity You own or control, or, if You are authorized to act on behalf  of an entity, the entity that owns or controls You, are not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties, including but not limited to lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. Government (including without limitation, the Specially Designated Nationals List and Foreign Sanctions Evaders List of the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Entity List of the U.S. Department of Commerce), the European Union or its Member States, or other applicable government authority, and not located in any country to which the United States has embargoed goods or has otherwise applied any sanctions.

These Terms do not affect Your mandatory statutory rights under applicable laws, to the extent that such rights apply to You and cannot be limited or excluded. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, DO NOT USE THE WEBSITE OR SERVICES.

Subject to the rights and licenses You grant Proven Recruiting under these Terms and subject to any applicable Additional Terms, You retain whatever legally identifiable right, title, and interest that you may have in your UGC, provided, however, that none of Your UGC contains any Content.
      • Non-Confidentiality of UGC. Except as otherwise described in our posted Privacy Policy or any applicable Additional Terms, You agree that (i) any UGC will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary by Proven Recruiting – regardless of whether you mark them “confidential,” “proprietary,” or the like, (ii) any UGC submitted will not be returned, and (iii) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Proven Recruiting does not assume any obligation of any kind to You or any third-party with respect to the UGC. Upon request, You will provide documentation necessary to authenticate rights to such content and verify Your compliance with these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms. You acknowledge that the Internet and mobile communications may not be secure and may be subject to breaches of security. Accordingly, You acknowledge and agree that UGC is submitted to Proven Recruiting at your own risk.
      • License to Proven Recruiting of UGC. Except as otherwise described in any applicable Additional Terms that specifically govern the submission of your UGC, You hereby grant Proven Recruiting, the non-exclusive, unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, and cost-free right and license to use, copy, record, distribute, reproduce, disclose, sell, re-sell, sublicense (through multiple levels), display, publicly perform, transmit, publish, broadcast, translate, make derivative works of, and otherwise use and exploit in any manner whatsoever, all or any portion of your UGC (and derivative works thereof), for any purpose whatsoever in all formats, on or through any means or medium now known or hereafter developed, and with any technology or devices now known or hereafter developed, and to advertise, market, and promote the same. Without limitation, the rights granted include the right to: (i) configure, host, index, cache, archive, store, digitize, compress, optimize, modify, reformat, edit, adapt, publish in searchable format, and remove such UGC and combine the same with other materials, and (ii) use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any UGC for any purposes whatsoever, including developing, producing, and marketing products and/or services. In exercising its rights hereunder, Proven Recruiting may remove or alter metadata, notices, and content, including copyright management information from the UGC. You consent to such alteration and/or removal and further represent and warrant that You have all necessary authority to do so. As permitted by applicable law, You grant Proven Recruiting the unconditional, perpetual, and irrevocable right to use and exploit Your name, persona, and likeness in connection with any UGC, without any obligation or remuneration to You. Except as prohibited by law, You waive any moral rights (including attribution and integrity) that you may have in any UGC, even if it is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to You. To the extent not waivable, You irrevocably agree not to exercise such moral rights (if any) in a manner that interferes with Proven Recruiting’s exercise of the granted rights. You understand that you will not receive any fees, sums, consideration, or remuneration for any of the rights granted in this Section 3.
      • Representations and Warranties Related to UGC. Each time you submit any UGC for use in the Services, You represent and warrant that (i) You are at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which You reside, (ii) You are the parent or legal guardian, or have all proper consents from the parent or legal guardian, of any minor who is depicted in or contributed to any UGC you submit, and (iii) as to all UGC, (a) You are the sole author and owner of all intellectual property and other rights in and to the UGC, (b) You have a lawful right or authority to submit the UGC and grant Proven Recruiting the rights under these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, without the need for Proven Recruiting to obtain consent of any third-party and without creating any other obligation or liability of Proven Recruiting; (c) the UGC is accurate; (d) the UGC does not and, as to Proven Recruiting’s permitted uses and exploitation set forth in these Terms, will not infringe any right of any third-party, including without limitation intellectual property rights, rights of publicity, and rights of privacy; and (e) the UGC will not violate these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms, or cause injury or harm to any person.
      • Proven Recruiting has no obligation to monitor or enforce any intellectual property rights to Your UGC, but You grant Proven Recruiting the right to protect and enforce its rights in and to Your UGC, including initiating actions in Your name and on Your behalf (at Proven Recruiting’s cost and expense, to which you hereby consent and irrevocably appoint Proven Recruiting as your attorney-in-fact, with the power of substitution and delegation, which appointment is coupled with an interest).
      • Your UGC. All UGC must either originate from You or You must obtain all necessary rights in and to it from third parties in order to permit Your compliance with these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms. Your UGC should not contain any visible logos, phrases, or trademarks that belong to third parties. Do not use any UGC that belongs to other people and pass it off as Your own; this includes any content that You might have found elsewhere on the Internet. If anyone contributes to your UGC or has any rights to Your UGC, or if anyone appears or is referenced in the UGC, then You must also have their permission to submit such UGC to Proven Recruiting. (For example, if someone has taken a picture of you and your friend, and you submit that photo to Proven Recruiting as your UGC, then you must obtain the permission of your friend and the photographer to do so).
      • Offensive Content. If You think your UGC might offend someone or be embarrassing to someone, then chances are it probably will, and it doesn’t belong on the Services. Cursing, harassing, stalking, insulting comments, personal attacks, gossip, and similar actions are prohibited. Your UGC must not threaten, abuse, or harm others, and it must not include any negative comments that are connected to race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or handicap. Your UGC must not be defamatory, slanderous, indecent, obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit. Your UGC must not exploit children under the age of 18. Without limitation, Proven Recruiting may, but does not commit to, address content as outlined in this Section 7 that comes to our attention that we believe is offensive, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, harassing, threatening, abusive, illegal or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate, or to enforce the rights of third parties or these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms.
      • Do Not Use for Inappropriate Purposes. Your UGC must not promote any infringing, illegal, or other similarly inappropriate activity.
      • Be Honest and Do Not Misrepresent Yourself or Your UGC. Do not impersonate any other individual, user, or company, and do not submit UGC that you believe may be false, fraudulent, deceptive, inaccurate, or misleading, or that misrepresents your identity or affiliation with a person or company. In the event you receive anything in consideration from Proven Recruiting with respect to your UGC (e.g., coupons, sweepstakes entries, etc.) You represent you will include disclosure of the receipt of this consideration clearly and conspicuously as part of the UGC and include any other disclosures we may require.
      • UGC Violations. If You submit UGC that Proven Recruiting reasonably believes violates these Terms, Proven Recruiting may take any legally available action that it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion. We may require, at any time, proof of the permissions referred to above in a form acceptable to us. Failure to provide such proof may lead to, among other things, removal from use of the Services.
    3. SERVICES AND CONTENT USE RESTRICTIONS.
      • Prohibited Use. You agree that you will not use the Services in a manner that is unlawful, offensive, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, threatening, harassing, or abusive; that violates any right of any third-party; or that is otherwise objectionable to Proven Recruiting.

      • Availability of Services and Content. Proven Recruiting, in its sole discretion without advance notice or liability, may immediately suspend or terminate the availability of the Services and/or Content (and any elements and features of them), in whole or in part, for any reason.
    4. CREATING AN ACCOUNT. To access or use some of the features on the Services, Proven Recruiting may require You to register and create an account through Proven Recruiting’s online registration process. The practices governing any collection, use, disclosure and/or management of any personal information provided during the account creation process are disclosed in the Privacy Policy. If you are under the age of majority in the state in which You reside, then You are not permitted to register, create an account, or otherwise use the Services or submit personal information to Proven Recruiting. If You register for any feature that requires a password and/or username, then You will select Your own password at the time of registration (or we may provide you a randomly generated initial password) and You agree to the following: (i) You will not use a username (or email address) that (a) is already being used by someone else, (b) attempts to impersonate another person, (c) belongs to another person, (d) violates the intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity, or (e) is offensive; (ii) Proven Recruiting may reject the use of any password, username, or email address for any reason in its sole discretion; (iii) You will provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself in connection with the registration process; (iv) You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under Your account, password, and username – whether or not You authorized the activity; (v) You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Your password and for restricting access to any personal Device so that others may not access any password protected portion of the Services using your name, username, or password; (vi) You will immediately notify Proven Recruiting of any unauthorized use of Your account, password, or username, or any other breach of security, but accept that Proven Recruiting is not responsible for thereafter stopping or preventing unauthorized use; and (vii) You will not sell, transfer, or assign Your account or any account rights.

We also reserve the more general and broad right, as permitted by applicable law, to terminate your account or suspend or otherwise deny Your access to it or its benefits – all in our sole discretion, for any reason, and without advance notice or liability.
    5. PROCEDURE FOR ALLEGING COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
      • DMCA Requirements. We are committed to complying with U.S. copyright and related intellectual property laws. Our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). It is our policy to remove and/or discontinue Services to repeat offenders. If any person or entity believes their copyrighted work has been copied and used on the Services in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, they may notify us by providing our copyright agent with the following information in accordance with the requirements of the DMCA:
      • The electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or the person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
      • A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed and a description of the infringing activity.
      • Identification of the location where the original or an authorized copy of the copyrighted work exists.
      • Identification of the URL or other specific location on the Services where the material you claim is infringing is located, and enough information to allow us to locate the material.
      • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address so that we may contact you.
      • A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

    Email: hello@provenrecruiting.com

    Phone: 1-888-244-0229

    • DMCA Counter-Notification. If access to the Services is disabled or the infringing work is removed as a result of a DMCA copyright infringement notice, and You believe in good faith that this was the result of mistake or misidentification, then You may submit a “Counter-Notification” to the email address listed above. The DMCA Counter-Notification should contain the following information:
      • a legend or subject line that says: “DMCA Counter-Notification”;
      • a description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (please include the full URL of the page(s) on the Services from which the material was removed or access to it disabled);

      • your full name, address, telephone number, email address, and the username of your account with us (if any);
      • a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if the address is located outside the U.S.A., to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided DMCA notification to us or an agent of such person; and
      • your electronic or physical signature.
    • Receipt of DMCA Counter-Notification. If Proven Recruiting receives a DMCA Counter-Notification, then Proven Recruiting may, in its sole discretion, reverse any action previously taken with respect to the related DMCA Notification. Upon receipt of a Counter-Notification that satisfies the requirements of DMCA, We will provide a copy of the Counter-Notification to the person who sent the original notification of claimed infringement and will follow the DMCA’s procedures regarding counter notification. All Counter-Notifications must satisfy the requirements of Section 512(g)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act. In all events, You expressly agree that neither Proven Recruiting nor its employees, officers, directors, or agents will be a party to any disputes or lawsuits regarding alleged copyright infringement. Please note You may be held liable for money damages if you materially misrepresent an activity is infringing your copyrights.
    1. NOTICES, QUESTIONS, AND CUSTOMER SERVICE.
      • Notices to You. You agree that we may give you notices or otherwise respond to You by mail or to Your email (if we have it on file) or in any other manner reasonably elected by us.

    2. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS; TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS. We strive to accurately describe our products or services offered on the Services; however, we do not warrant that such specifications or other content on the Services are complete, accurate, reliable, current, or error-free.
    3. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, AND COLLECTIVE ARBITRATION WAIVERS.
      • YOU AND Proven Recruiting AGREE TO ARBITRATE – RATHER THAN LITIGATE – any and all claims, disputes, or controversies between you and Proven Recruiting, including any parents, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, or agents of Proven Recruiting, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, or any other intentional tort) or other legal or equitable theory (collectively “Disputes”) that arise out of or in any way relate to these Terms, any of the Services provided hereunder or any other services or products that Proven Recruiting may offer or provide to You in connection with these Terms (including without limitation amounts that Proven Recruiting charges You for services or products provided, any alleged breach related to the collection, retention or disclosure of your personal information, and any alleged violation of our Privacy Policy. The term “Dispute” means any and all past, present or future disputes, claims or controversies between You and Proven Recruiting, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, without limitation, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence or any other intentional tort) or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes, without limitation, any such disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to the validity, enforceability, interpretation and/or scope of this dispute resolution agreement, provided, however, that the term “Dispute” does not include any such disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to the validity, enforceability, interpretation and/or scope of the Class Action, Class Action Arbitration and Collective Arbitration Waivers set forth in Section 9.2 below, or whether claims to resolve any Disputes must proceed solely on an individual basis, all of which shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by an arbitrator. With that sole exception which shall be broadly construed, the term “Dispute” shall be given the broadest possible meaning. You and Proven Recruiting also agree to arbitrate any and all Disputes that arise out of or relate in any way to any services or products provided to You by Proven Recruiting under any other agreement. Notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, You and Proven Recruiting may bring appropriate Disputes against each other in small claims court, if the Dispute falls within the small claims court’s jurisdiction.
      • Class or Collective Arbitration; Class Action Waiver; Collective Arbitration Waiver. You agree that all Disputes between you and Proven Recruiting will be arbitrated individually, and that there will be no class, collective, coordinated representative, or consolidated actions in arbitration (“Class or Collective Arbitration” as more fully defined below). You further agree that any action or agreement by You to bring claims or to participate in any claims related to a Dispute in a Class or Collective Arbitration is contrary to these Terms. A Class or Collective Arbitration shall include, but is not limited to, any claim (i) to resolve a Dispute involving two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration filed by or on behalf of one or more claimants; (ii) which involves common questions of law or fact; (iii) which involves an agreement to cooperate or coordinate the arbitration demands being asserted against the same defendant(s); and (iv) is initiated at or near the same time. You agree that this Class Action Waiver and Collective Arbitration Waiver shall be binding in any arbitral proceeding. No arbitrator shall have the authority to consolidate, join, or allow the coordination of more than one (1) person’s claims or to preside over a class, collective, mass, or representative proceeding in any form. No arbitrator shall have the authority to determine the enforceability of this Section 2. If you or Proven Recruiting brings a claim in small claims court, the Class Action Waiver will apply, and neither of us can bring a claim on a class or representative basis. Furthermore, neither you nor Proven Recruiting may participate in a class or representative action as a class member if the class action asserts Disputes that would fall within the scope of this arbitration agreement if they were directly asserted by you or Proven Recruiting. Both parties agree that this Class Action Waiver is an essential part of this arbitration agreement and that if this Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable by any court, then the entire arbitration agreement set forth in this Section 9 will not apply to any Disputes between you and Proven Recruiting except for the provisions of Section 9.6 waiving the right to a jury trial. This Class Action and Collective Arbitration Waiver may not be severed from our arbitration agreement.
      • Arbitrator Authority. The arbitration between you and Proven Recruiting will be binding. In arbitration, there is no judge and no jury. Instead, our disputes will be resolved by an arbitrator, whose authority is governed by these Terms. You and Proven Recruiting agree that an arbitrator may only award such relief as a court of competent jurisdiction could award, limited to the same extent as a court would limit relief pursuant to these Terms. An arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs if a court would be authorized to do so and may issue injunctive or declaratory relief if that relief is required or authorized by the applicable law, but that injunctive or declaratory relief may not extend beyond you and your dealings with Proven Recruiting. Review of arbitration decisions in the courts is very limited.
      • Informal Dispute Resolution. You and Proven Recruiting agree that you will try to resolve disputes informally before resorting to arbitration. If you have a dispute, first contact Proven Recruiting here: hello@provenrecruiting.com If an Proven Recruiting representative is unable to resolve your dispute in a timely manner, you agree to then notify Proven Recruiting of the dispute by sending a written description of your claim to Proven Recruiting at hello@provenrecruiting.com so that Proven Recruiting can attempt to resolve it with You. If Proven Recruiting does not satisfactorily resolve Your claim within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving written notice to Proven Recruiting of your claim, then you may pursue the claim in arbitration. Neither You nor Proven Recruiting may initiate arbitration without first following the informal dispute resolution procedure provided in this paragraph and thereafter, if the dispute is still not resolved, the party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other written notice of the intent to file for arbitration. If You are sending a written notice of your intent to file for arbitration to Proven Recruiting, please send such notice via U.S. mail to Proven Recruiting, 10680 Treena Street, #530, San Diego, CA 92131. If Proven Recruiting is sending You a written notice of our intent to file for arbitration, we will send it to the last known address of record we have on file for You.
      • Arbitration Procedures. You and Proven Recruiting agree that these Terms and the Services Proven Recruiting provides to you affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, and not state arbitration laws, applies for all Disputes. All arbitrations shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The AAA’s rules are available on its website at adr.orgor by calling 1-800-778-7879. If the claim asserted in arbitration is for less than $75,000, the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply. If the claim asserted is for $75,000 or more, the Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. If there is a conflict between the AAA’s rules and this dispute resolution agreement, this dispute resolution agreement shall control. To initiate arbitration, You must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing Your claims to Proven Recruiting at hello@provenrecruiting.com or via U.S. mail to Proven Recruiting, 10680 Treena Street, #530, San Diego, CA 92131. You must also comply with the AAA’s rules regarding initiation of arbitration.
      • Jury Trial Waiver. If for any reason this arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, You and Proven Recruiting expressly and knowingly WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.This means that a Judge rather than a Jury will decide disputes between You and Proven Recruiting if, for any reason, the arbitration agreement is not enforced.
