​

Additionally, the terminology in section A. (i) (Terminology) of this Terms of Use document may be used in any section that follows section A. For example, section B. may refer to the organization “Edwards and Kennedy” as “the Company”.

 

B. Who is the Website available to? And who was it designed for?

​

This beautifully developed website has been made available for the express purpose of helping candidates looking for work and organizations seeking outstanding candidates to intersect by virtue of our mediation services. Therefore, it should be understood that those who are unable (by legal standards) to enter into a legally binding contract (minors) should not use the Website. 

 

We encourage you to check your local legislation to determine if you are eligible to enter into a legally binding agreement. It may be noted that it is generally the case that individuals under the age of 18 are not eligible, however, this may change depending on your jurisdiction. 

​

C. Receipt of user information through the Website

 

If you have submitted your personal information to us on the Website, there are several important conditions we would like you to be aware of.

 

When you send us your personal information you are granting us the right to share that information with organizations or individuals that we believe will help you achieve your objectives as determined by the form you complete on our website. It may be noted that the organizations and individuals that we may share your information with could be existing clients, and perhaps, only prospective clients. However, we are committed to your privacy, and will only divulge essential pieces of information you have provided to us for the purpose of helping you achieve the objectives for which we have been engaged. For example, if you submit a Candidate Application Form on the Website, the Company may share some of this personal information with an organization that we believe would be an appropriate match for your candidacy. Similarly, if you are an employer seeking workers (temporary or permanent), or engage our retained search services, the Company may share limited pieces of information that you have provided to us on the Employer Application Form with a qualified candidate about the job opening we are helping you to fill. 

 

The right that you have granted to the Company when you fill out any form on the Website is an unremitting right to use your information. In addition, you are granting us the right to internationally store and use this information for the exclusive purpose of helping you achieve your individual or company objectives that you have engaged the Company to help you achieve. The Company may also send you marketing materials about our services using some or all of the information we have received on the forms that you have submitted to us.

 

The right to use your information under which no royalties are generated is also granted to the Company when you submit your information to us.

 

If the Company believes the information submitted to us by you through any form on the Website is offensive, a gross misrepresentation of verifiable facts, is illegal, or doesn’t serve the Company’s interests, it may be deleted. 

 

In the event of a legal investigation under the auspices of the local, provincial, state or federal authorities, the Company may share legally obligatory information you have submitted to us (through any method) in order to comply with the Company’s legal responsibilities. 

 

It may be finally noted that the Company is not obligated to use your information that has been submitted to us. Although the Company is committed to helping all clients (organizational and candidates) achieve the objectives that we are engaged to help them achieve, no assurances can be given that your information will be used by the Company. However, if this is the case, we may in some circumstances reach out to you and explain why.  

 

D. Edwards & Kennedy accounts, and your personal login information

 

The Company may eventually enable users to create a login ID and password that will enable you to access specific features of the Website. Consequently, it will be the users responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of your login ID and password. Moreover, if you notice unusual activity on your account, have misplaced your password or login ID, it will be incumbent on you to notify the Company as soon as possible so they can take the appropriate measures.  

 

E. Important information for candidates

​

Although the Company may employ its resources to help candidates achieve employment through our services, we cannot guarantee that you will find employment. Secondarily, if you receive a job offer through a third party (a company that is not Edwards and Kennedy) we are not responsible for any actions, processes, or behaviors engaged by them toward you. For example, we bear no responsibility for job offers, interviews, accuracy of job offering, communications, methods of screening, work environment, decisions, or any other action exhibited by them toward you. It may be worth reiterating that we are a service that connects candidates with employers. Therefore, we bear no responsibility for the actions taken by employers against candidates at any point throughout our service to the candidate.  

 

F. Third party advertisements on the Website

 

The Company may have advertisements to another organization or company’s products or services on the Website through the usage of links, buttons, banners, and hyperlinks. An example of this may include an Amazon advertisement for a product that they are selling. The Company shall assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or information posted on any of these third party websites. In addition, it may also be noted that the Company does not have any association with these companies either.  
 

G. Edwards and Kennedy indemnification statement
