Cusma Group General Terms of Service
Last Updated: March 21, 2022
- Terms of Service for Job Seekers
- Job Ads or Job Listings
Cusma Group may make available Job Ads advertising employment opportunities and other job-related content, including links to third-party websites (“Job Listings” or “Job Ads”), through Cusma Group’s search results or otherwise through the Site. Searching for Job Ads on Cusma Group is free for Job Seekers. Job Ads are created and provided by third parties over whom Cusma Group exercises no control; you acknowledge and understand that Cusma Group has no control over the content of Job Ads, links to or from Job Ads, or any conditions third parties might impose once a Job Seeker has submitted an application or left the Site. For example, some of these third parties may attempt to charge Job Seekers a fee to apply to a particular job, although Cusma Group endeavors not to make such Job Ads available on the Site. If you leave the Cusma Group Site and choose to enter a third-party website, you accept any terms and conditions imposed by that third-party. Employer websites may have conversion trackers or use APIs and other functionality provided by Cusma Group, which informs us that an application has been completed on an Employer site. An Employer who installs such functionality is required under this Agreement to provide any notice, and obtain any prior consent, that may be required by applicable law. However, you acknowledge and agree that Cusma Group has no control over such an Employer or its website. You agree to Cusma Group’s use of, and receipt of information from, any such conversion tracker functionality. Except for sponsored, featured or paid placements, the Job Ads contained on, or linked from, the Site are indexed or posted in an automated manner. Cusma Group has no obligation to screen any Job Ads, or to include any Job Ads, in its search results or other listings, and may exclude or remove any Job Ads from the Site or your search result without any obligation to provide reasoning for removal or exclusion. You understand and agree that Cusma Group has no obligation to present you with any or all Job Ads. We cannot confirm the accuracy or completeness of any Job Ad or other information submitted by any Employer or other user, including the identity of such Employer or other user. Cusma Group assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any Job Ads, Company Pages, screener questions and responses, and assessments. Additionally, Cusma Group may provide search options to narrow down Job Ads search results by job type categories (i.e. full-time, part-time, etc.), and such categories are created independently and entirely by Cusma Group, and may not directly or accurately reflect the content of the Job Ads. Cusma Group may reformat Job Listings so that you may read them more clearly on a mobile phone. Placement of a Job Ad on a certain page (for example, on Cusma Group Gigs) is not a representation regarding the nature of the role for legal purposes. While Cusma Group may in some circumstances be compensated by employers who post Job Ads, helping keep Cusma Group job search free for Job Seekers, all Job Ads are considered advertising. Cusma Group displays Job Ads based on a combination of compensation paid by employers to Cusma Group and relevance, such as search terms, and other information provided and activities conducted on Cusma Group. You are not permitted to use Cusma Group’s Site or its content other than for non-commercial purposes. For purposes of this Section A of the Cusma Group General Terms of Service, all references to “you” or “your” shall mean you, the individual or organization accessing this Site in your capacity as a Job Seeker. Cusma Group may provide functionality to call a telephone number contained in a Job Ad using the phone app on a mobile device. Cusma Group cannot guarantee that the extracted phone number is the correct phone number for the Employer or for the Job Ad you are viewing.
- Resumes, Profile, and Recommended Jobs
By creating a public resume through the Site (“Cusma Group Resume”) or uploading a file resume on the Site (collectively, “Your Resume” or “Job Seeker Resume”), you are requesting and authorizing Cusma Group to make available Your Resume to third parties, such as Employers, that Cusma Group believes may have an interest in Your Resume. If you do not want Cusma Group to make available Your Resume to third parties or if you do not want Employers to contact you, set your Cusma Group Resume and uploaded file resume to private. Setting Your Resume to private will not affect your previous applications or prevent employers you responded to from contacting you. You can read more about resume privacy here.
By creating an Cusma Group Resume or uploading a file resume on Cusma Group, Cusma Group may share with you Job Ads that match the contents of Your Resume. Cusma Group may also highlight to you items in Your Resume that may match qualifications from the Job Ad, or highlight to you items that appear in the Job Ad and may be missing from Your Resume. These highlights do not mean you are or are not qualified for the job or that you should or should not apply for it. Applying for such Job Ads does not guarantee job interviews or hiring. Even where Cusma Group highlights items or a Job Ad is shared with you, Cusma Group assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of Job Ads or highlights. By creating or uploading Your Resume, you are requesting and authorizing Cusma Group, or an Cusma Group vendor, to review or scan Your Resume and provide you feedback (in Cusma Group’s discretion), including suggested changes. Cusma Group assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability for any changes you make based on any provided feedback. Cusma Group assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability for the resume or application information you post, send or receive through the Site. By uploading a file resume on the Site, you agree that Cusma Group may convert your file resume to a different file type. It is your responsibility to review Your Resume to ensure that the content appears as you intend, and that it contains the right information or any information you intend to include or update. If you see any inaccuracy in any such material, it is your responsibility to correct such information or to contact Cusma Group to do so. It may take a few days for updates to your account or resume to be reflected. To mitigate fraud, Cusma Group may mask or hide your contact information, for example, we may mask or hide your email address and/or phone number, from Your Resume or application, and may substitute it with an alias. Cusma Group makes no promise to you about whether all or part of your contact info will be masked or hidden, and the decision to mask or hide such info is in Cusma Group’s sole discretion. Cusma Group reserves the right to limit your ability to set Your Resume to public, and may toggle a public resume to private, at any time, to prevent illegal conduct, for fraud mitigation, or for any other reason in Cusma Group’s discretion. Cusma Group makes no guarantee that Your Resume will be shown to any particular Employer or that any portion of the Cusma Group Resume database will be available to an Employer at any particular time.
If you have an Cusma Group account, an Cusma Group Resume, or an uploaded file resume, you agree that Cusma Group may associate Your Resume data with your profile on Cusma Group (“Cusma Group Profile”). Your Cusma Group Profile consists of information you provide on the Site in the “Profile” section of your account. This includes your Cusma Group Resume, your scores on any Cusma Group Assessments you may have taken and any information that you choose to include, such as your desired job title, job types, work schedule, whether you are ready to work, or pay. Information in your Cusma Group Profile, except as otherwise indicated on the Site, may be available to third parties, such as Employers. If you do not want Cusma Group to make your Cusma Group Profile available to third parties or if you do not want Employers to contact you, set your Cusma Group Resume and uploaded file resume to private or remove Your Resume. Your response to an Cusma Group Assessment will be associated with your Cusma Group Profile. You may choose whether your Cusma Group Assessment response is available to Employers viewing your Cusma Group Profile. You can enable the ready to work feature on your profile to let Employers know that you can start work immediately. Cusma Group may disable that feature from your profile after a certain time, but you can manually enable it again.
Cusma Group may also automatically send you recommended jobs via the email address you use to create an Cusma Group account or apply to a job. Cusma Group may determine what these recommended jobs are on the basis of a variety of factors, including but not limited to, any information you input on the Site about yourself (including in Your Resume and Cusma Group Profile), searches you run on the Site, jobs you click on, jobs you apply to, or the materials you provide in a job application to an Employer through Cusma Group.
- Applying to Jobs Through Cusma Group
Any resume or application information that you submit through the Site, including Personal Data included in a resume, application or responses to screener questions and assessments (“Cusma Group Apply”), is subject to this Agreement (including Section D.3.) and to Cusma Group’s Privacy Policy. Prior to submitting an application, you acknowledge that you are responsible for reviewing and confirming that you are applying to your desired Employer. Once you provide information to an Employer (whether in the form of a job application, resume, email, or otherwise), Cusma Group does not have control over the Employer’s use or disclosure of that information. If you want to request the Employer delete, modify, or maintain confidence over any such information, you must make such a request directly to the Employer. (All references on the Site to “Apply Now”, “Easily Apply”, “Simple Apply”, “Apply from your phone”, “Apply with Cusma Group”, “RSVP to hiring event” or any similar references mean “Cusma Group Apply.”) Cusma Group may use your application materials to determine whether you may be interested in a Job Listing, and Cusma Group may reach out to you about such Job Listing. Cusma Group may store such information regardless of whether a Job Listing has been closed or is no longer available on the Site. To maintain the quality of the Site and Services, Cusma Group in its sole discretion may impose limits on your ability to apply to Job Listings or to other Cusma Group services. In addition, when you indicate your interest in a Job Listing through Cusma Group Apply or by RSVPing to a hiring event you are sending your resume and application information to Cusma Group, and you are requesting and authorizing Cusma Group to make available such application information to the applicable Employer(s) for such Job Listing(s). When you ask Cusma Group to transmit an application or a message, including, but not limited to, a signed offer letter, to an Employer via Cusma Group Apply or Cusma Group’s relay system, or store such application, you understand that this is without warranty, and that Cusma Group reserves the right to reformat such application or message.
You acknowledge and agree that Employers may request that Cusma Group assemble your application materials, resume, answers to screener questions, assessment responses and other information you provide to Cusma Group into one document, and you agree that in doing so, Cusma Group assembles these application materials on your behalf. When you apply for a job on Cusma Group you agree to Cusma Group’s performance of automated processing in relation to your application, as such processing is an essential part of this Agreement. Additionally, you consent to your application and any responses sent to you by the Employer (including offer letters) through Cusma Group being processed and analyzed by Cusma Group according to this Agreement and Cusma Group’s Privacy Policy.
When you apply to a job using Cusma Group Apply, Cusma Group will attempt to send your application to the contact information provided to us by an Employer or their Agent, which may include sending your application to an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) selected by the Employer. We cannot guarantee that such messages and applications will be delivered, received, accessed, read or acted upon. Cusma Group also does not guarantee that any Employer will receive, be notified about, access, read or respond to any such resume or other application material, or that there will be no mistakes in the transmission or storage of the data. Further, Cusma Group does not guarantee that the interface will be error-free. However, Cusma Group may alert you when any of the above events occur. Please note that Job Ads may expire between the time you submit your application and from the time it is received. Cusma Group has no responsibility for expired Job Ads or for delivering applications prior to a Job Ad’s expiration. In addition we cannot vouch for the validity of the contact information provided to us by Employers. We also cannot vouch for the technical capabilities of any third party sites, including but not limited to ATSs. Third party sites, including ATSs used by Employers, may disclaim liability for technical malfunctions, including the failure in the delivery of applications. We are not responsible if an ATS rejects or fails to deliver an application to an Employer for any reason. If you do not feel comfortable sending an application or messages in this manner, or having your application or messages stored on Cusma Group, do not use the Cusma Group Apply or Cusma Group relay functions and please send your application or messages directly to the Employer by whatever other method you so choose, including the public mail system. You may contact the Employer directly to find alternative methods of application if you do not wish to apply through Cusma Group. By using the Cusma Group Apply system, you fully consent to the above.
If you require alternative methods of screening or application you must approach the Employer directly to request such as Cusma Group is not responsible for the Employer application process.
By using Cusma Group, you agree that Cusma Group is not responsible for the content of the Employer’s job application, messages, screener questions, skills assessments or their format or method of delivery, and that Cusma Group does not guarantee receipt of your application by the Employer, or your receipt of messages from the Employer. Please note that Cusma Group does not choose the questions asked by Employers or decide the job qualification criteria of Employers. Some questions may be labeled as Optional, indicating only that the application may be submitted to the Employer without providing an answer. Cusma Group cannot guarantee that the Employer will consider such an application or make a particular determination with regard to such an application. Cusma Group may inform Job Seekers that an Employer’s requirement from a job description does not appear to be present on a resume or application; this information is presented without warranty and Cusma Group does not guarantee that updating a resume or application will result in any job offer. Cusma Group does not guarantee the identity of an Employer or any individuals working for any Employers, and cautions Job Seekers when applying to jobs. Cusma Group cannot make any guarantee regarding health and safety measures in an Employer’s hiring or interviewing process. Cusma Group recommends Job Seekers follow personal health and safety best practices as recommended by the World Health Organization or similar institution. Cusma Group does not guarantee the validity of a job offer and cautions Job Seekers to verify the validity of a job offer before taking an adverse action regarding their current employment situations. Job Seekers are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any Employer or job offer.
Cusma Group may send you a notice relating to account security, such as informing you that you may have recently interacted with a compromised account. Cusma Group cannot and does not guarantee that such notices will always be sent or received, and you therefore agree that Cusma Group bears no responsibility for doing so. Cusma Group makes no warranty regarding, and disclaims any liability for, the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of such notices.
Cusma Group may use your application materials (including resumes and responses to screener questions) and the recency of your activity on Cusma Group to determine whether the words of any Job Seeker’s resume and answers to screener questions match the words of a Job Listing or Resume query, and vice-versa. You agree and consent that Cusma Group may differentiate those matching resumes and screener questions from those that do not match, and present them to Employers as matches or not matches. Cusma Group may also use such information in order to improve the Site or any other Cusma Group product or service (including by displaying or otherwise making available potentially relevant Job Listings and resumes to Job Seekers and Employers). Cusma Group may also highlight to you items in your prior application materials (including items in your resume and past responses to screener questions) that may match qualifications from the Job Listing, or highlight to you items that appear in the Job Listing that may not match your application materials. These highlights do not mean you are or are not qualified for the job or that you should or should not apply for it. Applying for such Job Listings does not guarantee job interviews or hiring. Even where Cusma Group highlights items or a Job Listing is shared with you, Cusma Group assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of Job Listings or highlights.
By using Cusma Group Apply and answering screener questions, you acknowledge that Employers may have instructed Cusma Group to send out rejection notices if your answers do not match the answers sought by the Employer, and you acknowledge that Cusma Group has no discretion in the transmission of these rejections. Cusma Group may offer Employers the ability to activate a feature on their account called Employer Assist. Activating Employer Assist means the Employer is instructing Cusma Group to send a message on the Employer’s behalf to the Job Seeker informing them that the Employer has determined not to move forward with their application. These notices are automatically sent after a period of time selected by the Employer, unless the Employer indicates to Cusma Group their interest in your application. You acknowledge and agree that Cusma Group has no discretion in the sending of these messages, and that any such messages are solely a result of the Employer’s decision to activate Employer Assist and to not take an action on your application on Cusma Group within the time period selected by the Employer. Any interactions the Employer has directly with you and not through a tool provided by Cusma Group (for example, calling or emailing you directly instead of through an Cusma Group Relay Service) are not visible to Cusma Group, and would not by themselves prevent an Employer Assist rejection notice from being sent. Cusma Group assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability, for the content, accuracy, validity, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any Employer Assist notices.
By using Cusma Group Apply and answering screener questions, you acknowledge that Employers may have instructed Cusma Group to schedule interviews with Job Seekers who meet criteria (based on information the Job Seeker has provided to Cusma Group, such as answers to screener questions, resume, and Cusma Group Assessment Responses) that the Employers have selected, and based on the Employers’ availability. You agree that Cusma Group has no discretion in the transmission or storage of these interview invitations (which are purely mechanical), that transmission or storage is not guaranteed, and that the availability or criteria the Employer provided to Cusma Group may not be accurate. Cusma Group may request that Job Seekers confirm their interest in the position before scheduling an interview. It is ultimately your and the Employer’s responsibility to confirm whether any interviews were scheduled, or to reschedule or cancel interviews if necessary. The decision of who to interview is decided solely by the Employer, who can choose to interview any Job Seeker at any time.
When you search for jobs on the Cusma Group Job Search app and proceed to apply for a job, including jobs on third party sites, Cusma Group may suggest information from your Cusma Group profile to include in your application. It is your responsibility to review suggestions before accepting them and including them on your application.
For Job Seekers located in Japan, you acknowledge that when contacted by Cusma Group, presented as Cusma Group Hire (hereinafter referred to as “Cusma Group Hire Japan”), Cusma Group is acting as an employment placement business provider (as defined under applicable law). Cusma Group Hire Japan offers the services in accordance with these terms and the rules set forth in its website. Cusma Group Hire Japan will only send you Job Listings that Cusma Group Hire Japan determines may be of interest to you. You may also end your relationship with Cusma Group Hire Japan at any time.
You acknowledge that as part of its efforts to combat fraud and spam, Cusma Group may require that users verify their email address. When you apply to a job through Cusma Group, you agree that you may be required to verify your email address, and that failure to verify may lead to your application being rejected.
- Communications and Other Actions on the Site
When you view, send, store or receive materials (including Job Listings, resumes, messages, applications, questions and responses in applications, and any other information) through or using the Site, Cusma Group may, for example, use such materials for data analysis, quality control, or to refine the Site or any other Cusma Group product or service (including to provide better search results and other listings for Job Seekers and Employers), whether via automated means or otherwise. When an Employer views, sends, stores or receives materials through or using the Site, Cusma Group may inform you about such actions. Additionally, we may also inform you that an Employer has taken other actions with regards to a Job Ad, your Resume, or your application, such as pausing or closing a Job Ad, opening your Resume or application, viewing your Resume or application, responding to your Resume or application, and making a decision with regards to your application or Job Ad. Cusma Group may inform the Employer about activities you take on the Site or your use of the Site, for example, whether you are online or active on Cusma Group, and you hereby consent to Cusma Group taking such actions.
If you have turned on browser push notification and wish to turn them off, you may do so by visiting the settings on your browser.
Cusma Group may offer you the opportunity to receive a text message interview reminder from Cusma Group when an Employer has scheduled interviews with you. In such an event you will enter your phone number on the Cusma Group consent form and by entering your phone number you are representing and confirming it is your phone number and that you have the right to accept text messages at the number. Cusma Group will only send you a text message reminder for such interview and you agree to accept such text message reminder on your cell phone, including messages sent by automated telephone dialing system. You acknowledge that if the words “automated,” “automatic,” or similar words are used on the Site in connection with calls or text messages, these words do not refer to the generation or storage of a phone number. Cusma Group only calls the number that you generated and stored when you provided your number to Cusma Group. In the event you change your phone number, you agree to promptly update your Cusma Group account with the new number. You agree that by providing your phone number or using the Site, you are establishing a business relationship with Cusma Group and that Cusma Group may send you text messages in connection with that relationship. Please note that since these text message services depend on the functionality of third-party providers, there may be technical delays on the part of those providers. We also cannot vouch for the technical capabilities of any third parties to receive such text messages.
Cusma Group may also insert functionality into messages relating to your application allowing you to place calls directly to third parties. Please note this functionality is provided solely as a courtesy and that such calls are not placed through or tracked by Cusma Group. Your standard calling rates with your phone provider will apply.
You may receive messages, including but not limited to text messages, emails or email notifications corresponding with your or an Employer’s (in the event you applied for a job) activity on or use of the Site, Cusma Group Apply, Cusma Group Chat, or any other communications service, product, or feature provided on or through the Site. In all cases, such messages or notifications are provided solely as a courtesy, and you should not rely on them. For example, if you accept an interview request, it is your responsibility to follow up with the employer separately to ensure they know your response, do not rely on notifications through Cusma Group. Cusma Group disclaims all warranties with regards to the transmission or storage of such courtesy notices, does not guarantee their delivery or receipt, and does not guarantee the date or time at which they may be sent. In the event a message being sent is intended for a closed account, these messages will not be deliverable.
Cusma Group may use your email address to create an alias email address for your communication, in lieu of displaying your actual email address to the Employer. Once an Employer has your contact info, you agree that Cusma Group is not responsible or liable for the manner in which the Employer uses the info. If an Employer sends an email to multiple recipients (e.g. by adding additional aliased email addresses to the cc field in a third party email client), this may affect the way messages on Cusma Group are displayed. In this case, it is best to view the email conversation in the third party email client. Should you choose to send an email from a third party email client, the person with whom you are communicating may be able to see your email address, rather than the alias. If you send or receive communication on or through the Site, you agree to your communication being processed, analyzed, reviewed, and stored, including via automated means, for data analysis, quality control, enforcement of the Sites’ rules and other Cusma Group policies, content moderation, and to improve the Site or any other Cusma Group product or service.
Cusma Group may enable chatbots, which allows you to take certain actions on the Site, such as apply to a job, schedule an interview, or otherwise interact with the Site, Employers, or Job Listings on our Site (“Chatbot”). You understand that the Chatbot is an automated service that does not involve human interaction. It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy and completeness of information submitted through the Chatbot. Cusma Group is not responsible for any loss, damage or inconvenience arising as a consequence of the use (or inability to use) the Chatbot or from the information you submit via the Chatbot.
Cusma Group reserves the right to turn on or enable Cusma Group Chat or other communication options for select Employers or Job Listings, in its sole discretion, and to notify you that Cusma Group Chat or other communication options are available for a particular job or Employer. For Cusma Group Chat, you may access or view your messages by visiting your Cusma Group Chat messages dashboard. Cusma Group may, in its sole discretion, turn off or disable Cusma Group Chat for any Employer or Job Seeker at any time without prior notice. Please note that if you are using Cusma Group Chat to communicate with an Employer, Cusma Group will deliver your messages as instructed by the Employer.
- Virtual Communications
Employers may offer you the opportunity to participate in virtual and remote communications using Cusma Group products, including but not limited to, Cusma Group Interview, Cusma Group Hiring Platform, phone interviews, virtual meetings, and video interviews (“Virtual Interviews”). You understand that Cusma Group is not a telecommunications service provider and that Cusma Group is only providing the option for you to communicate with Employers via services that may be offered by third-party providers. Please note that since these telecommunication services may depend on the functionality of third-party providers, there may be technical delays or malfunctions on the part of those providers. We cannot vouch for the technical capabilities of any third parties to receive, transmit, or support such phone or video communications. Cusma Group does not guarantee any aspect of your Virtual Interview experience including transmission of phone or video communications, quality of audio/visual content, data security, or data usage and restrictions. Cusma Group is not liable for any claims arising out of your use of Virtual Interviews and you release Cusma Group from any such claims.
You understand that Cusma Group does not guarantee the Employer’s schedule or availability for conducting Virtual Interviews and cannot vouch for the validity of the contact information provided to us. You also understand that the Employer is responsible for any and all questions, comments, or hiring decisions made. Further, Employers are responsible for any accommodations you need during Virtual Interviews.
NOTICE – Virtual Interviews May be Recorded: You understand that an Employer may enable the recording of a Virtual Interview. You agree to respect any notification (visual, audio, or otherwise) which may indicate that recording is enabled by an Employer on Virtual Interview. If you do not agree to be recorded, you must immediately leave the Virtual Interview. By using Virtual Interviews, you agree that the Virtual Interview may be recorded and that Cusma Group and third party providers can store, access and analyze the recording. Also, you agree that an Employer activating the recording function, and subsequently accessing, storing, using, or analyzing the recording is outside of Cusma Group’s control. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT CUSMA GROUP IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THE RECORDING OF VIRTUAL INTERVIEWS, AND YOU RELEASE CUSMA GROUP FROM ANY SUCH CLAIMS.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THERE IS NO PROTECTION FOR ANY INFORMATION YOU SHARE OR DATA THAT YOU TRANSMIT WHILE PARTICIPATING IN VIRTUAL INTERVIEWS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, AUDIO/VISUAL CONTENT, INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, OR YOUR IMAGE OR LIKENESS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT CUSMA GROUP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURING OR PROTECTING ANY DATA OR INFORMATION THAT YOU SHARE OR TRANSMIT DURING YOUR USE OF VIRTUAL INTERVIEWS. CUSMA GROUP ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR THE MISUSE OF ANY DATA YOU SHARE OR TRANSMIT THROUGH USE OF VIRTUAL INTERVIEWS.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ACCESS AND USE VIRTUAL INTERVIEWS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND THAT CUSMA GROUP DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF VIRTUAL INTERVIEWS.
- Cusma Group Assessments
Cusma Group Assessments is an online tool for the provision and review of skills assessments selected by Employers (“Assessments”) and responses from Job Seekers (“Responses”) through the Site. Employers may use the Cusma Group Assessments tool to send you Assessments, to which you may provide Responses. After you provide a Response, the Employer will be able to use the Cusma Group Assessments platform to review the Response. If there are multiple versions of the same Assessment, the Response percentile for any Job Seeker will be determined only in relation to other Responses to the same version of that Assessment.
An Assessment only evaluates a particular skill. It does not evaluate a Job Seeker’s qualification for any job. Whether a particular skill is relevant to a job, or whether a Job Seeker is qualified or appropriate for a job, is decided solely by the Employer sending the Assessment and reviewing your Response. Receiving or responding to an Assessment does not guarantee a job or job offer, or a job offer at any particular salary, or any further communication or action by any Employer. An Employer is the sole party to determine whether a Response indicates a qualified Job Seeker. Employers may have instructed Cusma Group to send out rejection notices if you have not responded to Assessments in a manner acceptable to the Employer, and you acknowledge that Cusma Group has no discretion in the transmission of these rejections. The Employer is the sole party to determine whether to consider any retaken Assessments as part of their hiring process.
You acknowledge and understand that Employers (or their employment agencies) select which Assessments to associate with their job openings, and that Cusma Group does not choose the Assessments sent by Employers and has no control over Employers’ selection or use of Assessments. You agree that the questions in any Assessment are solely being asked by the Employer sending the Assessment. You further agree that Cusma Group is not responsible for offering alternative methods of screening, if so required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other equivalent or similar law, and that the responsibility for offering any such alternative method lies solely with Employers. If you require an accommodation, or any alternative method(s) of Assessment, screening or application, you must indicate it to the Employer. Cusma Group may provide a means by which you may request such an alternative method or other accommodation from the Employer; Cusma Group does not guarantee the Employer’s receipt of, or response to, any such request. While Cusma Group is guided by WCAG 2.1, Level AA in our efforts to design and develop accessible offerings, as outlined in the accessibility statement, Cusma Group does not warrant that the method of delivery of any Assessment question is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act or any equivalent or similar law.
You agree and acknowledge that the usefulness and value of Assessments and Responses depend on their contents being kept confidential. You therefore agree to keep the content of Assessments and Responses confidential and to not reproduce or discuss them with anyone, except that you may communicate with an Employer about an Assessment they have sent to you and your Response.
Cusma Group does not have any obligation to screen any Assessment or Response, or to include any Assessment or Response in the Site, and may exclude or remove any Assessment or Response from the Site for any or no reason without liability or notice. Assessment links sent to you may continue to be active after an Employer has paused or closed their job campaign on Cusma Group. Once an Employer pauses or closes their Job Ad (for example, after the Employer has made a hire), Cusma Group cannot guarantee that the Employer will view any related notices or updates, including Assessments, Responses, and accommodation requests. You may still choose to take the Assessment for the purpose of adding its results to your Cusma Group Profile or for another job application.
Cusma Group may also offer you the option to select an Assessment to complete independent of a particular job, and your Response will be associated with your Cusma Group Profile. You may choose whether the Response is available to Employers viewing your Cusma Group Profile, though Cusma Group will count the Response for purposes of generating aggregate Response statistics even if Your Response is hidden.
You may be invited to choose to automatically share your Responses to specific Assessments with other employers who request the same skills test from you in the future as part of the job application process. Note that this is a completely separate preference from sharing settings on your Cusma Group Profile, which only controls whether your results are available on your Cusma Group Resume. If you choose to automatically share your Responses to specific Assessments with other employers who request the same skills test from you as part of the job application process, you acknowledge that Cusma Group has no discretion in the transmission or storage of the Assessments Responses you choose to share automatically, and that transmission or storage is not guaranteed.
As a Job Seeker, you consent to your Responses, applications, and any other communications sent through Cusma Group Assessments being processed and analyzed by Cusma Group according to this Agreement and Cusma Group’s Privacy Policy. You are requesting and authorizing Cusma Group to make your Response available to the Employer providing the Assessment, or (in the case of Assessments selected by you) to any Employer viewing Your Cusma Group Profile. You understand that this is without warranty, and that Cusma Group reserves the right to display or reformat Responses in a manner to permit Employers to review your Response together with Responses from other Job Seekers. Cusma Group may aggregate the results of all Job Seeker-selected Assessments for the purpose of displaying the percentile for Your Response. You also acknowledge that once you have requested that Cusma Group transmit your Response to an Employer, that request cannot be canceled. Cusma Group does not guarantee that any Employer will receive, access, read or respond to any Response, or that there will be no mistakes in the transmission of the data. However, Cusma Group may alert you when any of the above events occur.
As a Job Seeker, you shall not create or send any Response which: (i) contains any highly confidential personal information, such as bank account or credit card information, online account information, social security numbers (or similar counterparts outside the United States of America), health information, or other categories of data subject to special breach notification requirements in any country; (ii) contains proprietary information, trade secrets, confidential information, advertisements, solicitations, chain letters, pyramid schemes, investment opportunities, or other unsolicited commercial communication (except as otherwise expressly permitted by us in writing); or (iii) directly or indirectly violates the Site Rules.
Cusma Group does not act as an employment agency by offering the Cusma Group Assessments tool. By using Cusma Group Assessments, you acknowledge and agree that Cusma Group is not procuring employees for Employers or procuring opportunities to work for Job Seekers. Cusma Group merely provides a tool enabling Employers and Job Seekers to exchange Assessments and Responses as they determine. The sole responsibility for the content of any Assessment or Response, any requests for interviews or offers made, any issues arising from an acceptance or denial of employment, and any other issues arising from the use of Cusma Group Assessments, is solely with Employers or Job Seekers as applicable.
As a Job Seeker, you agree that any rights you have under any applicable employment, equality or discrimination laws, the US Fair Credit Reporting Act, any corresponding state laws, or any similar laws regulating consumer or credit reporting agencies in other countries, may only be asserted against the Employer.
Cusma Group is not a third party beneficiary of or liable for any agreements between an Employer and Job Seeker, regardless of whether or not Cusma Group receives a fee from the Employer in connection with the transaction. Cusma Group will not be liable for any costs or damages arising out of or related to such transaction.
Cusma Group assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability, for the content, accuracy, validity, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of the Site, the Cusma Group Assessments tool, and any Assessment or Response.

For example, Cusma Group may provide you with data regarding estimated salaries for a given Job Listing, number of applies to a Job Listing, responses to certain screener questions for a Job Listing, or the likelihood that a particular event will occur such as being selected for an interview. This information provided by Cusma Group is based on estimates given for informational purposes only and without warranty, and is subject to change or varying levels of accuracy. Cusma Group may also include salary estimations on pages other than Job Listings on the Site.

Minimum wage may differ by jurisdiction and you should consult the employer for actual salary figures.Cusma Group, in its sole discretion, may add labels or badges to Employer names or Job Ads, such as, “Responsive Employer” or “Active Employer” or “Hired on Cusma Group”. Employers may also request that Cusma Group add such labels. Cusma Group shall determine the method by which such labels or badges are determined or which Employers qualify. The lack of a label or badge may indicate that Cusma Group does not have sufficient data to determine if an Employer qualifies. Some of the data may be provided by the Employer and Cusma Group does not guarantee the accuracy of such data. Cusma Group does not guarantee the accuracy of any label or badge that is added to Employer names or Job Ads based on employer provided data, including data on Job Ads. Cusma Group may also display publicly available information about employers on Company Pages. Information on Company Pages is presented for informational and promotional purposes only, is subject to change, and may be gathered from or generated by third parties. Cusma Group assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any Company Page. Please contact the employer for the most accurate and up-to-date company information.
Similarly, career-related or hiring-related information provided by Cusma Group is for informational purposes only, and is in no way to be construed as professional career counseling or staffing services (unless otherwise expressly noted by Cusma Group in services such as Cusma Group Hire in Japan). You understand that Cusma Group may give suggestions or information regarding best-practices, however, you understand that it is ultimately your responsibility to determine how to pursue your job search or candidate search. You further understand that in providing any such career or hiring guides, Cusma Group is not acting as a job placement agency or staffing firm (unless otherwise expressly noted by Cusma Group in services such as Cusma Group Hire in Japan). You also understand that by referring to or using such career or hiring guides, you are not guaranteed job interviews, job placement, or assurance of being hired, and you take full responsibility for use of these services or guides.

- Your Job Seeker Data
As a Job Seeker, you take a variety of actions on our Site and you provide various information. For example, you search for jobs, and Cusma Group knows and stores the titles of jobs you search for and click on, where those jobs are located, the general salary range or experience level of the jobs you view (if indicated on the Job Listings), the Job Listings you apply to, your amount of activity or time of most recent activity on Cusma Group, information you provide directly to Cusma Group including desired salary, or past experience, or any information in your Cusma Group Profile, or any of your other behavior on the Site or information provided. You know exactly what this data is because you are the person who provided the information or undertook the activity and the data pertains only to your activity. If you have an Cusma Group account or a Job Seeker Resume, you agree that Cusma Group may associate this data with your Cusma Group Profile and use this observed factual data to suggest jobs to you and to suggest you or your public resume to Employers that might be interested in a person who matches your behavior on Cusma Group. You also agree that Cusma Group may contact you based on this observed behavior or provided info on behalf of Employers or Cusma Group itself. Please note, the aforementioned actions do not include information sent to you by a third party, however, Cusma Group may publicly display the fact that you have recently used the Cusma Group Site to correspond with a third party. In addition, if you set Your Resume to public, this means that Cusma Group may share all of the aforementioned information about yourself with third-party Employers. If you do not wish to share such information, you may set Your Resume to private. When you make changes to your Cusma Group Profile, including, but not limited to, updating, deleting, or changing settings on Your Resume, it may take a few days for the changes to be reflected.
In addition, you may have the opportunity to provide Cusma Group with certain demographic information about yourself, such as your race and ethnicity, gender, age, LGBTQ+ community membership, and disability status (“Demographic Information”). By choosing to provide your Demographic Information, you agree that Cusma Group may use it to evaluate and improve our products, and share aggregate summaries of job seeker information with employers. If you do not want your Demographic Information to be used in this way, do not provide it to Cusma Group (or, if you have already provided your Demographic Information to Cusma Group, you can request it be removed). You further acknowledge and agree that another Job Seeker’s Demographic Information is personal information, and to the extent permitted by law you waive any right to request or view Demographic Information pertaining to any other Job Seeker.
- Screening Tools
Cusma Group may make screening tools available to Employers for Employer use in the application process, including screener questions, phone screen tools and assessments. Cusma Group is licensing these tools for Employers’ use as determined by Employers. As a Job Seeker you agree that the Employer has made the determination to use these tools as part of its application process, and the questions asked are solely determined by the Employer, and are not being asked by Cusma Group. The Employer is the sole party to determine which answers will qualify a candidate and is solely responsible for the use of the screening tool including any results which are considered to have a “disparate impact”. You further acknowledge that only the Employer is responsible for offering alternative methods of screening, if so required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other equivalent or similar law. While Cusma Group is guided by WCAG 2.1, Level AA in our efforts to design and develop accessible offerings, as outlined in the accessibility statement, Cusma Group does not warrant that the method of delivery of these questions is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act or any equivalent or similar law.

By using Cusma Group Hiring Platform, you understand that Cusma Group is not procuring employees for Employer or opportunities for Job Seekers. Cusma Group merely provides Cusma Group Hiring platform as a tool that enables Employers and Job Seekers to exchange information as they determine.

- Employer Services Including Cusma Group Apply and Screener Questions
You also agree that, as a service to Job Seekers, Cusma Group may activate its Cusma Group Apply relay function for use in connection with your Job Listings, and that any Job Seekers who wish to indicate an interest in such Job Listing may do so through Cusma Group Apply, and that Cusma Group will send applications to the email address you provide us with. You also agree that Cusma Group may activate a chat bot, which enables Job Seekers to apply to your Job Ad by answering questions. The answers a Job Seeker submits are presented to you as a job application. When you use Cusma Group candidate management tools, including but not limited to your Employer Dashboard, or by activating the Cusma Group Apply relay function for your Job Listings, you acknowledge and agree that Cusma Group may make available functions allowing you to take actions regarding the Job Seeker, such as tools for setting up an interview, viewing a resume and rejecting a candidate. You agree that by using such candidate management tools, you are instructing Cusma Group to assemble the candidate’s application materials, resume, answers to screener questions, assessment responses and other information you provide to Cusma Group into one document. You further agree that Cusma Group is not responsible for maintaining or storing such application materials, and that you are responsible for your own compliance with any applicable record retention requirements. By using these tools, you are providing information to Cusma Group and requesting and authorizing us to make available such information to the applicable Job Seeker. For example, when you choose whether a qualification is preferred or required (including marking it as a deal breaker), this information may be highlighted to Job Seekers. Additionally, you consent to any information shared through Cusma Group being processed and analyzed by Cusma Group according to this Agreement and Cusma Group’s Privacy Policy. Cusma Group may store such information regardless of whether a job vacancy has been filled.
You are responsible for the contents of your emails, application form, screener questions or their format, criteria you set for inviting candidates to interview, Company Pages that you create, update, or manage any Job Listings that you post, and any messages that you send through Cusma Group Apply or otherwise, and agree that Cusma Group is not responsible for such content and disclaims all liability for such content, including as to whether such content is legal. You agree that Cusma Group may reject or remove any Job Listing, any part of any Company Page, or any questions for Job Seekers for any or no reason. Cusma Group further does not guarantee delivery, your receipt of the Job Seeker’s emails or application materials, or that there will be no mistakes in the transmission or storage of the data. You are solely responsible for checking your Employer dashboard to view job applications and other information. Any notifications, such as emails, you may receive about applications or other activities, are provided solely as a courtesy to you and you should not rely on them.
In the event a message being sent is intended for a closed account, these messages will not be deliverable. If you do not feel comfortable sending a message, including but not limited to an offer letter, to a Job Seeker through Cusma Group’s relay functions, do not use the Cusma Group relay functions and please contact the Job Seeker via the personal information provided in such Job Seeker’s resume or application or by whatever method you so choose. When using the Cusma Group Apply function, Cusma Group will attempt to send applications to the contact information provided to Cusma Group by you, however, Cusma Group has no ability to verify the contact information provided by you. In the event you provide incorrect contact information, it shall be your responsibility to correct, appropriately respond, or take any steps necessary to protect the privacy of such Job Seekers, and you indemnify Cusma Group for any damages resulting therefrom.
When you use the Cusma Group Apply relay function for your Job Listings, you acknowledge and agree that Cusma Group may add functions into the corresponding Cusma Group Apply emails. For example, Cusma Group may mask or hide contact information, such as email addresses, from resumes or applications and may substitute it with an alias. In addition, Cusma Group may, on your behalf, send out reminder emails to Job Seekers you wish to interview. Cusma Group may also send emails to Job Seekers on your behalf indicating that your Job Listing is potentially a match for the Job Seeker’s resume. When you use screener questions, you may be given the option to instruct Cusma Group to send out rejection notices if the Job Seeker has not answered the questions in the manner set forth in the online instruction. If you choose such option, you agree you are instructing us to send out rejection notices to such candidates and set them to rejected in your candidate dashboard. You further acknowledge that Cusma Group has no discretion in the transmission or storage of these or all other rejection notifications (which is purely mechanical), that transmission or storage is not guaranteed, and that the Job Seeker may not have answered the screener questions accurately. When you use Cusma Group’s candidate management tools, you may be given the option to send automatic rejection notices to candidates whose status you set to “rejected”. If you choose such option, you acknowledge that Cusma Group has no discretion in the transmission or storage of rejection notices.
Similarly, you may be given the option to use candidate management tools that schedule interviews on your behalf with Job Seekers who meet criteria you have selected. If you choose such option, you agree you are instructing Cusma Group to schedule interviews and invite candidates to interviews on your behalf via email based on whether information the Job Seeker has provided to Cusma Group (e.g., answers to screener questions, resume, Cusma Group Assessment Responses) matches criteria you have set. You further agree that Cusma Group has no discretion in the transmission or storage of these interview invitations (which are purely mechanical), that transmission or storage is not guaranteed, and that the information the Job Seeker provided to Cusma Group may not be accurate. Cusma Group may request that Job Seekers confirm their interest in the position before scheduling an interview. It is ultimately the Employer’s responsibility to confirm whether any interviews were scheduled, or to reschedule or cancel interviews if necessary. The decision of who to interview is decided solely by the Employer, who can choose to interview any Job Seeker at any time, and by scheduling such interviews, Cusma Group does not warrant that a Job Seeker is qualified, meets the criteria the Employer has set, or that the information provided by the Job Seeker to Cusma Group is accurate. You understand that Cusma Group does not act as an employment agency by offering this or other candidate management tools.
You agree that Cusma Group may take action to try to identify and reduce spam applications, and that one method of doing so may include imposing a cover letter requirement for such applicants. Cusma Group does not verify the identity of any Job Seekers who apply to your job listing, nor does Cusma Group know a Job Seeker’s motivation for applying to your job listing, and thus provides no guarantee as to the Job Seeker’s qualifications or interest in your job listing. You agree that Cusma Group Apply and Cusma Group’s relay functions are presented to you without warranty and Cusma Group assumes no responsibility for the communications between you and the Job Seeker, which communications are yours’ and the Job Seekers’ sole responsibility.
By using any automated phone screen product, you agree that you are requesting Cusma Group to send a Job Seeker a telephone number, which the Job Seeker may call with the purpose of answering your telephone screening questions. You agree these questions are part of your application process, are solely determined by you, and are not being asked by Cusma Group. You also agree that you are only asking Cusma Group to record the Job Seeker’s answers to your screening questions and that Cusma Group will forward you the recording of the answers to your questions. You consent to Cusma Group listening to and analyzing the recording in accordance with Cusma Group’s Privacy Policy. Cusma Group disclaims all warranties with regards to the transmission or storage of such phone screens and responses, does not guarantee their delivery or receipt, and does not guarantee the date or time at which they may be sent.
You shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Cusma Group, its agents, affiliates, and licensors from any third-party claim or liability (including without limitation reasonable legal fees) arising out of any Company Page created or claimed by you, or any Job Listing or screener questions (or answers thereto) posted by you, or any message sent by you (including any questions for Job Seekers contained in any of the foregoing). Cusma Group may make Job Ad analytics data available on a Company Page or elsewhere on the Site, and may provide analytics data regarding your Employer account to anyone at your company at Cusma Group’s discretion. To the extent permitted by law, if you have an unpaid or outstanding invoice or account balance for any Cusma Group product, Cusma Group reserves the right to suspend or terminate your use of that Cusma Group product as well as any other Cusma Group product, including but not limited to those Cusma Group products where you do not have an unpaid invoice or account balance. Cusma Group may elect to apply (i) penalties for late payment as per contemporaneous US Federal Reserve interest rates plus 10% or the maximum interest permitted by law, whichever is lower and (ii) a statutory lump-sum indemnity for recovery cost, if provided for under applicable laws, and (iii) any reasonable expenses and attorney fees Cusma Group incurs collecting such late payments.
When you view, send, store or receive materials (including Job Listings, resumes, and messages) through or using the Site, Cusma Group may, for example, use such materials for data analysis, quality control, or to refine the Site or any other Cusma Group product or service (including to provide better search results and other listings for Job Seekers and Employers), whether via automated means or otherwise. When you view, send, store or receive materials through or using the Site or when you simply use or visit the Site, Cusma Group may inform a Job Seeker that you have taken an action, for example, with regards to a Job Ad, Job Seeker’s Resume, or application such as pausing or closing a Job Ad, opening the Resume or application, viewing the Resume or application, responding to the Resume or application, and making a decision with regards to the application or Job Ad, and you hereby consent to Cusma Group taking such actions.
Cusma Group, in its sole discretion, may add labels or badges to Employer names or Job Ads, such as, “Responsive Employer” or “Active Employer” or “Hired on Cusma Group”. Employers may also request that Cusma Group add such labels. Cusma Group shall determine the method by which such labels or badges are determined or which Employers qualify. The lack of a label or badge may indicate that Cusma Group does not have sufficient data to determine if an Employer qualifies. Some of the data may be provided by the Employer and Cusma Group does not guarantee the accuracy of such data. Cusma Group does not guarantee the accuracy of any label or badge that is added to Employer names or Job Ads based on employer provided data, including data on Job Ads.
If you access or use any Cusma Group Application Programming Interface (API), including accessing and using the Site or any of the Cusma Group Apps or any Applicant Tracking System (ATS) through an API, you agree to be bound by this Agreement, the Cusma Group API Terms, Cusma Group Privacy Policy, the Site Rules, and any additional rules and policies made available by Cusma Group. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ACCESS AND USE ANY API AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND THAT CUSMA GROUP DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF ANY CUSMA GROUP API. It is your responsibility to regularly review any Cusma Group App or the Site for the most up-to-date information (including, but not limited to, explanations about how features work, disclaimers and disclosures regarding the services provided, method for charging) about Cusma Group’s products and services. By using an API, rather than directly using the Site or an Cusma Group App, you agree to all information provided on the Site or an Cusma Group App. Use of an Application or ATS via an API, rather than direct use of the Site or an Cusma Group App, shall not excuse any lack of information or understanding about Cusma Group’s products and services where that information is otherwise provided on the Site or an Cusma Group App.
You acknowledge that as part of its efforts to combat fraud and spam, Cusma Group may require that users verify their email address, including Job Seekers applying to your job. Email verification is not guaranteed. You are responsible for your use of any software that rejects applications from unverified email addresses
- Job Match
Cusma Group may use Job Seekers’ application materials (including resumes and responses to screener questions) and the recency of their activity on Cusma Group to determine whether the words of their resume and answers to screener questions match the words of your Job Listing or Resume query, and vice-versa. You further agree and consent that Cusma Group may differentiate those matching resumes and screener questions from those that do not match, and present them to you as matches or not matches. Cusma Group may also use such information in order to improve the Site or any other Cusma Group product or service (including by displaying or otherwise making available potentially relevant Job Listings and resumes to Job Seekers and Employers).
- Salary, Applies or Other Information Provided by Cusma Group
Cusma Group may provide some information and content to users for informational purposes only. For example, Cusma Group may provide Job Seekers with data regarding estimated salaries for a given Job Listing, number of applies to a Job Listing, responses to certain screener questions for a Job listing, or provide you with estimated applies to your Job Listing. All such figures provided by Cusma Group are estimates given for informational purposes only, may come from a third party, and they are subject to change or varying levels of accuracy. If you are participating in the Cusma Group Ads Program and your Sponsored Job advertising budget is set on a per-apply basis, you will be charged based on Cusma Group’s determination of Apply count as reflected in your employer dashboard and not based on the number of applies that may be provided to Job Seekers for informational purposes only. Cusma Group may also include salary estimations on pages other than Job Listings on the Site. Please note that all salary figures are approximations based upon multiple third party submissions to Cusma Group, including from Cusma Group affiliates. These figures are given to Cusma Group users for the purpose of generalized comparison only. Minimum wage may differ by jurisdiction and you should consult the employer for actual salary figures. Cusma Group may also provide data regarding impressions in relation to your job ad. Such figures are provided for informational purposes only, are subject to change at any time, and Cusma Group does not guarantee their accuracy. Cusma Group reserves the right to change the method of measuring such figures at any time.
- Screening Tools
Cusma Group may make available to you screening tools for your use during the application process, including screener questions, phone screen tools and assessments. Cusma Group is licensing these tools to you for your use as you determine. By using any screening product, made available to you by Cusma Group, you agree that you have made the determination to use these tools as part of your application process, and the substantive questions you ask or choose are solely determined by you, and are not being asked by Cusma Group. You are the sole party to determine which answers will qualify a candidate. You are solely responsible for the use of the screening tool including any results which are considered to have a “disparate impact”. You further acknowledge that you are responsible for offering alternative methods of screening, if so required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other equivalent or similar law. While Cusma Group is guided by WCAG 2.1, Level AA in our efforts to design and develop accessible offerings, as outlined in the accessibility statement, Cusma Group does not warrant that the method of delivery of these questions is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act or any equivalent or similar law. You agree to indemnify Cusma Group for any and all claims arising out of your use of a Screening Tool, including any claims that any screening tool does not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar or equivalent law, or that such Screening Tool results in a “disparate impact”.
Cusma Group may offer Employers the ability to activate a feature on their account called Employer Assist. Activating Employer Assist means the Employer is instructing Cusma Group to send a message on the Employer’s behalf to the Job Seeker informing them that the Employer has determined not to move forward with their application. To prevent a rejection notice from being sent, you must indicate your interest in the application on Cusma Group. Any interactions you have directly with a Job Seeker and not through a tool provided by Cusma Group (for example, calling or emailing a Job Seeker directly instead of through an Cusma Group Relay Service) are not visible to Cusma Group, and will not prevent an Employer Assist rejection notice from being sent. If you activate Employer Assist then you must interact with a Job Seeker through a tool provided by Cusma Group to prevent an Employer Assist rejection notice from being sent. If you activate Employer Assist you agree that you are instructing Cusma Group to send these messages to candidates with whom you do not interact within your chosen time frame, and you agree to indemnify Cusma Group from any claims arising therefrom. You further agree that Cusma Group may notify Job Seekers about the estimated time frame during which they may expect to hear back from you based on the time frame you choose in Employer Assist.
- Communication through Cusma Group
You may receive messages, emails or email notifications corresponding with your or a Job Seeker’s activity on or use of the Site, Cusma Group Apply, Cusma Group Chat, or any other communications service, product, or feature provided on or through the Site. In all cases, such messages or notifications are provided solely as a courtesy, and you should not rely on them. For example, if you wish to interview a Job Seeker, it is your responsibility to follow up with the Job Seeker separately to ensure they know about the interview, do not rely on notifications through Cusma Group. Cusma Group disclaims all warranties with regards to the transmission or storage of such courtesy notices, does not guarantee their delivery or receipt, and does not guarantee the date or time at which they may be sent. In the event a message being sent is intended for a closed account, these messages will not be deliverable.
Cusma Group may use your email address to create an alias email address for your communication, in lieu of displaying your actual email address to the Job Seeker. Once a Job Seeker has your contact info, you agree that Cusma Group is not responsible or liable for the manner in which the Employer uses the info. If you send an email to multiple recipients (e.g. by adding additional aliased email addresses to the cc field in a third party email client), this may affect the way messages on Cusma Group are displayed. In this case, it is best to view the email conversation in the third party email client. Should you choose to send an email from a third party email client, the person with whom you’re communicating may be able to see your email address, rather than the alias. If you send or receive communication on or through the Site, you agree to your communication being processed, analyzed, reviewed, and stored, including via automated means, for data analysis, quality control, enforcement of the Sites’ rules and other Cusma Group policies, content moderation, and to improve the Site or any other Cusma Group product or service.
Specifically, if you post a Job Listing directly on Cusma Group, applications are sent only to your Cusma Group dashboard; any other notifications you may receive are provided solely as a courtesy to you. For example, you may not receive application email notifications if a Job Seeker has not answered screener questions correctly, although these applications will be sent to your Cusma Group dashboard. Cusma Group reserves the right to turn on or enable Cusma Group Chat or other communication options for select Employers or Job Listings, in its sole discretion, and to notify Job Seekers that Cusma Group Chat or other communication options are available for a particular job or Employer. For Cusma Group Chat, you may access or view your messages by visiting your Cusma Group Chat messages dashboard. If you do not wish to use Cusma Group Chat, you may turn it off by visiting your Cusma Group Chat dashboard. Cusma Group may, in its sole discretion, turn off or disable Cusma Group Chat for any Employer or Job Seeker at any time without prior notice.

As partial consideration for Publisher’s use of the Site and the Publisher Program, Publisher agrees not to sue Cusma Group as a class plaintiff or class representative, join as a class member, or participate as an adverse party in any way in a class-action lawsuit against Cusma Group regarding Publisher’s use of the Site or the Publisher Program. Additionally, as a Publisher, the use of the Site and the Publisher Program is at no charge and Publisher acknowledges that part of the price it is paying to use this Site and the Publisher Program is its acceptance of these terms of service including this Class Action Waiver. If Publisher does not agree to any part of these terms, Publisher should not continue use of the Site, the Publisher Program, or any Program Elements. Nothing in this paragraph, however, limits Publisher’s rights to bring a lawsuit as an individual plaintiff, including in small claims court, subject to the jurisdiction requirements found in Section 8 above.
- Terms of Service for All Users
The following terms and conditions apply to all Job Seekers, Employers, Publishers and other users who access or use the Site, or otherwise indicate their acceptance to this Agreement. For purposes of this Section D of the Cusma Group General Terms of Service, all references to “you” or “your” shall mean you, the individual or organization accessing this Site in any capacity.
- Accessing External Sites
The Site contains links to other sites on the Internet which are owned and/or operated by third-party vendors and other third parties (the “External Sites”). You acknowledge that Cusma Group is not responsible or liable for any such third parties or for the availability of, or the materials located on or through any External Sites. You should contact the site administrator or webmaster for the applicable External Site if you have any concerns regarding such links or the materials located on an External Site.
In addition, Cusma Group may provide you with links to third party sites that offer you services for your use or benefit. We may stop offering any such third party sites or services at any time. If you choose to use such third party sites or services, you enter into an agreement with such third party alone at your own risk. When entering into an agreement with such parties, you are giving them your data directly and your rights and their obligations are determined by their privacy policies and terms of service. We are not responsible for any content or services provided by these third parties, and disclaim all liability from anything that may occur when you utilize such third parties. We are additionally not responsible for any payment that may be asked of you by such third party. You will be notified on the site that these are third party sites and services, and not Cusma Group.
For example, Cusma Group may provide you with access to a link on Cusma Group to background check services offered and performed by a third party (each a “Third-Party Background Check Service”). This service may be offered in the form of permitting a Jobseeker to request their own background check or permitting an Employer to request a background check of a Jobseeker. If you choose to use this link and these services, you are contracting directly with the Third-Party Background Check Service, and Cusma Group is not a party to this contract. Please note (and you acknowledge) that Cusma Group cannot and does not assemble, access, view, analyze, manipulate, alter, evaluate or store the background check reports provided by any Third-Party Background Check Service to you or to any other Cusma Group user. Cusma Group operates solely as a technical conduit, allowing the transmission of background checks sent by a Third-Party Background Check Service to you. Further, you agree to fully indemnify and defend Cusma Group for any claims arising out of your use of a Third-Party Background Check Service’s services or a background check provided to you by a Third-Party Background Check Service.
Pages on the Site may embed content and information provided by third-party APIs, which is subject to additional terms and conditions imposed by those third parties. For example, the Site may include Google Maps features and content, which is subject to the current versions of: (1) the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service; and (2) the Google Privacy Policy. Information on Company Pages includes publicly available information and/or information provided by the respective company and/or may come from third parties. For example, data about companies located in Japan may come from Toyo Keizai Shinpo Inc.

Cusma Group collects data from users visiting our Site in private browsing mode, “incognito mode,” or similar modes. You agree that Cusma Group may use third-party vendors to create, store, process, analyze, and record any and all such interactions, activities, and communications made with, on, or through our Site, and that such vendors’ activities are an extension of the Site. By using the Site you authorize Cusma Group and such vendors to make any connections with wires, lines, cables, or instruments, including with communication systems, that may be made in connection with the Site. The Site cannot work as Cusma Group intends it to work unless Cusma Group undertakes such activities. If you do not want your actions to be processed, analyzed, or recorded this way, do not use the Site.
Use of any automated system or software, whether operated by a third party or otherwise, to extract data from the Site (such as screen scraping or crawling) is prohibited.

- User Content
Some parts of the Site, such as message boards and forums or job posting pages, may allow users to post content like Job Listings, resumes, information, text, images, audio, video, messages, and other materials (any such materials that a user submits, posts, displays, or otherwise makes available on or through the Site, or any materials that a user submits to Cusma Group, including where it is stated that such materials may be posted on the Site or a third party website, including, but not limited to, mobile apps, are referred to herein as “User Content”). Such functionality is designed to help users obtain career and company information, to let users know of jobs, to provide information about potential job candidates, and facilitate other communication. User Content is provided by third-party contributors, many of whom may use anonymous screen names. User Content may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or deceptive. Once updated by the user, it may take a few days for the change to User Content to be reflected. For example, the Site hosts Company Pages, which allow User Content to be posted by individuals that may not be affiliated with the Company who owns the Company Page, including but not limited to the answers to Q&A questions on Company Pages. Cusma Group does not endorse and is not responsible for any User Content, including any opinion, advice, information, or statement contained therein. Some elements of Cusma Group job search results pages may appear to be content produced by Cusma Group, but are actually a reproduction of user-generated search queries. Job Ads or other User Content may be reformatted or include words such as “Powered by Cusma Group”. Such content retains its status as User Content despite reformatting or addition of “Powered by Cusma Group” or a similar phrase. The Site may allow users to post User Content like photos or videos from third-party sources (such as social media accounts or video sharing platforms). Removing such content from a third-party source will not affect its display on Cusma Group, and to remove such content from Cusma Group, a user must remove the content directly from the Site. You acknowledge that by accessing the Site, you may come into contact with content (including User Content) that you find harmful, offensive, threatening, indecent or objectionable, including, but not limited to, explicit language and other potentially offensive material, and you acknowledge that Cusma Group shall have no liability with respect to such content.
You must not post any User Content that is unlawful, fraudulent, discriminatory, threatening, abusive, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable, or that contains sexual, ethnic, racial or other discriminating slurs, or that contains no relevant or constructive content. You must also not post any User Content that contains proprietary information, trade secrets, confidential information, advertisements (other than Job Advertisements permitted by this Agreement), solicitations, chain letters, pyramid schemes, investment opportunities, or other unsolicited commercial communication (except as otherwise expressly permitted by us in writing), or encourages or causes spamming or flooding.
You are prohibited from posting any User Content containing official identification information (whether your own or of another person), such as social security number, passport number, national identification number, insurance number, driver’s license number, immigration number, or any other similar number, code, or identifier. Posting such identification information may lead to identity theft and other adverse consequences. Cusma Group may remove any such identification information, but does not undertake any obligation to do so, and has no responsibility and disclaims all liability for any posting of such identification information. Cusma Group reserves the right to change the display of resume on its Site, including, but not limited to, hiding fields, rearranging its format, and changing visual elements.
Although Cusma Group has no obligation to do so, Cusma Group may monitor User Content, and reserves the right to delete any User Content or portion thereof that, in Cusma Group’s sole discretion, violates the above rules, including any User Content that is unrelated to the specific portion of the Site on which it is posted, or that is an advertisement, recruiting or other commercial message (other than Job Advertisements permitted by this Agreement), or that Cusma Group deems in its sole discretion to be inappropriate. Cusma Group may limit your use of the Site, including but not limited to, your ability to contact other Employers or Job Seekers. If you believe that any User Content violates this Agreement or our policies, please contact Cusma Group immediately so that we may have the opportunity to consider its removal. You acknowledge and agree that Cusma Group does not have any obligation to host or remove any User Content, and i) the interpretation of whether any User Content violates any Cusma Group policy, ii) whether to publish or to withdraw from publication any User Content, and iii) whether to exclude any material that any party seeks to post on Cusma Group, will always remain within the sole discretion of Cusma Group. You agree that Cusma Group has no liability to you or anyone else arising from its editorial decisions. You acknowledge and agree that Cusma Group is an interactive computer service and does not have any obligation to screen any User Content, or to include any User Content (including without limitation Job Ads) in its search results or other listings, and may exclude or remove any User Content from publication for any or no reason.
Cusma Group reserves the right to disclose all User Content and other relevant information, and the circumstances surrounding their transmission, to any third party in connection with operating the Site; to protect itself, its affiliates, its partners and its visitors; and to comply with legal obligations or governmental requests. This means, for example, that Cusma Group may honor subpoenas, search warrants, law enforcement or court-mandated requests to reveal a user’s electronic address and identity, or other properly requested information. When you post on Cusma Group confidentially or otherwise (e.g. anonymous Company Reviews or a confidential Job Ad), your identity may be discoverable by legal request, including, but not limited to, requests from the government or law enforcement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Cusma Group reserves the right (but is under no obligation) to remove any Job Listing that directly or indirectly discriminates against Job Seekers. Direct discrimination means, for example, that a Job Listing specifically makes clear that only Job Seekers matching a certain criteria are wanted, thereby excluding others because of, for example, their gender, race, age or disability. Indirect discrimination means, for example, that a Job Listing implicitly excludes certain classes of Job Seekers by making it impossible for them to qualify for the job requirements. You understand and agree that it is your responsibility to refrain from posting any Job Listing that directly or indirectly discriminate against Job Seekers or otherwise violate applicable law.
Please note: Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act provides that:
(1) Treatment of publisher or speaker
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.
(2) Civil liability
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of-
(A) any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected; or
(B) any action taken to enable or make available to information content providers or others the technical means to restrict access to material described in paragraph (1).

You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, damages, and any other monies owed to any person or entity by reason of such User Content.

By providing Cusma Group with a mobile phone number, you confirm that you are the primary user and subscriber to the telephone number entered, and you expressly consent to receiving communication via such mobile number. If you are a Job Seeker who provided your phone number in connection with your job application, you agree the Employer may contact you at that number. When you give Cusma Group a mobile number and consent to receiving communication, such communications are inherent to the services you have signed up for. To stop receiving text messages at any time, reply to the text with STOP or contact Cusma Group Customer Support. For clarity, you agree and understand that texting STOP in response to an Cusma Group SMS alert will unsubscribe you from Cusma Group SMS alerts. However, you may continue to receive texts related to some offerings to which you have subscribed, such as Text2Apply and Hiring Events. In order to unsubscribe from these, you must respond STOP within the specific text flows of those offerings. Please note that replying STOP to any text message would unsubscribe you from text messages only, but you may still receive other communications from Cusma Group. You may also revoke your consent to receive text messages by terminating the Agreement through closing your Cusma Group account. By enabling two step verification, you verify that you are the owner of the phone number you provided. Revoking consent by replying STOP or terminating the Agreement does not apply to a phone number that an Employer already has that you provided as part of a job application. Once an Employer has your phone number, you agree that Cusma Group is not responsible or liable for the manner in which the Employer uses the number.

- Claims of Infringement
U.S. Copyright Infringement. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA“) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Cusma Group infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information as required by 17 USC. § 512(c)(3)(A): (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Cusma Group to locate the material on the site; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send Cusma Group a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent in writing to Cusma Group Copyright Notice, 6433 Champion Grandview Way, Building 1, Austin, TX, 78750, USA (copyright @ Cusma Group.com) (remove spaces when sending email). We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there are penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

Performance and placement of Ads may vary depending on Cusma Group’s consideration of various factors, such as demand, industry, type of role, sponsorship, and other considerations. Placement of a Job Ad on a certain page (for example, on Cusma Group Gigs) is not a representation regarding the nature of the role for legal purposes. The placement, positioning, and size of a Job Ad on Cusma Group Property or Other Websites is within Cusma Group’s sole discretion. You agree that if your Job Ad is so placed on Other Website(s), such websites may collect or receive information about your Job Ad and performance thereof.
By sponsoring a Job Ad, you are agreeing to pay a price for each user “click” (a user action that results in a job description being displayed to the user) that such an ad receives, on an apply-start basis as described below, or on a per-apply basis as described below. This includes clicks for Job Ads on Cusma Group as well as Other Websites. Click prices may vary based on a variety of factors, including without limitation the current supply and demand pertaining to advertisements and clicks, traffic on the Site, time of day, and other factors. You acknowledge that Cusma Group has limited knowledge and control regarding how clicks are measured on Other Websites and must rely in part on reports generated by Other Websites. Employers may be placed into a test group and offered a flat fee (plus taxes, if applicable) for a set number of Applies (as specified on the Site) to sponsor a Job Ad. By sponsoring a Job Ad on a flat fee, you agree that Cusma Group will not issue refunds if you pause your Job Ad or if you choose to receive less than the specified number of Applies. By sponsoring a Job Ad on a flat fee, you further agree that you may not make changes to a Job Ad budget after you submit billing information. By sponsoring a Job Ad, including but not limited to as part of a campaign, you are requesting that Cusma Group manage the visibility of your Job Ads on the Site to give your job exposure, in a way designed to make the experience on Cusma Group better for you and get your jobs better visibility. You are also requesting that Cusma Group manage the visibility of the Job Ads on Other Websites. “Exposure” does not always mean the Job Ad will get a particular spot on the page, or that it will be called out with special wording, but means that it will be placed by Cusma Group in accordance with Cusma Group judgment and discretion to achieve what Cusma Group determines, in its sole discretion, to be the best visibility for such a job, considering the budget. By sponsoring a job, including but not limited to as part of a campaign, you are requesting Cusma Group to manage this relative visibility and exposure on its Site as well as Other Websites. You acknowledge and agree that such management of sponsored Job Ads is in Cusma Group’s sole discretion and is provided without warranty as to how and where Cusma Group shall place such Job Ads. You shall direct only to Cusma Group any communications regarding Job Ads on Other Websites.
By sponsoring a Job Ad on Cusma Group, you understand that Cusma Group may include services or features that impact your ad campaigns such as automated ad placement and programmatic bid optimization.
By posting or sponsoring a Job Ad on or through Cusma Group, including but not limited to as part of a campaign or by XML feed: you agree that Cusma Group may and authorize Cusma Group to reformat and host (but not change the content of) the Job Ad on an Cusma Group hosted page or Other Websites in any way Cusma Group sees fit. You agree to this activity (reformatting and hosting) for all of your Job Ads, including ones you did not directly post on Cusma Group (for example, your Job Ads that Cusma Group indexed, that you had posted on your website or a third party website). All dashboards will reflect the total click count, including the clicks that open an Cusma Group reformatted or hosted page or Other Websites. In the event you provide Cusma Group with an indication that you are looking to fill your role in a short time period, as determined by Cusma Group, Cusma Group may add a label (such as “Urgent”, “Urgently Hiring” or similar) to your Job Ad. Cusma Group may use words or phrases interchangeably (for example, “Ad”, “Urgently Hiring”, “Paid”, “Promoted”, “Sponsored”, “Urgent” or similar) in connection with a sponsored advertisement on Cusma Group or Other Websites.
Job Ads posted directly on Cusma Group, or that have become hosted on Cusma Group, may no longer appear on the Site after a period of time; in some cases, these Job Ads may need to be sponsored in order to remain visible or become visible again. However, Job Ads indexed, but not hosted, by Cusma Group will expire after a period of time and Cusma Group may not be able to restore their visibility. If you sponsor a Job Ad but do not provide a payment method for your campaign, the job campaign will not begin and your Job Ad will not be visible. Cusma Group may in its sole discretion remove the budget and post the job with organic visibility. Cusma Group may require sponsorship for the display of any Job Ad at any time for any reason. Cusma Group may recommend or suggest a budget for any Job Ad to maintain or optimize its visibility. The suggestion is made without warranty and is not a guarantee regarding placement or visibility of any Job Ad. If you are located in Japan, you acknowledge that Cusma Group’s content moderation policies may, in some instances, result in the modification of your Job Ad, and you agree to this activity. If you are an Cusma Group agency partner, you may be eligible to participate in an Cusma Group partnership program. Agency partners in this program may attain the rank of “Gold”, “Silver”, or “Bronze” based on their Cusma Group usage and engagement, measured by revenue. Cusma Group’s determination of an agency’s rank is made at Cusma Group’s full discretion and may be revoked at any time. Cusma Group may offer some Employers who sponsor Job Ads the opportunity to be displayed more prominently, or in an enhanced way, on the Site (“Featured Employer”). Featured Employer is awarded at Cusma Group’s sole discretion. The ability to receive Featured Employer, generally, is a function of both the number of open jobs at your company and how much you spend. A Featured Employer may also receive subscriptions to the Cusma Group Resume Program for a limited time (“Resume Rewards”), which are awarded at Cusma Group’s sole discretion. The Featured Employer program and Resume Rewards may be changed or removed by Cusma Group at any time, at Cusma Group’s sole discretion.
When you sponsor a Job Ad on or through Cusma Group, Cusma Group may include targeted ads services as part of the services provided to you when you start a campaign, and you authorize Cusma Group to provide such services. Targeted Ads may appear on the Site or on Other Websites. Target audience membership is based partly on information and criteria provided by the Employer, for example information provided in the Job Ad, but the composition of each target audience is determined by Cusma Group in its sole discretion. For example, Cusma Group reserves the right to decide, in its sole discretion, the frequency or number of times an ad is displayed to members of a target audience. For certain ads appearing on Other Websites, Cusma Group has limited control over the target audience, and you agree that in such circumstances Cusma Group is not responsible for the composition of the target audience. For ads appearing on Other Websites, Cusma Group disclaims all liability and makes no warranties as to the target audience and any related claims, such as claims arising out of or related to individuals who were able to view or were unable to view the Job Ad.
Cost per Apply. Cusma Group may offer a tool permitting an Employer to set a Sponsored Job advertising budget on a per-apply basis, which may be, referred to as “cost-per-apply” or “pay-per-apply.” Employers may be placed into a test group and offered the cost-per-apply product by default, which may include an option to pay a flat fee for a set number of Applies (as specified on the Site). If you are placed in such a test group and wish to purchase a cost-per-click advertising plan instead of cost-per-apply, contact Client Success at 1-800-475-4361. Charges are based on applies (“Applies” or “Apply”), defined as either 1) an application to one of your Job Ads delivered by Cusma Group on the Site 2) applications from Job Seekers whose responses meet the qualification questions you marked as Deal Breakers, or 3) applications you choose to not replace within a certain time frame specified on the Site when given the option, whichever of the three appears on the Site for you. If your charges are based on the third option, the number of Applies on your analytics dashboard is updated after the specified time frame has elapsed. For all options, Cusma Group does not verify Job Seeker responses, nor do we confirm the accuracy of such responses. An application will be deemed an “Apply” for the purposes of this section regardless of whether a Job Seeker has completed any requested Assessments. Cusma Group may offer estimates regarding the number of Applies for a given budget; this information is based on estimates only and is not a guarantee of future performance or of any particular number of Applies. By selecting a desired number of Applies on the Site, you are requesting Cusma Group to display your Job Ad in Cusma Group’s sole discretion, using the budget you have selected. You will be charged upon the earlier of a) your ad campaign spending $500.00 or more or b) the beginning of the next calendar month after you sponsor your Job Ad. If you previously purchased cost-per-click Sponsored Jobs on the same account, you may also be charged once your Job Ad campaign spends $25.00. The campaign for your Job Ad will automatically pause after the number of Applies you have selected are delivered or when you pause or close your job. Charges are solely based on Cusma Group’s Apply measurements. Cusma Group’s determination of Apply count shall be binding. Cusma Group and its affiliates, and its and their third-party licensors, disclaim all guarantees regarding positioning, accuracy, or the levels or timing of: (i) costs per Apply, (ii) delivery of any Applies, (iii) the interest level of any users who Apply to or view your job. Cusma Group further disclaims all guarantees regarding analytics and statistics provided to Employers in the cost-per-apply test group, as such information may be inaccurate or outdated during the test.
Pay-per-Apply-Start. Cusma Group may offer Employers the ability to set a Sponsored Job advertising budget on a per-apply-start basis, referred to as “pay-per-apply-start.” Charges are based on apply starts (“Apply Starts”), which are defined as 1) a user clicking on a button or link in a Job Ad or email to start or continue an apply on the Site or on a third party site; 2) a user interacting with a chatbot, qr code, or other method to start an apply related to a Job Ad; 3) a user clicking on a button or link in a Job Ad to call or send an email to an Employer; or 4) a user clicking on a button or link to schedule an interview. Apply Start prices may vary based on a variety of factors, including without limitation the current supply and demand pertaining to advertisements and clicks, traffic on the Site, time of day, and other factors. You acknowledge that Cusma Group has limited knowledge and control regarding how apply-starts are measured on Other Websites and must rely in part on reports generated by Other Websites. Cusma Group may offer estimates regarding the number of Apply Starts for a given budget; this information is based on estimates only and is not a guarantee of future performance or of any particular number of Apply Starts. By selecting a desired number of Apply Starts on the Site, you are requesting Cusma Group to display your Job Ad in Cusma Group’s sole discretion, using the budget you have selected. The campaign for your Job Ad will automatically pause after the budget you have agreed to has been depleted or when you pause or close your job. Charges are solely based on Cusma Group’s Apply Start measurements. Cusma Group’s determination of the Apply Start count shall be binding. Cusma Group and its affiliates, and its and their third-party licensors, disclaim all guarantees regarding positioning, accuracy, or the levels or timing of: (i) costs per apply starts, (ii) the interest level of any users who initiate an Apply Start related to your job; (iii) that a user will complete an application. You will be charged upon the earlier of a) your ad campaign spending $500.00 or more or b) the beginning of the next calendar month after you sponsor your Job Ad. Cusma Group further disclaims all guarantees regarding analytics and statistics provided to Employers, as such information may be inaccurate or outdated during the testing of these features.
Cusma Group may offer conversion tracking that Employers may install on their own websites (“Conversion Tracker”). The Conversion Tracker will inform Cusma Group when a Job Seeker completes an application on the Employer website, allowing those applications to appear in the Employer Dashboard. By installing or using a Conversion Tracker, you represent and warrant that you shall do so in accordance with all applicable laws, including without limitation that you shall provide users of your website with all necessary disclosures, and obtain any necessary consent or agreement from such users, to permit the Conversion Tracker to function in accordance with applicable law, and you agree to defend and indemnify Cusma Group from any failure to do so. The Conversion Tracker is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis, and without warranty. Cusma Group disclaims all liability for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of the Conversion Tracker.
In some instances, you may be able to insert your own tracking pixels in your Job Ad for the purpose of measuring the performance of your ads. This is provided as courtesy, and Cusma Group may disable this option at any time. You are solely responsible for your use of the pixels, and Cusma Group disclaims all liability related to such use. Cusma Group provides no warranty regarding the proper functioning of the pixel, any numbers reported, or that use of the pixels would be error free. You are advised not to rely on the pixel. Any such tracking pixel, or analytics generated thereby, shall not be used to dispute or challenge Cusma Group’s click count, which is binding. You agree not to use the information collected using tracking pixels for any purpose other than for measuring the performance of your ads. For example, you may not use the pixel to profile users or for behavioral analytics. To the extent you decide to use such pixels, you agree to be in compliance with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, privacy and data protection laws implicated by such use. For example, updating your privacy policy where necessary. You agree to defend and indemnify Cusma Group from any claim arising from your tracking pixel.

Cusma Group may immediately cancel the Program or these IAP Terms at any time upon notice. Cusma Group may modify the Program or these IAP Terms at any time without liability and your use of the Program after notice that these IAP Terms have changed indicates acceptance of the updated IAP Terms.

Cusma Group or Other Websites may reject or remove any Job Ad, and Cusma Group may disable any Employer’s account, for any or no reason without notice. Although Cusma Group may indicate why a job or account has been removed or disabled, we cannot give every reason why a job or a company may be removed, and we always retain the right to remove any job, organic or sponsored, if we feel it is in our interest or our users’ interest. For examples of why Cusma Group may reject such Job Ads from Employers, refer to Cusma Group’s Search Quality Policies, which are provided by way of illustration and are not exhaustive. By submitting your Job Ad to or through Cusma Group, you agree that Cusma Group is under no obligation to accept, host, or publish your Job Ad. That decision is entirely Cusma Group’s in its sole discretion. The Cusma Group team responsible for maintaining the quality of the Site is independent, and its decisions are final and not subject to review. Cusma Group may require some Job Ads to be sponsored in order to verify the legitimacy of the Job Ad and/or the Employer, to prevent abuse of the free to post system, to improve our services, or for any other reason in Cusma Group’s sole discretion. Cusma Group may also limit the number of free Job Ads you are allowed to post at a given time in Cusma Group’s sole discretion. For example, we may require you to sponsor the following types of Job Ads: identical jobs posted in multiple locations, jobs posted with a confidential or generic company name, jobs that are commission only, hard-to-fill jobs, jobs posted by a staffing agency, recruitment process outsourcer, or other recruitment-based company, and any other jobs as determined by Cusma Group. Additionally, Cusma Group may choose not to accept an employer’s XML feed or any Job Ads in an XML feed for any or no reason. If you are a job board as determined by Cusma Group, Cusma Group reserves the right to include or reject any or all of your Job Ads. By submitting Job Ads to or through Cusma Group, you agree that the determination as to whether you are deemed to be a job board is made by Cusma Group in its sole discretion, and such decision is binding, and you agree that Cusma Group is under no obligation to accept, host, or publish your Job Ad. That decision is entirely Cusma Group’s in its sole discretion. The Cusma Group team responsible for maintaining the quality of the Site is independent, and its decisions are final and not subject to review. For examples of why Cusma Group may stop accepting such Job Ads from job boards, refer to the Job Board Inclusion Guidelines. As a job board, you may only post Job Ads on the Site for your own company; you may not post Job Ads on the Site for your clients and if you do or attempt to do so, Cusma Group reserves the right to limit or disable your account. Cusma Group further reserves the right to reject any Job Ads which advertise staffing opportunities or platforms rather than actual jobs. You acknowledge that inclusion of jobs in violation of these guidelines on the Cusma Group Site may harm Cusma Group and its users.

Cusma Group Resume/CV Search Program Terms
These Cusma Group Resume Search Program Terms or Cusma Group CV Search Program Terms (collectively, “IRSP Terms”) form a part of, and are incorporated into, the Cusma Group Terms of Service (the “Agreement”), and apply to any Employer that accesses or uses the Cusma Group Resume Search offering, or that otherwise indicates its acceptance of these Cusma Group Resume Search Program Terms. By agreeing to the Cusma Group Resume Search Program Terms, you also agree to the Cusma Group Terms of Service.
Any capitalized terms that are used but not defined in these IRSP Terms have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.
- The Program
Use of the Cusma Group Resume Search Program (“Program”) by an individual who posts his or her resume on the Site (hereinafter, “Resume Owner”) or Employer on or through the Site is subject to all applicable Cusma Group best-practice guidelines, policies and other terms and conditions made available to you, including through the Site, on the subscription or plan purchase page, and on the FAQ and information page(s) for the country you are purchasing a subscription or plan for, any or all of which may be modified at any time. Purchasing additional subscriptions or plans, or modifying subscriptions or plans may reset the monthly billing date for subscriptions or plans associated with your account, resulting in pro rata charges to account for the new date. If you purchase a new plan in India during the duration of your current plan, the new plan will begin after your current plan ends. You shall not use any information obtained from the Site except for internal use in selecting and contacting Resume Owners, through Cusma Group, for purposes of filling your Job Listings. You shall not use the Cusma Group Resume Search Program for any directly or indirectly illegal, discriminatory, or fraudulent purpose. You are solely responsible for your use of the Program, including but not limited to, how you search for Job Seekers, who you decide to contact, and any employment related decisions you make. Contact information provided by Cusma Group, including any Relay Service email address, is for your individual use only and may not be shared with any other person. You are expressly forbidden from using any product or system intended to extract the information from a Resume, in order to circumvent the Resume contact system. Use of such system will result in your immediate termination from the Program. In addition, as a feature of the IRSP, Cusma Group may send emails to Job Seekers on your behalf indicating that your Job Listing is potentially a match for the Job Seeker’s resume. In some circumstances, Cusma Group may limit the number and/or frequency of times you may contact a Job Seeker through the Site. For example, if you contact a Job Seeker, and the Job Seeker does not express interest or contact you back, you may not be able to contact them again for a period of time.
IMPORTANT NOTICE : YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT: in purchasing or obtaining access to the Program, you are paying Cusma Group the amount indicated on the Site for the purpose of Cusma Group facilitating your contact with a Resume Owner by sending a message to the email address that the relevant Resume Owner has provided to Cusma Group, or by connecting you via phone call to the number provided by the Resume Owner. Your use of the Program is subject to all Cusma Group Site Rules and policies, including the Cusma Group Privacy Policy and any policies pertaining to Relay Services. Cusma Group does not guarantee that the email address is still in use, that such message will be received, that such message will be read, that such message will be acted upon by any potential Resume Owner, or that any Resume Owner’s resume or information thereof is valid, accurate or complete in any respect. Cusma Group may return different results for the same resume search query and has full discretion with respect to the resumes or profiles it presents in response to any particular search. Cusma Group does not allow its Program, including but not limited to, resume contact service to be used in a spam like manner, and you expressly agree not to use the Program service in such manner. Cusma Group defines “spam like manner” as sending requests for job positions to persons who are, as indicated by Cusma Group experience and/or Resume Owner behavior and reaction, unsuited for the role or who have indicated that such requests are unwanted. Cusma Group reserves the right to disable Cusma Group Resume Search contact service for any user who, in Cusma Group’s sole discretion, violates these IRSP Terms, including the foregoing term. We reserve the right to drop any message, including without limitation dropping any message with an .ade, .adp, .bat, .chm, .cmd, .com, .cpl, .exe, .hta, .ins, .isp, .jar, .jse, .lib, .so, .dll, .lnk, .mde, .msc, .msp, .mst, .pif, .scr, .sct, .shb, .sys, .vb, .vbe, .vbs, .vxd, .wsc, .wsf, .wsh, or .zip attachment or any other attachment containing scripts, macros, or other code, or other messages that Cusma Group suspects to be malicious or spam, or for any or no reason. The only acceptable use of the IRSP is for you to contact a Resume Owner through Cusma Group regarding a Job Listing or potential employment. No other uses of the IRSP are permitted. Scraping the Cusma Group Resume Search database, which may include any Job Seeker Resume, or using the Cusma Group Resume Search database for any other purpose except as allowed will result in legal action being taken against you. We may in our sole discretion place limits on your ability to run searches using Resume Search if we suspect that your use may adversely affect Cusma Group’s system, you are using the Resume Search in a malicious or objectionable manner, or you have violated this Agreement. Additionally, if you are a competitor of Cusma Group (including but not limited to any job aggregation website or any job posting websites) you may not use the Cusma Group Resume Search database to contact a Resume Owner for the purpose of sending them a job offer from your clients, and any such competitive use of the Cusma Group Resume Search database may result in Cusma Group blocking you from the Site, blocking you from contacting Resume Owners, and blocking your contact emails to those resume owners without notice and you consent to the same. Cusma Group may limit the number of devices each account is logged into. Except for plans in certain markets, such as India, where you have the option to assign additional seats to a plan, each Resume subscription or plan is solely for the individual use of the person to whom it is assigned, and may not be shared with other users. If you have a plan in India, you agree that adding seats to the plan does not add additional contacts to the subscription plan; if you add a seat on a day after the subscription plan has started, the price you pay for that seat is prorated, however, the number of contacts remains unaffected. For plans in India, once the time period on your subscription plan expires, so will any remaining contacts; no unused contacts will carry over to your new plan.
In the event phone numbers are provided by the Job Seeker in the resume, Cusma Group does not guarantee their validity and can not confirm whether such numbers are landlines or cell phones. You agree to call Job Seekers regarding relevant job opportunities only. It is your sole responsibility to comply with all TCPA guidelines, as well as other laws against automated telephone dialing systems or laws governing phone or mobile communications in your applicable jurisdiction.
Information contained in Job Seeker resumes is self-reported by Job Seekers and is not verified by Cusma Group. Any filtering, sorting, matching, or ranking tools available to you as part of the Resume Search Program rely on this Job Seeker-provided information and/or information you provide to Cusma Group about your job requirements or preferences. The appearance of a given Job Seeker’s resume in search results or as a match is not a guarantee that the Job Seeker has the attributes or experience you have selected or that they would be interested in a job. When you use the Program, Cusma Group does not guarantee that you will see desirable, or any, search results in response to each query or that you will see desirable, or any, daily matches. The matching offering is provided to you on a beta basis and is subject to our Beta Terms of Service.
You agree that Cusma Group may update, modify, or discontinue the Resume Search Program at any time and in our sole discretion and without liability to you. You agree and acknowledge that the Program pricing and offerings are subject to change.
- Cancellation
Once you have requested that Cusma Group contact a Resume Owner, you may not revoke such request. Cancellation of your use of the IRSP shall be in accordance with any cancellation policies listed on the Site.
Cusma Group reserves the right to cancel any subscription at any time and for any or no reason. Cusma Group may immediately cancel the Program or these IRSP Terms at any time upon notice. Cusma Group may modify the Program or these IRSP Terms at any time without liability and your use of the Program after notice that the Program or these IRSP Terms have changed indicates acceptance of the updated IRSP Terms. Sections 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 will survive any expiration or termination of these IRSP Terms.
- Your Information
You represent and warrant that all information you provide to Cusma Group is correct and current. You represent to Cusma Group that you are an Employer interested in considering the Resume Owner as a potential employee.

Cusma Group Assessments Terms
These Cusma Group Assessments terms (“IA Terms”) form a part of, and are incorporated into, the Cusma Group Terms of Service. By accessing or using Cusma Group Assessments as an Employer in any way, or by registering as an Employer on Cusma Group Assessments, or by otherwise accepting these IA Terms, you agree to these IA Terms and to the Cusma Group Terms of Service (the “Agreement”). Any capitalized terms that are used but not defined in these IA Terms have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.
- Introduction
Cusma Group Assessments is an online tool for the provision and review of assessments which are selected by Employers (“Assessments”) in order to request responses from Job Seekers (“Responses”) through the Site. “Assessments” include any assessment offered or published by Cusma Group and/or third party assessment providers that you may choose to send to a Job Seeker through Cusma Group.
- Assessments
You agree that any Assessment sent by Cusma Group to a Job Seeker is done so at your sole request, and you represent and warrant that you have that Job Seeker’s consent for Cusma Group to contact that Job Seeker for the purpose of transmitting the Assessment(s) you have selected. You also acknowledge that once you have requested that Cusma Group transmit your Assessment to a Job Seeker, that request cannot be canceled. Cusma Group does not guarantee that any Job Seeker will receive, access, read or respond to any Assessment, or that there will be no mistakes in the transmission of the data. However, Cusma Group may alert you when any of the above events occur.
You agree you have made the determination to use Cusma Group Assessments as part of your application process, and that the types of questions asked in any Assessment or bundle of Assessments you send to a Job Seeker are solely being asked by you and are not being asked by Cusma Group. Except for third party Assessments, Cusma Group offers Assessments solely in its capacity as a developer and publisher. You agree you are solely responsible for the use of Assessments and Responses in compliance with the law, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act and similar state statutes. You are solely responsible for your use of Cusma Group Assessments, including without limitation any results which are considered to have a “disparate impact.” You further agree that you are solely responsible for offering alternative methods of screening, if so required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other equivalent or similar law. You acknowledge that Cusma Group may, but is not obligated to, provide a means by which Job Seekers may request such an alternative method or other accommodation from you. While Cusma Group is guided by WCAG 2.1, Level AA in our efforts to design and develop accessible offerings, as outlined in the accessibility statement, Cusma Group does not warrant that the method of delivery of any Assessment question is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act or any equivalent or similar law.
You are the sole party to determine which Assessment to send to any Job Seeker. You agree that an Assessment is only designed to evaluate a particular skill. It does not evaluate a Job Seeker’s qualification for any job nor their ability to safely perform a job. Whether a particular skill is relevant to a job, or whether a Job Seeker is qualified or appropriate for a job, is decided solely by you. Cusma Group reserves the right to change any Assessment or the questions asked within an Assessment at any time, for any or no reason, including but not limited to quality control.
Sending an Assessment to a Job Seeker does not guarantee a Response or any further communication or action by any Job Seeker. You consent to your Assessment and any other communications sent through Cusma Group Assessments being processed and analyzed by Cusma Group according to this Agreement and Cusma Group’s Privacy Policy.
- Responses
You understand that Job Seekers provide a Response to an Assessment at their sole discretion.. After a Job Seeker has provided a Response, You will be able to use the Cusma Group Assessments platform to review the Response. In the case of a third party Assessment, you may only be able to view limited information, such as a link to the final result of the Assessment. A Job Seeker may also have the option to select an Assessment and associate the Response with their Cusma Group Profile, which will be visible to Employers in accordance with our Terms. If there are multiple versions of the same Assessment, the Response percentile for any Job Seeker will be determined only in relation to other Responses to the same version of that Assessment. Assessments created, published, or administered by third parties other than Cusma Group are scored in accordance with the scoring rubrics as determined solely by such third parties.
As an Employer you are the sole party to determine whether a Response, including but not limited to a result, indicates a qualified Job Seeker. You may instruct Cusma Group to send out rejection notices if the Job Seeker has not responded to Assessments in a manner acceptable to you, and you acknowledge that Cusma Group has no discretion in the transmission of these rejections. As the employer, you are the sole party to determine whether to offer a Job Seeker the opportunity to retake any Assessment that you sent or update or modify their Response.
You acknowledge and agree that Responses are only provided on the condition that you use them responsibly and legally as part of your hiring process, which includes considering any other relevant information about the Job Seeker. Cusma Group may display excerpts from or summaries of Responses in other products such as Cusma Group Resume. These summaries are for convenience only and are not to be used in lieu of the full Response in context. You agree not to rely solely on such excerpts or summaries when making a hiring decision regarding any Job Seeker.
- Rules For Using Cusma Group Assessments
As an Employer, you represent and warrant that you shall not access or use Cusma Group Assessments for any directly or indirectly illegal, discriminatory, or fraudulent purpose. You shall not create or send any Assessment which is directly or indirectly illegal, discriminatory, fraudulent, threatening, abusive, libelous, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or that contains sexual, ethnic, racial or other discriminating slurs, or that contains no relevant or constructive content. You shall not create or send any Assessment containing proprietary information, trade secrets, confidential information, advertisements, solicitations, chain letters, pyramid schemes, investment opportunities, or other unsolicited commercial communication (except as otherwise expressly permitted by us in writing).
Cusma Group Assessments is not a tool to ask for sensitive personal data from Job Seekers. Employers may not create or send any Assessment which seeks highly confidential personal information from Job Seekers, such as bank account or credit card information, online account information, social security numbers (or similar counterparts outside the United States of America), health information, or other categories of personal data subject to data breach notification requirements in any country.
An Employer who receives an accommodation request through Cusma Group Assessments must provide an accommodation to the extent required by applicable law, and further must provide evidence of compliance to Cusma Group immediately upon request. Any failure to fulfill these obligations is a material breach of this Agreement and Cusma Group may immediately terminate your account and your access to Cusma Group Assessments with no further obligation to you. You agree to defend and indemnify Cusma Group from any claims arising from your failure to comply with this section.
You understand and agree that Cusma Group does not have any obligation to screen any Assessment or Response, or to publish any Assessment or Response on the Site, and may exclude or remove any Assessment or Response from the Site for any or no reason without liability or notice.
- Cusma Group’s Role
Cusma Group does not act as an employment agency by offering the Cusma Group Assessments tool. By using Cusma Group Assessments, you acknowledge and agree that Cusma Group is not procuring employees for Employers or procuring opportunities to work for Job Seekers. Cusma Group merely provides a tool enabling Employers and Job Seekers to exchange Assessments and Responses as they determine. The sole responsibility for the content of any Assessment or Response, any decision to proceed or not to proceed with interviews or offers, any issues arising from an acceptance or denial of employment, and any other issues arising from the use of Cusma Group Assessments, is solely with Employers or Job Seekers as applicable.
Cusma Group cannot confirm the information submitted by anyJob Seeker, or other user, including the identity of any user. Cusma Group does not inquire into the backgrounds of Job Seekers or attempt to verify the statements of Job Seekers. You are responsible for conducting any background checks, reference checks, or other due diligence that you may require before making an offer of employment to a Job Seeker. You are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations relating to the intended employment of any Job Seeker. Further, for any skill area in which formal licenses or certifications may exist, Assessments do not act as a substitute for such license or certification and do not speak to whether a Job Seeker is qualified for or has such a license or certification. It is the Employer’s sole responsibility to determine what licenses or certifications are required for their job and whether a Job Seeker has such license or certification. Cusma Group also makes no statement as to whether a particular skill is necessary for a job and it is an Employer’s sole responsibility to make such a determination (or seek appropriate legal counsel to do so), in accordance with the EEOC regulations or other applicable laws.
Cusma Group is not a party to, third party beneficiary of, or liable for, any agreements, offers, or promises between an Employer and Job Seeker, regardless of whether Cusma Group receives a fee from the Employer in connection with the transaction. Cusma Group will not be liable for any costs or damages arising out of or related to such transaction.
Cusma Group assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability, for the content, accuracy, validity, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of the Site, the Cusma Group Assessments tool, and any Assessment or Response.

Cusma Group Targeted Ads Terms
These Cusma Group Targeted Ads terms (“ITA Terms”) form a part of, and are incorporated into, the Cusma Group Terms of Service, and apply to any Employer who accesses or uses the Cusma Group Targeted Ads program, or who otherwise indicates its acceptance of these ITA Terms. These ITA Terms apply to both of Cusma Group’s Targeted Ads Services: 1) Cusma Group Targeted Ads: Brand (“ITA Brand”) and 2) Cusma Group Targeted Ads: Apply (“ITA Apply”). By accessing or using the Cusma Group Targeted Ads program or by otherwise accepting these ITA Terms, you agree to these ITA Terms and to the Cusma Group Terms of Service (the “Agreement”).
Any capitalized terms that are used but not defined in these ITA Terms have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.
- The Program
Use of Cusma Group Targeted Ads (“ITA”) on or through the Site is subject to all applicable Cusma Group terms and policies, including without limitation the Cusma Group Privacy Policy and those instructions provided on the Site, and, if you are using ITA, through our online forms. Cusma Group policies may be modified at any time. With regards to any job or brand advertisements posted on or through Cusma Group through ITA, (“Targeted Ads”), you agree that you are solely responsible for all: (a) ad or job content and target URLs, or any other User Content in the ads (“Creative”), whether provided or generated by or for you, irrespective of whether it is reformatted or the words “Powered by Cusma Group” or similar phrasing appear on the ad; including but not limited to images, photograph(s), text, marks, logos, video, or audio you provide to Cusma Group; and (b) websites proximately reachable from Creative URLs and your services and products (collectively “Your Services”). You shall protect your passwords and take full responsibility for your own, and third party, use of your accounts. You agree that Targeted Ads and Creatives may be placed on any Site, content, or property provided by Cusma Group (“Cusma Group Property”) or may be placed on a third party website, including, but not limited to, mobile apps. By posting a Targeted Ad on or through Cusma Group, you authorize Cusma Group and the third party website on which the ad appears to reformat the Job Ad. Cusma Group or the third party website may reformat the Job Ad, for example, so that the ad can be effectively displayed on a mobile device, a third party website, or certain locations on the Site. You understand that Cusma Group has limited control over ads appearing on third party websites and you accept any risks associated with ads appearing on such websites. Cusma Group makes no guarantees and disclaims all liability and warranties as to the content or nature of third party websites, including, but not limited to, mobile apps, on which Targeted Ads may appear. Target audience membership is based partly on information and criteria provided by the Employer, but the composition of each target audience is determined by Cusma Group in its sole discretion. For example, Cusma Group reserves the right to decide, in its sole discretion, the frequency or number of times an ad is displayed to members of a target audience. For certain ads appearing on third party websites, Cusma Group has limited control over the target audience, and you agree that in such circumstances Cusma Group is not responsible for the composition of the target audience. For ads appearing on third party websites, Cusma Group disclaims all liability and makes no warranties as to the target audience and any related claims, such as claims arising out of or related to individuals who were able to view or were unable to view the ad. In some instances, you may be able to insert your own tracking pixels in ITAs for the purpose of measuring the performance of your ads. This is provided as courtesy, and Cusma Group may disable this option at any time. You are solely responsible for your use of the pixels, and Cusma Group disclaims all liability related to such use. Cusma Group provides no warranty regarding the proper functioning of the pixel, any numbers reported, or that use of the pixels would be error free. You are advised not to rely on the pixel. Any such tracking pixel, or analytics generated thereby, shall not be used to dispute or challenge Cusma Group’s impressions or Apply count, which is binding. You agree not to use the information collected using tracking pixels for any purpose other than for measuring the performance of your ads. For example, you may not use the pixel to profile users or for behavioral analytics. To the extent you decide to use such pixels, you agree to be in compliance with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, privacy and data protection laws implicated by such use. For example, updating your privacy policy where necessary. You agree to defend and indemnify Cusma Group from any claim arising from your tracking pixel.
ITA Apply: In order to participate in ITA Apply, you must either use Cusma Group Apply to receive applications or add Cusma Group’s conversion tracker snippet to the last page of your job application, also known as the post-apply page (the “Post-Apply Page”). The Post-Apply Page on which you add Cusma Group’s conversion tracker snippet shall be determined by mutual agreement between you and Cusma Group. However, please note that if you unilaterally place the conversion tracker snippet on a page other than the mutually agreed upon page, in violation of this agreement, Cusma Group will still count this page as the Post-Apply-Page, charge you for any Applies (as defined below) on this page, and may require you to correct the placement. Any removal of the tracker snippet, or any provision of a method, for Job Seekers to apply to the Job Ad, bypassing the conversion tracker snippet will disqualify you from the program and will entitle Cusma Group to any resulting damages. It shall be your responsibility to inform your job applicants that such tracker snippet is in place. The conversion tracker will attribute an application to Cusma Group any time the Job Seeker started their search on Cusma Group, despite any intervening activity. Additionally, if you receive the ITA Apply services, you may be given the option to include application questions for your Job Listing on an ITA ad as part of your application process. If you request that Cusma Group include the questions you have chosen as part of your ITA ad, you acknowledge that Job Seekers who do not answer your questions in the manner set forth in your instructions may not be permitted to proceed with the application process through the ITA ad, and that you are requesting that Cusma Group perform this action. You further acknowledge that your use of these questions is provided to you via a license to the application questions tool. Cusma Group disclaims all warranties as to the performance of these questions, including but not limited to the accuracy of the Job Seekers’ answers to your application questions.
- Cancellation
Unless otherwise stated in an insertion order or other agreement to advertise with Cusma Group, you may independently cancel online any Targeted Ad at any time (such cancellation is generally effective within 24 hours for any Targeted Ad displayed on Cusma Group). Cusma Group may cancel ITA or these ITA Terms at any time. Cusma Group may modify ITA or these ITA Terms at any time without liability, and your use of ITA after notice that these ITA Terms have changed indicates acceptance of the updated ITA Terms. Sections 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 will survive any expiration or termination of these ITA Terms.
- Prohibited Uses
You shall not, and shall not authorize any party to (a) generate automated, fraudulent or otherwise invalid impressions, applies, or clicks; (b) cause the under reporting, or circumvent or prevent the reporting of an application by any means, including but not limited to, by providing an alternative method for a Job Seeker to submit an application to your Job Ad and bypassing the Post Apply Page; or (c) advertise anything illegal or engage in any illegal or fraudulent business practice in any state or country where your advertisement is displayed. You represent and warrant that (x) all your information is correct and current; (y) you hold and grant Cusma Group, Cusma Group’s vendors, and third party websites, including, but not limited to, mobile apps, on which Targeted Ads may appear all rights to copy, distribute and display Creative (“Use”); and (z) such Use and websites linked from your Targeted Ads (including Your Services therein) will not violate or encourage violation of any applicable laws. Violation of these policies may result in immediate termination of these ITA Terms or your account without notice, and may subject you to legal penalties and consequences. Cusma Group or Cusma Group’s vendors may reject or remove any Targeted Ad, and Cusma Group may disable any Employer’s account, for any or no reason without notice.
- DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
CUSMA GROUP’S PROVISION OF THE PROGRAM AND THE SITE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. WITH RESPECT TO THE PROGRAM AND YOUR USE THEREOF, CUSMA GROUP AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR THIRD-PARTY LICENSORS, DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, SERVICE QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. YOU USE CUSMA GROUP, THE SITE, AND THE PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK. CUSMA GROUP DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SITE OR PROGRAM WILL ALWAYS BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE, SAFE, OR SECURE. Cusma Group and its affiliates, and its and their third-party licensors, disclaim all guarantees regarding positioning, accuracy, or the levels or timing of: (i) costs per apply or per click, (ii) costs per impression, (iii) delivery of any impressions, RSVPs, clicks, or applies, (v) applies, (vi) impressions (vii) conversions for any Creative, (viii) targeted users, (ix) reach of an ad, (x) accuracy or success of any ad targeting or the composition of any audience, (xii) the interest-level of any users who apply to or view your job, or (xiii) clicks. A CLICK ON YOUR JOB AD DOES NOT GUARANTEE INTEREST IN SUCH JOB AD. EXCEPT FOR AMOUNTS PAYABLE PURSUANT TO SECTION 6 HEREUNDER, AND FOR ANY BREACH BY YOU OF SECTION 1, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (a) NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE UNDER THESE IAP TERMS FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER DAMAGES WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY; AND (b) EACH PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER UNDER THESE IAP TERMS IS LIMITED TO AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE TO CUSMA GROUP BY YOU FOR THE JOB ADS GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
- Payment
You shall be charged in accordance with the pricing listed in a separate agreement or insertion order between you and Cusma Group, and based on applies (“Applies” or “Apply”) and/or clicks if you are an Employer using ITA Apply, or based on impressions (“ITA Brand Impression” or “ITA Brand Impressions”) if you are an employer using ITA Brand. Applies are defined as a user visit to the agreed upon Post-Apply Page. For non-video ads (also known as display ads), ITA Brand Impressions are defined as an ad appearing on a page of the Site or a third party site, including, but not limited to, mobile apps, which page has been presented to a user. For non-video ads as well as video ads, ITA Brand Impressions may be counted differently depending, in part, on the website(s) on which they appear, since each third party website or service that facilitates displaying ads on such websites may count impressions differently (Cusma Group relies on these third parties for measuring impressions). However, in all cases, ITA Brand Impression does not guarantee that a Job Seeker has viewed an ad. If you are an Employer using ITA Brand, your price per ITA Brand Impression found on any ITA Brand Insertion Order is defined as the cost per 1000 impressions. If your ITA Insertion Order does not contain an end date, you will continue to be billed until you contact Cusma Group and request to be removed from the ITA Program. If your Cusma Group employer account has a credit card on file for the Cusma Group Ads Program, we will charge that same credit card for your Cusma Group Targeted Ads. If your billing address is in the United States, you shall pay all charges in US Dollars. If your billing address is in India, you may only pay all charges in Indian Rupees. If your billing address is in Brazil, you may only pay all charges in Brazilian Reais. If your billing address is in the Asia-Pacific Region*, you may only pay all charges in Singapore Dollars, Australian Dollars, Japanese Yen and US Dollars. If your billing address is anywhere else, you may be able to pay all charges in the following currencies, which you choose when creating an account: US Dollars, Euros, UK Pounds, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, Swiss Francs, or Japanese Yen. This choice of currencies will be fully subject to Cusma Group’s discretion. Charges are exclusive of taxes, including VAT. You are responsible for all taxes as applicable and appropriate. You are responsible for paying (y) all taxes and government charges, and (z) reasonable expenses and attorney fees Cusma Group incurs collecting late amounts. If you are in Japan, Japanese consumption tax will apply on the import of all Cusma Group products and services. You waive all claims relating to charges unless claimed within 60 days after the charge (this does not affect your credit card issuer rights). Charges are solely based on Cusma Group’s Apply measurements, click measurements, or ITA Brand Impressions measurements. Cusma Group’s measurements may include measurements from third-party vendors. Cusma Group disclaims warranty with respect to measurements provided by third-party vendors. Cusma Group’s determination of the number of Applies, clicks or ITA Brand Impressions shall be binding, even in cases where this number encompasses measurements provided by a third-party vendor. Refunds (if any) are at the absolute discretion of Cusma Group and only in the form of advertising credit for Cusma Group Property. You acknowledge and agree that any credit card and related billing and payment information that you provide to Cusma Group may be shared by Cusma Group with companies who work on Cusma Group’s behalf, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, solely for the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment to Cusma Group and servicing your account. Cusma Group may also provide information in response to valid legal process, such as subpoenas, search warrants and court orders, or to establish or exercise its legal rights or defend against legal claims. Cusma Group shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of such information by such third parties. All withholding tax remittances to the government are your sole responsibility and Cusma Group shall have no liability whatsoever therefore. Invoices may be provided to you via electronic mail.
- Indemnification
You shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Cusma Group, its agents, affiliates, licensors and Partners from any third party claim or liability (including without limitation reasonable legal fees) arising out of your ITA use, Creative, site or Your Services, or your breach of these ITA Terms.

No implied license is granted. Cusma Group reserves all rights that are not expressly granted by this Agreement.
You may develop an Application that interoperates with an Cusma Group API for the use of your employees or independent contractors for your internal business purposes (“End Users”).

You agree that you will be responsible for your End Users’ use of your Application and any API.

By using an Application or Applicant Tracking System (“ATS”) via an API, rather than directly using the Site or an Cusma Group App, you agree to all information provided on the Site or an Cusma Group App. Use of an Application or ATS via an API, rather than direct use of the Site or an Cusma Group App, shall not excuse any lack of information or understanding about Cusma Group’s products and services, where that information is otherwise provided on the Site or an Cusma Group App.
You agree that Cusma Group may monitor your and End Users’ use of any API and may process and analyze submitted information and behavioral data in accordance with the Cusma Group Privacy Policy. This monitoring may include Cusma Group accessing and using your Application. You will not interfere with this monitoring. Cusma Group may use any technical means to overcome such interference. You agree that when you or End Users’ use an ATS via an API, such ATS may access, monitor, process, or analyze submitted information and behavioral data.
You agree to promptly notify Cusma Group in advance of your decision to discontinue use of any APIs that allow Cusma Group to process and analyze submitted information and behavioral data.
Cusma Group reserves the right to place limits on access to any API (including without limitation the number of calls or requests), and monitor usage of the APIs to enforce these limits, in its sole discretion. Such limits may be detailed in the Documentation or otherwise communicated to you by Cusma Group.

Cusma Group may update, modify or discontinue the API at any time and in our sole discretion and without liability to you, and may require you to obtain and use the most recent version. You are required to update your Application accordingly at your sole expense. You acknowledge that Cusma Group’s update to an API may adversely affect how your Application communicates with the Site or an Cusma Group App, and you agree that Cusma Group will have no liability therefrom.

Cusma Group may offer a subscription payment option wherein you will be charged as indicated in an insertion order. RSVPs are defined as a user completing the online RSVP form agreeing to attend your Event featured in any Job Ad. However, an RSVP does not guarantee that a Job Seeker will attend such Event. If your Cusma Group employer account has a credit card on file for the Cusma Group Ads Program or any other Cusma Group service, we will charge that same credit card for your Cusma Group Hiring Platform RSVPs, if applicable.

If your billing address is in Brazil, you may only pay all charges in Brazilian Reais.

Charges are solely based on Cusma Group’s click, RSVP, apply, or impression measurements. Cusma Group’s determination of number of clicks, RSVPs, applies or impressions shall be binding. Refunds (if any) are at the absolute discretion of Cusma Group and only in the form of advertising credit for Cusma Group Property.

All media costs will be billed and paid in such a manner as to assure You will achieve available discounts (volume or otherwise) applicable to purchases made by Cusma Group on behalf of You and actually received by You. For the avoidance of doubt, any discounts applicable to your media spend will be used to the benefit of you, unless otherwise agreed in writing by you and Cusma Group.
If a third party media provider issues any statement, determination or notification of costs which reflects an amount higher than any statement given via the tool, it shall be conclusive evidence (in the absence of manifest error) of the media spend in relation to that media provider for the services to which such statement, determination or notification relates notwithstanding any indication or statement to the contrary given via the tool.

The cost to Cusma Group of media, services or materials purchased overseas may be more or less than the cost anticipated at the date Cusma Group orders the relevant media, services or materials as a result of fluctuations in the rate of currency exchange. Cusma Group will charge you at the rate of currency exchange on the date Cusma Group pays for the relevant media, services or materials.
Cusma Group shall invoice you in accordance with the IO. You agree that Cusma Group may receive invoices from media publishers on your behalf.
