Terms.

1. About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and First Step Career ("we", "us", "our") about your use of firststepcareer.ca (the "Website") and the services on it. Please read them carefully: they include limits on our liability.

If you don't agree to these terms, don't use the Website.

2. Privacy

Our privacy guide explains how we collect, use and protect your personal information. It forms part of these terms.

3. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We'll post the new version here with its date, and for significant changes we'll let account holders know. If you keep using the Website after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms.

4. Who can use the Website

You must be old enough to work in your province or territory and able to enter into a binding agreement. If you use the Website for a business, you confirm you're authorized to act for it.

5. Your account

• Give accurate information and keep it up to date.
• Keep your password private. You're responsible for what happens under your account.
• Tell us right away if you think someone else has used your account.
• One person or business per account; don't sell or share accounts.

6. Rules for employers

If you post a job, you confirm that:

• the job is real, currently open, and you are the employer or authorized to recruit for them;
• the posting is accurate about the role, pay, location and employer;
• the posting and your hiring follow Canadian employment, human rights and privacy laws, including rules against discrimination;
• you will never charge applicants a fee, or ask them for payment, banking details or identity documents before a genuine offer;
• you'll use applicants' information only to consider them for the job they applied to.

We may review, edit for formatting, hide or remove any posting, and suspend any employer account, at our discretion.

7. Rules for everyone

You agree not to:

• post anything false, misleading, unlawful, hateful, harassing or sexually explicit;
• impersonate anyone or misrepresent who you work for;
• use the Website to send spam, scams or unrelated advertising;
• copy or scrape job listings or user information with automated tools, or overload the Website;
• try to get around our security, or access accounts or data that aren't yours;
• upload viruses or other harmful code.

8. Your content

You keep ownership of what you post: job listings, company details, your profile, resume and messages. You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, display and reformat it to run the Website. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies we must keep by law or in backups for a limited time.

You're responsible for your content and confirm you have the right to post it.

9. Our content

The Website's design, text, logos and software belong to us or our licensors. You may use the Website for your own job search or hiring, but not copy, resell or republish it without our written permission.

10. Other people's content and websites

Job postings and company profiles come from employers. We review employers, but we don't guarantee that any posting is accurate, that a job is still available, or that an employer will hire you. Links to other websites are provided for convenience; we're not responsible for them.

11. Ending your use

You can stop using the Website and ask us to close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account, or remove content, if it breaks these terms, puts other users at risk, or if we're required to by law.

12. Disclaimer

The Website is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises that it will always be available, error-free or secure, or that it will meet your needs. We are not a party to any job offer or employment relationship between employers and job seekers.

13. Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, lost profits or lost data arising from your use of the Website, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $100. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can't be waived.

14. Indemnity

If you break these terms or the law, or your content infringes someone's rights, you agree to cover the reasonable costs, including legal fees, of any claim brought against us as a result.

15. General

If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a term right away, we haven't given up the right to. These terms, with our privacy guide, are the whole agreement between you and us about the Website. They are governed by the laws of Canada and of the province where you live.
