A. Posting or Viewing User Content The Services may allow Users to post and/or provide content that may be viewable by other Users, including, but not limited to screening requirements, screening questions, screening criteria, company information, a job seeker’s application information, content of messages, resumes/CVs, logos, trademarks, comments, questions, audio and video recordings, and other content or information ("User Content").
User Content is the sole responsibility of the person or entity that provided the User Content. You shall be solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting, providing, or publishing it. You fully understand that job seekers and/or employers will have access to your User Content and You specifically agree that Lead Advisor is authorized and directed to share the same with other User for as long as you maintain an account on the Sites.
B. Prohibited Types of User Content The following list is intended to be illustrative of the types of User Content that are prohibited, but this is not an exhaustive list: You agree not to post or provide User Content that (i) may create a risk of harm to any person or property; (ii) provides instructional information about illegal activities; (iii) involves the transmission of junk or unsolicited mail or other communications, ‘phishing’ or ‘scamming’; (iv) provides links to material that is illegal or offensive, or targets or solicits personal information from anyone under the age of 18; (v) contains any information or content that we deem to be unlawful, harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, harassing, humiliating to other people (publicly or otherwise), libelous, threatening, profane, or otherwise objectionable; (vi) contains any information or content that is illegal (including, without limitation, the disclosure of insider information under securities law or of another party's trade secrets); (vii) contains any information or content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships; (viii) contains any information or content that is false, misleading, or otherwise deceptive; or (ix) violates the Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) or rights of privacy of any third party. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Intellectual Property Rights" means patent rights, copyright rights, mask work rights, moral rights, rights of publicity, trademark, trade dress and service mark rights, goodwill, trade secret rights and other intellectual property rights as may now exist or hereafter come into existence, and all applications therefore and registrations, renewals, and extensions thereof, under the laws of any state, country, territory or other jurisdiction. If you are a Client providing or submitting Job Advertisements, you further agree that such content will not contain any personally identifiable information.
C. No Warranties or Obligations You agree that Lead Advisor makes no representations, warranties, promises, or guarantees regarding any content provided or generated by third parties, including, without limitation, the content of messages, Job Advertisements and resumés. You further agree that Lead Advisor acts as a passive conduit for the distribution, provision, and publication of User Content, and has no obligation to screen or verify the accuracy, legality, legitimacy, truthfulness, or completeness of User Content, and accordingly, you accept that Lead Advisor is not responsible and has no liability for User Content. You understand that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, incomplete, illegal, misleading, false, offensive, constitutes spam, or is otherwise unsuited to your purpose, and you accept that it is your responsibility to verify the quality, accuracy, truthfulness, legality or reliability of User Content, including, without limitation, resumes/CVs and Job Advertisements and content of messages. Your reliance on any User Content is at your own risk.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, although Lead Advisor has no obligation to screen User Content, to the extent that Lead Advisor becomes or is made aware of User Content that may or does (i) violate the terms of this Agreement or any other Agreement you have with Lead Advisor, or (ii) violate any law or regulation, or (iii) violate the rights of third parties, or (iv) create liability for Lead Advisor or otherwise negatively impact Lead Advisor, Lead Advisor reserves the right to reject and/or remove such User Content, and suspend and/or terminate any User Account associated with such User Content.
D. User Content and the U.S. Communications Decency Act Please note Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act ("CDA") (and the equivalent or similar laws in your jurisdiction) is intended to exclude or limit the liability of online service providers such as Lead Advisor, when such online service providers provide or make available access to third-party user generated content (see § 230 (c)(1) which states: 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).
The decision by Lead Advisor to remove or not post or distribute any User Content, does not by itself amount to participation in the creation of such User Content and, accordingly, does not constitute a waiver of the immunity afforded by the CDA. Additionally, § 230 (c)(2) of the CDA specifically provides: "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..."
E. User Interactions and Assumption of Risk You understand and agree that Lead Advisor does not, and cannot, confirm that each User is who he/she/they claim to be. We are not responsible for authenticating Users and therefore it is your responsibility to conduct the appropriate due diligence before communicating or interacting with other Users, including, without limitation, job seekers, employers, staffing agencies, and recruiters. You assume all risks associated with Users with whom you come into contact. If you have any disputes or issues with any User you agree to pursue any remedies directly with the applicable User and you release Lead Advisor, its subsidiaries, and their respective employees, directors and agents from all claims, demands and damages of every kind (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
F. Content Disclosure Lead Advisor reserves the right to disclose User Content and any information related to the provider of such User Content, to third parties in connection with the operation and provision of the Services, to enforce the terms of any agreement that we have with you, to comply with legal obligations and requests from governmental authorities, law enforcement agencies, court orders, subpoenas, etc., and to protect the interests of Lead Advisor where necessary. For the avoidance of doubt, you agree that we have the right to disclose your identity to a third party who is claiming that any User Content you posted, provided or uploaded is fraudulent, false, or misleading or constitutes a violation of the law, or a violation of their intellectual property or ownership rights, or of their right to privacy.
3. USER CONTENT LICENSE GRANT
By posting, submitting, providing and/or otherwise making available any User Content, you expressly grant, and
represent that you have a right to grant, to Lead Advisor, a royalty-free, sublicensable (through multiple layers of sublicensees), perpetual, transferable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, sell, reproduce, adapt, translate, sublicense, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works from and otherwise exploit, all such User Content in whole or in part, and in any form, media or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed, for the purposes of posting such User Content on the Lead Advisor websites, distributing such User Content through the Lead Advisor distribution and publishing network and in job alerts to job seekers, and to promote Lead Advisor and the Services. This license continues even if you stop using the Services.

Further, to the extent you have given Lead Advisor the right to access certain User Content that is present on another website or service you own or control, you give Lead Advisor the right to scrape such website as required to retrieve such User Content for use on the Services as contemplated in the license grants above, notwithstanding any prohibition on scraping set forth in the terms of use or other contractual terms governing such website.
You represent and warrant that you have the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the rights described in this section to User Content that you submit, provide, make available or post, via the Services, that the use by Lead Advisor of your User Content will not violate any law or infringe the rights of any third party, and that your User Content and any other information that you provide to us is legal, complete, legitimate, truthful and accurate.

You acknowledge that Lead Advisor may from time to time issue upgraded versions of the Mobile Software, and may automatically electronically upgrade the version of the Mobile Software that you are using on your mobile device. You consent to such automatic upgrading on your mobile device and agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply to all such upgrades. Any third-party code that may be incorporated in the Mobile Software is covered by the applicable open source or third-party license EULA, if any, authorizing use of such code. The foregoing license grant is not a sale of the Mobile Software or any copy thereof, and Lead Advisor or its third-party partners or suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in the Mobile Software (and any copy thereof). Any attempt by you to transfer any of the rights, duties or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, is void. Lead Advisor reserves all rights not expressly granted under this Agreement.
If the Mobile Software is being acquired on behalf of the United States Government, then the following provision applies: Use, duplication, or disclosure of the Mobile Software by the U.S. Government is subject to restrictions set forth in this Agreement and as provided in DFARS 227.7202-1(a) and 227.7202-3(a) (1995), DFARS 252.227- 7013(c)(1)(ii) (OCT 1988), FAR 12.212(a) (1995), FAR 52.227-19, or FAR 52.227-14 (ALT III), as applicable.

Delinquent payments may bear interest at the rate of one-and-one-half percent per month (eighteen percent per annum) or the highest rate permitted by law, if less, from the payment due date until paid in full. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by Lead Advisor in collecting delinquent amounts, except where the delinquent amounts are due to billing inaccuracies.

You represent that you are authorized to use the Payment Method on your company’s behalf, and you agree to accept an electronic record of a receipt. If at any time your Payment Method will not accept the charge for fees due, you agree that Lead Advisor may suspend or terminate your access to the applicable Services and that you will continue to remain liable for the full payment for such Services even after your access to the Services has been terminated or suspended. By providing any Payment Method, you agree that applicable credit card, debit card and billing information may be shared with third parties such as payment processors and credit agencies, and/or collection agencies for the purposes of checking your credit, effecting payment, collecting payments and late fees if applicable, and for providing the applicable Services to you or in order to enforce our agreement with you.

15. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE
This Agreement contains an Arbitration provision, which will, with limited exception, require you to submit disputes you have against Lead Advisor to binding and final arbitration to the extent that the laws of the jurisdiction where you reside permit the inclusion of Arbitration provision in these Terms of Use. You will only be permitted to pursue claims against Lead Advisor on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding, and you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis.
If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in a jurisdiction in which this Section 15 is enforceable, the following mandatory arbitration provisions apply to you:
A. Binding Arbitration This Section 15 is referred to in this Agreement as the "Agreement to Arbitrate".
By using the Services you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Lead Advisor or its affiliates, whether relating to the Services, this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), or otherwise (each a "Dispute"), shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THIS PROVISIONS DO NOT USE THE SERVICES HEREIN.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party (“Notice”), by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required) or, in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail. Lead Advisor’s address for Notice is: Lead Advisor, LLC., Attention: Legal Department, C/O Dwyer, Spino & Goncalves, LLC, 313 Washington Street, Ste 308, Newton, MA 02458
The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Lead Advisor may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Lead Advisor shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
B. Restrictions You and Lead Advisor agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between Lead Advisor and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
C. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration You and Lead Advisor agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Lead Advisor intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.
16. GENERAL
A. Governing Law and Location The Services are controlled and operated by Lead Advisor from within the United States of America.

Unless otherwise required by a mandatory law, this Agreement and any Disputes shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. An arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Users but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same User to the extent required by applicable law. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all arbitration and other litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction of any dispute between you and Lead Advisor related to this Agreement shall be located in Boston, Massachusetts.
You may not use the Services if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States.
B. Assignment This Agreement shall be personal to you and you may not assign, transfer, sublet, lease or delegate all or any of your rights and obligations, without the prior written consent of the General Counsel of Lead Advisor or his/her designee. Lead Advisor can assign this Agreement or delegate its obligations without restriction other than as required under applicable law.
C. Relationship of the Parties Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as making either party the
partner, joint venturer, employer, contractor, or employee of the other. Neither party shall have or hold itself out to any third party as having any authority to make any statements, representations, or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, that shall be binding on the other, except as provided for herein or authorized in writing by the party to be bound.
Except as set out in this Agreement, only you and Lead Advisor may enforce this Agreement as this contract is between you and Lead Advisor; no other party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

Consequently, Lead Advisor may institute an action to enjoin you from any acts in violation of those provisions, which remedy shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and additionally, Lead Advisor may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which we may be entitled at law or in equity.
