In registering for an Account on the Website, you agree: (1) to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself; and (2) to maintain and promptly update the information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account.

Clu has the right to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse all current or future use of the Website at any time and for any reason.

Obligations and Rights of Employers

As an Employer, you can find, follow, and engage Job Seekers through the Clu Website.

When you view, send, store or receive information (including Job Seeker personal data) through or using the Website, Clu may, for example, use such information for its internal business purposes including but not limited to data analysis, quality control, or to refine the Website or any other product or service (including to provide better search results and other listings for Job Seekers and Employers), whether via automated means or otherwise.

You shall actively promote equity of opportunity for all Job Seekers you engage through the Website with the right mix of talent, skills and potential and welcome applications from a wide range of Job Seekers, including those who fall within the vulnerable communities as specified in our Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Policy.

You may wish to complete Clu's Inclusive Hiring Verification to engage Job Seekers who come from vulnerable communities rough the Website. When engaging Job Seekers who are protected by our Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Policy, you shall adhere to the guidance of the policy and alert a member of Clu's team if you become aware at any moment of a breach of this policy within 24 hours.

​You may receive messages, emails or email notifications corresponding with your activity on or using the Website. In all cases, such messages or notifications are provided solely as a courtesy. Clu disclaims all warranties regarding 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.

You shall indemnify, keep indemnified, defend and hold harmless Clu, its agents, affiliates, and licensors from any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses (including but not limited to reasonable legal fees), third-party claims or any other liabilities arising out of any Account created by you, any job advert posted directly by you, any message sent by you or any other content or material that is uploaded to, or access via, the Website.

Confidentiality and Data Protection

As an Employer, you agree to keep confidential all information gained from Job Seekers through use of our Website (including but not limited to names, identities or personal information of any Job Seekers), together with all other information which is of a private, proprietary or confidential nature (“Confidential Information”). You agree to (1) not disclose the Confidential Information to any person other than your employees who have a reasonable need to know the information in connection with the potential recruitment of the Job Seeker (and always provided that you ensure that such employees are bound by obligations of confidentiality no less strict than this clause and you remain responsible with their compliance with this clause) and not to anyone outside of your organisation; (2) take appropriate physical, technical and administrative measures to protect the Confidential Information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. If requested, you shall immediately return or destroy (as directed by us) all Confidential Information.

You agree that for the purposes of applicable data protection legislation including but not limited to the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 or similar laws based on your applicable jurisdiction ("Data Protection Legislation"), you are a data controller of any and all personal data that you collect from Job Seekers on the Website and that you will process any such personal data submitted by Job Seekers following the Data Protection Legislation.

Subscriptions

If you upgrade your Account to include a Clu subscription product, we will provide you with the Clu services described on the Website. Access as a Clu subscriber is subject to ongoing payment of relevant fees.

Clu Pro subscriptions are, unless otherwise agreed, for an initial 12-month term, and will automatically renew at the end of the initial term (subject to any agreed pricing changes) for subsequent periods of 12 months, unless you, or we, give 30 days written notice to terminate the subscription at the end of the initial, or any subsequent, term. We will notify you of any increase in pricing at least 45 days before the end of the initial, or any subsequent term. We may, at our discretion, refuse to renew a Clu Pro subscription at the end of the initial, or any subsequent term.

We are confident in the value of the Clu subscription products. We guarantee you will be able to make hires through the Clu platform, and if you have not done so at the end of the subscription term, we will at our discretion, extend the subscription term by an agreed period (the Guarantee). As a condition of the Guarantee, you must: (i) ensure that all your live job vacancies are posted on the Clu platform (excluding those that are not suitable for the Clu platform), and (ii) continue to engage proactively with us throughout the term of the initial term and Guarantee, including by responding to our messages promptly and implementing our reasonable suggestions. For the Guarantee, “making a hire through the Website” means that you identified the relevant candidate on Clu at any time six months before hiring the candidate, or we have evidence that suggests they found or applied to a role at your company through Clu. This can be evidenced by various actions, including but not limited to, advancing a candidate past the Application stage to shortlisting and/or hiring a candidate that saved or applied to a role from your company on Clu. If you circumvent or attempt to circumvent, the Clu platform to communicate with potential hires, then we reserve the right to terminate your account and Clu Pro subscription immediately. Any refunds will be paid to you three months after the end of the subscription term.
