<strong>1. Scope of Application</strong>
The following Terms and Conditions shall apply between the employer advertising on www.jobsrmine.com (portal) (hereinafter referred to as “Employer”) and jobsRmine®, 40 Central Avenue, Sale M33 4JA, United Kingdom (hereinafter referred to as “Portal Operator”).
<strong>2. Services Rendered / Employer-Account / Employer-Profile / Job Advertisements / CV Database</strong>
2.1. The Portal Operator makes a portal available to the Employer, through which the Employer can hire individuals over the Internet using job advertisements. Employers are also able to present themselves through an Employer-Profile. The posted job advertisement becomes part of the electronic newsletter (Jobletter), which is published weekly and which is free of charge to newsletter subscribers.
2.2. In order to utilize the portal, the Employer must first register for an Employer-Account by providing essential contact data. This data is not published. Each Employer (including legal and/or natural persons) may design only one Employer-Account. Natural or legal persons who publish an Employer-Profile and job advertisements on behalf of an Employer are legally equivalent to said Employer.
2.3. Posting job advertisements requires the creation of an Employer-Profile associated with an Employer-Account. The Employer-Profile is published on the portal and is linked to job advertisements published by the Employer. The Employer can choose between a free "basic" Employer-Profile or the "standard" and "top employer" profiles, available for a fee. The included services and costs shall be indicated to the Employer before the Employer-Account order is completed.
2.4. The Employer may use its Employer-Account to edit its Employer-Profile and job advertisements at any time, as well as to deactivate its job advertisements. The Portal Operator can deactivate or cancel the Employer-Profile after receiving an e-mail to this effect from the Employer.
