If we terminate your account without cause, and your account is a paid account, we’ll refund a prorated portion of your prepayment. We won’t refund or reimburse you in any other situation, including if your account is suspended or terminated for cause, like a breach or any violation of the Agreement.

Accuracy of the information provided by us and duty of the user to read the original announcement

The Vacancies published in our Newsletter are retrieved from publicly available sources. It could happen that, for technical or any other reasons, we do not provide an accurate list of Vacancies. Some or all Vacancies might be missing and/or show inaccurate information.

The deadlines of the Vacancies are shown as the date published in their original announcements, ignoring times and time zones.

Some Vacancies might have been modified or deleted from their original sources after being retrieved by our systems.

In any case, the User has the duty to read the original announcement in order to see the exact details of the Vacancies.
