Depending on your location or jurisdiction, Provider may provide job alerts or may use third parties and automated search engines to provide job alerts, matching employment opportunities found on third-party job searching sites with your resume or career profile, job search requests submitted by you, and/or other usage data relating to your use of the Service. Provider tries to match the information available to ensure employment opportunities presented to you in job alerts and match the type of career opportunities desired by you but Provider makes no guarantee that you will receive career opportunities or the job alert leads you desire.
B. Resume Parsing
Provider may also offer additional services that may help you in your application process, such as tracking your resume and facilitating the transfer and interpretation of your resume data by the third-parties involved in your application process (“Resume Parsing”). Upon downloading your resume, you agree that Provider may include a metadata and an identifier into your resume and share it with third-parties such as parsing companies, applicant tracking systems (ATS), and employers for the purpose of facilitating your application process and allowing such third parties, through technology, capture your data, process it, and deliver it to the prospective employer to whom you have submitted a job application.
To see if your resume has been parsed, please go to your Resume Insights page in your Account. Your Resume Insights page may give you data regarding your Resume Parsing activities, which may include (when available) the number of times your resume has been ‘parsed’, dates, and location. Note that all of this information may not always be available. Due to privacy, we are not able to give you the name of the person, entity or third party who is parsing your resume. We do not guarantee the accuracy of the information on your Resume Insights page, nor the time or the location displayed on your Resume Insight page, as some people may be using blockers or VPNs to avoid tracking technologies such as the one in your Resume Parsing service. Each time the third party performs a parsing function over your resume, such activity will be automatically featured on the Resume Insights page and will show the user with the total number of parsing activities for your unique downloaded resume, which carries a specific document id. Your resume may be parsed multiple times within a single application process. Therefore, note that the number of parsing activities in your Resume Insight page is not indicative that different third-parties or employers have parsed or viewed your resume. We encourage you to download multiple resumes to capture on each a unique ID in order to help you track the activities of each of such resumes.
We may also enable a notification system to notify you when your resume has been parsed, which we may do by email or text, should such service become available. Such notifications shall be made (when available) under the terms and conditions contained herein applicable to notifications to our subscribers. You acknowledge that the actual time between a parsing activity over your resume and the time the notification is sent to you on a number of factors, including your wireless service and coverage within the area in which you are located at that time, and that such notices may be delayed, experience delivery failures, or face other transmission problems. Email notices may be affected by Internet outages and other problems impacting the transmission and receipt of email messages.
You may always opt out of the Resume Parsing services and from receiving these notifications. To opt-out please visit your Resume Insights page or contact customer service. The Provider makes no guarantee that you will receive career opportunities or that the notices of Resume Parsing services will meet your requirements.
Please remember that the Resume Parsing services will only become available if you download the resume from this site and share your resume with third parties as part of your application process. The Resume Parsing service is not triggered by Provider and is only triggered upon your direct sharing of your resume with third-parties that are enabled with the parsing technology necessary to process the Resume Parsing services.

You irrevocably waive any claim against us for your use of the Interview check.
The questions are open and we have no control over your answers. Provider makes no effort to review any input for any purpose, other than to provide you with feedback on your answers, including accuracy, legality or non-infringement. You agree that you are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality or non-infringement of your input. You warrant that you are the owner of the input and entitled to enter into these Terms and that the input does not infringe the proprietary or privacy rights of any third party. You confirm that no such input will be subject to any obligation, of confidence or otherwise, to you or any other person and that Provider shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of such input. We require that you do not provide any content that violates any law or that it may be considered to violate any law.
Once you complete the simulation, we will display to you a final score and summary based solely on your answers (hereinafter collectively the “summary”). The summary will be a result of an automatic interpretation of your answers. Provider does not make any representations or warranties as to the summary you receive. Your summary is illustrative and we cannot guarantee that it will reflect the same results in the real-life recruitment process. Under no circumstances will Provider be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on the summary. The Provider makes no guarantee that the score or summary received will meet your requirements.
You can also access the summary through a link that we can send at your request to the mail address you provided. We strongly recommend that you are careful when entering the email address. If you enter the incorrect email address or purposely enter another person’s email address, third parties may access your summary. Please note that once you provide an email address, we have no control over how you or a third party will use your summary. Due to privacy purposes, the link to the report will be active for a limited period. However, once a request to receive a link of your summary is fulfilled, it may have been accessed, stored, and/or copied by third parties and we are unable to delete the information from their systems.
By sharing the link to your summary, you do so at your own risk. You take full responsibility for using the received link for any other purpose than acknowledging your summary. Furthermore, you confirm that Provider has no obligation to pre-screen your summary. However, Provider reserves the right to pre-screen, refuse, alter, or remove any summary at its sole discretion. We may use the summary for any purpose we believe is necessary, especially to improve our service, for marketing services or testimonials.
Please note that in some cases you may use the Interview check as a Visitor. If that’s the case, all provisions set out in these terms that apply to Registered User will apply to you accordingly, in particular Sec. 5-7 of these terms.
9. Payments and Subscriptions.
If you purchase any services that Provider offers for a fee, either on a one-time or on a subscription basis, you agree that Provider’s third-party vendors may store your payment information. You also allow Provider, through such third-party vendors, to use your payment method on file to process your subscription recurring charges and to process un-scheduled purchase transactions made by you through the Site. You also agree to pay the applicable fees for the services you order (including, without limitation, periodic fees for monthly or annual subscriptions, or any additional administrative charge that may be applied) as they become due plus all related taxes, and to reimburse us for all collection costs and interest for any overdue amounts.
Any recurring charge will be fixed at the price agreed to at the time of purchase. The specific billing terms for the services you order will be described on the offer page on the Site. When you sign up for automatic or recurring billing, you will be again notified of the billing terms and how to stop recurring billing on your transaction receipt. By signing up for Provider services with recurring billing, you will be deemed to agree to those billing terms as described specifically on the Site. In the event that your payment method does not successfully process you authorize us to complete a partial payment of the available balance on your card. The remaining balance will be charged on a separate transaction either to the same card or any other card on file. You also authorize us to charge you a non-refundable administration fee of up to $2.50USD or foreign equivalent, for each failed payment or any partial authorization, in order to keep your subscription temporarily active until the full subscription fee can be processed successfully and your subscription renewed.
For un-scheduled purchases, such as individual resume downloads, prints or emails, when such purchases are available, you agree that the Provider will charge your payment method on file for each of such un-scheduled purchases, individually, at the time of purchase. Such individual transactions are final and therefore, if you want a new modified version of your downloaded, printed or emailed resume, it will require a separate purchase.
Provider offers certain premium services such as Resume Review, Resume Writing, Premium Career Report and Cover Letter Writing , which may not be included in the cost of Provider’s basic subscription services. Failure to pay for these premium services, if purchased, may result in the termination of your subscription. Also, trial offers may give you access to certain limited services and include one download, print or email only, with additional downloads, prints, or emails charged separately, during the trial period. Please read your trial offer carefully.
Depending on where you transact with us, the type of payment method used, and where your payment method was issued, your transaction may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices, because of exchange rates. Your transaction may also be subject to foreign currency exchange fees assessed by your bank or card issuer. Provider is not responsible for any foreign currency exchange fees or surcharges and will not make any compensation or reimbursement for charges imposed by your bank or card issuer. Provider does not support all payment methods, currencies or locations for payment. If the payment method you use with us, such as a credit card, reaches its expiration date and you do not edit your payment method information or cancel your Account or the applicable service, you authorize us to continue billing that payment method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. Your obligation to pay fees continues through the subscription period until you cancel your subscription. All applicable taxes are calculated based on the billing information you provide us at the time of purchase.
Provider has the discretion to alter prices for services at any time, subject to the notification terms of Section 3 (Modifications).
10. Cancellations.
You may cancel your subscription anytime by contacting our customer service department or by going to the online cancel page under My Accounts {’ ’} and My Settings . Provider will send an email with a cancellation number to confirm any cancellation request. If you do not receive this confirmation and still wish to cancel, please contact our customer service department directly for further assistance. Provider may issue a refund if notice of cancellation of your subscription is provided before the end of the trial period, if a trial period is offered. Provider does not guarantee refunds after trials are expired.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, If you are a U.S. resident, except as otherwise provided in this section or as otherwise required by law, these Terms involve transactions between the parties in interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC § 1-19 of the United States of America.

24. Arbitration.
Please read this carefully if you are a resident of the United States of America. It affects your rights. {’ ’} Depending on your place of residence, these Terms may not apply to you.
(a) US Residents: To the fullest extent permissible by law, with the exception of disputes pertaining to Provider’s intellectual property rights and certain statutory claims that, pursuant to law, are not arbitrable, any dispute of any kind between you and Provider arising under these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures on an individual basis with no class relief. The arbitrator shall be a retired judge or justice of any New York state or federal court with substantial experience in the internet industry and shall follow New York substantive law in adjudicating the dispute, except that this Section 24 shall be construed as a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). You and we agree that we intend that this Section 24 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the FAA. The hearing shall be conducted in the county that encompasses the billing address you have provided to Provider. For any claim in which you seek U.S. $10,000.00 or less, you shall have the choice as to whether the hearing is conducted in person, by telephone, or instead the arbitrator decides the dispute without a hearing. For those claims that the arbitrator determines are not frivolous, Provider shall pay the costs and fees of JAMS and the arbitrator. Provider agrees that it will not seek reimbursement from You for its costs and fees incurred by it in the arbitration. AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND A WAIVER OF THE ABILITY TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN A CLASS ACTION.
(b) Non-Us Residents: If any controversy, allegation, or claim (including any non-contractual claim) arises out of or relates to the Site or these Terms, then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of this Section 24(b) dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. If no such information exists or if such information is not current, then, we have no obligation under this section. Your notice must be sent to us at legal@bold.com. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Provider and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the dispute, though nothing will require either you or Provider to resolve the Section 24(b) dispute on terms either you or Provider, in each of our sole discretion, are uncomfortable. Nothing in this Section will prevent a party from pursuing their claims in Court or another complaint process.
(c) EU Residents: You may have a right to of out-of-court settlement of certain disputes in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 524/2013. Details can be found in Regulation (EU) No. 524/2013 and at: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr . We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in an out-of-court dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
