SUPPLIER TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE USE, OR MISUSE OF SUCH DATA BY USERS, CLIENTS, OR ANY OTHER USERS FOR THE LOSS OF SUCH DATA UNLESS IT IS CAUSED AS A RESULT OF SUPPLIER OWN NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT OR AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
3. User acknowledges and agrees that Supplier 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. Supplier acts as a passive conduit for the distribution, provision, and publication of User Data, and has no obligation to screen or verify the accuracy, legality, legitimacy, truthfulness, or completeness of User Data, and accordingly, Supplier is not responsible and has no liability for User Data. Users may be exposed to data and content that is inaccurate, incomplete, illegal, misleading, false, offensive, constitutes spam, or is otherwise unsuited to the User’s purpose, and the User accepts that it is the User’s responsibility to verify the quality, accuracy, truthfulness, legality or reliability of User, potential employer, or any other third party data, including, without limitation, resumes/CVs and Job Advertisements and content of messages. Users reliance on such is at User’s own risk.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, while having no affirmative obligation to do so, Supplier reserves the right to reject and/or remove such User Data, and suspend and/or terminate any User Account associated with such User Data.
4. The Supplier does not disclaim liability for any unlawful biased or discriminatory outputs resulting from its own software, artificial intelligence, algorithm, to the extent caused by the Supplier’s own grossly negligent or intentional acts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Supplier disclaims liability for employment discrimination, however arising or occurring, to the extent caused by User’s, potential employer’s or any other third party’s manual usage, evaluation, or manipulation of Supplier products or services.
5. 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 Supplier, 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 Supplier to remove or not post or distribute any User Data, does not by itself amount to participation in the creation of such User Data and, accordingly, does not constitute a waiver of the immunity afforded by the CDA.
