1. ACCESS TO THE SERVICE
Recruiterbox Inc. will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the Service is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. However, there will be occasions when the Service will be interrupted for maintenance, upgrades and emergency repairs or due to failure of telecommunications links and equipment. Every reasonable step will be taken by Recruiterbox Inc. to minimize such disruption where it is within Recruiterbox Inc.’ reasonable control. YOU AGREE THAT Recruiterbox Inc. WILL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY EVENT TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SUSPENSION, MODIFICATION, DISCONTINUANCE OR LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICE OR OTHER CONTENT. Recruiterbox Inc. retains the right to create limits on use and storage with respect to the Service in its sole discretion at any time with or without notice.
Subscriber certifies to Recruiterbox Inc. that if Subscriber is an individual (i.e., not an entity) Subscriber is at least 18 years of age. Subscriber also certifies that it is legally permitted to use the Service, and takes full responsibility for the selection and use of the Service. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to use the Service is revoked in such jurisdictions. Recruiterbox Inc. makes no claim that the Service may be lawfully used or that Content (as defined hereafter) may be uploaded or downloaded outside of the United States. Access to Content may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you use the Service from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and you are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction. Subscriber shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment or ancillary services needed to connect to and use the Service, including, without limitation, modems, hardware, software, and long distance or local telephone service.

You are responsible for all Subscriber Content (as defined hereafter) posted and activity that occurs through or under your account (even when Subscriber Content is posted by others). Any fraudulent, abusive or authorized activity may be grounds for termination of Subscriber’s right to Service or to access the Site and may be grounds for potential liability against Subscriber. Subscriber may not post or transmit, or cause to be posted or transmitted, any communication or solicitation designed or intended to obtain password, account, or private information from any other user. Subscriber shall not share his or her password with any other person or entity; violation of this provision will be a material breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate cancellation of the Subscriber’s account.
