Terms of Service
1. Acceptance of these Terms
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of https://dsohire.com and the related services provided by DSO Hire LLC (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to that organization.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and capable of entering into a binding contract under applicable law to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and are not prohibited from using the Services under any applicable laws.
3. Account registration
Some features of the Services require you to register an account. You agree to: (a) provide accurate, current, and complete information; (b) maintain and promptly update your information; (c) keep your password confidential and secure; (d) not share your account with anyone; and (e) notify us immediately of any unauthorized access. You are responsible for all activity under your account.
4. Acceptable use and user covenants
Your use of the Services is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. The Acceptable Use Policy describes in detail the conduct and content prohibited on the Services. Without limiting that policy, by accessing or using the Services you specifically agree that you will not, and will not authorize any person acting on your behalf to:
- Post job listings, screening questions, interview prompts, or messaging content that solicits, suggests a preference for, or filters candidates based on a protected characteristic (including race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age (40+), disability, genetic information, marital status, pregnancy or family status, citizenship status, or military or veteran status), or that uses coded language designed to signal such a preference.
- Solicit or attempt to extract from any candidate the categories of information that DSO Hire deliberately does not collect (see Privacy Policy, Section 3.4), or otherwise circumvent the platform's hiring-data minimization protections.
- Post fraudulent, misleading, duplicative, or non-existent job listings; misrepresent your organization or affiliation; or impersonate any candidate, employer, or DSO Hire personnel.
- Harass, threaten, defame, demean, or use abusive or hateful language toward any other user, including candidates, employers, or DSO Hire personnel.
- Scrape, crawl, harvest, reverse-engineer, or otherwise extract data from the Services through automated means, or circumvent any access, rate-limiting, or security control.
- Use the Services in violation of any equal-employment-opportunity, wage-and-hour, pay-transparency, anti-discrimination, or other applicable law.
Violation of any of the above, or of the Acceptable Use Policy more broadly, may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account, removal of any postings or content you have submitted, forfeiture of any prepaid subscription fees (no refund is provided for termination for cause), and referral of the conduct to law enforcement or affected parties where appropriate. We are not obligated to provide advance warning, supporting evidence, or detailed reasons before acting on a serious violation.
DSO Hire LLC reserves the right, in our sole discretion and at any time, with or without notice, to review any account, posting, or piece of content; to remove or modify any content; and to suspend or terminate any account that we determine, based on whatever evidence we deem sufficient, has violated these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law, or that poses a risk to other users or to the integrity of the Services.
5. User content
You retain ownership of content you submit, post, or display on or through the Services ("User Content"), including resumes, profile information, job postings, and messages. By submitting User Content, you grant DSO Hire LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, and distribute User Content solely for purposes of operating, providing, and improving the Services and as otherwise permitted under these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
You represent and warrant that: (a) you have the rights necessary to grant the license above; (b) your User Content does not infringe any third party's rights; and (c) your User Content complies with the Acceptable Use Policy and applicable law.
6. Our intellectual property
All right, title, and interest in and to the Services (other than User Content), including the source code, design, logos, text, graphics, and arrangement of all content, are owned by DSO Hire LLC or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. DSO Hire LLC reserves all rights in the "DSO Hire" name, the DSO Hire logo, and the Services' overall look and feel, including any common-law rights that arise from use in commerce. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right or license to use these brand assets, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent.
7. Third-party services and links
The Services may include links to or integrations with third-party services. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or terms. Your use of any third-party service is governed solely by that third party's terms and privacy policy.
8. Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. DSO HIRE LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR HARMFUL CODE. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANY OUTCOME, INCLUDING WHETHER A JOB SEEKER WILL FIND EMPLOYMENT OR WHETHER AN EMPLOYER WILL FILL A POSITION.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DSO HIRE LLC, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.
OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU UNDER OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO DSO HIRE LLC IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DSO Hire LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your User Content; (b) your use of the Services; (c) your breach of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy; or (d) your violation of any third party's rights or any law.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice, including for any violation of Section 4 (Acceptable Use and User Covenants) or the Acceptable Use Policy. Where we terminate for cause, no refund of any prepaid subscription fee is owed, and you remain liable for any amounts accrued prior to termination. You may terminate your own account at any time by contacting info@dsohire.com or using the in-product account closure tool; voluntary termination does not entitle you to a pro-rated refund of fees already paid for the current billing period. Sections 4 (with respect to content already submitted), 5 (license grant in User Content), 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14 survive termination.
12. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Kansas, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Kansas, and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated Terms will be posted on https://dsohire.com with a new effective date and, for material changes, we will provide notice (by email, in-app notice, or banner). Your continued use of the Services after the new effective date constitutes acceptance.
14. General
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign without restriction. Notices to us must be sent to info@dsohire.com and are effective when received.
