Please see our privacy policy for details of how personally identifiable information is collected and may be processed or shared with others. You will find the complete online Privacy Policy here.

6. Changes and Updates
From time to time, TalentCulture may change these terms and conditions at our sole discretion, and we reserve the right to do without your consent. Any revised terms and conditions will be applicable at the time of posting on the TC Site.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TalentCulture, its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, and employees from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out a breach by you or any user of your account of these terms and conditions or privacy policy or arising out of a breach of your obligations, representation, and warranties under these terms and conditions.

8. No Warranty
The TC Site is provided “as-is” and “as available,” without warranty of any kind, either express or implied including but not limited to: (i) any warranties concerning the availability, accuracy, appropriateness, reliability, timeliness, or usefulness of the content of the TC Site; and (ii) any warranties of title, warranty of non-infringement, or warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. TalentCulture also makes no representations and warranties as to any linked sites, and TalentCulture has no liability or responsibility with respect to your use of such sites. In some instances, content made available on the TC Site may represent the opinions and judgments of bloggers or users, such as Submitted Content. TalentCulture and its affiliates do not endorse nor shall they be responsible or liable for the accuracy or reliability of any statement made on the TC Site by anyone. This disclaimer of liability applies to any damages or injuries caused by the TC Site, including, without limitation, those damages or injuries occurring as a result of: (i) any error, omission, deletion, or defect in the content available on the TC Site; or (ii) any failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer virus, communication line failure, theft or destruction of records, information or data, unauthorized access to, alteration of, or use of records, information or data, whether for breach of contract, tort, negligence, defamation, or any other cause of action.

9. Limitation of liability
You acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, in no event will TalentCulture or its affiliates, including, without limitation, their respective officers, directors, employees, successors and assigns, be liable to you or any other party for any direct or indirect loss, damage, cost, expense or liability of any kind (“loss”) arising in any way out of or in connection with the availability, use, reliance on, or inability to use the TC Site including (without limitation): (i) Damages for business interruption, loss of business and other profits, loss of programs, cost of replacing equipment or software or loss of records, information or data, loss of use of data, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, loss of customers, loss of or damage to reputation, loss of capital, downtime costs, loss under or in relation to any other contract, or loss of anticipated savings or benefits; (ii) any indirect, special, exemplary, punitive, incidental or consequential loss; or (iii) any loss attributable to errors, omissions, or other inaccuracies in the TC Site. The exclusion of liability in this section applies even if TalentCulture shall have been advised of the possibility of such laws. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for particular kinds of loss, in such states or jurisdictions, TalentCulture’s liability shall be limited to the extent permitted by law (i.e. TalentCulture’s liability to you will be the lowest amount that applicable law permits).

10. No waiver
Our election or failure to enforce any provision of these terms of service shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right of TalentCulture.

11. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the state of Oregon and the parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of state and federal courts located in Portland, Oregon, as the exclusive forum for any disputes.
