contact any references, school or faculty associates, or past or present employers
named in your application.

Termination Policy For Users that Infringe on Copyright
or Intellectual Property Rights Of Others
Passion Inc., Simplication and all of our affiliated companies respect the
intellectual property of others, and we ask our users, account holders and content
partners to do the same. The unauthorized reproduction, copying, distribution, modification,
public display or public performance of copyrighted works constitutes infringement
of the copyright owner's rights. As a condition to your use of this Web Site, you
agree not to use the Web Site or any other Passion Inc. Site to infringe upon the
intellectual property rights of others. We will terminate the accounts of any account
holder, and block access to our Web Site and/or the other Passion Inc. Sites for
any user, who is a repeat infringer of the copyrights, or other intellectual property
rights, of others. We reserve the right to take these actions at any time, in our
sole discretion, with or without notice, and without any liability to the account
holder who is terminated or to the user whose access is blocked.
Simplication's Liability
Simplication is an application management and job posting system. It does
not screen or censor the listings offered. The Company is not involved in the actual
transaction between employers and applicants. As a result, the Company has no control
over the quality, safety or legality of the jobs posted, the truth or accuracy of
the listings, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to applicants
or the ability of applicants to fill job openings. In addition, note that there
are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with
strangers, foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretenses.
You assume all risks associated with dealing and coming into contact with users
through the Web Site and/or the other Passion Inc. Sites.
Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, the Company cannot and
does not confirm that each user is who they claim to be. Because we do not and cannot
be involved in user-to-user dealings or control the behavior of participants on
any Passion Inc. Site, in the event you have a dispute with one or more users, you
release the Company (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages
(actual and consequential, direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known
and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of
or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you
waive California Civil Code d1542, which says: A general release does not extend
to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the
time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected
his settlement with the debtor.
We are under no legal obligation to, and generally do not, control the information
provided by other users which is made available through the Web Site and/or the
other Passion Inc. Sites. By its very nature, other people's information may be
offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively
labeled.
We expect that you will use caution and common sense when using this Web Site and/or
the other Passion Inc. Sites.
The Web Site Content may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. The Company
makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness
of any Passion Inc. Site or the Web Site Content. The use of Passion Inc. Sites
and the Web Site Content is at your own risk. Passion Inc. reserves the right at
any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently,
the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. This includes changes
to the fee structure for employers posting jobs as well as managing applications
online. You agree that Passion Inc. shall not be liable to you or to any third party
for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.
You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the form, content
and accuracy of any application or material contained therein placed by you on the
Passion Inc. Sites. Employers are solely responsible for their postings on Passion
Inc. Sites.
The Company is not to be considered to be an employer with respect to your use of
any Passion Inc. Site and the Company shall not be responsible for any employment
decisions, for whatever reason, made by any entity posting jobs on any Passion Inc.
Site.
Simplication does not warrant that the employers using its service will continue
to accept online applications through Simplication for a set period of time.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY PASSION INC. SITE WILL OPERATE ERROR-FREE
OR THAT ANY PASSION INC. SITE AND ITS SERVER ARE FREE OF COMPUTER VIRUSES OR OTHER
HARMFUL MECHANISMS. IF YOUR USE OF ANY PASSION INC. SITE RESULTS IN THE NEED FOR
SERVICING OR REPLACING EQUIPMENT OR DATA, THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE
COSTS. THE PASSION INC. SITES AND WEB SITE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS IS BASIS
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. THE COMPANY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW, DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE COMPANY

OF THE MATERIAL, SERVICES, SOFTWARE, TEXT, GRAPHICS, AND LINKS.
Disclaimer of Consequential Damages
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY, ITS SUPPLIERS, OR ANY THIRD PARTIES MENTIONED ON
ANY PASSION INC. SITE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOST
DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY PASSION
INC. SITE AND THE MATERIAL, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER
