IMPORTANT TERMS

These Terms are legally binding and it's important that you read them in full. However, there are a few particularly important pieces of information you need to know:

* The Website provides a venue for people seeking employment (Job Seekers) to connect with prospective employers. Job Seekers are required to create personal profiles (Profiles) that are then hosted on the Website and emailed to employers who have registered with us (Employers). In these Terms, a "User" refers to any person using the Website, whether a Job Seeker, Employer or otherwise.

* We may email relevant Profiles to Employers from time to time, however in no circumstances do we endorse or recommend any Job Seeker or Employer. It is the responsibility of every User to conduct their own due diligence before entering into recruitment activities or an employment arrangement.

* We are not a party to, and are not liable for the performance of, any employment contract nor do we supervise, direct or control any recruitment activities or employment relationships that may result in connection with your use of the Website.

* By registering an account with us, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and are otherwise capable of entering into binding contracts.

* Our Privacy Policy applies to the handling, storage, and use of any personal information you submit to us and forms part of these Terms. You should read our Privacy Policy [insert link] carefully.

* If you have any questions about these Terms, the practices of the Website, or if you would like to give us feedback or notice, you can contact us at kiaora@gowithtourism.co.nz
