NursingJobs.com Is Only A Venue. The Site acts
as a venue for employers to post job opportunities and for candidates
to apply. The Company is not involved in the actual transaction
between employers and candidates. As a result, the Company has no
control over the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or resumes
posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings or posting by employers
or applicants, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities
to candidates or the ability of candidates 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 with other users with
whom you come in contact through the NursingJobs.com Site.
Release from User-to-User Dealings. Because
user authentication on the Internet is difficult, NursingJobs.com
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 NursingJobs.com, in the
event that 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 §1542, 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 NursingJobs.com Site. 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 Site.

and publication of user-submitted information and has no obligation
to screen communications or information in advance and is not responsible
for screening or monitoring Content posted by users. If notified
by a user of communications which allegedly do not conform to this
Terms of Use, the Company may investigate the allegation and determine
in good faith and its sole discretion whether to remove or request
the removal of the communication. The Company has no liability or
responsibility to users for performance or nonperformance of such
activities. The Company reserves the right to expel users and prevent
their further access to the Site for violating the Terms of Use
or the law and the right to remove communications which are abusive,
illegal, or disruptive. The Company may take any action at any time
with respect to user-submitted information that it deems necessary
or appropriate in its sole discretion if it believes it may create
liability for the Company, harm other Users or may cause the Company
to lose (in whole or in part) the services of its ISPs or other
suppliers.
