9. The Company's Liability
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.
Not Responsible For User Conduct or Postings.
The Company acts as a passive conduit for the online distribution 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.

The Content may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. The
Company makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability,
completeness, or timeliness of this Site or the Content. The use of the
