Upon the submission of the application your User Data required for the application will be provided to the employer/recruiter or ATS associated with the job.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the resume/CV associated with your account is always updated, current and accurate before you apply to a job advertisement. The rules relating to User Data in Article 3.3 above apply equally if you apply to a job without registration.

6.2. While Lensa provides its best efforts to ensure that the employer / recruiter or ATS posting the job will receive the User Data that you submitted with your application, we cannot guarantee this. Accordingly, we disclaim all liability relating to whether the employer / recruiter or ATS posting the job does not receive your application and/or the User Data that you submitted with it or if the employer / recruiter or ATS posting the job rejects your application and/or the User Data that you submitted with it. If transmission of your application and/or the User Data that you submitted with it has failed, Lensa may but is not obliged to attempt to transmit it again. The rules relating to User Data in Article 3.3 above apply equally if your application and the User Data that you submitted with it has not been received or has been rejected by the employer/recruiter or ATS posting the job.

6.3 You may choose to use our internal apply function. If you choose this, you will enter your User Data into a version of the application that Lensa has created, based on the relevant employer or ATS site, using its own automated process and will authorize Lensa to submit the application on your behalf. To the extent the employer or ATS website for such application requires terms of use to be executed or includes a privacy notice, those will be presented to you for consent and review.

Due to the automated nature of the Lensa internal process, the replicated job application may, in some cases, fail to include certain, non-mandatory questions included in the original application. In such cases, the application submitted on your behalf will not include certain answers and may, as a result, not be considered or be considered less favorably by the prospective employer.

Without derogating from the provisions of Sections 3.2.2 and 6.2 above (which apply equally here), and to the extent permitted by law we disclaim all liability for any (1) illegal nature of any of the questions in the application (2) mistakes in replicating the application or (3) consequences to you as a result of such mistakes.

6.4. If you give us permission, the information you include with the internal apply application will be included as part of your profile and we will use it to pre-populate future job applications to which you choose to apply. You can correct any information in the pre-populated application prior to submitting it. If you wish to correct any of the information you can do that at any time by logging into your user account.

6.5 In cases where completing the application on the site of the employer/recruiter or ATS associated with the job is conditioned on registration with the relevant website and/or acceptance of terms and conditions, then, pursuant to your authorization and your confirmation that you have accepted the terms and conditions of the relevant website and read the relevant privacy notice, if applicable, Lensa will click on your behalf to indicate your acceptance of the applicable terms and conditions. You acknowledge and agree that you are bound by such terms as if you have executed them yourself as solely between you and the website owner, and that Lensa has no contractual privity with the relevant employer/recruiter or ATS associated with the job. You hereby agree to fully assume all liability for any damages relating to any and all claims relating to your adherence, or lack thereof, to such website’s terms and conditions, and agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lensa from any such claims.

6.6. Certain other jobs posted on the Site or Mobile App are links to jobs posted on Third-Party Sites and by clicking to these links you are redirected to the Third-Party Sites where you can apply to these jobs (external application). The rules set forth in point 3.2.2 and 3.2.5 are in particular applicable to our link to and your visit or use of such Third-Party Sites.

In certain cases where the Third-Party Site requires or offers a sign-up screen, this sign up screen may be pre-populated with information we have about you. In such cases, pursuant to our agreement with the relevant Third-Party Site, such Third-Party Site have access to your information only for the purpose of displaying the pre-populated text. If you choose to enroll with the Third-Party Site, the processing of your information by each Third-Party Site is subject to each such Third-Party Site’s terms of use and privacy notice. If you choose not to enroll, the pre-populated information will be deleted.

In other cases, you may click on a Lensa job posting on a Third-Party Site. In such cases, you will be provided with a screen, pre-populated with information that we received about you from the Third-Party Site. We disclaim any liability with respect to the accuracy of this information. You can amend this information or delete it and you can choose whether to sign up to the Lensa Services or continue with the job posting without registration.

11. Dispute Resolution Using Binding Arbitration

11.1 You and Lensa agree to make reasonable, good faith efforts to resolve any dispute before initiating arbitration. However, IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE YOUR CONCERNS AND A DISPUTE REMAINS BETWEEN YOU AND LENSA, THIS PROVISION EXPLAINS HOW YOU AND LENSA AGREE TO RESOLVE IT.

YOU AND LENSA AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN US IN BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN ANY COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. THAT INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO: (I) YOUR USE OF THE SITE, MOBILE APP, OR SERVICES OR ANY INFORMATION GENERATED FROM THE SITE, MOBILE APP, OR SERVICES; (II) DISPUTES RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MOBILE APP END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT; OR (III) YOUR USE OF YOUR ACCOUNT OR THE SOFTWARE. IT APPLIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS ARE BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written notice that describes the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and sets forth the specific relief sought. If you and Lensa do not reach an agreement to resolve that claim within 30 days after the notice is received, you or Lensa may commence an arbitration proceeding. Written notice to Lensa should be sent to: 17 W Gay Street Suite 50, West Chester PA 19380, United States.

An arbitration is a proceeding before a neutral arbitrator, instead of before a judge or jury. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court and provides more limited opportunities for discovery than might be available in court. It follows different rules than court proceedings and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and other relief that a court can award and can also award attorneys’ fees to the extent allowed by the law. The arbitrator will issue a written decision and provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS PROVISION, YOU AND LENSA ARE EACH GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this arbitration provision. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, both of which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879, as modified by these terms. The arbitrator is bound by these terms.

You agree that the arbitration will be administered by the AAA. You and Lensa agree that any in-person arbitration shall be conducted in Chester County, Pennsylvania, unless you advise Lensa in writing that in-person arbitration in Chester County, Pennsylvania would pose an economic hardship or be unreasonably inconvenient for you. In that event, Lensa agrees to conduct arbitration by Zoom or similar technology, or at a mutually agreeable alternative location.

12. Copyright Complaints

12.1. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that content or material on our Services or Site or Mobile App is unlawfully infringing a copyright owned by you, and wish to have the allegedly infringing material(s) removed or access to it blocked, you must provide notice to our Copyright Agent at [email protected]. Please ensure that your notice includes: (i) identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed; (ii) identification of the supposedly infringing material that is to be removed; (iii) information reasonably sufficient to permit Us to locate the material on the Services; (iv) your address, telephone number, or email address; (v) a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material is in fact infringing and/or not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (vi) a statement that, under penalty of perjury, the information in the notification is accurate and where relevant you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner; and (vii) your physical or electronic signature.

12.2. A provider of content subject to a claim of infringement may make a counter­ notification. To file a counter-notification with Us, please provide our Copyright Agent a notice containing the following: (i) identification of the supposedly infringing material that is to be removed; (ii) a statement that, under penalty of perjury, you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; (iii) your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your postal address is located, and that you will accept service of process from the party who submitted the infringement notification or his, her, or its principal or agent; and (iv) the signature, physical or electronic, of you or a person authorized to act on your behalf.

12.3. We will promptly provide the party that provided the notice of claimed infringement with a copy of the counter-notification, and inform the complaining party that We will restore the removed or disabled content within fourteen (14) business days. If We do not receive notice that a lawsuit has been filed within fourteen (14) business days after We provide notice of the counter-notification, We will restore the removed or disabled materials. Until that time, the materials will remain removed or disabled. Before filing a copyright notification with Us, make a careful determination as to whether or not the use of the material at issue is or may be protected by the “fair use” doctrine. You could potentially be held liable for costs and attorneys’ fees should you file a takedown notice where there is no infringing use. If you are unsure whether there is infringement, it may be advisable to seek legal counsel.

12.4. It is Lensa’s policy, in appropriate circumstances, to terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers or are repeatedly charged with infringement.
