Thanks for using Ongig!

We invite you to access Ongig and all of our services, but this invitation is subject to your agreement with these Terms of Use. This document describes in detail our rights and your rights related to Ongig’s services -- thank you for reading them carefully.

Your Account

You must provide us accurate information when you create your Ongig account. Your Ongig account gives you access to Services and functionality we may establish and maintain in our sole discretion. If you connect to Ongig with a third-party service, you give us permission to access and use your information from that service as permitted by that service, and to store your log-in credentials for that service. You may never use another user’s account without permission.

Services

Ongig’s Services focus on delivering the following value:

  • Assisting employers in attracting job candidates. Ongig does this primarily through helping employers create Content (e.g. web pages, email or other and electronic communications) and distributing that Content to potential job candidates.
  • Assisting individuals in finding their next job. Ongig does this primarily by listing jobs on Ongig.com and messaging job candidates who have provided their contact information through the Ongig platform.

Account Security

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Service and for any activities or actions under your password, whether your password is with Ongig or a third-party service. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (e.g. using a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols with your account). You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. Ongig cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements. You must notify Ongig immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.

Invoice charges are due net 30 days from the invoice date unless otherwise agreed to. You are responsible for updating details of your payment information such as updated credit cards.

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and Ongig with respect to the Services, and supersede and replace any other agreements, terms and conditions applicable to the Services. These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights. Ongig’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights in these Terms, and any such attempt is void, but Ongig may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services. Ongig and you are not legal partners or agents; instead, our relationship is that of independent contractors.

Marketing

Ongig’s services center around helping employers market the opportunity to work at their company. Such employers using Ongig grant us the right to use their name, trademark and logo on Ongig’s website, in Ongig marketing materials, and to identify the employer as an Ongig customer. Ongig agrees to remove mention of an employer in our marketing materials based on their written request. Employer further agrees that “Powered by Ongig” or similar marks may appear in forms, web pages and other outputs of our Services.

Modifications

We may revise these Terms from time to time and the most current version will always be posted on our website. If a revision, in our sole discretion, is material we will notify you (for example via email to the email address associated with your account). Other changes may be posted to our blog or Terms page, so please check those pages regularly. By continuing to access or use the Service after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, please stop using the Services.
