By using the Services, you represent and warrant that all information you provide to PHIT is accurate and complete.

Certain features may require you to create an account.

You are responsible for:

• providing accurate and current account information;

You may not use another person’s account or permit another person to use your account except as expressly authorized by PHIT.

PHIT reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain inaccurate information, violate these Terms, or otherwise present a risk to the Services or other users.

If you use the Services as a job seeker, you may create a professional profile, search for employment opportunities, submit applications, communicate with employers, and use other career-related features.

You are solely responsible for the information and materials you submit, including resumes, credentials, employment history, education, skills, certifications, professional qualifications, and other profile information.

You agree that:

• your information will be truthful and not misleading;
• you will not misrepresent your qualifications or professional experience;
• you will not submit information you do not have the right to disclose;
• you will not use another person’s identity or credentials; and
• you will comply with applicable laws when using the Services.

PHIT does not guarantee that you will receive an interview, employment offer, employment opportunity, compensation, or any other particular outcome from using the Services.

PHIT is not your employer, recruiter, staffing agency, employment agency, or legal representative unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement.

You are responsible for independently evaluating employment opportunities, employers, compensation, job requirements, and other information before accepting an opportunity.

If you use the Services on behalf of an employer or other organization, you are responsible for the accuracy, legality, and completeness of information you provide to PHIT, including job descriptions, compensation information, qualifications, benefits, employment classifications, and application requirements.

Employers are solely responsible for hiring decisions, candidate evaluation, interviews, employment offers, compensation, onboarding, employment relationships, and compliance with applicable employment laws.

PHIT does not guarantee the quality, qualifications, accuracy, or availability of any candidate or job opportunity.

PHIT may remove, modify, reject, or restrict a job posting or employer account if PHIT reasonably believes the posting or account violates these Terms, applicable law, or the integrity of the Services.

PHIT provides a technology platform intended to facilitate connections between job seekers and employers.

PHIT does not:

• employ users;
• guarantee employment;
• guarantee that a job posting is accurate or remains available;
• guarantee that an employer will interview or hire an applicant;
• guarantee that an applicant possesses the qualifications represented;
• make employment decisions on behalf of employers; or
• independently verify every representation made by users.

Any employment relationship is solely between the applicable employer and employee.

You may submit, upload, post, transmit, or otherwise provide content through the Services (“User Content”), including resumes, profiles, photographs, biographies, job postings, messages, documents, and other materials.

You retain ownership of your User Content.

By submitting User Content, you grant PHIT a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, transmit, format, modify as technically necessary, and otherwise use your User Content as reasonably necessary to provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services.

This license continues for as long as reasonably necessary for PHIT to provide the Services and to comply with legal, regulatory, backup, archival, and legitimate business requirements.

You represent and warrant that:

• you own or have the necessary rights to submit the User Content;
• submission and use of the User Content does not violate applicable law or third-party rights; and
• the User Content is not knowingly false, fraudulent, defamatory, or misleading.

PHIT does not claim ownership of your User Content solely because you submit it to the Services.

The Services may allow users to submit professional and employment-related information, including resumes, work history, education, credentials, skills, certifications, and other information relevant to employment.

You acknowledge that information submitted through the Services may be made available to employers or other users as necessary to facilitate the applicable Services.

Employers are responsible for their use of applicant information and must comply with applicable privacy, employment, and data-protection laws.

PHIT’s collection and use of personal information is also governed by the PHIT Privacy Policy.

PHIT may provide tools that allow users and employers to identify, search, or filter opportunities based on public health competencies, skills, experience, or related attributes.

Competency classifications, filters, recommendations, and related information are intended to facilitate discovery and may not reflect a complete or definitive assessment of a person’s qualifications.

Users and employers remain responsible for independently evaluating qualifications and job requirements.

PHIT may offer beta, pilot, early-access, or experimental versions of the Services.

Beta Services may contain errors, bugs, incomplete functionality, or other limitations and may change substantially before general release.

PHIT may modify, suspend, or terminate a beta program at any time.

By participating in a beta program, you acknowledge that PHIT may collect feedback, usage information, and other information regarding your experience with the beta Services for purposes of evaluating, improving, and developing the Services, subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, PHIT does not guarantee that beta features will become part of the commercially available Services.
