1. Job Listings. The JobShelf may make available standardized job listings and other job-related contents for franchised businesses, by linking the job listings to third-party websites (“Job Listings”), through the JobShelf’s platform or otherwise through the Site. Job Listings are created and provided by Indeed Ireland Operations (“Indeed”) over whom the JobShelf exercises no control; you acknowledge and understand that we have no control over Job Listings. Except for certain sponsored, featured or paid placements, the Job Listings contained on, or linked from, the Site are indexed or posted in an automated manner. The JobShelf does not have any obligation to screen any Job Listing and may exclude or remove any Job Listing from the Site for any or no reason. We cannot confirm the accuracy or completeness of any Job Listing or other information submitted by any employer or other user, including the identity of such employer or other user. The JobShelf assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability, for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any Job Listing. You agree that the JobShelf may also provide search options to narrow down Job Listing descriptors by job type (i.e. full-time, part-time, etc.), and such job types are created independently and entirely by Indeed, and are not a direct reflection of the actual Job Listing. If you are an Employer, when you create or post a Job Listing on the Site you agree that this Agreement and all of the JobShelf’s policies, including the JobShelf Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, apply to you and to the Job Seekers using the linked third party sites.

You are responsible for the contents of any Job Listings that you create, any Job Listings that you post. You agree that the JobShelf may reject or remove any Job Listing for any or no reason. You shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the JobShelf, its agents, affiliates, and licensors from any third-party claim or liability (including without limitation reasonable legal fees) arising out of any Job Listing created by you, or posted by you.
