4. User Content and submissions

You understand that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, advertisements, messages or other materials submitted, posted or displayed by You on or through the TTM Site ("User Content") is the sole responsibility of the person from which such User Content originated. TIC claims no ownership or control over any User Content. You or a third party licensor, as appropriate, retain all patent, trademark and copyright to any User Content you submit to TIC and you are responsible for protecting those rights, as appropriate.

TIC may review and remove any User Content that, in its sole judgment, violates these Terms, violates applicable laws, rules or regulations, is abusive, disruptive, offensive or illegal, or violates the rights of, or harms or threatens the safety of, Users of any TTM Site. TIC reserves the right to expel Users and prevent their further access to the TTM Site for violating the Terms or applicable laws, rules or regulations. TIC may take any action with respect to User Content that it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion if it believes that such User Content could create liability for TIC, damage TIC’s brand or public image, or cause TIC to lose Users or (in whole or in part) the services of its ISPs or other suppliers.

TIC does not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of User Content, derivative works from User Content, or any other communications (including vacancy and school descriptions) posted by Users nor does TIC endorse any opinions expressed by Users. You acknowledge that any reliance on material posted by other Users will be at Your own risk.

5. Termination following infringement of the copyright or other intellectual property rights of others

TIC respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our Users and content partners to do the same. The unauthorized posting, reproduction, copying, distribution, modification, public display or public performance of copyrighted works constitutes infringement of the copyright owners rights. As a condition to Your use of the TTM Site, You agree not to use any TTM Site to infringe the intellectual property rights of others in any way. TIC reserves the right to terminate the accounts of any Users, and block access to the TTM Site of any Users who are repeat infringers of the copyrights, or other intellectual property rights, of others. TIC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to take these actions to limit access to the Site and/or terminate the accounts of any time, in our sole discretion Users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement, with or without notice, and without any liability to the User who is terminated or to the User whose access is blocked. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that You believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against You, please contact contact TIC.

6. TIC's liability

TIC encourages You to keep a back-up copy of any of Your User Content. To the extent permitted by law, in no event shall TIC be liable for the deletion, loss, or unauthorized modification of any User Content.

The TTM Site acts as, among other things, a place for

employers to post job opportunities and search for and evaluate job candidates and
candidates to post CVs and Profiles and search for and evaluate job opportunities.

TIC does not screen or censor any of this material. TIC is not involved in, and does not control, the actual transaction between employers and candidates. As a result, TIC is not responsible for User Content, the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or CVs posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates or the ability of candidates to fill job openings and TIC makes no representations about any jobs, CVs or User Content on the TTM Site.

While TIC reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove User Content, job postings, CVs or other material from the TTM Site from time to time, TIC does not assume any obligation to do so and to the fullest extent permitted by law, disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.

Note that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, underage persons or people acting under false pretences. You assume all risks associated with dealing with other users with whom You come in contact through the TTM Site. By its very nature other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabelled or deceptively labelled. We expect that You will use caution and common sense when using the TTM Site.

Because User authentication on the Internet is difficult, TIC 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 behaviour of participants on any TTM Site, in the event that You have a dispute with one or more Users, You release TIC (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential and 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 to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The TTM Site and TTM Content may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. TIC makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the TTM Site or the TTM Content. The use of all TTM Site and the TTM Content is at Your own risk. Changes are periodically made to the TTM Site and may be made at any time. TIC cannot guarantee and does not promise any specific results from use of the Site. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by a User from TIC or through or from any TTM Site shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.

If notified of any content or other materials which allegedly do not conform to these Terms, TIC may in its sole discretion investigate the allegation and determine whether to remove or request the removal of the content. TIC has no liability or responsibility to Users for performance or non-performance of such activities.
