Introduction

Contract

When you use our Services you agree to all of these terms. Your use of our Services is also subject to our Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy, which covers how we collect, use, share, and store your personal information.

By creating a Plastics Postings account or accessing or using our Services (described below), you are agreeing to enter into a legally binding contract with Plastics Postings (even if you are using third party credentials or using our Services on behalf of a company). If you do not agree to this Contract (“Contract” or “User Agreement”), do not create an account or access or otherwise use any of our Services. If you wish to terminate this Contract at any time, you can do so by closing your account and no longer accessing or using our Services.

Services

This Contract applies to PlasticsPostings.com, Plastics Postings-branded apps, and other Plastics Postings-related sites, apps, communications, and other services that state that they are offered under this Contract (“Services”), including the offsite collection of data for those Services, such as via our ads and any sharing plugins.

Plastics Postings

You are entering into this Contract with Plastics Postings (also referred to as “we” and “us”).
As a Visitor or Member of our Services, the collection, use, and sharing of your personal data is subject to our Privacy Policy, our Cookie Policy and other documents referenced in our Privacy Policy, and updates. You acknowledge and have read our Privacy Policy.

Members and Visitors

This Contract applies to Members and Visitors.

Our registered users (“Members”) can create professional resumes, engage with businesses, and explore job postings. Businesses can create company profiles and post job opportunities. Some content and data on our Services may be viewable to non-Members (“Visitors”).

Our platform is intended for U.S.-based candidates and companies only. By using our Services, you confirm that you are located in the United States. Accounts created by users outside the United States will be removed.

Changes

We may make changes to this Contract.

We may modify this Contract, our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy from time to time. If required by applicable law or we make material changes to this Contract, we will provide you notice through our Services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. We agree that changes cannot be retroactive. If you object to any of these changes, you may close your account. Your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these terms means that you are consenting to the updated terms as of their effective date.

Obligations

Service Eligibility

Here are the promises you make to us in this Contract:

You’re eligible to enter into this Contract and you are at least our “Minimum Age.”

To use the Services, you agree that: (1) you must be the “Minimum Age” (defined below) or older; (2) you will only have one Plastics Postings account, which must be in your real name; and (3) you are not already restricted by Plastics Postings from using the Services. Creating an account with false information is a violation of our terms, including accounts registered on behalf of others or persons under the age of 18.

“Minimum Age” means 18 years old. However, if law requires that you must be older in order for Plastics Postings to lawfully provide the Services to you without parental consent (including using of your personal data) then the Minimum Age is such older age.

Your Account

You’ll keep your password a secret.

You will not share an account with anyone else and will follow our rules and the law.

Members are account holders. You agree to: (1) use a strong password and keep it confidential; (2) not transfer any part of your account (e.g., connections) and (3) follow the law and our list of Dos and Don’ts and Professional Community Policies. You are responsible for anything that happens through your account unless you close it or report misuse.

As between you and others (including your employer), your account belongs to you. However, if the Services were purchased by another party for you to use (e.g. Talent seat bought by your employer), the party paying for such Service has the right to control access to and get reports on your use of such paid Service; however, they do not have rights to your personal account.

Payment

By purchasing and using our services, you agree to fulfill your payment obligations and consent to the secure storage of your payment information. You acknowledge that applicable fees and taxes may be added to our published prices.

If you choose to purchase any of our paid services (“Premium Services”), you agree to pay all associated fees and taxes. Failure to submit payment may result in the suspension or termination of your access to paid services.

Please note the following:

All payments are processed in United States Dollars (USD). As such, no foreign exchange fees apply.
To ensure uninterrupted service, we may securely store your payment method (e.g., credit card) and continue to bill it, even if the payment method has expired, for any ongoing or future services you may purchase.
For subscription-based services, your payment method will be automatically charged at the beginning of each subscription period for the applicable fees and taxes. To avoid future charges, you must cancel your subscription prior to the renewal date.
All purchases are subject to Plastics Postings’ refund policy.
Taxes will be calculated based on the billing information you provide at the time of purchase.

Rights and Limits

Your License to Plastics Postings

You own all of the content, feedback, and personal information you provide to us, but you also grant us a non-exclusive license to it.

We’ll honor your choices about who gets to see your information and content, including how it can be used for ads.

As between you and Plastics Postings, you own the content and information that you submit or post to the Services, and you are only granting Plastics Postings and our affiliates the following non-exclusive license:

A worldwide, transferable and sublicensable right to use, copy, modify, distribute, publish, and process, information and content that you provide through our Services and the services of others, without any further consent, notice and/or compensation to you or others. These rights are limited in the following ways:

You can end this license for specific content by deleting such content from the Services, or generally by closing your account, except (a) to the extent you shared it with others as part of the Service and they copied, re-shared it or stored it and (b) for the reasonable time it takes to remove from backup and other systems.
We will not include your content in advertisements for the products and services of third parties to others without your separate consent (including sponsored content). However, we have the right, without payment to you or others, to serve ads near your content and information, and your social actions may be visible and included with ads, as noted in the Privacy Policy. If you use a Service feature, we may mention that with your name or photo to promote that feature within our Services, subject to your settings.
We will get your consent if we want to give others the right to publish your content beyond the Services. However, if you choose to share your post as “public”, we will enable a feature that allows other Members to embed that public post onto third-party services, and we enable search engines to make that public content findable though their services.
While we may edit and make format changes to your content (such as translating or transcribing it, modifying the size, layout or file type or removing metadata), we will not modify the meaning of your expression.
Because you own your content and information and we only have non-exclusive rights to it, you may choose to make it available to others, including under the terms of a Creative Commons license.

You and Plastics Postings agree that if content includes personal data, it is subject to our Privacy Policy.

You and Plastics Postings agree that we may access, store, process and use any information and personal data that you provide in accordance with the terms of the Privacy Policy and your choices (including settings).

By submitting suggestions or other feedback regarding our Services to Plastics Postings, you agree that Plastics Postings can use and share (but does not have to) such feedback for any purpose without compensation to you.

You promise to only provide information and content that you have the right to share, and that your Plastics Postings profile will be truthful.

You agree to only provide content or information that does not violate the law nor anyone’s rights (including intellectual property rights). You also agree that your profile information will be truthful. Plastics Postings may be required by law to remove certain information or content in certain countries.

Service Availability

We may change or discontinue any of our Services. We can’t promise to store or keep showing any information and content that you’ve posted.

Plastics Postings is not a storage service. You agree that we have no obligation to store, maintain or provide you a copy of any content or information that you or others provide, except to the extent required by applicable law and as noted in our Privacy Policy.

Other Content, Sites and Apps

Your use of others’ content and information posted on our Services, is at your own risk.

Others may offer their own products and services through our Services, and we aren’t responsible for those third-party activities.

By using the Services, you may encounter content or information that might be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, misleading, illegal, offensive or otherwise harmful. Plastics Postings generally does not review content provided by our Members or others. You agree that we are not responsible for others’ (including other Members’) content or information. We cannot always prevent this misuse of our Services, and you agree that we are not responsible for any such misuse. You also acknowledge the risk that you or your organization may be mistakenly associated with content about others when we let connections and followers know you or your organization were mentioned in the news.

Plastics Postings may help you register for and/or attend events organized by Members and connect with other Members who are attendees at such events. You agree that (1) Plastics Postings is not responsible for the conduct of any of the Members or other attendees at such events, (2) Plastics Postings does not endorse any particular event listed on our Services, (3) Plastics Postings does not review and/or vet any of these events, and (4) that you will adhere to these terms and conditions that apply to such events

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

In the unlikely event we end up in a legal dispute, you and Plastics Postings agree to resolve it in U.S. courts using U.S. law.

You and Plastics Postings agree that the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, U.S.A., excluding its conflict of laws rules, shall exclusively govern any dispute relating to this Contract and/or the Services. You and Plastics Postings both agree that all claims and disputes can be litigated only in the federal or state courts in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, USA, and you and Plastics Postings each agree to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

General Terms

Here are some important details about the Contract.

If a court with authority over this Contract finds any part of it unenforceable, you and we agree that the court should modify the terms to make that part enforceable while still achieving its intent. If the court cannot do that, you and we agree to ask the court to remove that unenforceable part and still enforce the rest of this Contract.

This Contract (including additional terms that may be provided by us when you engage with a feature of the Services) is the only agreement between us regarding the Services and supersedes all prior agreements for the Services.

If we don’t act to enforce a breach of this Contract, that does not mean that Plastics Postings has waived its right to enforce this Contract. You may not assign or transfer this Contract (or your membership or use of Services) to anyone without our consent. However, you agree that Plastics Postings may assign this Contract to its affiliates or a party that buys it without your consent. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Contract.

You agree that the only way to provide us legal notice is at the addresses provided in Section 10.
