Terms of Use

1. All subsequent provisions relate to the Internet project of Experteer GmbH, Munich, that is operated under different Internet domains belonging to Experteer GmbH (including www.experteer.de, www.experteer.at, www.experteer.ch, www.experteer.com, www.experteer.fr, www.experteer.be, www.experteer.it, www.experteer.co.uk) - hereinafter referred to as "Experteer CAREER".
2. These provisions define the conditions under which Experteer CAREER is to be used. These Terms of Use apply for all users of Experteer CAREER, even if they use or access Experteer CAREER from outside the Federal Republic of Germany.
3. By registering with Experteer CAREER, the user bindingly declares to have read and understood these Terms of Use and to agree to them. If he does not agree to them he must refrain from registering. Persons who have not yet turned 18 are not permitted to use this service.
4. Experteer CAREER is an Internet platform that provides users with different services in relation to searching for jobs and establishing contact. Unless explicitly detailed otherwise, all new offers that extend or improve current services - which includes the offer of new services - are subject to these Terms of Use. The services are offered in a design approved by Experteer CAREER and are subject to availability.
5. Experteer CAREER reserves the right to change, interrupt, or withdraw all or individual services temporarily or permanently at any time, and to communicate or not communicate this to the user. The user hereby consents that Experteer CAREER is not liable towards him or third parties for changes, interruptions, or the withdrawal of individual or all services.
6. The Internet services will normally be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Experteer CAREER endeavors to achieve the highest possible availability of the servers and thus the contents and saved messages, but is unable to guarantee this or commit to specific availability percentages.
7. Experteer CAREER is unable to guarantee successful job placements during the contractual term. Experteer CAREER will only endeavor to provide a job placement service but not its success. Experteer CAREER is therefore not liable in situations where a successful job placement is not achieved during the contractual term.
8. Every user must release Experteer CAREER from any liability and from all obligations, charges and claims resulting from libel, insult, violation of personal rights, failure to provide services for users, or damage to immaterial assets or other rights. Any costs incurred by the service or its managers, directors, employees, representatives and/or third parties in this regard for appropriate legal defense or action against the third parties will be at the user's expense.

1. Registration in accordance with § 1 (3) does not involve a transfer of property rights or rights of use, licenses or other software rights to the user. All rights to the software used, IDs, titles, brands, and copyrights as well as other commercial rights of Experteer CAREER remain with Experteer CAREER without restriction. All published work results and information are subject to Experteer CAREER's copyright. This only excludes published work results and information created by the user or a third party and taken over by Experteer CAREER without any changes to be published on the Internet.
2. The user is solely responsible in terms of press law, competition law, and otherwise for the contents he has provided for publication. By registering, the user confirms that he has obtained all rights of use required for placement on the Internet by the owners of copyrights, ancillary copyrights, and other rights to the documents and data he has provided or that he is permitted to freely use them.

1. Experteer CAREER is particularly concerned about keeping user data secure and protected. Experteer CAREER undertakes to comply with the legal data protection provisions and the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG) and the Teleservices Data Protection Act (Teledienstedatenschutzgesetz, TDDSG) in particular.
2. We herewith notify you in accordance with § 33 (1) BDSG as well as § 4 of the Teleservices Data Protection Directive (Teledienstedatenschutzverordnung, TDSV) that Experteer CAREER saves and electronically processes user data in machine-readable form.
3. Personal data are collected, saved, processed, and used as part of the contractual provision of services. Personal data are data that contains details on personal or material circumstances of a specific or specifiable user. Such data are saved electronically. Data are also recorded when Internet pages are called up.
4. Upon request, Experteer CAREER will provide the user with all the information on the data saved relating to the user, free of charge.
5. Experteer CAREER does not pass on any personal individual data to third parties. An exception is, of course, the publication of the profile in which the user entered data for this purpose and the publication of which the user has agreed to by registering. The user can individually determine at any time to which group of persons his profile is to be displayed in full or anonymously.
6. The personal settings that a user enters are saved. This ensures that a user's personal settings are available to him again in every new session (whenever he logs in again). Experteer CAREER normally uses cookies for this purpose. The user's browser permanently saves these cookies on his hard disk. To prevent this, the user can change the appropriate browser settings.
7. If a user accesses the services of Experteer CAREER via a partner site (affiliate), the anonymized data are saved in a cookie. These cookies do not contain personal user data but are only used to maintain the partner program. These cookies are automatically deleted once the user registers. Without registration the cookies are automatically deleted after 30 days.
8. The user consents to Experteer CAREER using his anonymized user data for the purposes of consulting, advertising, market research, and for improving and designing the service in a demand-oriented manner. In accordance with § 4 (3) of the TDDSG, any user can object to the anonymized user data being transmitted to third parties for the purposes of consulting, advertising, and market research as well as to an anonymized usage profile being created. The right of objection can be exercised by sending an E-mail to info.us@experteer.com.
9. The user explicitly consents to receiving E-mail newsletters. These newsletters are an integral part of the service and regularly inform the user about current, labor market-relevant topics and news concerning Experteer CAREER.
