Employers shall upload in the System only genuine, verifiable employment advertisements from Employer's company or from verifiable companies with which Employer has a direct, explicit, agency relationship. Each Employer shall be responsible for the accuracy, timeliness, and completeness of any employment advertisements or candidate profiles its users place in the System.

Links to Third Party Sites
At times, the System may contain links to third-party web sites, which are not under the control of ProcureServe. ProcureServe makes no representations whatsoever about any other web site to which Subscriber may have access through the System. When Subscriber accesses another web site, User does so at User's own risk and acknowledges that ProcureServe is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, or other materials available from such third-party sites. User also agrees that ProcureServe shall not be liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of using any third party's web site. Mention of third-party companies and web sites on the System is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation.
ProcureServe's Role
ProcureServe's System is an arena for Employers (or their agents) to post job opportunities and candidates to post resumes and profiles. ProcureServe is not involved in the actual transaction between employers and candidates. As a result, ProcureServe has no control over the quality, safety, or legality of the jobs or resumes 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. ProcureServe makes no representations about any jobs, resumes, or content on the System. While ProcureServe reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove content, job postings, resumes, or other material from the System from time to time, ProcureServe does not assume any obligation to do so and disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.
Because User authentication on the Internet is difficult, ProcureServe 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 behavior of participants on the System, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more Users, you release ProcureServe (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.
ProcureServe does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.
ProcureServe is an equal opportunity employer. We will not discriminate and will take affirmative action measures to ensure against discrimination in employment, recruitment, advertisements for employment, compensation, termination, upgrading, promotions, and other conditions of employment against any employee or job applicant on the bases of race, color, gender, national origin, age, religion, creed, disability, veteran's status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
