6. Limitation of Responsibility

Search engines, directories, and content are provided as a courtesy by Jobboom, without warranty as to the accuracy or availability of such sites.

Consequently, it is impossible to have full updates at all times. Jobboom therefore cannot be held responsible for limited results, or for the unavailability of a given site.

Moreover, Jobboom cannot guarantee the confidentiality of the information transmitted over the Internet and cannot be held accountable for potential damage caused by the inadvertent disclosure of said information. You therefore accept full responsibility for this issue.

By accepting the Terms and Conditions of Use for Participation and Posting, you withdraw any and all responsibility from Jobboom as to any and all direct or indirect damage that results from the use of said service.

IN SUCH A CASE, neither Jobboom nor its administrators can be held liable for acts of computer hacking nor be blamed for whatever damage or loss that such illegal activity may incur upon the Site member. The Site may on occasion experience failures or outages and some programming issues related to updates or events that are beyond the control of the Site’s administrators.

Neither administrators, nor any member of the organisation can be held liable if a Site member is unable to browse through the Site regardless of the reason that is preventing the ability to browse through the Site, including, but not limited to reasons of misunderstanding, defective telephone line, incompatible modem, defective cable, inadequate configuration, incompatible browser, etc.
