Welcome to the Career Fair platform. A digital solution that connects dream hires to their dream jobs and internships. Our mission has been from the beginning to provide a platform and services that exceed the expectation when it comes to helping students find internships and begin their careers with employers they love and find true fulfillment in.

This Terms of Service applies to your use of thecareerfairapp.com website and the Career Fair Service (collectively “the Career Fair Service” or “the Service”), as well as your relationship with Betzsold Enterprises LLC. (“Career Fair”).

If you do not agree with these Terms, including the Binding Arbitration Clause and a Class Action waiver included below, please discontinue using the Service.

These Terms will change over time. If we make minor changes to the Terms without materially changing your rights, we will post the modified Terms on our website. We will notify you by email, through the Career Fair Service, or by presenting you with a new Terms of Service to accept if we make a modification that materially changes your rights. When you use the Career Fair Service after a modification is posted, you are telling us that you accept the modified terms.

Career Fair takes user privacy seriously and does not permit third parties to bulk collect student data, employer data, job descriptions, or other marketplace information from our Services through the use of automated scripts (“scraping”), similar or other technologies or methodologies. For more information on our privacy practices, please read our Privacy Policy.

Account Creation

You need to have an account to use Career Fair. You can create an account on Career Fair as a student seeking a job or, as an employer looking for exciting new talent. You agree not to misrepresent any information about yourself in creating or using an account.

Companies that offer a 100% sales commission or multi level marketing jobs are not permitted to post their jobs on the Career Fair platform. Companies may submit an application for approval for commission based jobs and upon further review from the executive team they may be permitted to post those positions on the platform. 

Creating an Employer Account: Anyone can create an Employer Account on Career Fair. Upon creation of an employer account the Career Fair team will validate the account owner by cross referencing the name of who created the account with outside sources like company websites, LinkedIn or calling the employer they created the account for. If there is any doubt on whether the account creator does represent the company we will deactivate until further review as we take the ability to contact and recruit students very seriously. In the event that this happens you may email [email protected]. When we can verify that account creators do indeed work for their company we will reactivate the account. Employers initially have access to any student profiles unless they are disapproved by Career Fair, to access student information that the student chooses to share.

You have the option to provide additional information when creating your account, such as a profile picture or professional skills, and to upload documents, such as your resume or transcript. Any information or content you upload directly to the Career Fair Service is governed by these Terms.

You agree that any information you provide through account registration is accurate, current, and complete, and you agree to update your information as necessary to maintain its truth and accuracy.

Also, please note you are prohibited from creating an account for anyone other than yourself, unless you have received express authorization from an employer or client to do so on their behalf.

To create a student account, you must be at least 18 years old to use this Service.

Student Account Guidelines

Your Career Fair profile is your first impression for employers around the country. As a rule of thumb, keep your content and communications on the Career Fair platform professional. Specifically, you are not allowed to post any violent, nude, discriminatory, hateful, or sexually suggestive videos or other similar content via the Service. You are responsible for all content you upload to Career Fair

Career Fair allows you to view profiles and send messages to other students and employers through the Service, including students at other Universities or institutions. You agree not to stalk, defame, bully, harass, abuse, threaten, intimidate, or impersonate other people or entities. You also agree not to use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose, including spam, copyright infringement, identity theft, or fraud.

You agree you will not attempt to restrict another user from using or enjoying the Service and you must not encourage or facilitate violations of these Terms of Service or any other Career Fair terms.

Recording of Career Fair Communications

Wiretapping laws in some U.S. states prohibit recording individuals without their awareness and consent. You may not initiate an audio or video recording of any third party in violation of the law. By initiating any audio or video recording through the Service, you represent and warrant that you have express permission from all persons appearing in the audio or video recording for all potential uses by Career Fair of such audio or video recording where required by law. You agree that you will not hold us responsible and we will not be liable for your failure to inform others that you are recording them and/or your failure to obtain their prior consent.

Continuing Support

Career Fair is committed to helping you succeed in the professional world during school and beyond. After you graduate or leave your University, we encourage you to update your contact information. Any information you share directly with Career Fair is subject to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

Creating an Employer Account

When you create a Career Fair Employer Account, we request contact information, including email address and telephone number, to provide a point of contact for Universities and administrative staff and which will be made available on your public profile. We will not use your phone number to send any commercial or marketing messages to you from third parties. You agree to provide accurate and current information and to correct any misrepresentations immediately upon discovery.

When you create a Career Fair Employer Account, students will have access to that information. Once your account has been approved by Career Fair, you will receive student data through our Service. You are prohibited from disclosing or sharing this information with other parties, and agree to keep student data confidential. You shall only use student data to provide the employer services to the student and not use, sell, or disclose Career Fair Data for any purposes including data analytics, data monetization, advertising, marketing or any other purpose even if such Career Fair Data is aggregated or de-identified. You agree to handle and maintain collected student data with equivalent or superior standards as those described in our Privacy Policy. 

You also agree not to use the Service to send spam or other unauthorized communications, and you agree not to use any collected student data for purposes not authorized by Career Fair. These prohibitions are addressed in further detail below.

Employer Account Guidelines

Through the use of the Service, you will be able to search and filter student results based on a wide range of criteria. You agree to maintain a fair and equitable recruitment process when selecting student candidates. You also agree not to discriminate based on ethnicity, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran status as prohibited by law. You have the ability to contact students directly through the Service. By using this Service, you agree not to stalk, defame, bully, harass, abuse, threaten, intimidate, or impersonate any people or entities.

Employer Accounts are administered by designated Account Administrators. If the employer chooses to allow additional individual employees to access the Career Fair Service through the Employer Account, you agree that the account administrators are responsible for the use of the Service by those individual employees, including requests related to personal data collected from those individual employees. You acknowledge and agree that Career Fair is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of an administrator's organization, which may be different than these Terms or our Privacy Policy.

You acknowledge and agree, moreover, that, to ensure your compliance with these Terms, Career Fair may review the application flow associated with any new post before it becomes available to applicants on the Career Fair Service.

Recruiter Guidelines

Career Fair is excited to offer as many career opportunities to students as possible, including those offered by third party recruiters. However, we do not permit outside services to bulk collect student data, employer data, job descriptions, or other marketplace information through the use of automated scripts (“scraping”), or similar or other technologies or methodologies. To protect our users and their data privacy, moreover, you may not use the data of students or other users for the purpose of marketing any employment opportunities other than the opportunity the applicant applied to through the Career Fair Service. For the same reason, you may not store any student’s or other user’s data for the purpose of (1) marketing employment opportunities to the applicant in the future; or (2) allowing any third party to use the data for marketing or any other reason. Recruiters are also prohibited from requiring students to create an account on a third-party platform unaffiliated with the company or brand providing the employment role. Any violation of these or any other Terms, at our discretion, may result in suspension or termination of the account(s) associated with you or your recruitment service.

No Spam

We want Career Fair to be a platform where companies and recruiters can connect with students and other users in a way that is productive for all involved. To that end, while we allow companies and recruiters to contact students and other users, we do not allow you to use the Service to send unsolicited marketing messages or broadcasts (i.e., spam).

Spam can take many forms, and our rules are meant to address a wide range of inappropriate content or messaging, including:

1. Unsolicited messages that aim to drive traffic or attention from the Career Fair Service to accounts, websites, products, services, or initiatives not directly related to a job opportunity posted on the platform;

2. Bulk or repeated identical messages, or high-volume messages with a low student response rate;

3. Messages that fail to comply with applicable anti-spam laws and regulations.

If we determine that you have sent spam or other unauthorized content, we may take any action we deem necessary to protect our users’ experience or the Service, including demanding that you cease violating these Terms, suspending your student messaging privileges, or suspending or terminating your account(s).

Disclaimer of Warranties

The service, including, without limitation, Career Fair content, is provided on an “as is”, “as available” and “with all faults” basis. To the fullest extent permissible by law, neither Career Fair nor any of its employees, partners, managers, officers or agents (collectively, the “Career Fair parties”) make any representations or warranties or endorsements of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, as to: (a) the service; (b) the Career Fair content; (c) user content; or (d) security associated with the transmission of information to Career Fair or via the service. In addition, the Career Fair parties hereby disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, title, custom, trade, quiet enjoyment, system integration and freedom from computer virus.

The Career Fair parties do not represent or warrant that the service will be error-free or uninterrupted; that defects will be corrected; or that the service or the server that makes the service available is free from any harmful components, including, without limitation, viruses. The Career Fair parties do not make any representations or warranties that the information (including any instructions) on the service is accurate, complete, or useful. You acknowledge that your use of the service is at your sole risk. The Career Fair parties do not warrant that your use of the service is lawful in any particular jurisdiction, and the Career Fair parties specifically disclaim such warranties. Some jurisdictions limit or do not allow the disclaimer of implied or other warranties so the above disclaimer may not apply to you to the extent such jurisdiction’s law is applicable to you and these Terms of Service.

By accessing or using the service you represent and warrant that your activities are lawful in every jurisdiction where you access or use the service.

The Career Fair parties do not endorse content and specifically disclaim any responsibility or liability to any person or entity for any loss, damage (whether actual, consequential, punitive or otherwise), injury, claim, liability or other cause of any kind or character based upon or resulting from any content.

Users hereby give any consents required by law for the services to operate as set forth in these Terms of Service.

Limitation of Liability; Waiver

Under no circumstances will the Career Fair parties be liable to you for any loss or damages of any kind (including, without limitation, for any direct, indirect, economic, exemplary, special, punitive, incidental or consequential losses or damages) that are directly or indirectly related to: (a) the service; (b) the Career Fair content; (c) user content; (d) your use of, inability to use, or the performance of the service; (e) any action taken in connection with an investigation by the Career Fair parties or law enforcement authorities regarding your or any other party’s use of the service; (f) any action taken in connection with copyright or other intellectual property owners; (g) any errors or omissions in the service’s operation; or (h) any damage to any user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment or technology including, without limitation, damage from any security breach or from any virus, bugs, tampering, fraud, error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer line or network failure or any other technical or other malfunction, including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill, loss of data, work stoppage, accuracy of results, or computer failure or malfunction, even if foreseeable or even if the Career Fair parties have been advised of or should have known of the possibility of such damages, whether in an action of contract, negligence, strict liability or tort (including, without limitation, whether caused in whole or in part by negligence, acts of god, telecommunications failure, or theft or destruction of the service). In no event will the Career Fair parties be liable to you or anyone else for loss, damage or injury, including, without limitation, death or personal injury. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event will the Career Fair parties total liability to you for all damages, losses or causes of action exceed one hundred United States dollars ($100.00).

You agree that in the event you incur any damages, losses or injuries that arise out of Career Fair’s acts or omissions, the damages, if any, caused to you are not irreparable or sufficient to entitle you to an injunction preventing any exploitation of any web site, service, property, product or other content owned or controlled by the Career Fair parties, and you will have no rights to enjoin or restrain the development, production, distribution, advertising, exhibition or exploitation of any web site, property, product, service, or other content owned or controlled by the Career Fair parties.

By accessing the service, you understand that you may be waiving rights with respect to claims that are at this time unknown or unsuspected, and in accordance with such waiver, you acknowledge that you have read and understand, and hereby expressly waive, the benefits of section 1542 of the civil code of California, and any similar law of any state or territory, which provides as follows: “a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

Career Fair is not responsible for the actions, content, information, or data of third parties, and you release us, our directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with any claim you have against any such third parties.

Indemnification

Unless prohibited by law, You (and also any third party for whom you operate an account or activity on the Service) agree to defend (at Career Fair’s request), indemnify and hold the Career Fair Parties harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with any of the following (including as a result of your direct activities on the Service or those conducted on your behalf): (i) your Content or your access to or use of the Service; (ii) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms of Service; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right; (iv) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances or orders of any governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities; or (v) any misrepresentation made by you. You will cooperate as fully required by Career Fair in the defense of any claim. Career Fair reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of Career Fair.

Dispute Resolution

You agree that any dispute between you and Career Fair arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service, the Career Fair Service, or any other Career Fair products or services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.

Governing Law: The Terms of Service and the resolution of any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

Informal Dispute Resolution: We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Career Fair, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us here. We'll try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or Career Fair may bring a formal proceeding.

We Both Agree To Arbitrate: You and Career Fair agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate: You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting us here within 30 days of first accepting these Terms of Service and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement. Arbitration Procedures: The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, San Francisco, California, or any other location we agree to.

Arbitration Fees: The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Career Fair will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than $75,000. Career Fair will not seek its attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above, either you or Career Fair (1) may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in San Francisco, California, or any United States county where you live or work and seek an amount up to the jurisdictional limit for individuals in such small claims court (notwithstanding any limitation on such damages set forth herein), or (2) may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief (including, in the case of Career Fair, to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Career Fair products or Career Fair Service), or for infringement or material breach of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights).

No Class Actions: You may only resolve Disputes with Career Fair on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren't allowed under our agreement.

Judicial Forum for Disputes: In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Career Fair agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of San Francisco County, California. Both you and Career Fair consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.

Limitation on Claims: Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Career Fair products or Career Fair Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.

Governing Law & Venue

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

If any provision of these Terms of Service is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Service and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Career Fair’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.

Entire Agreement

If you are using the Service on behalf of a legal entity, you represent that you are authorized to enter into an agreement on behalf of that legal entity. These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Career Fair and governs your use of the Service, unless you have a separate signed agreement with Career Fair that states it supersedes this Terms of Service.

You will not assign the Terms of Service or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Career Fair. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent of Career Fair will be null and void. Career Fair may assign these Terms of Service or any rights hereunder without your consent.
