Bond TM’s website offers a professional networking tool. It provides an online platform that connects crew who are looking for jobs with other crew, boat owners, agencies and potential employers seeking to recruit or employ or otherwise retain crew (on their own behalf or on behalf of others) to work on boats or in other roles related to the yachting industry (collectively, the “Services”), which Services are accessible at www.bondtm.com and any other websites through which Bond TM makes the Services available (collectively, the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to comply with and be legally bound by the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service (“Terms”), whether or not you become a registered user of the Services. These Terms govern your access to and use of the Site and Services and all Collective Content (defined below), and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Bond TM. If you do not agree to these Terms, you have no right to obtain information from or otherwise continue using the Site or Services. Failure to use the Site in accordance with these Terms may subject you to civil and criminal penalties. The site and networking services comprise an online platform through which: (a) crew who are seeking work in the yachting industry (“job seekers”) may create profile pages containing, among other things, their personal details, curriculum vitae, details of their work experience and qualifications; and (b) other crew, boat owners, agencies and potential employers (“crew seekers”) may access their profile pages and contact them about job opportunities; and (c) crew seekers may create profile pages (as above) and job listings which contain details of jobs for which they intend to recruit or employ or otherwise retain crew (on their own behalf or on behalf of others); and (d) job seekers may access job listings and submit applications to crew seekers in respect of job listings. You understand and agree that bond tm is not a party to any agreements entered into between job seekers and/or crew seekers and/or any other member and/or third party, nor is Bond TM an employer or employment agent. Bond TM has no control over the conduct of job seekers, crew seekers and other users of the site and services and disclaims all liability in this regard to the maximum extent permitted by law. Certain areas of the Site (and your access to or use of certain aspects of the Services or Collective Content) may have different terms and conditions posted or may require you to agree with and accept additional terms and conditions.
