Please note that, as part of the Services, we provide certain specialized services related to the creation of an electronic profile for each individual who registers for the Site and provides resume information and for individuals for whom a resume is provided to the Site. Such profiles include enhanced features determined by Vunovate Media (each such electronic profile, together with all of other information, video or audio clips, photographs, graphics, images, charts, text, data, comments, postings messages, articles, and other similar content posted by an individual, a “FirstDialog”). Vunovate Media will not screen or review any of the FirstDialog users to determine suitability for employment, nor will it consider any of the individuals for employment with Vunovate Media. Vunovate Media does not act as an agent for any individual submitting his or her resume on FirstDialog through the Site or any company that may view an individual’s resume on FirstDialog through the Site, and nothing herein creates an employer-employee, agency or other relationship between Vunovate Media and such individual.

Vunovate Media is not involved in the actual transaction between a potential employer and any individuals through the Site. Therefore, Vunovate Media has no control over the FirstDialog user or the quality, truth, accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of such FirstDialog, or the ability of a potential employer to offer opportunities to individuals, or the ability of individuals to fill job openings, and Vunovate Media makes no representations or warranties about any FirstDialog user, potential employer, or individual.

The purpose of FirstDialog is to provide a service to facilitate online interactive resume building/personal branding along with social recruitment among Users throughout the world.

We and/or our third-party service provider(s) may make available through the Site services (for example, message boards, chat functionality and comment features on blogs, among other things) to which you are able to post information and materials (each, a “Forum”). PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SUCH FORUMS MAY BE PROVIDED BY A THIRD PARTY, AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUCH THIRD PARTY, AS WELL AS THIS AGREEMENT. PLEASE REVIEW SECTIONS 8, 9 AND 10 BELOW FOR PARTICULAR TERMS THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO YOUR USE OF THE FORUMS.

8. Information on the Site

 
Information made available on the Site or through a Forum (including on any FirstDialog) may be provided both by Vunovate Media and by third-party visitors to the Site. Please note that Site visitors may post material or make statements on the Site or through a Forum (including on any FirstDialog) that are inaccurate, misleading, or deceptive. Vunovate Media neither endorses nor is responsible for any opinion, advice, information, material, or statements provided on the Site or through a Forum (including on any FirstDialog) by third parties, and Vunovate Media is not responsible for any information or materials made available through the Site or through a Forum (including on any FirstDialog) or results obtained by using any such information or materials. Under no circumstances will Vunovate Media or its employees, officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates, agents, representatives, suppliers, or members, be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on such information or materials. The opinions expressed on the Site or through a Forum (including on any FirstDialog) reflect solely the opinions of the individuals who submitted such opinions, and may not reflect the opinions of Vunovate Media.

In addition, Vunovate Media has no control over, and shall have no liability for, any damages resulting from the use (including without limitation republication) or misuse by any third party of information that you voluntarily make public through any part of the Site or through a Forum (including on any FirstDialog resume). IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE ANY OF YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE OR OTHER INFORMATION PUBLICLY AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE OR THROUGH A FORUM (INCLUDING ON ANY FIRSTDIALOG), YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

9. License

 
For purposes of clarity, you retain ownership of any materials you submit through the Site or through a Forum (including on any FirstDialog) (each, a “Submission”). However, please note that we need certain rights to your Submissions to be able to make them available on the Site. As such, you grant to Vunovate Media and its designees a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, fully-paid up, perpetual, irrevocable right, and license, without compensation to you: (a) to use, reproduce, distribute, adapt (including without limitation edit, modify, translate, and reformat), create derivative works of, publicly display and publicly perform such Submission, in any media now known or hereafter developed, for Vunovate Media's business purposes, and (b) to sublicense the foregoing rights, through multiple tiers, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law; provided however, that in each case, with respect to the materials you submit on your FirstDialog, such rights shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations established by you in connection with your creation or maintenance of such FirstDialog (for example, if you set your FirstDialog's privacy setting to Private or Public [i.e., viewable by going to your URL and/or by Networking or search], we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that only those individuals have access to your FirstDialog profile).

As noted above, we need this license to provide the Services available through the Site.  For example, without the right to “adapt,” we would be unable to make technical changes to the Submissions so that the Submissions meet our technical criteria, without the right to reproduce, we would be unable to make copies of Submissions on our servers to post the Submissions, and without the right to publicly perform, we would be unable to make any video clips you post available to other users.  This license is non-exclusive (so you can license your Submissions to others), worldwide (as the Internet is global in its reach), fully-paid up and royalty-free (so that we do not have to pay you for posting your Submissions), sublicenseable through multiple tiers (so that we can use our subcontractors to provide Services).

For each Submission, you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary for you to grant the licenses granted in this section, and that such Submission, and your provision thereof to and through the Site, comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. You further irrevocably waive any “moral rights” or other rights with respect to attribution of authorship or integrity of materials regarding each Submission that you may have under any applicable law under any legal theory.

10. Monitoring.

 
You acknowledge and agree that (a) we reserve the right (but have no obligation) to evaluate each Submission before allowing it to be posted on the Site or any Forum; and (b) we may do one or all of the following, at our sole discretion: (i) monitor Submissions; (ii) alter, remove, or refuse to post or allow to be posted any Submission; and/or (iii) disclose any Submissions, and the circumstances surrounding their transmission, to any third party in order to operate the Site; to protect Vunovate Media and its employees, officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates, agents, representatives, suppliers, and members, and the Site's users and visitors; to comply with legal obligations or governmental requests; to enforce this Agreement; or for any other reason or purpose. While we reserve the right at our discretion to remove any Submissions from time to time, we do not assume any obligation to do so and disclaim any liability for failing to take any such action.

If you wish to make a Transaction, you will be directed to a web page hosted by the Payment Service (or its service providers) and not by Vunovate Media (the “Payment Service Page”). Your use of the Payment Service Page will be subject to the Payment Service’s user agreement and privacy policy, not this Agreement or our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge and agree that Vunovate Media is not, and will not be, responsible or liable for the Payment Service’s services, its site or any acts or omissions of the Payment Service.

The arbitrator's decision shall be based upon the substantive laws of the Court of India without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English and shall be conducted in a manner that preserves confidentiality. The arbitrator's decision shall follow the plain meaning of the relevant documents and shall be final and binding. The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Vunovate Media from seeking any injunctive relief in Indian courts for protection of its intellectual property rights (including the rights of its licensors), and you agree to exclusive jurisdiction by the federal and state courts located in the Court of India, and waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.
