You or a third party licensor, as appropriate, retain all patent, trademark and copyright to any User Content you submit, post or display on or through valid8 and you are responsible for protecting those rights, as appropriate. By submitting, posting or displaying User Content on or through valid8, you grant valid8 a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable license to use, reproduce, adapt, distribute and publish such User Content through valid8.

8. valid8’s Liability.
Among other things, valid8 Apps act as venues for (i) employers to post job opportunities and search for and evaluate job candidates and (ii) candidates to post resumes and Profiles and make themselves available presented job opportunities. valid8 is not involved in, and does not control, the actual transaction between employers and candidates. As a result, valid8 is not responsible for User Content, the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or resumes posted, the truth or accuracy of the job listings, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates or the ability of candidates to perform the duties of any job openings for which they are contacted, and valid8 makes no representations about any jobs, resumes or User Content on the valid8 Apps, aside from that which is specifically created and generated by valid8 Apps. While valid8 reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove User Content, job postings, resumes or other material from the valid8 Apps from time to time, valid8 does not assume any obligation to do so and to the extent permitted by law, disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.

If You are a California resident, You waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
To the extent permitted by law, in no event shall valid8 be liable for the deletion, loss, or unauthorized modification of any User Content. valid8 requests and encourages You to keep a backup copy of any of Your User Content.
Any of the third party products or services purchased through any valid8 App, valid8 does not provide or make any representation as to the quality or nature of those third party services or any other representation, warranty or guaranty of the same.
