4. Subscriptions, Fees, and Payment
Certain features of the Services are offered on a subscription basis. By purchasing a subscription, you authorize us, through our third-party payment processor, to charge the payment method you provide for all applicable fees, including taxes, on a recurring basis until you cancel.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price unless canceled before the renewal date. Except where required by applicable law (including, where relevant, the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, O.C.G.A. § 10-1-390 et seq.), all fees are non-refundable and non-creditable. Refund or proration requests may be submitted via the Contact Us page and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

You represent and warrant that (i) you own or have obtained all necessary rights to grant the foregoing license; and (ii) your User Content does not violate any third-party right, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights, and does not contain unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or harassing material.

12. Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. JOBSBLOOM DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE FROM ERRORS OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. JOBSBLOOM MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL RESULT IN EMPLOYMENT, AN INTERVIEW, OR ANY SPECIFIC CAREER OUTCOME. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL JOBSBLOOM, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

15. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Except for claims for injunctive relief and small-claims-court matters, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia, before a single arbitrator, in the English language. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AND JOBSBLOOM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending a written notice to legal@jobsbloom.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms.
16. Governing Law; Venue
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia and applicable federal laws of the United States, without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 15, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, for any action not subject to arbitration.
17. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and JobsBloom regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void. We may assign these Terms freely. Notices to you may be provided via email or in-product notification.
