As a Job Seeker you agree that the Employer has made the determination to use these tools as part of its application process, and the questions asked are solely determined by the Employer, and are not being asked by TCJB. The Employer is the sole party to determine which answers will qualify a candidate and is solely responsible for the use of the screening tool including any results which are considered to have a “disparate impact”. You further acknowledge that only the Employer is responsible for offering alternative methods of screening, if so required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any other equivalent or similar law.

9.  TCJB's Liability.

The TCJB Sites act as, among other things, a technology company for (i) employers to post job opportunities and search for, evaluate, and screen job candidates and (ii) candidates to post resumes and Profiles and search for and evaluate job opportunities, amongst other TCJB Services. TCJB may not screen or censor the listings, including Profiles offered. TCJB does not control the actual transaction between employers and candidates, it is ultimately the responsibility of the Employer. As a result, TCJB is not responsible for User Content, the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or resumes posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates or the ability of candidates to fill job openings and TCJB makes no representations about any jobs, resumes or User Content on the TCJB Sites. While TCJB reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove User Content, job ads, resumes or other material from the TCJB Sites from time to time, TCJB 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.

TCJB Sites provide a venue for individuals to network for professional and personal purposes and TCJB does not screen or censor the Profiles or User Content on the TCJB Sites. TCJB is not involved in the actual communications between Users. As a result, TCJB has no control over the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of the Profiles or User Content submitted on the TCJB Sites and makes no representations about any Profile or User Content on the TCJB Sites.

By its very nature other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled. We expect that You will use caution and common sense when using the TCJB Sites.

Because User authentication on the Internet is difficult, TCJB cannot and does not confirm that each User is who they claim to be.

17. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration.

If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in a jurisdiction in which this Section 17 is enforceable, the following mandatory arbitration provisions apply to you:

A. Binding Arbitration

This Section 17 is referred to in this Agreement as the "Agreement to Arbitrate". Unless you opt-out pursuant to the opt-out procedures set forth below, you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and TCJB or its affiliates, whether relating to the Services, this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), or otherwise (each a "Dispute"), shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party (“Notice”), by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required) or, in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail. TCJB’s address for Notice is: TCJB LLC, Attention: Legal, 6080 Center Drive, Suite 600, Los Angeles, California 90045.

The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 60 days after the Notice is received, you or TCJB may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or TCJB shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.

Additional Requirements Applicable to Users in the United States or any other Jurisdiction not Expressly Identified Herein: The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, each available at www.adr.org, or such other alternative dispute resolution body and arbitration rules that may be mutually agreed upon by you and TCJB. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by such rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Los Angeles, California, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and TCJB may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

Additional Requirements Applicable to Users in Canada: Disputes shall be referred to ADR Institute of Canada ("ADRIC"), including the ADRIC’s Arbitration Rules, available at: http://adric.ca/, or such other alternative dispute resolution body and arbitration rules that may be mutually agreed upon by you and TCJB. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by such rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and TCJB may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

Additional Requirements Applicable to Users in Australia: Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this contract, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the ACICA Arbitration Rules. The seat of arbitration shall be Sydney, Australia. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The number of arbitrators shall be one. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and TCJB may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

B. Restrictions

You and TCJB agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between TCJB and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

C. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
