1. Scope

1.1 The scope of the contract governed by these Terms is the provision of the above Services by Lionstep.

1.2 The Candidate is a natural person who is interested in entering into an employment relationship or, if expressly stated, a relationship as a freelancer with a Customer of Lionstep. These Terms, in conjunction with any other mutually signed agreement between Lionstep and the Candidate, if any, govern the entire contractual relationship between Lionstep and the Candidate. Contractual terms and conditions of the Candidate outside of those mutually executed by Lionstep and the Candidate are not applicable to this contractual relationship.

1.3 Use of the Application according to these Terms is possible between Lionstep and individual Candidates only. Representatives, head-hunters, or other agents acting on behalf of and for the account of third parties are expressly excluded from using the Application and Services.

1.4 Unless expressly stated in a mutually executed writing, the use of the Application and Services by a Candidate is free of charge.

2. Inclusion in the Applicant Database

2.1 The inclusion of Candidates in Lionstep’s candidate database relies on the correct submission of data, documents, and information required or requested by Lionstep (“Candidate Data”) and is at Lionstep’s sole discretion. Candidates expressly agree that they have no claim to inclusion in the Lionstep candidate database.

2.2 Once a Candidate has submitted the Candidate Data, Lionstep will create an anonymized profile of the Candidate to be displayed by Lionstep to those Customers who have published a job offer (“Job Posting”) via Lionstep and were deemed by Lionstep as suitable matches for the Candidate.

2.3 The complete candidate profile is displayed to Customers only when a Candidate has agreed to release their details to the specific Customer. When and which complete Candidate profiles are displayed to a particular Customer is solely at Lionstep’s discretion. Lionstep has no responsibility to Candidates for expired Opportunities or for delivering applications prior to an Job Posting’s expiration.

2.4 Displaying an Job Posting to a Candidate or asking for approval to display a Candidate’s complete Candidate profile does not mean an individual is or is not qualified for the job. Sharing your Candidate profile does not guarantee you will get an interview or eventually hired.

2.5 Lionstep does not the confirm the accuracy or completeness of every Job Posting

3. Duties of the Candidate

3.1 Candidates are responsible for ensuring that all Candidate Data submitted during the admission or application process are always complete, correct, and up-to-date. Lionstep expressly reserves the right to validate such information through reference checks (which will be performed per job, if at all, not generally).

3.2 Representations that Candidates make to Lionstep are transferable to those Customers with whom Candidates come into contact with via Lionstep. Should such Candidate’s representations prove to be false, the Candidate must indemnify Lionstep for any and all resulting damages.

3.3 Candidates undertake to use Lionstep Services exclusively for the purpose of finding jobs or freelance work. Contacting Lionstep Customers for any other purposes is expressly prohibited.

3.4 Candidates must themselves ensure that they meet all the requirements (e.g. legal residency requirements) for each specific Job Posting.

3.5 Opportunities are created and provided by third parties Customers over whom Lionstep exercises no direct control; Candidates acknowledge and understand that Lionstep has no control over links to or from Job Postings, or any conditions third parties might impose once a Candidate has submitted an application or left the Lionstep Application. If a Candidate leaves the Application and chooses to enter a third-party website or application, Candidates should review and accept any terms and conditions imposed by that third-party.

4. Registration

Should the Candidate choose not to provide this information, Lionstep cannot provide the Services. All data must be accurate, complete and true. Candidate is required to maintain and update such information with current and complete information. Candidates who provide inaccurate, false, or non-current information may, at Candidate’s sole discretion, have their Account suspended or terminated.

4.3 Candidate is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its username and password. Lionstep urges you not to share your login information with others, as this may lead to unauthorized access to your Account and the information therein. Candidate agrees that it will: (1) immediately notify Lionstep of any unauthorized use of your Account; and (2) ensure that you properly log out of the Account at the completion of your session. Candidate is solely responsible for the activity that occurs on or through your Account. Lionstep shall have no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of an Account, the Application, or your failure to comply with these requirements.

8. Intellectual Property and Data Protection Rights

8.1 Lionstep holds the exclusive intellectual property rights of all content, layouts, and databases available on the Application, including the Application itself.

WHILE LIONSTEP TAKES PRECAUTIONS AGAINST SECURITY BREACHES, NO APPLICATION OR INTERNET TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY SECURE, AND AS SUCH, TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LIONSTEP AND ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY RESULT FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, HACKING, DATA LOSS, OR OTHER BREACHES THAT MAY OCCUR ON THE APPLICATION. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO CANDIDATE. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF LIONSTEP AND ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES TO CANDIDATE FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED $1000.

9.2 Lionstep assumes no liability for the accuracy of the information in providing details of a Job Posting with whom the Candidate contacts.

9.3 In particular, the Candidate expressly acknowledges that Lionstep is responsible only for establishing initial contact between the Candidate and the Customer. Lionstep, however, does not act as employer, vicarious agent, representative, or authorized representative of the Customer. The Customers themselves are exclusively responsible for all information contained in their listed Job Postings, as well as for all declarations, decisions, or other actions they conduct in the context of the application process. Lionstep does not confirm the accuracy or completeness of any Job Posting, including the identity of the customer.

9.4 In addition, Lionstep is not liable for any damages of any kind resulting from improper or abusive use of the Application, including but not limited to violation of the Customer Terms, or violations by Customers, or third parties.

LIONSTEP DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE AVAILABILITY OF OR THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE APPLICATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THIS APPLICATION IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT THE APPLICATION DOES NOT VIOLATE ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY PERSON. LIONSTEP DOES NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE APPLICATION IN TERMS OF ITS CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CANDIDATE (AND NOT LIONSTEP) ASSUMES THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE APPLICATION, AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR, OR CORRECTION IF THERE ARE ANY DEFECTS. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY LIONSTEP AND ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE FOREGOING EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO CANDIDATE.

If applicable, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, in relevant part: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

9.6 The Application is a platform designed to facilitate hiring of qualified Candidates. Customers may offer Candidates the opportunity to participate in hiring activities. Candidates understand and agree that Customers are responsible for complying with applicable law regarding employment and hiring practices, including Title VII, and that the Customer indemnifies Lionstep against any and all claims arising from Customer’s use of the Application. Lionstep disclaims all liability and makes no warranty that Customer’s use of the Application complies with Title VII or any similar law.

Lionstep merely provides a platform that enables Candidates and Customers to exchange information at their discretion.
