MATERIALS PROVIDED THROUGH THE SITE ARE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You acknowledge that the Site could include inaccuracies or
errors, or materials that violate these Terms of Use (specifically, the "Code
of Conduct" section). Additionally, you acknowledge that unauthorized
additions, deletions and alterations could be made by third parties to the
Site. Although the Company attempts to ensure the integrity and the accuracy
of the Site, it makes no guarantees whatsoever as to the Site's completeness
or correctness. In the event that such a situation arises, please contact us
at
termsofuse@LenderMarketing.com with, if possible, a description of the

on the Site, as well as information sufficient to enable us to contact you. We

The Site is only a venue allowing for the posting by
employers, recruiters and staffing agencies of available job opportunities at
their companies or companies they represent (hereinafter referred to
collectively as “employers”) and by candidates of their own resumes. The
Company does not evaluate or censor the resumes, job listings or other
information posted to the Site. Moreover, the Company is not involved in the
actual transaction, if any, between potential employers and candidates.
Consequently, we have no control over the quality, safety or legality of the
job listings or resumes posted to the Site, the truth or accuracy of such job
listings or resumes, the ability of employers to hire candidates or the
ability of candidates to fill job openings.
Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult,
the Company cannot and does not confirm that users are who they claim to be.
Because we do not and cannot be involved in user-to-user transactions or
control the behavior of the Site's users, in the event that you have a dispute
with one or more Site users, you release Lender Marketing Inc. (and its
subsidiaries, affiliates, agents and employees) from all claims, demands and
damages (actual and consequential, direct and indirect) of any kind and
nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and
undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes. You
acknowledge that there may be certain risks, including but not limited to the
risk of physical harm and of dealing with strangers, underage persons or
people acting under false pretenses, associated with pursuing relationships
begun on the Internet. You assume all risks related to dealing with other
users with whom you have had contact through the Site.
You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible
for the form, content and accuracy of any resume, job listing or other
material you post to the Site. The Company neither warrants nor guarantees
that a resume or job posting will be viewed by any specific number of users,
or that a resume or job listing will be viewed by any user. We are not to be
considered as an employer with respect to your use of the Site and we shall
not be responsible for any employment decisions made by any entity posting job
listings or resumes to the Site.

CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA")
provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on
the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you have a
good faith belief that materials hosted by us infringe your copyright, you (or
your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or
access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a
physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of
the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly being infringed upon; (b)
identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed upon (or
if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single
notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the
material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing
activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the
material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail
address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the
complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the
manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or
the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is
accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is
authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is
allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright
infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send
us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current
statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see
http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for
details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent
to Lender Marketing Inc., 3 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016, (tel)
212-725-6550, (fax) 212-725-9127, Attention: Vice President & General Counsel.
We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or
counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims
under the DMCA.

arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the Site or any
Site-related services, and waives any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient
forum objections to such courts. In any action to enforce this Agreement, the

written or oral agreements heretofore existing between the parties hereto are
expressly canceled. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or
sub-licensable by you except with prior written consent. Any heading, caption
