§10 Liability

  1. jobvector is not liable for the topicality of the content on partner sites. For technical reasons, there may be delays in posting and deleting jobs. This can mean that a job advertisement that has already been deleted by jobvector can still be found on other channels or partner sites for some time. These delays are not due to jobvector and do not fall within our area of responsibility, but solely the responsibility of the respective partner.
  2. jobvector is not liable for republication on third-party sites that is not controlled by us, e.g. by mirroring or crawling our advertisements. Accompanying false information on the part of third parties does not fall within our area of responsibility and cannot be prevented by us.
  3. jobvector is not liable for the archiving and, if necessary, provision of the job advertisement after the running term by third parties. Please contact the respective publisher of the platform with your deletion request.
  4. jobvector tries to technically and legally prevent unauthorised publication of your job advertisement on third party platforms. The customer agrees to this procedure.

§11 Delay in performance & reimbursement

  1. Delivery and service delays or failures for which jobvector is not responsible or at least not at least grossly negligent do not justify any claim to reimbursement or reduction of the agreed remuneration to be paid for the service.
  2. This applies in particular to the use of unsuitable software and / or hardware for display (e.g. browser) or the failure of communication networks and gateways of other operators. In all other cases, jobvector is entitled, but not obliged, to postpone or extend the service by the duration of the hindrance plus an appropriate start-up time.

§12 Automated data exchange

  1. The automated flow of data to or from the jobvector system is based on certain guidelines, hereinafter referred to as interfaces. Each interface is based on a specification that describes the exact scope of services and the technical details of the interface. The specification is limited to the definition of technical aspects. § 7 applies to the transported content.
  2. jobvector assumes no liability for failures and damage caused by improper use of an interface.
  3. Faults that arise due to an incomplete specification or an incorrect implementation of a specification will be rectified as quickly as possible. jobvector reserves the right to suspend the availability of the interface in whole or in part during this period in order to prevent damage to the overall system. This does not result in a claim for reimbursement or a reduction in performance; In addition, the regulations and conditions described under § 13 apply.
  4. For the purpose of traceability of the data exchange and for error control, the contents or parts of the contents of the data exchange can be recorded in a protocol. To avoid damage and failures, it is advisable to test an interface as part of a test phase in a non-productive test environment.
  5. jobvector reserves the right to further develop interfaces due to new or changed requirements. Therefore, these are subject to a versioning, which is described in the underlying specifications.

§13 Data protection

  1. Please also note our data protection declaration.
  2. By the conclusion of the legal transaction, both sides agree to observe the respective data protection laws. This obligation remains effective even after the end of the contract.
  3. With this clause, the customer acknowledges that his data is stored in a machine-readable form in compliance with data protection regulations and processed for contractual purposes.

§14 Transfer of Contract and Reselling

  1. The customer`s rights under a contract are non-transferable and non-assignable.
  2. An offer from jobvector with other conditions than those specified in the currently valid version of the product overviews, price lists and price labels on the jobvector platforms is only valid under the specified conditions and exclusively for the named customer. The named customer has no right to rewrite the contract to third parties or to use third parties as recipients or vicarious agents.
  3. An agency is anyone who does not purchase products and services from jobvector for direct personal use, but for use by third parties.
  4. The transfer of the contract by third parties on the part of the customer or an agency (reselling) requires jobvectors prior written consent.
  5. An assignment of products from agencies to other agencies is excluded. The agency undertakes to inform every third party (customers or agencies) to whom it assigns products and services from jobvector of the prohibition of further assignment.
  6. If a customer or an agency should nevertheless assign products to another agency, jobvector reserves the right to discontinue the services immediately upon becoming aware of this, without the need for a separate termination. Furthermore, in this case the customer is not entitled to have any costs reimbursed.

§15 Warranty

  1. The basis for the provision of services are exclusively the performance characteristics agreed in writing and the scope of services. The customer must check the services immediately upon receipt and report any defects to jobvector immediately. If he fails to do so, the services are deemed to have been provided free of defects.
  2. The customer`s warranty claims do not extend to defects that only deviate slightly from the agreed product definition.
  3. Performance products such as campaigns can inherently be subject to underperformance, so a guarantee with regard to the desired purpose and defined goal of the performance product is excluded.

    2. The customer explicitly consents to jobvector publishing the customer`s job advertisement in a form adapted to the respective medium with third parties in order to provide a marketing service to increase the number of views on the job advertisement. This publication to increase the views on the job advertisement and all other associated media is an integral part of jobvector`s service and does not require any further consent from the customer. When choosing the cooperation partner, great attention is paid to the quality of the partner.
    3. jobvector reserves the right to change the categorisation, classification and display of the job advertisement at any time. The customer has no right to determine the positioning of the published advertisement in any way, for example in certain categories, landing pages, search results pages or with selected channel partners.
    4. jobvector optimises the content of the advertisements for all display formats and devices so that the applicants receive a suitable view. There may be deviations to the resolution of the layout originally provided by the customer. This is not a limitation of the product, but an expansion of a targeted marketing service.
    5. The entire job advertisement with all its content and technical components is modified by jobvector to a maximum fit for the target group in order to provide a quantitative and high quality marketing service. For this purpose, jobvector is expressly permitted to technically and content-wise adapt the job advertisement provided by the customer and to change the design.

    7. If the customer draws jobvector`s attention to such a “Brand Safety” problem, we will endeavour to stop the publication of the job advertisement in the relevant places as soon as possible.

§2 Campaign-Based Products

  1. With campaign-based products, you can place display, SEA, paid social ads, job ad teasers and retargeting ads on third-party websites on various media channels (“Channels”) in the jobvector partner network. The selection of which ad is displayed on which partner channel is made algorithmically supported by jobvector.
  2. The respective applicants will be included in a specific audience for play based on the data available about them. Whether the applicants were accepted into the most suitable audience, whether they actually fit the job and are interested in the job advertised, is beyond the knowledge of jobvector.
  3. Despite careful checks prior to display, jobvector does not guarantee that the respective advertisement will be shown to the appropriate audience and is not liable in the event of a display to an unsuitable audience. A partial or complete misallocation of the audience does not result in a reduction in the performance of the product.
  4. Applicants can use anonymisation techniques to suppress the assignment to an audience: e.g. by deleting cookies, surfing in anonymous mode, using ad blockers or withdrawing the declaration of consent for data analysis on third-party websites. In such cases, the customer`s advertisement will not be played out to the relevant applicants.
  5. jobvector does not guarantee that the customer`s advertisement will actually be displayed on the websites of third parties in the jobvector partner network in the respective associated and medium-adapted form. The decision of the presentation of the respective job advertisement in a correspondingly adapted format for the respective partner channel is incumbent on the respective operator of this partner channel and not on jobvector. It is also up to the respective operator of the partner channel whether he does not play the customer`s campaign for technical, content or other reasons. jobvector has no influence on the implementation of the customer`s campaigns on third party platforms.
  6. jobvector can request payment in advance for products with external campaigns. The campaigns are only started after receipt of payment.

    5. All ad permutations and A / B test variants
  10. Product purchase includes running the campaign. When purchasing a product, the customer explicitly does not acquire the right to the content of the campaign.
  11. Copyright also includes the results of a machine algorithmic calculation.
