Introduction

Joinrs srl manages and owns Joinrs, a platform (website and mobile app) designed to provide a variety of services aimed at improving the overall academic and professional experience of its users.

Joinrs has developed a digital platform available via web and on the mobile application ("Joinrs App"), aimed at offering study tools and promoting the intersection between supply and demand for work. Users looking for work can submit their applications by entering their personal data and any work skills and/or acquired experiences, using the available online forms and optionally attaching their Curriculum Vitae ("CV") and a photo to their user profile. The purpose of publishing photos is to precisely identify the candidate compared to other web users and improve their curriculum vitae. The possibility of including a photo on Joinrs does not replace other Internet services such as personal pages, photo sharing sites, etc. Joinrs recommends that curriculum photos be personal and of quality.

In providing its services, Joinrs disseminates data provided by users. All users have access to a control panel, for which they are fully responsible for the data and other information displayed on the portal. Despite Joinrs providing its services with due care and attention, it is unable to verify and guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or correctness of the information, nor will it be responsible for any errors (including manifest and typographical errors), service interruptions (whether due to temporary failures and/or partial repairs, updates or maintenance of the website or otherwise), inaccurate, misleading or false information, or their failure to complete. Each operator is responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness, and correctness of the information (descriptive).

Users, visitors, and anyone using www.joinrs.com (the "Portal") are subject to the Terms and Conditions set forth below, as well as the related Privacy Policy. In this document, we refer generally to you ("You/User") as anyone using the Portal and, after the first visit, who has started using the services and functions provided therein, thus confirming acceptance of these terms and conditions of use.

You must be at least 18 years old or older to register on the Portal: Joinrs will not accept registrations from minors, nor is it able to monitor the behavior of its registered users. Users (defined below) who register as minors do so at their own personal risk, and Joinrs will not accept any responsibility in this regard, reserving the right to take any appropriate action and/or, in general, against illegal activities on the website and the Portal.

To register a user account on Joinrs, you will be asked to provide "Personal Information" such as username, password, email address, month and year of birth, and other personal identification information in accordance with the Privacy Policy, which you should read before completing the registration and which you must accept in order to register with Joinrs and print for future reference. The user must not share with Joinrs or with Joinrs’s clients or collaborators any sensitive and/or judicial data within the meaning of Article 4, paragraph 1, letters d) and e) of Legislative Decree No. 196/2003. Users who, in exceptional cases, in relation to specific job opportunities or searches, need to communicate sensitive and/or judicial data to Joinrs, must provide such data only with prior express written consent, in accordance with specific provisions.

2. Access to the Portal

To access all the features of the Portal, you will need to register and activate a User Account. You are not allowed to use another User’s Account. During the registration of your account, we ask you to provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activities that take place on your account, so you must keep your account credentials secure; otherwise, you will be responsible for any activity on your account using your login information. You can change your password at any time. Furthermore, you agree to immediately notify Joinrs of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other security breach you may encounter. Joinrs will not be liable for any losses or damages resulting from your failure to comply with this Section 2, nor will it be liable for unauthorized access or violations or any other events arising from User behavior. Additionally, Joinrs may, at its sole discretion, decide to terminate and/or suspend any User Account, even without notice, if it deems it necessary to protect its business interests and/or for similar reasons and/or if ordered to do so by any competent Authority.
You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including, but not limited to, "robots," "spiders," "form fillers," or similar technological devices or programs that access the Portal in such a way as to send a series of request messages to Joinrs’s servers in a time period greater than what a human could reasonably produce in the same period using a normal online web browser. Notwithstanding the above, Joinrs may grant public search engine operators permission to use spiders to copy materials from the Portal solely for the purpose of creating publicly searchable indexes of the materials. However, Joinrs reserves the full right to revoke such exceptions in general or in specific cases, at its sole discretion.
Joinrs allows you to link your User Account to your Facebook account or other social network accounts ("SNS"). When you create a linked account, you can access the SNS and automatically log into the Portal at the same time, and the profile name and image will be the same as the linked SNS, but you can always change the name or profile image on the Portal. Joinrs is not responsible for the operation or functionality of any SNS. Facebook is a registered trademark of Facebook Meta.
You agree that Joinrs, within the scope of its business purposes, has the absolute right and authorization to use your name, voice, image, as well as representations made by you, on any media, worldwide, for the purposes of advertising, promotion, reporting, and distribution of information about the company or the company’s business activity.
After registering as a User, Joinrs grants you permission to use the Portal as set forth in these Terms and Conditions, provided that:
- You will not copy, alter, or distribute any part of the Portal or the Content in any form without the prior written authorization of Joinrs;
- You will not use any third-party software, code, or hardware to alter or modify any part of the Portal and/or its underlying mechanisms.
If you do not agree with any part of this document and/or the related Privacy Policy, you should immediately discontinue using the Portal and you are not authorized to register. If you have already registered, you should contact Joinrs and request the immediate removal of your invalid account. The use of the Portal in violation of this Section 2 will compel Joinrs to terminate your account and/or take any necessary legal action.

3. User Profile and Curriculum

3.1. After registering on the Portal, the User can optionally attach a curriculum vitae ("Curriculum") to apply for job offers. The data and information contained in the attached Curriculum will be processed in accordance with applicable privacy regulations and in compliance with the specific provisions of the Privacy Policy available on the website. Such personal data and information may be used by Joinrs and third-party companies solely for purposes related to these User Terms of Service and Joinrs’s Privacy Policy. The User has the right to access personal data, obtain updates or corrections in case of inaccuracies, and request deletion. In the latter case, Joinrs will automatically delete the information without the need for further confirmation. The user can remove their account and related data at any time through the profile settings page. These rights are exercised through the configuration of the web/app page.

3.2. The data and information included in the CV submitted when the User applies for a job offer will be processed by Joinrs and third-party companies for recruitment purposes in compliance with applicable privacy regulations and according to Joinrs’s specific Privacy Policy. In the event that the data and information included in the User’s Curriculum are not sufficient for Joinrs to provide recruitment services, Joinrs reserves the right to request additional information from the User to complete their profile. Joinrs cannot transfer any data provided by the User to third parties, except for Joinrs’s clients and partners, solely for recruitment purposes. The User is aware that in the event of a lack of express consent to disclose their data to Joinrs’s client companies for recruitment purposes, Joinrs may not be able to provide the service. Furthermore, candidates expressly authorize Joinrs to access their personal information in order to inform them about specific job offers suitable for their professional profile.

3.3. After the creation of the User Account and based on the information provided by the User through their CV regarding education, experience, and professional preferences, the User may be contacted by potential employers or directly by Joinrs, using the email address provided at the time of registration or the contact details included in the uploaded CV. When the User creates their profile, uploads, or updates their CV, they authorize and request that Joinrs sets the profile as searchable on the Site (“searchable”) by default. The User has the option to enable or disable, at any time, the setting that allows companies to contact them directly using the information in their profile or attached CV. This option can be managed freely in the “Settings” section of the user profile. If disabled, companies will not be able to view the User’s contact information or communicate directly with them, except in cases where an application has already been submitted. In fact, non-searchable profiles on the Site are made available only to companies for which the job seeker has submitted an application, started a chat, or provided their CV. It is the User’s responsibility to ensure their profile is accurate and up to date. If a CV or user profile includes content prohibited under this Agreement or for any other reason at Joinrs’ sole discretion, Joinrs may mark the profile as non-searchable or otherwise make it unavailable. Additionally, the system allows companies to initiate a chat with the User: the company may send a connection and contact request, which the User can accept or decline. If accepted, a direct conversation via chat is activated and the company gains access to the User’s contact information. If declined, the chat is not activated and the User’s contact details remain private. The User also authorizes Joinrs to send, via email and other means, alerts and updates regarding Joinrs’ clients, as well as newsletters, job advice, job opportunities, reports and trends on job opportunities, online experiences, and other work or training opportunities. The User may unsubscribe from the newsletter option at any time to deactivate the service.

3.4. Since Joinrs only provides the digital platform and related services, Joinrs cannot be held responsible for the content of any communications sent to Users by potential employers and vice versa, including attached files, images, and photos, which are completely beyond Joinrs’s control.

These links are provided solely for the convenience of the User; Joinrs does not endorse the content of these third-party websites. Joinrs is not responsible for the content of affiliated third-party websites and does not guarantee the content or accuracy of materials on these websites. If the User decides to access linked third-party websites, such access will be at their sole and total responsibility.

8.2. The functionality of the Services may also allow interactions between the Services and a third-party website or online feature, including applications that link the Services or your profile on the Services to a third-party website.

To use this functionality, it is typically necessary to log in to your account on the third-party website. We do not control any of these third-party websites or their content. Neither Joinrs nor its service providers are responsible for the practices of any third party. Therefore, you expressly acknowledge and agree that we make no representations or warranties about the completeness, accuracy, or existence of any advertising, product, or other materials on third-party websites or online features and that your reliance on any such materials is at your own risk.

You are responsible for carefully reviewing and complying with these applicable rules, restrictions, and limitations. You agree not to engage in fraudulent operations, collusion, splitting operations (defined as splitting large orders or sales transactions into multiple individual transactions in order to obtain discounts or multiple payments), or manipulate or otherwise defraud the system. By participating in such promotions, you agree to be bound by the applicable rules and restrictions, and Joinrs, at its sole discretion, may deny payment or benefits to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law (e.g., when it believes improper activity has occurred or when a code has expired).
