Indeed Flex – User License 

Last updated August 28, 2022 

Welcome to Indeed Flex, Inc. (“Flex” or “us”)! We are an online platform that connects businesses that are looking to engage temporary staff on an as-needed basis (each such business being the “Client”) with individuals who are looking for temporary employment opportunities (each such individual being a “Flexer”).

This Flexer User License (“Flexer User License”), presides over your use of the services offered by Flex via Flex’s website, web application (accessible via the following URL https://indeedflex.com) and mobile applications. Such services, website and mobile applications (including the Indeed Flex App) are hereinafter together referred to as the “Service”. Your use of the Service as a Flexer or prospective Flexer constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions defined herein.

Flex reserves the right to change the Flexer User License at any time, in its sole discretion, by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting the latest version on the Service with the date that it was last updated. By using the Service after any changes have been posted, you agree to the new terms.

References to “you” or “your” are deemed to be references to a User.

 

  1. User Accounts

Users create an Account when they register to use the Service. By creating an Account, a User confirms that they are 18 years old or over and are legally capable of entering into binding contracts. 

All User Accounts are associated with individuals. All Users are responsible for their Accounts, including making sure that all User details are correct and kept up-to-date and for ensuring that their password is secure. If a User has any reason to believe that their Account is being used by anyone else, contact Flex immediately by visiting the support section in the app. If we believe that a User’s Account has been compromised, we may suspend that account and will attempt to contact the User to try and resolve the problem.

We may, at our sole discretion, refuse to register any person or entity as a User.

If you have any problems creating an account, logging into your Account or updating your details, please have a look at our FAQs or Contact Us by visiting the support section in the app.

By providing Flex with a mobile phone number, you confirm that you are the primary user and subscriber to the telephone number entered, and you agree to receive calls (including using artificial or pre-recorded voice), and texts from Flex. To stop receiving text messages, reply to the text with STOP or contact your Flex supervisor. For clarity, you agree and understand that texting STOP in response to a Flex SMS alert will unsubscribe you from those Flex SMS alerts; however, you may continue to receive texts which you have otherwise consented to receive. You may continue to receive texts related to your performance of Flexer Services. To revoke consent to receiving such texts, contact your Flex supervisor. Flex may require you to provide alternative methods for contacting you in connection with your performance of Flexer Services. You may also revoke your consent to receive text messages by terminating your Flexer Account. Revoking consent by replying STOP or terminating the Account does not apply to a phone number that a Client already has that you provided to the Client. Once a Client has your phone number, you agree that Flex is not responsible or liable for the manner in which the Client uses the number.

 

  1. Content on our Service

Flex may change or remove content, functionality or parts of the Service at any time in its sole discretion.

You may not use the Flex trademarks, logos or other intellectual property without obtaining prior written approval from Flex.

User Generated Content is content added by users as opposed to content created by the Service. All content uploaded to the Service by our users is User Generated Content. The user uploading/creating such content shall be solely responsible for it and the consequences of using, disclosing, storing, or transmitting it. Flex may monitor User Generated Content, and reserves the right to delete any User Generated Content or portion thereof that Flex, in its sole discretion, deems inappropriate.

Flex does not guarantee that the Service, or any content on it, will always be available or be uninterrupted. The quality of the Service may be affected by a number of factors including, for example, network connection and internal network, as well as any interference or maintenance work. If a disruption or disturbance occurs on the Service or a part of it or if the Service or a part of it is temporarily out of use or inoperative, you accept that such interruptions, disturbances or disruptions do not constitute a defect or delay of or in the Service, and, to the extent permitted by law, Flex shall not be liable for any consequences of or damages resulting from such interruptions, disturbances or disruptions. Flex or a third party shall seek to repair the problems or failures as soon as possible and to restore the Service to use as soon as possible under the circumstances. Flex has the right to update the software included in the Service from time to time.   In any case, Flex will not be liable to you for the unavailability or failure of the Service or our services.

Your access to the Service may also be occasionally restricted to allow for repairs, maintenance or the introduction of new facilities or services. Flex will endeavor to restore the Service as soon as reasonably possible.  Additionally, Flex may suspend, withdraw, discontinue or change all or any part of the Service without notice, and may require you to take measures necessary to maintain access to the Service, including creating and maintaining user accounts.

Flex does not guarantee that the Service, or any content on it, will be free from errors or omissions.

U.S. 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 believe in good faith that materials hosted by Flex 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 as required by 17 USC. § 512(c)(3)(A): (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (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 Flex to locate the material on the site; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and email 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 Flex 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 in writing to Indeed Copyright Notice, 6433 Champion Grandview Way, Building 1, Austin, TX, 78750, USA (copyright @ indeed.com) (remove spaces when sending email). We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there are penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

Other Claims of Infringement. For claims of infringement that do not involve a U.S. copyright, please contact us by visiting the support section in the app.
