8) User Contributions
If you submit, upload, post, or otherwise provide content ("User Content")—for example, comments or feedback—you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to do so, and that your User Content does not violate any laws or the rights of others.
By providing User Content, you grant FederalJobHunt a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display such User Content in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Services.

The Services may include links to third-party sites or services and may display advertising (including Google AdSense) or affiliate links. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, products, or services. If you visit a third-party site, you do so at your own risk and should review that site’s terms and privacy policies.
Some links on the Services may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click or make a purchase. This comes at no additional cost to you.
10) No Professional Advice; Educational Use Only
Content on the Services is for informational and educational purposes only. FederalJobHunt does not provide legal, financial, tax, medical, or other professional advice, and none of our content should be relied upon as such. Always consult a qualified professional regarding your specific situation.
We also do not speak for any government entity. Nothing on the Services guarantees eligibility for, or success in, any application, hiring process, or benefit.
11) Electronic Communications & Newsletters
By using the Services, you may consent to receive electronic communications from us (e.g., emails or newsletters). You can unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in those messages. We may still send you transactional or service-related communications.
12) Monitoring & Enforcement
We may monitor the Services and your use of them for security, performance, and compliance purposes.

We reserve the right to remove content, restrict access, or terminate accounts if we believe these Terms have been violated.
13) Copyright Complaints (DMCA)
If you believe your copyrighted work has been used on the Services in a way that constitutes infringement, please send a written notice to our designated agent at [dmca@federaljobhunt.com] with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FEDERALJOBHUNT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FEDERALJOBHUNT AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED \$100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US (IF ANY) DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY—WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
Certain jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or exclusions or limitations of certain damages; if those laws apply to you, some of the above may not apply.
17) Indemnification

18) Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or related to them or the Services will be governed by the laws of [insert governing jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in [insert county/state or other venue] for the resolution of any disputes that are not subject to arbitration.
At our election, disputes may be submitted to binding arbitration administered by a reputable arbitration provider under its applicable rules. If we elect arbitration, judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in court for matters related to intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Services.
19) International Users
If you access the Services from outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with local laws. We make no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations.
20) Severability; Waiver; Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any feature-specific terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and FederalJobHunt regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements relating to the Services.
