TERMS OF USE

Preamble
Agent Co is an online recruitment service operating on the internet. It puts businesses and applicants for missions in contact with each other through the posting and consultation of job offers and by consultation of a databank of curriculum-vitaes uploaded by candidates.

The present conditions apply to internet sites run by or on behalf of Agent Co and its affiliated companies, franchisees (Agent Co) and subsidiaries.

The present Terms of Use are the property of Agent Co. Any use of the present conditions, whether total or partial, is subject to the prior authorisation of Agent Co. Anyone using these terms of use without such authorisation is liable to incrimination and the civil and penal prosecution provided for by law.

The present Terms of Use apply to all the products and services offered for sale by Agent Co, whether these are bought singly, in packages or by subscription.
By purchasing online services or using the services offered, the member declares that he or she uses Agent Co services in compliance with applicable laws and with the following general conditions.

It is brought to the attention of members that Agent Co is not the owner of the information contained in the on-line advertisements, and is therefore relieved of all liability in connection therewith.

Please read the Terms of Use of Agent Co carefully before registering with the service.
Article 1 – Registering with Agent Co Services
Registration with our services is carried out online, on the www.agent-co.fr website, by completing and validating a form after reading the present conditions of use. Our services are reserved to adults who must be professionals registered with a Commercial Registry. If you do not meet these conditions, you should not use our services. In addition, you are no longer authorised to use our services if your account has been temporarily or definitively suspended.
Article 2 – Using Agent Co
Our site is an online support, the purpose of which is to enable companies and commercial agents to meet, by different methods, notably an “online adverts” system and an “online profile database” system commonly referred to as a “Profile-Bank". We host the content of adverts posted by companies (text, photos, etc.). We do not intervene in the transaction between the recruiter and the candidate. Consequently, we cannot control the security, truthfulness or accuracy of the adverts posted on-line, the capacity of the advertisers to propose job offers or the aptitude of candidates replying to online offers. We cannot ensure that recruiter and candidate will successfully contract with each other.

Agent Co offers companies the possibility of consulting the Profile-Bank of candidates (commercial agents) also registered with Agent Co. As the costs of establishing and managing these files vary, Agent Co proposes different tariffs or free access to certain Member categories in accordance to the difficulties and costs of establishing and managing the files of the people sought for in one or another category. In any case, the prices and means of payment of the different Paid Services are presented below and are permanently accessible on the Agent Co site, and at the latest during the presentation or use of the Paid Service(s) to which the Member wishes to subscribe, as well as their respective tariff(s).

Article 5 – Guarantee
The customer uses Agent Co services at his own risks and perils. Agent Co cannot, in any case, guarantee that the services proposed will never be interrupted. The obligation of provision incumbent upon Agent Co is limited to due care.
Likewise, the information obtained by the customer within the framework of services proposed by Agent Co, whether on the website or by e-mail, do not give the right to any guarantee from Agent Co insofar as it is not the producer of this information.
The articles proposed are in conformity with the current national legislation. Agent Co cannot be held liable in the event of non-respect of the legislation in effect in the countries where the services are bought.

THE ONLY GUARANTEE CONSENTED TO BY AGENT CO BEARS ON THE MANAGEMENT OF AN INTERNET SITE WHICH PROVIDES THE CUSTOMER WITH THE SERVICE ORDERED, WITHOUT GIVING ANY GUARANTEE ABOUT THE QUALITY AND CONTENT, EVEN INSOFAR AS IT IS NOT THE PRODUCER OF THE DATA SUPPLIED. IN NO EVENT CAN AGENT CO BE HELD LIABLE TOWARDS THE USER FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSS OF INFORMATION OR PROBLEMS ARISING DURING ELECTRONIC PAYMENT, COSTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO DELAYS OR TO THE OBTAINING OF REPLACEMENT SERVICES, WHATEVER THE CAUSE, BASED ON A THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING FORMAL, CONTRACTUAL, TORTIOUS, CONSECUTIVE ON DAMAGES WITHIN THE LIMITS AUTHORISED BY LAW AND CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE), RESULTING FROM THE PRESENT CONTRACT.

Article 6 – Satisfied or refunded
You possess a right of refund of the services purchased on the Agent Co site, under the conditions listed below:

This article only concerns the following services:

- Posting an advert on Agent-Co
Consulting the Agent-Co Profile-Bank
Recruitment advice and accompaniment service

One free repetition of the service is obligatory before a refund can be granted.

In the event of a request for refund, the customer must address his claim to Agent-co.com (contact@agent-co.com) to obtain a reply. Otherwise, the request may be rejected; the decision to refund is made by the management of Agent Co. Our employees have no power of decision over the refund of an Agent Co service.

In the event of a request for refund, following the customer’s lack of satisfaction, we undertake the commitment to repeat the service once and once only, free of charge. If the customer is still not satisfied, and after verification of the customer’s claim, the refund request will be considered receivable.

A refund can only be envisaged after verification of the customer’s remarks and statements. For example, if your job offer has attracted no candidates or if the Profile-Bank contains no candidate corresponding to your search, the refund will automatically be accepted. If, after verification, at least one candidate is found who corresponds to your search, then the refund will be considered but not automatically be granted.

Article 7 - Links
Agent Co or a third party may establish a link to other sites or sources. Agent Co has no means of controlling these sites and sources, and cannot answer for or guarantee the availability of such external sites and sources. Agent Co does not appropriate the contents to which these sites or sources give access, and excludes all liability and guarantee with regard to these contents.
The links and, in particular, the searches are to a large extent performed automatically. Because of their large number, they can in no case be verified by the personnel of Agent Co. If, however, in the pages of the agent-co.fr sites, a link is found to an external page containing illegal content distributed by a third party, Agent Co will delete the link with this page, upon being informed of the aforementioned content.
Article 8 - Applicable law - attribution of jurisdiction
The present General Conditions are governed and interpreted in accordance with French law. The French courts are competent to rule on any legal disputes that may arise between the parties in relation to the execution of the present.
