(a) acting as, or on behalf of, any Platform User;

(b) any aspect of interactions between Platform Users;

(c) act courteously and not in an inflammatory, harassing, defamatory or abusive way towards Recruit RE staff or any other Platform User;

5.4 As at the date of these Terms and Conditions, Recruit RE has entered into application program interfacing (API) arrangements with the relevant agencies in NSW and ACT to link verification by those agencies of real estate licence registration and drivers' licences, and may in future enter into API arrangements with other States and Territories, but Recruit RE does not warrant that such information is up to date or correct. Recruit RE has entered into an API arrangement with IDVerse (an OCR labs company) to verify Platform Users identification. Full terms and conditions of IDverse can be accessed here: https://idverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/20231107TEMPLATE-V4B.0.2023-11Licence-Agreement-for-Small-Australian-Companies.pdf.

5.5 We rely on Platform Users to provide accurate information and assume no responsibility for verifying the information provided. Employers are solely responsible for checking (including reference checks) and verifying all information, credentials and qualifications of Jobseekers (including any work visa and including verifying their identity in-person as the Jobseeker they have connected with on the Recruit RE Platform) prior to offering employment. Use of our directories to locate talent or prospective employees is wholly voluntary and, to the extent permitted by law, in no event will we or any of our agents be liable for damages to any Recruit RE users for the selection of a Jobseeker or Employer, or for any other loss or damage which may occur as a result thereof.

5.6 Jobseekers and Employers are solely responsible for their recruitment or employment choices and the parties are solely responsible for their obligations under any applicable contracts including any employment contracts.

5.7 If a Jobseeker inputs their current employer’s ABN and/or corporate entity details into the Recruit RE Platform so that their current employer cannot view their profile, Recruit RE disclaims all liability if their current employer can view their profile via alternate means i.e. through a related entity or subsidiary account with Recruit RE.

5.8 If a Jobseeker inputs their career credentials and associated renewal dates (including but not limited to their CPD and real estate qualifications), Recruit RE disclaims all liability in respect of the accuracy of or any reminders associated with the manual date set by the Jobseeker. The CPD passport and Jobseeker portal is a free of charge service offering to assist users with recruitment and storage of their career credentials and any dates input and reminders manually set by the user are not the responsibility of Recruit RE.

5.9 A Platform User may be logged out of the Recruit RE Platform 14 days following them logging in for security and data protection purposes.

5.10 No Platform User is granted access to edit or create an account unless they have super admin access for the relevant account.

5.11 When a Platform User initially begins creating their profile on the Recruit RE Platform they may be emailed a URL to their nominated email address input during sign-up. That URL link may be valid for 48 hours only, and after that time elapses the URL may expire.

Recommendations

6.1 We may, from time to time, allow Jobseekers to recommend Employers. While we verify that feedback comes from a Jobseeker, the content of the feedback is the Jobseeker's opinion. The ratings are a collation of Jobseeker feedback and do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by us in connection with any Employer. Recommendations are not a substitute for a Jobseeker making their own inquiries as to the suitability of any potential Employer that the Jobseeker is considering employment with.

6.2 You acknowledge that in submitting any feedback as a Jobseeker you will act honestly and fairly and that you will not do anything which might unfairly damage the reputation of an Employer or undermine the operation of the recommendation system. We reserve the right to remove feedback from the recommendation system which we deem to be inappropriate or deceptive in our absolute discretion.
