OWN RISK.
You acknowledge that the Site could include inaccuracies or errors, or materials
that violate these Terms of Use (specifically, the "Code of Conduct" section).
Additionally, you acknowledge that unauthorized additions, deletions and
alterations could be made by third parties to the Site. Although the Company
attempts to ensure the integrity and the accuracy of the Site, it makes no
guarantees whatsoever as to the Site's completeness or correctness. In the
event that such a situation arises, please contact
us with, if possible, a description of the material to be checked and

The Site is only a venue allowing for the posting by employers, recruiters and
staffing agencies of available job opportunities at their companies or
companies they represent (hereinafter referred to collectively as �employers�)
and by candidates of their own resumes. The Company does not evaluate or censor
the resumes, job listings or other information posted to the Site. Moreover,
the Company is not involved in the actual transaction, if any, between
potential employers and candidates. Consequently, we have no control over the
quality, safety or legality of the job listings or resumes posted to the Site,
the truth or accuracy of such job listings or resumes, the ability of employers
to hire candidates or the ability of candidates to fill job openings.

does not confirm that users are who they claim to be. Because we do not and
cannot be involved in user-to-user transactions or control the behavior of the
Site's users, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more Site users,
you release MedicalWorkers.com (and its subsidiaries, affiliates, agents and
employees) from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential,
direct and indirect) of any kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and
unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to
such disputes. You acknowledge that there may be certain risks, including but
not limited to the risk of physical harm and of dealing with strangers,

pursuing relationships begun on the Internet. You assume all risks related to
dealing with other users with whom you have had contact through the Site.

CLAIMS OF 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 have a good faith belief that
materials hosted by us 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: (a) a physical or electronic
signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive
right that is allegedly being infringed upon; (b) identification of the
copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed upon (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 us to locate the material on the Site; (d) the
name, address, telephone number, and e-mail 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 us 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 to MedicalWorkers.com., 191 University Blvd
#252, Denver, CO 80206, (tel) 888-267-6697, (fax) 866-267-6693, Attention: Vice
President & General Counsel. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor
before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be
penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
