  9. Terms Applicable to Employer Purchases and Use of the Website
    1. An individual job posting is intended to advertise one single open position at an organization. A position posting is sold based per opening and is not a license for duration of time to advertise multiple positions. The posted position must be a bona fide open position which needs to be filled by a candidate.
    2. By posting a position on this site or purchasing a promotional product, Employer warrants that the posting is in compliance with all laws, including, but not limited to, all federal employment discrimination laws (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e and following; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 and following; the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 and following; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 791 and following; the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, 38 U.S.C. § 4301 and following; 42 U.S.C. § 1981; and Executive Order 11246 and its implementing regulations (collectively, the "Federal Employment Discrimination Laws")). Employer further represents and warrants that it considers all qualified applicants for employment regardless of the applicant's membership in a class protected by the Federal Employment Discrimination Laws (unless membership in such a class is a bona fide occupational qualification for the position at issue) and that its hiring practices with respect to any posted position comply with all laws, including the Federal Employment Discrimination laws. Employer will assume all responsibility for the content of the posting and for any employment decisions relating to the job advertised in the posting.
    3. Federal law provides that it shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer or an employment agency to publish an ad for a job opening which lists a preference or limitation based on race. Federal law further provides that it shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer or an employment agency to publish an ad for a job opening which lists a preference or limitation based on sex, religion, national origin or age unless that preference or limitation is a bona fide occupational qualification for employment. Employers shall not post a position with such a preference or limitation unless there is a bona fide occupational qualification for the preference or limitation related to the nature of the posted position. If a position were posted with such a preference or limitation under this agreement, IEL would presume that there is a bona fide occupational qualification for the preference or limitation related to the nature of the posted position.
    4. The Internet is NOT a completely secure format and requires the attention of all parties involved to keep the materials accurate. IEL will exercise commercially reasonable care in protecting the security of this Website. However, mistaken job postings may occur and the Employer is required to review the insertion of the job posting after receiving the posting confirmation email and call to the attention of IEL any error. In the event of an error, the sole obligation of IEL will be to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the error.
    5. Each access purchased to the Resume Database is for the single campus Unlimited Posting Subscription Product or single organizational Registered Employer Product for whom the product has been purchased. Any other access is strictly prohibited and would entitle IEL to ten-thousand dollars ($10,000) per occurrence in liquidated damages.
    6. Employer warrants that it is legally authorized to advertise the job or purchase a promotional product, and that their posting does not infringe on any copyrights, patents, trademarks or violate any contracts to which the job poster is a party. Employer will indemnify IEL defend, and hold harmless IEL, its corporate partners, and their affiliates and related entities and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, and agents from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and costs (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and court costs) for any claims made by third parties related to the advertisements. IEL reserves the right to reject any submitted order without having to state a specific reason. Possible reasons for rejection include, but are not limited to: Accreditation of the institution, content of the posting, applicability to the site's Job Seekers, authenticity of the order and past credit history with the company.
    7. Non-Transferable: No product or user account can be transferred by the institution that owns the product and the user who established an account. Employees who have replaced previous employees who purchased products may be eligible to use the previously purchased product, but will be required to establish his or her own account.
    8. Integration of Job Posting Data: Employers may choose to have their job postings posted via an automated system. This process may incur an additional fee. Prior to the posting of positions, IEL will acquire a separate written confirmation (electronic or otherwise) from the employer of how to acquire the job postings, other possible unique modifications to these terms, as well as to any additional costs.
    9. By posting a job to this site, Employer authorizes IEL to post this position on other sites which are wholly owned by the company (currently these are Academic360.com and ConferenceJobCenter.com) or aggregators (such as Indeed.com) used by IEL to promote the website. The posting would be at no extra charge to the Employer. IEL does not and will not share any posting with any other company without a specific authorization from the Employer. If Employer sees their posting on another site (other than IEL sites), please contact us immediately as the other site is not authorized to have our content.
    10. Purchases Made By Third Parties
      1. A commission is allowed to third parties who are qualified advertising agencies and who submit their product orders via the relevant Advertising Agency Posting Form for the purchased product, but will NOT be allowed to agencies that use Non-Agency forms. A commission is allowed to advertising agencies that have worked with and are recognized by IEL for employer products. A commission equal to 15% of the invoice is allowed to agencies that have clearly identified themselves as an Advertising Agency or IEL has provided written recognition as a reseller. Payment is due within 30 days of invoice date. Commissions are not allowed on invoices that are paid 45 days or more past the invoice date (a past due amount). Any agency with a past due amount will not qualify for a commission for any outstanding invoice irrespective of the invoice date. Agencies who have paid past due amounts will again be eligible for a commission once their account has been paid in full for 45 days. Unlimited Posting Subscription products are NOT eligible for advertising agency commissions.
      2. Third parties are able to purchase products on behalf of an individual client. All references in these Terms that refer to "employer" also include advertising agencies that are posting positions or purchasing a promotional product on behalf of another party. The agency represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to advertise the job or make the purchase on behalf of its client, and that the content advertised in their purchase does not infringe on any copyrights, patents, trademarks or violate any contracts to which the third party or their client is a party. The third party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless IEL, publisher of IEL, for any claims made by third parties (including their client) related to the purchase.
      3. Third parties are strictly forbidden to use logins of any other parties. A third party who takes on a client must contact IEL and receive the proper clearance to establish their own login on their client's account. Failure to do so can create negative consequences for IEL's relationship with its client. Due to the fact the damages are difficult to quantify, third parties agree any violation of this term will result in liquidated damages of five-hundred dollars ($500) and the termination of any qualified advertising agency commission for all sales by that agency for a period of six (6) months from the point of the infraction.
    11. Unlimited Posting Subscription Product
      1. A single campus or unit of a campus (no longer a new product - specifically grandfathered renewals only) can subscribe to self-post an unlimited number of open faculty and staff positions for a campus or within a campus unit for one year.
      2. This account will permit the Employer's listed contacts to post an unlimited number of faculty and staff positions (includes only items listed as part of the product) for the Institution (an "Institution" is defined as a specific campus within an overall non-profit college or university - based on where the future hire will be located) on the Website for one year through their personal employer page. The cost for renewal years is only applicable where a subscription was purchased in the prior year and service was uninterrupted. The one-year period will begin the date the account is created.
      3. The Subscribed Employer understands and agrees to only post jobs related to the Institution named in the subscription account. Posting for other institutions requires individual subscriptions for each institution. The subscriber agrees to pay IEL the current retail price for single postings listed at www.higheredjobs.com/products for each position posted for an institution NOT named in the account.
      4. Single Posting Product: The Single Posting Product is NOT included in the price of an IEL Unlimited Posting Subscription or Job Pack products. The Single Posting Product requires IEL to process the request through a different posting and security system that is significantly more labor intensive as compared to other systems. Employers who have purchased products other than Single Posting Product who post use the Single Posting Product form agree to pay the additional fees generated by such posting.
    12. Any products stored into an Employer account (e.g. affirmative action emails, priority jobs, social media upgrades, VIP positions) will expire at the end of one (1) year from the date of purchase or at the expiration the Unlimited Posting Subscription product (if applicable) term, whichever is earlier.
  10. Payment
    1. When payment is made by voucher (check), the Employer agrees to place (in a conspicuous area) the invoice number or transaction ID on the payment. If the invoice number or transaction ID is not placed on the payment, the Employer acknowledges and agrees that IEL shall credit the unmarked payment to the earliest issued outstanding invoice. In the case of a dispute at a later date, Employer agrees to adjust their accounting records to reflect the application of the unmarked payment. No acceptance of partial payment shall constitute a waiver of any rights to collect the full balance of an outstanding invoice.
    2. Rejection of Vendor Systems, Purchase Orders, Additional Terms: IEL allows for the inclusion on its invoice of a purchase or insertion order ("PO/IO") number as an invoicing convenience for its customers. IEL does not accept, review, or retain any PO/IO forwarded by any customer except to confirm the PO/IO number (for the customer's tracking purposes). IEL considers any PO/IO the Employer's internal tracking document and not a contract to do business. IEL does not and will not participate in any vendor procurement system offered by any private or public entity. Any PO/IO or other documents which add, edit, or delete any term related to the purchase of any product or service of IEL are specifically rejected unless the document has an original signature of an officer of IEL, publisher of IEL, which specifically acknowledges agreement to the terms.
    3. Collection Costs: Employer agrees to reimburse IEL for any costs and expenses relating to collection of amounts past due hereunder or otherwise enforcing this agreement hereof (including the costs of a professional collection agency) incurred by IEL. All costs are in addition to the unpaid amount of the invoice.
    4. The fees for all types of job posting products (and their duration, if applicable) are listed and updated at www.higheredjobs.com/products and are hereby incorporated by reference in this agreement, including any updates to such pricing without any requirement of notice for such changes.
    5. Services not purchased by credit card will be invoiced immediately to the customer with net 30 days terms.
    6. All prices are quoted in U.S. Dollars and are valid and effective only in the United States. IEL reserves the right, without prior notice, to discontinue or change specifications on any products or services offered or provided on this Website without incurring any obligations to User or any third party. Users who do not use credit cards agree to pay IEL by check (not a wire transfer) in U.S. Dollars drawn on an account with a U.S. bank.
  11. Changes in Terms; Termination.
    1. IEL shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, without prior notice, to modify this agreement or to impose new terms and conditions with respect to access to or use of this Website.
