General Terms and Conditions of "jacando Match"

 General Terms and Conditions of "jacando Match"
Preamble
The General Terms and Conditions listed hereafter specify the general conditions for using the services
of "jacando Match" and thus form the integral part of the contract for the provision of matchmaking
services (including the provision of the applicant interface and applicant management) between our
customers and jacando AG. If no other written contractual agreement between jacando AG and the
customer exists, the General Terms and Conditions described hereafter apply and are tacitly accepted.
1 Matchmaking service
1.1 Fee
jacando's claim for a fee arises upon the successful creation and use of the account by the customer.
The fee is to be specified in a separate agreement.
1.2 Payment date of the fee
The fee is chargeable and due for payment upon the customer's receipt of the proper invoice in
accordance with clause 1.3.
1.3 Terms of payment
The invoices of jacando AG are to be paid within ten days of receipt, net and without discount. The
invoices are deemed accepted if no objection to them is raised in writing within ten days of receipt. The
offsetting of any claims of the customer with the claims of jacando AG is excluded.
2 Publication of job advertisements
jacando AG supports customers in recruiting personnel. jacando AG provides a form of access, "jacando
for companies", which can incorporate any job advert. In parallel to that, jacando AG can provide the
customer with a registration service for new vacancies if so agreed by contract.
3 Data protection & disclosure requirements
The personnel files, which the customer can access online via his applicant portal
(subdomain.jacando.com), are the property of the customer. All applicant dossiers must be treated
confidentially. jacando AG assures the customer that it has collected the personal data and will
communicate them to the customer in accordance with applicable data protection law. All personal data
entered by the customer via his or her candidate portal (subdomain.jacando.com) for the purpose of
candidate management will be processed and used by jacando AG, as the agent, on the customer's
behalf.
jacando AG ensures that jacando AG is specified as the service provider and holds in readiness all
information (including on the website subdomain.jacando.com) as well as a privacy policy that satisfies
the applicable statutory requirements.
4 Liability
Insofar as nothing to the contrary arises from the effective provisions of these GTCs, jacando AG has
unlimited liability for damages to the customer caused deliberately or through the gross negligence of
jacando AG, its legal representatives, officers or agents. In cases other than those mentioned, the
liability of jacando AG – irrespective of the legal grounds – is excluded. Compensation claims of the
customer resulting from injury to life, limb or health that are based on a breach of duty of jacando AG
remain unaffected by this exclusion of liability. Furthermore, jacando AG exempts the customer from all
claims asserted by third parties against the customer, provided or insofar as these claims are based on
a breach of duty of jacando AG, particularly in case of an infringement of clause 3 of this contract.
The services of jacando AG relating to the search for and the preselection of candidates cannot, under
any circumstances, replace a thorough analysis conducted by the customer themselves. With the
appointment of the proposed candidate, the customer assumes full responsibility for his or her choice.
5 Value added tax (VAT)
All services provided by jacando AG are subject to the Federal Law on VAT. Consequently, the fees
and/or costs laid down in the General Terms and Conditions are increased by the amount of VAT that
applies.
6 Non-disclosure
The customer allows jacando AG to exchange data needed for the conclusion or the execution of the
contract with authorities or companies, if and to the extent necessary for contract implementation. In
addition, jacando AG may contact the applicant on the customer's behalf at any time to request further
information and/or documents.
7 Court of jurisdiction and applicable law
The court of jurisdiction for all disputes between jacando AG and a customer regarding the existence,
interpretation or performance of a contract is the seat of jacando AG in Basel.
These General Terms and Conditions are subject to Swiss law.
