Terms of Service

Welcome to Swink'd. These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of our website, mobile experiences, and related services that support matching, communication, and hiring interactions between candidates and employers. By creating an account, browsing, or using any part of the platform, you agree to be bound by these terms and by any additional policies incorporated by reference, including our Privacy Policy and community or safety standards. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use of the service. You represent that you are legally able to enter into a binding agreement and that the information you provide is accurate, current, and complete. You are responsible for keeping account credentials secure and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree not to share your login details, impersonate others, create misleading profiles, circumvent safeguards, or use automated tools to scrape, spam, probe, or interfere with platform operations. Swink'd may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time for operational, legal, or product reasons. We may also release updates, experiments, and interface changes that alter user flows. Your continued use after updates to these terms constitutes acceptance of the revised terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. You are responsible for reviewing posted updates. The platform is designed to facilitate introductions and conversations based on mutual interest, but Swink'd is not an employer, staffing agency, labor broker, or guarantor of outcomes unless explicitly stated in a separate written agreement. We do not guarantee interviews, offers, placements, hires, compensation levels, candidate availability, role accuracy, response times, or business performance. Users remain solely responsible for evaluating opportunities, conducting due diligence, complying with employment laws, and making final decisions about hiring, interviewing, and accepting roles.

You retain ownership of the content you submit to Swink'd, including profile materials, messages, and other user-generated information, but you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt, display, and process that content solely to operate, secure, improve, and promote the service in accordance with these terms and applicable law. You represent that you have all rights necessary to submit the content and that your content does not violate law, intellectual property rights, privacy rights, confidentiality obligations, or contractual restrictions. Swink'd may remove or limit visibility of content that violates policy, creates safety risk, or undermines service integrity. We reserve the right to investigate abuse, suspicious activity, and policy violations, and to take enforcement actions including warnings, content removal, feature limitations, temporary suspensions, or account termination. Users may not use Swink'd for harassment, discrimination, fraudulent recruiting, phishing, collection of sensitive personal data without lawful basis, or any unlawful employment practice. You are responsible for your communications and for preserving records where required by law. If you engage third-party tools, integrations, or linked services, your use of those services is governed by their own terms and policies, and Swink'd is not responsible for third-party functionality, availability, or data handling beyond our direct control. Fees, if applicable to specific plans or features, are governed by presented pricing and billing terms at the time of purchase, and may include renewal conditions, taxes, and payment processor requirements. Unless otherwise required by law or expressly stated, fees are non-refundable once service access is granted. We may change pricing, packaging, and feature access over time with notice as required. You agree that Swink'd may send transactional notices, legal updates, and service communications through in-app messages, email, or other provided contact channels.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted availability. Swink'd does not warrant that the platform will be error-free, secure at all times, or continuously available, although we make commercially reasonable efforts to maintain reliability and performance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Swink'd and its affiliates, officers, employees, and partners will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, business opportunity, or reputation arising from or related to use of the service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Where permitted, aggregate liability for claims related to the service is limited to amounts paid by you to Swink'd in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or a minimum statutory amount where required. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Swink'd from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising from your content, conduct, legal violations, or misuse of the platform. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, remaining provisions remain in full effect. Failure to enforce any term is not a waiver of future enforcement. These terms are the entire agreement between you and Swink'd regarding platform use unless superseded by a signed written agreement for specific services. For questions about these terms, compliance concerns, or account-related legal requests, contact hello@swinkd.com. We are committed to operating a trustworthy platform that supports clear expectations, fair participation, and responsible use by every member of the Swink'd community.
