9) Disclaimers

The blog content is provided for general information only. While we aim to keep content accurate and up to date, we make no warranties or representations about completeness, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Your use of the Site is at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Site is provided “as is” and “as available.”

10) Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, HirePanther and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, or goodwill arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In all cases, HirePanther’s total liability for any claims under these Terms is limited to CAD $100 or the amount you paid (if any) to use the Site in the 12 months preceding the claim, whichever is greater.

We may update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and may provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, the sections intended to survive (including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Governing Law) will continue to apply.

  • Entire agreement: These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and HirePanther regarding the blog.
  • Severability: If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
  • No waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
