These terms and conditions (the "Terms") form a legally binding agreement which govern your access to and use of Above Hospitality Inc.’s, ("we", "us" or "our") website, online web application hosted at https://abovehospitality.com, our iOS and Android mobile applications (if made available) and related services (collectively the "Website").

 

By using our Website, you, the user ("you" or "your"), represent and warrant that (i) you are at least eighteen (18) years old; and (ii) you have read and understand these terms and agree to be bound by them. If you are not eighteen (18) or do not agree to these Terms, you are not authorized to use our Website.

 

If you are using or accessing our Website on behalf of, or in the employ of, an organization (corporation, trust, partnership, etc.), you are agreeing to these terms for that organization and representing and warranting that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.  In such a case, "you" and "your" will also refer to that organization and yourself individually. For greater clarity, both you as an individual and your organization are legally bound by these terms which form an agreement between you and Above Hospitality Inc. 

 

Privacy

We use your personal and other information you provide to us, whether on the Website or otherwise, in accordance with our privacy policy (which is incorporated by reference) and these terms.  By using our Website, you consent to such processing and you represent that all information provided by you is accurate.

 

About Our Website

Our Website operates as a platform to connect users offering employment (referred to as “Regular Jobs”) and freelance opportunities (referred to as “Quick Shifts”) in the hospitality industry, with those seeking employment or freelance contract work. In doing so, we allow users to post Regular Job and Quick Shift advertisements.

 

Regular Job postings are intended to only include full and part-time employment, apprenticeships, internships and volunteer opportunities, casual employment, commission based employment, contract and freelance work, which are typically longer in duration.  All Regular Job postings remain active on the Website for 30 days, unless cancelled by the corresponding Employer Account. Thereafter, the post will be archived in our systems and accessible for the applicable Employer Account to view.

 

Quick Shift job posting are intended to match employers with employees or freelancers on short notice willing to fill a time slot, from a few hours to a few shifts, typically with no ongoing work relationship being established.

 

All Quick Shift job postings will remain active on the Website for one week, unless cancelled by the corresponding Employer Account. Like Regular Job postings, once expired, the post will be accessible for the applicable Employer Account to view.

 

While we facilitate a connection and messaging between a prospective employer, employee or freelancers, we are not an employment agency. We do not directly hire or facilitate the payment of wages or fees. As an employer or as a party who engages a freelancer, you are responsible for entering such employment contracts or freelance contractor agreements as you and your legal counsel deem necessary or advisable. You are further responsible for ensuring all salaries, fees, taxes and statutory deductions and remittances are paid in accordance with, and that you comply, at all times, with applicable laws, rules and regulations in the jurisdictions which govern the employment or freelancer relationship.

 

If you are an employer with an account on the Website, you agree that we make no representations or warranties as to your ability to engage individuals as freelance contractors rather than short term employees. You should seek appropriate legal advice on the manner in which you engage a prospective employee or freelancer and your statutory and other obligations in doing so.

 

Background Checks: Our Website may also facilitate the ordering and sharing of a background check information for job candidates.  By using our Website, as a job seeker, you agree that we may conduct such background checks, the details of which (as further specified in our privacy policy) may be shared with prospective employers. We make no representations as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of any such backgrounds checks. As a prospective employer, you are encouraged to do such further lawful due diligence on job candidates as you deem necessary.

However, to post a job and get access to other features, you will be required to establish an account (“Employer Account”), create an employer profile and provide certain personal and business information as set out in our Privacy Policy and as indicated on the Website.

 

We also permit job seekers to create accounts (“Job Seeker Accounts”). A Job Seeker Account permits you to upload your employment history, educational background, a resume and create an online profile. Profile information connected to Job Seeker Accounts can be automatically shared with prospective employers upon applying for a job or freelance opportunity.

 

All types of account users are collectively referred to in these Terms as “User(s)” or “user(s)”.

 

We may allow you to complete portions of your account registration, via third party providers such as LinkedIn, Facebook and others. If you elect to establish your account via one or more third party provider, you agree to permit us to collect the personal information such third party sends us to establish your account.

1. Post both Regular Jobs and Quick Shift job listings;
2. Communicate with jobseekers; and  
3. View the profile information of a Job Seeker account where the individual in question has not directly applied to your job listing.

Upon establishing an Employer Account, you may list your job opportunities on the Website, only in accordance with these Terms and subject to the payment of your account fees (“Account Fees”). You will be required to provide a valid credit card for us to store on file, via our payment processor, to be billed in accordance with these Terms.

 

Our Account Fees are as set out in our Employer’s Registration Form, which will be provided to you separately, and are subject to change upon 30 days’ notice to you, whether via email or otherwise. Account Fees are also available from within your online dashboard in your account, with such fees being incorporated by reference herein.

 

All Account Fees and credit card details are collected via a third party payment processor. You agree that we may bill your credit card in accordance with these Terms and the Employer’s Registration Form. Account Fees are non-refundable, unless we have billed you in error. You agree that unless we have billed you in error, as determined by us, in our sole and absolute discretion, you will not seek a refund or chargeback directly with any credit card company, payment processor or bank.
