   1. Once you have created your account, you can use the Platform to do the following:

      1. create your candidate profile;

      2. auto-populate your candidate profile using your linked social media profile (such as LinkedIn), uploaded CV, or answers to our AI video interview tool (on which, see section 5.3.1 on the Platform’s automated algorithms);

      3. communicate with the companies or recruiters that have uploaded relevant job vacancies (“Recruiters”) at the different stages of the recruitment process; and

      4. search and apply for any job vacancies that interest you;

      5. receive any job descriptions for job vacancies which are relevant to your candidate profile.

   2. Unless specifically stated otherwise, any new features or services introduced on the Platform shall be subject to these Terms.

   3. The Platform performs the following services for you on an automated basis:

      1. Optimising your profile: The Platform uses information you have shared from your CV, LinkedIn page, and the answers to your video interview to supplement the information you have already provided about yourself and completing any gaps in your profile. This ensures your profile includes all relevant information needed for the Platform to match you up with relevant job vacancies (see next sub-paragraph).

      2. Assessing your job eligibility: The Platform assesses your suitability for a posted job role based on your profile information. If you are suitable, you will be contacted asking you to confirm if you would like to apply for the role. If you click apply, we will put you forward for that role.

8. TERMINATION

   1. We may close your account and/or prevent your access to and use of the Platform with immediately effect if:

      1. you breach, or we suspect you are in breach of, the Rules of Acceptable Use or another important term of these Terms;

9. YOUR RIGHTS

   1. If you think there is fault with the Platform, you can contact us by email at alfie@welovealfa.com and we will try to resolve this for you.

   2. We strive to ensure that we provide our Platform to meet all of the requirements imposed by law and your legal rights. Your legal rights are summarised on the Citizens Advice website (see www.citizensadvice.org.uk).

   3. Save for your legal rights, we provide the Platform on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind as permitted by applicable law.

10. OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU

    1. Alfa shall only be liable under these Terms for losses which are reasonably foreseeable and caused by Alfa's breach of these Terms or Alfa's negligence.

    2. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable which is loss or damage that was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we accepted these Terms meant we should have expected it.

    3. In any event, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our maximum aggregate liability to you in respect of the Platform (whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise) shall in no circumstances exceed the sum of one hundred Great British Pounds (£100).

    4. Nothing in these Terms excludes any statutory rights which may apply to your use of the Platform which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by contract.

    5. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

11. FAILURES TO NETWORKS OR HARDWARE

    1. Although we have taken all reasonable care to ensure that the features and functionalities provided on the Platform are of a reasonably satisfactory standard, certain features may rely on your device or networks and connections that are beyond our control.

    2. We shall therefore not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance, of any of our obligations to you which is caused by events outside our reasonable control.

12. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

    1. We may change these Terms from time to time. Any changes we may make to these Terms in the future will be posted on the Platform and, where appropriate, notified to you by email. By continuing to use and access the Platform following such changes, you agree to be bound by any changes we make. Please review this page frequently to see any updates or changes to these Terms.

    2. The latest version of these Terms will always be available on the Platform.

13. VIRUSES

    While we take all reasonable precautions to keep the Platform free from viruses, corrupt files and other malicious software, we cannot guarantee this. We will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by a virus, distributed denial-of-service attack, or other technologically harmful material that may infect your device.

14. THIRD PARTY LINKS

    The Platform may contain links to third party websites or resources. Alfa provides these links and resources only as a convenience and is not responsible for the content, products, or services on or available from those websites or in those resources, the links displayed on such websites or the privacy practices of such websites. We recommend that you read and consider these websites’ privacy policies and terms and conditions before using them and providing any of your personal information.

15. COMPLAINTS

    1. If you have a complaint or dispute with us relating to the Platform, in the first instance, please contact us via alfie@welovealfa.com and we will attempt to resolve the complaint or dispute informally.

    2. If we are unable to resolve your complaint or dispute with you informally, we will suggest an appropriate consumer focused mediation or arbitration dispute resolution service based on the nature of the complaint or dispute and your location.

    3. Whilst you are under no obligation to resolve your complaint or dispute using this service, we would hope that you will use this service as we consider this the most cost effective and appropriate way to resolve complaints and disputes with our users.

16. GENERAL

    1. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision (in whole or part) of these Terms shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions (in whole or part). The whole or part of any provision which is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed deleted from these Terms.

    2. These Terms are personal to you. You shall not be entitled to assign these Terms in whole or in part to any third party without our prior written consent.

    3. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under these Terms.

    4. Any failure by us to enforce any of these Terms shall not be a waiver of them or limit the right to subsequently enforce any of these Terms.

    5. These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with English law. However, this does not exclude any mandatory legal rights you may have in your country of residence, where we are not allowed to exclude such as a matter of law. The English courts will have jurisdiction, but this does not affect your ability to make a claim in your country of residence where you have this right.
