User Sign-up Obligations

You need to sign up for a user account by providing all required information in order to access or use the Services. If you represent an organization and wish to use the Services for corporate internal use, we recommend that you, and all other users from your organization, sign up for user accounts by providing your corporate contact information. In particular, we recommend that you use your corporate email address. You agree to a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the sign-up process; and b) maintain and promptly update the information provided during sign-up to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete.

Organization Accounts and Administrators

When you sign up for an account for your organization, you may specify one or more administrators. The administrators will have the right to configure the Services based on your requirements and manage end users in your organization account. If your organization account is created and configured on your behalf by a third party, it is likely that such a third party has assumed an administrator role for your organization. Make sure that you enter into a suitable agreement with such a third party specifying such party's roles and restrictions as an administrator of your organization account.

You are responsible for:

  • ensuring confidentiality of your organization account password.
  • appointing competent individuals as administrators for managing your organization account, and
  • ensuring confidentiality of your organization account password.
  • ensuring that all activities that occur in connection with your organization account comply with this agreement.

You understand that HirePanda is not responsible for account administration and internal management of the Services for you.

You are responsible for taking the necessary steps to ensure that your organization does not lose control of the administrator accounts. You may specify a process to be followed for recovering control in the event of such loss of control of the administrator accounts by sending an email to contact@hirePanda.com, provided that the process is acceptable to HirePanda. In the absence of any specified administrator account recovery process, HirePanda may provide control of an administrator account to an individual providing proof satisfactory to HirePanda demonstrating authorization to act on behalf of the organization. You agree not to hold HirePanda liable for the consequences of any action taken by HirePanda in good faith in this regard.
