You are responsible for:

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.
