Website Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, submitting information through, or otherwise using the Sites, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Sites.

If you use the Sites on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2. Scope of These Website Terms

These Terms govern public website access and use only. They do not create a client relationship, staffing relationship, employment relationship, partnership, agency relationship, or professional services relationship.

Any services, deliverables, staffing arrangements, software access, subscriptions, consulting projects, implementation work, support obligations, payment terms, confidentiality obligations, service levels, warranties, or data processing obligations are governed only by the applicable written agreement between the parties.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and a separate written agreement signed by Centizen, the separate written agreement controls for the subject matter covered by that agreement.

3. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we update these Terms, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above. Your continued use of the Sites after changes are posted means that you accept the updated Terms.

You are responsible for reviewing these Terms periodically. Material changes may be communicated through additional notice where appropriate or required.

4. Privacy, Cookies, and Tracking Technologies

Your use of the Sites is also governed by our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Notice at Collection, Your Privacy Choices page, and Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page, as applicable. These documents explain how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information.

The Sites may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, analytics tools, live chat tools, embedded content, security tools, form protection tools, advertising tools, and similar technologies. These technologies may collect information such as IP address, browser and device details, page URL, referring URL, session information, usage events, form interaction data, and other online identifiers.

Where required, non-essential analytics, marketing, live chat, embedded content, review widgets, and similar third-party technologies are used according to your consent choices. You may manage your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Preferences" or "Your Privacy Choices" in the website footer.

Strictly necessary technologies may be used to operate and secure the Sites, remember privacy choices, prevent fraud or abuse, process forms, and maintain basic website functionality.

5. Use of the Sites

You may use the Sites only for lawful business, informational, employment, recruiting, vendor, customer, or service inquiry purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You agree that you will not use the Sites in any manner that could interfere with, damage, disable, overburden, impair, or compromise the security, availability, integrity, or proper operation of the Sites or related systems.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Sites complies with applicable laws, regulations, and contractual obligations.

6. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to misuse the Sites. Prohibited conduct includes, without limitation:

• attempting unauthorized access to the Sites, servers, networks, accounts, systems, or data;
• probing, scanning, penetration testing, vulnerability testing, or security testing without written authorization;
• scraping, crawling, harvesting, copying, or extracting content, data, contact information, or candidate information without permission;
• submitting malware, malicious code, scripts, bots, spam, phishing content, or deceptive communications;
• impersonating another person, company, employee, candidate, customer, vendor, or representative;
• using the Sites to transmit unlawful, defamatory, abusive, harassing, discriminatory, misleading, fraudulent, or infringing content;
• attempting to reverse engineer, bypass, disable, or interfere with website security or access controls;

7. Website Content and Intellectual Property

The Sites and their content, including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, videos, layouts, designs, service descriptions, case studies, downloadable materials, software descriptions, product descriptions, documentation, and other materials, are owned by Centizen, its affiliates, licensors, or content providers and are protected by intellectual property and other laws.

Centizen, ZenBasket, Zenyo, and related names, marks, logos, product names, service names, slogans, and designs are trademarks or trade names of Centizen, its affiliates, or their respective owners. You may not use any such marks without prior written permission.

Subject to these Terms, you may view website content for your internal informational purposes. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, display, publish, sell, license, create derivative works from, or exploit website content without written permission, except as permitted by law.

8. User Submissions and Forms

If you submit information through a contact form, demo request, newsletter form, chat, email, job application, resume submission, vendor inquiry, partner inquiry, or other website feature, you represent that the information is accurate, current, and that you have the right to provide it.

Do not submit confidential, sensitive, proprietary, regulated, classified, or third-party information through the Sites unless specifically requested by Centizen or covered by a separate written agreement.

By submitting information through the Sites, you authorize Centizen to use that information to respond to your request, evaluate your inquiry, provide information about services, process employment or staffing submissions, maintain business records, and otherwise process the information as described in our Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for the content you submit. Centizen is not responsible for loss, misuse, or unauthorized disclosure of information you choose to submit through public or unsecured channels.

9. Staffing, Recruiting, and Candidate Submissions

The Sites may allow candidates, recruiters, clients, vendors, or business contacts to submit resumes, profiles, role requirements, staffing inquiries, job-related information, or employment-related communications.

Submission of a resume, profile, job application, role requirement, or staffing inquiry does not guarantee employment, placement, interview, engagement, client acceptance, candidate availability, project assignment, or any specific outcome.

Candidate and employment-related information may be processed for recruiting, staffing, evaluation, communication, compliance, and business record purposes, subject to applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

Clients and third parties should not submit sensitive candidate information unless they have proper authorization and a lawful basis to do so.

10. AI, Software, and Consulting Content

The Sites may include information about artificial intelligence, automation, software development, cloud services, quality assurance, staffing, workforce solutions, ecommerce platforms, payroll solutions, and related technology services.

Website content is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not guarantee any specific business, technical, financial, staffing, operational, compliance, security, privacy, legal, or commercial outcome.

Any AI-related examples, demonstrations, descriptions, proposed outputs, productivity claims, automation descriptions, or implementation examples shown on the Sites are illustrative only. Actual results depend on factors such as data quality, system architecture, implementation scope, process maturity, user adoption, infrastructure, integrations, testing, governance, and support.

No content on the Sites should be interpreted as a warranty, representation, promise, or commitment unless expressly stated in a signed written agreement.

11. Third-Party Links, Tools, and Embedded Content

The Sites may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, tools, applications, videos, review widgets, social media pages, chat services, payment providers, analytics providers, form tools, security tools, or embedded content.

Third-party websites and tools are not controlled by Centizen. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, privacy practices, security practices, terms, policies, or actions of any third party.

Your use of third-party websites, platforms, tools, or content is governed by the applicable third party's terms and policies. You should review those terms and policies before interacting with third-party services.

Where required, non-essential third-party tools should load only according to your consent choices.

12. No Professional Advice

The Sites may include information about business strategy, staffing, software development, ecommerce, AI, compliance, security, privacy, technology implementation, or operational practices. This information is general in nature and is not legal, financial, tax, accounting, investment, security, compliance, or professional advice.

You should consult qualified professionals before making decisions based on website content. Centizen is not responsible for decisions made based on general website information.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Sites and all website content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Centizen disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, reliability, security, and uninterrupted operation.

Centizen does not warrant that the Sites will be error-free, secure, uninterrupted, free from harmful components, or that defects will be corrected. Centizen does not warrant that website content is complete, current, accurate, or suitable for your specific purposes.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Centizen and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, representatives, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or similar damages, including loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, business opportunity, or business interruption, arising from or related to your use of or inability to use the Sites.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Centizen's total liability for any claim arising from or related to the Sites or these Terms will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100) or the amount you paid Centizen specifically for access to the Sites in the twelve months before the claim arose, whichever is greater.

The limitations in this section apply whether the claim is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or any other legal theory, even if Centizen has been advised of the possibility of damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some limitations may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Centizen and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, representatives, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to:

• your use or misuse of the Sites;
• your violation of these Terms;
• your violation of applicable law or third-party rights;
• information, content, resumes, candidate data, business data, or other materials you submit through the Sites;
• your unauthorized use of website content, trademarks, systems, or data.

16. Suspension or Termination of Access

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to all or part of the Sites at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, created risk for Centizen or others, interfered with website operations, or engaged in unlawful or harmful conduct.

We may also modify, suspend, discontinue, or remove any website feature, page, content, or functionality at any time without liability.

17. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising from or related to the Sites or these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to conflict of law principles, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Subject to any applicable written agreement between you and Centizen, you agree that disputes related to these Terms or the Sites will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Oregon, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

19. Entire Website Terms

These Terms, together with any policies referenced in them, constitute the entire agreement between you and Centizen regarding your use of the Sites. These Terms do not supersede any separate written agreement signed by Centizen that applies to specific services, products, subscriptions, staffing arrangements, consulting projects, deliverables, or business relationships.

No waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective unless made in writing by Centizen. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of future enforcement.
