The notice must include the following information:

      1. a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
      2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Service are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
      3. identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Resumonster to locate the material on the Service;
      4. the name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available) of the complaining party;

    2. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send Resumonster a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see www.copyright.gov for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Service should be sent to support@resumonster.com. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
  18. ‍Payment Terms and Order Processing

Before you pay any fees, including before activating or updating any recurring payments, you will have an opportunity to review the fees that you will be charged before you accept them. If you activate or update recurring payments through the Service, you authorize Resumonster or its third-party service providers to periodically charge, until cancellation, all accrued sums. Recurring subscriptions automatically renew unless they are cancelled via a method described in the Service at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period.

    2. Free Trial

      Resumonster may offer a free trial period during which you can use the Service for a limited period of time. You can manage or cancel the trial subscription through any methods described in the Service.

    3. Payment Processing

    4. No Refund Policy

      Due to the nature of Resumonster's digital services, all purchases are final and non-refundable. Here's why refunds are not available

      1. Digital Downloads: Once you download resume templates, interview guides, or other digital resources, you have immediate and permanent access, eliminating the possibility of returns.
      2. Non-Tangible Services: We offer services like career coaching, resume reviews, and job search guidance. These personalized services are delivered electronically, making refunds impractical after initiation.
      3. Subscriptions: Subscriptions for premium services like resume optimization or advanced job search tools are non-refundable. You can still cancel your subscription before the next billing cycle to avoid future charges.

      This policy applies to all purchases made on the Resumonster website. By completing a purchase, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this No Refund Policy.

      Please note that contacting customer support will not change this No Refund Policy. However, our support representatives are happy to answer your questions and assist you with your account needs.

    5. Term and Termination

      2. Termination and Other Remedies

        Either party may terminate these Terms, effective upon written notice to the other party, if the other party materially breaches these Terms and such breach is incapable of cure, or (if such breach capable of cure) the breaching party does not cure such breach within 30 days of receiving notice of it. Resumonster may take whatever lawful actions it may deem appropriate in response to actual or suspected violations of these Terms including termination of these Terms, the suspension or termination of your access or account, or blocking you from access to the Service.

      3. Effect of Termination

        The following Sections of these Terms will survive termination or expiration of these Terms: ________________. Either party's termination of these Terms is without prejudice to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, and does not relieve either party of liability for breaches occurring prior to the effective date of termination.

  19. Disclaimer of Warranty

    DISCLAIMER

    RESUMONSTER MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE, THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, OR OTHERWISE, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, ACCURACY, TITLE, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. THE SERVICE AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” RESUMONSTER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES WILL SATISFY YOUR REQUIREMENTS, ARE WITHOUT DEFECT OR ERROR, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICE OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. RESUMONSTER CANNOT AND DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES ARISING FROM THE FAILURE OF ANY TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE, OR THE INTERNET OR FOR YOUR MISUSE OF ANY OF CONTENT AND INFORMATION ACCESSED THROUGH THE SERVICE. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AND YOUR RELIANCE UPON ANY OF THE RESPECTIVE CONTENT IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of warranties, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

  20. ‍Indemnification

    You will indemnify the Resumonster Parties from and pay: (1) all damages, costs, and attorneys' fees finally awarded against a Resumonster Party in any Claim; (2) all out-of-pocket costs (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by a Resumonster Party in connection with the defense of a Claim; and (3) all amounts that you agree to pay to any third party to settle any Claim.

  21. Limitation of Liability

    1. EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES

      NEITHER RESUMONSTER NOR ANY RESUMONSTER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR LOSS OF DATA, EVEN IF RESUMONSTER IS APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING.

    2. DAMAGES CAP

      RESUMONSTER'S TOTAL LIABILITY OF ALL KINDS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS (INCLUDING WARRANTY CLAIMS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ACTION OR CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (1) THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY YOU TO RESUMONSTER DURING THE SIX MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM (DETERMINED AS OF THE DATE OF ANY FINAL JUDGMENT IN AN ACTION); OR (2) $100.

    3. INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION

      YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTLY INVESTIGATED THE ADVISABILITY OF USING THE SERVICE AND THE POSSIBLE RISKS INVOLVED IN USING THE SERVICE. YOU AGREE TO MAINTAIN YOUR OWN INSURANCE COVERING SUCH RISKS AND WILL LOOK SOLELY TO SUCH INSURANCE FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF ANY RESULTING DAMAGES.

  22. Dispute Resolution

    Generally, in the interest of resolving disputes between you and Resumonster in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Resumonster agree that any dispute arising out of or in any way related to these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or in any way related to these Terms or your use of the Service, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the expiration or termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND RESUMONSTER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT THESE DISPUTE RESOLUTION TERMS WILL APPLY TO YOU AND RESUMONSTER UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO OPT OUT PURSUANT TO SECTION 27 (OPT OUT). Whether to agree to arbitration is an important business decision. It is your decision to make, and you should not rely solely on the information provided in these Terms as it is not intended to contain a complete explanation of the consequences of arbitration. You should take further steps to conduct research and to consult with others, including an attorney, regarding the consequences of your decision, just as you would when making any other important business or life decision.

  23. Exceptions

    Despite the provisions of Section 23, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (1) bring an individual action in small claims court; (2) bring an action in a court pursuant to the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, California Labor Code § 2698 et seq.; (3) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (4) file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

  24. Arbitrator

    1. Any arbitration between you and Resumonster will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Resumonster. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
    2. Notice; Process

      A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party within the applicable statute of limitations period (“Notice”). Resumonster's email address for Notice is support@resumonster.com. The Notice must: (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (2) set forth the specific relief sought; and (3) if you are sending the Notice to Resumonster, include your name and address (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 45 days after the Notice is received, you or Resumonster may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Resumonster must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Resumonster will pay you the highest of the following: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (b) the last written settlement amount offered by Resumonster in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator's award; or (c) $1,000.

    3. No Class Actions

      YOU AND RESUMONSTER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (OTHER THAN ACTIONS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA PRIVATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ACT OF 2004, CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE § 2698 ET SEQ. WHICH ARE NOT COVERED BY SECTION 23 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION)). Unless both you and Resumonster agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

    4. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision

      If Resumonster makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Resumonster's address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Resumonster's address for Notice, in which case this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will continue to govern any disputes between you and Resumonster.
