Terms of Use

1. General provisions

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the Howdy Jobs website available at howdyjobs.com, referred to below as the “Services.”

The operator of the Services and electronic service provider is:

HowdyJobs sp. z o.o., Warsaw, Poland. Email: nick@howdyjobs.com

referred to below as “Howdy Jobs,” the “Operator,” “we,” or “us.”

Any person accessing or using the Services is referred to as a “User.”

Users should read these Terms before using the Services. By using an electronic service, the User enters into an agreement with the Operator concerning that service on the terms described below.

2. Scope of the Services

Howdy Jobs is an online service that helps Users find and browse employment opportunities.

The Services may include:

• a job search engine and job directory;
• filters and tools for organizing job listings;
• links to employer websites and third-party recruitment platforms;
• notifications about new listings, where available;
• the ability to save listings, where available;
• User accounts, where available;
• tools allowing employers to submit or publish job listings, where available;
• contact forms and tools for reporting content;
• other features described within the Services.

Using the Services as a candidate is free of charge. Employers can publish one job listing free of charge; additional listings are paid services, invoiced by Howdy Jobs. Details of any paid services, including applicable prices and payment terms, will be presented before an order is placed.

3. Technical requirements

To use the Services, a User must have:

• a device connected to the internet;
• an up-to-date browser supporting standard web technologies;
• JavaScript enabled where required by a particular feature;
• an active email address when using an account, notifications, or forms requiring a response.

Users are responsible for internet access charges imposed by their telecommunications provider.

Use of online services involves common internet risks, including phishing, malicious software, and unauthorized account access. Users should maintain updated software and take reasonable steps to protect their devices and login credentials.

4. Formation and termination of the agreement

An agreement covering a feature that does not require registration is formed when the User begins using that feature. It continues until the User ends the session or leaves the Services.

A User may stop using the Services at any time.

Any applicable consumer withdrawal rights relating to paid services should be presented during the ordering process.

5. Sources of job listings

Listings presented through Howdy Jobs may:

• be provided directly by employers or their representatives;
• be supplied through partner platforms;
• be automatically collected, indexed, organized, or summarized from publicly available information;
• include links to the original source of a listing.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Howdy Jobs is not a party to any employment relationship or recruitment process between a User and an employer.

We do not guarantee that every listing:

• remains open or current;
• is complete or free from errors;
• was posted directly by the named employer;
• will result in employment or a response from the employer;
• contains every applicable employment condition.

Before making a decision or providing personal information, Users should verify the listing, employer, and application conditions through the original source.

The display of an employer’s name, logo, or listing does not mean that the employer partners with, endorses, or is recommended by Howdy Jobs.

6. Applying for jobs

When an application link leads to an external website, the application is submitted directly to the employer or the operator of the relevant recruitment platform. That party independently determines its recruitment process and how it handles personal information.

Howdy Jobs does not make hiring decisions on behalf of employers and does not guarantee a response, interview, or offer of employment.

Users should exercise caution when dealing with suspicious listings, particularly requests to make payments, purchase equipment, disclose passwords or payment-card details, or provide copies of identity documents without a credible reason.

7. User-provided content

When a User publishes a listing, uploads material, or otherwise submits content, the User represents that:

• the User has the right to use and submit that content;
• the content is lawful, accurate, and current;
• the content does not infringe any third-party rights;
• the content is not misleading.

Users retain their rights in their content. However, they grant Howdy Jobs a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, technically reproduce, format, and make that content publicly available to the extent necessary to provide the selected service.

This license applies while the content is published or stored through the Services, subject to reasonable backup periods and legal retention obligations.

We may reject, restrict, correct obvious technical errors in, or remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

8. Prohibited conduct

Users must not:

• submit unlawful content;
• publish false, discriminatory, fraudulent, or misleading job listings;
• impersonate another person, business, or employer;
• infringe copyrights, trademark rights, privacy rights, or other third-party rights;
• distribute malicious software;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or another person’s account;
• interfere with the operation of the Services or circumvent security measures;
• use automated tools to extract, copy, or commercially reuse content from the Services without our prior permission, except where permitted by law;
• use information obtained through the Services for spam, fraud, or unsolicited marketing;
• use the Services in a manner that violates the law, these Terms, or the rights of others.

9. Intellectual property

The software, layout, databases, Howdy Jobs branding, and content created by the Operator are owned by Howdy Jobs or its licensors.

These Terms do not transfer any intellectual property rights to Users. Users may access the Services only for their own lawful purposes and in accordance with the intended operation of the Services.

Names, logos, and content belonging to employers and other third parties remain the property of their respective owners.

10. Reporting listings and other content

A person who believes that content available through the Services:

• is unlawful;
• infringes their rights;
• contains false or outdated information;
• has been attributed incorrectly;

The report should include:

• an explanation of the reason for the report;
• the reporting person’s contact details;
• an explanation of the reporting person’s relationship to the content or organization concerned;
• any additional information or documentation needed to assess the report.

We may request additional information. After reviewing a report, we may leave the content unchanged, correct it, restrict its visibility, label it, or remove it.

11. Third-party services

The Services may contain links to employer websites, recruitment platforms, and other third-party services.

We do not control the availability, security, content, or practices of those services. Their use is governed by the terms established by their respective operators.

Users should review the terms and privacy policy of an external service before providing personal information to it.

12. Availability and modifications

We take reasonable steps to keep the Services available and functioning properly, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

Access may be temporarily restricted due to maintenance, updates, technical failures, security risks, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We may add, modify, or discontinue features. Where a change materially affects an ongoing service, we will provide notice to the extent required by law.

13. Liability

Howdy Jobs is responsible for failing to perform its obligations in accordance with applicable law.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for:

• hiring decisions made by employers;
• the accuracy, currency, or availability of third-party job listings;
• the operation of external websites;
• consequences of providing information directly to an employer or external platform;
• interruptions caused by maintenance, failures, or circumstances outside our reasonable control;
• losses resulting from use of the Services in violation of these Terms.

Nothing in these Terms excludes statutory consumer rights or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

14. Complaints

Complaints concerning the operation of the Services may be submitted to nick@howdyjobs.com.

A complaint should include contact details, a description of the issue, the date on which it occurred, and—where possible—the relevant URL or other information that will help us reproduce or investigate the problem.

We will review a complaint within 14 days after receiving it. If additional information is required, the period may be calculated from the date on which the necessary information is provided.

A response will be sent to the email address included in the complaint.

15. Restriction or termination of access

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate a User’s access to all or part of the Services if:

• the User violates these Terms or applicable law;
• the User’s activity threatens the security of the Services or other people;
• the User uses the Services fraudulently or causes material disruption;
• we are required to do so by a court, public authority, or applicable law.

Where appropriate and legally permitted, we will inform the User of the reason for the decision and any available means of appeal.

16. Privacy and cookies

The processing of personal information and use of cookies, analytics, and marketing tools are described in the Howdy Jobs Privacy Policy, available at howdyjobs.com/privacy.

The Privacy Policy is an informational document and does not replace these Terms.

We may amend these Terms for legitimate reasons, including:

• changes in applicable law;
• changes to the operation or functionality of the Services;
• the introduction of new services;
• security requirements;
• changes to the Operator’s details;
• the need to clarify existing provisions.

The current version will be published through the Services together with its last-updated date.

Where changes affect ongoing services or registered accounts, we will provide advance notice if required by law. A User who does not accept the changes may stop using the Services and delete their account before the changes take effect.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by Polish law, without limiting any mandatory rights available to consumers under the laws of their country of habitual residence.

Disputes may be submitted to a court having jurisdiction under applicable law. This provision does not limit consumer rights concerning court jurisdiction or access to available alternative dispute-resolution procedures.

19. Language versions

These Terms may be made available in more than one language.

If there is any inconsistency between language versions, the Polish version will prevail to the extent permitted by applicable law.
