Copyright Ownership

The Content, Platform, and Services are the property of Shift.org, and are protected by all applicable copyright, trademark, and other laws of the United States and foreign countries. You acknowledge and agree that the Content, Platform, and Services, including all associated intellectual property rights, are the exclusive property of Shift.org and its licensors.

Company Research, Content, and Job Application Terms

These terms will apply specifically to usage of Company Research, Content, Job Application Platform, and Nomination Partners.

Job Applications

Shift.org allows professionals to get an inside look at great companies, and apply to jobs. Users have the option to log in to our website via their Veteran Account. We may additionally, but are not obligated to, allow users to save companies to a favorites list, save job openings to apply to later, and upload a resume/cover letter/other professional information in order to apply to jobs.

Nomination Partners

The Nominations Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Shift.org, Inc. and Nomination Partner.

  1. Shift’s Service. Shift partners with the United States (“US”) government to provide private sector fellowships (each a “Shift Fellowship”) for US military service personnel during the last three months of their military service (the “Service”). As part of the Service, Shift may match a service member with a private sector company offering a Shift Fellowship based on criteria such as the service member’s skill set and workplace preferences—with the goal of the service member becoming a direct employee of the company after completing the Shift Fellowship. In connection with the Service, Shift partners with third party entities such as Nomination Partner to identify (i) military service personnel who are interested in participating in a Shift Fellowship (each a “Fellowship Applicant”), and (ii) companies that are interested in providing a Shift Fellowship (each a “Fellowship Provider”). Nomination Partner will refer Fellowship Applicants and Fellowship Providers to Shift via a unique link provided by Shift to Nomination Partner (the “Service Link”). Nomination Partner will be able to view and track the status of each nomination made through the Service Link by logging into and accessing a Shift dashboard. For each nomination, Shift will pay Nomination Partner the applicable fee set forth in Section 2 (the “Fee”), provided that unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Shift, the Fee shall only be payable for new nominees (i.e., the nominee of a Fellowship Applicant or Fellowship Provider for which Shift has no pre-existing relationship, e.g., the Fellowship Applicant or Fellowship Provider has not previously contacted Shift, been contacted by Shift, or been referred to Shift by a third party at the time of the Nomination Partner’s nominee).
  2. Nominations and Payment. For each new Fellowship Applicant that (i) is referred to Shift via Nomination Partner’s Service Link and (ii) receives and accepts an offer for a Shift Fellowship, Shift shall pay Nomination Partner the Fee of five hundred US dollars ($500).
  3. Term and Termination. This Agreement will continue indefinitely, provided that Shiftorg, Inc. may terminate this Agreement, at any time and for any reason, by giving thirty (30) days advance written notice to the other party. Upon termination or expiration, all rights and licenses granted by Shiftorg, Inc. herein will automatically terminate, and each party will immediately return or destroy the other party’s Confidential Information in its possession or control. Sections 3-7 will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
  4. Warranty Disclaimer. THE PARTIES DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
  5. Limitations on Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. EACH PARTY’S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL PAYMENTS RECEIVED BY NOMINATION PARTNER FROM SHIFT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
  6. Confidentiality. “Confidential Information” means any proprietary or non-public technical or business information provided by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”) under this Agreement. The Receiving Party will not disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to third parties, will use such Confidential Information only as permitted or required by this Agreement, and shall limit access to such Confidential Information to personnel who have a need to such access and who are bound by confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those herein. The Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use or disclosure using the same manner of care that it uses for its own proprietary or non-public information of a similar nature, but in any event using no less than an industry standard level of care. The Receiving Party will have no obligations with respect to any Confidential Information that (a) is now or later becomes publicly available through no fault of the Receiving Party, (b) the Receiving Party obtains from a third party entitled to disclose it, (c) the Receiving Party already has in its possession as evidenced by written records, (d) the Receiving Party develops without use or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as evidenced by written records or (e) is required by any law, regulation, order or subpoena or other judicial, administrative or legal process to be disclosed; provided, however, that in the case of (e) the Receiving Party will give the Disclosing Party sufficient advance written notice to allow the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or other similar protection with respect to such Confidential Information.
  7. General. Nomination Partner may not assign this Agreement without Shift’s written consent and any attempted assignment in contravention of the foregoing will be void. This Agreement does not create or imply any partnership, agency or joint venture between the parties. Nomination Partner is an independent contractor and will have no power or authority to assume or create any obligation on behalf of Shift. Nomination Partner will not make any warranties or guarantees regarding Shift or the Services. The failure of a party to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement will not act as a waiver of such rights. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing and delivered by personal delivery, express courier, confirmed email transmission, or certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and in each instance will be deemed given upon receipt. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to or application of conflict of law rules or principles. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, regarding such subject matter. This Agreement may not be modified nor any rights under it waived except in writing, signed by both parties. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

Your Copyright

Because our service permits user-uploaded content, we must ensure that all content uploaded to us may be used legally by us without having to remove it at a later date due to a revocation of license by the uploading user, or a copyright complaint by the rightful owner. Although we are protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act for the alleged infringement by third-party users, complying with takedown requests still costs us time and money. Therefore, by uploading any content to our website, you agree that you grant us a universal, perpetual, sublicensable, commercial, and non-commercial, irrevocable license to use such content, and that you represent to us that you have the right to grant such a license. You agree to indemnify us as well as any third party affected by your wrongful representations if you should represent falsely that you have the right to grant this license.

Our Copyright

Shift.org depends on user-submitted content, such as resumes, cover letters, job descriptions, and company descriptions—as well as our own content, such as research on companies and other information—in order to preserve its search rankings and be unique in general. Because of the nature of our service, it is imperative that we protect our content from being distributed elsewhere, no matter how well-intentioned such a distribution might be. Therefore, you agree not to copy, distribute, display, disseminate, or otherwise reproduce any of the information on our website, or our website itself, without our prior written permission, regardless of whether it is created or owned by Shift.org, or licensed to Shift.org by some third party, such as another user. This includes a prohibition on copying any content which would otherwise be in the public domain, protected by the doctrine of fair use, or otherwise able to be legally copied, since if numerous users were to copy content from our website, it could negatively impact our network capacity. You may, of course, copy such things from other sources where otherwise legally permitted to do so.

DMCA Notices

We take copyright infringement very seriously, and we have registered a Copyright Agent with the United States Copyright Office, which limits our liability under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe that your copyright has been infringed, please send us a message which contains:

  • your name;
  • the name of the party whose copyright has been infringed, if different from your name;
  • the name and description of the work that is being infringed;
  • the location on our website of the infringing copy;
  • a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted work described above is not authorized by the copyright owner (or by a third party who is legally entitled to do so on behalf of the copyright owner) and is not otherwise permitted by law;
  • a statement that you swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information contained in this notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or have an exclusive right in law to bring infringement proceedings with respect to its use.

You must sign this notification and send it to our Copyright Agent at:

Attn: Shift.org Copyright Agent
Shiftorg Inc.
660 4th Street #700
San Francisco CA 94107
United States
hello@shift.org

If sending the notification by email, an electronic signature is acceptable.

Although no similar provisions exist under U.S. law for trademark infringement, we recommend that you submit similar information to us about any alleged trademark infringement so that we can take appropriate action.

Communications Decency Act

Although our Code of Conduct prohibit users from posting defamatory material, we cannot ensure that it does not occur due to our limited editorial resources. Under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, we are not liable for defamatory material published by third parties (such as our users) on our website.

We recommend that you report any alleged defamation by third parties to us with full details of who you are and how the material is defamatory and, if we agree it is defamatory, we may remove it. However, do not attempt to sue us, whether or not we remove such material, as we are not liable due to the Communications Decency Act and will attempt to recover any attorneys' fees, costs, and disbursements from you that are incurred as a result of defending against such an unfounded lawsuit.

Additionally, due to the SPEECH Act 2010, you cannot attempt to sue us in another country for defamation and then attempt to domesticate the judgment in the United States to enforce it. If it is unclear to us whether something is defamatory or not, regardless of whether it is a legal or factual lack of clarity, we will likely not remove the complained-about content. However, we may remove it in such instances if you produce for us a court order or declaration from within the United States declaring the specific content complained about to be unlawful.

Note that any actions we take to police defamatory material on our website are strictly voluntary, and we reserve all rights under the Communications Decency Act, as well as any other statutory, constitutional, or common law defenses.

If you believe that Shiftorg Inc., rather than a third party, has posted defamatory material, please contact us with full details at hello@shift.org so that we can mitigate any alleged loss as soon as possible.

Representations & Warranties

We make no representations or warranties as to the merchantability of our Content, Platform, or Services or fitness for any particular purpose. You agree that you are releasing us from any liability that we may otherwise have to you in relation to or arising from this Agreement or our products, for reasons including, but not limited to, failure of our service, loss of income, negligence, or any tort or other cause of action. To the extent that applicable law restricts this release of liability, you agree that we are only liable to you for the minimum amount of damages that the law restricts our liability to, if such a minimum exists.

You agree that we are not responsible in any way for offers made by third parties through our website.

We are not liable for any failure of our service, including any failures or disruptions, scheduled or unscheduled, intentional or unintentional, on our website which prevent access to our website temporarily or permanently.

You acknowledge and agree that our website may become unavailable at any given time, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice, and we will not be liable to you for any loss therefrom.

The provision of our service to you is contingent on your agreement with this and all other sections of this Agreement. Nothing in the provisions of this "Representations & Warranties" section shall be construed to limit the generality of the first paragraph of this section.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Shift.org and its principals, shareholders, agents, officers, directors, consultants, and employees from or against third-party claims, damages, payments, deficiencies, fines, judgments, settlements, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses arising from or relating to any third-party claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of the breach of Shift.org’s representations and warranties contained herein.

External Links

We may link to third-party websites from our own website including, among other things, coach websites or third-party payment processors. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, these third-party websites or their use of your personal information. We recommend that you review their privacy policies and other agreements governing your use of their website.

Notices

You consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by email (using the email address you provide to us either during the registration process or when you updated your email address) or by posting notices on this Platform. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. In addition to, but not in limitation of the foregoing, except as explicitly stated otherwise, any notices to us shall be given by email.

Choice of Law

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws in force in the State of New York. The offer and acceptance of this contract is deemed to have occurred in the State of New York.

Forum of Dispute

You agree that any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement will be heard solely by a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California. Specifically, you agree that any disputes shall be heard, where eligible, solely within the Civil Court of the City of San Francisco—Small Claims Part (“Small Claims Court”).

You agree that where the amount you would otherwise claim exceeds the monetary jurisdiction of the Small Claims Court, which at the time of the publication of this Agreement is up to $5,000, you will waive your right to collect any damages in excess of the monetary jurisdiction and instead only sue us for the maximum amount of $5,000.

Likewise, if you have multiple causes of action, you agree that if your claim would be eligible to be heard by the Small Claims Court, except that one or more of the causes of action or other rights to collect damages would not be eligible for the Small Claims Court to hear, you will waive your right to claim damages for any of the ineligible claims and instead still bring the dispute in the Small Claims Court for only the claim or claims over which the Small Claims Court has jurisdiction to hear.

Likewise, if you would otherwise have any non-monetary remedies available to you outside of the Small Claims Court, such as the right to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, you agree that you will waive your right to obtain such relief against us. If you bring a dispute in a manner other than in accordance with this section, you agree that we may move to have it dismissed, and that you will be responsible for our reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and disbursements in doing so.

You agree that the prevailing party in any dispute will be entitled to claim from the unsuccessful party the entire amount of the prevailing party's reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements in relation to the dispute.

Assignment

These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Shift.org without restriction.

This Agreement may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by Coach or any other party without the prior written consent of Shift.org, and such consent may be withheld for any reason or no reason.

Force Majeure

You agree that we are not responsible to you for anything that we may otherwise be responsible for, if it is the result of events beyond our control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, insurrection, riots, terrorism, crime, labor shortages (including lawful and unlawful strikes), embargoes, postal disruption, communication disruption, failure or shortage of infrastructure, shortage of materials, or any other event beyond our control.

Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, and any other legal notices published by Shift.org on the Platform, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Shift.org concerning the Platform, your use of the Services and any Content. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any one provision set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and Shift.org’s failure to assert or enforce any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Amendments

We may amend these Terms from time to time, and the amended version will be posted on our website in place of the old version and it is your responsibility to check these terms for any amendments. We will also include the date that the currently displayed Terms took effect to help you determine whether there have been any changes since you last used our website. Like our Privacy Policy, you must visit this page each time you come to our website and read and agree to it if the date it was last modified is more recent than the last time you agreed to the Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, you must immediately cease using our Content, Platform, and Services.

Any inquiries about your rights under these Terms, or any other matters regarding your privacy, can be directed to hello@shift.org.
