Welcome to My Professional Center! By accessing and using the My Professional Center website,
you are agreeing to the following terms & conditions. We encourage you to review the terms & conditions,
along with the privacy policy, which is incorporated by reference,
as they form a binding agreement between My Professional Center and you.
In addition, because My Professional Center may revise these terms & conditions from time to time,
in our discretion, we also encourage you to check back periodically to familiarize yourself with any changes.
If we make any changes or modifications, we will post the updated terms & conditions on the website.
Please note that the changes become effective immediately at the time of posting.
Remember that these terms & conditions apply only to the website and do not apply to the content of third parties.
In addition, when using particular services, you and My Professional Center shall be subject to additional terms
and any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services that may be posted from time to time.
All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into these terms & conditions.
If any terms contained in this document conflict with any terms contained within such guidelines or rules,
or the additional terms, then the terms in this agreement shall control.
THE WEBSITE IS INTENDED SOLELY FOR ACCESS AND USE BY INDIVIDUALS 18 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER.
BY ACCESSING AND USING THE WEBSITE, YOU ARE CERTIFYING THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD.
While there are parts of the Website that are available only to individuals who purchase a
fee-based membership and services, there is no cost to register on our Website or use our non-fee
based services (collectively, the "Services"). If you are merely surfing or browsing through the
site and have not yet registered to become a member, your use of the Website is still subject to the Terms & Conditions;
if you do not agree to the Terms & Conditions, do not use the Website. The specific Services available to you will vary
depending upon whether you register as a member and whether or not you choose to purchase a fee-based membership or service.
Your use of the Website may also be subject to additional terms outlined elsewhere in this agreement
(the "Additional Terms"). Please review these Additional Terms as they also form a binding part of our agreement with you.
Once you register with us as a non-paying member or purchase a fee-based My Professional Center subscription or product,
we consider you a "member" of the My Professional Center community. Your membership and password are only valid for
your personal, non-commercial use of the Website.
When you register on the Website we may ask you to provide us with certain personal information about yourself including,
without limitation, your name, address, telephone number, email or other electronic address and applicable billing
information (e.g., credit card number and expiration date) (collectively, "Your Information").
Please review our privacy policy for clarification on how
we may use Your Information and other information that you may provide or submit while using the Website and our Services.
For your part, you agree that all Your Information that you provide to us or post on the Website is complete, accurate
and up to date. You will notify us of any changes to Your Information. If you fail to update Your Information or if
all or part of Your Information is (or appears to be) untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete we may suspend or terminate
your membership and refuse any and all current or future use of our Website and Services, without refund to you
of any fees paid.
Without limiting any of the foregoing, you are responsible for ensuring that the email address you submit to
the Site as part of your registration and during the course of your membership is valid and that the services,
software or systems you use to access your email ("email Systems") do not block or filter My Professional Center
Communications. Please note that your work email may be subject to additional limitations placed on
its use by your employer. We ask that you use your personal email address when registering as a member.
If you choose to register with your work email, or use an email System that interferes with the delivery of
My Professional Center Communications, we may not be able to provide you with certain Services.
In order to cooperate with governmental requests, subpoenas or court orders, to protect our systems, or to
ensure the integrity and operation of our business and systems, we may access and disclose any information
we consider necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, Your Information, IP address and traffic information,
usage history, and Content you have posted on the Website. Our right to disclose any such information shall
govern over any terms of our privacy policy.
During the registration process we may provide you with a unique registration number.
We will also ask you to create a password. Because any activities that occur under your registration number
or password are your responsibility it is important for you to keep your registration number and password secure.
Notify us immediately if you believe that someone has used your registration or password without your authorization.
From time to time we will send you communications, in keeping with our privacy policy
and as otherwise permitted in these Terms & Conditions
("My Professional Center Communications"). Please note that any number of issues may interfere with
your receipt of such communications, including, without limit, some types of email Systems that may
use filtering or blocking techniques that are intended to block email. My Professional Center is not
responsible for the actual delivery or your actual receipt of these communications.
The Website contains areas that enable members of the community to interact and share information,
such as message boards, forums and other areas where you may connect with other members through posting
or sharing of content (collectively the "Community Connections"). When you use the Community Connections,
you may have the opportunity to disclose, post, or otherwise upload to publicly accessible portions of the Website,
or share with other members, information and other content, including but not limited to biographical information,
photographs and stories (collectively, the "Content"). While we may provide you with these tools and opportunities,
we also wish to remind you that you should choose carefully which information you post on the Website and that you
provide to other members.
You are required to use the Community Connections responsibly, just as you would act responsibly when
communicating or interacting with others in your offline communities. As a result, we expect and require that
you take full responsibility for the Content that you post or send through the Website. We have established
some Community Guidelines that we hope will increase your awareness of your responsibilities to others when
using the Community Connections and will enhance your enjoyment of our Website. These Guidelines are
incorporated by reference into this Terms & Conditions. We may update these Guidelines from time to time.
In addition to your adherence to the Guidelines, you specifically agree to comply with all applicable laws
concerning the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country you reside in.
The following Community Guidelines apply to and govern your use of the Communication Tools:
- Do contribute responsibly in the forums;
- Do treat others in the community with respect;
- Do let us know if you come across Content that you find offensive, possibly unlawful, or
that you believe otherwise violates these Community Guidelines;
- Don't upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available ("Provide") any Content that is
unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, harassing, threatening, harmful,
invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory or otherwise objectionable;
- Don't Provide any Content that encourages a criminal offense or violates the rights of any party;
- Don't impersonate anyone else or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;
- Don't participate in any unauthorized or unsolicited promotions, advertising, "junk mail", "spam",
"chain letters", "pyramid schemes" or any other form of solicitation, or otherwise use the website
for a commercial purpose;
- Don't violate any applicable local, state, national and international law or regulation;
- Don't Provide any correspondence from My Professional Center or another party without such party's permission;
- Don't interfere with, interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of the Website or any computer

- Don't try to gain unauthorized access to the Website, other members' accounts, or computers
connected to the Website; and
- Don't post telephone numbers, street addresses, last names, URLs or email addresses in
Content that is publicly accessible on the Website.
We do not actively monitor the message boards and other Communication Tools or the Content that
is posted or provided through such tools, nor are we obligated to do so. And since we don't,
and may not have the ability to, control or actively monitor the Content, we don't guarantee its accuracy,
integrity or quality. Because community standards vary and individuals sometimes choose not to comply
with our policies and practices, in the process of using our Website, you may be exposed to Content
that you find offensive or objectionable. You can contact our Member Care Department to let us know
of Content that you find objectionable. We may investigate the complaints that come to our attention.
If we choose to investigate the complaint, we will take any action that we believe is appropriate,
including, but not limited to issuing warnings, removing the Content or terminating memberships.
However, because situations and interpretations vary, we also reserve the right not to take any action.
In such cases, we may not remove Content that you believe is objectionable or offensive. Please remember
that you can always choose to refrain from using any part of the Website that exposes you to something that
you are uncomfortable with. Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any Content, including,
but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a
result of the use of, access to, or denial of access to any Content.

Your use of the School & Employers related services provided through the Website indicates your acknowledgement
and acceptance of these School & Employers Additional Terms. These terms are subject to the Terms & Conditions,
which is incorporated herein by reference. If any terms contained in these School & Employers Additional
Terms conflict with the Terms & Conditions, then the Terms & Conditions shall control.
1. My Professional Center is a Venue.
My Professional Center provides certain Services related to School & Employers to both paying and non-paying
members ("Professional Services"). These Professional Services may include but are not limited to providing
a venue for members to post opportunities related to work, employment or related products or services ("Ads"),
respond to such Ads ("Response"), or post messages related to work and employment matters.
2. Authenticity of Ads.
Please note that Ads and Responses are submitted by members and such ads and Responses are not actively
screened or monitored by My Professional Center. Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult,
My Professional Center cannot and does not confirm that each member who posts an Ad, or who responds to one,
is who they claim to be. My Professional Center is not involved in any actual transaction between the member
posting the Ad and anyone providing a Response. We have no control over the accuracy, quality, validity,
truthfulness, safety or legality of any Ad or Response or the ability of members to offer such opportunities to
other members. You acknowledge that any reliance on material posted or otherwise provided by other members will
be at your own risk.
3.Your Ads.
My Professional Center does not warrant or guarantee that an Ad or Response will be viewed by any specific number
of members, or that it will be viewed by any member. My Professional Center is not responsible for any decisions,
including, without limit any employment decision, for whatever reason, made by any member posting an Ad on the Web site.
By posting an Ad you warrant and represent that you have full power and authority to post such opportunity on
the Web site. You also agree and acknowledge that you will not post any Ads that: (i) may be linked to
potentially fraudulent activities, including, without limit, the following: pyramid schemes, ponzi schemes or
matrix schemes; "Work at Home" opportunities; franchise; "club membership," distributorship or sales representative
agency arrangement or other business opportunity which requires an upfront or periodic payment, pays commissions
only (no significant salary) or requires recruitment of other members, sub-distributors or sub-agents; (ii)
create liability for us; (iii) list any item on the Web site (or consummate any transaction that was initiated
using our service) that, by paying to us the subscription fee, could cause us to violate any applicable law,
statute, ordinance or regulation; or (iv) otherwise violate the Terms & Conditions. You also warrant and represent
your Ad does not violate any local, state or federal laws, including, without limit, any and all laws related to
discrimination.
As stated more fully in Section 2 of this School & Employers Additional Terms and elsewhere in the Terms & Conditions,
My Professional Center does not verify the validity, safety, truthfulness or legality of Ads or Responses.
Please note that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with
strangers, foreign nationals, underage persons or people acting under false pretenses. As a result you should
be sure to exercise caution and common sense when deciding if and how to post or respond to any Ad or Response.
You assume all risks associated with dealing with other members with whom you come in contact through the Web site.
4. Removal of Ads.
In addition to any other action that My Professional Center deems appropriate under the Terms & Conditions,
My Professional Center may, at any time and without notice, warn our community of your actions, suspend or
terminate your membership, remove any Ad that fails to meet these School & Employers Additional Terms.
In addition, My Professional Center may at any time re-categorize, disable or suspend Ads which, in
My Professional Center sole determination, contain inappropriate material. If your Ad is re-categorized,
disabled or suspended, please send an email to the My Professional Center
Member Care Department.
Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to
subsequent or similar breaches.
From time to time My Professional Center may, at its discretion, offer limited free trials of some products or services.
To view the details of your free trial, if any, please visit your My Account page.
Only one free trial may be redeemed per person per membership type. Upon registering for your free trial, your credit
card will be authorized for the price of the membership. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may
reflect the authorization for the amount of the membership; however, no charges will be made to your credit card unless
you do not cancel prior to the end of your free trial period.
We will begin charging your credit card for your specific membership at the end of your free trial. Visit your
My Account page to view the end date of your free trial. You must cancel prior to the end of your free trial offer
to avoid charges to your credit card. If you stay enrolled in our auto-renewal program, we will bill your credit
card at the end of each subscription period until you cancel in order to provide you with continued use of your
membership services.
