1. General Information Only
The information contained on the Atworkforce website (www.atworkforce.com) and any associated platforms, communications, or materials is provided for general informational purposes only. While we strive to keep the information accurate, current, and reliable, Atworkforce makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability with respect to the website or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the website for any purpose.
This website is designed to provide an overview of our recruitment and HR consulting services and to facilitate connections between candidates and employers. It is not intended to serve as professional advice, including but not limited to legal, financial, or career advice. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.
2. No Guarantee of Results or Outcomes
Atworkforce does not guarantee any specific results or outcomes from the use of our services. For candidates and jobseekers, we do not guarantee job placement, interview selection, employment, or any particular career outcome. The recruitment process involves numerous factors beyond our control, including employer decisions, market conditions, and candidate qualifications. All final hiring decisions, interview selections, and employment terms are determined solely by the hiring organisations with whom we share candidate information.
For employers and clients, while we use our professional expertise and industry knowledge to identify suitable candidates, we do not guarantee that any candidate presented will be hired, accept an offer, perform successfully if hired, or remain with the organisation for any specific period. The ultimate responsibility for evaluating candidate suitability, conducting interviews, making hiring decisions, and verifying qualifications rests solely with the employer.
3. No Liability for Third-Party Content and Actions
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, job boards, social media platforms, client websites, partner organisations, or other resources that are not owned or controlled by Atworkforce. These links are provided for your convenience only and do not signify our endorsement of such websites or their content. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy practices, terms of use, availability, or accuracy of any third-party websites or resources.
Atworkforce shall not be liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any content, goods, or services available on or through any third-party website. Your use of any third-party website is governed by the terms and conditions and privacy policies of that third party.
Furthermore, we are not responsible for the actions, omissions, representations, or conduct of any employers, candidates, or other third parties who interact through our platform. Any disputes, claims, or issues arising between candidates and employers, including but not limited to employment offers, contract terms, working conditions, compensation, or termination of employment, are solely the responsibility of the parties involved. Atworkforce disclaims all liability for any claims or damages arising from such interactions.
4. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, including the Indian Contract Act, 1872, Atworkforce, its directors, employees, affiliates, agents, and licensors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of our website, services, or any information provided therein.
This limitation of liability applies regardless of the theory of liability, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, even if Atworkforce has been advised of the possibility of such damages. It includes, but is not limited to, claims for loss of profits, business opportunities, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses.
In jurisdictions where limitations of liability are permitted by law, Atworkforce's total liability to you for all claims arising under or in connection with these terms and our services shall not exceed the amount paid by you to Atworkforce during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to liability, or one thousand rupees, whichever is less.
We acknowledge that under Indian law, exclusion clauses are generally enforceable provided they are clearly and unambiguously drafted and do not violate public policy or Section 23 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 . This disclaimer has been carefully drafted to be reasonable and proportionate, reflecting the free and equal bargaining power of the parties using our services.
