We may modify this Contract, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookies Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to it, we will provide you notice through our Services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes once they become effective. We agree that changes cannot be retroactive. If you object to any changes, you may delete your account. Your continued use of our Services after we publish or send a notice about our changes to these terms means that you are consenting to the updated terms as of their effective date.

Our Services allow messaging and sharing of information in many ways, such as your profile, articles, group posts, published work, Q&A, comments, links, messages, events, polls, and InMails. We are not obligated to publish any information or content on our Service and can remove it with or without notice.


3. Rights and Limits


3.1 Your License to White Collar Professional

You own all of the content, feedback, and personal information you provide to us, but you also grant us a non-exclusive license to it. By posting, you grant White Collar Professional and our affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable right to use, copy, modify, distribute, publish, and process information and content that you provide through our Services and the services of others, without any further consent, notice, and/or compensation to you or others.

These rights are limited in the following ways:

  1. You can end this license for specific content by deleting such content from the Services, or generally by closing your account, except to the extent you shared it with others as part of the Service and they copied, re-shared, or stored it, and for the reasonable time it takes to remove from backup and other systems.
  2. We will not include your content in advertisements for the products and services of third parties to others without your separate consent. However, we have the right, without payment to you or others, to serve ads near your content and information, and your social actions may be visible and included with ads.
  3. If you use a Service feature, we may mention that with your name or photo to promote that feature within our Services, subject to your settings.
  4. While we may edit and make format changes to your content, we will not modify the meaning of your expression.
  5. Because you own your content and information and we only have non-exclusive rights to it, you may choose to make it available to others.

You and White Collar Professional agree that we may access, store, process, and use any information and personal data that you provide in accordance with the terms of the Privacy Policy and your choices.

By submitting suggestions or other feedback regarding our Services, you agree that White Collar Professional can use and share such feedback for any purpose without compensation to you.

White Collar Professional is an intermediary marketplace; we help connect professional members offering their services with other professional members and knowledge seekers.

3.6 Automated Processing

We use the information and data that you provide and that we have about members to make relevant suggestions and recommendations for connections, content, features, and jobs that may be useful to you. Keeping your profile accurate and up to date helps us to make these recommendations more accurate and relevant.


4. Disclaimer and Limit of Liability


4.1 No Warranty

WHITE COLLAR PROFESSIONAL AND ITS AFFILIATES MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY ABOUT THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, AND PROVIDE THE SERVICES (INCLUDING CONTENT AND INFORMATION) ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WHITE COLLAR PROFESSIONAL AND ITS AFFILIATES DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF TITLE, ACCURACY OF DATA, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.


4.2 Exclusion of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW (AND UNLESS WHITE COLLAR PROFESSIONAL HAS ENTERED INTO A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT THAT OVERRIDES THIS CONTRACT), WHITE COLLAR PROFESSIONAL, INCLUDING ITS AFFILIATES, WILL NOT BE LIABLE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CONTRACT FOR LOST PROFITS OR LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, REPUTATION (E.G., OFFENSIVE OR DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS), LOSS OF DATA (E.G., DOWN TIME OR LOSS, USE OF, OR CHANGES TO, YOUR INFORMATION OR CONTENT) OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.


4.3 Basis of the Bargain; Exclusions

The limitations of liability in this Section 4 are part of the basis of the bargain between you and White Collar Professional and shall apply to all claims of liability (e.g., warranty, tort, negligence, contract and law) even if White Collar Professional or its affiliates has been told of the possibility of any such damage, and even if these remedies fail their essential purpose.

These limitations of liability do not apply to liability for death or personal injury or for fraud, gross negligence, or intentional misconduct, or in cases of negligence where a material obligation has been breached, but only to the extent that the damages were directly caused by the breach and were foreseeable upon conclusion of this Contract and to the extent that they are typical in the context of this Contract.


4.4 Indemnification

Users agree to indemnify and hold harmless White Collar Professional from claims arising out of their use of the platform, violation of these terms, or interactions with other members.

Both you and White Collar Professional may terminate this Contract at any time with notice to the other. On termination, you lose the right to access or use the Services. The following shall survive termination:

  3. Sections covering Disclaimer and Limit of Liability, Governing Law, and General Terms;

You and White Collar Professional both agree to resolve all claims and disputes exclusively through the District or High Courts in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Mandatory arbitration clauses apply to service disputes between professionals and clients facilitated by White Collar Professional.


7. General Terms

If a court with authority over this Contract finds any part of it unenforceable, you and we agree that the court should modify the terms to make that part enforceable while still achieving its intent. If the court cannot do that, you and we agree to ask the court to remove that unenforceable part and still enforce the rest of this Contract.

This Contract (including additional terms that may be provided by us when you engage with a feature of the Services) is the only agreement between us regarding the Services and supersedes all prior agreements for the Services.

If we don't act to enforce a breach of this Contract, that does not mean that White Collar Professional has waived its right to enforce this Contract. You may not assign or transfer this Contract (or your membership or use of Services) to anyone without our consent. However, you agree that White Collar Professional may assign this Contract to its affiliates or a party that buys it without your consent. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Contract. You agree that the only way to provide us with legal notice is at the addresses provided below.
