In order to protect our RLCA Community Users from commercial advertising or solicitation, RLCA reserves the right to restrict the number of e-mails or other messages which a User may send to other Users to a number which RLCA deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
Profiles derived from User Content may also be made available through the RLCA Sites. RLCA does not make any representations regarding the accuracy or validity of such derived works or their appropriateness for evaluation by employers. Derived Profiles may differ significantly from User Content.
We appreciate hearing from our Users and welcome Your comments regarding our services and the RLCA Sites.
Please be advised, however, that our policy does not permit us to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions, inventions or materials other than those which we have specifically requested.
While we do value Your feedback on our services, please be specific in Your comments regarding our services and do not submit creative ideas, inventions, suggestions, or materials.
If, despite our request, You send us creative suggestions, ideas, drawings, concepts, inventions, or other information (collectively the "Submission"), the Submission shall be the property of RLCA.
None of the Submission shall be subject to any obligation of confidentiality on our part and we shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submission.
RLCA shall own exclusively all now known or later discovered rights to the Submission and shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the Submission for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to You or any other person.
RLCA's Liability
The RLCA Sites act as, among other things, venues for
- employers to post job opportunities and search for and evaluate job candidates and
- candidates to post resumes and Profiles and search for and evaluate job opportunities.
- jobseekers to seek advice and support from others
- networking opportunities to provide a supportive online community
RLCA does not screen or censor the job listings, including Profiles offered.
RLCA is not involved in, and does not control, the actual transaction between employers and candidates.
As a result, RLCA is not responsible for:
- User Content
- the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or resumes posted
- the truth or accuracy of the listings
- the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates
- the ability of candidates to fill job openings
RLCA makes no representations about any jobs, resumes or User Content on the RLCA Sites.
While RLCA reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove User Content, job postings, resumes or other material from the RLCA Sites from time to time, RLCA does not assume any obligation to do so and to the extent permitted by law, disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.
Note that there are risks, including but not limited to the risk of physical harm, of dealing with strangers, underage persons or people acting under false pretences.
You assume all risks associated with dealing with other users with whom You come in contact through the RLCA Sites.
By its very nature other people’s information may be offensive, harmful or inaccurate, and in some cases will be mislabeled or deceptively labeled.
We expect that You will use caution and common sense when using the RLCA Sites.
Because User authentication on the Internet is difficult, RLCA cannot and does not confirm that each User is who they claim to be.
Because we do not and cannot be involved in User-to-User dealings or control the behaviour of participants on any RLCA Site, in the event that You have a dispute with one or more Users, You release RLCA (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The RLCA Sites and the RLCA Content may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors.
RLCA makes no representations about the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or timeliness of any RLCA Site or the RLCA Content. The use of all RLCA Sites and the RLCA Content is at Your own risk.
Changes are periodically made to RLCA Sites and may be made at any time.
RLCA cannot guarantee and does not promise any specific results from use of any RLCA Site. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by a User from RLCA or through or from any RLCA Site shall create any warranty not expressly stated herein.
RLCA encourages You to keep a back-up copy of any of Your User Content. To the extent permitted by law, in no event shall RLCA be liable for the deletion, loss, or unauthorised modification of any User Content.
RLCA does not provide or make any representation as to the quality or nature of any of the third party products or services purchased through any RLCA Site, or any other representation, warranty or guaranty. Any such undertaking, representation, warranty or guaranty would be furnished solely by the provider of such third party products or services, under the terms agreed to by the provider.
If You believe that something on the Site violates these Terms please contact us immediately at support(at)reallifecareeradvice.com
If notified of any content or other materials which allegedly do not conform to these Terms, RLCA may in its sole discretion investigate the allegation and determine whether to remove or request the removal of the content.
RLCA has no liability or responsibility to Users for performance or non-performance of such activities.

Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT POSSIBLE BY LAW, RLCA'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY RLCA SITE OR YOUR USE OF THE RLCA CONTENT, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE), WILL NOT EXCEED $100.
