4 - Account

1. Would you like to post a vacancy via Greenjobs.nl? Then you will first need to create an account. Candidates can also create an account, but this is not a requirement (they can also respond to a vacancy without an account). Greenjobs.nl has the right (at its own discretion) to refuse accounts without reason.

2. You are responsible for (the accuracy of) your account information.

3. In order to create an account, you must meet at least the following requirements:

• You are at least 18 years old;

• You have provided Greenjobs.nl with accurate and complete information;

7. It can be useful as an employer to add multiple users to the same account. The employer is fully responsible for everything that happens under its account, and therefore also for the actions of other users of its account.

5 - Posting a vacancy

1. Please note that an employer must post the vacancy through its own account.

2. The employer is fully responsible for delivering the relevant content (such as the vacancy text, contact details, etc.). The employer should be aware of the fact that Greenjobs.nl may, at its own (creative and technical) discretion, determine or change the content and / or the design of the (posted) vacancies.

3. You understand that Greenjobs.nl does not review the delivered content. As such, the employer is solely responsible for (the content) of the vacancy. In any case, the employer guarantees that:

• the vacancy only promotes one single position or project;
• the vacancy does not contain any (hyper)links to the websites of third parties, unless Greenjobs.nl has given its approval;

• The social media post will be shared once on the LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts of Greenjobs.nl;
• The post will only be shared in the feed of the social media accounts of Greenjobs.nl. Greenjobs.nl does not guarantee that the post will also appear in stories and so on;
• The social media post will be shared within 7 working days after the vacancy has been posted;
• After the social media post has been shared on the social media accounts of Greenjobs.nl, employer can no longer adjust the post free of charge;
• Greenjobs.nl does not guarantee that the social media post will (for a certain period of time) remain ‘at the top’ of the feed of Greenjobs.nl's social media accounts.
  

7. The above six points are also valid if vacancies from an employer are submitted via an automatic link / connection from a (work-at) site of an employer.

8. A subscription for unlimited job posting has a duration of three, six, nine or twelve months. The employer cannot cancel the subscription he has chosen within the term of the subscription. At the end of the term, the subscription will be tacitly renewed, always for a period of one month, unless the employer terminates the subscription in writing, with due observance of a notice period of one month.

6 - Company page for employers

Greenjobs.nl offers employers an additional opportunity to put their company on the map. With a company page the employer can attract the right talent even better!

1. The subscription costs for a company page are charged at the beginning of each month. The employer receives an invoice which must be paid within 14 calendar days after the invoice date.

3. The minimum period for the subscription for a company page is six months. It is not possible to terminate the subscription within this minimum period of six months. After expiry of the minimum period, the subscription shall renew automatically for further successive renewal periods of one month each, unless written notice is given by the employer, subject to a one-month notice period.
4. Greenjobs.nl is entitled to terminate the subscription for a company page at any time, without requiring any notice or notice of default. In such case, Greenjobs.nl shall refund part of the subscription fee, for the period that has not been used, unless the termination is attributable to the employer. Greenjobs.nl will never be liable for any compensation regarding cancellation, dissolution or any other method of termination. Amounts that Greenjobs.nl has already invoiced at the time of dissolution will remain due in full and will become immediately payable upon dissolution.
5. Greenjobs.nl endeavors to post the company page on its website within 7 days of receiving the completed questionnaire.
6. Employer is responsible for keeping the information displayed on the employer's company page up-to-date. Employer cannot directly change the information itself on the employer's company page. Employers should contact Greenjobs.nl by sending an email to info@greenjobs.nl to adjust the information.
7. Employer is responsible for the content of the company page and guarantees that the content does not infringe on the (intellectual property) rights of third parties, and that third party links are not harmful. Employer indemnifies Greenjobs.nl for all claims of third parties in this regard.

From time to time, we may collect generally known data from publicly available sources if we have a legitimate interest, such as a commercial purpose (to be able to contact you on LinkedIn, for example).

Storage period of your personal data

Your personal data will be deleted or made anonymous when the data is no longer needed for the processing purposes as mentioned in this privacy and cookie policy, unless there’s a statutory obligation that requires longer storage and taking into account any limitation periods. We will send you an email once a year asking whether you want to be removed from our databases, whether you want to change your data, or whether you want to remain in the databases. You can delete your account at any time. After you have deleted your account, the stored data will be anonymized. Backups are created on a daily basis; the stored data is kept for another six months.

We make sure that all unnecessary information is removed from the (internal) computer systems.

We do not sell data to third parties, but we may share data. For example, we may transfer data to third parties if this would be necessary for the executing of our contract, to our processors, if we are obliged to do so, for example by a court order or court ruling, if we have a legitimate interest in doing so or if you have given your express consent.
