Terms of Service

By creating an account, accessing, or using the McKent platform (available at mckent.net and related applications), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

These Terms form a binding legal agreement between you and McKent Ltd ("McKent", "we", "us", "our"). We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. We will provide at least 14 days' notice of material changes by email and in-app notification.

You must be at least 16 years of age to create an account. By registering, you represent that:

• You have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction • You are not barred from receiving services under applicable law • If registering on behalf of a company, you have the authority to bind that company to these Terms

We reserve the right to verify eligibility and to refuse or terminate accounts that do not meet these requirements.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at support@mckent.net if you suspect unauthorised access.

You may register as a Candidate (job seeker) or as an Employer. Certain features are only available to the relevant account type. You may not create accounts for others without their consent, or create multiple accounts to circumvent suspensions.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, upon reasonable notice except where immediate action is required due to security or legal concerns.

Job Postings: Employers may post job openings for genuine vacancies. Job postings must: • Accurately describe the role, responsibilities, and requirements • Not contain discriminatory language based on protected characteristics (race, sex, age, religion, disability, nationality, sexual orientation, etc.) • Comply with applicable employment laws in the relevant jurisdiction • Not be misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent

Application Data: By posting a job, you consent to receiving applications from candidates and agree to use candidate data solely for recruitment purposes related to that specific posting. You may not sell, share, or repurpose candidate data for any other purpose.

Fair Hiring: You agree to comply with equal opportunities legislation applicable in the markets where you post jobs (including US federal and state employment law, UAE Labour Law, and Indian employment regulations).

Fees: Job posting and subscription fees are as published on our pricing page. All fees are non-refundable except as required by law.

Profile Accuracy: Your profile, resume, and all information you submit must be accurate and up to date. You must not misrepresent your qualifications, experience, or identity.

Profile Visibility: By default, your profile is visible to employers when you apply for a role. You may make your profile visible to all employers ("active job seeker") or restrict it to apply-only via your privacy settings.

Applications: Submitting an application constitutes permission for the relevant employer to view your profile and resume. You may not apply to the same posting multiple times.

Resume & Profile Data: You retain ownership of your resume and profile content. By uploading it to McKent, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, parse, and display it to relevant employers and to power AI features (matching, scoring, coaching) as described in our Privacy Policy.

McKent uses artificial intelligence to power candidate matching, resume scoring (ATS), job recommendations, and career coaching. You acknowledge that:

• AI outputs are probabilistic and may contain errors or inaccuracies • AI match scores and recommendations are tools to assist decision-making, not definitive determinations of suitability • Employers must not make final hiring decisions based solely on AI-generated scores without human review • Career coaching responses are informational only and do not constitute professional career or legal advice

We do not use AI features to make fully automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects without human involvement. If you believe an AI-generated score has unfairly affected you, contact support@mckent.net to request a review.

You may not use the platform to:

• Post false, misleading, or fraudulent job listings or profiles • Harvest, scrape, or systematically collect data from the platform without written permission • Use automated bots, crawlers, or scripts to interact with the platform • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to other accounts, systems, or data • Upload malicious code, viruses, or files that could harm our systems or other users • Engage in harassment, hate speech, or threatening behaviour toward other users • Circumvent any access controls, rate limits, or security measures • Use the platform for any illegal purpose, including human trafficking, child exploitation, or money laundering • Post jobs that require illegal activities or violate labour law

Violations may result in immediate account termination and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement.

McKent Platform: All code, design, algorithms, trademarks, and content owned or licensed by McKent is our exclusive intellectual property. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or reverse-engineer any part of the platform.

Your Content: You retain all rights to the content you create (job postings, profile text, messages). By posting content on McKent, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, display, and process that content for operating and improving the platform.

Feedback: If you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the platform, you agree that we may use them freely without compensation or attribution.

McKent provides in-app messaging to facilitate communication between employers and candidates. You agree to use messaging:

• Only for recruitment-related communication • In a professional and respectful manner • Not for spam, unsolicited advertising, or marketing

We do not routinely monitor messages but reserve the right to review communications to investigate complaints, policy violations, or legal matters. Do not share sensitive personal information (financial details, national identity numbers, passwords) through messages.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not guarantee that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses. We do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any job posting, candidate profile, or AI-generated output. McKent does not endorse any employer or candidate and is not responsible for hiring outcomes.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, McKENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR DIRECT DAMAGES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD 100.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

You agree to indemnify and hold McKent, its officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

• Your use of the platform • Your violation of these Terms • Your violation of any applicable law or third-party rights • Any content you post or submit

Either party may terminate the agreement at any time. You may close your account via account settings or by emailing support@mckent.net. We may suspend or terminate your account for violations of these Terms, with or without notice depending on severity.

Upon termination: access to the platform ceases; we will handle your personal data per our Privacy Policy and applicable law; outstanding fees remain payable; provisions that by nature survive termination (intellectual property, indemnity, limitation of liability, dispute resolution) continue to apply.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms shall first be referred to good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in London under the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration, unless you are a consumer in a jurisdiction with mandatory local consumer protection law, in which case local courts apply.

Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief in any competent court.

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any specific service agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and McKent.

Severability: If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in force.

Waiver: Failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of that right.

Assignment: You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign ours in connection with a merger or acquisition.
