Terms of Use

Welcome to the ApTask website located at aptask.com together with any materials and services available therein, successor site(s) thereto, or the ApTask Direct functionality (the “Site”), which is operated by FinTech Consulting LLC dba ApTask and its affiliates (“ApTask,” “we,” or “us”). These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of and access to the Site and constitute a legally binding agreement between you and ApTask. These Terms incorporate additional terms posted by ApTask through the Site or otherwise made available to you.

We may change these Terms from time to time by posting updated Terms on the Site or notifying you through reasonable means. Changes will not apply retroactively to disputes or issues arising prior to the effective date of the revised Terms.

The “Last Updated” legend above indicates the latest revision. ApTask reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Site, in whole or part, at any time without notice or liability.

By using the Site, you represent that you are of legal age to enter into these Terms. If you are using the Site on behalf of an organization (an “Organization”), you affirm that you have the authority to bind the Organization to these Terms, and all references to “you” and “your” include both you and the Organization.

The Site is operated from the United States and may not be appropriate or available in other jurisdictions. Any use of the Site outside the United States is at your own risk, and you must comply with applicable laws.

When you affirmatively submit a form on the Site (such as a contact form, application, or newsletter signup) and check the corresponding consent checkbox, you provide prior express written consent under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227 “TCPA”) and analogous state laws to receive the specific categories of communications described next to that checkbox. This may include:

• Transactional messages (application confirmations, interview scheduling, onboarding notices).
• Job alerts, employment opportunities, and recruiter follow-ups relevant to your submitted profile.
• Marketing messages, newsletters, and event invitations from ApTask.
• Messages sent using an automatic telephone dialing system, artificial or prerecorded voice, or SMS short code.

Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Your consent is not a condition of any purchase or the receipt of any goods or services from us.

You may withdraw your consent to receive marketing communications at any time by (a) following the unsubscribe instructions in any email, (b) replying “STOP” to SMS communications, or (c) emailing us at [email protected]. Reply “HELP” to any SMS for support. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle SMS consent records.

The Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. When you first visit the Site, you will see a consent banner that allows you to either accept all cookies or decline non-essential cookies.

• Essential cookies are required for the Site to function (remembering your consent choice, pathway preference, and core security state) and are set without prior consent.
• Optional analytics and performance cookies are set only after you affirmatively accept on the consent banner. They are not used to identify you personally.
• Advertising and cross-site tracking cookies are not currently used on the Site. If introduced, you will be re-prompted for consent.

Your consent choice is recorded in your browser’s local storage and remains in effect until you change it or the policy is materially revised, at which point you will be re-prompted. To change or withdraw your consent at any time, clear your site data in your browser settings and refresh the page to reopen the consent banner.

Full details on the categories of data collected, our legal basis for processing, your rights, and how to exercise them are set out in our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use the Site after acknowledging the consent banner, you agree that we may process your data in accordance with your stated preference.

ApTask is committed to making the Site accessible to as many users as possible, consistent with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. Accessibility is an ongoing effort.

We will make reasonable efforts to remediate confirmed barriers and, where practicable, provide the requested information or service through an alternative means.

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT, INFORMATION, AND SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, APTASK AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

Without limiting the foregoing, ApTask does not warrant that: (a) the Site will meet your requirements or be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; (b) job listings, employer information, or candidate information displayed on the Site are accurate or current; (c) the results obtained from use of the Site will be reliable or produce a placement, hire, or employment outcome; or (d) files or communications transmitted through the Site are free of viruses or other harmful components. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, the disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ApTask and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your Submitted Materials; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law or third-party right; (d) your negligent, willful, or wrongful conduct; or (e) any misrepresentation you make to ApTask or through the Site. ApTask reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL APTASK OR ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of or inability to use the Site, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

APTASK’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO APTASK IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. These limitations apply regardless of the failure of any essential purpose of a limited remedy. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, the limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Informal Resolution First

Before filing a claim, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by emailing [email protected] with a description of the claim and the resolution you seek. If we cannot resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days, either party may proceed to arbitration.

Binding Arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site that is not resolved informally will be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000, its Comprehensive Rules) before a single arbitrator. Arbitration will take place in Middlesex County, New Jersey, or by videoconference at either party’s election. The arbitrator’s award will be final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. This Section is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.).

Class-Action Waiver

YOU AND APTASK EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity, and the arbitrator may not consolidate or aggregate claims of multiple persons. If a court determines that this Class-Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court, and the arbitration agreement will remain in effect for all other claims.

Exceptions and Opt-Out

This arbitration agreement does not apply to (a) claims that qualify for small-claims court; (b) claims to enjoin or seek injunctive relief for infringement of intellectual property rights; or (c) any claim that applicable law makes non-arbitrable. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by mailing written notice to the address in the “General” section within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms; the notice must include your name, address, and an unambiguous statement that you wish to opt out.

ApTask will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic or epidemic, government action, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications outages, third-party service failures, or cyberattacks.

ApTask may terminate your access to the Site for violations of these Terms or any applicable law. Upon termination, your right to use the Site ceases immediately.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the Dispute Resolution section above, you agree that any action not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Middlesex County, New Jersey, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

You consent to receive communications from us in electronic form. Electronic communications, including these Terms, our Privacy Policy, notices, and disclosures, satisfy any requirement that such communications be provided in writing under the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq., the “E-SIGN Act”). You may withdraw this consent by emailing [email protected], but doing so may limit our ability to provide certain Site services.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms posted on the Site or agreed to in writing, constitute the entire agreement between you and ApTask regarding your use of the Site and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that provision or of any other provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Survival. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including the User-Submitted Materials license (as modified by your privacy rights), Disclaimer of Warranties, Indemnification, Limitation of Liability, Dispute Resolution, Governing Law, and this General section.

Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
