4. Content & Intellectual Property

4.1 Platform Content

Much of the content on Hacker Careers—such as job postings sourced from Hacker News and other public channels—is third-party content provided "as is." Hacker Careers does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or continued availability of any job posting or third-party content. We may modify or remove content at any time without notice.

4.2 User-Generated Content (“UGC”)

By uploading, posting, or submitting UGC (including résumés, notes, company profiles, and job ads), you grant Parklife a world-wide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable licence to use, host, reproduce, modify, publish, display, distribute, and promote that UGC for the purpose of operating and marketing the Platform.

You represent that you own or otherwise have the rights to your UGC, and that it does not violate any law or third-party right. You acknowledge that:

• Job postings must not be fraudulent, misleading, or discriminatory, and must comply with all applicable employment laws and advertising standards in the jurisdictions where the role is offered or visible.
• We may remove or disable access to any UGC at our sole discretion. Every listing includes a "Flag" feature enabling anyone to report problematic content.

5. Paid Job Listings & Refunds

• Fees. Employers may purchase premium job listings or other paid services. Prices, listing durations, and visibility tiers are described at the point of purchase and may change at any time before purchase.
• Payment processor. All payments are processed by Stripe. Your use of Stripe is subject to Stripe's own terms and privacy policy.
• Refund policy. Except where prohibited by law or stated otherwise at checkout, payments are non-refundable. However, Parklife may issue a refund at its sole discretion under reasonable circumstances (e.g., duplicate payment, accidental purchase).

6. Prohibited Conduct

1. Violate any applicable law or regulation.
2. Post unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, or discriminatory job ads or content.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts or remove content for violating these rules or for any behaviour we deem harmful.

The Platform may contain links to third-party sites and services. We are not responsible for those third parties; your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.
