Terms of Use and Unauthorized Access Policy
These terms apply to every site we operate, including
ai-governance-jobs.com, execsearches.com, blog.execsearches.com,
nonprofit-jobs.org, grccareers.org, grccareers.ai and
grc-careers.org, together with every page, image, file, feed and interface served from
them.
By accessing any of these sites by any means, including automated means, you accept these terms.
If you do not accept them, do not access the sites.
1. Definitions and construction
In these Terms, the following words have the meanings given. Defined terms are capitalized
throughout.
- “Company,” “we,” “us” means GRC Careers, LLC and ExecSearches, LLC, jointly and
severally, together with their successors and assigns. - “Properties” means every internet domain, subdomain, host, API, feed, file and
interface operated by the Company, including those listed below and any added later. - “Content” means all material served from the Properties, including listings,
guides, research, taxonomies, compilations, images, markup, structured data and the selection and
arrangement of any of the foregoing. - “You” means any person or entity that accesses the Properties by any means,
and any parent, subsidiary, affiliate, officer, employee, agent, contractor or vendor acting for
that person or entity. - “Automated Means” means any access not initiated by a natural person operating
a conventional browser in real time, including crawlers, scrapers, headless browsers, agents,
retrieval systems and model training or grounding pipelines. - “Supplier Material” means any content, template, export, embed, widget, plugin,
script, theme or generated output furnished to the Company by a third party, whether paid, free,
trial or promotional. - “Resource Request” means any instruction in markup or code that causes a
visitor’s browser or client to connect to a host, including requests for images, fonts, scripts,
stylesheets, pixels, beacons, frames and prefetch or preconnect directives. - “Violation” means any breach of Section 3 or Section 4.
Headings are for convenience and do not affect construction. “Including” means “including without
limitation.” The singular includes the plural. These Terms will not be construed against the
Company as drafter.
2. Acceptance by conduct
You accept these Terms by accessing the Properties. No signature, account,
click-through or acknowledgment is required. Access by Automated Means constitutes acceptance by the
operator of those means and by any party on whose behalf they operate.
If you furnish Supplier Material to the Company, you accept these Terms as of the date it is
furnished, and they apply to that material for as long as it remains in use and for the survival
period in Section 12.
These Terms govern notwithstanding any conflicting terms in your own agreement, order form,
click-wrap, browse-wrap or purchase documentation, which are expressly rejected to the extent of any
conflict.
3. What we publish, and who pays for it
ExecSearches has operated continuously since 1998. The job listings, career guides, salary
research, taxonomies and editorial on these sites are produced and paid for by us. They are
protected by copyright and, in their selection and arrangement, by database and compilation
rights.
4. Automated access
Search engine crawlers that respect robots.txt are welcome. Everything else
requires written permission.
The following are prohibited without a signed agreement:
- Scraping, crawling, harvesting or systematically copying any part of these sites
- Using any content from these sites to train, fine-tune, ground, benchmark or evaluate a machine
learning model - Reproducing our listings, guides or research on another property, in whole or in substantial
part - Circumventing rate limits, access controls, authentication or
robots.txt - Creating accounts by automated means, or creating accounts under false identity
5. Supplier Material, Resource Requests, and dependencies
This section exists because of specific conduct we have documented.
5.1 No undisclosed Resource Requests
If you supply us with content, a template, an export, an embed, a widget, a plugin or generated
output of any kind, it must not cause a visitor’s browser to contact any server you control
or benefit from unless that connection is disclosed to us in writing, in advance, in plain
language.
That includes images, fonts, scripts, stylesheets, pixels, beacons and any other resource
request. A reference to your infrastructure buried inside generated markup is a data collection
channel whether or not you describe it as one. It transmits, at minimum, the referring URL, the
visitor’s IP address and their user agent to you, on every page load, for as long as it remains in
place.
We are entitled to tell our readers who receives data about them. A supplier who removes our
ability to do that has harmed us and them.
5.2 No silent withdrawal of a dependency you created
If you have placed a reference to your infrastructure in our content, you may not disable,
restrict, expire or deny access to it without thirty days’ written notice. Doing
so damages published pages we own.
5.3 Our Content on your systems
If our content is stored on infrastructure you operate, you will on request identify where it is
stored, who has accessed it, and the date it will be permanently deleted, and you will produce the
access log.
6. Liquidated damages
Violation of Section 4 or Section 5 incurs liquidated damages of one
thousand dollars ($1,000) per day, per violation, running from the first day of the
violation until it is fully cured, and from the date notice is given where the violation began
earlier.
The parties agree that actual damages from undisclosed data collection,
content misappropriation and damage to published pages are real but difficult to calculate
precisely, and that this sum is a reasonable estimate rather than a penalty.
This is in addition to, and not instead of, any other remedy available to us, including statutory
damages, treble damages and attorney’s fees under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, claims
for trespass to chattels, unjust enrichment, and any applicable federal or state computer access and
privacy statute.
7. Preservation and litigation hold
If we notify you of a dispute, you must immediately suspend routine destruction, rotation,
expiration and overwriting of all records relating to us, our companies, our domains and our
visitors, including server, CDN, edge and WAF logs, access-control change records, internal
communications, and backups that would otherwise expire. You must confirm the hold in writing within
five business days and identify the custodians.
8. Notice, cure and accrual
We will give written notice of a violation to the address of record or to any published contact
address. Liquidated damages continue to accrue until the violation is cured and cure is confirmed in
writing.
9. Audit and information rights
On written request following notice of a Violation, you will within ten business days provide a
written statement, signed by an officer, identifying: every category of data received from or about
visitors to the Properties; the dates of collection; the retention period; every party with which it
was shared, sold, licensed or otherwise disclosed; and the lawful basis relied upon. You will produce
the underlying logs in a machine-readable format.
10. No waiver, no course of dealing
No failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right operates as a waiver. No single or
partial exercise precludes further exercise. A waiver is effective only if in writing and signed by
an officer of the Company, and applies only to the instance specified. Prior forbearance creates no
course of dealing and no implied license.
11. Severability and reformation
If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to
make it enforceable and to preserve the parties’ intent, and the remaining provisions continue in
full force. If the liquidated damages provision in Section 6 is held unenforceable in whole or in
part, the Company retains every other remedy at law and in equity, and nothing in these Terms limits
actual damages, statutory damages, treble damages, disgorgement, injunctive relief or attorney’s
fees.
12. Survival, assignment and successors
Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 survive any termination of access or of any
commercial relationship, and continue for the longest limitations period available under Texas law.
These Terms bind and benefit the parties’ successors, assigns, acquirers and any entity resulting
from merger, reorganization or asset purchase. You may not assign your obligations without our
written consent; we may assign freely.
12A. Amendment and versioning
The Company may amend these Terms at any time by posting a revised version with a new effective
date. Amendments apply prospectively from posting. Each version is dated and retained, and prior
versions are produced on request. Continued access after posting constitutes acceptance of the
revised Terms.
12B. Entire agreement
These Terms, together with any signed written agreement between the parties, constitute the
entire agreement regarding access to the Properties and supersede all prior or contemporaneous
understandings on that subject. In the event of conflict, a signed written agreement controls, and
these Terms govern all matters it does not address.
13. Governing law, venue and jury waiver
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of
laws provisions. The parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal
courts sitting in Dallas County, Texas, and waive any objection based on forum non conveniens. The
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Each party knowingly and voluntarily waives any right to trial by jury in any proceeding arising
out of or relating to these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
The prevailing party in any proceeding to enforce these Terms is entitled to recover its
reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees and costs.
14. Contact and agent for notice
All notices under these Terms must be in writing and are effective on delivery to:
GRC Careers, LLC and ExecSearches, LLC
Attn: Legal Notices
https://www.ai-governance-jobs.com/contact/
Notice to you is effective when sent to any address of record, any address you have used to
correspond with the Company, or any contact address published on your own properties or in a public
registry, including a domain registration or app-store listing.
Copyright complaints and takedown notices may be submitted through the same address and will be
handled in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512.
