Terms

What each side is agreeing to, in the shortest form that is still true.

Draft. This page states what the product actually does, in plain language, so it can be turned into a policy rather than assembled from a template. It has not been reviewed by counsel and it is not the published version.

The agreement

These terms govern use of The NOD, operated by Croft, Helsinki. Candidate accounts and company accounts are separate agreements; holding one does not create the other.

Candidate accounts

Free, with no tier and no charge for any action, now or later. You must verify your identity to hold one. You may delete it at any time and the record goes with it. You must not hold an account on behalf of somebody else, and claims you make about yourself must be true.

Company accounts

Posting roles is free in every market we open. A member must verify against the company’s own domain; a personal email address does not create a company account. Every role must meet the listing standard, and a role that does not meet it cannot be published.

What is billed

A single event: a meeting agreed by both sides. The price follows the role’s tier and is shown before you send a request. No retainer, no subscription, no charge per application, and no charge for posting. A role bills at most ten accepted meetings whatever the cap. A meeting that both sides agreed to but which does not take place is not billed.

The reply obligation

A company chooses its reply window, capped at ten days, and publishes it on the role. Every application receives an answer inside that window, with the requirement that was missed where the answer is no. Repeatedly failing to reply is grounds for us to suspend the account.

Consent and contact

No party may contact anybody in the network who has not accepted their request. Using The NOD to source contact details for outreach elsewhere is a breach and ends the account.

What we do not do

We do not score, rank or rate people. We do not deliver candidate data to an applicant tracking system, and there is no export of one. We do not sell access to candidates, to anybody, including investors.

Liability

We provide the introduction and the verification described in the published scope. Hiring decisions are yours. We do not warrant that a meeting produces a hire, and our liability is limited to the fees you paid us for the role in question.

Ending it

You may close your account at any time. We may close an account that breaches these terms, and will say which term. Fees already billed for accepted meetings remain payable.

Law

Finnish law, Helsinki District Court, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection you hold in your country of residence.
