Then to help as best we can, giving you as much autonomy as possible, to navigate the entire process up to on-boarding and cultural immersion. Why? Simple. Because our founder has been there and so have many of her friends and colleagues globally. They all agree it’s time to change this time consuming, overwhelming fragmented process; and facilitate a journey that helps both individuals and companies grow in innovation and overall. That being said we have a long way to go to some semblance of perfection.

Now that that's out of the way... Contract When you use our Services you agree to all of these terms. Your use of our Services is also subject to our Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy, which covers how we collect, use, share, and store your personal information. You agree that by clicking “Join Now”, “Join Pocmi”, “Sign Up” or similar, registering, accessing or using our services (described below), you are agreeing to enter into a legally binding contract with Pocmi(even if you are using our Services on behalf of a company).

Services This Contract applies to Pocmi.com, Pocmi-branded apps, and other Pocmi-related sites, apps, communications and other services that state that they are offered under this Contract (“Services”), including the offsite collection of data for those Services, such as our ads and the “Apply with Pocmi” and “Share with Pocmi” plugins. Registered users of our Services are “Members” and unregistered users are “Visitors”. This Contract applies to both. Pocmi You are entering into this Contract with Pocmi(also referred to as “we” and “us”) and your personal data provided to, or collected by or for, our Services is controlled by Pocmi, Inc. Members and Visitors When you register and join the Pocmi Service, you become a Member. If you have chosen not to register for our Services, you may access certain features as a visitor. Change We may modify this Contract, our Privacy Policy and our Cookies Policies from time to time. If we make material changes to it, we will provide you notice through our Services, or by other means, to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective.

To use the Services, you agree that: (1) you must be the “Minimum Age” (described below) or older; (2) you will only have one Pocmi account , which must be in your real name; and (3) you are not already restricted by Pocmi from using the Services. Members who were below this new Minimum Age when they started using the Services under a previous User Agreement may continue to use them, as they have already reached the new Minimum Age since then or will reach it in the near future. “Minimum Age” means 16 years old. However, if law requires that you must be older in order for Pocmi to lawfully provide the Services to you without parental consent (including using of your personal data) then the Minimum Age is such older age.

However, if the Services were purchased by another party for you to use (e.g. Recruiter seat bought by your employer), the party paying for such Service has the right to control access to and get reports on your use of such paid Service; however, they do not have rights to your personal account. Payment You’ll honor your payment obligations and you are okay with us storing your payment information. You understand that there may be fees and taxes that are added to our prices. We don't guarantee refunds. If you buy any of our paid Services (“Premium Services”), you agree to pay us the applicable fees and taxes and to additional terms specific to the paid Services.

We may store and continue billing your payment method (e.g. credit card) even after it has expired, to avoid interruptions in your Services and to use to pay other Services you may buy. If you purchase a subscription, your payment method automatically will be charged at the start of each subscription period for the fees and taxes applicable to that period. To avoid future charges, cancel before the renewal date. All of your purchases of Services are subject to LinkedIn’s refund policy. We may calculate taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase.
