Recurring subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled from your account settings.
10. Messaging and communications
The Platform provides in-app messaging to facilitate hiring conversations. Communications must remain professional and respectful. WorkNow may monitor for safety, fraud prevention, and policy enforcement, and may remove messages or restrict accounts that violate these Terms. Do not share sensitive identification documents or banking details through chat.
11. Verification and trust
Some features require identity or business verification. While we use automated and manual review tools to reduce fraud, verification badges do not constitute an endorsement or guarantee. You remain responsible for evaluating the suitability of any candidate, employer, or job opportunity.
12. Third-party services and links
The Platform may contain links to or integrations with third-party services (e.g., Google authentication, Stripe payments, external job listings). We are not responsible for the content, terms, or practices of those third parties, and your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies.
13. Intellectual property
The Platform, including its design, software, text, graphics, and trademarks (such as the WorkNow name and logo), is owned by WorkNow, s.r.o. or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Platform for its intended purpose. All other rights are reserved.
14. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of others, or to protect the Platform and its users. You may close your account at any time from your settings. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as content licenses, disclaimers, and limitations of liability) will continue to apply.
15. Disclaimers
The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, WorkNow disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Our total cumulative liability for any claim under these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to WorkNow in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).
17. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless WorkNow and its affiliates from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Platform, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
18. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
