11. Registration: Creating a Candidate Account and completing your Profile

1. Creating Your Account

You will be required to register and create an account (“Account”) in order to access and use certain features of the Platform to search for jobs and to engage in conversations with Recruiters. There are no fees associated with Candidates’ access and use of the Platform. You must be at least 18 years of age to use our Platform and to create an Account. If you are not 18 years old, you may not, under any circumstances or for any reason, use the Platform and/or create an Account. The Website and our Services are not targeted to or meant for anyone who is not 18, and we will not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to accept or reject your registration to use our Platform.

When creating an Account, you may register via your LinkedIn profile, your Google account, or your email address. If you register via LinkedIn or Google, your personal information will be pre-filled by our partners based on the permissions you grant to those third-party services. If you register via email, you will be required to provide your first name, surname, email address, and a secure password.

Your password must be strong and comply with our security requirements. It must remain strictly personal and confidential. You are solely responsible for all actions resulting from the use of your Account, regardless of whether you initiated them. You therefore must not allow any third party to use your Account in your place or on your behalf, and you must take all appropriate measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of your password and username.

In the event of loss or theft of your login credentials, you must notify Welcome to the Jungle immediately by filling out the form available on our Help Center here. You are entirely responsible for any consequences resulting from late or lack of notification in the event of loss or theft of your login credentials.

2. Completing Your Profile

Once your Account has been created, we encourage you to complete as much information as possible in your profile to maximize your visibility to Recruiters and improve your job search experience. You may provide information including your personal and professional background, job preferences, role criteria, cultural aspirations, work experience, educational background, skills and competencies, professional certifications, contact information, and location preferences.

12. Job Matching, Search, and Applications

1. Personalized Job Matching

When you log into your Account, you will have access to a personalized selection of job opportunities matched to your profile. Our matching technology analyzes your profile information to recommend job opportunities that best correspond to your background and aspirations.

The jobs presented to you are selected based on their compatibility with the preferences you have specified in your profile and the relevance between your professional profile and the requirements of available positions.

For detailed information about how our matching technology works, including the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, please refer to our AI information Notice for candidates (as defined below).

2. Exploring Additional Job Opportunities

While our matching technology prioritizes the most relevant opportunities for you, you retain full freedom to explore and search for additional job opportunities beyond those recommended. You may browse all available jobs on the Platform, use filters and search criteria to refine your search, view Recruiters company profiles, and save jobs for later review.

3. Submitting and managing your Applications

To apply for a job available on our Platform, you must complete an online application form that may include personal and professional information.

Application forms are created and managed solely by the Recruiter posting the job. Your application and all information provided will be sent directly to the Recruiter. WTTJ is not involved in the recruitment process and does not make hiring decisions. Only the Recruiter is authorized to contact you regarding your application.

Some job postings may redirect you to third-party websites where you submit your application directly. In such cases, WTTJ is not responsible for third-party sites, their content, or their application processes. You should review the terms and privacy policies of such third-party sites.

You may track and manage all your job applications through your Account dashboard, where you can view all submitted applications, monitor application status when updated by Recruiters, access communication history with Recruiters, and withdraw applications if desired.

At the time of your application, you expressly warrant that all information shared is truthful, accurate, and complete. Providing false, misleading, or inaccurate information may result in rejection of your application by Recruiters, termination of your Account by WTTJ, or legal consequences under applicable law.

13. Following Companies, Content, and Receiving Notifications

By using the Platform, you acknowledge that we will send you notifications and communications necessary for the operation of our Services based on our legitimate interest in providing you with a functional and effective job search experience. These include communications related to:

  • Your use of our Services and Platform functionality

  • Messages and contact from Recruiters regarding your applications
  • Activity from companies you follow
  • Important account and security information
  • Privacy policy updates or changes to these Terms of Use

These operational communications are essential to your use of the Platform. You have the right to opt out of certain operational communications (excluding those related to security, legal obligations, or essential Platform functionality), but doing so may significantly impact your ability to use the Services effectively.

14. Profile Visibility and Recruiter Contact

When you create an Account on Welcome to the Jungle, your profile is visible to Recruiters by default. This allows Recruiters to discover and contact you directly about job opportunities that match your professional background and preferences.

Recruiters may view your profile information when they use our sourcing tools and search filters to identify relevant candidates. The profiles presented to Recruiters are selected based on the information in your profile, whether entered manually or automatically, and your stated job preferences.

You may opt out of this visibility feature at any time by changing your status to “Not Available” in your Account settings. When you opt out, your profile will no longer be visible to Recruiters and they cannot contact you proactively through the Platform. You can still browse jobs and submit applications.

You may reactivate your visibility at any time by changing your status back to “Visible” or “Open to Opportunities.” Changes take effect immediately.

For more information about how your data is used for sourcing purposes, please refer to our Sourcing Service Information Notice.

15. Suspension or termination of your Account

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you are responsible for your use of the Platform, and you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our and their respective shareholders, directors, managers, members, officers, employees, consultants, and agents (collectively, the “WTTJ Parties”) from and against every claim brought by a third party and any related liability, damage, loss, and expense, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or connected with: (1) your unauthorized use of, or misuse of, the Website and/or the Services; (2) your violation of any portion of the Terms of Use, any representation, warranty (notably but not limited to warranty on User Content), or policy referenced in these Terms of Use, or any applicable law, rule, or regulation; (3) your violation of any third-party right, including any Intellectual Property Right or publicity, confidentiality, other property, or privacy right; (4) Your User Content; or (5) any dispute or issue between you and any third party.

You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, the Terms of Use, and/or your access to the Platform.

PART F: MISCELLANEOUS

28. Electronic Communications

The communications between you and WTTJ may take place via electronic means, whether you visit the Platform or send WTTJ emails, or whether WTTJ posts notices on the Platform or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from WTTJ in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that WTTJ provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing.

41. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement

Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and WTTJ agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreements arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Platform, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Platform, or these Terms of Use and prior versions of these Terms of Use, including claims and disputes that arose between you and us before the effective date of these Terms of Use (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (i) you and WTTJ may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (ii) you or WTTJ may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of these Terms of Use as well as claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

2. Informal Dispute Resolution

There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and WTTJ. If that occurs, WTTJ is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and WTTJ agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low-cost, and mutually beneficial outcome (“Informal Dispute Resolution”). You and WTTJ therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you will also participate in the conference.

The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to WTTJ that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to legal@wttj.co or regular mail to our offices located at 8-10 rue Saint Fiacre, 75002 Paris, France. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, email address associated with your Account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute.

The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.

3. Waiver of Jury Trial

YOU AND WTTJ HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and WTTJ are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 41.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

4. Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief

YOU AND WTTJ AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 41.9 (BATCH ARBITRATION), EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party’s individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under Section 41.9 (Batch Arbitration). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this section are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and WTTJ agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This section does not prevent you or WTTJ from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

5. Rules and Forum

This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and WTTJ agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section of this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are currently available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf.

A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, email address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable Account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.

If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.

Unless you and WTTJ otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in Section 41.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will be solely set forth in the applicable AAA Rules.

You and WTTJ agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and shall be subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

6. Arbitrator

The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of New York and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under Section 41.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.

7. Authority of Arbitrator

The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to Section 41.4 (Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief), including any claim that all or part of Section 41.4 (Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief) is unenforceable, illegal, void, or voidable, or that such Section 41.4 (Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief) has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in Section 41.9 (Batch Arbitration), all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in Section 41.9 (Batch Arbitration). The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

8. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs

The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or WTTJ need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

9. Batch Arbitration

To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and WTTJ agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against WTTJ by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).

All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by WTTJ.

You and WTTJ agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.

This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective, and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.

10. 30-Day Right to Opt Out

You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to legal@wttj.co within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address associated with your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

11. Invalidity, Expiration

Except as provided in Section 41.4 (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. You further agree that any Dispute that you have with WTTJ as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.

12. Modification

Notwithstanding any provision in these TOUs to the contrary, we agree that if WTTJ makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, we will notify you. Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to WTTJ at 8-10 rue Saint Fiacre, 75002 Paris, France, your continued use of the Website or the Services, including the acceptance of products and services offered on the Platform following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement, constitutes your acceptance of any such changes. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of this Agreement and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Service, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Service, or these TOUs, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted the TOUs (or accepted any subsequent changes to the TOUs) remain in full force and effect. WTTJ will continue to honor any valid opt-outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of this Agreement.

13. Governing Law

ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS IS EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED FROM THIS AGREEMENT.

14. Exclusive Venue

To the extent the parties are permitted under this Arbitration Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and WTTJ agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the TOUs will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York, New York County.
