Recitals

Brave New Jobs S.r.l., with registered office in Cagliari, Via Carloforte no. 60, Italian Tax Code / VAT no. 04221210927, registered with the Cagliari Companies Register (hereinafter "BNJ" or the "Company"), makes available, free of charge and for the benefit of Users, a software tool (the "Connector") which enables the User — who already independently interacts with artificial intelligence systems to improve their curriculum vitae or to search for work opportunities — to transfer, in full autonomy, their professional data to the digital platform operated by BNJ (the "Platform").

The Platform is a tool through which the User may, in full autonomy and by their own choice, submit unsolicited applications to specific job vacancies published by third-party companies (the "Business Clients") that have licensed the use of the Platform for the digital management of their internal personnel-selection processes.

The User expressly declares and acknowledges the following:

(i) BNJ is not registered with the Italian Register of Employment Agencies referred to in art. 4 of Legislative Decree no. 276 of 10 September 2003, and does not carry out any activity of labour-market intermediation, recruitment and selection, employment leasing or outplacement support;

(ii) BNJ does not guarantee or promise the User any work opportunity, interview, hiring or favourable outcome of any application;

(iii) decisions concerning the User's applications are taken exclusively and autonomously by the Business Clients, by means of qualified human intervention; BNJ does not intervene in and does not interfere with such decisions;

(iv) the Connector and the Platform are offered to the User free of charge. BNJ does not request and shall never be able to request any consideration, on any account whatsoever, from the User for the use of the Connector, the Platform or for the transmission of the User's applications.

(v) in no event does BNJ take decisions concerning natural persons based on fully automated assessments.

All the foregoing being premised and considered, the User accepts these General Terms and Conditions (the "Terms").

1. Definitions

  • "Business Client": the private company, public administration or public body, the professional firm (e.g. law firm, accountancy firm, etc.) or the labour-market intermediary authorised under applicable law, that has licensed the use of the Platform for its own personnel-selection processes;
  • "Connector": the free software tool made available by BNJ, which the User autonomously chooses to install in order to transfer their professional data to the Platform;
  • "Self-Curated Data": the portions of conversation with a third-party artificial intelligence system that the User, on their own initiative, selects and explicitly confirms as relevant to their application, authorising the transfer thereof to the Platform;
  • "AI Features": the components of the Platform based on artificial intelligence techniques, operating in support of the User's process and of the Business Client's possible analysis;
  • "Platform": the BNJ digital infrastructure, including the User's personal area, the dashboards for managing unsolicited applications and the AI Features;
  • "Report": the structured document produced by the Platform, initially in anonymised version, containing a summary of the User's professional data in relation to a specific job position to which the User has autonomously applied;
  • "User": the natural person of age who installs the Connector and/or accesses the Platform.

2. Subject matter of the service

1. BNJ makes available to the User, free of charge, the Connector and access to the Platform as technological tools supporting the activity by which the User, in full autonomy, manages and transmits their unsolicited applications to Business Clients directly identified by the User.

2. The Connector and the Platform constitute a free tool intended for the User who already independently uses artificial intelligence systems to improve their curriculum vitae or to identify work opportunities. They are neither a job-search service nor a placement service.

3. The service is articulated, in particular, in the following features:

(a) installation and use of the Connector for the transfer, by the User, of their own professional data to the Platform;

(b) creation and management, by the User, of a personal account on the Platform and of the related dashboard;

(c) viewing, by the User, of the open positions made public by the Business Clients;

(d) submission, by the User, of unsolicited applications to one or more specific positions of their interest, with the consequent production of a Report (in initial anonymised version) intended for the Business Client of the specific position;

(e) receipt, by the User, of communications from Business Clients interested in acquiring the User's identifying personal data, subject to the User's specific prior authorisation.

4. The User acknowledges that the selection of the positions to which to submit their application is made exclusively by the User themselves. BNJ does not put forward any candidacy proposals to Business Clients nor does it perform any automatic matching between the User and the Business Clients.

3. Requirements, installation and account

1. The use of the Connector and of the Platform is reserved for natural persons who have reached 18 years of age and who have the legal capacity to act under applicable law. The User warrants the truthfulness of the statements made during installation and registration.

2. The installation of the Connector requires the prior acceptance of these Terms and of the related Privacy Policy. During installation, the User is invited to provide a series of specific and granular consents for the various processing activities envisaged.

3. By installing the Connector or according to the other modalities indicated on the Platform, the User creates a personal account on the Platform, accessible through personal credentials. The User is exclusively responsible for the proper management, custody and confidentiality of the credentials and undertakes to promptly notify BNJ of any suspected unauthorised access.

4. The User warrants that the data and information entered in their profile and transferred via the Connector are truthful, up to date, complete and not detrimental to the rights of third parties. The User is the sole responsible party for the content they enter or transmit through the Platform.

4. Operational flow and self-curation

1. The operational flow is typically articulated in the following phases:

(a) the User installs the Connector and accepts these Terms and the Privacy Policy, opening a personal account according to the procedures set out on the Platform;

(b) the User uploads their curriculum vitae onto the Platform through the upload interface;

(c) the User, through their dashboard, views the positions opened by the Business Clients and publicly available, and autonomously selects those to which they intend to apply;

(d) following the User's choice, the Platform generates a synthetic Report in anonymised version, intended for the Business Client of the specific position;

(e) the Business Client evaluates, in full autonomy, whether to access the de-anonymised version of the Report; should the Business Client wish to access the User's identifying personal data, it may do so only following specific authorisation released by the User in compliance with the regulations on personal data and with the Business Client's privacy policy.

2. Self-curation of AI content. Where the User intends to enrich their application with portions of conversation held with third-party artificial intelligence systems (by way of example, conversational AI systems), such portions are transferred to the Platform exclusively provided that the User, in full autonomy: (i) manually selects the specific portions of conversation deemed relevant to their application; (ii) explicitly confirms, through the dedicated flag and according to the modalities provided by the Connector, their willingness to transfer them to the Platform. Under no circumstances does the Connector proceed with the full or automatic transfer of entire conversations between the User and third-party AI systems.

3. The User is invited, prior to confirming the transfer, to verify that the selected content does not contain information exceeding the purpose of the application, data falling within special categories pursuant to art. 9 GDPR, or personal data of third parties.

4. The User acknowledges that the use of third-party artificial intelligence systems is subject to the terms and conditions of the respective providers, for which the User is exclusively responsible.

5. Free-of-charge service and prohibition of fees

1. The Connector, access to the Platform, the creation of the account, the transmission of unsolicited applications and the generation of the Report are offered to the User entirely free of charge.

2. BNJ does not request and shall never be able to request from the User, on any account whatsoever, any consideration, commission, contribution or payment.

3. The User is invited to immediately report to BNJ any payment request addressed to them by parties claiming to be BNJ or operators of the Platform that does not comply with this article.

6. Artificial intelligence features – transparency

1. The Platform incorporates AI Features which, on the basis of the professional data voluntarily provided by the User, produce a structured Report supporting the Business Client's analysis. The User is informed that, in the evaluation process, the Business Client may make use of the AI Features as a support tool.

2. Every assessment and decision concerning the User's application is taken exclusively, autonomously and finally by the Business Client, by means of qualified human intervention exercising effective human control over the outputs of the Platform. The outputs of the AI Features have informative and supporting nature.

3. The User has the right to receive, upon request, clear and meaningful information on the role of the Platform and of the AI Features in the evaluation process concerning them, within the limits set forth in arts. 26(11) and 86 of the AI Act, as well as in art. 22 GDPR. Such requests may be addressed to BNJ and/or, as far as relevant, to the Business Client.

4. Should the User believe that they have been prejudiced by a decision taken by the Business Client on the basis of automated processing of their data, the User may exercise the rights recognised by applicable law, including those under art. 22 GDPR, by addressing the Business Client in its capacity as autonomous controller of the relevant processing.

7. Exclusion of intermediation activity and absence of outcome guarantee

1. The User acknowledges and accepts that BNJ does not carry out any activity of intermediation between labour demand and supply, recruitment and selection, employment leasing or outplacement support, and that the Platform is exclusively a technological tool that the User uses to transmit unsolicited applications to companies directly identified by the User.

2. BNJ does not guarantee to the User, in any form, a favourable outcome of the applications submitted, the receipt of interview or hiring proposals, nor the effective consideration of the applications by the Business Clients. The User understands and accepts that the submission of an application through the Platform does not, in and of itself, create any obligation on the Business Clients.

3. BNJ is in no way involved in any negotiations between the User and the Business Client subsequent to the transmission of the Report and is not a party to any contractual relationships (by way of example, employment contracts, collaboration contracts) that may be established between the User and the Business Client.

8. Personal data

1. The processing of the User's personal data is carried out in compliance with the GDPR, with Legislative Decree 196/2003 and with applicable law, and is detailed in the Privacy Policy provided to the User upon installation of the Connector and accessible at any time from the User's personal area.

2. BNJ processes the User's personal data as an autonomous data controller for the purposes connected to the management of the Connector, of the account, of the Platform and of the production of the Report in anonymised version.

3. Following the authorisation released by the User, the Business Client accesses the User's identifying personal data and becomes an autonomous data controller of such data pursuant to art. 4(7) GDPR, on the basis of its own autonomous privacy notice which it is required to provide to the User.

9. User's obligations and limits of use

1. The User undertakes to use the Connector and the Platform lawfully, diligently and in compliance with these Terms and with applicable law.

2. The User is expressly prohibited from:

(a) entering or transferring false, misleading or rights-infringing data;

(c) using the Connector or the Platform for unlawful, fraudulent, discriminatory purposes, for purposes of unfair competition or detrimental to the image of BNJ or of third parties;

(d) attempting to access areas reserved to other Users or to Business Clients, or carrying out reverse engineering, decompilation, massive copying or scraping of the Platform;

(e) sharing their access credentials with third parties or allowing third parties to use their account.

10. Right to uninstall and to delete the account

1. The User has the right to uninstall the Connector at any time and to request the deletion of their account on the Platform, without the need for any justification and at no charge.

2. The deletion request entails the elimination of the account and of the personal data associated with it, without prejudice to any retention obligations provided for by applicable law and without prejudice to the personal data that, following the User's authorisation, have been lawfully acquired by Business Clients as autonomous data controllers, in respect of which the User may exercise their rights directly against such Business Clients.

11. Intellectual property

1. The Connector, the Platform, the AI Features, the interfaces and all the related technical and creative elements are the exclusive property of BNJ. Nothing in these Terms entails the transfer to the User of any intellectual or industrial property right of BNJ.

2. The User grants BNJ a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence, limited to the purposes of performing the service, to use the professional data transferred by the User through the Connector and the Platform, for the sole purposes of producing the Report and making it available to the Business Client of the position of interest.

12. Limitation of liability

1. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and save in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence, BNJ shall not be liable towards the User for:

(a) the decisions taken by Business Clients towards the User, including decisions not to consider the application, not to proceed with hiring or to interrupt the selection process;

(b) the behaviour and conduct of Business Clients and their appointees in their relationships with the User following the transmission of the Report;

(c) temporary interruptions, malfunctions or unavailability of the Connector or of the Platform due to causes not attributable to BNJ;

(d) damages resulting from non-compliant use of the Connector or of the Platform by the User in breach of these Terms.

2. BNJ provides the services described in these Terms with the diligence proper to a professional technology provider, but does not release to the User any guarantee, express or implied, of fitness for a particular purpose, of continuity of the service or of favourable outcome of the applications.

13. Amendments to the Terms

1. BNJ has the right to update these Terms as a consequence of regulatory changes, evolution of the Connector or of the Platform, or development of the services. Amendments shall be communicated to the User with at least 15 (fifteen) days' prior notice with respect to their effectiveness, by publication on the Platform and/or communication to the User's email address.

15. Right of withdrawal and consumer protection

The User in any case retains the right to uninstall the Connector and delete the account at any time, pursuant to the preceding art. 10.

2. The User who qualifies as a consumer pursuant to Legislative Decree 206/2005 retains all the rights recognised by applicable law.

In all other cases, the Court of Cagliari shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

The User, by means of the dedicated acceptance flag present at the stage of installation of the Connector, declares to have read, understood and accepted these General Terms and Conditions, including, pursuant to and for the purposes of arts. 1341 and 1342 of the Italian Civil Code, the clauses set out in the following articles: art. 3.3 (Liability for credentials), art. 7 (Exclusion of intermediation activity and absence of outcome guarantee), art. 9.3 (Account suspension), art. 12 (Limitation of liability), art. 13 (Amendments to the Terms) and art. 16 (Competent forum).
