You agree that LSS may, at its discretion and without liability to you, remove from the Website any advertisement which is posted in breach of these rules:
- Job advertisements placed on the Website must be for genuine vacancies only, and not for other products or services, either relating to or unrelated to recruitment including, but not limited to, affiliate schemes, pyramid selling schemes or any other so-called “business opportunity”.
- Any advertising that uses the name or logo of the company being recruited for is subject to the eClassified rates for such advertising as detailed in the payment terms specified on the Website, and in Clause 9.

LSS may also, at its discretion, either amend an advertisement or remove it from the Website without liability to you to make any refund of amounts paid or due to be paid in respect of the posting or otherwise and will inform you accordingly.
You agree to deal fairly and professionally with Individuals who may respond to an advertisement you have posted and not do anything which may bring LSS or the Website into disrepute. You will fully indemnify LSS from and against any claim brought by an Individual against LSS arising from your breach of this obligation, or any other term of these Terms.
You may use the Careers Portal for the purpose of finding suitable Individuals for specific job vacancies that you, or (if you are an employment agency or employment business) your clients, wish to fill. You may contact Individuals only for the purpose of filling a specific job vacancy and may not use the information in connection with other unrelated activities.
LSS does not guarantee any response to your advertisement or that responses will be from Individuals suitable for the job advertised.
It is your responsibility to carry out such checks and procedures as are necessary to ensure that Individuals are suitable for the job advertised and have the required qualifications and personal characteristics.
