Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and Christopher LaHart (“we,” “us,” “our”), who operates teenworkr.com (the “Services”). By using the Services you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

We may change these terms. If we do, we'll update the date above, and continuing to use the Services means you accept the change. If a change is significant, we'll say so on the site rather than relying on you to notice.

The Services are intended for people aged 13 and over. If you are under 18, you should have a parent or guardian read these terms with you.

TeenWorkr is a job directory. We are not an employer, staffing agency, recruiter, or employment agency. We do not hire, place, represent, or act on behalf of any job seeker or any business. We are not a party to any employment relationship formed between a user and an employer, and we receive no fee from any hiring decision.

We do not verify any claim made in a listing, including the minimum age, pay, hours, working conditions, or whether the employer complies with laws governing the employment of minors. Employers state these things themselves. Nothing on this site is a representation by us that a listing is accurate, that a job exists, or that any employer is lawful, safe, or suitable.

TeenWorkr does not verify employer compliance with minor labour laws. Confirm permit requirements and eligibility directly with the employer and your state labour office.

Listings reach this site in three ways: an employer posts one, we add one on an employer's behalf at their request, or we collect one from a job posting the employer published publicly on their own website or from a public business directory. Collected listings are not verified, are attributed to their source, and may be claimed or removed by the business they belong to at any time by contacting us.

We never state a minimum age that a posting did not state. Where a posting gives no minimum age, we show “age not listed” rather than estimating one.

Applications are made directly to the employer through the method they provide. We do not receive, store, forward, or review applications, resumes, or any information you send to an employer. Once you leave this site, the employer's own terms and privacy practices apply.

If you post a listing, you warrant that you are authorised to act for the business named, that the listing is accurate and describes a genuine opening, and that the role complies with all applicable laws, including minimum age, permitted hours, and prohibited occupations for minors. You are solely responsible for your hiring practices and for any application you receive.

You keep ownership of what you post. By posting, you grant us permission to display, format, and distribute it as part of the Services, including in search results and previews. That permission ends when the listing is removed. We do not sell your content, and we do not claim any rights to it beyond running the directory.

We may remove or decline any listing at our discretion, including one we believe to be inaccurate, unlawful, or unsuitable for the people who use this site.

Featured placement is paid advertising. It affects only where a listing appears in results. It is not an endorsement, a recommendation, or any indication that a listing has been verified or that an employer is more trustworthy than any other. Featured listings are labelled as paid placement.

Featured placement runs for a fixed period. It does not renew automatically and you will not be charged again unless you buy it again. Prices are in US dollars and may change, but a change never affects a period you have already paid for.

Refunds. If we remove or decline a listing you have paid to feature, we refund the unused portion. If you delete the listing yourself, or cancel before the period ends, we do not, the placement was available to you.

Payment is processed by Stripe. Card details are entered on Stripe's own checkout page and never reach our servers.

Browsing and applying never require an account. Employers may create one to manage listings. You are responsible for keeping your password and any listing link we email you confidential, and for what happens under your account.

If a listing link is shared or forwarded by mistake, you can switch it off and get a new one from your manage page at any time.

By using the Services you confirm that: the information you give us is true and kept up to date; you are at least 13; if you are a minor, you have your parent's or guardian's permission; and you will not use the Services unlawfully or through automated means.

Posting genuine job openings, and managing them, is what this site is for and is expressly permitted. Beyond that, you agree not to:

• Post false, misleading, or fraudulent listings.
• Post roles that violate child labour law, including prohibited occupations, unlawful hours, or a stated age below what the law allows.
• Recruit for multi-level marketing, pyramid schemes, or commission-only “opportunities.”
• Solicit personal information from minors, or contact them for anything other than the job posted.
• Claim a business you do not own or represent.
• Harvest or scrape listings, or extract contact details in bulk, or compile our listings into another database.
• Circumvent rate limits, or access the Services through scripts, bots, or other automated means, ordinary search engine crawling excepted.
• Use the Services to advertise or sell anything other than genuine job openings.
• Sell or transfer your account or listing link to anyone else.
• Impersonate anyone, or use the Services to harass, abuse, or harm another person.
• Interfere with the security or operation of the Services, or attempt to access parts of them you have not been given access to.
• Upload anything harmful, or use the Services in a way that breaks any law.

We may investigate and take action, including removing listings, suspending accounts, blocking access, and reporting to the authorities, if we believe any of this has happened.

The site itself, its design, code, text we wrote, and the TeenWorkr name, is ours. You may use the Services and print or save pages for your own use, personal or business. You may not copy the site, republish our content, or compile our listings into another product without our permission.

If you believe something on the site infringes your copyright, email us and we'll look into it promptly.

Applying takes you to an employer's own site, and we link to third-party sites elsewhere. We don't check, monitor, or endorse them, and these terms stop applying once you leave. Anything you do there is between you and them.

We show advertisements from an advertising network. We do not control what those ads contain and we do not endorse them. Separately, employers may pay us for featured placement of their own listings, as described above, those are labelled.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We can't promise the site will always be available, and we're not liable for downtime. There may be errors or out-of-date information on the site, and we may correct them without notice.

You can stop using the Services at any time, and employers can delete their account and listings from the manage page. We may suspend or end access to the Services, without notice, if we believe these terms have been broken. If we do, the sections that by their nature should survive, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution, continue to apply.

Our Privacy Policy forms part of these terms. The Services are hosted in the United States; using them means your information is processed there.

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we learn that we have, we delete it.

The services are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We make no warranty about the accuracy or completeness of any listing or of any site linked from the Services, and we assume no liability for errors in content, for personal injury or property damage arising from your use of the Services, for unauthorised access to our servers, for interruptions, or for anything transmitted through the Services by a third party.

In plain terms: we do not check listings, we are not responsible for what an employer does, and you should use your own judgement, the same judgement you'd use applying for any job you found anywhere else.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to you or any third party for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including lost profit or lost data, arising from your use of the Services. Our total liability to you for any cause, regardless of the form of action, is limited to the amount you paid us in the six months before the claim arose.

Some states do not allow these limitations, so parts of this may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights.

If someone brings a claim against us because of something you posted, something you did on the Services, or because you broke these terms or someone else's rights, you agree to cover our reasonable costs in dealing with it. We'll tell you if that happens and you can be involved in the defence.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Talk to us first. If something goes wrong, email us and give us thirty days to sort it out. Most things end here, and it costs neither of us anything.

Then arbitration. If we can't resolve it informally, the dispute will be settled by binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association's rules, including its Consumer Rules where they apply, in Massachusetts. You understand that this means neither of us goes to court or has a jury trial. If the arbitrator decides the fees are excessive for you, we will pay them.

Small claims are excluded. Either of us can still bring a claim in small claims court instead. Claims about intellectual property, unauthorised use, or requests for an injunction are also excluded from arbitration.

No class actions. Disputes are resolved individually. Neither of us may bring a claim as a class action or in a representative capacity, to the extent the law permits that restriction.

Any dispute must be brought within one year of when it arose.

If a complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs, 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

These terms, along with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between us. If we don't enforce something, that isn't a waiver of it. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. We may transfer our rights and obligations; you may not. Nothing here creates a partnership, employment, or agency relationship between us.

Using the Services and emailing us counts as communicating electronically, and you agree that electronic agreements and notices satisfy any requirement that they be in writing.
