rateinterviews.com (the “Platform”) is a user-generated content platform that allows individuals to share subjective opinions and experiences regarding hiring processes and interview experiences with various employers.

You should conduct your own independent research and consult with qualified professionals before making any employment-related decisions.

Public Interest Statement: The review and discussion of employer hiring practices, interview processes, and workplace experiences serves a genuine and significant public interest. Transparent information about hiring practices benefits job seekers, promotes fair employment practices, enables accountability for employers, and contributes to informed labour market decision-making.

• Abuse Reporting Systems:
• File false or bad-faith reports to suppress legitimate, honest reviews
• Make frivolous or bad-faith takedown requests without a genuine legal basis
• Engage in or coordinate a campaign of takedown requests designed to suppress legitimate reviews about a single employer

5. Moderation & Neutral Platform Status

5.1 Limited Content-Based Moderation

We employ voluntary, good-faith, limited moderation to filter for:

• Profanity and obscene language
• Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
• Apparent NDA violations and confidential information
• Prohibited content as described in Section 4

Our moderation is content-based and applies uniformly to all User Content regardless of whether the content is favorable or unfavorable to any employer. We do not moderate based on viewpoint, sentiment, or because a review is negative or critical. Our moderation is restricted to the removal or non-publication of objectively prohibited content and does not reflect editorial judgment about the opinions expressed in reviews.

We do not:

• Edit the sentiment, substance, or opinions expressed in reviews
• Investigate or verify the factual accuracy of User Content
• Act as an editor, publisher, or guarantor of User Content
• Remove content merely because it is negative, critical, or unfavorable to any party

5.2 Neutral Interactive Computer Service

rateinterviews.com operates as a neutral “interactive computer service” and is not the publisher or speaker of User Content. Approval of content for publication does NOT constitute:

• Verification of factual accuracy
• Endorsement of opinions or statements
• A representation that the content complies with all laws
• Assumption of liability for the content

Canadian Users — Passive Intermediary Status: For Canadian users and operations, rateinterviews.com operates strictly as a passive intermediary and host of third-party content. rateinterviews.com expressly invokes the defense of innocent dissemination and the responsible communication defense on matters of public interest, as recognized by the Supreme Court of Canada in Grant v. Torstar Corp., [2009] 3 SCR 640. The review and assessment of hiring practices, interview experiences, and employer conduct constitutes a matter of genuine public interest. We further assert our rights under Ontario’s Protection of Public Participation Act, 2015, to seek dismissal of any proceeding that appears to be brought primarily to suppress legitimate expression on a matter of public interest.

Notice and Tiered Review for Canadian Users: To preserve our innocent dissemination defense under Canadian common law, upon receiving a substantiated written notice alleging that specific content is unlawful, we will review such content within the following timelines:

• Expedited Review (within 2 business days): Content alleged to contain personally identifiable information (PII), imminent safety threats, or content that is clearly unlawful on its face
• Standard Review (within 7 business days): Defamation, trade secret, confidentiality, or other legal claims supported by a written substantiated request including contact information, specific identification of the content, and the legal basis for removal

Receipt of notice initiates review but does not obligate removal. We remain entitled to challenge requests we deem without merit. These timelines apply to complete, substantiated requests only.

5.3 Right to Remove Content

We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to:

• Monitor, review, or moderate User Content
• Remove or refuse to publish any User Content that violates these Terms or is otherwise prohibited
• Suspend or terminate user accounts for violations of these Terms
• Cooperate with law enforcement and legal investigations

Removal of content does not waive our rights under Section 230, DMCA safe harbors, or other applicable legal protections.

No Duty to Monitor: Our voluntary and limited content moderation activities, including the review processes described in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, do not create, and shall not be construed to create, any legal duty or obligation to monitor, screen, investigate, or remove User Content. We expressly disclaim any such duty. The exercise of our discretion to remove or decline to remove content shall not be deemed an assumption of editorial control over, or responsibility for, User Content, nor a waiver of our status as a passive host and interactive computer service provider under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, applicable Canadian common law defenses (including innocent dissemination), or any other applicable legal protection.

6. Legal Protections & Compliance

6.1 Section 230 Immunity (U.S. Users)

To the fullest extent permitted by Section 230 of the U.S. Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230), rateinterviews.com is not liable for User Content posted by third parties. We are an interactive computer service provider and are not treated as the publisher or speaker of User Content. This immunity applies to all claims arising from User Content, including but not limited to defamation, libel, slander, invasion of privacy, and negligence claims.

Acknowledged Limitations of Section 230: Section 230 immunity does not apply to the following, which are governed by separate legal frameworks:

• Federal criminal law violations (18 U.S.C. § 230(e)(1)) — we cooperate fully with federal law enforcement
• Sex trafficking content (FOSTA-SESTA, 18 U.S.C. § 2421A) — such content is prohibited and will be removed immediately
• Intellectual property infringement claims — governed by the DMCA (Section 6.2)
• Our own first-party content (Section 230 protects only third-party content)

Section 230 does not apply to Canadian operations. Canadian protections are addressed through the innocent dissemination defense, responsible communication defense, and Ontario’s Protection of Public Participation Act, 2015 (see Section 5.2 and Section 6.5).

6.2 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) – Copyright Takedowns

6.2.1 Copyright Infringement Notification

If you believe that content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you must provide a written notice containing the following information (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed
• Identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location on the Platform (URL)
• Your contact information (address, telephone number, email)
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

6.2.2 Counter-Notification

If your content was removed due to a DMCA takedown and you believe the removal was erroneous, you may file a counter-notification containing:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the removed material and its prior location
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed or disabled due to mistake or misidentification
• Your name, address, telephone number, and consent to jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or the District of Delaware if outside the U.S.), and that you will accept service of process from the complainant

We will forward the counter-notification to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a lawsuit within 10–14 business days, we may restore the removed content.

6.2.3 Repeat Infringer Policy

We maintain a policy of terminating accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. Users who receive multiple substantiated DMCA takedown notices may have their accounts permanently suspended.

6.3 Takedown & Dispute Resolution Process

6.3.1 Non-Copyright Takedown Requests

If you believe content on the Platform violates your rights (other than copyright), you may submit a removal request. Your request must include:

• Your contact information and relationship to the affected party
• Specific identification of the content and its URL
• The legal basis for removal (e.g., defamation, trade secret violation, privacy violation)
• A good faith statement that you are not filing the request to suppress truthful, legitimate criticism
• Supporting evidence or documentation (if applicable)

6.3.2 Review Process

We will review takedown requests (subject to the timelines in Section 5.2 for Canadian users) and may:

• Remove the content if it clearly violates these Terms or applicable law
• Request additional information or clarification
• Deny the request if it lacks merit or appears to be an attempt to suppress legitimate speech
• Notify the user who posted the content and allow them to respond

We are not obligated to remove content simply because it is critical, negative, or unfavorable. Legitimate, good-faith reviews and opinions are protected expression.

Coordinated Suppression: We will decline to process takedown requests that appear to be part of a coordinated campaign to suppress legitimate reviews. Evidence of coordinated abuse of our takedown process — including multiple requests from affiliated parties targeting reviews of a single employer without genuine legal basis — may result in our disclosing the conduct to affected users and relevant authorities.

6.3.3 Counter-Notice for Non-Copyright Takedowns

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was improper, you may submit a counter-notice explaining why the content should be restored. We will review and make a determination within 14 business days.

6.3.4 No Indefinite Removals

Content will not be removed indefinitely pending the outcome of disputes unless required by a valid court order. Parties seeking permanent removal must obtain appropriate legal relief through the courts.

6.4 Privacy Policy

Your use of the Platform is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using the Platform, you consent to our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy is available at: [Link to Privacy Policy]

6.5 Anti-SLAPP Protections (U.S. Users)

rateinterviews.com expressly asserts its rights under applicable U.S. anti-SLAPP statutes to seek dismissal of any proceeding brought primarily to suppress legitimate expression on matters of public concern, including:

• California Code of Civil Procedure § 425.16 (California anti-SLAPP)
• Texas Citizens Participation Act (TCPA), Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 27.001 et seq.
• Washington Revised Code § 4.105 et seq.
• Nevada Revised Statutes § 41.635 et seq.
• Oregon Revised Statutes § 31.150 et seq.
• DC Code § 16-5501 et seq.
• Equivalent anti-SLAPP or anti-SLAPP-like statutes in other applicable states

Reviews of employer hiring practices, interview processes, and workplace experiences constitute “communications in connection with a public issue” or “matters of public concern” protected under these statutes. Lawsuits against rateinterviews.com arising from the hosting of such reviews may be subject to expedited dismissal and fee-shifting under applicable anti-SLAPP law. We will vigorously invoke these protections.

6.6 Company Right of Reply

Employers whose hiring practices are discussed on the Platform have the right to submit a public response to reviews posted about them. This right of reply:

• Is available to verified representatives of the employer named in a review. To be considered a verified representative, an individual must submit the response from an email address at the employer’s corporate domain, or otherwise provide current employer-issued credentials, a company-issued business card, or a professional networking profile (such as LinkedIn) that reasonably establishes the individual’s current role at, and authority to speak on behalf of, the named employer. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to request additional verification, to deny verified status, or to revoke previously granted verified status at any time
• Must comply with these Terms of Service, including Section 4 (Prohibited Conduct)
• Is subject to the same content moderation standards as all other User Content
• Will be displayed publicly adjacent to the review it responds to

Submission of a right-of-reply response constitutes the employer’s agreement to these Terms. Employer responses that are defamatory, threatening, harassing, or designed to identify or intimidate the anonymous reviewer will be removed. To submit a right-of-reply response, contact us at [Insert contact].

The availability of a right-of-reply mechanism does not limit our Section 230 immunity or any other legal protection, and does not constitute an admission that any review is inaccurate or unlawful.

7. Limitation of Liability

7.1 Disclaimer of Warranties

Consumer Protection Carve-Out: The limitations of liability set out in this Section 7.2 do not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable consumer protection legislation, including (without limitation) Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, 2002, Quebec’s Consumer Protection Act (RLRQ, c. P-40.1), and applicable U.S. state consumer protection statutes. To the extent that applicable law requires a higher standard of liability or prohibits the exclusion or limitation of liability, our liability shall be limited to the minimum extent permitted by such law.

8. Indemnification

8.1 User Indemnification Obligation

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless rateinterviews.com, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all:

• Claims, demands, actions, or proceedings
• Liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and legal costs)

Arising from or relating to:

• Your User Content or your use of the Platform

9. Dispute Resolution

9.1 Mandatory Arbitration (U.S. Users)

For users located in the United States:

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform (including the validity, scope, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement) shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.

Arbitration Terms:

• The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator
• The seat of arbitration shall be Delaware, USA (or your home state at your option)
• The arbitration shall be conducted in English
• The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding
• Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction

Exceptions: Either party may seek equitable relief (injunction, specific performance) in court for intellectual property infringement, breach of confidentiality, or violation of Section 4 (Prohibited Conduct).

Consumer Protection Savings: Notwithstanding the foregoing, you retain any rights that cannot be waived by contract under the consumer protection laws of your state of residence. The CCPA provides certain rights that cannot be limited by mandatory arbitration clauses, and this arbitration clause does not limit any such rights.

9.2 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND RATEINTERVIEWS.COM AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You waive any right to participate as a class representative or class member in any class action, collective action, or representative proceeding against rateinterviews.com.

This class action waiver does not apply where prohibited by applicable law.

9.3 Canadian Users – Jurisdiction

For users located in Canada:

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes not subject to arbitration shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of Ontario, Canada. You irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection to venue or inconvenient forum.

Canadian Common Law Protections: rateinterviews.com expressly invokes its status as a passive intermediary and host of third-party content under Canadian common law. Receipt of notice of allegedly unlawful content does not automatically render rateinterviews.com a publisher of such content. We assert the defenses of innocent dissemination and responsible communication on matters of public interest, as established by the Supreme Court of Canada in Grant v. Torstar Corp., [2009] 3 SCR 640. We further assert our rights under Ontario’s Protection of Public Participation Act, 2015, to seek dismissal of proceedings that are brought primarily to suppress legitimate expression on matters of public interest, including the review and discussion of employer hiring practices and interview processes.

Quebec Users – Special Provisions: The mandatory arbitration clause in Section 9.1 does not apply to Quebec consumers. Nothing in these Terms limits the rights of Quebec consumers under Quebec’s Consumer Protection Act (RLRQ, c. P-40.1) or other applicable Quebec consumer protection law. Quebec consumers may pursue claims in the courts of Quebec, including the Small Claims Division of the Court of Quebec, notwithstanding any jurisdiction or venue clause in these Terms. Disputes involving Quebec users shall be governed by Quebec law and applicable federal Canadian law.

9.4 International Users

For users outside the U.S. and Canada: You acknowledge and agree that the Platform operates primarily in Canada and the United States. By using the Platform, you consent to the jurisdiction of Ontario, Canada or Delaware, USA (at our election) for dispute resolution.

9.5 Limitation Period

Any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to your use of the Platform or these Terms of Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action first arose, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Claims not commenced within this limitation period are permanently and irrevocably barred, regardless of any discovery rule or other tolling doctrine.

Consumer Protection Carve-Out: To the extent that applicable consumer protection law (including California’s Unfair Competition Law, Quebec’s Consumer Protection Act, Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, or other applicable statutes) provides for a longer mandatory limitation period that cannot be contractually shortened, the minimum limitation period required by such law shall apply in lieu of the one-year period set out above.

10. Governing Law

10.1 Canadian Operations

For Canadian users and operations, these Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and applicable federal laws of Canada.

10.2 U.S. Operations

For U.S. users, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

California Carve-Out: Notwithstanding the Delaware choice-of-law clause, California residents retain all rights that cannot be waived by contract under California law, including rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act, the California Unfair Competition Law, and the California anti-SLAPP statute (CCP § 425.16). To the extent that California has a materially greater interest in any dispute and applying Delaware law would deprive a California resident of a fundamental California policy, California law will govern that dispute. California’s statutory minimum limitation periods and consumer protection rights are preserved and not waived by the choice of Delaware law.

10.3 International Compliance

Users outside Canada and the U.S. are responsible for compliance with local laws. If your local laws prohibit you from agreeing to these Terms, you may not use the Platform.

11. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced with a valid provision that most closely reflects the original intent.
