You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into contracts. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements. Athena may request proof of eligibility at any time and may suspend or terminate access if eligibility cannot be verified to our satisfaction.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when registering for an account and to update such information as needed. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify Athena immediately at legal@athena.live if you suspect unauthorized use.
Athena may refuse, suspend, or terminate your account at its sole discretion for any reason, including suspected misuse, violation of these Terms, or if continued access would expose Athena to risk or liability.
The Service is a curated professional networking and job intelligence platform. You will comply with all applicable laws and refrain from activities that could harm Athena, its users, or partners. Prohibited conduct includes, without limitation:
Athena reserves the right, but not the obligation, to monitor, remove, or restrict any content or activity that violates these Terms or exposes Athena to liability.
You retain ownership of the content, data, and materials you submit (“User Content”). By submitting User Content, you grant Athena a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, transferable, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, and otherwise use the User Content for any purpose related to servicing, operating, promoting, and improving the Service, including derivative works and commercial purposes.
You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that your User Content does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights. Athena may use aggregated and anonymized data derived from User Content for analytics, product development, artificial intelligence model training, marketing, and other legitimate business purposes.
Employers, recruiters, and partners are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and compliance of their job postings, outreach, and hiring practices. Athena does not guarantee the availability, compensation, timeline, or outcome of any job opportunity, nor does Athena verify employer representations.
Candidates are responsible for evaluating the legitimacy of job opportunities and for complying with applicable laws, including employment, immigration, and tax regulations. Athena is not a party to, and bears no liability for, any employment or contractor relationship established between users.
Certain features may require payment of fees. By purchasing a paid feature, you agree to pay the fees disclosed at checkout, including all applicable taxes. All payments are non-refundable unless required by law or expressly stated otherwise in writing by Athena. Athena may change pricing, payment terms, or bundled offerings at any time, with changes taking effect upon posting to the Service or upon notice to you.
If recurring billing applies, you authorize Athena (and our third-party payment processors) to automatically charge your payment method until you cancel pursuant to the applicable terms. Failure to pay may result in suspension or termination of access to paid features.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ATHENA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. ATHENA DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT CONTENT OR DATA WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR COMPLETE.
You acknowledge that any reliance on information, listings, or communications obtained through the Service is at your sole risk. Athena does not vet or endorse users, employers, or opportunities unless explicitly stated in writing.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ATHENA, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND PARTNERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ATHENA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
ATHENA’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO ATHENA FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Athena, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Service, (b) your User Content, or (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law. Athena reserves the right to assume control of the defense of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate with our defense and settlement strategy.
Athena may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately, with or without notice, if we determine that you have violated these Terms, pose a risk to Athena or other users, or if providing the Service is no longer commercially viable. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases, but Sections 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive will remain in effect.
These Terms and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
All disputes shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Los Angeles County, California, in English, pursuant to the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement. You waive the right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action, and the parties agree the arbitrator may award relief only on an individual basis.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Athena may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its confidential information, intellectual property, or to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Service.
You represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or jurisdiction subject to U.S. embargo or designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and you are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with all U.S. and international export and sanctions laws and regulations.
Athena may modify these Terms at any time. We will post the updated Terms on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Changes take effect immediately upon posting unless a later effective date is specified. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
