Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Driftsmoke website and services (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Service

Driftsmoke provides a job board that aggregates and organizes fire-service job postings and related information from public sources and user submissions. The Service is provided for general informational purposes. We may add, change, limit, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service — including introducing new or paid features — at any time and without notice.

Accounts

Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep it up to date, and are responsible for activity that occurs under your account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and any access credentials.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• access, scrape, or harvest data from the Service except as we expressly permit;
• interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure;
• submit false, misleading, infringing, or unlawful content; or
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or related systems.

Job listings and third-party content

Listings and other information may originate from third parties or public sources, and we do not guarantee their accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or availability. Applications and hiring decisions are handled by the relevant departments and employers, not by Driftsmoke. You are responsible for verifying details directly with the source before acting on them.

Coverage is best effort

We work hard to find fire-service openings, but we cannot guarantee that the Service includes every job, every department, or every region, or that a listing appears by any particular time. Listings may be missing, delayed, incomplete, or out of date, and posting dates, deadlines, and requirements can change after we collect them.

Job alerts and other notifications are also provided on a best-effort basis. Delivering them depends on third-party networks, systems, infrastructure, and devices that we do not control, so a notification may be delayed or may not arrive.

Your submissions

If you submit content to the Service (for example, a job listing or a message), you grant Driftsmoke a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, and display that content in connection with operating, providing, and promoting the Service. You represent that you have the rights necessary to grant this license.

Personal records you keep in the Service — such as certification records or call logs — are your content and your responsibility. You must not enter protected health information, patient details, or any other person's personal or medical information into the Service. The Service is not a medical-records system, is not intended to store information covered by HIPAA or similar laws, and Driftsmoke is not a HIPAA business associate. You are solely responsible for ensuring that anything you write down complies with the laws and policies that apply to you, including your department's rules on incident information.

Subscriptions and payments

Some features are available only with a paid subscription, and some employer features (such as paid job posts and promotions) carry a fee. Prices and what each plan includes are shown before you buy.

Price changes. We may change our prices. If you have an active subscription and its price is going up, we will email you at the address on your account before the increase takes effect. The new price applies from your first billing period after that notice, and you can cancel before then to avoid it.

Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (for example, monthly or yearly) and are charged to your payment method until you cancel.

Cancel any time. You can cancel whenever you like, and you keep access through the end of the billing period you have already paid for; your subscription then ends and you are not charged again. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel in that store's subscription settings; if you subscribed on our website, cancel from your account. Deleting the app or your account does not by itself cancel a store subscription.

No refunds. Except where required by law, all payments are non-refundable, including for partial billing periods, unused time, or features you did not use. A subscription pays for access to the Service's features as they exist during your billing period, not for any particular listing, department, region, or level of coverage, so a missing, late, or inaccurate listing or alert is not grounds for a refund. Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are also subject to those stores' terms, and any refund request for them is handled by the store, not by us. We may choose to give a refund or credit in a particular case at our sole discretion; doing so does not oblige us to do the same in any other case.

Free and promotional access. We may offer free or promotional membership periods. Unless you choose to subscribe, a promotional period simply ends and you are not charged.

Intellectual property

The Service, including its design, text, graphics, and the Driftsmoke name and logo, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by applicable laws. Except as expressly permitted, you may not copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service.

Third-party links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites and resources. We are not responsible for those third parties or their content, and linking to them does not imply endorsement.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Driftsmoke and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or employment opportunities (including a missed job opening, application, or deadline), arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim arose.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Driftsmoke and its affiliates from any claims, damages, and expenses arising out of your use of the Service or your violation of these Terms.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above, and your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
